(Based on American Horror Story Double Feature from 2021)

"I'll finally get my work done. All I need is some space and we'll head right back home." Harry Gardner carried a crossover bag which had his laptop and admired the old house.

"I don't like it here." Their young daughter said fiddling with her violin which was still in it's case.

Doris smiled at her and assured her everything would be okay. "Don't think too much about it, we'll get used to this place."

I placed a box full of their belongings by the couch and looked around. Most of the houses here seem old and poorly decorated, the whole place is gloomy and cold. But, Provincetown seems to be like this always especially during the winter season.

"Do you want me to take these upstairs to your room?" I asked Doris.

"Yes, please."

Doris smiled and Harry kept checking around the house while Alma has a frown on her face and went over to her room. I lifted the luggage she brought along with Harry's and began to walk upstairs to their room and began to unpack her belongings and placed them in their spot

I started working for them for a while now, since Harry and Doris were constantly busy with work, I started to look after Alma while they were away. The girl wouldn't stop saying how bad she is at violin whenever she would miss a single note.

At first I went to L.A to become an actress or a singer, but I knew I wasn't good enough so I gave those dreams up and focused on doing whatever I could do best.

"Thank you in helping me out, (Y/N)" Doris came walking in with her grown belly.

"Oh, it's nothing. You can't be working hard or you'll harm the baby. Want me to head over to the grocery store?"

Doris smiled and rested her hand on my shoulder. "What would we do without you." She chuckled.

I promised her to be back quickly and took Harry out with me. "You sure you aren't feeling so cold? I could buy you a warmer coat." Harry and I walked side by side.

I chuckled and shook my head. "There's no need for you to spend any more money." I wasn't feeling so cold unlike Harry who had his hands inside his pockets.

"This town looks almost abandoned." Harry joked when we started passing some houses and streets and saw no one. Some of the houses had some glowing red light.

"Haha it really does feel abandoned." I joked but felt uneasy. Like we're being watched...

We both entered the grocery store when we found it and Harry began walking around with the cart. I began grabbing some pasta, sauce and needed meat to make some meatballs. I rounded the corner and saw the cart filled with a box of cereal, juice, and other things he needed.

"How does spaghetti sound for tonight?" I suggest placing the meat down.

"Sounds perfect. We really enjoy your cooking." Harry smiled at me. Harry and I share a sibling like relationship, he was the first nice guy I met when I had nowhere else to go.

"Let's hurry up before Doris calls-" we rounded the corner and stared at a dirty, sick woman with pale messy hair.

"Get the fuck out of here fucker!" She angrily looked at Harry and turned her eyes to see me. I took a step back when she pointed at me.

"What are you doing here?..You fucking bitch! you can bet your sorry ass that you'll get killed this time."

"Alright, Karen! Go scream at a tree of the bay." The stores owner appeared.

Harry and I exchanged looks when Karen continued insulting us and left. "Sorry about her." I followed Harry and didn't hear their conversation. I was deep in my thoughts so I slowly glanced back and saw TB Karen looking at us through the window.

"If there's anything you need feel free to come on over." Mikey smiled at us both and we were out if the store. Harry carried most of the bags and looked at me concerned.

"You okay? Ignore the crude words that woman used. Do you know her?" He asked when he slowed down so I could catch up with him.

"I don't...she must've confused me with someone else." I lied.

Harry nodded his head but didn't ask anymore questions. I felt like we were being watched. I slowed down again and felt someone nearby, I looked back and from afar I could see one of the pale creatures, looking at me. I quickly turned away and began running back to Harry.

***********

I felt like I was being constantly watched. "(Y/N)?" I let out a shriek and held onto my chest when I saw that it was just Doris next to me. "You've been jumpy lately, what's the matter?"

"Nothing! I've just been feeling a bit sick."

"Well, make sure it isn't Lyme or we'll have to take care of you." She joked at the last part and turned around so I could look at her.

"What do you think?" She asked like looking at her choice of clothes.

"Beautiful as always. It's been a while since you and Harry gone out for dinner-"

Before I could finish Doris held onto her stomach and ran over to the bathroom and began to throw up. Harry quickly entered the room and went over to her.

"(Y/N), can you check up on Alma?" Doris called out, so I started to go into Alma's room and saw her reading a book next to the nightlight by her bed.

"Hey, kiddo. How are you feeling?" I ask sitting next to her and running my hands down her long hair.

"A bit scared."

I hummed and nodded. Last night she said someone one was outside of her window, I woke and ran over to her room with a bat and almost hit Harry when I thought he was an intruder. I hadn't been able to sleep so I was getting a bit paranoid.

"As long as we're in here, we won't get hurt. Now, what would you like to eat?"

"Mac and cheese."I chuckle and began messing her hair. "Nice choice, I'll be right back with it."

I stood back up and made sure her window was locked up and closed the curtains so she wouldn't feel afraid. I headed back downstairs to the kitchen and began to boil water.

"We're going out." Harry walked past me and started to fill up a glass with water.

"Going out? Where?"

"Doris is feeling sick and can't go the restaurant, I already made reservations, so we're going."

I blushed and began to shake my head. "People will think we're together, no way this was your and Doris's night."

"(Y/N), don't make me pull you out myself." I could hear Doris from upstairs. Harry chuckled at her words and shrugged his shoulders.

"Just make sure to not steal my husband." She continued to joke.

"Don't worry, I'll bring him home safe." I shout back. We both laugh and he began to grab his coat.

"Just give me a few minutes. Alma, is waiting for her dinner." Harry gave me a thumbs up and patiently waited for me.

************

"This place seems nice." Harry lowly said when the people who were on stage continued to sing. I hid my face with my hand and looked away from the stage.

An elegant woman with silver hair continued to sing along with a young guy dressed entirely in black. Thought I hated to admit, their singing was good.

"If you say so, this place is a dump and so are some of its residents." I bitterly said.

The waiter came by and placed two drinks in front of us. "We didn't order any." Harry quickly told him.

"They did, it's on the house."

I glanced over and thanked God that the singing was over. "Let's go over there and thank them." Harry whispered to me when he grabbed his own drink and stood up.

"No." I slumped down on my seat. Harry grabbed my wrist and made me stand up and follow him.

"What's gotten into you lately?"

"I hate strangers!" I lied and tried to run off but couldn't.

"I'm Harry Gardener and this is (Y/N)." Harry smiled and took a seat when the couple offered us to sit.

Harry nervously laughed and pulled me down to sit next to him. The woman smiled. "People might know me as Belle Noir and he is Austin Sommers."

As soon as said that Harry began to fanboy. He's looked up to them both, successful authors who've won many awards.

"Can you believe it, (Y/N). Guess coming here tonight wasn't a terrible idea."

"She's never been a fan of writers." Austin said, his dark eyes not leaving my sight.

"Oh, I like them but there is one I've never liked. I find his writing too repetitive and boring for my tastes." I bitterly said back and we both glare at each other.

"Now now children there's no need to fight." Belle made it sound like she was joking but she really wasn't. I know it.

Harry and them began to talk about things. All I did was stay silent and glare at Austin.

"Maybe you should stop by at my place sometime. (Y/N), knows the way there." Austin smirked.

"Maybe we will. It was nice to meet you both." I groaned and stood up. I quickly walked out of The Muse and waited for Harry who wouldn't stop smiling.

I grew annoyed and slapped his chest. "Quit smiling you look weird."

"How can I? You never mentioned me you knew Austin Sommers?!"

I rolled my eyes and frowned. "Never thought you'd be so interested. Fine want to know the truth? I used to live here a long time ago and that's how I met him. We even dated a while back."

Harry looked at me surprised. "You kinds blew it there, (Y/N). What made you want to leave him?"

We continue to walk side by side down the dark streets. I sigh and remember the many emotions I felt before I left here. "He pressured me into doing something I didn't want to." I mutter and stared down at the ground while we made it back home.
