Trapped. You try to escape this place, but with no way out, how can you? The walls close in more and more on you, and a wave of claustrophobia hits you, making you stagger and tremble a bit.  You're trapped in an endless mansion, the sound of the Lullaby growing louder and louder and louder. Blood stains, from previous victims probably, stain the old wood floors, terrifying you even more. What kind of a monster's lair have you even entered..?

Trembling as the figure approaches, you choke a sob and fall to your knees, sobbing uncontrollably as he comes towards you. "P-Please d-d-d-don't ki-kill me..." You manage to say between painful sobs and hiccups, as the shadow, nicknamed L̶̡̨̖̟̲̺̱̃̓ư̶̢̺̠̥͌̄̐͛͂͗́͠l̵̨̔̄́̍̿͌̚l̵͎̣̥̟̺͉̤̎͗͐̈́̓̑͒̐à̴̛̗̊͋͊͑̀̊͠͝b̸̡̮̮̙̝͇̯̯͙̋̀̀͛y̶͍̓͜ approaches closer, grinning like a madman.

You're hopeful you have a chance. Hopeful. But suddenly, the old, worn down, stained in crimson blood axe pulls up to your neck, the seeming dull but sharp crimson blade touching your quivering neck ever so gently, leaving behind a bleeding cut and fresh new blood.

Your teary eyes widen, and the axe causes you to flinch, scooting back from the axe. You put your fingertips to the open wound, wincing quite notably. You hesitantly look up at  L̶̡̨̖̟̲̺̱̃̓ư̶̢̺̠̥͌̄̐͛͂͗́͠l̵̨̔̄́̍̿͌̚l̵͎̣̥̟̺͉̤̎͗͐̈́̓̑͒̐à̴̛̗̊͋͊͑̀̊͠͝b̸̡̮̮̙̝͇̯̯͙̋̀̀͛y̶͍̓͜,   which ended in a disapproving glare from their sketchy, shadow face, their red eyes glaring at you, making you freeze up in fear.

They suspend the axe up in the air, grinning widely at you, as you tear up, only moments left before you get gruesomely murdered by this.... creature. They don't deserve to be called a human anymore. Not after what they had done.

A tear trickles down your face as the axe hits you straight in the head, crushing your skull and leaving you dead as they laugh maniacally. You never got to say goodbye to friends, family, anyone...

They chuckle, disappearing into the shadows again, the lullaby fading into silence as the abandoned place becomes eerily silent once again, but now with a new body...
