Rin walked into the kitchen to see her brother, Len sitting at the table. He looked up, and smiled at her.
"Look at this! A haunted house! It says 5 people have already gone missing exploring it, and 2 of them have been confirmed dead."
Rin blinked, and grabbed the paper he had been reading while eating breakfast. He peeled another banana, and began to eat while Rin read.
"So there is! I bet you that the phone will ring any minute, to tell us to go investigate."
Just as she finished this sentence, the phone ran.
"Hey! I'm good! Go get it Len." Len rolled his eyes, and got the phone.
Moments later, he came back.
"You were right! The mayor wants us to go investigate tonight, after dark. So that's at…" Len looked at the clock on the wall, which also stated when the sun went up and down. "6 o'clock. We will then have until about half 8 tomorrow to work it out."
Rin grimaced at the though of hafting to go into a haunted mansion.
"Aww, is Rin-Rin scared? Don't worry, big brother Lenny will be there to keep you safe" He laughed when Rin went bright red at being called her childhood nickname.
"H-h-hey! Don't call me that!" She hit the back of his head, possibly a little too hard, and his face flung down onto the table, flattening the remainder of his breakfast (Bananas and bananas on toast) beyond eatable. He sat up with it plastered to his face, and turned to see Rin smirk, grab an orange out of the fruit basket, and flounce out of the room.
Later in the day, they both got ready to leave. They got into the car, and drove the half-hour trip to the old mansion in top of the hill.
It was magnificent. Very gothic, with many towers and elaborate designs and gargoyles. With the forest all around, and then a sharp drop off the hill into the sea, it was a perfect setting for a horror novel.
"Here we are!" Len jumped out of the car, and slammed the door. Rin followed him, and smirked.
"This will be fun." She said, and walked to the door.
"Hey, Rin! Look over there! Who has a graveyard in the garden?" Len pointed to the right side of the huge building, where the graves of at least 20 people stood. Two were more elaborate then the others, and they went down in quality, until there was just one slab of stone. He walked over to it.
"Rinna K. Died 13 December 1857, age 14. Murdered by knife." Rin went pale as she read it. She had almost the same name as her.
"So she must have been a maid. She certainly wasn't one of the family, because all of the other ones have the same surname. The most decorated ones must have been the lord and lady, and the next close relatives, such as uncles aunts and cousins, then there children who had grown up, then the little children, then there is Rinna."
"So its in order of importance?" Rin looked at the slab of stone again, and shuddered.
"Yep, looks like it! They were all murdered as well. All of the ones apart from Rinna and one of the big ones that belongs to the lord all drowned. He was poisoned."
"Hey Len! Look, look!" She pointed to the trees. There was another gravestone, but it was much further away from all of the others. It was a slab of stone, like Rinna's, but it had some carvings on it.
The two walked over, and read it.
"Lenny K. Died 14 December 1857, age 14. Cause of death unknown." Len paled like Rin had at the name similarity.
"They must have been related. Anyway, read this!" She pointed to a carving on the left-hand corner of the stone.
It read: Your next.
"Must be someone trying to scare us. Anyway, lets go inside!"
Rin nodded, and followed Len back to the front door. He knocked twice out of politeness, and then opened the door.
It was as elaborate inside as it was outside. There were sheets over the furniture, but even with them you could see the carved wood and metal. There were paintings of the lord and lady on the wall. It was beautifully decorated. The door slammed shut by itself, making the twins both jump.
"Lets explore then." Len switched on the flashlight, and shone it round.
A ghostly face appeared by the window.
Rin jumped, and clung onto her brother's arm. He flashed the light onto the window, but the face was gone.
"Come on, Rin! Be serious about this!" Len said, and turned around. Rin blushed out of embarrassment.
They walked up the main stairs, and into a young girls room. There were many dolls on a shelf. Rin looked at them all. One was a girl, with faded turquoise hair tied into bunches. Rin smiled to herself, and made up a quick story in her head about the doll being a world-famous singer.
They left the room, and carried on round. They came to a few more room, mostly little children's rooms, but there were some more 'mature' rooms, made for older children and adults. They came to the kitchen, which the discovered a set of knives, left out.
