#mullen

This video started out like any others on your brother’s boys channel. It continued on with small, stupid jokes and more ‘boy shit’ as you like to call it. Everything was going pretty normal for a haunted video so far, which was; very scary.

A few hours in, you all came into the superintendent's office or the warden’s office for easier wording. You, the boys and the two camera people, Alana and Dose, were gathered in the office space. Mully started to ask a question which got interrupted halfway through. “Do you guys ever regret-”.

"Yes, everything." Sam and Colby both say. To which everyone laughs at as Mully replies. You make the ‘aye’ sound as you dab them both up.

“Me too guys, oh my God. Twinies-well would it be triplets?” You make a confused face, tilting your head, trying to decipher your own words. Sam nodded in understanding, “Ah yeah, for sure triplets.”

“Yeah, 'makes more sense.” Narrator adds. Mully grumbles, rolling his eyes in a joking way as he retorts. “You didn’t even let me finish.”

“That’s what she said!” You point out with a large grin on your face feeling proud of yourself for that joke.

While everyone except Narrator, Sam, Colby, and you shook their heads since they were used to it. Though of course Narrator would find it funny since he always tells dad jokes.

 Later on when Mully goes into the Estes method; Alana turns the camera light off and uses the night vision mode. “Oh shit!” Sam exclaims, jumping in his seat from the sudden darkness.

“Is this a bad time to say I’m afraid of the dark?” You chuckle nervously, leaning against Eddie from where you sat next to him.

“EEW, you got cooties!” He made a disgusted face and pushed you off him and into Colby; who sat on the other side of you. “It’s okay Y/n, I’ll protect you from the ghosts.” He claims, flexing his biceps, then wrapping one arm around your shoulders.

“Man, I don’t even know this guy and he’s already much better than you, ugly.” You stick your tongue out at Eddie and he does the same back to you, scrunching his nose. You two have always acted like little pricks to each other.

Narrator gasps aloud and points to the doorway. “I swear to God I just saw someone in the doorway.”

“Shut your fucking mouth. Nuh-uh!” You point your pointer finger at him quickly. Then, both your hands gripped the closest thing nearby, which was Colby’s other arm.

Since you had at least one brain cell left and definitely wouldn’t want to squeeze his thighs, even though that sounds very delightful in your mind.

You hide your face in Colby’s jacket, accidentally pinching him in the process. He lets out a small ‘ah’ sound. Your eyes widen, glad no one can see your face right now as you could feel your cheeks and ears start to heat up in embarrassment.

“So sorry.” You spit out, whispering to make sure no one hears and makes it a big deal. “It’s fine. I’m a big boy.” Colby also whispered and sent you a reassuring smile; or of what you can see in the darkness, deflating most of your worries.

Feeling his muscles through the layers of clothes, what a pity it was cold in here, you decide you didn’t want to be teased anymore than you felt.

“The cat ball is going off!” Your ears pick up Sam’s voice through the room.

You back your head away from his chest and unfortunately keep your hands to yourself. And once situated in your spot once more, you let go completely from Colby, pouting in the dark since you wanted to hold on longer.

About ten minutes go by and somehow Narrator is teaching the ghost/spirit the stanky leg, again might you add as he said earlier his group had previously done it, but you didn’t believe them.

Sam was also now in the Estes Method, speaking as the spirit. Now you can see it right in front of you, which is ridiculous. Narrator continued to do the stanky leg until he got an idea.

Of which he was trying to say, but then got cut off by Sam. “I’m gonna walk over to this thing right here in the corner-” “It’s enough of Grant.”

And everyone ‘Oohh’d at that.

“That’s right. Sit the fuck down, hoe.” Your voice mends with their laughter and voices from the situation. Eddie saying, “Sit down. Sit down.” This is absolutely crazy, you think. And continuing with the questions, there was a big thud sounding above them, then Colby freaked out.

“Dude, I felt, like, a big vibration right behind me.” He pointed behind him, showing where he heard it at.

“What!? Don’t say that you fucking dick.” You gasped, slapping his shoulder in a ‘no way!’ way. “I did not move, bro.” Eddie’s shocked voice joined.

“I'm not lying dude. Did either of you like, hit the floor? Like that.” Colby made a show of hitting his hand on the floor behind you two, to make the noise of what he had heard previously. “It got colder, did you feel it?” Josh adds, looking around at everyone.

“Yeah, definitely got colder.” Juicy nods.

Colby gasps and points past you at the doorway, “Wait a light came on in the hallway, did you see that?”

“No bitch, cause like, what the fuckity fuck fuck, man.” You reach over and grab Eddie’s hand, holding it tight as he squeezes back letting you know he’s there for you.

Even if you guys fight a lot(most times you're near each other) you’re both proud to be siblings and will absolutely protect one another if need be. And in this moment it’s you needing comfort from your big brother. Everyone is talking over each other about what’s occurring.

“I don’t stop.” Sam remarks. “Woahh. My thing’s going off!” Josh shows his EMF detector out for everyone to see.

Somehow it’s now you that’s seeing shit all over the room and in the hallway past the door. You squeeze on the bigger hand in yours as you see a shadow move past by the doorway and a light glare in your eyes.

“What the fuck, Eddie! There was just a shadow figure in the hallway! And the light again!” You freak out, pointing excessively at the door.

“That’s me.” Sam says. All the boys, plus you, freak out again. And Juicy says, “Come in the room.”

“No Gaege, like, no. No, shut the fuck up, no!” You basically yell at Juicy, how could he say that when you’re seeing things? Such a massive weenie.

“I’m showing up.” Sam says. While everyone says, “Show up then.” You chuckle nervously, standing from your seat on the floor, letting go of Eddie’s hand.

“Okay guys, this is where I’ll leave.” You clap your hands together taking a step forward when a huge bang was heard through the hallway. “NOPE!. Nevermind guys, I changed my mind.” You waved your hands down and hurriedly sat back next to your brother, holding his arm with your hand for dear life.

“Show up then, come inside.” Narrator demands.

You scoff, “Are you crazy? I hate you.” You stare right at him, shaking your head in disappointment.

The boys and you all stare at the doorway hoping to see something or anything. Not that you really wanted to since it really freaked you out, but it’s honestly pretty cool when you come to your senses and aren't at the haunted building anymore.

Your eyes catch something once again pass by and gasp, wrapping your arms around Eddie's middle body, burying your face into his shoulder. He sets down the Thermal camera he held and makes a way of throwing his own arms over your shoulders, hugging you tight, knowing how scary this all is.

“Dude, you can see it. You can see it!” Mully exclaims pointing again at the door. Your brother hugs you impossibly tighter and scoots you both back further from the doorway where everyone is seeing the same shadow thing.

“What the fuck was that?!” Eddie’s shocked and shaky voice rings out in your ears as he snuggles you into him further, trying to protect you from whatever is in the hallway, whether it be good or bad.

All the boys start to project their concerns about what was in the hallway. A few of them asked what happened to you as they were too focused a few minutes earlier on the dark figure to notice you practically embedded with Eddie.

Most of them say they saw the shadow glide past the door and others saying it was standing there peeking from the wall. “It’s okay sis, nothing’s gonna get us. I’ll make sure of it.” Eddie whispers against your head, then gently kisses it as he lays his cheek on top of it.

And you know as long as he can; that will be the truth. Now that provokes the unshed tears in your eyes that you were trying to hold in for long as this was going on. He hears the shift in your breathing and sniffles through all the guys talking amongst themselves.

He rubs your back gently with one hand, knowing a way to calm you down. “You see me.” Sam’s forgotten voice cuts through the thick tension in the air.

“Oookay. Woah, my thing and that thing just went off.” Josh points out. Though you can’t see, you can hear and that makes you whimper in fear and squeeze your eyes shut more than they already are in hopes to leave this stupid place.

This whole night has consisted of scary moments and in all of them you tried to be seen as not terrified, but that’s exactly what you were and you couldn’t take hiding it anymore.

Your brother knew you very well and he could tell when you needed a break. He could also tell when you were too scared to continue and was counting now as that time.

”Alright, this is crazy and I need to take Y/n away before this gets worse.” Eddie spoke up, grabbing everyone's attention and letting them know through his facial expression what needs to happen; not wanting to embarrass you.

“Pink, in the corner.” Sam spoke suddenly. Everyone sees the situation transpiring and moves along with their friend’s idea. Curled against Eddie’s side still, your shoulders tremble with your heavy, crying breaths.

“I think we should stop for a bit.” Eddie says. Everyone agreed with him, but went on to say they need to ask a few more questions to see what was there and then finish up. They try to make it as fast as possible.

“It’s time. I’m ready.” The spirit speaks through Sam. "Ready for what exactly?” Juicy asks.

Such a terrible question, you think.

“Y/n.” Sam frowns with a furrow in his brows, obviously confused.

Some guys exclaim in disbelief of why he said your name. “I think we should go look and see what’s out there.” Your, apparently stupid, brother suggests.

“Mexicans don’t do this shit, bro.” You mumble into his jacket, voice sounding stuffy. Eddie laughs, then repeats what you said to the rest when they ask what’s so funny.

"Ironic, you say that Eddie! Y/n’s on your ass tonight!” Mully snickers at the huddled couple of weirdos.

“Yeah! Somebody has gotta be out there with, like a flashlight.” Colby freaks out and jolts out of his seat, standing among you guys when he sees a light turn on by itself. “Did you see that? The light in the hallway?” He points down the hall again, backing up a step.

“I’m taking a picture!” Eddie takes a picture of the doorway and hall with the Thermal camera he sat down earlier just as Sam says, “Hi.”

Knocks sound at the other door to the left as Sam speaks again, “Want. Her.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Time for an actual break, c’mon.” Eddie lifts the both of you as carefully as he could, not wanting you to be too spooked by anything else said or done. He knows how you can get when showing that you're scared.

You hate it.

All the guys, Alana and you made way for the exit, not forgetting to take Sam out of the Estes. (almost, oops!) They all gathered all the equipment and went outside to revise what had really occurred. All of them telling Sam the unbelievable things he’s said and what went on when he was under.

Eddie walked you down by the car knowing you wanted to be far from everyone ‘cause you didn’t want them to see you like this. After you rested a bit and calmed your breathing; amongst other things, you went to join the others.

Dose was showing everyone the footage of the scene just before you left. “What, broo!” Juicy shouts, laughing as a nervous tick, pointing at the camera with one hand while the other covers his mouth.

The other’s have a similar reaction as him, including your brother, who is now realizing how terrible of an idea it was to bring you.

On the camera viewfinder showed a tall, dark shadow figure peeking from behind the hallway wall; which kind of has the portrait of Slenderman.

He brought you away from the rest with a hand on your shoulder gazing at you with a very serious facial expression. To which almost made you clench your butt from.

How is he so scary?, you think. Oh right, dad of course, ugh.

You remain calm, although you kinda want to shit yourself, curious as to what he was gonna say. “You can’t go back in.” He said with a straight face, shaking his head lightly.

Your jaw drops slightly in shock, furrowing your eyebrows. “What? No, I wanna go back. At least then I’ll be with people.” You showed your hand to the group gathered around Dose’s camera.

“Well, then I can have one of the boys or Alana stay out with you.” He shrugged, taking his hand off you and both into his pockets.

“But then what if something happens to us and you’re not here? I need my big brother to protect me.” You scoff, knowing internally that this will work; it almost always does. I mean who wants to go tell your mom some ghost thing attacked your sister and you weren't even around to help?

Not Eddie, of course.

Plus not to mention the whole you’re actually scared thing and you would rather Eddie hover over you than be a burden to the man watching over you like a babysitter.

Speaking of Eddie, he sighed, a sign of him surrendering to your ‘sister spell’ as he would put it. “Alright, but! You will be right next to me the whole time. I don’t care if you have to shit, I’m gonna be outside the door.”

Now that makes you laugh, a good, hearty laugh, which you both needed as he joined in hearing how stupid it sounded. You playfully punch his shoulder, smiling triumphantly as he fake cries in silence from the pain.

“Ugh, you big baby.” You say, rolling your eyes as you walk away to the group talking amongst themselves. “Wait up, slug face!” He came jogging up to you and threw an arm over your shoulder pressing you tight against his chest, wrangling you.

“Whatever, beetle head.” You rolled your eyes again, grumbling about your personal space ruined.

For the rest of the night Eddie had made sure to be by your side whenever and wherever you were, making you feel much better about the previous occurrence.

He protects you with his whole heart.
