Please Stay With Me (Brahms Heelshire x Reader)

Chapter 2- Am I Really Alone?

  A soft light seeped in through thick open curtains, illuminating the room with a soft glow. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes as I laid in bed for a few moments before deciding to get up to see if I could find any old clothes to change into and maybe find a shower. I ventured down the hall into what I assumed to be Mr. & Mrs. Heelshires room, the door opened up into a master bedroom that seems fit for royalty. I walked past the giant bed and to the drawers in hope of finding something that may fit me.  After digging for a while I just decided to grab a button up shirt and some type of pants that I'm sure used to be Mr. Heelshires. The clothes seemed to fit well enough that they weren't falling off me or too tight. Now was time to look for the bathroom, I was sure it was on the same floor as my room. Possibly a door or 2 down? I open a few doors finding other guest bedrooms and finally the bathroom. I look in the closet and find your typical hygiene products. It kind of surprises me that all of this stuff is still here but hey, it works in my favor. I hang the clothes I found over the towel rack and start to undress  and then I pause, my ankle has been all bandaged up. I don't remember ever bandaging it up, I don't even remember looking for a first aid kit matter of fact. How? Who's here? I'm not alone, am I? That's when I suddenly remember the doll, the rules it left, the fact that I found it by the door even though it wasn't there previously. I decide that I'm gonna to try and follow the rules for a day and see what happens, but first I need to shower. 

   I finish stripping and get into the shower, making sure to be gentle around my ankle. I finish my shower and get dressed, making sure I brush my hair to get any knots and tangles out. Once I'm pleased I head to Brahms room to get the doll and the list of rules. Upon entering the room I realize the doll isn't where I had left it. Panicking slightly I head downstairs to see if he's there. I enter the study and find him sitting at the piano, his tiny porcelain hands positioned on the piano keys. The sight makes me let out a soft chuckle. It's terrifying sure, but think about it.  A doll playing the piano with his tiny little hands. I guess I could show him something I know. I start to play the tune of Brahms Lullaby when I hear a soft creak of floorboards causing my head to spin around. On a stand by the doorway there's a letter that definitely wasn't there before. I quickly grab it off the stand and read it, it says 

"Hello, my name is Brahms. What's your name? I really liked your playing, it's one of my favorite lullaby's. I hope you don't mind but I bandaged your ankle. I hope your okay, I'm sorry if I scared you before. I promise I'll be good. Will you stay? Please stay, I've been so lonely since mummy and daddy left. Please Stay with me."

  I could only stare in shock, was Brahms alive or was this the doll? I glanced back and forth between the doll and the letter. Deciding that I should probably answer back I said loudly but not enough to be yelling just incase he really was listening, "Hi Brahms. My names y/n. I'm glad you liked my playing and thank you for patching me up, I really appreciate it. You scared me at first when you appeared by the front door, I didn't expect you to be there. It spooked me a little. The rules, do I really need to follow them?" I waited for a second and then I heard  a soft voice, like a Child's voice, "Yes, please. Please follow the rules." I definitely wasn't expecting a voice, possessed doll or not. "Um, okay Brahms. I can do that. I can follow the rules." I don't know if I was expecting another reply but it never came. I went the rest of my day following the scheduled that Brahms seemed to have all set out. Nothing further happened but as I went about my day I could definitely feel a sort of presence, it was a little unsettling but it wasn't an uncomfortable feeling. It let me know that Brahms was still here in a way, watching over me like a guardian angel. 

  The day carried on like usual and eventually the sun had gone down meaning it was time for me to Brahms down for bed. Carrying him to the bathroom with me I set him down on the sink  as I brushed my teeth and pretended to brush his as well. After I had finished up in the bathroom I carried Brahms to his room and changed him into his pajamas before gently placing him under the covers. Kneeling beside his bed in an effort to see what would happen I said, "If you behave really well tomorrow Brahms, maybe I'll let you sleep in my bed. Okay? You have to be on your best behaviour." Looking the doll over one last time I stood up and turned the light off, heading off to my own room to get changed until heard a soft thump. I brushed it off and continued towards my room until I heard it again, "Brahms remember what I told you, if you want to sleep in my room tomorrow you need to behave. That means no playing tricks and no scaring me."  After that it was silent throughout the house. I put my own pajamas on and climbed into bed, drifting off to sleep soon after. 

Ok so, obviously still going with this. I have no idea how long i'll make this story but I do know that I don't want to rush into a lot of things. I want you as a reader to be able to get a better understanding of what's going on and to form some type of bond with doll Brahms before I introduce Real Brahms. 

So story recap: You're being chased by an unknown man and sprained your ankle, you've found refuge in the seemingly abandoned Heelshire mansion while you heal and figure out a plan, doll Brahms has made himself known and has given you the rules, you've decided to follow the rules while you stay in the mansion and are curious about the doll.
