Everything is cold, dark and silent. It usual always is, why must I be alone all the time. It makes me miserable, but I guess it's the faith of monster like myself.
I walk to the smallest room in the old mansion, it's the only room with a good view of outside. I sit on the old rocking chair and gaze at the outside world as the curtains flew in and out slowly from the half opened window. That's when I saw 4 students outside, standing in front of the gates and looking at the mansion. They looked to be having an argument, after about a few minutes, one of them climbed over the gates and walk towards the mansion. I got nervous and headed to the basement, where I usual sleep. I grab my gray hooded cloak and put it on, I hide my human like face under the hood, and make sure not to rip a hole in the sleeves with my navy blue claws. I hear the door open, I rush up the stairs a poke my head through the door way.
By the front door, I saw a young girl with short red hair. She was beautiful, her eyes were a light brown, and her face was angelic.
"Hello?!" She shouted, gripping her book bag and spinning around slowly, looking around to see if she saw anyone. Thankfully, she didn't see me. She slowly went up the old stair case, she seemed scared, she should be, just the sight of me could make onions cry.
I follow her slowly up the stairs, trying not to make any type of noise. When I peek to see down the hall, I see her glaring at the smallest room in the house, she took a deep breath and went in. I follow, tough, I don't go in, I just keep my distance and peek through the door way.
I see her touching the old rocking chair I was sitting on, she then moved towards the window and looks outside.
"Tch! Cowards, I knew they would run away. Haunted house my ass." she grunted, crossing her arms. I step forward a little, that when the wind tips over a small plastic cup. The girl flinched and looked back.
"Who's there!!!" she yelled. I ran down the hall and up to the mansion's tower. I hear her short foot steps follow me, I panic, rushing to the room, close the door and lock it. I sigh in relief, when then I was spooked at the sudden banging and shaking of the door. I turn to face the wall. I close my eyes and begin to wish I had stayed in the basement where it was much safer for anyone to see me. I hear the door break open and foot steps stomp in the room. I close my golden eyes tighter.
"Who the hell are you, why are you here!?" she shouted. I turn to her slowly.
"I…I--" I muttered lowly. I couldn't speak, I was too afraid for some reason.
"Well!? Who are you, and what re you doing here?! Did someone send you up here to scare me or something." she shouted again. I shake my head slowly into a no. "Then what are you doing up here?!" she was now yelling.
"I live here…" I said, as I looked down.
"So..? Are you the ghost that lives here?" she asked. I nod slowly. "Why are you hiding from me? Shouldn't I be running from you?!" she said. I remained silent for a minute and took a deep breath.
"You should… I'm a monster, a scary freak." I said. my eyes were now opening a little.
"You don't sound like won… You seem pretty scared to me." she said, this time calmer and sweetly.
"But I look like won…" I muttered. I hear her giggle.
"That doesn't mean anything… C'mon, take that thing off!" she said, I the felt my hood be removed I froze and opened my eyes wide. I hear her giggle again.
"See, you don't even look scary either." she said. I look at her with soft eyes, she smiled at me. She wasn't scared..? Maybe because she hasn't seen the demonic part off me. The ugly side. I look at claws and whine lowly. I then felt her soft hands grab my demonic ones. I look at her, curious and surprised at the way she could just… Touch me. Her lips grew in a wider smile.
"Not scary at all…"
