"Hello? Is anyone here?"
Iris held her breath as she waited for someone to answer her but she waited for nothing. The noises stopped and were replaced with an eerie silence. She knew that someone was there. Someone was watching her and she was quite sure about it because the hair on her arms was standing in pure dread.
She stood at the threshold of the kitchen and slowly scanned the room. There was nothing amiss except for the strange noises that she heard a while ago and the pounding of her heart. The room didn't look like something was wrong with it. It was the same as it usually looks, she thought to herself but she was not so sure since she didn't usually come here. Her place in this mansion is in the basement.
"Hello?"
"What are you doing?"
Iris jumped in surprise and spun around to find Monette, staring at her as though she had lost her mind.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, pushing her away as she walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.
