Chapter 2 - TUSSLES OF TROUBLES

As they explore, they come across a secret door hidden behind a bookcase. When they open the door, they find a long, dark staircase leading down into the earth. So, they carefully make their way down the stairs, their footsteps echoing in the darkness. When they reach the bottom, they find themselves in a large, empty chamber. The only thing in the chamber is a pedestal in the center, upon which sits a large, old book. The cover of the book is blank, but when they open it, they find strange symbols inside. And just as they start to try to figure out what the symbols mean, they hear a strange, deep rumbling sound from somewhere in the room.Suddenly, the wall behind the pedestal begins to slide open, revealing another dark passageway. As the wall slides open, they hear a low growling sound from the passageway. The growling gets louder and louder, and then they see a pair of glowing red eyes in the darkness.Terrified, they turn and run back up the stairs, taking them two at a time. They burst out of the secret door and slam it shut behind them. As they catch their breath, they hear the growling sound fading away in the distance. Their hearts are racing, and they're both shaking with fear.After a few minutes, they calm down enough to feel brave enough to investigate further. They slowly open the secret door again and peek inside. The chamber is completely empty, with no sign of the book or the passageway. They're not sure if what they saw and heard was real, or if it was just their imagination. But they can't shake the feeling that something is off about this house.

As they're standing in the secret room, debating what to do next, they hear a strange creaking sound coming from the floorboards above their heads. The creaking sound gets louder and louder, and then suddenly a huge, heavy chandelier crashes down from the ceiling, barely missing them as it smashes into the floor. A bit shaken from the chandelier crashing down. They look around the room, trying to figure out what's going on. Suddenly, they notice something strange about the walls of the secret room, they notice that the walls are covered in strange symbols. The symbols look like writing, but they don't match any language they've ever seen before. Then, as they're studying the symbols, the walls of the secret room start to shift and change, and the symbols rearrange themselves into new patterns. The patterns on the walls start to form into pictures and images.The shifting walls start to fade, and the images disappear, leaving them in a plain, empty room once again. They feel a cold breeze coming from somewhere, and they hear a low, mournful howling sound coming from the walls. Suddenly, the floor beneath their feet starts to shake and tremble, and then it drops away, leaving them dangling over a dark, bottomless pit. The walls are shaking and cracking, and the room is starting to collapse around them. As the room collapses around them, a bright light shines from the center of the room. The light grows brighter and brighter, until it's blinding. And then, everything goes black. As they open their eyes, Emily finds that she's back in the house, but everything is different. The walls and floor are no longer crumbling, and the room is no longer shaking. She looks at herself and finds that she's... back to normal. But there's something different about her. She feels... stronger, faster, and more aware than before. As she looks at the other person in the room, she realizes that there's no one. As Emily looks around the room, she hears Timber's voice, but she doesn't see her anywhere. The voice seems to be coming from all around her, but there's no sign of Timber but she still feels that Timber is there with her, even though she can't see her. As Emily stands there, trying to figure out what's happening, she suddenly sees a strange light coming from the corner of the room. She walks over to it, and finds that it's a mirror, but not a normal mirror. As she looks into it,she saw both of them.

So, Emily calls out to Timber again, and this time, she hears a response, but it's still just a voice, not a physical presence. The voice says, "I'm right here. Look again." And then, she notices that the mirror is starting to change. The surface of the mirror is swirling and shifting, and then it starts to show an image. When Emily looks into the mirror, she sees herself, and next to her, she sees a shadowy figure that she recognizes as Timber. But when she turns around, the shadowy figure is gone. She looks back into the mirror, and this time, it shows her something else ,the mirror shows her an image of herself and Timber standing side by side. But now, they're both glowing with a bright light, and they seem to be merging together. And then, the light from the mirror starts to spread out, filling the room with a bright, warm light. The light grows brighter and brighter, until it's too bright to look at. And then, everything goes dark.After everything goes dark, Emily finds herself back in the city, standing on a crowded street. The sun is shining, and the city is bustling with activity. As she looks around, she realizes that she's back in her normal life. The strange mirror, the voice of Timber, and the glowing light are all gone. But something feels different. Emily has gained the ability to read people's minds, but she's not able to control it, and it's overwhelming her. She starts to feel like she's losing her mind, and she doesn't know what to do. As she's standing there, feeling lost and confused, she hears a voice calling her name. She turns around, and sees her best friend. Emily and her friend talked while heading home,Emily was still trying to make sense out of everything that happened hoping that everything will be clearer in the morning.
