"So Hee-chan, you finally decide to come with us" Duo said cheerfully. "I never knew that a girl's heart had the power to change you" he continued and smiled to him.
Heero looked over at him and stared briefly with his icy blue eyes. "Whoa, man calm down I'm just joking with you"
"Are we done yet?" Wufei asked impatiently. For the first time since they left on the trip he spoke. "If so let's get on with the tour"
"Yes I'm done. We can go now" Relena said to him. They walked out of the hallway to the main entrance.
As they walked out, Relena remembered that she read that a cemetery was also nearby. She explained to the group that it had the graves of the former owners of the house and their families.
"Cool. Maybe we can check it out later." Duo said. Quatre looked at him with a slightly weird face. He was always in to dead related stuff. He wanted to ask him if he was necrophilic but decided not to because he didn't want to be rude.
As soon as they set foot outside of the hallway the lights turned off. Eerie darkness fell on the mansion.
"What happened" Trowa asked. Duo who had brought a flashlight out of naïve thinking turnrd it on. But he being serious.
"Is there someone else in this house?" Heero asked Relena. "No. It's just us-. But then the all large windows on the right and left walls cracked. Some had strong winds brake through.
"Relena, you did get the new windows placed in and get a small power plant installed right?" Quatre asked almost scared by the cracks' screeching sharp noise. He remembered that when she bought the place it was in need of repairs.
"Yes of course I did" she said confused. She didn't know why what was going was going on. "We won't be able to do anything even if we have that small flashlight with us" she said to everyone. Maybe we can try and figure this stuff out tomorrow morning. Duo, could you lead the way back?"
"Oh alright" he said. His tone indicated that he was disappointed about not being able to tour. They slowly walked back being careful not to hit anything since they were covered by darkness and Duo's small flashlight was their only means of sight.
Relena walked with the gang back to the bedrooms. When she got to her own door and opened it, she was surprised to see her windows broken. And the room was cold too from the violent wind coming in. Her luggage was also all over the room from winds. She immediately went back to the almost pitch black environment and shouted "Hey! My windows are broken!" Everyone came out as they heard her.
"So are mine!" Duo said coming up to her. And everyone else also said that their's was just as well. Heero was the last one to come.
"There's someone else in this mansion" he stated.
"Can you explain?" Trowa asked him.
"Did you notice how the way the luggage was all over the room?" Heero began. "The belongings were everywhere. I didn't remember that wind could enter something like this and make the things go in all kinds of directions. That is if the winds could somehow change direction which it can't."
"I guess you're right" Wufei nodded in agreement. Relena was starting to feel scared seeing the way things are now. Even just being in this very house gave her the creeps.
She was going to call the police first thing in the morning she told herself. "Well we can't sleep with the winds coming in. I don't want go look all over the house in the dark to find a room I think we should find a room nearby and we all should share it"
"I think I saw a room over there. The one across from Heero's room" Quatre said trying to point in the dark. So they went inside. For some reason, everything in that room was orderly. But calling it orderly would seem weird as there was nothing at all the room. And the window was still standing.
"I think this is where we'll have to stay" Trowa pointed out.
"I'm going to sleep alone" Wufei said and left for the door.
"Hey are you sure? Something can happen to you" Duo tried to warn but was ignored. The door was slammed shut in Duo's face.
"Asshole...sorry for caring" Duo cursed.
In the darkness Wufei walked alone back to his own room. He didn't need a flashlight to see. He learned how to sense his way through during his martial arts training. In fact he could practically see. But then at the end of the hallway, he saw a shadow of someone holding a lantern on the wall. But the shadow disappeared and the light too. Startled that someone else's presence was here other than his and his companions, he rushed to the spot where he saw the shadow. But there was no trace of anyone.
"Hey! Trespasser! Where are you!" he shouted. A few moments later he felt that someone was behind him. He turned around. But he saw nothing. Even so, that presence was still there. He could feel it.
Trowa was trying to sleep on the cold floor when his ears picked up something that sounded like screaming. And someone hitting something with a hard object. He realized that the voice sounded like Wufei's. Alerted, he got up.
"Wufei's in trouble!" he had said loudly and also for the first time anyone could remember him speaking that loudly. Quickly, Duo, Quatre, Heero, and Relena rushed following Trowa's lead. They ran to where Wufei was a minute ago. What they saw was horrifying.
Relena dropped her mouth in great shock. Unable to look at the site, she put her face on Heero's chest willingly. Everyone else was very surprised. Dead surprised. Trowa, who was able to stay calm the most walked over to the numerous blood stains that covered the walls and floor. They were wet and at least about the size of an apple each too. Touching some of the wet blood on his finger he put it near his nose and sniffed it carefully.
"It smells like real blood. That's for sure" he said.
