We were in the car on the way to the lake I was in casual clothing. A hoodie and jeans. When Jim got a phone call "the Selmer property. Tomorrow? I don't know I am out of of town right now. Hey but maybe I could come back early" Sara gives him a death stare "no. no I can't come back early. I'll call you on monday" Jim offered and the man on other end of the call. 

"Where are we?" Megan asked becoming aware of our surroundings. " Just a detour. we are just going to a gig we are going to be in and out in 20 minutes tops" Jim says excitedly "Okay Jim calm down the house isn't going anywhere" I joked, Megan, Micheal snickered and Sara giggled. I could tell Jim was rolling his eyes at me.

When we arrived at Gracey manor. From the outside it looked old and in desperate need of cleaning but it is huge so I won't blame the owner. Jim rolled the window and shouted. Me, Sara and Jim got out the gate was locked "give me a boost and I will go through the back door they are probably old" Jim volunteered "you'll probably kill them" I pointed out. we went back to the car but on the way the huge gate opened  'I thought it was locked' my mind raced with questions on how the gate opened. I hope this is some weird horror movie stuff. 

We went back in the car and drove through the gates then parked. The ground was engulfed in leaves and dirt. Megan slammed the car door "hey Megan don't slam the car door. It's sensitive" Jim outbursted. While they were talking and arguing like children I softly closed the car door then Looked at the Mansion for some reason I felt at peace almost like I was home. This is some weird deja vu shit.

"Hey Y/n wanna come check out the back" Sara asked me interupting my peace I shake my head "go ahead without me i'll be checking out the front" I replied she nodded and went to check out the back with Jim, Megan and Micheal.

I was checking the outside and the design of the house when it suddenly started to rain heavily and the others went to the front door "wow look at the knockers they're big" Jim began "out of the way" I interupted because Jim would go on and on "Hello. Evers and Evers real estate" I yelled while I used one of the knockers. 

The door suddenly opened wide and we went into the dry house. I was amazed on the size of the first room and how elegant it was and the clock on top of the arch and it scared me how alike this looks like the ballroom in my dream.. "wow" I mumbled. I was ignoring Jim ramble on the house being cleaned. Thankfully he got interupted by a man coming out of the hallway. He was the man who gave me a drink in my nightmare. I instantly felt uncomfortable in his presence. "Y/n" he asked "yes. that's me" I revealed myself hiding my uncomfort "you brought others" he stated 'I told you I couldn't come without them' I mentally rolled my eyes "Hi I'm Jim Evers of Evers and Evers real estate" he chirped holding out his hand for the man to shake "i'm Ramsly" he began. Jim still held out his hand for Ramsly to shake until he finally got it and put his hand down "here a water proof calender a little token of our thankfulness" Jim gave Ramsly the little card. I looked at Sara 'really' and she just shrugged

"The master wishes to discuss his affairs over dinner. Please follow me" Ramsly added. Me and and the others followed him through the hallway with knight armor. "we will be in and out in 20 minutes tops" Jim told us 'yeah right'.
