There they were, finally infront of this ever mysterious castle.
Forthwith,they ended up entering the palace right after opening the rickety,wooden door.
The room was brimmed with dust and cobwebs, and broken chairs and tables were scaterred everywhere. Curtains were ripped, white cloths were spilled. It was undoubtedly nothing, compared to an evergreen palace!!
Shawn along with his friends were right under a huge old fashioned crytal chandelier . They fascinately gazed at that masterpiece. Margaux, couldn't wait to take pictures while Shawn was already engaged in his mission.
They soon ended up parting ways.
While visiting the palace, Shawn could hear faint and indistinct noises upstairs. Intrigued, he moved up to look into the matter. The more he approached the more it got easier for him to identify the sound...Soon, he was able to recognise a voice. It was that of a woman, singing pityfully. Shawn kept on approaching until he finally made up to the room where the sound was coming.
He opened the door and found himself face to face with a woman dressed in white attire along with briskly and dishevelled hair as she played her piano.
" Excuse me. Who are you? What are you doing in this abandonned palace?" No response.
" Actually my friends and I...uh...we looked forward upon coming here to unveil the truth behind this castle."
Still no response.
" Are you here for the same purpose? Hello! Can you hear me?" asked Shawn sceptically
" Oh my boy! You're finally here!! We've been waiting for you for so long. But you know what, i didn't give up. I was certain that you'll surely come", answered the lady
"W-- w--what? Do we know each other? Can you please clarify...i don't get it", added Shawn
*no answers*
" Hello! Can you hear me?"
*no response as well*
Shawn moved towards the lady hesitantly, his heart could be heard pounding in his chest.
*Footsteps*
The moment he closed in to have a word with the lady, he was dumbstruck. Such disastrous figure, yellow teeth,oddly shaped face and unhealthy hair!!! She can barely be described as a real human figure.
The lady grinned at Shawn saying menacingly... "you won't be spared". And disappeared on the spot.
Shawn screamed, screamed and screamed running without even glancing at the back and in search of his friends.
" Guys, we can't stay here anymore. The rumours have been confirmed!This is a haunted place. Let's move from here or else we're going to get killed!",shouted Shawn hysterically.
Soon after , he could notice a white blazing light appearing infront of him. He could imagine the palace in a good state. People were gathered all around for a feast. Everybody was jovial. They could be seen interacting heartedly.
Shawn stared at the vision for a few seconds and was suddenly patted by Richard on the back.
By the time he turned ,everthing vanished and he was back to reality.
"What's wrong with you dude? Why are you screaming? Have you lost your senses?",asked Richard
"Richard,listen to me, we need to get out of here! This place is haunted!! Please understand", launched Shawn
" Are you serious? I didn't feel anything of this sort?How can you you say that?", added Richard
* Shivers*
" Okay fine! Let's move. Look at you ! You're so stressed. First let's go get our mates", launched Richard.
They both went on for the search of their friends while Shawn narrated the whole incident to Richard. Shortly ,they were both engaged in chattering when Shawn noticed something strange. They were walking beside each other when soon after, Shawn noticed an old, derelict mirror. He asked Richard to have a look at it. They ended up contemplating themselves when... Shawn noticed that he could hardly see Richard through it!
He turned back rigorously!
"What happened? Can't you see me through it? Well...i don't think i am normal, am I ?", asked Richard with a machiavellic grin.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! God! Help meeeee...
Shawn was sweating profusely...panting...his rib cage reafy to explode.
