The hell house

chapter 02

:Lucy

Today is the night of the full moon and i overheard my dad talking to the prophet about this,the prophet said that Eldermor will arise today at night .

I'm planning to escape this palace in order to witness as he arises maybe i might solve the case i'm working on right now according to my research Eldermor is a spirit and he was a danger to the people in the past but i want prove i'm not just going to believe what i heard.i want to investigate further but i can't because my dad buried me in a lot of royal contracts.

"madam here is your food,"the servant brought me food but i was not in the mood to eat a single thing

"sebastian i don't really want food right now but i need you to help me escape,"i whispered behind his ears .i mean i don't want my father finding out about my escape and also these walls have ears.

Sebastian looked at me with shock.you'd swear he had seen a ghost.He is just being dramatic,i rolled my eyes upon seeing him pale like he was just woken up from death

"my princess you know i always do everything for you but i can't help you this time or i'll get fired and you know i need this job to provide for my family,"he looked down and i could see that he was helpless

Sebastian always supports me everytime but today he suprised me but i understand this could get him into serious trouble with my father and also my parents don't want me to leave the palace and anyways there are like 100 guards i can't get past them all.

"it's okay i get it please just get me a glass of milk,"and just like that i was ready to give up i mean there is noway i can get out of the palace without my father noticing that i'm gone.

"we are out of milk but the milk man will be here in just a few minutes i hope you don't mind waiting my princess,"his statement gave me a very big idea on how i can escape out of here

i can sneak in the milk man's cart nobody will notice me i'll just shove some pillows in my bed so my parents will think that i'm actually asleep.Okay this might just be the best idea i've ever had.

I waited and waited anxiously for the milk man i had already shoved the pillows in my bed so that no one will notice that i'm gone. Finally he showed up as he was unpacking the milk i slid in one of the saks in the cart making sure nobody sees me.

The milk man was finally done so the milk cart started moving.At this point i was just glad that we were finally far away from the palace i was starting to suffocate so i immediately jumped out of the sac.

The milk man startled upon seeing me.I thought the milk man was an old man but to my suprise he was a teenage boy maybe my age.

"Princess Lucy what are you in my cart i can get killed if i am found with you!"he screamed i didn't even mind him

I offered him some gold and told him to take me to that house to my suprise he agreed gold can buy anything even someone's soul.

"Why have you escaped from the palace?" he asked me. i really can't tell him about my plans i can't tell a stranger my plans

"it's just that i'm tired living behind those tall walls and i want to explore the kindom but my father does not allow me to leave the palace he says it's for my own safety but i can tell ,he is lying to me,"i explained hopefully he would believe my lie judging by the expression on his face.

He didn't say anything but the journey continued we finally arrived at the house it's as big as the books say it is.I was starting to get shivers down my spine.I was having second thoghts about this.

"Are you sure this is the place you want me to drop you at?"he said i could tell he is curious

"yes,i have to do something here but you have no right to question that,"i said as i rolled my eyes

"i don't know why i offered to take her here she has a stinky attitude and that's royals for you,"he whispered to himself but i could hear his mummering.

"what did you just say so according to you i'm just a royal snob well you have a lot to discover about me,"i said with a confident smile as i got off the cart."thanks for the ride but you may go now i no longer am in need of your services."

I started looking around i eventually walked in as it was already unlocked how weird. I took out my notebook and started scribbling a few things okay the house was weird and filled with only black appliances.

The walls were dark black and it was neatly painted it was really not hard to see because of the brightness of the moon it passionately shown brightly upon a big chair which had a crown on it.

I felt an urge to go foward and discover futher but i hesitated.This is definetely going on my mystery journal i mean both the chair and the crown were black.I can't wait to tell people what i have discovered no one has dared to enter this house and i might be the first.

The crown was big so there was no way it could have belonged to a female ,it is a possibility it belonged to a male figure.I gladly have one person in mind could my theory be true?

This must be the great Eldermor's crown he lived alone
