The Haunted Mansion
'Naomi ran from a masked killer with a knife. Blood was covering the knife, making it glisten in the moonlight. The killers face is unknown, dew to the horrid mask covering its face. The mask was a black mask with horns at the sides. He was running after her. Unfortunately, Naomi tripped on a log, giving the killer an advantage. He was next to her, staring down at her body, lifting his right arm with the knife.
"No, no ,NO!!" screamed Naomi before being stabbed by the bloody knife multiple times. Her head being chopped off. (Chills) The killer picked up her head and stuffed it into a black garbage bag before walking away from the blood covered, headless body.'
Tea was shaking like crazy during the movie while clinging on to Atem's now hurting arm.
"Relax Tea, this happened a long time ago. There's nothing to be scared of," he whispered, trying to calm her down.
'The next day, Naomi's body was found. People were saying it was the spirit of the knife that attacked her. Others say it was a monster, but no one knows. A shadow was walking down the hall to a bathroom where a girl was taking a shower. The door flung open, revealing the mask murderer. He opened the curtain to a screaming girl. She looked straight at him and screamed, but not for long as he head was chopped off and her body was stabbed and torn.' The screen went black then popped out at the home of a man and that woman. 'The man arrived home to see everything black. He walked around the house to come to the door where the woman was murdered. He heard water running, so he opened the door to find her body handcuffed to the pole and torn and stabbed all over. Her head missing like all the others. A shadow appeared behind him, a knife getting ready to stab his back.' The screen went blank before showing the credits and having the lights turned back on. Everybody got up to head out, including Atem and Tea. They exited the theater to meet up with their friends Joey, Tristan, Duke, Serenity, Mai, Yugi, Seto and Mokuba. They all started talking about the movie, making Serenity, Joey, Mai, and Tea scared again.
Yugi sighed and said, "It's happened a while ago, there's nothing to be scared of." The group walked out to the limo and left to go home. After an hour, the limo broke down in the middle of nowhere in the pitch black dark. Everyone stepped out to see what was wrong.
"Sorry, sir, it seems that we have a broken engine," said the driver.
"O.k. so how about we look for a place to stay," suggested Mokuba, laughing nervously at their angry and tired faces. They all turned to him and agreed. Suddenly a mansion appeared in the distance. They noticed and ran to it. Seto went first and knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal a butler with white hair and black outfit. He stepped aside to allow them to enter.
"Hello, I am the butler, Noa," said Noa to the group, "If you need a place to stay, I will allow you to stay here. Your rooms are upstairs to the left." And with that he left. The group stared at him for a minute then started to walk up the stairs to their rooms where the butler told them. They entered their rooms, and closed their doors.
Tea was exiting her room right when Duke was. They looked at each other and nodded a yes to have them stick together. They walked down stairs and into the library, where a big book was awaiting them. Tea walked over to the book and opened it to find a letter and a note in it. She looked at the letter then stuffed it into her pocket, to open it later. The note read, 'The King dies at dawn, while the Duke dies at night.' Tea turned to show this to Duke but he had disappeared.
"Duke? Duke, where are you?" Tea said turning the corner. She saw a light on in a room at the end of the hall. Taking tiny steps, she walked to the door and slowly opened it to reveal a bloody body handcuffed to two poles! Tea screamed on the top of her lungs and ran out the room, down the hall and out of the library. She sat in a chair and hugged her legs to her chest, wishing she hadn't seen that.
Atem, Mai, Joey, Seto, Mokuba, Tristan, Serenity, and Yugi were talking amongst themselves, quietly.
"Doesn't this seem a little to strange," Seto thought out loud. Everyone turned to him with a confused look.
"What do you mean," asked Mokuba, very curious.
"I mean our limo happens to breakdown, we happen to find a mansion, and we happen to be able to stay here. It all seem more than just a coincidence," he explained. Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by and ear breaking scream. They all rushed to its owner to see it was Tea. She was crying hard and hugging her knees to her chest. A hand touched her shoulder making her flinch and look at the owner of the hand to be Atem. He wrapped his arms around her and asked her, "What's wrong?"
She started crying harder so it was difficult for him to understand her, but he managed to hear Duke, library, hall, dead. Atem didn't understand, so he picked Tea up bridal style and asked her to show him where.
"No," pleaded Tea, obviously scared.
"Tea," started Atem.
"No," she said again, this time starting to shake.
"Tea, please show me," he begged. She looked at him then pointed to the library. He and the others walked towards it. They stopped in the library and looked at Tea, who pointed to the hall she walked down and ran from before. The group walked down the hall and stopped at the door she was at before. She shakily pointed at the door. Seto opened the door, but didn't like what he saw. Duke's body with head chopped and torn all over, his eyes and mouth opened in a scared expression. His arms were handcuffed to poles on the wall, so he was hanging dead in the middle of the room. The entire group stared in horror at the lifeless, cold body if front of them. Tea was put back on her feet so she could walk by herself. She went over to in front of the body and prayed to the god, Ra that Duke's soul would be spared and brought to heaven to live peacefully, but something was wrong. Tea could feel that Duke's soul is in danger. Suddenly, the door slammed closed and the lights went out. All the girls screamed or should I say girls and Joey screamed. A faint glow was circling around them. They all watched, but it suddenly went out.
"Uh, guys, who's touching me?" asked Tea, scared.
"Guys, what happened to the lights?" asked Mokuba.
"Uh, Guys, who's touching me?" asked Tea, again.
"I don't know what happened to the lights, Mokuba," said Atem.
"GUYS, WHO'S IS TOUCHING ME!" shouted Tea.
"God, Tea. No ones touching you," yelled Seto, annoyed.
"That's so wrong," said a maniacal voice, "I'm touching you." Lightening flickered outside the window. Tea screamed another ear bleeding scream, but was silenced by a dark hand.
"Don't worry, it will soon be over," said the voice, disappearing into mid air. The lights flickered on, but something was missing. They looked for what caused their feeling, but only Tea noticed.
"Duke's body is gone," she shouted. Everyone was silent, but a light cracking sound broke their silence. Tea took a step toward the rest of the group, but stopped as the cracking noise got louder and louder.
"TEA, MOVE! The floor is breaking!" shouted Mokuba, worried. Tea stared at him for a minute then nodded. She readied herself and ran as fast a she could, but when she got to their safe side, something caused her to accidentally fall backwards and into the dark hole.
"TEA," shouted Atem, grabbing her hand, but fell in as well.
"ATEM, TEA," shouted Mokuba, trying to grab their hands but ended up falling, too.
"MOKUBA!" yelled Seto. He dived in to grab his little brother and ended up the same as Atem and Tea.
"GUYS!" yelled Yugi, staring at the hole. Suddenly the door opened to the hall.
"Come on, Yug. We'll find them, but we have to find another way how to get down there," explained Joey. Yugi gave a slight nod, then the rest of them exited to room, on their search for their friends.
Meanwhile, Atem, Tea, Seto, and Mokuba had reached the bottom of the hole, all unconscious. Unknown to them, a shadowy figure was watching them from a far, smirking maniacally at them.
