Please Stay With Me (Brahms Heelshire x Reader)

Chapter 1- Finding the Mansion

   I ran as fast as my legs would carry me, terrified he was still hot on my trail. Running over broken and battered fallen branches, tripping over tree roots. I could barely breathe. It was as if my lungs were being crushed with an iron grip. Adrenaline still rushing through my veins, I kept running through the woods in a foggy panic. And then it happened, my foot caught on large root sticking out of the ground. It felt as if my ankle had popped out of its socket, I nearly screamed until I remembered he could be close by and see me any second now out in the open. I scrambled to my feet trying to find someplace to hide. In the distance I could see a stone wall hopefully leading to some some sort of entrance. I made my way towards it glancing back every so often, paranoid that I'd be caught any second. Limping along the wall I found myself in front of a large metal gate trying to pry it open. After many attempts, I managed to make an opening just barley wide enough to squeeze through. Upon getting through the gates there seemed to be a long driveway overrun with weeds and moss. Following it I came upon a large mansion, it seemed to be abandoned. The mansion itself still looked fairly clean, while the yard and things surrounded it seemed, unkempt almost? Inching my way up onto the porch slowly, I peered through a large window. It looked to be a living room or a game room of some sort, it was surprisingly clean inside however in comparison to the outside of the mansion. Assuming the mansion was abandoned, I tried to open the door and to my luck it pushed open. I stepped inside, glancing around at different things. There was taxidermy hung around the home, a large staircase leading upstairs, multiple rooms downstairs and a open kitchen. It's a lovely home, I wonder why the previous owners left? I limped cautiously up the large staircase, upon reaching the top of the stairs I found a large painting. It all made sense now. I had read about the Heelshires roughly a year ago, about their son who died in a terrible fire and about the murder of Emily Cribbs. I felt kind of creeped out now looking at the painting, it felt as if they eyes were truly watching me. I ventured further down a hallway until I came upon a room decorated with old wallpaper and shelves filled with children's toys. This must have been Brahms' room. I picked up a toy off a dresser examining it closely until a loud creak caught my attention, causing me to drop the small toy. Picking it up off the ground quickly and setting it back on the shelf, I made my way over to the doorway and peeked my head out. "Hello? Is somebody here?" my voice trembled, laced with fear. "Listen, I don't mean any harm. I was in trouble and I didn't have anywhere to go. Hello?"  I decided to check the house to see if anyone really was here and I wasn't all alone. Making my way down the stairs I paused, by the front door there sat a doll. He hadn't been there when I first came in, right? I hadn't remembered seeing such a thing. Cautiously I made my way towards it, in it's lap there was a clipboard that seemed to have rules on it? 

Rules

1: No Guests

2: Never Leave Brahms Alone

3: Save Meals In Freezer

4: Never Cover Brahms Face 

5: Read A Bedtime Story 

6: Play Music Loud

7: Clean The Traps 

8: Only Malcom Brings Deliveries 

9: Brahms Is Never to Leave 

10: Kiss Goodnight 

  It confused me, who were these rules for? How did they get here? Hell, why were they here? I just chose to ignore it for now but decided to put the doll respectively in the room I was in previously. As I made my way out of the room I could feel my stomach growl and decided to see if anything had been left in the kitchen cupboards and headed to the kitchen. My ankle ached as I made my way to the kitchen, deciding to wait until after I find something to eat to deal with it. Opening up the cupboards I found a few canned goods,  I'm just happy none of them were expired yet. Settling on a can of beans I look for something to open the can, finding  a knife and other silverware in one of the drawers. It puzzled me,  it seemed as if everything had been left behind. The home seemed more like a time capsule than it did an abandoned mansion. Pushing the thought aside I ate my beans and hummed a tune I could only vaguely remember. Finishing  my food I decided that the mansion was probably the safest place for me to be right now. I begrudgingly made my way back up the stairs for the what, 5th time?  I need to stop going up and down the stairs with a sprained ankle, it'll only make it worse. I made my way down the hallway from earlier finding a room across from Brahms room with a large bed. Taking off my shoes and hoodie that had gotten dirty from the chase in the forest earlier I laid in the large comfy bed. I could feel my eyelids grow heavy with sleep as I laid back onto the comfy pillows. And with that I drifted off to sleep. 

Okay so, I haven't written anything in a while so it's not the best but I don't think its terrible. If you have any writers suggestions or just suggestions in general feel free to add some. If you like it that's great too! I hope I'll be able to create a good story and plot off this and that you'll enjoy it! :]
