The haunting of Phantom manor

Chapter 4

It had been a few hours since Galaxy reentered the library and began reading. At lunch Alice had brought her soup and two sandwiches before leaving the blonde to read. However a little while later she had fallen asleep in the chair.  

When it got to dinner Jasper had gone to collect Galaxy and lead her to the dinning room, he found her fast asleep. He decided to let her sleep and returned to the dinning hall. Once he reached the dinning hall Henry looked at him.

"Where is Galaxy." He said.

"She fell asleep in the library and I did not want to wake her." Jasper replied.

"I see. After I eat I will go and take her to her room." Henry said.

However he soon began to smirk. Jasper and Alice looked at each other not likely their master's look.

"Or we can have her see my ture appearance. Then tomorrow night we can reveal the rest." He said. 

"Are you sure that is wise master. For all we know that could traumatize the poor girl." Alice said.

"Yes and I have a feeling she will be startled but that's it." Henry said.

"Of course master. We will stay out of sight while that happens." Jasper said knowing there was nothing to change his mind.

Henry nodded now smirking more.

Several hours later in the library Galaxy stirred and woke to the grandfather clock chiming twelve am. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and stood up.

"I did not mean to fall asleep. I better go to my room, after I put the book away." She said outloud.

Grabbing the book that fell on the ground, Galaxy walked over to where she got it from. When she placed it away she heard a dark chuckle. Turning around Galaxy came face to face with a skeleton in a suit and a top hat.

"You are quite the interesting girl." He said.

"Thank you." Galaxy said unsure on what to say.

She then began backing up as the skeleton moved towards her.

"Um who are you exactly." Galaxy asked before tripping over her feet.

The being easily caught her by her waist and pulled her closer.

"Call me Phantom." He said.

Galaxy swallowed nervously before prying herself from his hold.

"It was nice to meet you but I must be going back to my room. It's late and I didn't mean to fall asleep in her." She said once more back up.

As she did, Galaxy once again tripped but Phantom didn't reach her this time. So when she fell Galaxy hit her head against a table falling unconscious. Phantom then walked over to Galaxy and bent down. He brushed his thumb over her cheek.

"You are such a interesting girl. Not a single sign of fear, simply nervousness and uncertainty." He said.

He then picked her up and began walking to her room. Once there Phantom gently placed Galaxy on the bed. He chuckled as he watched her subconsciously grab the blankets and cover herself with them. He soon began to leave.

"Goodnight my dear. Tomorrow night is when the fun begins." He said as he shut the door.

A few hours later Galaxy woke up and looked around confused.

"OK I am going to pretend last night didn't happen and it was a dream because of my past interactions with Afton.  As to how I got here, either I sleep walked or I was brought here." She said.

Galaxy then got up and walked to the wardrobe before there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." She said before the door open.

Henry stepped in and looked at her.

"Good morning Galaxy." He said.

"Morning. I have a question. How did I get back here. I know I fell asleep in the library. But I think I woke up in the middle of the night. I say that because I met a skeleton in a suit." Galaxy said.

"You must have dreamed that up. Because I brought you here after dinner." Henry lied smoothly, letting her think it was a weird dream until tonight.

Galaxy nodded agreeing.

"That's what I thought." She said.

Henry then noticed she had opened the wardrobe before picking a dress he knew would suit her perfectly. Galaxy blushed as she took the dress.

"I will leave you to change." He said before leaving and shutting the door.

Galaxy huffed as she set the dress down on the bed. Something about Henry Ravenswood was starting to feel a bit like William Afton. She then realized she was thinking that and shook her head

"What am I thinking. Did Afton mess me up to the point I think any male around his age is the same." Galaxy muttered.

Shaking her head again, Galaxy soon got dressed before leaving the room for the day.
