Ombra acknowledges the apparition with an cautious tilt of her head,
but otherwise heads immediately towards the sound of crying.

>> A flash of white.

A cold shudder runs down Pip’s spine. He turns around, around again, and again. Nobody’s there. But he can feel them, feel their eyes on him, their laughing in his ears, their judging gazes.
He’s scared. It’s cold and the territory he’s in is unfamiliar.

Pip doesn’t know where he is, if this is just a dream or an actual reality. It certainly feels realistic enough but wouldn’t he have memories of his way? Of the path he took to get to this place, whatever or wherever it may be?

He turns around again. There.
Halfway up the mysterious staircase a creature stands. There’s a scary resemblance to it and Pip couldn’t quite fathom what it was that it reminded him of.

>>Its fur is white, shimmering, drifting in and out like fog.
Yellow eyes stare back into Pip’s blue ones. His eyes grow wide. Automatically he steps back, away from the weird creature, away from the staircase. The creature mirrors him - takes a step… it’s gone.
It just… disappeared into thin air.
Pip can’t breathe. He feels like stone, unable to move, unable to live.

>> A faint crying can be heard from inside the mansion. Deep within it's dark misty halls.
Kiri?
“Kiri!” he screams. “I’m coming!”
without further talk Pip runs into the direction the crying comes from. Not seeing the weird dark creatures that follow close behind.

Maybe it would have been better to stay outside in the pouring rain if it meant not having to feel a lingering sense of dread at all times, clinging tightly like static in the air. It... Wasn't comfortable, to say the least, especially to a kalon who'd never thought she'd be in such a situation, nor did she exactly want to be in such a predicament. It was kind of like entering a haunted house attraction during halloween, albeit this ghastly mansion was all too real.

Maede shuddered with every few steps she took, seeking comfort she knew she would very likely not be able to find. With her fur standing on end, she had tried to find an area of the mansion where she could at least settle down and try to get some rest. Maybe it wouldn't seem so intimidating in broad daylight - but she was all too aware that it was going to be a long night, the kind that feels endless, the kind of restless night where trying to sleep does nothing to help pass time. Even then, Maede wasn't sure if she'd even be able to will herself to shut her eyes for even a few minutes. Who knew what lurked in the old manor's hallways -

...Like that silvery spirit she could have sworn she had seen just before she entered the mansion. Ghost? Lost soul? What else could she call it? With its golden eyes and frost-white fur, she couldn't think of any living animal that matched the description of the creature that had been lurking. Maybe it could have been an elaborate hoax? If it was, Maede would've tried to get to the bottom of the mystery by trying to follow the trickster up the staircase... But not even the most experienced prankster could pull off such a prank that would cause the entity to dissapear right in front of her eyes. Nearly stumbling in her shock, Maede grabbed onto the staircase's railing to stop her from falling, pausing to clean her glasses when she had stabilized herself. Whatever she saw definitely wasn't just a smudge on her lenses.

And unfortunately for her, she wouldn't have a moment to step back and relax from her encounter before she heard something off in the distance. Was that somebody crying?

"No, no, no-" Maede mumbled worriedly under her breath, almost not knowing what to do at that point. She was hoping perhaps she had just been hearing the floors creak, but to no avail; someone, or perhaps something, was sobbing somewhere. What if it was whatever she'd just seen? Could there of been another living soul in here that had gotten as lost as Maede had? Were they afraid, or hurt? Despite the creeping sensation of fear sending wave after wave of chills up and down her spine, she knew she had to search for the source of the crying, racing off in what she presumed was the right direction, all the while hoping she too would not lose her way while navigating. She had to see if she could lend a paw to help, even if it meant she would get trapped in here.

Why am I here? I can't recall. I have the strangest feeling, almost like,
I signed up for this...

Part 1

The draft in the house really drove home the point that Altair's clothes were soaked. The long sleeves of his tunic pulled at his shoulders, velvet and water didn't mix well. He was beginning to shiver slightly, his long hair completely soaked and still dripping down his back. The rain had seemingly come out of nowhere, clouds closing in over his head like a scene in a horror movie. Which, considering the figure he kept catching at the corners of his vision, might not be an empty simile.

"What a drag." Altair sighed heavily, rubbing at his eyes. He didn't need to consult his cards to know that he was in heaps of trouble. What a cliche, the carnival psychic in a haunted house. He absently wondered if the troupe had even noticed that he wasn't manning his booth anymore.

"Well ghostie, do you want me to tell your fortune? Might be arriving a little late." He muttered.

Abruptly, the ghost appeared center stage, as if by que. At the top of the massive staircase it looked down on him with gilded eyes.

Altair blanched. "Ahhhh, I didn't mean to-"

But just as quickly as they arrived, the ghost faded. Altair regretted his earlier glibness immediately, now struck with undeniable reality.

"Oh gods," He murmured, dumbstruck, "It really is a ghost."

Then the walls started crying.

A shiver goes up her spine.

It was just supposed to be a hike. You were only supposed to be gone for an hour, maybe two. What happened?

She can't remember how she ended up here. Soaked from the rainwater, in the middle of the woods, totally lost. Did she make a wrong turn somewhere..? She swears she knows that trail like the back of her hand.

Her ears perk. The forest lets out into a clearing, and there's... A house? No, that's more than a house. That's a whole estate. She can see the land sprawling out around it. She gulps. It's so... intimidating.

Well, anything's better than staying out in this rain.

She rushes to the door. At the very least, the stoop is covered. She has a feeling that whoever lives here wouldn't be enthused about her loitering on their front porch, though. She goes to knock, but the door swings open as soon as her paw hits it. Not exactly the most secure.

She steps inside, calling out to see if anyone's around, but based on the state of disrepair it's in... She highly doubts it. She takes a second to start drying off, pulling her pack off her shoulders to make sure her supplies weren't totally ruined by the rain. Oh man. At least you've still got snacks, right?

Then she spies it.

No doubt about it, there's something there, on the staircase. Some kind of animal, or... Something else. She's not sure she wants to find out. Oh man.

A second later it's gone. Her ears perk again. Is that... Is someone crying?

Oh man oh man oh man.

"Hello?"

No answer. Nothing.

Oh man oh man oh man.

She starts to head further in. It gets darker and darker as she strays from the open door, so she grabs a flashlight out of her bag. It clicks on, dimly illuminating her surroundings.

She guesses this is going to be a long night.

Amber slowly padded down the eerie halls, the flash of white stunning her as she continued to follow it to the staircase. She stared at the creature that appeared before her before it disappeared, leaving the stairs exactly as they were. Just then, thunder shook the old house, she jumped.

Amber usually wasn't afraid of thunder, in fact, she quite liked to stand under a dry covering during storms and watch. There was something different tonight however. The being that appeared before her made her feel uneasy. It's white fur and almost ghostly form was beautiful, she thought to herself. Those eyes however, there was some mystery behind them. A feeling of curiosity took over her, she wanted to know more.

The cool air brushed against her fur and she began to walk through the halls, the sounds of the downpour echoing against the old walls. Amber's mind began to race with thoughts and theories, all those mystery and horror books she had read didn't help ease her nerves. She loved the supernatural but had never thought she would be in a position to come straight out of the books she read ever so often. "Are you there?" she whispered.

Just then she heard it. The sounds of someone crying. Amber's heart began to race, she tried to think of what to do but her mind was drawing a blank. Frozen in fear she hollered, the light from her flashlight flickering. The crying continued.

She adjusted to the new sounds and calmed down, still scared out of her mind, but able to form coherent thoughts once again. She thought back to all the horror books, anytime there was crying sounds, it never ended well. The storm raged on. Even if she wanted to leave she couldn't, she was lost in a maze of twisting halls and stairwells.
