~•*By the way, I got this idea from a 'Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu' episode I love! Just so ya know ^w^*•~

"Years passed after he killed his wife and still the son did not ask what happened to his beloved mother. But one day, the husband decided to ask the son. 'Don't you miss your mother?' he asked the son. The son stared at him blankly for a minute then said 'but dad, mom has been standing next to you the entire time.'"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" screamed Feliciano and Gilbert as they jumped into each other's arms. "Z-ZHAT VAS MESSED UP _____!!!!" Gilbert exclaimed as he tried to hide his fear behind his ego. "VEEEE! HOLD ME! IT'S SO SCARY!!" Feliciano panicked as he continued to hold onto Gilbert.

Kiku sat there uncomfortably as his face only slightly paled, "um... ______-san, that was a bit gruesome." You smiled as you flicked the lights back on and blew out the candle in the middle of the table, "gruesome? It's a ghost story! Of course it needs to be a bit gruesome sometimes~" Walking back to the table you stand behind your empty chair and look at Ludwig's expression. He just sat there with his arms crossed over his chest. The whole point of this ghost story party was to scare Ludwig, but after all of your stories he still has not given even a yelp.

Putting his hand to his chin he thinks aloud, "I don't see vhy zhat is so scary. Zhe women didn't even have a grenade or machine gun, so I doubt zhat she vould have been a real threat." You groan and slump over the chair, "what? Seriously? Oh come on! It was a ghost! It could, like, possess you or something! Isn't that scary at all?" Ludwig continued to show no sign of fear at all. Gilbert slumped back in his chair and groaned, "it's no use, Vest vill never get scared. He is zhe awesome, fearless me's brother after all! Kesese~" You face palm as you grumble in frustration.

"What can we do? I ran out of stories to tell," you ask as you look around the table for any suggestions. You notice Kiku raise his hand a bit. Nodding over at him you wait for him to speak, "got an idea Kiku-san?" He cleared his throat politely before speaking. "I heard there is an old burned down hospitar not far from here. Peopre say that it is haunted so nobody has gone in it for years," your ears perked up at the new info, "some have seen someone rooking out of the windows sometimes. Maybe we shourd take him there." A grin was painted onto your lips as you felt determined to scare the crap outta Ludwig. Giving Kiku a quick, awkward for him, brofist you point to the door, "let's go you guys! To the haunted house!" Feliciano shook his head vigorously at the idea, "Noooo! I don't want to go! It'll be scary!" Gilbert laughed as he patted Feliciano's head, "zhat is alright Feli! Ju can stay here." Feliciano sighed in relief, "ve~ thank you Gilbert!" Grinning Gilbert added onto his sentence, "ju can stay here. All. By. Yourself."

Feliciano frowned then started to panic, "b-but I don't want to be alone!" Kiku tapped him awkwardly on the shoulder. Turning around, Feliciano looks over at his friend. "Fericiano-chan, I can stay here with you. I rearry do not want to go bother the spirits a the hospitar," Kiku says as he gives Feliciano a truthful smile. Feliciano grinned then tackled Kiku in a hug, which made Kiku feel extremely uncomfortable, "yaay! Thank you Kiku!" You laughed as you watched Kiku sit there as stiff as a board. Putting your hands on your hips you look over Gilbert and Ludwig, "ok you two! Time to go to the hospital!" Gilbert cheered while Ludwig sighed, "I guess I should go. Zhere might be traps there." Slamming your hand onto the table you cheer, "okie dokie! Let's head out!"



Taking your bikes, you riding on the back of Ludwig's since you didn't have your bike with you, you all eventually arrived in front of the abandoned hospital. Jumping off of the bike you make your way to the front of the hospital. "Kesese~ Feli and Kiku are such chickens. Zhis is so not scary!" Gilbert stated as he looked over the hospital's busted windows and cracked walls. You shiver as you look back at Ludwig putting his bike against a tree. Suddenly you hear Gilbert shriek, making you spin your body in his direction, "w-what's wrong, Gil?" Gilbert points up to the fourth floor window, his face almost completely snow white, "z-z-zhere vas a-a-an old lady in z-zhat v-vindow a second ago!!"

Putting on your best brave face you laugh at him, "what are you talking about Gil? There's nobody there, h-haha!" Gilbert shakes his head rapidly then hops back onto his bike, "I-I just remembered z-zhat G-G-Gilbird needed to go to... u-uh. Zhe feather s-salon! Ja! Z-Zhat's it! See ya later!!" With those final shaky words Gilbert was off like lightning in the direction of Kiku's house, where you all were at earlier. You watched as he disappeared in the distance before talking, "j-jeez, getting scared before we even get in. Come on, let's go Ludwig." Continuing your stride to the hospital's open doors, you hear Ludwig's foot steps behind you. "I don't know vhy he vas scared. Zhe old lady vas just standing zhere." You froze dead in your tracks. Slowly turning around you stare at him blankly, "s-say what?"

"She vas just standing zhere."

"E-Eh?!"

Ludwig stared at you, showing no sign of fear or concern for the strange old lady. "I vould understand if she had a missile launcher or sniper rifle but she had nozhing of zhe sort," he said as if it was completely natural to see some random old lady in the window of an abandoned hospital. You scratch your head, obviously frustrated at his lack of the jitters. "RAAH! Aren't you freaked out just a little bit?! Why the heck would an old lady be out so late at night anyway?" you more than less yelled at him. Ludwig looked up at the window then answered you in a calm manor, "maybe she got lost. Ve vill find her and bring her to zhe police station for furzher help." Sighing you give up, "yea. I guess so..."

"Are ju scared ______?" He asked as started walking to the doors. You look over into the darkness of the building then stutter, "n-no! Of course I'm not s-s-scared!! Let's go!" One foot after the other you start to storm into the hospital, only stopping for a minute right in front of it's broken doors. Looking behind you, you ask awkwardly, "h-hey, why don't you go in first?"


After a few minutes the two of you were deep into the building. You were cringing behind Ludwig, as he held his pistol by his side pointing it straight ahead, turning your head rapidly to check all angles. Ludwig's flashlight shined on the floor, revealing small dirty dolls and empty packets of blood. Shaking you just had to ask, "how about now? Scared?" Ludwig just continued to look ahead, nothing phasing him, "scared of what?" Sighing you continued to look around, "never mind."

Ludwig's light facing directly ahead, revealing a turn, you spot a moldy looking dead person's head pop out from the turn before disappearing again. You jump back and let out a small squeak. "That was odd," Ludwig said as he stood there, a completely calm expression on his face. Giving him an 'are you kidding me!?' face, you lean back and point at him in disbelief. "Y-You can't be serious! You're just so, abnormal! What's wrong with you? GYAAH! You give me a head ache," you complain as Ludwig just continues to walk ahead. "If ju are getting cold feet zhen ju can head back. I am concerned about zhe old lady on zhe fourth floor but if ju are too scared zhen-" Ludwig said a bit frustrated before getting cut off by you. "What? Me? Scared? N-No way! I'm coming with you!"



You two walked throughout the hospital, seeing all sorts of different creepy things. Pointing to the floating, glowing head outside the window you state, "how about that?" Ludwig glanced up at it then kept walking, "nein." You groan then storm ahead, "never mind, next!"

You stood at the bottom of some dark stairs and heard children laughing at the top. Pointing up the stairs, you ask again, "how about that then?" Ludwig arched his eyebrow then answered, "zhey are just laughing." Grumbling curses under your breath you exclaim, "scratch that!" before running ahead again.

"Leave. You all must leave. Or I will kill you. Kill. Kill. Kill," a little girl whispered as she stood on top of a hospital bed covered in blood as she held a hammer. Pointing a shaking finger at her as you hid behind Ludwig's body you try to stop your chattering teeth, "h-how 'b-bout that? S-Scary i-i-isn't it??" Holding his chin in his hand he though aloud, "she does have a veapon, but a hammer makes her not much of a threat so-" You could have flip a whole store of tables at this point. "Forget the weapon! She's drenched with blood!" You exclaim, totally forgetting that the girl was still standing there.

As he was about to open his mouth again you interrupt him, "oh forget it!" Walking out from behind him you start marching towards the little girl, no longer scared of her creepy appearance. Pointing your finger at her you start to lecture her, "hey you! Why don't you do something cool, like breath fire or fly around or something?" The little bloody girl just smirked at you as her giggle echoed throughout the small room. Glaring, you stomp towards her, even more frustrated, "hey wipe that stupid smirk off your face! It's not even scary and-"

"______! Get back here!" Ludwig yelled as he started running to you. Jerking your head around you glare at him, "what?!" Suddenly you hear the floor under you creak. Looking down you watch as the ground under you collapsed, you falling down to the floor below. You had no time to scream so all you did was stare at Ludwig's worried expression as you fell with the rubble.

Your eyes flutter open and all you see is the concrete dust flying in the air and the fallen ground around you. A pain started to spread throughout your head as you slowly turned it to the side. The color of crimson red was splattered all over the concrete slab you lay on. It slowly began to branch out in different directions as it flowed like a small creek down your arms and back. Your thoughts were swimming around your head, "wow... That's a lot of blood, huh. Is it mine?" The sound of concrete being pushed over hit your ears as you slowly moved your head to face the front.

"______! Vhere are ju?! Follow my voice if ju can hear me!" Ludwig exclaimed as he frantically pushed a concrete block out of the way. As his gaze met your hazy eyes he froze for a second, observing the scene in front of him. Putting a hand in front of him he spoke in a shaky whisper, "vait, just stay vhere ju are. I'll come to ju." Your vision was still a bit fuzzy as you saw him climb over the rubble, slipping every so often, "why is Ludwig so... Jittery?" As he climbed the last bit of rubble to you he knelt down on one knee in front of you. His hands hovered over your body, shaking, "______, are ju hurt?" Tilting your head to the side, you look at the blood, "I'm... Not really sure..." Ludwig took his finger and traced it over some of the blood. A confused look appeared on his face as he studied the liquid on his fingers. Bringing it to his nose he sniffed it, "zhis is... paint."

"What?" you ask as you stared at the red next to you. Beyond the rubble you could see a bunch of halloween stuff, from fake blood to plastic bodies lined up against a wall. Ludwig observes it for a while as you try to sit up, "vhat is all zhis?" Suddenly you hear foot steps from the floor you just fell from, "hey! Is everyone alright?" The two of you look up to see the little girl and Peter looking cautiously into the whole. A tall man comes out from behind them and looks down at you two, worried, "oh dear. I hope everybody's alright."


After finally getting out from the rubble, you and Ludwig follow Peter, the little girl, which you figured out was Lili, and the man to a lit room inside of the hospital. Sitting on the floor you two listen as the children introduce themselves to you. A small timid boy speaks, "h-hi there. Sorry for the trouble... I'm Ravis... ItwasallPeter'sfaultthatyougothurtbecausehewantedtohelptheniceman-" Peter hit Ravis on the head and pouted, "hey! It wasn't all my fault! Lili wanted to help the old man out too!" The man, whose name you forgot already, smiled at the three kids then spoke kindly to you two, "Sorry about all of the trouble. I was just tired of having all of these teens visiting here and bothering me. I mean, this is my home now." You nodded then looked over at Lili, "so you wanted to help this man out? How nice of you all, but isn't Basch and the others worried about you staying out late?" 

Peter shook his head and grinned, "nope! We all told them that we were staying over at your place for the night for a party! Right, you guys?" He looked over at the others and they nodded. Lili smiled as innocently as she always does and giggled, "I never lied to big bruder before, but it was quite thrilling." You sweat dropped and looked back over at Peter, "so all of those creepy things were you guys all along? That's amazing! I bet it was you too that propped the old lady in front of the window as well. What was she? A manikin?" Peter looked over at Ravis then Lili, both shaking their head. Turning back to me Peter answered, "we didn't get any old lady thingy." A cold shiver went down your spine before you spoke again, "wait, if it wasn't you then..."

The man took in a calm breath stared square at you, "oh, that old lady. Yeah, she's been appearing around here a lot lately. I guess she died in the fire a while ago. Maybe her soul's still wondering around here." You quickly paled and fainted right there next to Ludwig. Ludwig looked down at you and sighed as he picked you up on his back and started to carry you out of the Hospital in a casual pace. Peter and Ravis ran out of the hospital faster than a deer running from mountain lion while Lili walked along with you and Ludwig making sure you would be fine. 

Finally outside, Lili said goodbye to you two and walked home with Basch, who found out she lied when he called your place to hear nobody was there, while Ludwig had you ride the back of his bike back home. As you sat on the back of his bike you couldn't help but think back to when you fell. "Hey, Ludwig," you began as you stared up at the passing street lights, "I was wondering..." You paused your sentence to see if he was listening . "Ja," Ludwig said as he continued to stare straight ahead. Taking a breath in you move your gaze to the star lit sky, "were you scared... You know, when I looked like I was covered in blood." There was a long pause as you awaited his answer. The sound of the bike's wheels on the concrete made you anxious as you waited to hear his voice. Looking down at the passing earth you waited until you heard a faint "ja". Lifting your head up you look at the back of Ludwig's head, "what was that?" 

"Nozhing. It vasn't important."

"Oh really~"

You wrapped your arms around his waist tightly as you laughed, "what did you say? Tell me!" Ludwig began to swerve on the empty street, trying to keep his balance. "__-__-_______! Let go I need to steer!" he stuttered as you continued to hold onto him. "Nope! Tell me what you said! I wanna know!" 

"Nein!"

"Tell me~"

"NEEEEIIN!"
