This part is shorter, it's just a lead up chapter for the next but it's still as important for the plot..
Only 800-1,000 words but oh well I guess...

"Hello?" Her voice chimes in extreme excitement. Her lips curve upwards in a creepy smile as her pearly teeth are on display, shining just lightly in the dum room she's in.
"I heard you, don't be shy, I'll give you a tour" her voice is still as soothing as it was when she was humming along to that melody a few minutes ago.
After having no response, she tilted her head and began to look around, moving undeniably weighed down furniture aside as if it was nothing.
She'd be moving things like bookcases with a simple push, may I add that those worn down bookcases have stacks of thick books on too, only adding to the supposive weight.
"Hello?" She'd call out again, earning nothing in response yet again.
It seemed as if she was sad, as if she had no one to talk to and that has made you feel somewhat sorry.
Her head seemed to hang but her cheeks raised as if she was smiling a wicked smile. "I'm playing with you, I know where you are" she laughs as panic sets into your veins.
The sound of your heart beat is probably what gave you away, that or the fact that this woman could potentially have night vision. That's unlikely though, after all, she is only human..?
Her hooded eyes seem to glow through her eyelid, freaking you out as they point towards you.
"Why don't you come out?" This is honestly beginning to freak you out, some crazed woman in this type of house claiming to see in the dark or something along those lines. So many red flags have gone off that you're surprised you're not drawing in them.
You zone out, staring at the flooring, staring at your sweating hands that grip the wood beneath you. If you were to dare move a finger, your rings would scrape amongst the material.
Your mind goes to other thoughts, more logical ones at that. Though, there are those few that like to pop up and say "hi, I exist, love me" and those are the awful ones…
However, you are quickly snatched away from your speeding train of thoughts when something moves before your eyes.
She's gone.
She's not where she was before and instead, she's standing right before your eyes, staring into your soul from a few feet away.
She smiles gently "Hello?" Her hand sticks out and her slender fingers point towards your living body.
You sit, wide eyed, staring at the ghost-like woman. Though, now that you're close up you can see the very faint black veins that seem to seep through her chalk skin.
That and you can see how red her lips are, it's as if she's been… never mind…
Her smile fades a bit as she's been standing for a good half a minute or so with nothing.
"Excuse me?" Her voice grows bitter.
As your mind rebuilds itself, you let your first instinct rush over you, you wouldn't say it's the worst but it's also not the best.
You panic and run out of fear and utter confusion, completely knocking over the blank canvas you were once under in its shadows.
Though it may not have truly been the worst decision, it had definitely seemed that way as the woman you had just decided to run from is now cursing and following you.
Her footsteps seem to be unconditionally fast, it's as if she's walking and yet she's somehow gaining on you as you run through various rooms.
With every room you run though it seems like time is slowing down, you can barely hear your heartbeat anymore and that's been ringing obnoxiously throughout your ears from the moment you arrived at this cursed place.
"I was going to play nice human, but you leave me with no choice" you hear her scowl from a few meters away, her heels clicking towards you at rapid speeds.
Your breathing halts as you turn through a doorway, slipping and sliding around on the moistened floor until you collide something, hitting your spine in all sorts of weird ways and pain surges through your meek body..
You huff and puff, inflating and deflating your lungs with such volume as you try to get up again, grabbing and holding onto whatever you could reach for stability and support.
You're too slow though and the woman gets a hold of you, her ice cold, slender fingers grasp your wrist painfully as she tackles you to a wall, making sure to bash your head as hard as possible so you faint.
And that's what you did, you fainted.
Your eyes slide open a tad, blinking a few times as your body regains complete consciousness.
"Good, now eat this" a bag of bread is thrown at your head as you process everything.
You're sitting in a chair, frozen with some dangerous woman staring at you intensely from the corner. She was holding bread, or so you assume considering it was just thrown at your head.
"Why?" You stupidly respond, earning a glare from the mystery woman.
"Because I said so. Besides, I need to keep my family's dinner alive" she rolls her eyes as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"What?" You rub your eyes like some typical, basic, boring, stupid main character of a story.
"My family are coming down in a few hours, you're going to be one of our main sources of food" she smiles charmingly, as if she's not about to sacrifice some innocent city girl to please her family.
You stay silent, staring at the bread in your lap as you argue with the urge to ask anymore questions. Though, one does slip out. "What do you mean by food?"
