The ghost woman leaps down from the roof, her nails, sharp like claws, aiming at Belle. He leaps backward, dodging the first strike, and brings his axe up in the air, aiming at the ghost woman's head. She disappears at the last second, causing his axe to splinter into the wooden flooring. The woman reappears on the other side of the room, lunging toward Belle.
"Feisty aren't you, but your attack pattern is so predictable." He pulls the axe out of the ground, dodging her strike and spinning the axe around, hitting her with the blunt side of the axe. The ghost woman goes flying across the room and through the wall. He waits for a minute to see if she'll come back, but the temperature in the room returning to normal is a sign that she's gone, for now.
"Looks like she ran away, eh, she'll be back."

"The woman must have led me to this room for a reason, so don't mind if I do!" He chirps, searching around the room. There's an old bed, a desk, a closet with a mirror door, and a dresser. He checks the closet first, only finding old clothes with holes in them. He moves to the bed, checking underneath and feeling inside the pillows. The dresser only has more clothes, so he moves to the desk. He opens the drawers, tapping on the inside, the first and second drawers yield no results, but when he taps on the third one, a hollow noise rings out.
"Aha, found it." He grabs the axe, using the knob of the axe to bust open the hidden drawer. Inside, is a little blue diary covered with stickers of white flowers.
"Let's open it, shall we?"
{whats inside}
{whats it say}
{open it open it}
Belle opens the diary, flipping to the first page.
"Dear Diary, we moved into a new house today, Mom and Dad seem to like it but I miss the old house. They made it up to me by getting me this diary to write in. I don't like diaries that much, but I will write if something interesting happens."
"Dear Diary, something interesting happened. I was playing in the basement when I heard whispering. I thought it was my mom but the voice said his name was Anthony, Anthony and I became friends but Mommy and Daddy said he was not real. I want to show them that Anthony is real, but I don't know how."
"Dear Diary, Anthony told me how to show Mommy and Daddy he was real. All I have to do is draw shapes in the basement. Now Mommy and Daddy will believe me and I can hang out with Anthony whenever I want. I just need to remember where I put my chalk."
"Dear Diary, Anthony lied to me. When I drew the chalk it got cold and Anthony appeared, but he looked scary. I called for help and Daddy came into the basement. Daddy told me to run away, I can hear Daddy calling now, I think he got rid of Anthony."
The passages end there, whoever was writing them had disappeared without a trace.

"Hmm, seems like there's more to this case than meets the eye." He places the diary back in the hidden drawer and steps into the hallway.
"Let's check out the basement next!" Belle starts walking down the stairs, when he gets halfway down, the temperature shifts and he feels a hand grab onto his ankle.
"Shit!"
He loses his balance and starts falling, putting his arms out to stop the fall he flips over again, somehow landing on his feet. He turns around to see a pale little girl with pigtails glaring at him. She disappears before reappearing right in front of him. He takes a step back, forgetting he's on the stairs, and almost trips again, but catches himself in time. The girl reaches out to push him but Belle swings his axe forward. The girl sinks through the stairs before it hits her. Belle feels a hand grab around his ankle again, but this time, he slams the knob of the axe down on the wrist connected to the hand. The hand lets go and Belle runs down the stairs, the temperature returns to normal again and Belle relaxes.
"Geez, that one actually scared me."
{i guess bro is an all-inclusive fighter}
{he really just smacked a child}
{so have we all stopped pretending this is fake}
{fake or real its entertaining to see someone beat ghosts up}
"Right, basement time it is."
He travels past the living room into the hallway between the laundry room and the downstairs bathroom. A door sits at the end of the hallway, the flashlight illuminating it giving it a haunting glow.
[CallmeSleazy Donated $5: is this all real or is it fake?]
"Thanks for donating, and to confirm your suspicions. It's all real, whether you believe me or not is a different story though." Belle answers, reaching his hand out toward the basement door handle. Before he can turn it; however, the temperature rapidly shifts again, and Belle dodges as a hand reaches through the door. A pale man steps out from behind the basement door, wearing a blue button-up and black pants. He rushes forward, aiming a clawed hand at Belle's face, who dodges to the side. The ghost man follows up with a grab but Belle blocks it by swinging his axe at the ghost man's arms. He expects the ghost man to dodge but the blade goes clean through, slicing off his hands. The ghost man stands in shock for a second before he grimaces, kicking out at Belle. He dodges the kick which goes straight through the wall, while Belle is distracted by the bloody hands on the ground the ghost man headbutts him, causing Belle to see stars.
"Crap, that hurt." Belle groans, black spots flashing in and out of his vision as he tightens his grip on the axe, swinging it out where he assumes the ghost man is. He hears the connecting of flesh and a SPLAT noise echoes through the hallway. When he recovers his vision, he spots the ghost man's head on the floor. The ghost man reaches for his head, but upon realizing he can't grab it, he disappears, head and hands going with him.
"Shit, I might have a concussion." Belle reaches up to his head, he feels warmth on his lip and swipes his hand below his nose, bringing it back to reveal blood. He uses his sleeve to wipe the blood away, returning to his previous spot in front of the basement door.
"Okay, now I'm going into the basement." He declares, waiting for a few seconds to see if there are any more challengers. When nobody appears, Belle grabs the door handle and pushes it open.
