Fairlawn Manor

Word count: 1043

Edited: yes

Summary: You move to a manor to get away from the busy streets for a job, it was supposed to be a very simple job, take care of the kids is Fairlawn manor, become friends with their oldest son and ask why he dropped out of boarding school and to all do this before the end of summer, so plenty of time to do such little things, so why aren’t you able to do that?

 (This is taken from a random part of MY story)

(based on the Netflix show ‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’ but with my own characters and some storyline ideas)

(all character’s name will be the same except for a few characters that I have added)

 “Why are you here?” you turned to look at the owner of the voice but couldn’t find anyone, though you already had your suspicions on who it was

“What?” you asked hastily trying to find someone before you properly lost your mind and thought that the books are talking.

“Why do you work here?” said the voice again but this time a figure reappearing behind me placing a hand on my shoulder, I suppose it’s, so I don’t run away from the question. “I’ll admit, you are quite young, qualified, ready to take on the world-“ he started but I quickly intervened not wanting this conversation to carry on

“Hey, you are describing yourself as well, young man” I joked “I’m 2 years older than you...” he sighed in annoyance “but stop avoiding the question Miss (Y/n)… you and I both know I won’t tell anyone” he finished

I turned to look at him… I sigh as I look at him. Unfortunately, that’s when things started going downhill because that’s when I see them, standing in the mirror reflecting, beside Paul on each side and my breath hitches in fear, I’ve never known what they were except for the fact that that they were shadowy figures... shadowy figures that were always there, shadowy figures that got me sent to 12 therapy sessions and 1 mental institution, the same shadowy figures that ruined my life . Paul can sense that my tone change and finally realises my shoulder.

I guess that’s when I’m going to have a ‘panic attack’ it’s when my breath starts to quicken and my ears become blurry, to this day I don’t know if it’s from the urge to cry or two : faint. It’s like the whole world is against you, wanting to take you down and watch you suffer, wanting the exploit your insecurities. The worst thing is that no matter where I went or asked there was no cure. in all my therapy sessions it happened, but dear God I don’t want it to happen now.

“Was I over-stepping?” he asked but I don’t pay attention to him, I can feel my hands start to shake ever so slightly, it was stupid to think that he wouldn’t notice, if I’m going to tell the truth here, Paul has always been observant of the little things in life so having a panic attack right now was not ideal if I wanted to keep it hidden.

He looks over his shoulder and notices the mirror before looking back at me, “Miss (Y/n) I’m going to need you to look at me” he said, shifting my chin “I’m not going to ask what’s wrong because I know you’ll lie… you always do” he states and I look into his eyes, his eyes where always a grey colour almost black-ish but I never asked in fear of offending him, or was it  because it always has its own sense of calming me?

“so instead I’ll ask what you want me to do”

“c-cover th-the mirror” I say sniffling in between words “please cover the mirror”  noticing I’m about to cry and instantly wipe my eyes.

And so Paul does it, he grabs he nears cloth of a table and covers it quite quickly might I add I want to thank him, I really do but the look he gives me when he turns back to look at me is full of pity, I thought that if I was going to have this conversation with him, he would show no emotion, simply be blunt, because that’s how it’s always been .

“do you need a-“ started but I stopped him, again “Look Paul, you have been a  dear and everything and thank you for covering the mirror for me...” I must stop to regain my breath, gosh panicking can really make you tired, “ but I really, really just need to go outside for a few minuets” I say slowly backing out of the library

“but- “

“and please, please just don’t tell anyone, please I’m begging you” I pleaded, my voice cracking at the end form my tears I’m am desperately trying to wipe away

“...sorry, your excused” he said picking up his glass of wine and drinking it.

“Its fine, thank you” you said as you scurried of out of the manor. And outside on the porch leaning against one of the statues as you try to calm yourself down. You walk about a bit further and feel eyes on you, in hesitation you turn around and up and there he is, in all his glory starting down from you. You know that one of these days he’s going to ask, for Paul never likes being left in the dark about something... but you stand your ground to send a message that you won’t be pushed around, so you just stare back.

Once again, his piercing grey eyes looking into my eyes, hoping he wouldn’t be able to see into my soul, before a young voice calls out

“Miss (y/n)!!” called out flora as I turn around quite startled “Flora , hello, do you need something?” “you must see my drawings; they are just absolutely splendid!” she calls out again grabbing my hand and dragging me in to the house. ”coming!” I say my voice now steady and ready to take on my job again. But with all this confidence came a quite uncertain voice in the back of my head

‘Oh, no’

New Years Party: Prelude Pt. 1

31/12/2022

Dawns apartment 

22:49

The strong scent of Booze clogged the air as the apartment was filled with the many sweaty, drunk, and slightly unhinged teens dancing the night away and it made me glad that I had opened the balcony doors a few hours earlier.

‘Give me everything’ by Pitbull was playing in the background but was drowned out by the millions of voices talking over it on the 2 large speakers, these voices were due to the cluster of people, that occupied more room than I thought it would and in this cluster stood me, Dawn Hikari, tall and proud to of hosted such a spectacular event in such little time, since it was just last week that Andrew Hayden, or drew as many people liked to call him, asked such a daunting task from me since we should “End this year with one more bad mistake” and thus a party was born. I had invited many of my closest friends and distant acquaintances, this list includes but is not subject to: Ash Ketchum, Misty Waterflower, May Maple, Leaf Green, Gary Oak, and Paul Revere. 

I tried to keep close tabs on them since I was closer with these people than the random ones who either were invited by Drew or just some random people that somehow wandered in here… yeahhh, I have to do something about that. 

“Dawn!” yelled a charismatic voice while walking towards me, distracting me from my previous thoughts,

“Ash!” I shouted back with just as much enthusiasm. 

“God you look amazing! Let me tell you right now that black dress is doing wonders for you right now!”

“Awwh, Thank you… I think….And may I say you look Great! But where’s your Blazer?” I asked, looking around a little in case it was floating mind-air around somewhere:

 Ash always made the impossible seem possible.

“Oh yeah, umm, so Misty said she was a little cold earlier on and being the chivalrous man i am, i decided to give her my blazer” he said sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck,

“Awhhh, look at you two! Remind me again: why aren't you two dating?” I said cheekily and giggling a little bit 

“Shut it, You know i could ask the same question about you and-”

“ASH KETCHUM IN THE HOUSE!” shouted Gary wrapping an arm around his shoulder. “Do you mind if i steal this fine young chap from you? I need him,, for an experiment” Gary asked turning his gaze towards me 

“No No it's fine, by all means, take him!” I said shoving them away 

And with that they were lost in the sea of people and never to be seen again… oh wait that reminds her, Ash and I need to finish a school project later, oh well I guess she has to look for him later. 

As the party progresses I talked to many, many people and ran many, many errands like refilling drinks or hanging out snacks, or having the ambulance on speed dial because one of the guests was a little too drunk and a little too close to the balcony railing for my comfort. 

And by the end of it, my feet were on fire so when a few spots on the couch opened up I practically leaped over there. 

“God's sake, how on earth did Drew convince me  again?” I mumbled as I rubbed my eyes a little 

“Oh, he doesn't convince people, “ someone’s voice started to say, a voice she recognized a little too well “, he borderline manipulates you into doing it” Paul finished with a faint giggle being heard from the blunette in response. When I turned to look at him he had his head leaning on the couch facing upwards and his eyes closed.

“Are you doing okay?” I questioned with some worry lacing in my voice. “You looked fine a while ago?” 

“Yeah, Yeah I'm fine, just kinda drunk” he signed a little, his head now turning to face her with his onyx eyes now piercing into mine.

“Oh”

 “Oh,” I said a little quietly this time taking in his features  ‘Jesus Christ we are close’ i realized and some heat began to rise to my cheeks. ‘I need to say something, quick’

 “Uh so, uhh…”

I stuttered averting my eyes in many directions and fidgeting with my hands while Paul’s eyes just stayed on me making no effort to ease some of the tension rising. 

“Hm?” he questioned, quite seductively may i add with that deep voice of his and… wait a minute… is that a smirk she seeing? 

“Ohhh, okay I see what your doing” I rolled her eyes jokingly a small smile showing 

“What?” he asked back faking innocence his deep voice really shining though… oh god that deep voice of his.

“You pulling that face”

“What face?”

“Are you kidding me? Your face is making a face!”

“Really?”

“Yes! And look at how close we are”

“How close we are?”

“Yes, we look like were on the verge of kiss-”

shit. 

“...”

Shit.

“Do we?”

SHIT.

What the heck should i say? ‘Yeah, we’re so close we may as well make out on the couch here’ nope. ‘Yah, can you kiss me right now?’ God no. ‘Please make out with m-’ Okay i'm going to stop now.

“Should we?” he asked

“what?” she in absolute shock

He said nothing as he chuckled and sat up again. “Nothing”

But I was not about to settle for that.

“No wait,” I hurriedly said as I sat up as well, “What were you going to say?”

“Dawn!!” yelled a voice from behind me by my fiery redhead; Misty. ‘God's sake Misty!’ Dawn thought ‘Literally anytime but now! Why now??’

 “Two things!,” said Misty walking up to us in her sparkling deep blue dress with ash’s jacket loosely hanging off her shoulders, first holding one finger up as I stood up from her spot on the couch“, one: Leaf wants to know if the sandwiches have ham in them”

“Yeah some of them do but there’s another tray of sandwiches that don't: i think i labelled them?” 

“Okay that's great i’ll tell her, second is that drew wants us all to meet on the balcony in like 5 minutes, so it's great that you two are together, that's make it's much easier”

Said misty while waving a finger between me and Paul.

“Okay yep, message received we’ll be there” i said with a thumbs up 

“Great, because hes been trying to round up us and I think Drew is this close to popping a vein” she replied with the index and thumb being quite close together. Actually i think they were touching. 

“Noted” Said Paul getting up from his seat on the couch 

“Okay great! See you there in 5!” said misty waving back at us as she turned and walked away into the party. As she was walking away I turned my gaze toward the clock; 23:12.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol, this has been sitting in my drafts for ages and I didn't know what to do with it. Reading back over it it's quite shit and I may change the storyline to make it make more sense if THAT makes sense. I need to go develop the characters more but yeah.

Hope you've enjoyed it and if so could you like this and maybe follow?

✍(◔◡◔), Thank you

Ughhhh I really love this story and I love Gally he deserves more screen time and more character development and he deserves the world 🎉🎊💞💓💗💖💘

SCARED (Gally X Reader)

Anonymous request: Hey!!!  I really like your “Cry” Gally X Reader imagine.  Can you do another Gally X Reader where the reader is really sweet to him despite how grumpy and distant he can be??  Gally likes her a lot but is too stubborn to admit it.  Gally gets worked up and says something hurtful but before he can apologize the reader gets hurt in the maze and lots of angst??  Then fluffy ending pls!  THANK YOU!!!

Gally likes Y/N more than he cares to admit. And the feeling’s mutual.  Y/N loves the side of Gally that only she gets to see – the sensitive, affectionate side behind his tough exterior.  Gally’s the type to hide his fears, to bury them deep down until they erupt in a sea of silent tears; but with Y/N, he can cry, he can whimper, he can be vulnerable.  

“It’s ok to be scared.” she’ll say. “No one’s gonna think any less of you…”

“Yeah they will…” he’ll insist.  

“I won’t…” she’ll say with a sweet smile.    

Gally’s also the type to deny, deny, deny when it comes to his feelings.  He’ll open up to Y/N in private but practically ignore her in public.  He’s so desperate to maintain his “tough guy” façade that he’s willing to neglect the person he cares about the most; the person who’s never once neglected him.

Y/N tries not to take offense, but it’s hard not to…

Still she wakes him from nightmares, wipes his tears, & strokes his hand.  Still she coaxes him through panic attacks & holds him until the pain subsides.

Though Gally can be such an ass, Y/N can’t bear to let him suffer alone.  

It’s bonfire night & most everyone’s having a great time.  Everyone except Gally…

The builder can’t take his eyes off Y/N. She’s sitting with Thomas’ head in her lap, her fingers stroking his hair.  Thomas & Y/N have always been close, but what they have is strictly platonic – almost like a brother-sister bond.  

But Gally doesn’t see it that way.  He knows he has no right to be jealous, but he can’t help it.

Gally gets up & retreats to his room in a jealous rage.  

He hates Y/N for having this effect on him…for making him feel so powerless against his own emotions.  He hates how much he cares.  He hates that he can’t help but care.  

“Gally?”

Gally turns around to see Y/N standing in his doorway.  

“You ok?” she asks.

“I’m fine.  Now leave.” Gally says coldly.  

“You don’t seem fine…” Y/N goes to put her hand on Gally’s shoulder but he retracts from her touch. “Gally, what’s wrong?”

“You’re what’s wrong!” Gally blurts out.  

Y/N feels her heart break. “W-What?” she asks, tears welling in her eyes.  

“You’re the problem!  Just leave me the hell alone!” Gally yells.  

Y/N can’t help but wince at Gally’s words.  She can’t begin to fathom the pain she’s feeling. She just backs away & hurries out the door.  

Gally just stands there, breathless & horror-struck. What’d I just do?? He thinks to himself.  

Y/N’s never been anything but kind to him…

No – she’s been more than kind.  She’s been patient & understanding & accepting & loyal…

Gally wants to go apologize but he’s paralyzed with remorse.  So he just stands there, racked with the utmost shame.  

*Time Skip*

Morning comes & Gally heads to breakfast.

“Seen Y/N?” He asks Fry.

“She’s running today.  Already left with Minho & Thomas.”

SHUCK! Gally hates when Y/N runs.  The thought of her in that maze makes him sick.

*Some hours later*

Gally’s busy working when he hears, “HEY!  HEY, HELP!”

Everyone turns to see Minho & Thomas stumbling out of the maze, Y/N limp in Thomas’ arms.  

Gally’s heart sinks. No, no, no, no, no.  Please no.

Minho & Thomas rush past Gally & into the med hut.  As they pass, Gally gets a clearer view of Y/N.  She’s paler than he’s ever seen her.  She has a large gash on her forehead & her leg’s a bloody mess.  

Gally stands in the doorway of the hut, watching as Clint & Jeff scramble to stop the bleeding from Y/N’s leg.  Thomas is applying pressure to Y/N’s head wound while Minho holds her hand. “C’mon, Y/N.  Stay with us.” Minho pleads.  

Tears gather in Gally’s eyes at the sight of Y/N so helpless & hurt.

Please…please don’t take her away.  

*Time Skip*

Y/N’s lying motionless on a cot in the med hut. She hasn’t moved in three hours & Gally’s beside himself with worry.  

Thomas & Minho leave Y/N’s bedside to grab dinner & Gally takes their place. He takes Y/N’s limp hand in his & brings it to his quivering lips. There’s so much Gally wants to say…so much he needs to say, & yet he’s lost for words.  

“Y/N, I…I…” He ever so gently strokes her cheek with his thumb. “I’m so sorry…”

Gally bows his head in defeat & lets his tears fall. “I didn’t mean it…” he sobs. “I swear I didn’t mean it…”

“I’m the problem.  I’m scared…I’m scared of what I feel for you…I’m scared of how much I need you.”

“Y/N, please…” Gally begs, tears now streaming down his cheeks. “…please…I need you to be ok.

Memories flood Gally’s mind…memories of falling asleep in Y/N’s warm embrace.  She’d let him rest his head on her chest or her stomach.  She’d rub his back or stroke his hair, all the while whispering words of comfort.  

She’d heal his pain, & all he’s really done is cause her pain…

“I’m sorry.” Gally sobs, before taking Y/N into his arms.  He sits on the cot, cradling Y/N against his chest, his tear-stained face nuzzling her hair.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” Gally whimpers.

“Gally?”

Gally opens his eyes to see Y/N looking up at him. She’s barely conscious but she’s back. She’s alive.  

Gally can’t help but let out a choked sob. “Y-Y/N?”

“W-What happened?” Y/N asks, her sweet voice barely audible.  

Gally heaves a sigh of relief before leaning in & pressing his quivering lips to Y/N’s forehead.  Though she has hardly any strength, Y/N manages to lift her hand to Gally’s cheek.  Gally melts against her touch, nuzzling his face into her palm. “I’m sorry…” he whimpers against her skin. “I’m so sorry.”

Y/N smiles weakly before nuzzling her face further into Gally’s chest.  She slinks her arms around his torso & hugs him with all the strength she can muster.

Gally’s overcome with an ineffable sense of relief. “I…I was so scared…” he sobs into the crook of Y/N’s neck as he holds her tight. “I didn’t mea–”

“I know.” Y/N says, her voice muffled against Gally’s chest.  

“I can’t lose you–”

“Shhh.” Y/N soothes. “You won’t.”

Gally cannot begin to fathom what he’s feeling. It’s beyond relief, beyond comfort, beyond bliss.  It’s everything he’s ever wanted but never believed he deserved.  It’s worth cherishing above all else.  

It’s love, in its purest, most invaluable form.  

“I love you.” Gally whispers against Y/N’s skin. He feels Y/N hug him tighter.  

“I love you too, Gally.”
