Prologue: The Second Will and the Preparations

At the time when I chose Hill House as the site for my experiment I never saw the consequences of that decision coming as a result. Nor did I ever expect that the woman I fell in love with was the youngest grand-daughter of the house's original owners till the day I see the lunatic face to face as he attacked my wife repeatedly during that trip.

After two months of recovery from the attack that night at the house, she had moved in with me and we were living together, before we got married eleven months earlier and things had been running smoothly for us as she decided to get her major and bachelors degree as a psychiatrist and her particular specialty had to do with dream and sleep deprivation. After a gentle debate with our boss he allowed us to combine both together and we and Mary were now working as one.

Though it had been eighteen months now since things couldn't be better now, aside from her issues with her relatives and her relatives I was getting fed up with. And as to why they didn't like the idea of her being her own person and they didn't like our friends. So instead of spending any time with them, we, the Sanderson's and the Watts. Mary and Todd, got together nearly every week for a game night and just spending time together.

Lying on the couch, I sat there thinking, before looking up at the image then of my uncle in-law and his new sextet. Before looking at the original and the new picture of both versions, and the two new additions to their gang. Though staring at two posters of my boss's triplets favorite tv show actors who were now young adults. A picture of the new team leader with my wife sitting on the sofa at the house the year before, I knew.

I knew differently, somehow he, Andrew Craine, who asked that we called him Andy at the time during our visit to the house. Found a way for us to see them when still alive and then sent the posters of them in human form to me and my wife, Eleanor. Which basically made it clear to us, what happened at the house was never a dream. It was all real, and soon enough I was going to see my little friends at the time there again.

As I saw the message on the picture gently. 'Eleanor, David, guys, as a way to remember us as you know us, but we chose our favorite rangers. Not just because we loved the show, but because they are us, we are them. Crazy week maybe at the time, but though gone and back in Boston. Well here is something to remember us by.' I read to myself then softly as I grabbed the picture frame then.

'Always remember, that the ones you love will never leave you, guys, not as long as you remember the things we taught you now. After he was gone for good in the doors, we chose to get this picture taken. You know this was never a dream, here I am next to you, though I look like the leader. He's my real flesh and blood appearance, the rest of the team cast are my friends and Sarah.'

'They are what we looked like when alive, but there is still one way for you to know us on sight, you have the money needed, to bring us back to life. Just remember our color sequence after we discussed this with you, remember. There is still away you can have us with you, as you remember us.' I read to myself and nodded as, looking at him with her on the couch with a smile on their faces.

After making a decision, I got up and moved to the pool table as I put the 11 on it, and put a black checker as between them and a second version. But this one was meant simulate the clones of two of the doppelangers on the show. Before putting two miniature hockey goals on both sides of the table and put the spare air hockey pucks in place. And by putting them over the pockets to create their version of hockey table then.

If they decided to leave the house and come visit, then I was making it so I could watch them back in the form I remembered them as when I met them. Seeing them sitting there softly, I looked at everything else I collected from the first three shows. And left it in the game room, which was across from the living room then. As I remembered the conversation between us and the Websters: her sister and Lou, her brother-in-law.

After a year being around them, her family still treated her cruelly and I was sick of it by that point. And we were ready to leave Boston by this point, but we didn't have any money to get there. Knowing that to leave now would expose the amount her mother left us, but that was about to change with the arrival of some new information. We had to wait until the testing was done and it was, so we could leave and were never returning.

And with us was the Sandersons, Watts and the Keoughs, as we got away from the Websters, our team and our friends were beyond close. But we just had to wait for the right moment to do it right then which was the reason I was waiting for Eleanor to get back. Which was why I sitting on the couch running over some files for my latest string of adult patients and my research on individual phobias when she got back then.

"How did it go at the bank honey?" I asked and she smiled. "Better than I expected, with one thing or another things are getting hectic, but we just got streamlined again. Evidently like when we met, the wiseacre screwing around with the chessboard is at it again." She said and I sat up at that, our meeting had been the result of the house pointing out my add for research subjects at the house for my project at the time.

And to her 18 months earlier and the ending results scared the hell out of the four of us and nearly killed both her and Luke Sanderson that night. "We expecting trouble as your parents, Caroline and Fred have been contacting us periodically. And ever since we left the Berkshires last year." I asked and she sighed. "Possibly, but if they're back, it means Andy and the others are back to see us." she said as she looked at the picture taken.

"You know, I know that looks like I'm hanging around with the kids that played him, him and the others, but if this is what Andy really looked like when alive. He just gave me a reminder of us on the couch talking, before Aunt Beth took that picture. Just before we came back at the time, which goes back to our conversation in the greenhouse." she said and I nodded in agreement as I hid a sigh to that remark as I thought it firmly.

'Not again, alright whoever is screwing with the chessboard leave us alone this time, you got two members of our group ejected from the house and nearly killed two more. So whatever you're trying to tell us this time, take it down several notches. If you don't mind, because I'm not losing my wife or anyone else in the group if this is heading where I think it is.' I thought with a mental growl to the person, or soul, who got to her now.

Somehow she ended up with becoming a conduit at the time, but the ending results had nearly killed her in the stand off and it took every ounce of my medical training to get her heart beating against when they pulled Hugh Craine into the doors, but before I could get that memory out of my head, I heard my voice shout in panic when I realized what she was about to do that night. 'Eleanor don't!' I remembered shouting to her.

At the time that night, after Luke had been knocked unconscious, it was the three of us and in order to protect us she had to deal with him, by getting him closer to the doors till he was hovering right in front of them and that was enough the judgment had been rendered guilty and spending an eternity in hell as the demons on the doors yanked him into it and the resulting blast had knocked her into it as well.

But the sonic blast from it had caused a third degree concussion and did damage to her spleen, uterus and heart and I had to get her heart going again and wait till morning, before I could take her to the hospital so she could recover. I knew if she found this information it likely meant a return trip to the house after eighteen months. As I thought this I refocused on what she was about to tell me then as she looked at me then.

"I miss them: the kids, the sextet, a lot, one heck of a visit up there, even if we still have a faint reminder at the moment, but honestly, even if he still is in the doors. I feel safer out there then just waiting around for Lou to lose it again." she said and I nodded in understanding. "We're better off with Jack and the others, Luke, Theo and the Watts with us, then being around the Websters." I asked her and she nodded to me softly then.

"Though you have me and the guys, you're still afraid of him laying a hand on you like that still at the moment. You want to get as far away from him as possible at the moment, and half a day's drive is far away enough that he could never find you." I added softly and she nodded to me. "Yeah that's it exactly, though the occasional nightmare, it's shifted off the close call that night back on him, Hugh's ghost maybe, but his face."

"I see Lou's face every time I watch the movie and when Hugh is coming after me on the movie, the movie maybe has the last 15 to 20 minutes changed. But the demons on the doors, I'm seeing Tom and Rick's team arresting Lou every time. I just want to get as far away from Boston as possible right now, but the test results came back. We got the money finally to move and never come back." she told me and I nodded in relief then.

"Lovely, they said the testing was going to choose the good egg after a year to eighteen months after the original will got probated honey." I said and she smiled as she answered me. "Yeah and I just heard that from Jack actually when I went to the bank to cash these checks and the test results just came back from bank David. But the testing is finished and I'm the chosen heir to the entire fortune now and with me is Dana as a result."

"When I was going to deposit some checks to day, Dave, the banker controlling Mother's assets gave me this savings bond box and told me certain things today. Evidently the will she'd given to her lawyer wasn't the only one, she created two and he just passed me the second, this is the one she created after she passed the other to Wilson." she said and I leaned forward as she opened up the box and to my shock we found gold, silver and an expensive amount of jewelry and a piece of paper in it.

'Oh my god, that's close to $55,000,000,000 in gold, silver and jewelry here, that's way too much here.' I thought as I said this out loud then as I looked at her. "Whoever this account this came from looks like your mother must have got it from the locals living in the early 1900's, because we stopped using gold and silver to pay for things by the time we hit the early 1900's here. But this looks like it dates back two hundred years old gold and silver along the Wild West time."

"That's no normal amount honey this looks like $55,000,000,000 in each metal and another $10,000,000,000 in jewelry. 97 years later the revenues are looking close to trillions in gold and silver, in this one box alone, if there's more like it at the house there's got to be trillions in gold, silver and bronze coins and jewelry and everything else up there, if she got this from someone who ran and enjoyed treasure hunts."

"But how could she keep this hidden from Jane and Lou without them confiscating it, they got rid of the apartment and everything in the apartment with it is more than a hundred dollars. If they knew about this they steal it and leave you with nothing and they've already done that once." I said and she nodded to that as she explained that.

"Wait, wait, 10, 20, 30,..., Jesus, there's over $450,000,000,000,000 here in gold, silver and bronze and jewelry, check the other one." I said and she did another calculation and smiled. "Both boxes together come to $900,000,000,000,000. This one belongs to dad and his family, alright when I said that last year's situation was a test, there was a proviso in the fine print and it was whoever showed everything that made up the family name."

"They'd get the entire family fortune, of both families, and the loser of the test was going to only get a tenth of what they deserve for their behavior, we just got the added test results today and I'm the chosen heir, for both of my parents. Though this is just piece of what was in that family fortune, plus mom's insurance policy, that's another $900,000,000,000,000,000. But altogether Jane and Lou just screwed themselves."

"As to why exactly, when Elizabeth Dudley said that the amount is incalcuble she wasn't kidding there's enough in the account and insurance to live off of for the next fifteeen years, but the amounts in the vaults, that's enough two hundred and fifty years, and this and whatever amount mom put into the insurance plan I can use that to get us a chance to start over now." she said and I smiled as I answered her.

"He said your memories were going to come back soon enough, but from just being around us it changed you into who you are now honey." I said and she chuckled. "With the fact I have you and the five as really close friends, I'm free of the old me and I'm taking up my legacy. My research was meant to help when I started acting on my job as a parapsychologist, which has just been activated, and with that."

"If we're going back I'm ensuring he stays in the doors permanently after this, if we got more than six coming for the next experiment at the house." she said and I smiled as I looked at her, in the course of eleven months she'd changed from the quiet sensitive woman I met and turned into a strong and vibrant woman I was proud to have as my wife and our sextet had healed the damage the situation did to her.

"Yeah well this time I'm not getting side tracked and we're together this time." I said and smiled at her, and she smiled as she got what I meant, we had delayed at having children and now that we were ready had the chance to now at our family manor. "Consider this a chance to try honey, though we're there to run another experiment, we got the chance to do our own." I said and she smiled as she hugged me at that remark smiling then.

And I tightened my arms around her as she answered me, checking the amount in the safe I put it together with the amount in the boxes. "Time to finish things off, the will stated we were to put the original amount together between the seven of us. That's us, the Sandersons, Keoughs and Watts, so we do it." she said and I nodded and the total amount nearly gave me a heart attack after we created the movie. and paid the bills.

"We barely spent more then $10,000,000, that's us and the quartet, but seven equal shares between us, Malcolm and Dana. That's, in total, the entire $900,000,000,000,000 in amounts and from the suitcase, to these two savings bond boxes. And as a result, Malcolm said that once the test results came back from the bank. He's turning his job over to Daniel and Carol." I said and she nodded in agreement to that remark then.

"Though the triplets are spending the normal school years up here, she decided with their share of the original amount, the one that we got gifted with, before we probate this will. They're building a summer home near the house and and we're in range of range of each other, but Dana said what I said. She's reached her limit of dealing with Jane here, and she wants out of Boston like I do." she told me amd I nodded to the news firmly.

"Just wait till Peter, Jared and Jack hear that." I said and she nodded in agreement, before she could though the phone went off, and she went to grab it and turned on the speaker. "Hello Marrow Residence, this is Eleanor, how can I help?" she asked and I heard a familiar voice answer that with a gentle smile in its tone. "Hey Kiddo, It's Rick Dudley, I take it the test results just came back didn't they?" he asked and she grinned at that.

"Yes they did, Mr. Dudley, and it's good to hear your voice, we're getting ready to let the Websters have it, but we're now ready to leave town here and I'll explain it later, but what I will say is you and the rest of mom's friends are getting your wish about me returning to town soon enough. I just got to get things organized, but I'll call back, or have Mrs. Dudley call me, because the quartet, David and I are making arrangements for a court hearing to legalize this one." she said and I heard a smile in his tone then.

"Alright, we'll call back soon enough honey, we're looking forward to see you again, see you in a few weeks baby." he said and she smiled. "You too, see you soon." she said and that ended it as she looked at me. "I think the grapevine is going to be going haywire later if he phoned me now baby." she said and I nodded in agreement. "I think with them dropping the act, it's time to act more like parents if anything here, where you're concerned, because I've never seen the sextet that furious after the fallout." I said gently and she nodded as she answered me.

"Yeah I know what you mean, but hearing the truth from him and Mrs. Dudley was enough to answer every question I had at the time and keeping in touch with them and the quartet helps too." she said, before the phone went off a second time then. "Hello, this is Eleanor?" she said and this time I heard the town judge. "Hey honey, if you're going over that, be ready, we just lit the fire in finances here where they're concerned."

"Everything we talked over, Caroline just laid the consequence of it sitting on the tables and he's really going to lose it, so if he goes for multiple felonies, have him arrested and I'm coming straight to Boston to help the judge deal with it." he said and she nodded. "How should I explain this exactly, because they never looked at the fine print and sped up the probate so they could sell the apartment at the time?" she asked him gently.

"When you go over it, read out the key words, before laying it on the table, because once you say them and why they were put in there, he's going to realize he's just screwed himself by getting greedy and Jack just phoned me over this, he's passing the deed to you, before you move back. After you deal with them go see Wilson, because the trial is going to be a month, before you return here." he said and she nodded to that.

"Here's the fine print on that baby, if you already guessed this, but the heir who shows they've got every characteristic of your great grandfather, upholds the family name, in both sides of it, and does everything that is reverse of the seven deadly sins. They get the family fortune on both sides of the family, the manor and everything that belongs to both sides of the family with getting the results back from the bank."

"You just proved you're the good egg and she's flunked the test, time's up for them and it's time for you to come home now, you and the quintet were made total locals at the time, but the added counter clause is getting ready to activate, so get ready the latest newspaper has the latest story on this and the grapevines going to be going all over town, within the next fifteen hours, if it hasn't already." he said and she nodded to that.

"Yeah alright, but I don't doubt that just from his decisions he and Jane are going to view this as favoritism now." she said and he sighed. "It doesn't matter if they do or not, you're the chosen heiress of the family manor and fortune honey. But I've got some bad news, I've gotten reports there's been several new outbreaks in the house lately, we could be looking at a repeater." he said and she nodded as her eyes narrowed at that.

"Terrific, alright, with the fact I'm regaining control of half of these abilities, I'm investigating that when I get back, but if this goes from what happened and right into the next portion of the haunted house flicks, we're calling in back up and coming completely prepared this time. David and I are going over the will mom just left me and I'm dropping the news to them afterwards, so be ready for the fall out, because it's hitting Rick Jefferson first." she said and he answered that gently.

"Heres the change up baby, with the will probate and the trial, the seven and I, with our other halves, are coming to Boston for a week, so we can deal with this, before you move to town later. Whatever Becky tells you you're hearing it from me first, but your jobs are a total positive, every area in jobs that you got there in Boston it's here. And that book you created is all over the town from this too, along with the movie. Though these kids, once they saw it, are seeing as a reason to try and break into the house after dark and half these kids are teenagers that are skeptics as well no less."

"By that I mean teenagers that are from another town and they all see these legends and stories like that kid in the movie did, though if he really has broken out of hell its going to start all over again. So with that, it's going to get hectic for a while here." he said and her eyes narrowed at that. "What are the chances of a repeat performance of that happening at Halloween, because we've got 6 to 8 months and it's going to get out of control if he pulls a repeat performance twenty four months to the day I dealt with him once already." she said and he sighed as he answered her.

"Extremely high, though with the added admissions to the will, it's giving the Websters a serious shock, Rob's account is here in Concord as well and Adam has been holding it since we told him you were coming back and he's got the bank cards and papers ready for you to transfer your bank accounts here. Because no matter what Webster says the sentence remains the same and we're having the attorney General get involved for this."

"Rob's account has close to $500,000,000,000,000,000,000. Your great grandfather on his side was just as wealthy as your great grandfather, but both together the amounts are going to get some added attention now. What I will say here is that Louis is not getting anymore loopholes or anything else out of this, because I'm making sure that sentence sticks and I'm your surrogate father like Jack is and with that fact in mind it's the end."

"What he did was completely illegal as well, let alone anything in the will created may be binding, but undermining it is completely illegal. What she left to you belonged to you and this is beyond cruel, and we're making it clear, that with this, the fact he set you up for a murder/suicide rap, his repeated DUI's, and his finding loopholes to get out losing his license each time, it's now time to come down off that mountain."

"Your sister is living your previous eleven years, before we found you when you came to town baby and their son, he's getting a babysitter assigned to him with your mother's personality and being removed from that private school he's in and put into public schooling, while everything that they have that is worth millions in money is getting out into storage. So the point of this is they're going to get a look at how people in low to medium middle class lived as they become them for five years while you switch positions."

"Your parents were very humble people, they showed the type of respect to everyone and were philanthropists. Just before I called, Jerry Philips said he found a check made out for a $100,000,000,000 to the town treasury and four more written into an envelope and they had a total of $400,000,000 to the businesses and the hospital and university that you and your friends are going to be working at, lying on the desk, and a message from your mother saying to go ahead and cash it, it's for your return and things are settled here for good for you." he said and she smiled at that.

"Uncle Peter, that first part of the movie was the fight you saw us in over the apartment, fact of the matter is that mom left me the apartment and he was intending to sell it, but the probate was later that week, if I'd known where that was heading and if I'd remembered your faces I would have called you and you could have over-ridden it." ahe said and his tone went firm. "Don't worry baby, I intend to make this one stick, Hammners is hearing from me when I arrive so he knows why I'm pissed off this."

"Parental friendships aside you've now got more than one adoptive father and mother and we're making that clear to the little bastard now. She's adopted, you're the true heir to both the Vance and Craine name. Son if you're listening to this it's time to activate the counter clause in the will." he said and I smiled. "Will do Peter, I'll take care it so when when are you guys arriving exactly?" I asked and she repeated that smiling.

"When do I see you again Uncle Peter?" she asked and I heard a smile in his tone at the title. "We're coming up in ten days baby, don't worry with us you're going to get to see us all the time later. Time to return home though, Jack is leaving the Commissioner in charge here and we're all coming to see you and your friends for this." he said and she answered him with a smile. "Well whatever they say I'm throwing the words they told me back in their face, and reverse psychology is really going to be worth this."

"I may have to face some old memories, but it's going to be worth it now, just to get away from them and their cliques. As for the repeater, when I get there, I'm getting into things and see what I can find, before our group starts showing up in six to ten weeks after that. But I'll see you in a few days, say hi to your wife for me, see you soon Uncle Peter." she said and I heard a smile in his voice at the title as he answered her.

"Alright, we'll see you in a few weeks honey, call back soon." he said and she nodded to that as that ended it. "A repeater, great, just when things can't get any worse, I could be looking at spending another month in recovery after the last heart attack eighteen months ago, and though it's been a year, I'm still at risk David." she said with a sigh as she sat back down next to me. "Before you let this start aggravating you, keep your temper honey, you've been doing fine since the entire gang is stationed here in Boston."

"Though at this rate, if he's trying to push you into cardio problems don't let him, we got to stay focused baby." I said and she nodded as I gave her a hug as I turned to the will and the final test results from the bank. "Lovely an integrity test and now we got to lay it out to them that their greed just caused them to shoot themselves in the foot, because he's still furious he can't haul me up on charges." I told her and she smiled as she said it.

"Yes I know, but that's the catch now, in fact that's their undoing: this was hidden in a secret account laid out to me, she was hoping when I found out the truth I was going to show my necklace to the clerk running her account. Going by what he told me, this situation was a test of character and integrity and the argument over the will and the apartment last year was the beginning of the test and that's the catch now."

"He said he and his family are the Craine family account managers. They run the account till they find the right person, in fact Frederick had a account created with the bank and this was the money he put in there, or more accurately, what's left of the amount after four generations of usage here and hid it till his one true heir could use it to take control of the house, and I just happen to be that heir as you heard from my confrontation with Craine, I'm a blood relative."

"To put this gently every member of the Craine family had an account set up for the younger generations, but the bulk of the money was hidden in the house, like the Addams family mansion set it up, everything was hidden in the lower levels of the house, and evidently the office I found was one of the hotspots he hid it in here as well."

"The test was to see who of the generation the bearer gave the will to-to see what they would do: if they acted like I did they got everything, and if they acted like Jane did, before I got involved in the experiment they got only a tenth if there were two heirs, one who acted like me and another who acted like Jane and that's where the will comes in."

"Mother knew about it, because grandmother told her and told her to give the necklace to her rightful heir, she left the rightful heir billions in gold and silver and after years of waiting in circulation, billions turned into trillions and this is the will she put into the box and into her secret account waiting for one of her daughters to show who they were when she passed and while I passed that test, Jane didn't, and I just got the secondary will back for a chance to use my heritage now as a way to change things."

"Mother knew I was going to find some new friends once she was gone, and figured the path would be laid out to me when the time came, said path when several months after her death and someone is running an experiment that involves the house and you chose that month to decide to run that test, Caroline was watching you and looked at your test preparations, realized that with you choosing certain individuals it was time to return the house to the rightful owner, and left the necklace out in the open."

"But this was no normal circumstance when you guys came into my life, Frederick went to some sort of fortune teller at a lesser run business up town and she stated that when the eldest of his grand daughters passed the true heir of the Craine clan was to return an destroy the evil inside the walls of our family manor." she said and I nodded as I saw more than one paper in the box and removed it. "Jefferson and the Chief said this was a testing time once the probate closed and now that it's done with they screwed themselves, what now dear, because if this is the good one it's time to activate it."

"And if this will is the correct one, it's going to give the Websters a shock, because while you may have lost your original apartment you wound up with a home twenty blocks over from your old apartment and you wound up with the one she didn't give them, because this was on stand by for a year till one of you passed whatever tests she gave you, and you evidently passed the tests when you started wearing her necklace."

"That's not just one will by the looks of it, but five, so Frederick, his daughter, grand daughter, Rebecca and finally you, so they write the wills up and put them in this box till the true heir could gain it and the true heir ends up with the necklace in the process, if they're a girl. Yes okay I get it, that C was the initial for the family name, 'C' Craine, not Caroline, but Craine. Mr. Dudley asked if a family history would help, but we may have to tell them that now if you just inherited the house." I said to her gently and she nodded.

"That's the good news now, every generation hid the wills in this box till the next generation had a choice: be greedy and start acting like a couple of gold diggers or helping others, which was where I came into it, the ones who acted like Jane ended up with a tenth of the Inheritence and the ones who acted like me gained all of it. In fact I found the one mom didn't give Jane, it says my mother and grandmother left me the manor, we can leave Boston forever." she said and I smiled at that news.

"By getting involved in the project, you just passed that test, so compassion, selflessness, charity." I said and she nodded as she answered me. "Yeah exactly, there's a degree of passages on being a Craine and I possess every attribute that makes the Craine family who they are. With the fact I've spent the last eleven months working out my degree and everything I decided to put to use at the time, and they're still treating us like this and he's still getting in trouble with the cops."

"They failed every test in the books and the will probate is waiting for me to legalize this one, but they're only getting ten percent of over $900,000,000,000,000,000,000 in money, gold and jewels and they really cross the line here too. So with that its turn about is fair play now, because I'm not the one who's found every loophole in the law and with that in mind is connected to the cops and you're all furious at her for the stunt they pulled, when I was in the hospital." she said and I nodded in agreement to that.

"Is the will in the box, because if this has everything we discussed we got to read it, before we tell them have the fine print in it now, because Lou hears this and he's screwed." I said and she nodded as she pulled a set of four papers out and put them on the table and opened it to the first one. "Ha, well Jane you finally caught it with mom, yeah okay baby here's the fine print now." she said and read it out to me.

'As the writer of the first will this will is to state that the first was a test to see how my daughters would respond to it. This will was a Craine family test of integrity to see if once the writer had passed away they'd act civil and be kind to the family living with the writer or start harvesting the entire living quarters for anything that was worth a lot of money."

"Had the heirs passed the test they split the amount down the middle, but had one of the heirs passed it and the other flunked it, the entire family fortune goes to the heir that passed the test, while only a tenth of the amount went to the heir who flunked the test. So if my youngest has found this letter and my necklace and knows her true family history it is time to activate this will."

"As to that I hereby leave our family manor and all of my jewelry, my account, and the box of gold and silver in the savings bond box that this will was found in to my rightful heir Eleanor Caroline Vance, my daughter is the owner of Hill House and all properties that are owned by my great, great grandfather Hugh Craine. My darling Eleanor, our family history I never told you about till now, because it explains the necklace you always saw me with."

"But there is more to your name than you think baby, back when the house was created Hugh had been collecting children from the mills and though he loved children he and his wife couldn't have them and it turned him into a possessive maniac till it kills his first wife Renee and your great, grandmother died as she was fighting him, we were waiting for you to find that necklace."

"Because you were meant to finish what she started and if you've done that, you're the true heir of the house and every property he owned, you showed what you remember since you discovered your true lineage and fix our family home to make it a nice place to have children. There's more money from these properties than you'll ever know, because Hugh Craine has the savings bonds and textile modules in his study, buried in a trunk in the house."

"My daughter, there's trillions in gold and silver buried with this money and everything you learned about yourself, if you learned the true history of the house, it's time to return it to its beauty and magestic states again. I hereby leave the house to you, every property owned by Hugh Craine and the money that I was setting aside, in case I didn't survive to tell you this myself."

"If you find your future it's going to be connected to the house and everything I never told you my darling, you're my daughter, my heir and it's time to return you to what rightfully belongs to you. I'm sorry my baby, I was hard on you, because you weren't ready, till now for the burden you face. Our family is one of the powerful and rich families when he created the house, everything that is worth billions is at the family manor, and I'll give you the map to it soon."

"What you showed is the heart of your station that night you met him face to face, it's time to finish the job, if he's still hanging out in the manor it's time to get rid of him forever. The message on the doors was all 'ye who stands before these doors shall be judged.', and you and your friends had been judged innocent and spiritually strong, you showed everything you needed to."

"That's the act of true member of the Craine family, we were philanthropists once Hugh died, we showed compassion and helped people. You showed all that and more and you did exactly what you were supposed to do when you found Grandma's necklace. To destroy the evil you had to get him in front of the doors and let the demons judge him, that door was like the waying of the souls ritual of the Ancient Egyptians, that's what it was meant for."

"When you arrived and were standing in front of the door with your new friends, you were judged and passed the tests and you passed every test that the situation gave you. And this will is the deciding factor and you've inherited the entire family fortune now with what you've gone through Eleanor."

"As for you Jane Emily, with the act of marrying Lou out of wedlock and having a child with him, before marrying and you probably removed everything that is worth taking in my apartment all I leave to you is a tenth of what is in the family fortune and the money that you stole from my daughter by selling our apartment and everything that was worth thousands in my property."

"The first will was a test Jane Emily, the will had several key points written into it. 'The executor shall have the right to dispose of any and all person property as he shall see fit.' But whether you did was up to you young lady. It was you leave her the apartment and everything in it, or you liquidate the assets and and you lose everything this will concluded to you, and you flunked the test."

"Your sister showed the compassion of doing what a true member of the Craine clan would and she is exactly what an heir to a true dynasty should be and she, though is quiet, has more strength than you ever will. Her husband, if he was involved in her path has his own rights to the truth and he is my legal executor of the properties I'm leaving to your sister. Whoever she married was meant to be involved as is their friends if they all got chosen to cleanse our family home."

"To my son-in-law, if you met my daughter in her self discovering mission and used the knowledge of your expertise it's time to put it to use if she chose to be involved in what job you have, and you can further your studies by this too. The house has a horror story and haunted house look to it, that you discovered, but the true history lays buried in the walls of it. Every spot that you couldn't see is really a hidden passage if you wound up down stairs for some reason."

"I'm pleased that she found you and you and your family are hereby the legal owners of every property of the Concord mining industries and Hill House. With this will is buried the map to the layout of the house, my grandmother gave me a way to map it out and now I give it to you and my daughter if you plan to run your studies further in what module you created at the time."

"I was hoping for an exact match in my daughter's case and she found it when she found you, you, if I met you, before I passed, I would have approved automatically, she deserves a chance at happiness and you're it. You're the true marital heir to the properties that I'm leaving to my daughter and with that son, you're the legal executor of the family fortune and house now."

" You and Eleanor are the executors of every family property that is owned by the Craine family my dear, and if Hill House is safe now, work at taking care of it, I leave that property to you along with our entire family fortune. Which comes to forty five billion dollars in textile models and seven hundred million in gold and jewelry, while everything in the stocks and bonds comes to three hundred trillion, my darling Eleanor, it's time to finish what you started."

"You became me and my great grandmother by taking on the mantle my dear and with that, if he escapes whatever purgatory or hell you put him in, it's time to finish the job and destroy his soul forever. Whatever clues you gathered when visiting the house, you're correct, it happened in exactly the way you described it to your friends and husband. As to how I know that, my mother, your grandmother, told me the entire story my baby, when I was a few years younger than you are now and I tried to do what you did and it did damage to me, that's why I was on the nitroglycerin all these years."

"Our family is descended from the Craine family and your great grandmother was the initial on the necklace you found, everything she is was duplicated into you, I was really preparing you to face off against him. He's haunted the house for years, if you finished what I started, it's time to return home again and you'll find the family fortune in the lower levels of the house and in the study he had with anything else you found in there."

"If you go to my lawyer you'll learn certain details here, but everything that you found out that week was supposed to play out the way it should and you and your husband connected during that trip as well, I approve of your mate if he's who I was really hoping you'd choose my darling, if your mate is David James, than you found who I was hoping you'd choose baby. I was really preparing you for what you found in your life and if you found it than, I know you're happy."

"David take care of my daughter and make her happy, you can start over and your friends can live close to each other, because this was also meant to help her find true happiness since her father passed. If you and the duo or quartet, or even sextet, have finished what I set out to do for her than you've fulfilled my wishes for her, what amount is with Wilson they too get a piece of it." she read out and then smiled as she looked at me then.

"Here's the added fine print now honey, you remember the debate I put into the movie when you wanted to hear everything that made me nearly quit then?" she asked and I nodded to that. "Well it's turnabout is fair play here, because this really is the fine print in the letter, here listen to this." she said and read out the rest of the will to me. "Whatever it says, I'm pretty sure she rescinded Lou's status as chief executor and I've replaced him as the family executor." I told her and she smiled and read it out.

"If one of my heirs passed the test, they were to continue the family traditions of helping people and continue making the family names as they were, a revered and renowned family name and they gained everything the names gave them: that includes everything in my insurance plans for said heir who passed the test, the amounts in both savings bond boxes and everything together in amounts that are owned by my husband and I have, together, in finances."

"But if one heir had passed the test and the other flunked it and had one of my heirs only saw the previous will as a way to further their greed, and started helping their mate destroy the lives of everyone of the lower bracket, and liquidated everything I left to the heir who passed it, than this will initiates a new test to that heir and it's that it switches the roles that the heirs had."

"While the heir that passed the test that the first will gave, she gets everything and has the rights to reverse the situation completely that put the said heir in the condition and had the life, before she met her mate and whatever friends she made, as she's now allowed and is activating a new integrity test and this admission is turned on the heir that took everything that the first will iniated."

"Regarding that admission and as of now the legal and marital heirs to the family names have the right to liquidate any and all personal property of the heir as he shall see fit till their testing time is completed. My legal and marital heirs in the letter and will are Eleanor Caroline Vance and David James Marrow. As they passed the tests the first will set they are now my new legal executors of the family fortune and properties and have the right to make decisions."

"My son-in-law, David James as the family executor you have the right to make decisions to the entire family fortune, and had you also decided on this decision than I hereby give you permission to do so my dear. You are the exact match to my daughter, and this decision was a new form of therapy and learning experience for my disappointment in my oldest heir and her husband."

"As to that, if you've chosen the same as I have here where the next integrity test is concerned now than activate it, you remember the key words of the first will, use that as your case study and do what should be done. Jane Emily and Louis are to have the exact same treatment they've treated my daughter with, so with that activate this portion of the will now along with the added piece."

"Because had they focused on what the first will said in what was admissible to them, they wouldn't be facing my wrath now, though I'm gone now. This was the secret nobody but my friends and loved ones knew. But here's the catch, that first will was really a test as David and Jack told you, but what it leads to is for the heir who flunked, if they took advantage of the fact that the bearer was dead and everything the fake will said in it, is that it leads to a new form of restriction and probation from beyond the grave."

"My disappointment in the heir who flunked my test is that my decision is they're now suffering a new form of punishment for their treatment of the heir who passed it. As you're the executor you get to exact the punishment on them and it's that it's now a total role reversal, think of this as that Dan Akroyd movie in which they switched places for a few months."

"Well this is going to be just like that, but you're going to have it directed from Concord, and everyone who was in league with us is getting involved in it. Sweetheart as the executor treat this in the same way here that they did, no matter the argument the decision stays the same. It's time for them to take a dose of their own medicine, if they took everything away from my baby."

"Sweethearts if you've gotten and spoken to Judge Hawthorne than he's already agreed to activate this will and it's to be probated a month to six weeks before you choose to return to Concord' the keys and everything belongs to the March/Craine/Vance family is in the boxes that we left for you baby."she read out and smiled as I answered that, as I remembered the lesson I was teaching Jane.

"Well this is going to give them a shock when they find out here, and as to why, I'm evidently what Rebecca was hoping for in your case of chosen mates now. That trip changed our lives forever and it looks like this is going to change them further, with the fact we got the money now to change our lives, let's see how they like being treated like trash, because he's a lawyer." I said and she smiled as she answered me.

"Well her problem is that they got and had a baby out of wedlock, before they got married, to our parents generation that's enough to get disowned by the entire family, but what makes it worse is he acts like the family on the book J.K. Rowling made, while I wound up with everything that made the maternal/paternal families what they are." she said and I smiled as I pulled her into a hug as she burrowed into my arms.

"Mom what's this mean exactly, if you put that in the will, and were you listening to our entire conversations?" she asked and a gentle message wrote itself down to her. "What that means is that she thought she could get away with this by taking away the home I left to you, that basically cemented her fate by a total role reversal. You're the real legal executor David, you have the right to dispose of any and all personal property as you shall see fit. But for her it's a five year probationary period now, you can confiscate everything they have for the next five years."

"As they learn to appreciate what others don't have and living in lower middle class life, while she sees what it's like to her life put on hold by taking care of a woman with my medical condition and to answer your second question baby, yes I heard the entire conversation and I've never been more disgusted or disappointed in your sister in my life, or, in this case, my afterlife."

"You turned into who I hoped you would dear, but your sister is severe disappointment to your father and me. Had this really been the Harry Potter Series, your roles are the Evans daughters and while you inherited everything that makes up the family name, your sister married into a family, I'd rather blast to smithereens, if I was pyrotechnic, than be in-laws with."

"If your parents are still alive honey, I'd gladly be in-laws with them and I see you as a son, baby. To put this gently had they been the ones in a role reversal, if their characters had been killed, you'd have raised their child how exactly?" she asked and I answered that. "I'd have treated the kid like my own son and raised him in my way of thinking, and that is that violence isn't always the answer, family comes first and most of all treat others as they'd treat you."

"Had I been James I'd treat the boy like my own and raise my sons in a mixture of both worlds, and raised him as my own, but altogether, the paternal relatives were going to be restrained from him to keep them from poisoning the boy's mind further and raise them in my way of life, because the rest of that crap is complete discrimination." I said and the answer was a gentle caring tone as she read it.

"You're my choice in son-in-laws and if I was alive when you had my grandchildren, I'd be a very happy grandmother. So with that in mind, you're my choice in the right mate for my daughter. A perfect match and your children are going to be just as gifted as my daughter, but you're the ones I favor here and with that, it's time they got a taste of their own medicine."

"No matter what they say, the decision stays the same here. Baby throw the entire argument in her face as she sees things from your perspective as you rub their noses in the fact they shot themselves in the foot. So with that you turn things in a total role reversal and it's going to be a Trading Places experiment, and this is my Nobel prize medal as well too honey, so go ahead." she read out and I nodded to that as I looked at Eleanor with a smile.

"Is this what you sounded like, before the condition started getting worse Rebecca, if she idolizes you?" I asked and a second message wrote itself out, with a slight chuckle in the tone. "Yes dear, this is me when Rob was still alive and I'd been on my job, everything about my personality got replicated into my daughter at the time. What you saw in her was thanks to eleven years worth of pain, because of the addison's syndrome, diabetes and my heart attack, she hated seeing me like that and them treating her like this and wanted me back to normal at the time."

"With my training and her able to see me though I'm talking to her like this, it's helping with communication now and you see in her what I was like, but... Rob now isn't the time for this." She read out as I looked up at that as the tv turned itself on and landed on the Scifi channel to the tv show and I started laughing at that. "Here we go again, look if you're sticking around the room, start toying with the tv to start scaring them, the movie's been put on HBO in the last month, since I'm just going to drag her fight over this out at her." I told her and I heard a smile in her tone at that.

"You got the premium cable channels if you're saying that?" She asked and I nodded. " Yes, with both incomes together we got enough to get every movie channel and they recently, since the movie finished its five month run at the movie theater, on to video and DVD and put it on cable. So we're seeing for ourselves what happened at the time. Though if we got the kids coming in here next there's a kids channel loaded with looney tunes and normal kid shows." I said and she went back to it.

"Anyway, she's healing but she still needs the final piece to her training, that was her first raid now. With you and the quartet in her life she's able to return to her original self again finally and be what you see in her now. In fact had I met you before I died, I'd see you as my son and Rob and I, without even needing to meet you, handpicked you out ourselves, you're everything we wanted for her." she read out and I smiled at that as I answered her at that.

"I can't wait to see the look on her face when she hears that you approve of me and the quartet. What I will ask though is what was the fight over the tv about last year exactly, because Benson and Jefferson found it pretty funny?" I asked and a fourth message wrote itself out at that with an amused tone, but the voice had a male tone to it as I read it out. "I love science fiction and Becky likes romantic comedies where the supernatural is concerned, so when I found that show I wanted to watch that."

"But she wanted to watch her favorite tv show and it started a fight over the TV set at the time, till Jared said just do a compromise till I landed on that channel and saw that ghostbusters was just starting and we decided on that." I read out and nodded as she smiled at the tone and answered him. "Dad, I can't believe it, it's great to hear from you now, when did you get back, because I've missed you a lot." she said and his tone turned gentle with a paternal tone, as he answered her.

"I've been around this entire time baby, we just figured you needed to hear from her first, as you practiced at getting used to your ability again before I came to see you, your grandparents decided on getting involved as well. While Caroline is going to be helping out with things, but altogether you can see this as a way to stay in touch with us now, though the others can't see us, we can talk to them like this, while you can see and talk to us."

"To put this gently it's like the character that Winona Ryder played in Beetlejuice, and the kid in the six sense, you can see and speak to the afterlife, while others who don't have that sixth sense can just talk to us like this. Your mother decided on training you further in your recovery while you were healing and with the fact that though we're not around physically you can still communicate to us this way now."

"The added effect to the Vance clan was a strong sense of the supernatural as well baby, as to that, the reason we considered you our favorite here is because you're just like us, you have the abilities that make up both sides of the family and the know of how to use it wisely, because you've trained to use it like you have been over the years and that's the first rule to personal gain here."

"Use of the abilities, if used inappropriately, are going to backfire and it gets out of control when that happens and it's like that in every magical religion and cult you can think of, but here's your first lesson. Most people that decide to take advantage of it result in turning into the lunatics and fanatics you see in the movies, the Nazis, the cult in 'The Temple Of Doom' in Indiana Jones, the Sith, and the Death Eaters in the Harry Potter series, because they have no compunctions of right or wrong and the powerlust and greed go to their heads."

"Your sister was getting jealous, because she didn't understand why I acted like I was with you, let alone why your mother decided on getting you set up in the classes you were taking, because she grew up a skeptic, she sees magic and the paranormal as a crock, because she never grew up with superhuman abilities. Had she had your powers she'd be acting like these lunatics, take advantage of it and start going for destroying the lives of every person of the lower bracket than she's on and that's why I'm so disgusted with her behavior."

"To answer the question of why you somehow knew what was going on when Luke got knocked unconscious it's because your definition to the situation, just before you found the painting, was exactly what you described. He's a lunatic with a deranged sense of irony here, in order to keep him busy he was turning this into a game of hide and seek and while he was looking for you, that gave the duo time to get undercover, before the stand off got started in the foyer."

"As to that, he tries this twice and my recommendation is stay out spots he's likely to boobytrap, keep moving, because with eight to twelve in the house, he can't be everywhere at once and three stay calm okay. Your mother took it like this, but the poor idiot wound up losing his cool three times in five years, when the situation resulted in areas like Akroyd's reaction to Slimer, let alone the Marshmallow Man, but that's what happens when you don't stay cool under pressure, and while Spengler and Venkman had their heads on straight, as did Zeddmore, he just makes the situation worse."

"And with that fact in mind, in order to prevent a panic attack or worse, stay cool and relax, your mother and I, as well as your grandparents and Caroline are going to give a few details, but one by one in the medical team is getting told the truth, so we don't have people thinking this is just a symptom of schizophrenia to, by making our presences known by writing out messages like this. As for your sister this is her first indication that we've been around this entire time and we're beyond furious with her for this."

"Your description of how our and your grandmother's generations would see her choices are right, had this been in our timelines, it would get her effectively disowned for a birth out of wedlock, disobedience in refusal to heed the wishes of the parents, disregard of a relatives wellbeing, getting greedy while doing it and finally marrying a man who is, in our opinion, a man we'd rather wipe out the entire family than be in-laws with at the time."

"Titanic is a classic example of that, that's not the type of man I'd want for my son-In-law, with her father dead, and I'm sure he was like me, but the girl found a man just like her father, the boy is freelance traveling artist, of the bracket three ranks below the Social elite class, and with that, you basically found who you were looking for when David came into your life, because he, Luke and Todd are all three sides of me you remember honey." I read out and she smiled and we nodded as we looked at each other at that.

"With the fact we just humiliated her on the big screen is one thing and now we're going to step two of that humiliation here and that is reversing her entire argument on her and they live our lives as they see what it's like to be treated this cruelly, by a relative? Let alone dealing with a bunch of fanatics and drunks and drug addicts in a psychiatric ward. Rebecca, how am I supposed to do my work if I'm out in Concord, because I'm Malcolm's best psychiatrist for this?" I asked and a third message was written down.

"Don't worry dear, I've got all the bases covered, Jefferson and the heads of the hospital there have your credentials and they're going to meet you once you get settled at the house, but you can run your research through them and send it to Malcolm. The hospital has a psychiatry section in it, like the one in New York where you can work and you can continue things like that, and baby, the added section in it also has a thesis on paranormal activity and supernatural too."

"The building company Luke works for has a branch out in Concord as well, but every piece of your jobs the six of you have is right there in Concord, you're together and have my friends with you as you make a few friends on the job, as they get to know you, but to them you're a local town legend. Since you published your book for the town every adult who's read it is looking forward to having you return finally." she read out and I smiled at the news then.

"Nice touch, we don't have to completely change our lives, every piece of our lives we had here is getting moved to Concord, our jobs are the same, only difference is we got a shot to really make our dreams come true. Luke is a top rate architect and construction worker, and he's got a job waiting for him out there. So everything about our careers is out there in Concord, right Rebecca?" I asked and it wrote down a fourth. "Yes dear that's right, Theo, Luke and Todd have jobs waiting for them in Concord, everything about their jobs here is right there in Concord."

"There's plenty of room in the road fielding by the road leading up to the house for them to build their houses as he designs them to whatever specification they want, but they can live in the manor till the houses are ready, but altogether you can live your lives without Jane and her clique treating you like they have been. But that's my next lesson to her and Louis, it's going to be a five year fast of their current lives as they learn to appreciate and understand others who must go without it."

" I left a check for a hundred billion in the town budget the last ten months for Tom and each one left to your future jobs there is fifty million each, so town budgets are set up and you got a job ready and waiting when you get there. My recommendation is you set things to a few ground rules in the house, when you got six to eight and up to ten more people in the house with you."

"To answer the unasked question, the repair work is an even 10 million exactly, everything Luke needs to repair the house is at a storage locker in town, so my recommendation is its best if he uses a moving truck so he's able to bring it to the house. Honey your added abilities can help him as well, and you'll see what I mean as you control two of them, because they're along the lines of what they put in the Starwars and X-Men series and you'll see what I mean later."

"At the moment, with things like they are between you and your sister and Louis, make it clear, he tries anything, before the trial and his probation is thrown out the store and he's spending five years in the hospital as an in the prison guard sentence in the rehab department till he's clean completely. Our decision is final where this is concerned, nothing they say changes the sentence. David as the executor, you have the right to dispose of any and all personal property as you see fit, exact words in the first will now."

"To our line of judgement having the words turned on them is revenge best served cold and turnabout is fair play now, because this is a fight without the blows exchanged and is, in our way, saying that she's been effectively disowned in the family, she's not a Craine or Vance and it's time she deserves the proper punishment for her attitude and behavior and she's married."

"So to us she's no longer a member of the Craine/Vance clan, but a member of the Webster family, therefore she's not family anymore. You are, you're everything we'd approve us where Eleanor is concerned, as are your friends, they're part of our family, our surrogate children. So all of you belong and have rights to the house and can run things together."she read out and I nodded to that with a dangerous smile on my face as we exchanged grins then

"Alright so first a repair job on the house than, after move in completely, several modifications on the house, that's great, it started at Hill House, it's time to return to it, our family lives there and Luke and Theo, as well as Todd and Mary can come visit us as much as they want now." I said and I gave her a hug as she tightened her arms around me. "You mind about returning to the house, it was scary enough then, but I don't doubt, that now that we exorcised the ghosts out of it that it's just going to be slightly creepy after what we dealt with it." she asked and I smiled as I answered her.

"Had I never made that choice I never would have met you, so no I don't mind, we can see the quartet as much as possible and it's our family retreat now, I can continue my studies as we go though the concept of fear and paranormal studies and this just took on a new meaning with what we dealt with back then. So how much did Rebecca leave you exactly, in this box let alone with what she left with Wilson?" I asked she smiled.

"Seventy million in jewelry, two hundred billion in gold and silver and five hundred billion in cash and stocks and bonds, that's enough to repair the house and get a nest egg set up for our children, but after 97 years, the revenues have gone from millions and billions and going into trillions now with the silver and gold. Though if I'm right everything I took class wise is meant to get us through the tests to the vaults unscathed."

"This is the amount she kept squared away from Jane and her family, because they were getting greedy, while he's a lawyer and she turned into a cheating trickster, I got the lions share of everything my mother is in personality and I wound up dealing with a prophecy she had hidden from me when you came into my life at the time, in fact, had we not met, I never would have found that will or changed into who I am now." she said smiling and I nodded with a gentle smile as I pulled her into a hug.
