ღ HOUSE OF HORRORS // "Osito!!"

ღ❀ღೋ───WHERE'S MY HELLO HUG?

it had been six weeks since nicole suddenly went missing. even so, today would mark julian's death of six years. it still felt unreal to everyone that the ball of sunshine wasn't there anymore. his cracking jokes, the mansion filling up with the smell of ground beef from his tacos, and his painting where he would spend hours in his art room that now remained filled with empty canvases. while the blonde achieved his dream of becoming a famous artist, all of his artwork moved to new york's newly founded museum, said to be holding the history of the city.

julian wouldn't want everyone to be crying and moping around on this day. matter of fact, he said so in his will claiming he'd haunt anyone who did. but of course, that still didn't change the pain those close to him felt every year. currently, you sat in the living room with the twins, watching as the two played a rather competitive card game of uno while drinking hot cocoa considering the sudden wave of cold that came over the mansion. though in reality, it was to try and do what julian would've wanted, for everyone to remain happy.

but while you tried to keep your composure, it was like your heart was breaking into pieces all over again the day the blonde died. despite the laughs and small activities the house did in honor of the artist, you couldn't help but to feel even worse. these things.. all reminded you of him. and while you couldn't bear to forget him, it still struck into your heart like a thousand thunderbolts.

as the day passed on, the thomasville family, their spouses, children, and julian's old friends all came over to get together. given they all loved the blonde, it was only right to spend time with one another and try to forget the pain that came with today. eventually, the sun began to set and you were here left alone with the twins. just as you were about to usher them to pick up the cards and head to bed, you felt a sudden shiver run up your spine.

it wasn't the coldness, however, but more of a sense- no, a presence being around. at first, you thought nothing of it, as the presence was similar to nicole's magic radiating around her and she was on her way to see the twins for a while. however, much to your surprise, the closer this presence got, the more it changed.. while it was indeed nicole's powers, you felt someone else as well. it felt like him.

eyes narrowing in slight distress, but nonetheless confusion, you got up without a word to the twins and made your way towards the corridors. however, just as you were about to get to the door you stopped dead in your tracks. and julian stopped dead in his as he stared back at you. YOU...?
