They say there's a deserted house in the mountains, it's about three hours on foot from the World Summit Hall. No one knows how long it has been there or who use to live in it, rumors have said that it is haunted.
Chapter One, The Mansion Where None Should Enter
It was an old house, pretty worn down in my opinion.
Three windows hung on each side of the house and each one of them was coated in a layer of dust.
It was hard to see inside them from where the Axis Powers stood but then again why would you want to see inside them? Thick vines wound up the chipped paint telling the visitors the mansion hadn't been taken care of in a while.
The large front wooden door was probably the only thing that stood out to be clean. Stopping dead in my tracks I glanced around the abandoned overgrown yard thinking I was being watched "I thought it was just a rumor. I never thought we would actually find it." my ally Japan said staring into one of the upstairs windows. Grinning triumphantly at the large house Japan's younger sister N. Sakura grinned, snapping a picture with her digital camera "Yeah South will be so jelly, sucks to be her that she has an un-awesome cold." she replied looking down at her camera to see the newly taken image, this was one adventure she would love to rub in her younger sister's face "It has such a desolate feel, not bad." my eldest brother Prussia stated his crimson eyes glittering with curiosity, like everyone else that was with him he too was wondering what was inside the old house "I don't think it's very interesting though." my other brother Germany muttered, I couldn't help but nod in agreement-the view wasn't interesting it just looked like scene from one of those cheesy old fashion horror movie. Nothing special really "Yeah it just looks like a deserted house from where we stand." I muttered back glaring at the second story windows "Me neither." replied Japan making N. Sakura frown "Can't we just take look at it from the inside then go back?" After the long hike we all went though my last ally Italy finally began to whine about something other than his feet hurting "Awww~" he began "After all the trouble we had to finding it? C'mon let's just go in for a little while!" he clung to Germany's arm hoping the stern nation would change Japan's mind, giving his Italian friend a black stair Germany nodded his head "Italy's right we should at least look around, who knows What we'll find." with that being said by the "leader" of our group my small party of six entered the house.
The door swung open without any complaints which made me shutter, it gave off a loud, eerie creak.
Just by that I knew this was going to be one creepy visit.
I moved a bit closer to Prussia without realizing it, but once I heard the x-country chuckle I knew I would never hear the end of it "You scared Say?" glaring at my brother's pale face I narrowed my eyes into slits "No." I replied stubbornly.
Smiling evilly Prussia then snatched the white cap I had off my head. I hissed "Give it back!" I spat, reaching my hand out to snatch it back. But my brother leaped back, a cocky grin plastered on his face "Why?" he asked placing the floppy brunette-like hat on his silvery head "Because it's your boyfriend's hat?" he stretched the word making my cheeks flare crimson. Growling in embarrassment I watched in annoyance as Prussia made a kissy face. Quickly, I thrust my hand out to pinch him in his side.I was hoping he wound surrender MY hat and leave ME alone.
While we bickered about the others tuned us out knowing not to get involved "It's cleaner than I thought." Italy said quietly as he looked around
"O-oie can we go now?" Germany asked "What's the matter, West!? You scared too!?" Prussia called making his younger brother blush. It was silent after that.
Then a few minutes later a loud shattering noise cut though the air
"O-Oie, can We go now?"
Germany asked again, but this time coming off a bit more demanding.
Peering down the hallway to the right I snatched the hat that Prussia had dropped "Oh, don't be silly. It's not like there're any ghosts they don't exist! Where is your common sense?" Japan then asked. He began to walk towards the noise
"Be careful, Japan!" Italy called as he continued to cling to Germany "I know, Italy. I'll just go and see what happened, I'll be right back." watching Japan go N. Sakura turned to me with a smirk "Let's follow him." she said "The boys are all scared."
"You clung to Japan, I saw you!" N. Sakura tapped her camera button's recorder with her pointer finger.
I then got the unspoken message.
Nodding my head I placed my hat back on my head.
The two of us ran after Japan before the others could stop us.
The floorboards squeaked beneath our feet as we skittered across them but N. Sakura and I didn't care.
Racing to be beside her older brother N. Sakura hugged his left arm "Did-ja miss me?" she asked sweetly, Japan began to fidget in her hold "No, I did not." replied Japan, she stuck her tongue out at him in return.
Ignoring everything around me I began to look across the hall walls, I inspected them for pictures or paintings but found none. Moving closer to the wall I ran my fingers over the pale wallpaper, continuing like this I began to walk forward.
But as soon as my fingertips hit a door I froze.
Japan came over and began to pry at the door handle to try and get it to open.
It must have been locked or permanently shut cause it wasn't budging "It's probably in this room anyway Gokata-Chan." Japan smile as he pointed to the door at the end of a hall.
Squealing with excitement N. Sakura raced over and flung it open, she rushed in and I flinched once I heard her fall.
I don't think N. Sakura can run in Japanese sandals, let alone the fancy blue kimono dress she was wearing.
Racing in after her I was rather surprised at the sight of a (somewhat) clean kitchen "North." I said as I took her hand "Your such a klutz!" smiling like an idiot N. Sakura then pointed across the room "Ah but I am a genius, Gokata, I found what fell." following her gaze I felt some sweat drop
"A pate fell." I thought "How could such a small thing make such a big noise?" Japan was the one who moved closer to the object, examining it he pointed out the obvious
"It seems we have found what broke." he said quietly, running his fingers gently around the broken surface
"I must be careful not to cut myself." he thought, picking up a small shard Japan looked back at N. Sakura and me
"Let's get back and show the others that the scary noise wasn't a ghost." N. Sakura nodded her head and giggle
"They can be such jumpy kitties sometimes~" clicking the button on her camera N. Sakura stopped the video she was filming
"I even have proof of everything that happened!"
Japan's party of three was rather shocked to find the room empty when they returned...
"We did leave them here, didn't we?" I asked looking around, I half expected Prussia to jump out from a dark corner to try and scare me "Did they leave after all? How regrettable." sighed Japan "Well, no sense staying here." walking over to the front door Japan's footsteps seemed to echo throughout the room.
Slipping his hand around the brass door handle he pressed his thumb on the small circle on top. I jumped as Japan pulled back on the door, it didn't open.
He tried again.
Terror began to course through my veins, the front door was locked from the outside in
"A-ah?" Japan gaped, he brought his hand back to his side
"What a cruel joke." muttered N. Sakura
"Did they lock the door to try and scare us?" I shook my head, this is a pretty sick joke (if it was one). Luckily my common sense always overpowered my fears "It's a pretty big house, if we walk around were bound to find another exit." I said. The three of us then decided splitting up would be the best option, the house was so big and it would be a hassle if hours were wasted. None of us wanted to spend a night in this house-it was too creepy. Japan and N. Sakura had volunteered to take the hall on the left (it was darker and dustier) while the I got the long end of the stick and took the one beside the stairs (where there was light at the end of the long hall) "Meet me back here in ten minutes." Japan told me "Please don't do anything foolish." I nodded my head "Don't worry about me but just… watch North, she's bound to do something stupid." nodding his head Japan walked off, N. Sakura trailing behind him. Japan and North Sakura departed from Gokata
