She hears a moan at the top of the stairs
But she don't move or fret just minds her business
"I swear these walls have been talking to me" she says
"Cause all I hear the devils wishes"
She feels his breath down her skin and bones
Crying out in pain
But no one knows how to find you
You're lost in darkness
Crying out in vain
But no one knows how to reach you
You're lost in darkness again
By her hair he drags her in the street
He's free of other's eyes there are no glances
She cries for help with a gun to her cheek
But no one comes nobody listens
Her blood runs red all through the street
Crying out in pain
But no one knows how to find you
You're lost in darkness
Crying out in vain
But no one knows how to reach you
You're lost in darkness
You're lost in darkness again

Chapter one (Italy, Germany, Japan) (America, England, France, Canada)
The Mansion was quiet, they weren’t even inside yet and they could feel something was off. But no one wanted to be the one to suggest they turn around, no one wanted to seem like they were scared, a wimp, or even un-heroic. So as they walked up to the front door the silence continued, and they all thought the same thing…. someone make us turn around.
*** Inside the house Italy, Germany, Japan***
The house was quiet as Italy’s shoes patted against the ground. The only reason they made noise was because Italy was skipping. Germany sighed at Italy’s childishness and Japan followed quietly after. That’s the way it always was though, so it’s not like any of them minded. Suddenly there was a loud crash from down the hall.
“What was that?” Italy jumped and ran back to hide behind Germany.
“It was probably one of the other countries” Germany shrugged looking over at Italy who was now clinging to his arm.
There was another loud crash, like shattering glass.
“I’ll go see what it is” Japan walked off down the hallway leaving Germany and Italy.
Japan opened the door at the end of the hall there was nothing inside the room really just a table with a smashed vase that contained a beautiful bright crimson rose lying on the floor next to it.
“Is anyone in here?” Japan called out he heard the door lock and footsteps behind him. He quickly turned around “Germany… Itary? “He looked around but no one was there, sighing he turned around to face the vase, but instead of the vase and rose there was no a note, you will not escape, the note read and underneath it there lay a black wilted rose.
**America, England, France, and Canada**
America walked down the hallway quietly, the three…. No four of them had decided to split up due to the fact that France and England kept arguing. Suddenly he saw the door knob at the end of the hall move. He froze, no one had passed him. The door flew open and a gray beast ran down the hall towards America. He stayed still frozen in fear for a second then bolted down the hallway. He could hear arguing in a room somewhere down the hall to the left. He turned right. He ran until he was cornered in the back of the hall way. Quickly he pulled out his gun shooting at the beast, the wounds healed almost instantly and the beast ran forward shoving its claws into America lifting him off the ground his gun falling out of his hand and then it threw him across the hall through a door and into another room. He slammed against the wall falling to the floor. Weakly he made it to his hands and knees only to have the claws dig into his side once more. This time he lay still as the thing disappeared he heard someone running down the hall and into the room. He closed his eyes and remained still.
“America!” England called and America felt his brother’s hand on his shoulder, using everything he had America whimpered in pain. England carefully slipped his hands under his fallen brother causing America to scream in pain and England to quickly lay America back down on the floor.
“w-what happened?” England asked looking at the claw marks embedded on his brother’s body.
“Get” America took a weak breath and opened his eyes “Get out of h-here befor-“his breathing stopped.
“America?” England looked at his brother tears in his eyes then threw himself onto America sobbing “America! No, please wake up!” America’s body lay still “please no…. nonononononono” England pulled away and stood his tears falling to the floor. He walked out of the room not looking back, and trying to forget the look in his brothers cold dead still open eyes. If only they hadn’t split up maybe he could’ve done something.
