Here you go, another chappie! :D I got nothing to say, so enjoy!


Until 1:11 AM

The gang split up. Mika and Takuro went upstairs, Naoki and Takeshi walked to the basement, and Hiroshi started by the right hallway.

Hiroshi opened the first door on his path and opened it. The first thing his eyes met was two extremely tall bookshelves. He advanced farther in the room to realize it was a library. There was a table on the bottom left corner with a chair next to it. The teen walked toward it when he noticed a single paper on the wooden table. It was clear that something was written on it, but the writing seemed to have faded over time. Hiroshi walked in the big room with no big interest until he reached the back wall. He looked at his right, and then at his left, but only saw darkness and a couple of worn out books. He turned away and headed out of the room.

He walked to the next door and opened it. He took a couple of steps farther to see his surroundings. He distinguished a table with chairs around, something that looked like a counter on his left, and a pale mass he didn't recognize. Hiroshi walked toward the counter and noticed there was a cup on it. He suddenly felt the urge to look in it. He stretched his neck and approached his candle. He backed away when he saw movement in the cup. He preferred focusing on something else, which were the cupboards behind him and the sink.

He opened the cupboards and looked in it with the candle's faint light. He wasn't interested by the cupboard's content, but it was a way to kill time. As he expected, they were all empty. He opened the last one but immediately closed it when he heard a light and quick sound followed by a movement at the back of the cupboard.

"Nope," he let out as he was taking a small step back.

He decided to let anything similar to a cupboard alone. He had no idea why he was surprised, though; it must have been decades since no one entered this mansion, so it was normal for other life forms to get comfortable in here. He also decided to not disturb the unofficial inhabitants, since he was the one invading the space.


Takuro and Mika were walking on the second floor with their candle in one hand. They were quite surprised to see there were some beds in the rooms.

"Are you sure it was a good idea to come in an old mansion like this one?" asked Mika, "The place is all worn out."

Takuro glanced at a loose wallpaper and then back at her.

"I agree it's not the best place if we talk about safety, but where else could we have done it? All of our parents are at home."

"At…school?" she replied randomly.

"Ah, I found my greatest fear, now!" he exclaimed, "It's being at school during weekends!"

Mika giggled and opened a door. The first thing they noticed was the pale floor. Mika walked forward in the room until she met with a big object. Takuro soon joined her and looked at the big black mass too.

"Is that…a grand piano?" asked Takuro.

"Yeah, it is."

He raised a brow.

"Okay, that's official; the former owner was dumb."

Mika gave him a curious look.

"I might not be an expert in pianos," he said, "but I could bet this was worth at least four hundred at the time! Letting the piano there just like that is plain stupid."

"Maybe the former owner didn't care about money," said Mika with a shrug.

She walked in front of the keys and pressed one. The piano made a loud distorted sound, which made Takuro blench.

"What was the point of that!?" he asked, obviously startled.

"Uuh…see if it still worked?" she finally said with a grin, realizing it was the first time she ever startled Takuro.

He lightly shook his head and joined her in front of the keys. When he saw her smirk, he immediately knew she had just gotten an idea.

"What is it now?" he let out, not sure if he should trust her on that one.

She got her fingers on the key again and started to play Ganon's theme. Takuro scoffed and grabbed her by the hips, resting his head on her shoulder.

"You really are something, eh?"


Hiroshi sighed when he walked back in the main hall. He had just explored all the rooms on this floor and, so far, it was boring. Of course, he didn't expect any ghost to show up, but he did expect Naoki waiting somewhere around here to scare him. It seemed like he was having fun in the basement, for now. Good, he didn't feel like babysitting a complaining Naoki. He really sounded like a child sometimes. Hiroshi could already hear him trailing his feet whining Hiroshi, I'm booooored. He quickly looked at the time on his cellphone. He grunted, knowing he could have been sleeping in his bed after reading a book at the moment. Instead, he was walking pointlessly in a mansion for a non-existing Midnight man. Hiroshi returned in the library and closed the door behind him. Well, if he wanted a book, he had a vast choice. He could read until the night was over. Yes, that would be a good idea. He just had to be careful with his candle to not put the old pages on fire or anything similar.

He browsed through the bookshelves and picked up a random book. He sat on the chair and put his candle on the table before opening the book. The game said he had to move around to not get caught by the midnight man. He'd maybe go at the other side of the room and come back to the table. He would move, the rules didn't say he had to go in a different room anyway.

Midnight man, ha!

"Ridiculous…" he completed quietly before he started reading.


Naoki was looking at various objects in a bookshelf when he heard a scream. It sounded just like Takeshi. He exited the room and jogged back in the basement's main room. Takeshi was looking around at the other side. The blonde teen swung open the door before he realized Naoki was there.

"You're alright, there?" asked Naoki.

"Wait, I should be the one asking you that!"

"Um…weren't you screaming?" said Naoki, raising a brow.

"I thought it was you."

The boys looked at each other silently for a moment before Naoki shrugged.

"Maybe Hiroshi screamed. Can't wait to see him run in here crying like a baby!" he added with a smirk.

Takeshi chuckled.

"That would be a very funny scene," he admitted.

The boys snickered imagining Hiroshi entering stuttering g-g-g-ghost before they both went back in Naoki's part of the basement to look around a little more.


Mika noticed something shiny on the floor. She picked it up and realized it was a watch. It seemed to be the expensive kind; a bit like Takuro's.

"Hey, Taku, look what I found!" she said, raising the watch next to her candle's flame.

She looked around but didn't see his candle.

"Taku?" she called out.

He was surely trying to scare her. She held her breath and listened carefully. Takuro was a loud breather, so if he was in the room, she would hear him very easily. The room suddenly turned cold. She felt heavy breathing down her neck and a freezing thing touch her cheek.


So, there you go, I had sudden inspiration and my fingers typed all of it by themselves. I'm proud of you, fingers! :D

Now, guest (Maybe Anonymous? Your review sounded like him/her), I think the first person is just not my type of writing. I do less mistakes when I write at the third person. I could write Unknown Tale at the third person, but...there's something at the end and it can't happen if I write at the third person. You seem to have forgotten about the gang telling their fears and Takeshi telling the legends; it counts in the 58 minutes ;) and when Takeshi's telling a legend, you're in for a quite long ride... XD They didn't prick their fingers with the same needle. I just didn't put the "their" because I thought there would be way too much "their"s in the sentence.

So, please leave a review and see you in the next chapter!
