Silhouettes

Well this is a work that I had written a few years ago and is currently still up on Fanfiction. 

It is a horror work that I had spent a lot of time on and had integrated the characters from Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy 7. 

All characters found all go to their rightful owners, Square Enix. I just borrowed them for the sake of the story. 

The plotline however...Is completely original and I am the one who came up with it. 

*****

Legend says that both good and evil spirits haunt the Mansion up on the hill past Twilight Town.

Rumours even have it, that people have vanished into thin air, never to be seen again.

The Mansion has been through many, numerous ownership and some of the older generations of Twilight Town, say that the house is evil.

Sometimes on a silent night, you can hear the terrifying screams and eerie noises the Spirits emit.

The last owner had fled the house, claiming that she saw the Shadowed Spirits engulf and consume her husband.

Non-believers become the believers and yet again, the doomed Mansion on the hill is up for sale, cheaper than any other house in Twilight Town.

Waiting ever so patiently for its next family of victims.

It was a bright sunny early afternoon when the car pulled up in the driveway.

A sleek black sedan parked in the undercover drive and four doors opened instantaneously.

“Oh thank God” a loud cry came out echoing in the trees, a spiky haired brunette appeared from the left hand side of the car and stumbled to unsteady feet. He stretched his arms high above his head until his shoulders popped and he groaned in relief.

“This is great,” he groaned looking around to the passenger seat.

His mother, Aerith appeared clutching a crumpled pillow and her bag.

Her green eyes instantly brightened when she saw the House and she said in a cheerful voice.

“Oh isn’t this lovely, such a beautiful old house, it was up for so cheap as well.” She swooped to her eldest son wrapping her arms around him and said, “Sora, it’s a new life for us all.”

From the other side of the car, Sora’s younger brother Roxas appeared with a gloomy look on his face and a tired, frustrated looking father Cloud. Both vainly rubbed their face and looked up at the Mansion sighing, “When can we start to unpack?”

Aerith left her son and swooped to her husband fixing his crumpled shirt, “Well the movers don’t get here till later; we have the keys, so why don’t we go and look around?”

Agreeing with the eccentric Aerith, her family was pulled along as if on strings and to the magnificent oaken doors of the Twilight Mansion.

“Oh honey, isn’t this grand? Better than the tiny place we used to live in at Hollow Bastion.” Aerith entered the entrance hall and spun around in a circle, “Oh positively beautiful.”

 Cloud dawdled in after his wife and looked around the dusty hall, “Well it could have been cleaned before we came here.”

Aerith giggled and almost danced to her husband, “Oh it makes it all the more fun, who knows what we will find in such a large house like this?”
