Lierotica One-shots

Family Heirloom

My anxiety was getting the best of me, my leg was shaking up and down with nervousness.

-Miss, the attorney will see you now. I got up from my position and adjusted my dress, I made my way to the office. It had his name on the door as I opened it.

-Miss Y/L/N please come. Take a seat. I walked in shyly and made my way over to the desk. I pulled out my documents; he took them with his hands and took out his glasses.

-Miss, it does say that all the properties are now yours; some of the Properties have been left in excellent condition. There is one property that is not as in a good state as the others, he was working on fixing it.

- I was told that he was working in his first manor. I hope to finish what he started.

-If you do start with the renovations I do recommend some courageous workers, for I have heard that the manor is haunted. With that said, he got up from his seat and extended his hand toward me.

-Thanks for everything; If there is anything else on the will for you I will contact you.

I thank him; I made my way around the large building, As I made my way outside, the sky looked dark and bloomy with gray clouds. It looks like a storm.

I got in my car, turned on the radio, and listened to the weather forecast, there was a warning about a big storm.

I was so alone and rarely saw my great uncle, after my mom had me the whole family turned against her. No one else in the family had kids but my mom did. They all hated me, except my great uncle, he loved me. There for all the riches and properties were mine, all mine.

I made my way on the rocky road, it was pouring rain I could barely see, the lines of trees hid the manor that was a few feet away. The road was muddy, but soon enough I saw a huge brick wall with a black gate. I got out of the car in a hurry, I had the keys in my hand and struggled with the lock of the gate.

I slowly made my way inside. The manor looked Victorian, there were a lot of terrains, and it had a barn and a fountain.

I ran towards the entrance, my feet splashing as I ran by. The door creaked as I opened it, I could see the dirty ground, there were leaves, and spider webs on the shelves, the doorway was big, it had some paintings on both sides and some tables at the bottom close to the wall. I left the keys on the table. I could see the furniture that was covered in sheets. I was sure that after the storm I was going to have to stay here. I explored the house. It was not in a horrible state. There were leaks here and there. Some windows were left open, so birds, bird poop, and feathers were also in some rooms.

It had three floors, while I was roaming around I found the library and I could see books on the floor on a desk it was messy. So I knew that someone had spent time here. I looked around the desk, it had the house blueprints on it. I was no expert but I could get one that could read them.

I looked around the third floor and found a room it was rather clean as to how long it had been abandoned. I ripped off the white sheets and dusted a bit before going back to the car and getting some things.

I got my suitcase and some clean sheets. I didn't need an apartment since now I owned several houses.

I made my way to the basement trying to find the breakers, after struggling for a bit with a flashlight in my hand I was able to bring the house to life.

As I made my way upstairs I thought I saw a figure standing by the library. My impulse made me turn toward the human figure that I had seen. I made my way towards the library, I looked around and saw that the lamp over the desk was on. It was a yellow light. Looked much like a candle. I decided to look around and read a few of the book titles.
