Chapter 1: The Ally from Long Ago
I went outside to the hall; empty. I looked around the hall wondering where to go. Looking at the blood, I went the opposite way to a door leading into the attic. When I entered, it was pitch black. Suddenly a bright light fell to the floor; a weird lamp. Cautiously, I picked it up.
"Hey Silky look," I said holding it so he can see it, "We can use this to see in the dark!"
I used the lamp to find the ladder and climbed up. As soon as I got up there, I heard a crash of a bookshelf. I walked up to it and used my lamp to see what fell; a boy was unconscious. Careful, I picked him up and took him downstairs to my room, which surprised me at first since the man named Ogre was gone. Placing him gentility on my bed, I tried to identify him as a resident of the mansion, but by his clothes, he wasn't. I examined him closely; he had blond hair that covers a portion of the right side of his face, his clothes are a white collared shirt slightly stained by something unknown to me, brown pants with straps over his shoulders. By his look, he seemed weak for his age, which is my age around 13 or 14. I touched his forehead; he had a fever.
"Oh no," I murmured, "A fever... maybe I should help him? Silky, let's get him something like a wet cloth."
I left the room and ran down to the entrance hall. When I arrived, I looked down and saw the same two corpses walking around the lower area. I quickly ran down the cafeteria and closed the door. The kitchen was so close, so I ran in and tried to find an ice pack or sometime to help with a fever. No medicine was in the mansion's normal rooms, but I found a bucket and a towel.
"No water?" I asked myself.
I turned on the water faucet and out came a red thick liquid; blood. I nearly screamed and decided to find a restroom so I could find water. I ran out of the rooms to a nearby room to the left of the entrance. There were two doors; one on the left, the other on the right. I went through the right door and I saw a weird painting; it looked like something was behind it. I walked towards it, but I couldn't get close enough to move it. Silky slid off of my neck and threw the hole by the painting.
"Silky!" I exclaimed.
Without thinking, I tried to pull off the painting to no avail. Suddenly something ripped out of the painting and tackled me to the floor. Freaked out, I struggled against a cold grip on my dress near my legs. It took a few seconds to get free and run out. As soon as I was outside, I leaned against the wall and tried to see if I was injured, which I was unscratched. Gathering up my courage, I peaked through the door to see if it was gone; empty, like it just vanished. I walked to the hole and went inside to find Silky; he was slithering to a passageway.
"Hey! Silky!" I exclaimed, "What are doing?! Come back here!"
I ran to get Silky and when I caught him, we were outside in a secret backyard with a pond. Realizing what he was showing me, I filled the bucket to halfway and I carried it all the way to my room without spilling it; it was frustrating. I soaked the towel and placed it careful on his head; his burning fever calm down, but I still had no idea who he was and how he got here. I got up and looked through the books in the room. One of them was about how you preserve a person's beauty, but I never understand what
They meant except when it talked about how the keep an eye fresh; it was very gross indeed. Closing the book, I stroked Silky's head and sat down by the bed. Closing my eyes, I thought about how Auntie used to treat me as a princess when I was just five.
"Auntie?" I asked her as she was making a doll.
"Oh! Ana, you want something?" she asked me and put the doll on the table she was working at.
"Are you making another doll?"
"You want to see it so far?"
She placed it in my arms and I looked at it; it looked like a baby girl!
"...Aya..."
That young voice snapped me out of my daydream. Looking around, the blond boy seemed to speak in his sleep; at least he wasn't dead. He was slowly waking up, but I noticed that he had something in his hair. Carefully, I took it out and read the note:
My Daughter, why have you become like your father... well now, I guess it's too late for me to save you this time, so I'll save the one who you could never hurt...
"….Aya?"
I looked up and saw the boy's eyes were opening up and he was looking at me.
"Um... I'm not this Aya girl, mister," I replied.
He got up a sitting position on the bed, but then he griped his side in pain. Rushing to get him to relax, I see blood staining the shirt.
"Hold on, I'll get some bandages, just stay here," I told him.
He nodded at me, since he was still in pain. I ran outside and went to a room in the west hall. The room had supplies, so I frantically searched for bandages. I found the box with them, but I needed a stool .As I turned to the left, I saw a little girl looking down and she had a gash to her left arm.
"Umm..." I started to say
"Maid Lissa...Maid Lissa..."
"Do you want your Mom? I can bring you to one of the maid's if y-"
The girl looked up and I saw half a burnt face and her eyes were pulled out.
"LISSA!"
She ran to me and I was suddenly in a room with a lot of equipment. Scared, I looked around the room and saw a girl coming inside with a maid. She was placed onto the table and the maid left. Auntie, Mr. Lois, and Maria were in there with weird tools.
"Where am I?" she asked Mr. Lois, "Uncle? What's going to happen to me?"
"The doctor is going to get rid of your blindness, Kelly, so please relax now," he replied.
"No! I want to stay with my maid this way! Please!"
I gasped at how she refused the offer. Maria then walked over holding a needle filled with an odd liquid.
"Now Kelly," Maria said, "I'm just going to put you asleep and Mistress will fix you up so you'll no longer have anymore pain, now then. Night."
She injected the liquid into her shoulder as she scream for her maid, but I felt pain in my eyes and my shoulder. Stop it now.
"STOP!" I screamed and pushed her off of my body and onto the floor.
I ran outside of the room and slammed the door. That vision was so real; it freaked me out still. Gathering up my courage, I went into the opposite room where the girl Kelly was. The room had lots of boxes in there and tables. Could there be a stool here? I looked around and found a box that I think has one.
"How do I open it?" I asked myself.
Then I remembered my knife in my backpack. Cutting it careful, I found the stool and I carried it to the other room. Once I jumped on and found the bandages, I got down and saw a bow on the ground. I picked it up and examined it; Kelly wore it earlier. I might as well take this; she wouldn't need this anymore. I went back to where the blond boy was and I tied up his wound.
"You have to be more careful," I said as I finished up, "You're lucky I found you, or those things would have killed you."
"...Thank you," he said back to me and our eyes met.
"Say, what's your name? I'm Ana."
"My name? It's... um..."
"You don't remember your name? You know, you look like a boy Auntie talked about one time."
"I... no I don't remember my name."
"Well then, I got to get going to save my Auntie, so stay here if you want to be safe."
I started to leave when he stood up and grabbed my arm.
"No wait! I... don't want to be alone Ana," he said to me.
"...Ok then mister, you know for now; I'll call you Dio for now, is that alright?" I asked him.
He nodded in response and we left the room.
-Yes, Dio makes a comeback! If this was to be a game, you'd have either to switch off or 2 players!
I'm somewhat basing it off of the Mad Father, but I'm making it more complex with puzzles and characters. Here are the main three: Ana, Dio, and Silky. Silky is important for Ana's character, so he counts. This is ALL in Ana's POV until you have to switch off with Dio. I might add more weapons, like the mini chainsaw or even new ones! Post up review and I'll try to answer without any spoilers. Any who, onto questions:
How in the world did Dio get amnesia?
Jump scare are here, you want more?
Should I have any relationships between Dio and Ana?
Is Dio lonely here?
How am I doing with the plot?
Ok, now that that's over, later and see you next time!
