Circumstance

Circumstance

You’re a victim of a funny thing called circumstances. Your parents weren’t as well off as you believed throughout your childhood. Due to your parents' terrible money problems, they sold you off to some wealthy family…or two...assuming it’s just 2… On your 18th birthday you were sent off to live in a seamlessly empty property unknowingly to you, 7 clans of vampires settled on agreement some time before your arrival to “share”the human sold to them just to contain the “peace” . I wonder how long that’ll last.

The “Little Things” they do(Savanaclaw)

--------------------Jack------------------------ I assumed he ran out of energy again. The gym was a mess. Weights everywhere,water on the floor, even bars. Almost like a hurricane passed though. Not wanting a mess I began cleaning. Putting weights in the correct spot and order, bars on handles and water cleaned up. While finishing up i felt a cold heavy weight on my back. Although I was a bit startled, I had a feeling it was jack behind me. I sighed slightly and began walking him out of the gym and to his old room. Surely ghosts need rest. I plopped him down on the bed even though he's barely visible. He looked like some miserable dog with his ears down, almost defeated expression. I felt bad. "I’m gonna leave so you can chill” I said as I stood up and began to leave the room “I'm sorry” jack mumbled. I turned around to see he'd faded out. Wonder what he’s sorry about. ---------------------Ruggie----------------------------------- “Ok this is getting ridiculous” i mumbled. “Ruggie” I called out the ghost “yesss” he answer as he peeked through the door “have you been rearranging or stealing my clothes” i asked “hmmmm… maybe” he replied “seriously?” i asked “nope” he smiled and i sighed “can you just give them back” i asked “what would you give me” he smirked mischievously “i have nothing of interest unless you want me to make you food” i offered “hmm.. Donuts and your attention for a day.” he said “ok fine just give me my clothes back” i huffed he smiled widely and disappeared.

The day has gone by and as promised, Ruggie would give my things back by tonight. Once I returned to my room, a large pile of clothes and other miscellaneous things layed on my bed. The more I sifted through, the more disturbing the items got. Cloths to my underwear to missing soap bottles to my chapstick/lipsticks. What was he doing with all this --------------------Leona--------------------------- “Chess? Sure I doubt I remember how to play” i stated “don’t worry about it just sit down” leona said. I shrugged and sat on the table across from leona. There on the table was a classical chess set. “You go first,” Leona said. We committed plays back and forth. We barely spoke so the birds in the gardens occupied the focus atmosphere. “It’s kinda random you invited me here” i said as i placed down a pawn “ghost around here invite you all the time. How is this any different” he replied playing down his rook “well.. You barely acknowledge my presence nor care to move out the way when I’m cleaning the wing so i assume you want nothing to do with me” i replied “well you suddenly appeared in my manor how else was i supposed to react to you” he scoff “should i just leave then” i teased as i placed down my piece. Suddenly he grabbed my wrist and twisted it forcing me out of my chair “leona what the-” i was interrupted by coughing. My body felt weak and dry causing me to cough violently “leave then i have no choice but to kill you” he spoke calmly as he moved his pieces “checkmate” he started dropping my wrist . my body regained normal functions and that dryness faded away although that didn’t stop the coughing. I looked down at my hands and the floor to check for signs of blood,fortunately there was none… when i turned back to the table to scold even yell at this guy he’s already left the scene. What even was that?

Exploration(final part)

Diasomnia

My heart drops when I approach this wing. Might as well be a castle. Grim cowers behind me sensing the same bad vibes as me. I clutched onto the flashlight ortho gave me and put on my brave face “you can do this. You can-” i jumped as the door opened. I sighed and i causley entered the wing. As soon as I entered the door slammed shut behind me. Nope nope nope nope. I cave sam will just have to get the 6 wings and i never have to never do this again. I turned the handle. It didn’t budge. I can hear grim meowing from the otherside. Wait…..he’s outside. Ok ok ok ok…. Let's get this over with. I can only assume grim is trying to find another way in. I turned on the flashlight and pointed at the lobby.  When I pointed the light upwards I spotted a slight shadow walking downstairs which made the light flicker. I froze. When the lights worked back again the shadow was gone. I gulped as I began trembling up stairs. Up stairs I felt nothing but cold sweat as I held on my forever vibrating necklace. “You human over there” A voice boomed through the silence. I jumped over the loud voice as I turned to see a young man dressed similarly to a knight decked in armor. His eyes glared at me which pierced my soul. “The young master wishes for your presents. It would be shameful of you if you make him wait longer” he scolded as he bore his fangs. Lord have mercy im freaking terrified. The more i owleshly looked at him the more inrage he became “Im i not speaking in the common tongue. Are you too dumb to understand the words which flow through thine mouth? Or perhaps you barely know how to move.fine i shall escort you myself” he declared which snapped me out of that minor moment of fear and stepped back “Are you making plans to escape!? YOu run away from our lord! Have you no shame. You stay there I shall escort you WITHOUT incident” He exclaimed. Yep imma book it. I ran away as I heard thumping and the clustering of armor as that loud knight ran after me. I turned the corner sliding in the progress because of the rug which ended up tripping the knight on the way which gave me time to loop back around and practically jump down the stairs. The back door. The door to the  gardens should be open. I ran through the hallway in the middle of the stairs “cease Your running human” his voice boomed again as i used what’s left of my adrenaline and stamina and burst through the back door and ran all the way to the garden woods. I have no idea how far I was but I was wheezing and panting as I tried to catch my breath as my heart ran miles. I collapsed on my knees needing some form of rest.hissing was heard from a distance. I looked up to see a swarm of bats and grim hanging from the scruffle. Great, I have to rescue him this time. I huffed as I regained some of my stamina. I grabbed back my flashlight and checked if it still worked,lucky it still does, and began my journey through the woods. I continued walking to where I reached the center where there was a large dome. Maybe not as big as savanaclaw’s but it was massive to say the least. I entered the dome and searched for grim. As soon as I entered the flashlight stopped working. I had to rely on the moon as I searched for that cat. Then I heard a squeak. A bat fluttered past me. It was smaller than what I've seen. I followed the small creature to see if it knew the way. A clearing was presented before me where a guy stood in the middle holding grim. I could tell that guy was smiling “my my. How did you get here little one” he asked grim, who squirmed in his hands. Then a cold hand covered my mouth and pulled me away from within the bushes. My blood went cold and I squirmed around myself as panic set in though my body not knowing what’s going on. We tripped on a branch and fell but it got me into more trouble as he began caging me with his arms “stop. You’re making this worse for yourself.it would be better for both of us if you calmed down” a voice spoke sternly. Then that man came around the bushes to see me and this perpetrator holding grim who was clawing at his cloak “silver, you’re being too rough with them. Keep this up you’re going to scare her to death, we can’t have them dying right now” he said. I was let go automatically as I shuffled away from him. Silver had a handsome face and beautiful purple eyes. He looked down “I'm sorry,” Silver said,as he got up. He walked over to me and helped me stand. “I assume this little guy is yours” the other man asked as he held grim up to me. Grim automatically jumped in my arms. He’s just as shaky as I am “oh where are my manners? Lilia vanrouge. Am at your service highness” lilia said as he bowed and silver bowed with him “highness?” i questioned “you do own this now properly yes. Therefore you technically rule these lands, no?” lilia said as he placed his hand underneath his chin, grinning at me with a bright smile “right. Our lord would like to meet you in person. He’s gathered enough energy now; perhaps our conversation can last overnight” lilia said. Lilia linked his arm around mine as he began to lead me out of the dome “Staying here isn't that bad. Beds are always made to fit your comfort and preference” he lists as he continues to drag me along. “You know your highness, our lord talks very highly of you since you’ve arrived and took charge of the place. Thanks to you It’s cleaner than I’ve ever imagined, "Lilia complemented. I awkwardly nodded as we followed along to the main building. We walked to the dining room where silver pulled out a seat for me. Lilia sat me down and patted my head “our lord should be around somewhere. We’ll find him so wait right here.” lilia said as he left the dining room with silver following behind. I looked over the corner and they were gone. Grim pawed my chest and meowed. I looked down at grim who’s paw was pointing at something. Almost like a miracle or a mistake on the ghost’s part but regardless the door was wide open.I looked to the left and to the right. No one was here. With that said I booked it.

Ramshakle

I slowed down when I reached closer to the main house. I huffed as i catched my breath. I dropped grim who was tight in my grasp. I was in the back of the main house woods and the path to ramshackle isn’t that far. I relaxed a little and I started walking. “Beautiful night isn't it” a voice spoke next to me which made me jump. Next to me was a very tall male with jet black hair. His eyes glowed a lime green as he stared down at me.The most pecural thing about him is the horns above his head. “Ah I’m sorry. I tend to have that effect on humans like yourself” he said as he stepped back a little. “No no. I just didn’t see you here.” i replied, feeling a little bad “why are you out here this late at night” i asked. He smiled as he replied “Roaming around these woods provides me with comfort.you can’t do too much when you're dead”   I just nod “who are you?” i asked once more “You don’t know” he asked “should I know?” I questioned back then I sighed  “well It's late and sleep is all I want right now. So just don’t freak me out ok” i said as i began to leave back. The tall male walks and catches up to me “may i accompany you. It’s dangerous at night.” he asked. I thought for a moment then remembering that the main house is made out of some ghost repelling crystal. “.....ok” I said. His eyes lit up slightly as we continued walking “so what’s your name anyways” i asked “i shall not tell you” he replied “so what do i call you” i asked once more

“Whatever you desire”

                                          “Whatever?” “Anything you wish”

                                                                     “You’re giving me too much power”

“How so? I just grant you permission to call me any name of your choosing”

   “We just met and you trust me way too much” I sighed. We reached the door and he had a slight frown “If you wish we can return to where I reside in” he asked “no I’m fine. I had enough traveling for one day and I'm really tired. Thanks though” I replied as I slowly backed away. I head inside the house while waving goodbye. Grim meowed as I sighed a breath of relief.

In the morning I showered and got dressed so I could head down to Sam's shop and report my initial findings. When I exited the door there was a slash mark on the floor. When I turned to close and lock the door, a larger scratch like burn mark was left there. Could it be that ghost? Is that what happens when they try to get in. I touched my neck and realized I forgot that necklace.i ran inside and grabbed the piece of jewelry. After that I made my way in town with a book of stories to tell. Sam’s gonna get a crack out of this one.

Octavinelle Journal Entries

-------Floyd leech---------------------------------------------- -he’s definitely interesting -his mood swings are something -one day he’s ecstatic and the next he threatens to kill me -but one thing kinda stays the same and it’s his urge to “squeeze” people and his aquatic nicknaming -i earned the title of shrimpy and he’ll probably addressed me as such for a long time -in terms of background he also helped with some killings with azul and his twin brother -he was more open about them as he would go in to extreme detail of his favorite victims -i can tell he’s definitely the reason for the large amount of clean up -commonly i see him roaming about bord out his mind until i show up                  -always something with him  which turns 0-100...real fast                                      -has another form which is more akin to a eel merfolk

I'm not taking my chances) -unlike his twin he doesn't have mood swings but regardless i can’t pinpoint his motives -when talking about forms these ghost can take, he explains that azul has octopus form which makes him embarrassed in fear others would mock him -he tends to help me when i do chores around the wing and thanks me for taking care of the place when they were more dormant -he like mushrooms a lot and offered a tour around his terrarium in the backyard -seeing i owned the property which includes this place i had an obligation to tend to his mushrooms( I can’t disagree sense it’s part of my chores anyways) -I don’t trust him when he makes drinks for me when i chat with azul due to his past of drugging and poisoning people but I never addressed it out loud

Exploration (pt 6)

Ignihyde

Night time is just around the corner and that rising fear is now settling in as I gaze at the giant wing. No, I'm not talking about Ignihyde in front of me, it's Diasomnia. I sighed and maybe if i can get this over with quick enough I can finish this investigation before sundown. I looked down at Grim who looked just as tense as me. I sighed and we entered the building. I guess no matter the time it’s always dark in here. The blue light tent didn't help either. At Least i could still see things. I know there’s a robotic doll in here so I skipped the whole exploration of the lower floors and headed straight to the upper floors much to grim’s protest. We walked to the room where I hoped that doll would be and would know it. As soon as I opened the door that doll was gone….. Great…. Laughing was heard down the hallway. Around the corner was a boy with his hair in resemblance to blue flames which glowed in the dark. He had glowing yellow eyes and sharp teeth which smiled at me. He then disappeared behind the corner. Before following the ghost i should investigate the room. I entered the charging room to find wires scattered everywhere as well as gears but in comparison with the rest of the house, there weren't many skulls or death like themes. There was a desk where tools were set up most likely to repair the doll when needed which explains how it wasn't old or dusty looking. I wonder who was behind it. There was papers on the board wall which had instructions on the doll which was named Ortho. Then a light was projected behind me. I turned around to see that little boy again. But he held a can? I looked back at the paper to see how similar the model doll drawing and the boy looked. Is this ortho. The boy held out the can which got grim’s attention. Then he booked it. Straight up ran with Grim following behind him.  Now I have no choice but to chase after them. I followed them around the corner and no bright light could be seen nor found. Nor the sound of grim which concerns me the most. There shouldn't be a lot to the wing but why does it feel so big now. Then I heard something drop and a meowing sound from behind. I turned back and followed the noise until I saw a ladder. I walked up the ladder to see a dome. With the dark sky illuminating the area. This was the lab the stars were clear as day from here. I couldn't help but to be mesmerized. That moment was interrupted by a voice “ortho. Leave the cat alone and give him that can”. I looked down to see a male with Victorian clothing with long flaming blue hair like the boy. “Aww ok” the boy said as he put the can down so grim can figure out how to open it himself. The older male looked too busy with something where i don’t think he noticed me walking towards him “hello” i said which made him absolutely sky rocket. His eyes widen as he stumbled back on the floor “big brother are you ok” ortho ask as he rushed to him. He shakingly points to me “y y y you can see me now!?” he exclaimed “umm….ya” i replied. he sighs slightly as he gets up “d don’t scare me like that. At Least give me a warning before you jumpscare me like some horror game” he said. And i just nod “sorry” . he just hums and gets back to fixing the doll. “D do you mind leaving. This requires total concentration. Which you ruined a minute ago…” he asked. Well I’m not one to tick off a ghost so i just grabbed grim who hanging on to the can and began to leave. I head down stairs where i saw ortho again “sorry for taking your cat. Is there anything i can do to make it up to you” he asked. I thought for a moment “I need the best flashlight you have”.
