At the sound of her scream, Torodoki and Bakugou quickly came rushing over to where she was. Bakugou had his hands ready to cause an explosion while Torodoki had his left hand engulfed in flames. When they arrived, Breya was on the ground, shaking profusely, tears were sliding down her face. They calmed down slightly, however, they were still on edge as they got over to Breya's side with Bokugou on her right and Torodoki on her left.
"What the fuck's wrong?" Bakugou demanded angrily, as he followed her line of sight.
Torodoki frowned as he noticed the tape recorder still playing, slowly and cautiously he approached it, picking it up and turned it off before turning to Breya,
"What happened, Cervantes?" Torodoki asked, taking in her fearful state.
Breya didn't respond as she slowly picked herself up off the ground before approaching the tatami closet. With her flashlight, Breya slowly began to peek into the closet, when she didn't see anyone in there she began to back away only for a hand to reach out and grab her. Her eyes widened a scene began to play out in her mind:
A darked haired man quickly entered the room, fear coursed through his veins as he quickly scanned the room. He could see the tatami closet nearby, running on adrenaline he quickly ripped open the closet and climbed in. Quickly he closed the door leaving only a crack for him to see if she was coming. He panted heavily, when the woman came into view he quickly scooted to the back of the closet. His breath got even heavier as the woman suddenly appeared in front of the crack and the door slowly began to open. Once the door was opened completely, he fear took over his body as he let out a scream of terror as he felt the hands over him and began to pull him apart.
Breya let out a scream as she pulled herself away from the closet and allowed herself to sink to the floor her hands over her ears as she allowed her head to lower to the floor. Tears streamed down her face, she could still hear the man's scream of terror and how his flesh was pulled apart, the sounds echoed through her head. Breya took several deep breaths, eventually she stopped the tears from falling down her cheeks, wiping away the remaining tears, as she stands back up with shaky breaths.
"What the fuck!? What fucking happened!?" Bakugou yelled out at her.
"Cervantes, are you alright? You shouldn't have opened that closet without either myself or Bakugou checking it first," Torodoki chimed in with a slightly scolding tone as he pulls out a small handkerchief from his pocket and hands it to her.
Breya took it from him, using it to whip her eyes before she replies weakly," I am fine. When we get out of here I'll wash this and return it to you."
"Cervantes-" Torodoki started to speak, however, he was cut off by Bakugou yelling,
"Cer-Freak you better fucking start explaining what the hell that was!?"
"It's nothing, Tsundere-Kun…" Breya replies as she turns around, taking instant notice to the door that was once closed was now wide open,
Ignoring Bakugou's yelling and Torodoki's concern look Breya turns to face the two before asking them,
"Did one of you open that door?"
This caused both of them to blink confusion before Torodoki responds back with discomfort etched into his features,
"No we didn't."
Breya could feel the coldness that she felt begin to become more prominent as she turned her attention to the tape recorder in Torodoki's hand.
"May I see that? It appears to be a recording." Breya asked as she pointed to the recorder.
Torodoki blinks before realizing that he still had the old device in his hand, reluctantly he hands her the recorder, taking it from him Breya presses the rewind button before pressing the play button:
September 9th - 5:40pm
The mansion was nowhere to be seen on the map, so we finally had to ask the locals how to find it. They told us that Himuro Mansion had been empty for several decades now. The same ones that told us where it was also warned us not to come here, which was quite disconcerting.
Once the tape ended, Breya frowned no realizing that this mansion was the same one that she was warned about when she was younger.
"That fucking guy sounded like a lifeless extra," Bakugou grumbled his face was shifted into one of annoyance.
"Himuro Mansion... I feel as if I heard that name before…" Torodoki spoke thoughtfully before turning his attention to Breya.
He frowned when he saw that Breya seemed to have become a paler version of her caramel colored skin. However, he didn't get the chance to ask her what was wrong when Bakugou walked over to her and growled out,
"Whatever your fucking problem is. Get the fuck over it Cer-Freak! Let's go you quirkless extra!"
Breya flinched slightly at that, as she turned to face away from them and began to walk over to the newly opened door. The first thing that came into view was a large kimono that was hanging on what appeared to be a large wooden rack. As soon as Breya stepped into the room she looked to her right, she instantly noticed that there was something to the right and went to it, which allowed Torodoki and Bakugou to follow her in. Once again she found another thing of 'Herbal Medicine' which caused Bakugou to growl out in annoyance before turning and walking down the other direction.
Just as Breya finished putting up the medicine, she returns to see Torodoki waiting for her, however just as she pasts a crack in between the man once more. As Breya walked past Torodoki and began to head over to where Bakugou was standing, he was inspecting what appeared to be a small dresser of some kind. Upon closer inspection, they notice that something seems missing from it. Breya turns around to see something upon the ground near the window that was within the room.
Bakugou and Torodoki followed close behind her as soon as they noticed that she was beginning to wonder off once more. When they got near, a voice instantly echoed through the room,
"Hey,"
This caused all three of them to freeze, Breya instantly began to feel the room grow colder as she slowly turned around to see who spoke.
"Who the fuck is there!?" Bakugou yelled out as explosions began to emanate from his hand, his red eyes began to scan the room.
Torodoki also allowed his right hand and arm to become engulfed in ice as they began to search to see who had spoken. It was then they heard the sound of what sounded like a door locking and footsteps walking toward them. Breya could feel her heart rate increase as she made her flashlight search around the room. It was then that Breya, noticed the man at the end of the Kimono racks, she let out a slightly fearful whimper as she backed away until her back hit the window.
Bakugou was the first one to see what Breya was looking at and his eyes widened slightly before he yelled out,
"Who the fuck are you!?"
When he didn't respond, Torodoki watched wearily as the man continued to walk toward them, his head was cast downward so they couldn't see his face. It wasn't until he was in between the two, when he raised his head, his eyes were completely blank and his mouth showed nothing, but blackness and rope marks were etched onto his wrist. Bakugou and Torodoki instinctively attacked, Torodoki released an ice barrage while Bakugou released a series of large blasts. However both attacks went through him, causing the two heroes in training to dodge each other's attacks.
"What the fuck, you icy hot bastard!?" Bakugou yelled out, however he noticed the Torodoki was just as surprised as he was. Breya let out whimper, unable to move as the man continued to walk toward her with his arms raised outward,
"Help me… Help me." He moaned out painfully.
Bakugou and Torodoki yelled out simultaneously,
"Move Cervantes/Idiot!"
It was too late the man had his hands wrapped around her neck, she could feel her body become icy cold and she felt like her life force was draining from her body. She instinctively began to struggle from his grip, thankfully, she managed to get him to release his grip on her. Breya falls to the floor and quickly moves out of the way just as Bakugou and Torodoki let out another barrage of ice and explosions. Breya could see that their attacks weren't working, unsure of what to do, she gripped the camera with shaky hands as she slowly picked herself up off the ground and raised the camera up to her face. Just as soon as the man once again began to charge her moaning the same line over and over.
In the viewfinder, Breya could see that on the bottom began to light up as the man came closer. Suddenly, she could see that it became the orange just as the man began to charge once more at her. Quickly, she pressed the shutter button taking a picture causing the man to let out a howl of pain before he suddenly became a blue orb and shattered. Breya put the camera down, before sliding down the wall once more utterly petrified at what had just happened. As soon as she landed on her bottom, Bakugou and Torodoki rushed over to her side and began to ask her questions.
"What the fuck happened!? What the hell was that?" Bakugou yelled his red eyes alight with anger.
"Are you alright, Cervantes?" Torodoki asked as his bi colored eyes scanned her for any signs of injuries.
Breya was silent for a moment before she shakily began to speak," He was a ghost… an angry one that died from whatever happened here."
"There is no such things as fucking ghosts! You wanna try that again Cer-Freak!?" Bakugou responded with skepticism.
Torodoki quickly snapped his eyes to Bakugou, before replied, coolly," And how would exactly explain what just happened? Our quirks had no effect on him."
"It was probably a quirk of his!" Bakugou replied angrily as he looked at Torodoki.
"Then why was it only Cervante's Camera that drove him away?" Torodoki fired back slowly becoming agitated.
Breya ignored the two males that were now beginning to become heated from their argument over whether or not ghosts were real. She quickly began to walk over to where she saw the item from earlier. Breya fell to her knees feeling suddenly exhausted from the encounter. She looked down, staring at the second white that they had found, she pulled out her backpack and pulled out the old recorder. Breya took out the first tape, placing it in one of the inner pockets that were inside and slowly slid the second on inside and pressed play.
September 9th - 9:40pm
It seemed dangerous to walk through the mountain at night, so we decided to spend the night here and continue our work. I've been through several rooms already. Unlike the exterior, the interior is still in quite good shape. A little earlier, I thought I saw a white shadowy figure of a woman in the hallway near the entrance. I'll keep track of such sightings, and publish them in a later account.
Breya frowned as she pressed stop on the tape player before replacing it back into her bag.
"That man… was he the ghost that was here?" Torodoki asked, as he approached Breya, crouching down on her right while Bakugou grunted as he too crouched down as well, but on her left.
Breya glanced at them both before she replied solemnly," It seems so… He was killed here."
This caused both of them to look at her with confusion in their faces, however, Breya simply stood up on shaky legs. Breya cursed herself as she felt her body still feeling weak from when the angry spirit grabbed her throat. Tordoki and Bakugou watched her with skeptical eyes as she began to walk back toward the dresser they were looking at earlier. It was then that Breya began to hear the same loud piercing sound that caused her to flinch, but she walked over to the table that had seemed to be missing something. Raising her camera up, Breya instantly noticed that her camera was reacting to the mirror stand. After snapping a photo of it, a picture exited the bottom of the camera, Breya took the photo and looked at it.
She wasn't surprised that it showed another place, but it did show a familiar mask that was back near the entrance.
"Cervantes?" Torodoki question as he approached her, snapping her out of her trance.
Breya looked over her shoulder at them and said, "The mirror we need is in the room with the samurai armor. We'll need to head back, the mirror we are looking for is under the lion mask."
"How the fuck would you know that!?" Bakugou gritted out as he watched her ignore him and began to limp away toward the door they had entered from.
"We'll need to keep a close eye on her, Bakugou. For some reason, the spirits of this place are targeting her for some reason." Torodoki quietly spoke, glancing at Bakugou who looked at him with an annoyed face.
"No shit. It also looks like her fucking leg is acting up, Fucking weakling." Bakugou grumbled before following her.
Torodoki gave the room one last glance over before he too followed the other two toward the door. All the while a feeling of dread began to slowly cover the entire mansion and soon the spirits would become restless.
(Another chapter done! I hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter. I hope I kept Bakugou and Tordoki in character. Thank you all for reading and a special thank you to Nana for constantly cheering me on!)
