It's me again! I have a giant reason for starting this! I'm going to speed this fanfic and have it done by Valentines day! Ten days away! One story each day hopefully! So now I won't have to worry about writing a one shot and this gives me a challenge to see how much I can write in ten days! remember R&R and here's the disclaimer!
I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh I only own Winter!
My name is Winter Jay Eternal, I live in the Eternal Family Manor in the middle of Ash Forest, twenty miles from Domino City. I was taught by private teachers and my family owns the graveyards in Domino and in the forest. I'm twenty two and on February fourteenth I was killed by the one I loved.
For almost ninety years I roamed the grounds of my former home, trying and waiting for someone too write my story. Today is February fourth and a new caretaker has taken to the house by the name of Ryou Bakura.
This is the story of how I woke up. This is the story of how I fell in love with the groundskeeper.
Ryou sighed as he finished unpacking, every thing from his tiny apartment had been unpacked and placed somewhere in the slightly larger two floored grounds keeper house. Technically it was one floored but there was an attic that could fit his bed and a desk with enough room to walk around in. The first floor of the house had a simple dark oak flooring and simple dark ash colored wood walls. The windows were about two feet in length and a foot in width. There was a small area by the front door where it was gray stone, where at night it was pleasantly cool, the first floor had two rooms. One was a six by six bath room with wooden flooring and the other was the main part of the first floor, the kitchen and a living room was spaced evenly apart so that maximum space could be used. In the small area of the living room there was a small stone fire place that added heat to the entire house. In the corner there was a set of simple wooden stairs leading to the attic.
The attic was his room, two windows at each end with heavy black drapes for colder nights. The bed was pushed against the wall of one side of the room with a night stand next to it that held his books and a simple lamp with an alarm clock. To the right side of the room where the stairs ended was the desk placed about three feet from the stairs so that Ryou wouldn't get hurt. Along the edge of the stair case was a wooden railing so that none may fall. There were only two lamps in the room, the other was on his desk.
Out side of the small Groundskeeper's house was a small eight by ten shed that had tools for gardening and storage. Strangely the floor of the shed was stained by something a long time ago and red paint as Ryou hoped seemed to be splattered across the wall. However if Ryou had looked closer he could have found that it was not paint but, the stain of blood that previous groundkeepers neglected to hide.
Today had been long for Ryou with the drive through a dense dark forest in the rain and the long time of unpacking and getting things for the house all set up. Looking out of the window of the small little house he now inhabited Ryou looked with soft doe brown eyes at the towering manor above made of dark oak with a roofed deck at the front of the grand manor. The roof was black slate made of the same material as the groundskeeper's roof, the manor towered with six floors the first floor containing a sitting room, a dining room, kitchen and the stairs to the cellar and the stairs to the second floor. The cellar had the power boxes and wash room where as the second floor had a library, the master study and another sitting room. The third floor had the ball room and a bathroom, fourth floor had the Master bed room and three other rooms each with a private bathroom. The fifth floor had guest rooms and a third sitting room with two other studies and then the sixth was the attic where a small wrap around deck waited with rain pelting down on the roof and a three foot tall gothic fence. Ryou would have loved to go up there but he was not allowed to go up past the fourth floor as time had eaten away at the gothic manor leaving it slightly unstable. It was his job to care for this place until someone who was in the right mind and with enough money wanted to buy the manor but, that would never happen as rumors of the manor being haunted got out quickly. This played a reason why Ryou bought the care takers house, he had always been interested in the occult and paranormal. Out of the corner of his eye Ryou thought he saw a girl in the window of the sixth floor.
Looking to his side Ryou noted that it was late and tomorrow was a big day, going into the house to inspect it and make adjustments. Sighing Ryou walked up the stairs into his room and fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow a voice whispering to him unknowingly 'Sleep well groundskeeper.'
Ryou didn't know when he woke up but when he did there was a strange mist coming from the first floor, walking down Ryou's heart skipped a beat when he saw the outline of a figure staring out the window at the house. The figure vanished almost as soon as he saw it and the mist faded away leaving Ryou wondering what he had seen just then. With sleep nagging at his eyes Ryou flicked the strand of snow white hair out of his face as he fell asleep the rain outside becoming a thunder storm. What ever that thing on the first floor was, would have to wait till morning.
That's this chapter so far! I hope you liked it, if there is a question about that part at the beginning PM me or Review the question and I'll answer it as soon as I can. Right now if your not sure about the era the house was built in it was built in the late Victorian Era where electricity had replaced gas so the manor and the groundskeeper's house have working lights. That's it for now Next chapter will be up tomorrow! Remember R&R! BYE!
