RE: HetaOni

Loop 1 - Part 1

"A haunted house? Here?"

"That's what I heard. Why, are you interested, occult nerd?"

"D-Don't say it like that!"

Antarctica couldn't help but smirk at England's embarrassed reaction when she called him an 'occult nerd,' which he was. The green-eyed nation huffed at her, folding his arms defiantly. Luckily, both of the nations were controlling their tempers currently, so there wouldn't be much of a scene.

"Ah, take a joke, Iggy. Well, either way. I won't hang around bugging you any longer; I've got a haunted house to find." She gave a lax, two-fingered salute to the blonde before walking off down the road. England gave a wave, then shrugged and continued his walking. He figured there couldn't be anything to that 'haunted house'…especially not like he'd seen in the past. Nothing, he thought, could ever be as bad as that place.

Arc, on the other hand, was hoping the opposite was true. She followed the map she'd gotten earlier, into a wooded area, though still on a concrete path. It looks like I'm getting close… she noticed, picking up her pace as she spotted the silhouette of a roof coming up over the trees.

"Must be it." Arc stated to herself, almost running up to it and stopping in front of the doors. She looked over the place, unphased by the eerie feeling she got from it, and walked up to the doors. Hm. I just hope the rumors are right and nobody lives here; that'd probably be worse, barging into someone's house.

Arc shook her head, figuring nobody had to live there for it to look so run down. Only haunted thing about this might be someone that went in here and died falling through the floor, she thought to herself with a smirk. Though, after seeing the inside of the first room, the albino already noticed something was off. There was no sign of dust…at all, as if it had been freshly cleaned. Just to verify, she ran her pale fingers over the wood table beside the door, and examined them closely afterwards, only to find nothing.

"Well, that's not reassuring." She sighed, but decided since she was already inside, she might as well continue. If anyone was inside, she'd try and explain the misunderstanding. Continuing on, the pale girl walked from the first room, and into what looked to be the den. Again, everything was spotless, that alone being unsettling, but not enough to deter the girl investigating it. After finding nothing in that room after about 15 minutes of investigating, she shrugged, and walked out of the room.

Entering a hallway, Arc started down it, reaching a door to her left at the end and grabbing the doorknob. Just as she started to turn the cold metal, though, she heard a barely audible crash from the room she just left. Curiosity stricken, she released the knob without opening the door and walked back down the hallway, faster than before, and peeked her head around the corner to catch a glimpse of the source of the noise. Unfortunately, the room was just as empty as she'd left it…save for a small decorative vase she'd seen the first time laying on the floor in pieces.

"Huh, and an age-old riddle is answered." She shook her head, inspecting the coffee table the vase had been on, and shrugging when she saw nothing around that could have moved it. "But what knocked this over? …Maybe there's a cat here or something…it would have run away if it knocked it over."

She stood from her crouched position, and before she could move otherwise, heard a creak in the floorboards behind her. Thinking it may have been the 'cat' that knocked the vase over, she turned around. "Here kitty kit—"

Her voice stopped short, as she stumbled back, grabbing for the closest thing; a shard of the vase at her feet. Though in the process of reaching down at such an awkward angle, she ended up falling down, grabbing the two largest shards she could see.

"S-stay back!"

So, like I said on my OTHER HetaOni fanfic that after re-reading it FAILED. COMPLETELY. because of how OOC I made everyone, I'm redoing this. I mentioned the other one was based on a roleplay, where all our characters knew each other and were close, so it seemed I guess, Mary-Suish to me at times. This is probably how it would really play out if it hadn't been a roleplay. And its gonna seem inconsistent next chapter because here Antarctica is clearly a girl, but they call her a "him" next chapter; its because she looks and acts boyish, and doesn't bother to correct people that call her a boy. Just so you know~. Review if you like, but I'm not counting on it. 'xD
