Candyman - K.T.H

2

"Koko!" A voice called out as I waited for the bus.

It was my best friend and research partner, Chaeyeon.

"You're late, what if you missed this bus?!" I said exasperated. She smiled nervously.

"Sorry, I had to charge my phone more. We need more documentation for the project, and the scene will give us that." She explained as the bus pulled up.

Chaeyeon was born here in Daegu, but I'm from Osaka, all the way in Japan. My parents moved here when I was 7.

"I can't wait to see what kind of evidence we get, this is gonna be cool!" She squealed.

The apartment complex was a nice one near a forest. We got off of the bus and headed upstairs.

As we walked down the hallway, Chaeyeon was talking about him.

"Apparently the Candyman once lived in this building, prowling the halls to kill innocent people." She teased.

I shoved it off, rolling my eyes. "Ok that's ridiculous, where did you hear that?"

She giggled. "Wikipedia."

As she went to open the door, someone banged on the wall.

"Don't. Go. In. There." A deep voice warned.

We looked up to see a man in his late 20's, with pale skin and black hair.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"Don't disturb the sites of his sacrifices, or you'll be on his list." He said as he lit a cigarette, smoking it.

"And who are you?" Chaeyeon asked.

"Call me Suga. You ladies must be from across town. Here, we are all familiar with him and his crimes. We live in fear, honestly." He answered, continuing to smoke.

We were both confused.

"Why do you live in fear?" Chaeyeon asked nervously.

"You girls really don't know much about him do you?" He asked amusingly.

"I'm never going here, but if you two wanna risk it, here." He handed us a map of the nearby forest.

"Where does this go?" I asked curiously.

"His mansion is abandoned in the nearby forest. Maybe it'll give you some clues."

We thanked him, but as we got up, he spoke to us.

"Girls, before you go, remember one thing."

"What?" I asked.

"Be careful of what you say."

---

Trudging through the forest, we found our way to an opening, where just past lay a beautiful mansion.

"Woah, it's so... Big." Chaeyeon gaped at the building. It was old and abandoned, yet still seemed so elegant.

We walked up to the large doors, pushing them open to reveal a large hall.

Walking inside, I took a picture...

But the doors shut behind us.

"What was that?" Chaeyeon asked scared.

"The doors probably just closed on their own by accident. Come on, let's explore." I said.
