Ⅰ: Enter the Mansion

Hill Valley Town. A small normal town where nothing out of the ordinary, right?

WELL, wrong.

Across the small town, past the graveyard, is an abandoned mansion. Long ago, rich people would stay there for no more than a week. The reason they left is because they believed that the place is haunted with demons or ghosts. The place was soon forgotten, everyone never paid too much attention to it at all.

Until SHE arrived.

A young girl of the age of 29 moved in the abandoned "cursed" mansion. Everyone guessed that she would leave like all the other people did before her. 

But she didn't.

It didn't take long before the town's children wandered in the mansion, to meet the girl. They soon began to love her tricks and performances that she puts on for them. Since she is not really ordinary, they promised not to tell anyone, they hoped that their parents won't find out.

But they sure did find out.

And that was the night that they wished they would have left her alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An old owl screeched while standing on a sign that welcomed the town, think it was going to be a peaceful night.

Not until an angry mob came marching past, with their torches of fire and shouting words of nonsense, heading out of their comfort of a town. Some were the parents of the children who visited the 29 year old, holding the hands of their children while walking. They looked up at their parents as they rambled and rambled on, why don't they see the enjoyment they feel when they visit her?

The mob continued to storm down the dirt road that leads to both the graveyard and the abandoned mansion. When they got closer, they stopped at the main gates, which looked locked despite it to be very rusted and old.

"Why don't we just leave her alone?", a small boy asked as soon as they approached the gates.

"She hasn't hurt anybody, can't we just go?", a little boy said, trying to prove his point, "You're fault, jerk, you just wouldn't shut up.", his older brother said as he slapped his brother with the back of his hand. Their mother then hits her older son, "You did the right thing.", she said.

The mayor snarled in anger, "She's a weirdo. There is no place in this town for freaks like her.", he said. 

As soon as he finished speaking, the old rusted gate suddenly began to open up by itself. Some of the people soon began to get very worried, "S-see? Th-th-that ain't a good sign!", one man stuttered from the way back of the crowd. Everyone now feels uneasy, except for the mayor, who doesn't  give a single damn. He walks forward as the others follow frightenedly behind him, some began to cling the hands of their children to move them closer to them as they walked. 

After walking for a short while, they came up to the mansion's main doors. And, just like at the gates, they opened up by themselves as well. Everyone stopped and watched as the cold wind rushes inside.

"Just like last time! It's the demon!", the little boy said to his older brother as if he changed his heart.

 "Shut up,", his brother said as he slapped him like before. 

"Don't hit your brother!", their mother hissed sternly, as she slapped the older boy from the back of the head again. 

"There's no such thing as demons, honey.", the mother of one of the children said to her daughter, while rubbing her shoulders for comfort. "Gonna prove it to ya, kid.", the mayor said angrily, "Let's go,". 

Everyone soon follows behind him, ready for anything. But some don't feel so sure about this, "Maybe we should call and make sure this is a good time.", a woman said as she fiddled with her fingers in stress, "Maybe we should come back later.". Her friend agreed, since she is more concerned than stressed, "Yeah, when it's light out, you know, like daytime?". By now, everyone is entering the abandoned mansion, some worried that something might happen at any second. The house looks very much abandoned, since it has been nearly six years since the last people lived here, but there is still a presence that everyone felt all around them.

Suddenly, the main two doors slowly slam shut, making a loud echoing BAM!

The people jumped in fear and turned around, one man tried to open the door, but it was locked shut. Realizing that they are now trapped, everyone now feels panic, the confidence they all once had was gone.

Then a huge cold gust of wind swept across the crowd, making all their torches go out in a flash.

"Oh, damn!", the same man from before complained.

It was almost very dark, the only light source was the moon's crystal glare. Everyone by now are walking cautiously forward, hearing soft, but horrifying breathing down the hall. With the mayor leading the way, they all began to huddle close together, with the children staying in the middle and the adults around them. They headed deeper and deeper into the hallway, following the haunting breathing.

She's waiting.
