The rain poured down relentlessly, the forest surrounding them cloaked in an eerie, suffocating darkness. Their footsteps crunched leaves and twigs, the chill of the air seeping into their bones.
Kairos shoved his hands into his pockets, eyes fixed on the decaying mansion up ahead. His dark hair stuck to his forehead from the rain, but he didn’t care. The mansion's presence felt like a whisper in his ear, luring him closer.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
'Why am I feeling so drawn to this place? It’s like... it’s calling me.'
Zane Blackwood (Kairos’s Brother)
(Bounced beside him, grinning like a child handed free candy.)
Zane Blackwood (Kairos’s Brother)
“Hey, Kai, you feeling it too? This place gives off serious ghost-vibes!”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
“More like it reeks of death and mold.”
Zane Blackwood (Kairos’s Brother)
“Come on, be a little excited! Isn’t this what you live for?” (＾▽＾)
Kairos scoffed, though a slight smirk tugged at his lips. His brother was the only one who could get away with teasing him.
Mason Carter(Mc Colleague)
(Rolled eye) “This is a waste of time. Just another creepy old house for you guys to gawk at.”
Mason, his so-called “colleague” and skeptic of the group.
Ethan, the calmest of the bunch, adjusted his glasses and stared at the mansion thoughtfully.
Ethan Cole (Mc Colleague)
“No. This place... It feels different. There’s something here, something restless.”
Izzy and Noah exchanged worried glances. Isabelle’s hand tightened around Noah’s, their fingers interlocked as if drawing strength from each other.
Noah Reyes (Mc Colleague)
“I-I can’t see properly. Everything’s... blurry.”
Izzy Rivera (Mc Colleague)
“It’s okay. We’ll stick together.”
Kairos’s gaze swept over his team. He knew some of them hated his guts. Mason for one, never let him forget it.
But this expedition was different. His instincts screamed danger, but also... something more. Something pulling him in.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
“Alright, we didn’t come all this way to chicken out. Let’s get inside.”
Dorian’s voice interrupted his thoughts, smooth and sharp like a knife’s edge.
Dorian 'Dori'
“Be careful, Kairos. Curiosity can be a deadly thing.”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
(Eyed him suspiciously.)
Dorian had joined their group recently and despite his friendly demeanor, something about him was off. What the hell is he hiding?
They trudged up the broken steps and pushed open the rotting doors. The air was thick with a suffocating stench, the shadows dancing with every flicker of their flashlights.
A shiver ran down Kairos’s spine. The mansion’s silence wasn’t just emptiness. It was a predator’s stillness, watching, waiting.
Zane Blackwood (Kairos’s Brother)
“Dude, it’s freezing in here.”
Mason Carter(Mc Colleague)
“That’s called being inside a stone-cold building, genius.”
Ethan Cole (Mc Colleague)
“No. This is something else.”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
(Narrowed his eyes. His chest tightened with an unexplainable sensation.)
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
'Why does it feel like I’m being... welcomed?'

The forest loomed ahead, shadows weaving through twisted branches like dark veins. Leaves crunched underfoot as Kairos led the group with his usual confident stride, though his eyes held a hint of impatience.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
“Stop dragging your feet, Mason. If you’re scared, turn back.” ( ｀Д´)
Mason Carter(Mc Colleague)
“Scared? Please. I’m just trying not to break my ankle on this damn terrain.” f(^_^)
Ethan Cole (Mc Colleague)
“Relax, guys. We're here to explore, not argue.”
Zane Blackwood (Kairos’s Brother)
(Zane snickered, playfully nudging Kairos.)
Zane Blackwood (Kairos’s Brother)
“You’re as grumpy as ever, brother. Excited about this spooky mansion?”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
“Excited’s not the word. Just... curious.” Or maybe something else. Something’s pulling me there.
They reached the iron gates of the abandoned mansion. Its gothic architecture loomed against the stormy sky, decayed yet proud. Vines snaked across cracked walls, and the air was heavy with something Kairos couldn’t name.
Noah Reyes (Mc Colleague)
“I-I can’t be the only one feeling this, right? Like...we shouldn’t be here.” 😣
Izzy Rivera (Mc Colleague)
“You’re right. This place feels... wrong. But we need to see what’s inside. Something’s waiting.”
Mason scoffed but looked uncomfortable. Ethan scanned the area, eyes sharp and calculating.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
'What is this? This feeling... like someone’s watching. Not just watching. Waiting.'
The front doors creaked open with a push. The air inside was cold, stale, yet something electric crawled over Kairos’s skin.
Dorian 'Dori'
“This place is magnificent. Hidden history is the most thrilling.”
Mason Carter(Mc Colleague)
“You’d call this dump magnificent?” 🤨🤨
Dorian only smirked, his eyes sweeping over the darkness like he could see something the others couldn’t.
As they ventured deeper, the temperature dropped. Kairos felt it — a presence. Lingering. Watching. A whisper danced through his ears, like a lover’s sigh.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
(Eyes widened.)
He spun around, but only saw his friends arguing over which room to search first.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
'What the hell was that? Was it the curse acting up again?'
They split up, each person going to explore different areas of the mansion. As Kairos walked into a room, the door slammed shut behind him. His heart raced.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
“Who's there?”
The air thickened. A chill wrapped around his neck like icy fingers, and he swore he heard something, something but what?
Right a chuckle, that give a chill to him.
Kairos stumbled back, his breath coming out in shallow gasps. He pressed his back to the wall, eyes darting through the darkness.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
[Am I... really losing my mind?]
This place... It’s calling me

The team walks deeper into the mansion, their footsteps echoing on the creaky wooden floor. The air is thick with the scent of decay and something else... something cold and sinister.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
(Scanning the darkness) “This place feels... different.”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
'Like something’s watching me. It’s not the usual creepiness.'
Dorian 'Dori'
“You’re saying that like it’s a good thing.”
Dorian 'Dori'
(Chuckles lightly) “But I agree. Something’s definitely off.”
Izzy Rivera (Mc Colleague)
(Nervously clinging to Noah’s arm) (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ “Can we just get this over with? My skin’s crawling.”
Noah Reyes (Mc Colleague)
“Yeah, babe. But we’re not turning back now. We came for answers, remember?”
Dorian 'Dori'
(Raising an eyebrow)🤨 “Answers? Or just a cheap thrill?”
Leo Carter
“Everyone, focus. We need to document the areas properly. Kairos, you lead. Since you’re the... specialist.”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
⚆_⚆ “Specialist, huh?” .”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
More like the cursed freak, right? (Nods, moving ahead) “Sure. Let’s go
They reach a grand staircase. Dust dances in the air as if alive. Kairos feels an icy sensation grazing his arm. His eyes widen, his heart skipping a beat.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
'What the... Something just touched me.' (ʘᗩʘ')
Dorian 'Dori'
“You okay, Kai?”:
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
(¬_¬) (Eyes scanning the empty hallway) “Yeah. Just... felt something weird. Keep moving.”
As they continue, strange whispers seem to follow them. Izzy swears she sees shadows moving in the corners of her eyes. Kairos feels the pull again, stronger this time, drawing him towards a corridor no one dares to approach.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
(Muttering) [This place... It’s calling me.]
Leo Carter
(Listen what kai said)👂 “What was that?”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
“Nothing. Just thinking out loud.”
Noah Reyes (Mc Colleague)
(Voice tight with nervousness)😖 “If you’re done thinking, let’s just do our job and get out of here.”
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
(-_-) Job? This isn’t just a job. This place wants me here.
They enter what looks like a grand living room. The chandelier above them sways slightly even though the air is still. Kairos can’t take his eyes off the shadowed corner, where the darkness almost feels... alive.
Dorian 'Dori'
😁 (Grinning) “Anyone else feel like they’re being hunted?”
Izzy Rivera (Mc Colleague)
(Already scared the hell out)“Please don’t say that.”😨
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
He’s not wrong.
Kairos Blackwood (MC)
(Smirked) 😏 But it’s not hunting me... It’s waiting.
