I do not own House of 1000 Corpses. I only own Raven, Will, Janine, and Ricky.

Story start

Foggy streets surrounded a black mustang filed with four people. Loud 80's rock music blasted from the car speakers. A woman with bleached blonde hair, brown eyes, bright pink makeup, and very revealing clothes sat in the front passenger seat. She had on leopard stilettos, a black leather mini skirt, and a pink halter-top. She was dancing to the music blasting in the car.

The driver had dark blue eyes, short black hair, a beer gut, and a five o'clock shadow on his jaw. He was wearing dirty sneakers, a dirty ACDC t-shirt, and wrangler jeans. His bloodshot eyes glared at the road before him. "We need gas and food," he grumbled out.

"There is a shop up ahead," a twenty-year-old boy said from the backseat. He had spiky black hair, brown eyes, and he was 6'1". He wore baggy jeans, a football jersey, and some basketball sneakers.

"Yeah, I see it Ricky," the driver said to his son.

"Will, honey, do we have to let her out?" the woman named Janine whined. The only pale and quiet form in the car gave a small shudder.

The pale form was wearing a large black hoodie with the hood up. The figure also wore some old boy shorts that were most likely handed down from Ricky. Dark blue eyes peered out angrily from the black hood. The small figure stood at only 5'4". A long scar ran from the top of her left eyebrow down to the middle of her left cheek over her left eye.

"Dad, I think we should just leave the freak in the car," Ricky said loudly and glared at the pale form. The pale figure glared at Ricky as the car pulled into a gas station that had clowns and a murder ride.

"These three should ride that ride," the pale figure thought as she unlocked the door and ran out of the car before she was tied up again.

"Get back here," Ricky and Will, yelled as they got out of the car. Janine got out of the car with a scowl on her face.

"Annoying freak," Janine said before staring at her nails while walking towards the shop.

The pale figure ran into the shop and saw a man wearing a dirty t-shirt and greasy clown makeup. The clown gave the pale figure a confused look before scowling at the two men that ran into the shop.

"Get back in the car," Will growled as he grabbed the pale figure's wrist, which had fresh wounds, which Ricky had caused ten minutes earlier in the car.

"The pale figure gave a small cry of pain, which sounded very feminine. The clown paused behind the counter before asking, "So how can I help you city folk?"

Will and Ricky gave the pale girl a quick glare before looking at the clown. Will shoved the girl away from him and she stumbled. The girl regained her balance before she could crash into one of the many strange exhibits in the shop. The clown gave the girl a brief glance before giving a fake smile to Will and Ricky.

"We need to pay for gas and is that chicken your sign was advertising any good?" Will grumbled as he motioned for Ricky to get the girl out of the shop. Ricky walked stonily towards the pale girl with a menacing look in his eyes.

"My chicken is the best in all of Ruggsville," the clown said with pride in every word.

"Will hurry up, I want to get to California soon," Janine whined as she entered the shop. Her whining stopped when she saw the clown behind the counter. "What the hell," she whispered before walking over to her husband.

A small growl sounded from the corner of the shop. Ricky had the pale girl cornered and she was glaring at him with the promise of pain in her eyes. Ricky went to grab the girl and she dodged his hand and ran underneath his arm to get away.

"Get back here freak," Ricky yelled as he chased after the girl around the shop.

The clown behind the cashier narrowed his eyes and laid a gentle hand on the pale girl's shoulder. He hid her behind him as he stood in front of Ricky.

"How about you three go ride my murder ride? I'll give you all a free ride, but I think we should let this young one stay out here. I think the ride might be too much for her," the clown known as Spaulding said with a big smile.

Curious yet alert eyes started at Spaulding's back as Ricky, Janine, and Will agreed to ride the ride. Spaulding turned toward the pale girl and said, "Now how about I get you some chicken to eat while you wait?"

The pale girl was silent and still for a moment before giving a small nod of her head. In truth, she was starving. Her so-called family had been starving her for two days so far. At the prospect of getting chicken, her stomach gave a loud growl. Spaulding let his grin widen before reaching under the counter to grab a bag of hot chicken wings.

The girl tentatively reached for the bag of chicken but it was pulled away from her reach. "Let me see hat face of yours and your name and then you'll get the chicken," Spaulding said.

"My name is Raven," a soft voice said as the pale girl slipped the hood off her head. Long wavy black hair fell around her face. Her dark blue eyes looked so empty. The scar over her left eye was in plain sight now that the hood was off.

Spaulding was silent for a moment before handing Raven the chicken and shaking her other hand. "Nice to meet ya Raven, now you go on and eat that chicken over there while I go give your family their free murder ride," Spaulding said.

"I wish you would just murder them instead of giving them a ride about murderers," Raven whispered and Spaulding heard her. He acted as if she said nothing and walked through the back door to the ride.

Raven walked outside and stared at the open road before looking back at the shop. Everything in her heart was telling her to run but her fatigued and wounded body was telling her to rest and eat the greasy chicken wings.

"Stupid body," she whispered before sitting beside the shop out of the lights. "Maybe if they don't see me in plain sight they will leave me here. They don't care for me anyways and I'm tired of being treated like this," Raven thought while eating the chicken.

Little time passed before Ricky's excited yelling sounded outside the shop. Raven tensed and wished that she had more time alone. Her wish went down the drain when Ricky ran over and grabbed the empty bag of chicken from her hands.

"Hey freak you missed something awesome, wait you weren't supposed to eat. That means you are going to be punished worse than you have been so far on this trip," Ricky taunted before grabbing Raven's wrist and dragging her toward the car.

"Honey let's just go, we don't have to see this Dr. Satan tree," Janine whined as Ricky threw Raven into the backseat. Raven's head slammed into the window and her vision blurred while Ricky sat in the seat beside her. Janine and Will sat in the front again. Janine was still trying to convince Will not to look for this strange tree.

"Oh come on let's just go look at it," Ricky complained before bashing Raven's head in the window again. Spots flashed before her eyes before she slumped down in the seat. The pain she was feeling now was just a tickle compared to what she normally was to live through.

"That clown gave me direction so we are heading there now," Will said annoyed at his wife and son.

Janine caught the hint to be quiet and passed out bags of chicken to Ricky and Will. Will gave a small grumble of thanks while Ricky kept quiet and started chowing down.
