Waking up on a bland Saturday night to hear a scream.The scream relentlessly overpowering your will to sleep, you cave in thinking, I'll just go check just in case...Are you scared? It asks a hissing and voice that makes you shudder. Are you scared? It repeats itself over and over. You climb down the creaky spiral wooden staircase, stair,by stair. The question of that snake like voice repeating itself...Are you scared? Building up your last bits of courage, and despair you follow endlessly. "Will this staircase never end?" You silently whisper. Are you scared? You shudder.Finally reaching the last stair you let out a deep sigh...What will you do next? It hisses...
You gulp, What will you do next? It repeats. You follow the voice to the best of your ability..."it's no use, it's everywhere!" You yell closing your eyes,punching your fist against the wallah hard as you could!...But your hand doesn't hit anything? You start laughing histarically, "This must be a dream...that's right a dream," you remove your fist from the wall slapping yourself with both hands. More voices seem to join in, but not hissing, more like laughing...Is this really a dream? They all say. "Stop it! Take me back!" You're on the verge of insanity. It was only a few days ago that YOU got here, our precious toy...they seemed to have hissed in unison. It was bright as day...you remember when you entered Midnight Manors dorm room A-1, a letter had found its way to your apartment "Congratulations on completing the requirements for the Boarding Highschool Midnight our 'committee' would like to invite you to stay in our Dormitory, of course there are others who will be sharing their quarters with you. We look forward to seeing your reply," Your eyes widened..."No one else is here" you whispered Laughs filled the hall...Are you scared? It asked...
Due to extreme confusion and exhaustion, you faint. Awoken by a small creak by your door. "Who's there?!" You yell, the noise was so alarming you nearly fall out of your bed. You hears noise echoing around the room "I'm sorry did I scare you?" The voice so innocent yet sweet. "Who...what are you?" "My name is creak, I am the doors of Midnight Manor I am the sound which silently creaks, I wander throughout keeping peace in order, but tonight I came to warn," Suddenly you noticed you're in a bed instead of the hall, "Was it just a dream?" You ask "I cannot stay here long and so I cannot answer, but beware the 7 crows on the 7th day the seventh crow will crow a "ti" the birds will sing'Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti'" "But there is another "do" " if that harmony aligns your stay here will become permanent before the seventh crow crow ti if you are not out of Midnight Manors by Midnight, I'm afraid it will become a big Horror for you," the voice drifts off slower into distance. You seems to awake again in the exact same room...It seems your stay at Midnight Manors is just beginning...
The ticking sound of clocks so round you overlapping you hear one clock tick faster, three clocks tick slower, and one clock that never ticks. It's driving you insane but how do you get out? You remember what the creak had said "in 7 days your stay at Midnight Manors may become permanent" you shake off the thought feeling helpless and in denial. Since yesterday you haven't dared venture out of the strange room you awoke in. Starving you wonder if you'll every eat the crappy store bought food you always shared with your roommate back in that apartment. You remember shelves of books piled up, underneath scatters of paper, it pains you to remember, it seemed memories were slowly fading out and away from you. "Ding-Dong" you think back it's 11:59p.m. Again 1 minute before Midnight the exact time you ventured down your first day here, the beginning of your horrors...and that voice 'Are you scared?' You slowly close your eyes...then you here it a beautiful musical note that was sung at the stroke of Midnight 'Do'. Six more days...and you might not even exists anymore...then you heard it that voice again. 'Soon you will become out permanent toy,' it chilled your body sending vibes all over. What would happen in six days, obviously you didn't want to find out and the voices chanted all night 'toy, toy, toy' they would've repeat that one word all through the night...sleep would not be possible. Until yet a small bony hand would grab your legs...you want to turn around and see what it is but you are too frightened...
You slowly gulp too scared to see what it is you turn your head. 'W-wh-what is it?" You asked "Do not be scared!" The voice suddenly said, it was small and bubbly like a little girl... You turn your head back slowly. You rub your eyes and finally it adjusts to the dark room when a small flare lights up. "I'm sorry creak sent me to feed you, also to tell you something, but eat first," You look down, salted pork chops yet to be warmed and a loaf of bread, with water. "Ah! I forgot to introduce myself, but you never looked up at me so I assumed you would know! I am shadow, I reflect the dark light casted upon objects. This is the second time I've casted upon a human here!" The shadow sounded excited as if you were some miracle sent from heaven you just put your head down and start eating...you speak between gasps. " I wouldn't think...I'm all the... Great... Who...was the first...human?" "Um, some guy I honestly do not know their name. All I know is that he never left," she smiled The first human never left you think, what if all is the same to me. You look up in awe, suddenly the shadow remembers something. "Ah yeah! The thing I have to tell you...but first did something come in here?" "What do you mean?" Suddenly you remember that bony hand. "I felt a small bony hand grab my foot wasn't that you?" The shadow shook its reflected head. "No a shadow cannot touch," You hear a snicker as another figure from the reflected light comes closer you hear it's irregular breath...what could it be now?
You open your eyes wide and...~ Sorry guys I just don't feel into this anymore =| I'm gonna write a more detailed and better stry in the drum Wednesday or Thursday sorry for killing you with the suspense I think I'll finish this up fast! I didn't fully kill it so I'm going to just say the ending on the sixth nigh what heckles out of the corner is skelly the skeleton which refers to take your place which was what creak had shadow tell you. That exact night you escaped midnight mansion never forgetting the soulless skelly that assisted you, the shadow that fed you, and the creak that warned you. ~Fin, sorry for the sloppiness
