(THIRD PERSON)

arthur, vivian and ator the elkhound were sitting in their minivan, arthur's tired eyes focused on the road, the sky suddenly flashed. arthur jumped and ator, who was fast asleep, jolted up, looking out of the window.

vivian shook her head and laughed quietly, "it's only lightning, guys. no need to panic."

arthur's eyes flashed to vivian then back at the road, "no, no, vivian. that couldn't have been lightning. there was no thunder."

another flash striked incredibly close to the minivan, causing arthur to panic.

arthur pushed his foot harder on the pedal,  and the van sped up.

"why'd you speed up, arty?" vivian questioned.

"didn't you see how close that strike was? and don't call me arty. it's gross."

vivian once again let out a small giggle, and arthur rolled his eyes.

suddenly, purple bolts of electricity shot through the car, not seeming to harm them, they all just sat there and stared in shock until every dial was down to 0, and the fuel was down to empty, they all looked at eachother in confusion as the van steadily slowed down until it came to a full stop.

they all hopped out of the van, much to their surprise they had stopped dead outside of a huge mansion; a spooky looking one.

arthur turned to vivian, whose eyes were lit up in excitement, her mouth wide open from shock. arthur used his finger and his thumb to rub his nose.

vivian, who was practically bouncing with excitement, happily exclaimed, "let's explore it!!"

arthur was hesitant, "uhh, well... vivi-" but before he knew it him and ator were pulled inside.

they pushed open the 2 huge doors and stood at the entrance for a few minutes, until the huge doors closed behind them, making the entire room dark.

all of a sudden, about 10 candles lit themselves with a purple flame, then a huge chandelier lit itself.

the paintings on the walls all lit up purple and suddenly, ator turned around and started quietly growling.

arthur and vivian both turned aswell, only to see around 5 ghosts standing behind them, they all looked friendly, but then not so much. arthur ran away, holding vivian's hand and pulling ator by his red collar.

"ghosts aren't real, right? that was just our imagination." arthur said, his voice shaky.

no answer.

they stopped in a hall full of paintings, all of them lit up purple.

the hall suddenly turned into some sort of slide, and they all slid into this strange dimension full of mirrors.

arthur fell further than vivian and ator, his robotic arm flashing with purple strikes as he hit the ground.

he rubbed his head and slowly looked up, he saw a large coffin in front of him.

suddenly, it started opening.
