You see the flash of white again.

When you turn to follow it, half way up the towering staircase, you see a creature. It's fur is white, shimmering, drifting in and out like fog. You can feel a chill in the air. It's yellow eyes stare at you, unblinking, before it takes a step and its gone.



In the wake of the mysterious creature, you hear the faint sound of crying from somewhere deeper into the mansion.

Sign up for Hazel!

It was supposed to be a simple delivery errand. Just go deliver the pumpkins, try not to stick foot in mouth while dealing with customers, and return home. After all, their pumpkin for this year's pumpkin chuckin' competition was almost ready! She needed to ensure it was tucked in, getting only the best music played to it, and was suitably cozy. Instead... somehow along the way back to her car things had gone sideways. She was lost. That had never happened to her before. Sure she could be a ditz sometimes but losing her way back to the car? That would be a bit much even for her! And yet... here she was.

Wait, how did she end up in the woods anyways? What was her Ma's old saying? Had she zigged instead of zagged? Either way she did not know this area... and it smelled like- yep there it was. Rain. Cruuuud. Her parents would KILL her if she caught a cold out here! But where could she go? As she debated this she paused, seeing the white and yellow. Well that was creepy. And yet what choices did she have? The woods were going to be a LOT less hospitable in the rain. And if she did catch a cold she would miss the whole festival!

With this reasoning, Hazel followed into the Estate. She found herself pausing as the creature stared at her, managing an awkward wave. "Oh uh hey, thanks for showing me shel...ter..." She trailed off awkwardly as they were gone again, exhaling out a sigh. "Ya gotta quit vanishin' like that, you're gonna give someone the heebie jeebies and-" Her ears twitched then, hearing crying sounds deeper in. Instinct told her don't dare go in further, but empathy tugged harder and she walked closer towards the crying sounds.

"Hey... I don't know who ya are but ya ain't alone okay? Would it... would it help to talk to someone? I mean, sorry for bargin' in but... might as well lend a helpful ear while I'm here eh? Or a hand or... whatever you need!" (350)

It is all strange. It feels like he's stuck in a vivid dream without an apparent way to wake up. But staying outside in the forest alone under the rain won't do him any good. Going in this manor is the only thing that can keep him warm for now, but is this place doing in the middle of nowhere? It's even stranger than suddenly getting lost in the forest with no recollection of getting there. Is someone playing tricks on him? Did they want him to be here for whatever may the reason be?

Shava deliberately pushes forward when the door finally opens on its own, his paws dripping from the heavy downpour into the manor's floor. He had no mind of what was coming, but the figure that welcomed him made his paws stop in their tracks. Was it, someone? He could have sworn he saw a pair of glinting yellow eyes staring at the very soul of his. Doesn't matter now, his chilled body covered with soaked fur is distracting him at best. He shook the water off his body, didn't mind getting the manor dirty from his presence. Nobody greets him after all, or maybe they are hiding? Maybe they aren't even corporeal?

After exploring the manor for a while, he caught a glimpse of the figure that had welcomed him to this manor before. The same yellow glints for eyes match what he remembers, observing his every movement without breaking a gaze. Shava stops dead in his place, the chill down his spine sending goosebumps all over his body. He wonders what the figure wants from him, could it be the one that brought him to this strange place?

"W-wait!" Shava shouts, watching as the figure dissipates into thin air once more. It's as if the figure is never there, physically. Could that figure be a ghost? From what this manor looks like, it could be haunted. He shrinks to the ground, his front paws shifts in uncomfort acknowledging he is quiet alone in this building. Or is he?

The sudden cry deep inside the mansion broke him out of his thoughts. He slowly throws his gaze, then his head trying to seek the source of noise without making one himself. His body becomes tense, ears perk around before braving a step closer. Hopefully, it's not anything harmful to him. "I hope so..."
