The Haunted Mansion

The Night Begins

I packed a bag full of actual necessities including: blankets and pillows, food, toilet paper, plastic plates and cups, water, my phone and laptop (and laptop charger), portable chargers, flashlights, batteries, portable fan, etc. We all left the house, except Logan for security. When we got there it seemed that my anxiety was maxed out. I had an attack. Mason held me and tried to convince them that this wasn't a good idea but I continued to lead him inside. Eventually we made it in. I could see the concerned look on Grace's and Nora's faces. Mason closed the door behind us as we made it inside. It was bigger and cleaner then I'd remembered, but obviously the police had to clean it up. We add camp in what we assumed use to be the dining room. The electricity was still on after all of these years too, it was weird. And still I felt calmer because he'd help me through the attack.

"Do you want to watch a movie with me", I said weakly. "Yea", he grinned. We scooted close to each other. "Umm, a comedy?" He replied, "Whatever you want". I smiled and played 'How to be Single' on my laptop. As the night got colder and darker we continued to watched fun movies. He held me and I laid my head on his shoulders. At that point, I felt like we could make it through the night unscathed. Then I heard a bump. We both looked above our heads, to the ceiling. "What the h..", he said frightened. I almost immediately told him to shush as we heard more bumps and crashes from above. We quietly packed our stuff back up and went outside, but I dropped my backs on the concrete in front of the mansion as I heard "Natalie" being called  from the house in a whisper.

It was so alluring and somehow I found myself back in the mansion. I turned to see Mason running back inside toward me. He grabbed me so hard and tried to remove me from the place but... "Natalie" is all I could hear now. My eyes were getting heavy and then all there was, was blackness. I could feel a cold hard surface beneath me. It felt like my body was being dragged along a cold tile floor. But there was no sound, I couldn't even hear my thoughts. I was scared to open my eyes. I felt it. Another anxiety attack coming over me. My whole body started to sweat, my stomach felt like it was in a knot, my eyes began to water, my heart beat became erratic and I could barely get a breath in. I knew what I had to do. I opened my eyes and to my dismay, it was Mason. He was holding me and my mouth closed. It was different, I could hear again, I could see too. What I was hearing was not pleasant and what I saw wasn't either..
