So here's my story! I hope you guys enjoy it! ^^
A deserted house in the woods, about three hours on foot from the world summit place. No one knows how long it has been there, or who used to live in it. Rumors said that it was… haunted.
The sound of footsteps was heard as four people made their way through the dead grass that was overgrown. "Well well well," a brown haired female with violet eyes said. "Look at what we've got ourselves here~" A male with black hair and red eyes kept his eyes closed. "It has such a desolate feel to it," he said. A male with white hair and magenta eyes stared at the mansion with a bored expression. "Not too shabby if you ask me," he said. The white haired male's sister looked at the mansion, her violet eyes filled with fear. "G-Guys, this place… Let's stay away," she said softly.
The black haired male, known as Alex spoke up, "I'd have to agree with Lily. Smartest thing to do is to look at it from the outside and then leave it be." "Oh my, is Alex scared~?" Dawn, the brown haired female taunted, a smirk on her face. Alex glared at her. "I knew you wanted me to tear your throat out!" he yelled, balling his hands into fists. The four then made their way inside.
Lily looked around curiously. "Well, at least it's clean… Okay, can we go now?" Lily's brother, Kaleb walked toward her. "Hush, sis," he said softly as a crash came from the other room. "Alex…" Lily trailed off. Alex didn't look at her. "I'm going to check what that was. Stay here, Lily," he said as he began walking away. Then Dawn piped up, "Oh? But I thought Big Bad Alex was scared~" "Ya want me to skin ya?" Alex growled to the female. "Dear Alex, don't forget a blankie~ Man you're so much more different than Skylar. How did she raise you?" Dawn asked with a smirk. Alex rolled his eyes and continued walking. "Well from the looks of it, Valentine didn't do so well either…" Alex grumbled as he walked away from the group.
"Fucking Italians... " he grumbled as he walked down the hall. He then stopped and stood there for a moment when he saw the broken plate on the floor and he let out a sigh. 'It was just a plate. Well… Might as well get back to the others… No matter how much I don't want to...' Alex thought as he returned to where the others were supposed to be, but they weren't. 'Did they seriously leave? God no, the fuckers left. Tch...' Alex sighed as he continued to walk. 'Now I'm going to have to look for them' Alex then saw a figure standing there and he tilted his head. 'The hell is that thing?' he thought then shook his head. 'Keh, never mind. I wonder where the others are… Giving how much noise they make… err two of them.' Alex walked up a flight of stairs and walked through a door and laying on the floor was Lily's whip. "Well, I found something useful,' Alex said as he noticed a pink curtain before him, violently shaking.
Behind the curtain sat Lily, shaking violently. 'O-Oh no… I think I hear it coming...' She thought. Alex walked over and pulled back the curtain. "Lil-" He was cut off as Lily jumped out at him. "Raaaaah! Face the wrath of Deutschland!" Lily screamed as she pounced on Alex. Alex's eyes widened as he and Lily rolled on the floor. "What the hell!? It's me ya dunce!" Alex yelled out, completely agitated. Lily had Alex pinned to the floor and her eyes widened. "A-Alex?" she asked softly, tears pricking her eyes. Alex narrowed his red eyes. "Get. Off." he stated simply. Lily got off of him and stood up. "S-Sorry… I thought you were something else…" "Like what?" "I-I don't know, Alex. There's something other than us here." "Don't mind it, the others are probably just playing some sick prank." "B-But!" Lily protested. "Hush. Where are Dawn and Kaleb?" Alex asked, looking at the female.
Lily shrugged, beginning to tear up. "I-I don't know. I got separated fr-" A loud slap was heard as Alex's hand came into contact with Lily's cheek. "What did you do?" Alex asked. Lily blinked and looked at him. "I-I said I got separated from them…" she whispered. "And what did I tell you before I left?" Alex asked. Lily sighed and looked down. "To stay where I was," she said. "B-But please listen to me, Alex! I didn't just wander off! Something came after us and Dawn told me to split off!" Alex was silent before a moment before Lily piped up again, "By the way, I found something that might help you…" "Oh no-no, you're coming with me," Alex growled as he glared at Lily. Lily stood there for a moment, her eyes darting away from Alex's gaze before she bolted back behind the curtain. I'm sorry, but I don't wanna go back out there!" she exclaimed as she threw the card key at Alex, which hit him in the forehead.
Alex sighed and grabbed the card before leaving again. 'Why the hell must Lily be such a wuss?' he thought as he walked up to a door and used the card key. He walked in and looked around and stood there for a moment. 'This room… has a strange aura to it… I wonder...' he thought. While walking he tilted his head when he saw a rice ball sitting there. (A/N: Don't ask… Just deal with the fact that there's a random rice ball) 'What's one of these doing he- Hell no!' Alex thought as he swung his katana at the sudden figure that appeared. He then jumped at the large figure, slashing its body. Suddenly the figure threw Alex off, and suddenly Alex had something over his hands, like a binding of some kind. Alex growled lowly and ran straight at the figure, flinging his katana at it. He then pulled back before running at the figure, stabbing his katana straight into its skull. He then ran over and saw the card key and he sighed in relief.
"Ah, that looks useful. Unfortunately, I can't pick it up with these damn bindings on," Alex grumbled, staring down at the floor where the card key lay. He then looked back to see the figure slowly standing up, blood dripping down its face. 'Hopefully I can pull my katana out… looks pretty stuck in there.' he thought as his eyes began to glow. 'Well… anyways, at least I have something sharper.' A red mist then flowed quickly toward the figure and cut off its arm, and the shadowy bindings faded away. "Ah, there we go~" Alex mused, a smirk on his face. He then ran past the figure and pulled out his katana, quickly running away. "And sorry… But I need to get moving!" A deep growl came from the figure as it jumped at Alex who dived through the door, quickly locking it.
Alex took a deep breath and smirked. "And not a scratch on yours truly~" he said with a cocky attitude. His smirk soon faltered as he looked at the door. 'Is that thing gonna come out or not?' Alex then poked his head into the room and looked around, a look of confusion on his face. "Well then," Alex said, then scoffed with a laugh. "Wuss." He shrugged and walked out again, heading down the hall. 'I want to see if that rice ball is- Hey is that another card key?' Alex thought as another card key caught his eye. 'Says fourth floor, so might as well check that out' Alex thought as he walked up to the fourth floor. Once arriving up there, he unlocked the door and walked into the next room, looking around the somewhat empty room. He then looked around and saw a mochi stuck in the wall, he then raised an eyebrow. "A mochi?" he questioned before slowly reaching out to poke the little ball of fluff. The ball of fluff hissed at Alex and he brought his hand back then narrowed his eyes, practically having a stare down with the fluffy ball.
He then stopped and tilted his head. 'Maybe I should eat it. Gah, what am I doing? I have no time for this.' he thought, shaking his head. "I'll get someone else to eat you," Alex said, watching the little mochi's red eyes, dart to the floor. Alex shook his head and continued on his way. 'The Allies have yet to show their annoying faces… Hmm… Maybe I can get Lily to eat the mochi.' Alex thought as he walked into another room then stopped. "What the fu-"
There before Alex was an iron door and Alex facepalmed. "Good God, Lily, what did you do now? What's with the iron door?" Alex asked as he stared at the door, an unamused look on his face. "A-Alex, is that you?" "Yes, now get out," Alex growled. A whimper came from behind the door. "N-No I can't… Sorry." "Why not?" Alex asked, tilting his head. "I-I'm way too hungry to move," Lily whimpered softly. Alex glanced away and let out a huff of annoyance. "Well goody for you, I found a mochi for you to eat," he said. Lily let out a little squeak as though she were in pain. "N-No no wait, I lost my whip…! Yeah I lost it, I can't defend myself out there." Alex raised and eyebrow and pointed to where Lily's whip lay. "Your whip's right over there…" he said. Lily shook her head. "Wait yeah, I'm too hungry to move!" Lily exclaimed. Alex growled and he slammed his fists on the door. "For fucks sake get the hell outta there!" Alex snapped. "Could you bring the mochi here?" Lily asked softly. Alex shook his head. "It's stuck in a wall," he said.
"Th-That's fine! Just keep trying… it'll come out eventually," Lily said softly. "Hey, Alex want a beer?" Alex raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "Wha- Lily now is not the time to be drinking. And we all know alcohol and I don't mix well," Alex said. Lily pushed a bottle out before Alex. "But it replenishes magic…" She said softly before going silent. Alex picked the bottle up and looked at it before beginning to drink it. Once finishing he walked out and sighed, a scowl on his face. 'Fucking liar… He said he'd be back, he said he wouldn't be gone for long, but nooooo.' Alex thought as he walked toward a staircase without knowing. "Quite the fucking caretaker you were!" Alex yelled as he slipped, falling down the flight of stairs onto his face. 'Why do I even care anymore? If he doesn't care, I shouldn't care either…' Alex thought as he got up and walked, shoving his hands in his pockets. 'Stupid Skylar…Stupid December…Fucking Anna…Stupid Europe.' Alex thought bitterly as he walked down the hallway, looking down at his feet. 'Skylar would probably tell me to shut up then go on about how I don't know half of her hardships… Stupid idiot, I have the right to be upset too.' Alex then paused, thinking he saw something. He tilted his head. 'Hold up… No, it must be the alcohol.' Alex thought as he walked toward the door that was wide open. His eyes then widened as a shadowy type hand zoomed out and grabbed Alex's face, dragging him into the dark room. As Alex stood there, he heard a growl and his eyes widened.
