The couple tip toed across the dingy corridors of the old apartment, darkness crawling from the corners, the shadows deep and creepy. But in the eyes of the young man and woman in love, nothing was a bother. The only thought on their minds being that of their new - for them - apartment.

The man suddenly swooped the woman into his arms and her surprised chuckle echoed across the quiet corridor. He guffawed at her reaction and pretended to drop her, while she squeaked and gripped his shoulders tighter.

His eyes found hers and through all the light heartedness, the message was clear. His promise to never let her get hurt and her promise to never let him go.

Small, small reminders of big, big futures.

They reached the end of the corridor and he put her down carefully. They stood hand in hand in front of the closed apartment, their hearts beating with anticipation, happiness, excitement and pleasure.

Then the key was inserted and they entered into their new home. The place had a few furnishing with antique finishings but the walls were painted new and the floors scrubbed clean.

Smiling they began to unpack the boxes in the room, getting right down to business. Their friends from university were going to be dropping by tomorrow and they wanted to have the place a bit sorted out before that.

Little did they know, that they weren't the only ones in the house.
