Vol.3/Chapter 8: Distortion (I)

Luca's POV:

"Did you hear that, Theo? Sounded like a scream... I hope they are all right, this manor is pretty big.", I said worriedly to Theo.

"Nah, I'm pretty sure they're all right in this dark, creepy hallway." He chuckled nervously. "Like what are these cobwebs and dust would do to us? Give us allergy to death?"

I just stared at him in dismay and sighed. One by one, we checked each door for clues but one thing's for certain, there are almost no signs of life here. Everything was abandoned, either rotting or destroyed. Every step we take, the floor creak quietly. Almost all the walls have eyes in them, seemingly following our every move. We continue to tread carefully, checking each nook and cranny of the floor we're in.

Even though the air is full of dust and particles, I could still smell something strange. With zero hesitation, I started to follow the scent, which Theo noticed thereafter. Continuing upon our destination, I noticed that our light is slowly dimming.
