The sun was setting on the serene and peaceful town of Angel Grove. The sunlight, which gleamed and warmed the inhabitants with wondeful dreams of summer. Yes, everything was very much at peace. A couple of kids, roughly around the ages of 9 or 10 were playing near the ball park. Specifically, the abandoned warehouse, which supposedly was haunted. Of course, the kids had no idea why or how it was haunted. It was just a matter of local legend.
"I say it's completely stupid. There's no such thing as ghosts." said one boy. He looked up at the hose, which loomed over them. "Though it is a bit creepy..." The house reflected the sunlight off it's surface, giving the impression of mystified aura around it.
Another boy, slightly older than the first then said, "Oh yeah?" He smirked. "Then how come they hear moaning at night?" His face radiating with confidence. "I'm sure there's something there."
A girl stepped between them. "Now guys..." She sighed. "Let's just go inside and we'll know for sure who's right."
The first boy gave a small whimper. The older one gave him a triumphant smile. "Yeah! Let's do it!"
And so the three entered the house, all the while unaware that the sun had completely fallen. The inside of the house was decorated in an odd baroque style. The walls were lined with dark and depressing paintings which harbored frames with increasingly complex designs. Cobwebs sprouted from the ceiling and back, criss-crossing in some places. The three gave one look around and then the first boy said, in a whispered voice, "Okay, there's nothing here. Dead or alive." His face turned green at the very thought. But the young girl stared at him.
"We didn't even try the backroom yet!" She looked at him again. She saw the fear in his eyes. "Oh fine... we'll leave after after this." The older boy stared at her, thunderstruck at what he heard.
"Are you crazy?! We're just got here!" He started, but was hushed by the girl. At that moment, a loud moan was heard, screeching through the walls, making them wobbly and almost translucent. The first boy didn't wait, he stormed out of the house, heart racing and barely breathing. The other two started towards the door, but were blocked by a small luminous orb. It radiated a sinister glow and shot itself at the older boy. He dropped to the floor, shaking madly upon the ground. Terrified beyond compare, the girl tried ramming the door down, but was thrown back by an invisible force.
"W-we're r-r-really gonna die..." She broke out in sobs.
When she looked up, she no longer saw her friend thrasing on the ground. Instead, a cloaked figure stood before her. It looked at her, it's souless eyes drawing her closer. She knew nothing, she just wanted to be free. She vanished and the creature gave a cold laugh.
"Hm... I knew someone would eventually let curiosity get the better of them. I suppose I should pay my past employer a visit."
With a whirl of his cloak, he disappeared, and the house crumbled behind him.
