We made ourselves comfortable under the green silence of nature, chewing the homemade sandwiches while gossiping about the next plans.
Noticing my silence they asked what was it.
But as always shrugging i pointed towards the big old mansion, staring over at us with such creepiness, that made you want to throw up.
"It'll be okay." they giggled.
I knew.
But the loud thumping in my heart said the other.
Time soon flew by and with an unknown fear clinging to my heart we five discussed our different directions.
Gripping the camera tightly i tiptoed upstairs.
The eerily scratching sound kept echoing with my every step like it wanted to inform the owner of my unwanted arrival in their territory.
The settling sun cascaded its crimson hue all over the sky and i unconsciously found myself picturized the moment from the perfect view of the big window.
Grinning in the back of my mind, i thought of their facial expressions when they 'bout to know i was actually clicking sunset in a haunted place.
An hour had passed by and i almost lost my patience.
Carelessly started making my way to my crew as an abrupt noise caught me off guard.
Not just a noise.
A simple, elegant tune, could make you drift into a sleeping muse.
A single particular room, from where the form of a melancholy wavelength reached my ear. And before i could even understand, i was already standing in front of there.
A large piano, some calloused fingers cascading down smoothly over its surface.
And I saw you.
Sensing my presence your head snapped towards me.
Heart skipping a beat, explosion of butterflies in the tummy— the light blue and amber pair of eyes when met.
A boyish grin made its way upon your lips, almost bringing me to my knees.
Lowering it immediately, a sad frown crossed your handsome features.
"Do you want my money too?"
I shook my head as if it had its own self.
And the charming smile returned, forcing my lips too tugged up a little.
After ages.
"Hi! Myself Violet. You?"
"Alexander. Nice to meet you!"
