After Dark ~✔

Chapter 6

I've been trying to locate the building but all my efforts has been in vain.

Maybe the job ad was fake and was put there by an insane person.

Why the hell would they put a fake ad on a bill board?

Was it a trick? Maybe they thought nobody in their right senses would want to apply for a job that makes it clear that what they're doing is dangerous.

I shook my head to that thought. Surely I can't be the only desperate unemployed graduate.

Did they move to another location?

But the ad looked new.
And even if they moved to another place at least the old building should be there.

They didn't move the old building too. Could they?

Definitely not.

The only building I've see so far since I've been wandering this particular street I didn't even know existed is an old manor with pealing paints and gates that looked like that of hell.

It looked deserted and hunted.

I shuddered.

The place was starting to give me the creeps so I turned preparing to go back home when I came to where the building was.

I stood and stared at it for a while.

Weighing the options.

Going into the building and getting killed by a ghost or going back home to a very worse fate of marrying James.

The latter looked way better so I went for it.

I went closer to the gate and touched it only to have it open up by itself.

Told ya!

Run now when you still have the chance.

No!

OK then, go ahead and get yourself possessed or even worse, killed.

That was an argument with me and Maya. That girl really knows how to encourage one. Note the sarcasm.

I ignored Maya's protests and went inside.

I saw a fountain that had stopped working probably since before I was born and looked like the only work it did was warn people like me that what was inside looked ugly and was far more dangerous than it.

I ignored that too.

Wow, you've really got balls. Where did you get them from tho? Your future husband ,James?

Shut up Maya!

As you wish milady.

I thought that with that she'd left me and decided to keep shut bit I was wrong.

I should have known that keeping her mouth shut was not in her diary.

I stumbled upon the root of a plant.

Wohoo! Third sign.

I really can't wait to wear black on your funeral.

You can't!.

Whatever makes you think so?

You're not real!

Oh really?

Yes!

I shut the door at her. Or so I thought.

Finally I made my way into the building and faced the door.
