website.
****Night One part 2****
Timothy saw Hilde's face pale with dread and terror. He walked up to her and gave her a fierce hug and a kiss on the cheek.
He grabbed her shoulders and looked at her in the face.
"Hilde, you don't have to go out there if you don't want to. We won't blame you if you refuse to complete the dare."
Hilde looked at Timothy and nodded. She was so afraid of what might happen to her if she accepted the dare that she didn't
notice the tender and loving look that Timothy gave her.
"I guess I will go. I don't want to quit that easily." said Hilde.
"Hilde, are you sure?" asked Timothy.
"Yes, I will go." answered Hilde as she prepared her camera equipment. She was determined not to quit, knowing that if she
did, Duo would never let her forget it.
"Are you ready to go?" asked Jake.
Hilde nodded and walked outside the safe house towards the Custard House. Hilde could feel her heart pounding furiously
inside her like a drum. She took a calming breath and waited for Jake to give instructions.
"Okay baby girl, can you hear me?" asked Jake over the walkie talkie.
"Yes, where do I go?" asked Hilde.
"It says that you should keep walking straight to the fort's gate and once you get there you should take a left turn in the
courtyard. Once you take the left turn you should see the Custer House within a couple of yards.
"Okay, here goes nothing." said Hilde.
"Talk to me on the walkie talkie once you reach the Custer House." instructed Jake.
"Alright."
**************************************** *************************************************************************** ******************
Duo's eyes narrowed in fury as he saw the guy named Timothy hugging and kissing Hilde. No one should touch HIS girl like that
except him. Duo fought the feeling of thrashing the tv as he saw Hilde go and attempt to finish the dare that the first girl had
aborted.
Quatre turned to Duo as he felt Duo's feelings of rage and jealousy. He knew for a while that Duo had fallen in love with Hilde
and was barely finding out in the hardest way.
"Duo, what's the matter?"
"Nothing Quatre." snapped Duo.
"Are you jealous because Hilde is being hugged by another guy?" asked Quatre.
Duo glared at Quatre while everyone turned around to stare at Duo. They didn't know that Duo had developed deeper feelings for
Hilde by the way he had been behaving. Duo was known to be a lady's man and they had watched Hilde try to hide her hurt and pain at Duo's
escepades with other women.
"No I'm not!" Duo snapped at Quatre, "And I suggest that you keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you."
"You can't intimidate me that easily Duo. I know you have feelings for miss Hilde, Duo. It's your own fault that Hilde may have
found someone who can show her what it's like to be loved and not be rejected by someone who frequently goes out with women."
Duo's eyes widened at the realization of Quatre's words. Quatre was right, he had treated Hilde like if she didn't matter to him
as anyting more than a friend. He put his head down and looked at the tv as the show Fear came back on.
"Duo, I think that it's not too late to win Hilde's affection." said Relena.
Duo just nodded as he turned his full attention to what was about to happen on Fear. He hoped for Hilde's sake that she would be
able to last throughout the show. Duo really cared about Hilde and he hoped that it was not to late to get his goddess of death back.
************************************************************ *************************************************************************** **
"Jake, I'm in the Custer House. What do you want me to do?"
"Okay, it says that you should lay down on General Custer's bed upstairs. Once you lay down in his bed you should remain in radio
silence until further notified."
"Okay, here goes nothing." said Hilde as she walked up the stairs to General Custer's bedroom. She really didn't want to be there
but she really needed the money and she was determined to get. Even if it cost her, her sanity.
"I hope it doesn't come to that." said Hilde.
Hilde flashed her flashlight into the bedroom and walked in. She sat down on the bed and looked around the dark room. Hilde closed
her eyes as she remembered Sasha's terrifying encounter.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Help me! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllp! I saw the ghost! I quit!"
Hilde shivered as she felt cold dread fill her body. She whimpered as she remembered the psychic's story about the previous owner.
"The owner of the Custer House could hear General Custer's screams of pain, pain, pain............"
WHAM! WHAM! The door to General Custer's bedroom was slamming hard aganist it's frame.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Hilde screamed. The door stopped slamming shut and was followed by the severe drop of temperature.
Hilde knew that the drop of temperature meant the presence of a ghost.
"Please, don't hurt me." Hilde whispered, "I'm not here to harm anybody. Please don't hurt me."
************************************************************* *************************************************************************** ******
Timothy tried hard not to lose his temper as he, Mark, and Jake could hear Hilde's terrified scream. He knew since the first time he
saw her that he was in love with her. Timothy fought the overwhelming feelings of protectiveness. Somehow, he knew that Hilde would never
forgive him if he talked to her on the walkie talkie and disqualify her.
"Gosh, she could be hurt and there is nothing that I can do to help her."
Jake clicked on the instructions section and hoped that Hilde could come back now, but all he saw was another dare.
"Dare 3. Green, go to the pasture lands and use the EMF reader to see if there is any electromagnetic activity. White will navigate."
Jake paled and looked at the others with real fear in his eyes. They all knew that getting the $5000 dollars was going to get harder
than they ever imagined. Jake looked up and closed his eyes, trying to calm his nerves and gather some courage to go accomplish his dare.
"You can do this buddy." said Timothy, "You know you can do this."
Jake nodded and prepared his camera equipment, "Well of to the gates of doom."
Jake walked outside the safe house and walked down the dirt path towards the fort's gates. He could hear squeaking and growling noises
all around him. Everytime he heard a noise, Jake shined his flashlight towards the noise to see what it was. He didn't want anything
unpleasant sneaking up behind him.
"Jake, buddy are you at the gates?" asked Timothy over the walkie talkies.
"Yeah, I'm here. Man! This place is intensely creepy!"
"Okay buddy, it says to go to the far right until you reach a rock path between a grove of trees. Once you get to the rock path, I want
you to walk along the path until you reach a gate. I want you to open the gate and step inside. Once you do that, walk about 10 yards inside
the pasture lands. There you will find a group of the fort's buildings, using the EMF reader, you are supposed to check each of the buildings
from the outside. You are supposed to have the camera in front of you as proof that you have done what was asked. Once you finish using the
EMF reader around the buildings you will be able to return to the safehouse."
"I got it. I'm at the pasture lands with a group of buildings in front of me. Keep talking to me 'cause I'm getting creeped out here."
"Alright buddy, you are doing fine."
*********************************************************** *************************************************************************** **********
An hour later, Hilde was still fighting the urge to look up to the ceiling. She had the feeling that if she looked up, she would see the
ghost of General Custer. Hilde did not want to meet General Custer at all, ghost or no ghost.
"The owner could hear General Custer's screams of pain. She had the feeling that Custer's ghost didn't want her there, there, there......"
echoed the psychic's voice in Hilde's mind.
Hilde closed her eyes in terror and her mind suddenly filled with images of General Custer's last stand with the Native Americans. She felt
and saw the peoples' pain and suffering. She could hear the Native American women screaming and running as they saw General Custer's soldiers
attacking. Hilde's body filled with pain and terror as she saw General Custer and his men killing the Native Americans, but those feelings
intensified as she saw General Custer's own death................
"Please don't hurt me Mr. Custer, I'm only going to stay here for a while. Please don't hurt me." pleaded Hilde.
"Geeeeeeeeeeeeeet oooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!" roared General Custer's ghost.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" screamed Hilde horrified at hearing General Custer's voice. She curled her body into a fetal
position and covered her head with her hands to protect herself from whatever the ghost was about to do to her.
Suddenly, Hilde felt a strong force take a hold of her body as she felt herself being turned over on her back. She closed her eyes and
felt a cold freezing sensation rush throughout her body. Hilde opened her eyes and found herself looking at dark gray stony eyes that singed her
to the very soul. Hilde was too terrified to scream and could only let out a weak whimper as the ghost continued to stare at her. Hilde closed
her eyes again as she prepared for whatever Custer's ghost had in store for her.
A horrible growl soon filled her ear and Hilde opened her eyes to see General Custer's eyes turn from a cold grey to a menacing red. Hilde's
eyes widened in terror as she saw General Custer's ghost reach out towards her throat. Hilde screamed and tried to move but it seemed like she
was frozen in place. Hilde started to choke as she felt the freezing iron grip around her throat.
She tried to struggle but the more she struggled the more the ghost tightened his deadly grip. Hilde was about to faint from the lack of
oxygen when she heard her walkie talkie come to life.
"Hilde! Hilde! Are you okay? Come back to the safe house sweetheart, do you hear me? Come back!" yelled Timothy over the walkie talkie.
Hilde suddenly could move again as she jumped right off the bed and ran out the door. She could not stand being in the Custer House one
more minute. For Pete's sake, she almost died! All the while she was running, Hilde could hear a growling sound behind her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Hilde screamed as she felt the hair on the back of her neck shot straight up. She ran even faster as the
growling sounds grew even louder and more menacing.
"Timothy! Timothy! The thing is after me! Please open the door now!" shouted Hilde as she felt the Custer's ghost breathing down her neck.
As soon as Timothy opened the door to the safe house, Hilde ran right in, crashing into Mark who was standing right behind the door. Hilde's
face was white with terror as she lay on top of Mark. Mark gently pushed Hilde off from him and gave her a comforting hug. Hilde hugged him back and
stood up. Timothy quickly turned Hilde around and looked at Hilde's terrified face.
"Hilde, are you okay?" asked Timothy as he looked at Hilde's red neck.
Hilde just stared at him blankly as she was still terrified from the ordeal that very nearly cost her her life. Timothy grew alarmed as he got
no response from Hilde. He grabbed her chin gently and lowered his head and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. Hilde immediately closed her eyes and
kissed Timothy right back. Timothy responded by deepening the kiss and rubbing his tongue gently against Hilde's. Hilde's eyes widened and she broke
away from the kiss.
"I think we should stop this." said Hilde.
Timothy just nodded and went right back to the computer to check if any new dares came up. He knew he shouldn't have kissed Hilde like that, but
he was so relieved to see that she was okay. Timothy shivered with pleasure as he remembered the way Hilde had kissed him back. He seriously hoped that
Hilde didn't have a boyfriend that he would have to answer to when they got out of the fort. He was really interested in pursuing Hilde himself if she
was free.
************************************************************ *************************************************************************** ******************
Jake breathed deeply trying to calm his nerves as he checked the buildings surrounding the fort. He had been hearing strange noises ever since he
came near the pasture land buildings. He shivered in fright as he remembered the documentary piece of the outside buildings to the fort.
"Many years age, when the cavalry still used horses, soldiers patrolled the pasture lands around the fort buildings. It was said that one of the
shacks was haunted by a ghost who was often heard there, but never seen." said a local Fort Riley resident, "Soldiers who bunked there for the night would
hear the outside door open and would hear an invisible presence come inside. When they would go to check on the sounds, they would discover that there was
no one else present."
Jake shivered again and sighed as he walked around another shack, so far nothing weird had shown up on the EMF reader. Jake adjusted his camera and
said that he hoped that Hilde and anyone else who was on a dare would be safe because the investigation of Fort Riley was getting more serious and dangerous
than he thought.
"I would advise that no one come to Fort Riley because this place is ridden with angry spirits that don't want us here at all. They had already
hurt Sasha and I don't know what has happened to Hilde. I do hope for everyone's sake that we all come out of this okay. I hope...."
SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What was that!" screamed Jake.
"Jake! Jake!" yelled Timothy, "What is happening buddy?"
"I just heard something or someone smash into something. Man! My EMF reader is going haywire! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Jake! What is going on! Are you alright? Jake!" yelled Timothy.
"I feel that something is around here Timothy. I can feel him but I can't see him. I want to go back to the safe house."
"Are you done exploring the surroundings of the other buildings?"
Jake heard some footsteps coming towards him as the smashing sounds abruptly ended. He turned around and saw nothing behind or around him.
Timothy heard some rustling sounds over Jake's walkie talkie as Jake moved around the buildings than humanly possible.
"Shit! I'm done. I went through the last building, shack, or whatever you call those things. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! F*&%k! My EMF reader is going
haywire again!"
"Jake buddy come back to the safe house! You can come back now, you are done buddy. You made it!" said Timothy.
"I'm running back as fast as I caaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ughhhhhhhh!" exclaimed Jake as he felt an unknown force push him to the ground.
"Jake! Are you alright?" asked Timothy.
"Timothy, I swear something pushed me! I 'm getting there as fast as I can." said Jake as he got up at a fast paced run. All the while that
Jake was running back to the safehouse, the footstep sounds got louder and louder.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Jake picked up his pace only for the footsteps to get louder and match his speed.
Thump!thump!thump!thump!
"Man! That thing is following me like crazy! Open the door! I can see the safehouse!" screamed Jake as everyone heard a loud roaring sound come
over the walkie talkie.
Mark opened the door and closed the door immediately after a terror ridden Jake slammed through.
Rooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! SMASH!
*********************************************************** *************************************************************************** **************************
Everyone jumped back as the force that was following Jake crashed into the safehouse door but did not enter. They all looked at each other in silent
terror. Hilde started to wish that Duo was here to protect her and make her feel safe. The whole group went up to Jake and they all gave each other a
comforting hug. They all knew that this was no joking matter anymore as they all realized the real terror that they were in.
"I know that it's dangerous and I was almost choked to death but I can't quit now." said Hilde, "I really need the money to pay for some of my tuition."
"But this mission is getting more dangerous with each dare. What if one of us gets killed?" asked Mark.
"I don't know." said Timothy, "On the one hand, I also need some money for tuition."
"I'm staying if anyone of you guys is staying." said Jake.
"I may be crazy." said Hilde, "But I am staying through to the end."
Timothy looked at Hilde with loving admiration and nodded. He hadn't had the chance go to a dare yet and see whether he could handle the terror that he
was sure he was going to go through. Timothy turned to the computer and clicked on the dare section.
"Night one has ended. You will continue the investigation of Fort Riley tomorrow night. Good Luck."
Everyone got up from their chairs and got ready for an uneasy sleep during the day hours. They needed all the rest that they could get in order to be
ready for the terror filled night ahead of them.
Hilde put on her pajamas behind her cot and jumped into bed. She was too busy thinking about what might happen on night two that she didn't notice
Timothy staring at her. Hilde pulled the covers up to her chin and sighed.
"Hilde, I...I...I hope you have a restful sleep." said Timothy.
Hilde turned around and stared at Timothy, "Thanks Timothy, I hope you have a restfull sleep too."
"You want to sleep beside me?"
"What!"
"I didn't mean it that way Hilde." said Timothy blushing.
"Oh. I guess so." said Hilde as she got out of her cot and climbed in with Timothy. She snuggled down in the covers and sighed as sleep over came her.
Timothy stared at Hilde's sleeping face a few minutes later and gathered her closer to him, he seriously hoped that she didn't have anyone waiting for her at home.
He had the feeling that he was already in love with her.
************************************************************* *************************************************************************** *************************
Duo saw stars as he saw what was happening throughout the show. Hilde had almost gotten choked to death and the whole group had still stubbornly decided
to stay. His eyes narrowed in jealous anger as he saw Hilde climb into Timothy's cot.
Quatre, Wufei, Heero, Trowa, and the girls looked at Duo with concern as they saw the events unfolding on the tv screen. The girls seriously hoped for
Duo's sake that Hilde was still in love with him. If Hilde still loved Duo, then Duo had a chance to compete for Hilde's love.
"I hope that no one gets hurt out there." said Relena with real concern for everyone who was at Fort Riley.
"I hope that Tim guy gets his ass kicked." growled Duo angrily, "Before I do some ass kicking myself!"
"You have not right to do that! Hilde finding someone who appreciates her is your fault!" snapped Catherine, "You didn't show Hilde any feelings but
friendship and even neglet! I just hope for your sake that Hilde comes back alright from Fort Riley. She went out there to prove herself to you and to get some
money on the side."
Duo glared at Catherine as he realized the truth of her words. He had been treating Hilde as if she didn't matter to him other than a friend or a sister.
Now she was at Fort Riley to prove herself and probably found someone who could show her his true feelings.
"Hilde, I know that I don't deserve another chance but please come out of Fort Riley safe so that I can win your heart." said Duo.
Quatre patted Duo on the shoulder in sympathy, Duo was finding out the hard way that loving someone was not always easy.

Jake shivered again and sighed as he walked around another shack, so far nothing weird had shown up on the EMF reader. Jake adjusted his camera and
said that he hoped that Hilde and anyone else who was on a dare would be safe because the investigation of Fort Riley was getting more serious and dangerous
than he thought.
"I would advise that no one come to Fort Riley because this place is ridden with angry spirits that don't want us here at all. They had already
hurt Sasha and I don't know what has happened to Hilde. I do hope for everyone's sake that we all come out of this okay. I hope...."
SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What was that!" screamed Jake.
"Jake! Jake!" yelled Timothy, "What is happening buddy?"
"I just heard something or someone smash into something. Man! My EMF reader is going haywire! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Jake! What is going on! Are you alright? Jake!" yelled Timothy.
"I feel that something is around here Timothy. I can feel him but I can't see him. I want to go back to the safe house."
"Are you done exploring the surroundings of the other buildings?"
Jake heard some footsteps coming towards him as the smashing sounds abruptly ended. He turned around and saw nothing behind or around him.
Timothy heard some rustling sounds over Jake's walkie talkie as Jake moved around the buildings than humanly possible.
"Shit! I'm done. I went through the last building, shack, or whatever you call those things. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! F*&%k! My EMF reader is going
haywire again!"
"Jake buddy come back to the safe house! You can come back now, you are done buddy. You made it!" said Timothy.
"I'm running back as fast as I caaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ughhhhhhhh!" exclaimed Jake as he felt an unknown force push him to the ground.
"Jake! Are you alright?" asked Timothy.
"Timothy, I swear something pushed me! I 'm getting there as fast as I can." said Jake as he got up at a fast paced run. All the while that
Jake was running back to the safehouse, the footstep sounds got louder and louder.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Jake picked up his pace only for the footsteps to get louder and match his speed.
Thump!thump!thump!thump!
"Man! That thing is following me like crazy! Open the door! I can see the safehouse!" screamed Jake as everyone heard a loud roaring sound come
over the walkie talkie.
Mark opened the door and closed the door immediately after a terror ridden Jake slammed through.
Rooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! SMASH!
*********************************************************** *************************************************************************** **************************
Everyone jumped back as the force that was following Jake crashed into the safehouse door but did not enter. They all looked at each other in silent
terror. Hilde started to wish that Duo was here to protect her and make her feel safe. The whole group went up to Jake and they all gave each other a
comforting hug. They all knew that this was no joking matter anymore as they all realized the real terror that they were in.
"I know that it's dangerous and I was almost choked to death but I can't quit now." said Hilde, "I really need the money to pay for some of my tuition."
"But this mission is getting more dangerous with each dare. What if one of us gets killed?" asked Mark.
"I don't know." said Timothy, "On the one hand, I also need some money for tuition."
"I'm staying if anyone of you guys is staying." said Jake.
"I may be crazy." said Hilde, "But I am staying through to the end."
Timothy looked at Hilde with loving admiration and nodded. He hadn't had the chance go to a dare yet and see whether he could handle the terror that he
was sure he was going to go through. Timothy turned to the computer and clicked on the dare section.
"Night one has ended. You will continue the investigation of Fort Riley tomorrow night. Good Luck."
Everyone got up from their chairs and got ready for an uneasy sleep during the day hours. They needed all the rest that they could get in order to be
ready for the terror filled night ahead of them.
Hilde put on her pajamas behind her cot and jumped into bed. She was too busy thinking about what might happen on night two that she didn't notice
Timothy staring at her. Hilde pulled the covers up to her chin and sighed.
"Hilde, I...I...I hope you have a restful sleep." said Timothy.
Hilde turned around and stared at Timothy, "Thanks Timothy, I hope you have a restfull sleep too."
"You want to sleep beside me?"
"What!"
"I didn't mean it that way Hilde." said Timothy blushing.
"Oh. I guess so." said Hilde as she got out of her cot and climbed in with Timothy. She snuggled down in the covers and sighed as sleep over came her.
Timothy stared at Hilde's sleeping face a few minutes later and gathered her closer to him, he seriously hoped that she didn't have anyone waiting for her at home.
He had the feeling that he was already in love with her.
************************************************************* *************************************************************************** *************************
Duo saw stars as he saw what was happening throughout the show. Hilde had almost gotten choked to death and the whole group had still stubbornly decided
to stay. His eyes narrowed in jealous anger as he saw Hilde climb into Timothy's cot.
Quatre, Wufei, Heero, Trowa, and the girls looked at Duo with concern as they saw the events unfolding on the tv screen. The girls seriously hoped for
Duo's sake that Hilde was still in love with him. If Hilde still loved Duo, then Duo had a chance to compete for Hilde's love.
"I hope that no one gets hurt out there." said Relena with real concern for everyone who was at Fort Riley.
"I hope that Tim guy gets his ass kicked." growled Duo angrily, "Before I do some ass kicking myself!"
"You have not right to do that! Hilde finding someone who appreciates her is your fault!" snapped Catherine, "You didn't show Hilde any feelings but
friendship and even neglet! I just hope for your sake that Hilde comes back alright from Fort Riley. She went out there to prove herself to you and to get some
money on the side."
Duo glared at Catherine as he realized the truth of her words. He had been treating Hilde as if she didn't matter to him other than a friend or a sister.
Now she was at Fort Riley to prove herself and probably found someone who could show her his true feelings.
"Hilde, I know that I don't deserve another chance but please come out of Fort Riley safe so that I can win your heart." said Duo.
Quatre patted Duo on the shoulder in sympathy, Duo was finding out the hard way that loving someone was not always easy.
