Next day, Ren arrived at his sprawling new mansion with luggage in tow, his best friend Draven tagged along.
Stepping out of the car, Draven’s eyes widened at the grand, weathered facade of the estate, a mix of awe and unease flickering across his face.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Dude, this place is massive. 😲
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
*Whistling softly, though his voice carried a nervous edge*
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
But, uh, you know the rumors, right? People say this house is haunted. ╯﹏╰
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*chuckled*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Come on, Draven, don’t be such a scaredy-cat.
(ღゝ◡╹)ノ
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
It’s just an old house, not a horror movie.
As they hauled Ren’s luggage inside, Draven gawked at the towering ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and sweeping staircase, muttering,
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
This is either a fairy tale or a nightmare waiting to happen. (≈චᆽච≈)
Ren, ever the prankster, couldn’t resist. He snuck up behind Draven and let out a loud,
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Woooo!
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
*jumped three feet in the air, clutching his chest* (」ﾟﾛﾟ)｣
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Ren, what the—?!
Σ(っ°Д °; )っ
*yelped, face pale*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*laughing*
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
That’s not funny! ಥ‿ಥ
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*doubled over laughing*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
You’re too easy, man. 😂
They spent the day unpacking and cleaning, the air thick with dust as sunlight poured through tall windows. Ren kept the mood light, teasing Draven by draping a sheet over himself with eyeholes cut out, popping out from corners to make Draven shriek.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Dude, stop it!
*laughed, despite his nerves*
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
You’re gonna give me a heart attack.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Just getting you ready for the mansion’s ‘ghostly vibes’.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*teased, eyes twinkling mischievously*
As the sun set, casting an orange glow over the estate, they finished their work and collapsed onto the grand hall’s couch, exhausted but buzzing with excitement.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Time to celebrate!
♪☆＼(^０^＼) ♪
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*pulled out his phone to order pizza and beer* You in?
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Heck yeah!
Draven replied, his earlier fears easing into the thrill of the moment.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Let’s make this place home. (／^-^)／☆
As they ate, drank, and traded stories, their laughter bounced off the walls, growing rowdier with each beer.
Ren kept up his pranks, making Draven jump with fake ghostly noises, though Draven couldn’t help but laugh along. Still, a faint unease lingered in Draven’s eyes, like he sensed something watching from the shadows.
As the night wore on, the beer and long day took their toll. Sprawled on the couch, Draven mumbled,
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
This place is kinda comfy. *voice slurred*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*smirked, eyes heavy*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Told you it’s a sweet deal. (๑✪ᆺ✪๑)
They drifted into sleep, oblivious to the mansion looming above, its long, ominous shadows stretching in the dim moonlight. For now, the secrets hidden in the darkness stayed just out of reach.
