"Urgh this place looks worse on the inside.." Darcy muttered as we walked into the hallway. Cobwebs decorated every corner, a chandelier creaked above us. "Ok.. it could do with a clean but we can make this work, can't we kids?" said my mother as my siblings were walking up the stairs "Yeaah sure.." Darcy said sarcastically as Grayson followed.
Mother looked at me with a smile, "Go pick a room hun" As I walked up the stairs I swore I could hear something.. a voice.. but as I reached the top, the voice faded. I could already hear my siblings bickering from the left so I decided to go right, so many rooms.. why would my grandmother live here all alone.. I opened the door at the end of the corrider peering inside, a single bed at the side, a desk and wardobe at the other. This would do fine, all I had with me was my clothes and some books. Yet again cobwebs decorated the corners and the room a slightly cold but I'd get used to it.
I set my suitcase on the bed as something on the desk drew my attention. A small wooden box tied with a ribbon, how strange.. before I knew it I'd pulled the ribbon and opened it, it felt like I was meant to open it, like it had been waiting there for me all this time.. As I opened the box, inside sat a key and a ring, "Hmm hmm hmm" There it is again! that voice, as I looked at the ring I felt drawn to it, just something about it, as I placed it on my right hand I felt a prick from beneath it but as I tried to take it off.. it wouldn't budge.. How could it be stuck when it fit on my finger so easily?!
"Nicky?" I hear my mother call, shit now what!? Ok Nicky stay calm.. we'll figure this out.. later, she grabbed the key before leaving the room, hearing the voice yet again "Soon.."
I can't wait to see each character fleshed out!
