The Haunted House 2: Spooky Sleepover [CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE]

TEASER

By now you had reached the central green of the cabins. Looking through the doorway into the Ares Cabin, you see some of the Ares campers polishing up their weapons and chatting. You catch one saying something about scaring some of the younger campers and you shudder, remembering the last time someone from the Ares Cabin pulled a prank on someone... it had most certainly not ended well. But in saying that, not all of them were too bad. It was just unfortunate that the victim's scream was very, very loud and very, very startling.

You did a full loop of the cabins, walking down the goddess's side before approaching the small marble box-like cabin which housed no inhabitants. Also known as, Hera's cabin.

Today, the cabin was in its usual state; white marble columns garlanded with pomegranates and flowers, the soft it let off contrasted by the way the door was ajar - just so much that it annoyed your OCD.

You head up the cabin steps, quickly moving towards the door to shut it when you hear a sudden, strange noise. It sounds like a slow tap drip, and it echoes out of the cabin door. The sound sends shivers up your spine, but are you brave enough to investigate?  

You creep towards the door, hand outstretched. Your fingers brush the doorknob and you push it open, the creaking sound piercing your ears like an out of tune instrument.

From Hera's lotus-topped staff drips a bright red substance.

You watch a drop fall and land splat in a large puddle on the floor. The red liquid seeps across the floor as if it detects your presence and you stand frozen staring at it...
