Chapter 2 Strange things

Brendan walks down a hall on the first floor and comes across a door.

Brendan: Wonder what's in here?

Brendan goes in the door and goes into another door. Surprisingly it looks the same.

Brendan: Eh? Wasn't I just here? Man, I better write this down!

New Entry

Endless Hall:

W-what?! These halls are endless! What is this?! Is this the power of spirits?! Am I going insane?! ...I have to calm down... I'll get out... I will...

Brendan goes to the other side of the hall as he checks the map card he got and then he found himself at the left wing. Brendan looks at a plant.

Brendan: Artificial plants. Tacky if you ask me.

He saw a plant that fell over. Upon further inspection there's a key.

Brendan: Must be for the chest in the hallway.

Suddenly he hears a sound.

Brendan: What's that?! I need to hide! In the crate!

?: Ughhhh...

Brendan: (Should I check if it's still there? No that's dangerous.)

The sound stopped.

Brendan: Whatever that was I don't want to find out...

Brendan comes to a garden cliff.

Brendan: Yikes... Don't want to step in there.

Brendan comes to a door that was on the first floor. It was weak so he could force it open. He listens.

Brendan: I can hear faint breathing on the other side. Probably nothing.

Brendan forces the door open.

Brendan: Looks like a bathroom. A messy one.

Brendan looks in the mirror. The reflection is off. He ruffles through the cupboard. He finds some Music sheets.

Brendan: Why are these in a bathroom?

Suddenly he here's a glass breaking. Then he hears laughing.

Brendan: What was that?!

?: Hee-hee... come play with me...

Brendan: I have to escape!

The door won't open.

Brendan: No! I have to force it open.

With all his might Brendan slammed his body on the door, forced it open and locked it behind him.

Brendan: There... is no way... I'm going back in there! I should check out more of the first floor.

Brendan checks out another hallway when he sees...

Brendan: Max? Hey Max!

Brendan: I should go catch up.

...

Brendan: Wait why is he here? Did he come here before I did?
Brendan investigated more of the house. He found a bookshelf shoved in with a bunch of scraps. He finds a picture.

Brendan: Looks like a wedding photo. A bad one. Why are the faces blacked out? I should try find out more about this couple.

Brendan feels a presence shiver.

Brendan: Eh? What was that?

New Entry

Couple in the Photo:

Seems like a couple lived in this house. I found a wedding photo in between a bookshelf and some scraps. Why are the faces blacked out? This is getting weirder and weirder...

Brendan looks into a room and finds...

To Do list

Chores

Homework

Brendan: What a boring to do list.

Brendan investigates more and finds a piano. He looks at the music sheets.

Brendan: The notes on these music sheets match the piano... I'll play a bit of it.

Brendan plays the piano for a little bit. A girl in a white dress appears.

?: That's very beautiful.

Brendan turns around.

Brendan: Eh? Who are you?

Aria: I'm Aria. I was the owner of this piano. I died a long time ago.

Brendan was taken aback.

Brendan: Y-you're a spirit?
Aria: I can't remember much of my death but I know I was playing my piano and suddenly everything blacked out.

Brendan: Is there a way I can help?

Aria: My incomplete sheets. I haven't played for so long. Please find my sheets. I must finish them

Brendan gets up.

Brendan: I'll keep a look out.

New Entry

Aria:

I just met the spirit of a pianist named Aria. She seems to have no recollection of her death though she seems way too young... Was she murdered?

Brendan comes to a door.

Brendan: Wonder what's in here?

Brendan enters the door. He can hear a slight giggle.

Brendan: Someone there? (I can't see very well.)

Brendan could make out the figure of a girl holding...

Brendan: What?! She's holding scissors! Is she going to attack me?!

The girl comes closer.

Brendan: I have to escape! What the?! No! This door can't be jammed!

Brendan gave a few slams and finally broke the door open.

New Entry

Girl with scissors:
There was a girl with scissors that was about to attack me! The door behind me shut so I had to force it open. Luckily, I made it out alive. Who was this child? It looked like a ghost who had taken Physical Form.

Brendan goes back to the door with heavy breathing.

Brendan: (Please don't be here, please don't be here...)

Brendan opened the door but no one was there.

Brendan: Phew...

Brendan goes into the room and finds music sheets in a drawer.

Brendan: Why do they have blood spots on them?

Brendan goes through a box and finds...

Brendan: Why would anyone store these many scissors?! ...I'll take one just in case...

Brendan obtained scissors.

Brendan: ! Is she still here...?

The girl appears but then suddenly she disappears.

Brendan: Ah! …I guess I'm imagining things. She's not here.

Brendan returns to Aria.

Brendan: Here.

Aria: Thank you.

She disappears and seems to leave a key behind. Obtained Library key.

Brendan: Key... Ah! I'm such an idiot! I forgot to use the key for the chest in the hall.

Brendan goes back to the chest in the hall and opens it. Obtained note.

New Entry

Hopeless:

Looks like a code. I think the letters are numbered. Example A=1 B=2.

Brendan heads off to the library.

Brendan: Better turn the lights on.

Brendan flips the lamp switch. He goes through a bunch of books. One of them catches his interest.

Authorities have received reports of people going missing in a home. The home's owner wasn't aware of the situation seeing as he spends his time in the mines. This only rose suspicions and-

The page is incomplete.

Brendan: Better write this down.

New Entry

Investigation:

Looks like an investigation took place here a long time ago. Reports of people missing and the owner wasn't even aware of the problem. I should find notes of the investigation.

Brendan reads a note: You will die soon.

Brendan: What a nice thing to read.

Brendan finds a picture.

Brendan: Wha...? How did they even get this photo? Who wants to kill me? Oh, there's a key here.

Brendan Obtained Kitchen Key.

New Entry

Someone wants me Dead:

I found a photo of me and its says the word 'kill' over and over. Clearly, I am not alone in this house. But who could it be? The only people that know I'm here are my friends and I doubt they would pull a prank like this.

Brendan investigates the kitchen. He finds a safe.

Brendan: Hm... Maybe... Yes, the code worked!

Brendan obtained Master Bedroom key. He goes to the master bedroom and looks. Suddenly he sees...

Brendan: Ah- Was that my imagination? Or was that Max?

Brendan goes upstairs and finds a puzzle.

Brendan: I hate these...

Brendan solves the puzzle and looks through a shelf and finds an Entry.

2/7

I finally found the man of my dreams! I can't wait to be married to him. I won't be lonely anymore.

I can't believe my dreams came true but I made a promise to exchange my child for eternal love.

Brendan: Doesn't sound good. Sounds like occult business. I hope the child wasn't harmed.

Suddenly Brendan feels a pain.

Brendan: Ow it hurts... It hurts so much... Why does it hurt?
The pain grows more intense.

Brendan: Stop! Leave me alone!
Brendan looks like he was about to cry but suddenly he says something strange.

Brendan: Don't take my child away I beg of you!

?: Mommy!

Suddenly Brendan goes insane.

Brendan: Tch... gnhhhghhh...hhhh...h...ha..haaaaa

Brendan's painful expression turns into a twisted smile.

Brendan: I'll kill all of you. I'll kill you! I... will...kill...you!

Brendan has really lost it.

Brendan: I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

Brendan breathes heavily...

Brendan: Kill...Kill...Kill... Haaaaa... You will pay... You... will... pay...

Well did you like? Took me a couple of days to write but it was all worth it!
