Rising. Aethonix The Old house

The Old house

Under the dusky sky, a woman's figure was silhouetted against the faint light of the streetlamps, her footsteps echoing through the stillness.

Shadows emerged from the darkness behind her, swiftly closing in as unseen hands reached out to grasp hers.

Riley

Head back Abi...(facing ahead, didn't bother to turn around)

Avery

I…..I .. Want to join you Lei (stepping forward)

Riley

Not now...(with frosty gaze)

Avery

Come on Riley... You don't have to be like this.

Riley

...(silence)

Avery

You know...we've got your back Riley....you...you don't need to go through this alone. (with a downward glance, she retreated)

Riley drew a deep breath and forge ahead.

Until...

She approached the old house...

Echoes of laughter and warmth seemed to seep from very walls .

Riley

Where are you...mother. ( whispers while touching the broke doorknob)

Riley

Please wait.... I'll come find you...no matter what.(talking to herself)
