---------------------
GUILT is one of those emotions that feeds on itself. With every bite, it gets a little HEAVIER. -Sadie.---------------------Dolores pursued her lips and didn't continue talking to Noami, their room's door was locked shut by some magnetic field, Dolores had already felt the strength running through her legs now. She wanted to go out and investigate.
It seemed that the ghost liked to scare them one by one, giving them enough time to rest in between, so twisted.
Dolores looked at her and Naomi's bags around the bed's corner, picking it up, she took out some extra t-shirts and wore 3 more layers under her sweater while passing some to Naomi as well.
Dolores glanced inside the backpack, noticing there were a lot of snacks, picking some out, she and Noami had a meal.
There was also the screams of others as music played in the background, Noami couldn't help but tremble as she ate another chocolate bar.
_______________________Somewhere in some other room,Sadie listened to the shouts of her friends, and directly intended open her door, but the door stood like a mountain not unlocking at all, she inquired hastily,
"Marcel, what's happening outside!?"
She tried slapping the door, hearing her friend's bone-chilling screams, Sadie's tears started to drip down again.
She didn't expect this mansion to be haunted..she felt weird inside as if full of guilt.
Marcel lowered his eyes and said, " We can't help them locked up here, don't waste your tears."
"But..Marcel you entered my room easily a few minutes ago, why can't we leave now?"
Sadie's innocent face showed the curiosity of children's, with water droplets stuck on her eyelashes, she looked extremely fragile.
Marcel curled his lips, patted Sadie's head softly as if he would break her if he patted any harder and said calmly, "When I entered from the outside, it was still open."
Sadie's face paled, she dropped down, hugging her knees, "Marcel, it's all because of me, you blame me as well don't you, I'm so sorry!...woo...woo."
Sadie may feel very regretful but she felt uncertain as to why others were reacting so much, she didn't actually even see the ghost yet, and with Marcel with her, she felt exceptionally safe.

Back to Dolores and Naomi's room,
Dolores looked at the clock in the room, seeing it was midnight already, she planned to lie down and sleep. She needed to get back to her max health as soon as possible.She noticed that the pranks and attacks by the ghost aren't a lot during the day.
Naomi glanced as Dolores was almost about to snore, " Are you really in the mood to sleep? What if it comes back!"
"Let her entertain our friends, get some sleep before she tosses us next." After saying that, Dolores shut her eyes, and literally began snoring softly.
Naomi watched as the woman acted as if they were on a field trip, after gritting her teeth for a while, Naomi quietly agreed to snuggle beside Dolores and rest.
-----------------People say I act like I don't care. It's not an act. -Marcel.-------------------Dolores fell asleep, but after a while, she suddenly woke up, this time she wasn't in the antique room of the ghost mansion...but the colour white surrounding her in all directions...feeling a little frightened, Dolores quickly distracted herself by looking around.It was entirely white in her sight. There was no sound, no trace of life. It was deathly still, Dolores observed her surroundings and found that she was the only one here. It was too quiet, eerily quiet.Dolores decided to walk forward, after wandering for a while, she finally saw...a book.As soon as Dolores got close to the unusual book in the middle of the white room, she was sucked in.As if watching a document, Dolores felt her eyes going through a novel called, "Saving my moonlight in the haunted mansion".Sadie Laurent was going through her
-----------------Fear is always there; it's a survival instinct. You just need to know how to manage it. - Dolores.------------------ Marcel followed Sadie as a shadow, all along the way, Marcel never paid attention to others. As Marcel finally entered the mansion, he could feel the evil spirit of a woman living here, but he kept quiet waiting for the spirit to show itself. Marcel himself was a very competitive person and was actually enough to handle such a ghost. But, why did only Marcel and Sadie survive in the end? Just because Marcel felt Sadie's friends were useless, getting scared and fainting left and right. After her death, Marcel looked at the two girls, Dolores and Naomi dead on the bed, he couldn't help but feel how people could be scared to death. Marcel couldn't help but sneer in his heart, from Marcel's point of view, he simply looked down on Dolores and Naomi. But for Sadie, Marcel didn't hesitate to use his long-cult
---------------I just let the pain take over me, allowing it to numb the pain of being left behind. - the ghost in the mansion.---------------Dolores couldn't help sweating from her forehead, how could a normal person be calm knowing their death was tomorrow. But Dolores controlled herself, she needed to be stronger than ever.Sadie knew this place was weird, but she still brought them here without telling them anything about it.Dolores could understand that Sadie thought capacity size is of a peanut, but Marcel's actions just made her wordless, even though they were never friends with Marcel, he could still watch them die as if they weren't human but ants.This kind of bone-chilling mind, but Dolores couldn't just force Marcel to save them, she didn't have control over other people's brain circuits.Dolores felt that if she knew that something evil might be here in this mansion, she wouldn't have come at all. 
------------The best response to any difficult situation is to keep calm. -Dolores.-------------Dolores's forehead veins were popping out, she hastily attempted to make Naomi calm down, however, she couldn't reach the ghost, the veins on Noami's neck began to tremble as if trying to flee and gasp.The beautiful head abruptly appeared again, giving Dolores and Naomi a smirked stare. These both were just tiny humans who couldn't even damage one of her hair.They weren't like that man who conveyed her a dangerous impression, she could squeeze them like ants.Naomi's body was twitching as if she would die any minute, Dolores knew she had to do something, with the motivation she cried out, "It is fun intimidating the weak? Why don't you go and bully the strong? Aren't you scared!"The ghost turned to Dolores, her eyebrows furrowed, "Shut up, your dying next heh.'Dolores clenched the inside of her cheek and went on, "
--------------I'm gonna be strong no matter what I am facing right now, the future is bright and I know it. -Naomi.------------- The ghost's fingers on Dolores's neck tightened and loosened rapidly, "So interesting, your so brave, little girl hehe.." Dolores's sucked in a deep breath-stopping her shivering for a while and replied, "People are afraid of the unknown, but I know you're a ghost, I don't need to be afraid anymore.." The ghost suddenly pinched her neck harder, "But I don't like the look in your eyes, so interesting, I want to kill you and make you my pet heh~." Dolores felt as if her brain would stop receiving blood any second, "But I won't be your pet until you show me that you're a great master!" The ghost's voice changed, "I can kill you right now? Why don't you think I'm a strong ghost! I can make you my pet in seconds heh~." Dolores acted as if she was sneering, "I saw how afraid you were of that blonde weak woman, S
------------Forgive my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people. -Marcel.------------Marcel rolled his eyes, "I wouldn't even let you near me or her, go play your little games on those idiots out there."Gwen's hair flew as if she wanted to stone Marcel like Medusa, "Don't think I'm afraid of you, it's just that I have more toys to play with heh~" As Gwen said she thought about Dolores's face.Gwen has lived for two hundred years, and she has already seen these types of shamans and exorcists, she just felt angry looking at couples."Then go play with them, dirty thing." Marcel saw that Sadie was about to wake up and impatiently stopped paying attention to the so-called fearsome ghost.Gwen's ghost felt that killing these both is better than killing Dolores and Naomi, seeing that it was almost morning, the ghost humphed and disappeared from the room. 𝑰𝒏 𝑫𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑵𝒂𝒐?
-------------Forgive my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people. -Marcel.------------Naomi poked her head out of the door and watched both directions waiting to see if someone would appear as well, as she twisted her head to Dolores to whisper, she saw that Dolores stepped ahead of her directly outside the room without any precautions,Causing Naomi to hastily follow.As Dolores strolled downstairs, Naomi could be seen tip-toeing behind her crossing her fingers for the ghost to not emerge.Dolores didnt think it was necessary to knock at the other people's doors, they were just testing if somebody would come out first and Dolores performed just that.Listening to the noise of footsteps outside, the people hiding in the rooms eventually appeared one by one.Sadie looked at everyone slightly injured and exhausted, "Why are you guys so hurt?" June, on the side, one of Sadie's good friends couldn't hold her
----------------Help the weak when you're STRONG. One day you might be WEAK. -Naomi.-------------Sadie was still weeping, listening to Dolores's words she inhaled hard and was about to decide when Marcel spoke, "Can't you see that Sadie's in a fragile state, how can you be so fierce as her friend heh?Dolores speechlessly glanced at Sadie who just whimpered a little and the bloodstained crisscrosses on Naomi's forehead, "Well, Mr Marcel, do you need glasses to notice Naomi's injury? Isn't Naomi my friend as well or are you meaning Sadie is more important than everyone here? Ha." With Dolores's words, June, Emily and Caleb turned uncomfortable, while Noah was calm as always.Marcel coldly glared at Dolores, "Sadie has constantly been extremely good to you all, nevertheless, you all accuse her instead of reassuring her, do you assume she will help you again?"Can't Sadie be slightly generous and think about Naomi's circumstance, I am certain s
When Noah woke up the following morning, he found a note on the bedside table from Sadie, asking him to phone the police station immediately. Noah dialed the number and waited impatiently for someone to pick up the line. He was about to hang up when the person finally answered.Officer Yu: "Hello?"Noah: "Did Sadie mention something about an explosion?"Officer Yu: "Explosion? What do you mean?"Noah: "On Saturday night."Officer Yu: "Are you talking about that fire?"Noah: "Yeah. Do you know what happened?"Officer Yu: "No. Why?"Noah: "It's a long story."Officer Yu: "Get to the point."Noah: "I met with a man named Takashi Sakurai on Saturday."Officer Yu: "Oh yeah?"Noah: "He claims that he is responsible for destroying the nuclear reactor at Kannawa."Officer Yu: "I thought the whole thing blew up."Noah: "No. That was the plan."Officer Yu: "What are you talking about?"Noah: "Someone else tried to destroy the nuclear reactor."Officer Yu: "Who?"Noah: "A group calling themselve
Noah got up and retrieved the iPod from his bedroom. He opened his laptop and searched for music, selecting songs and albums with familiar names. Noah set the iPod on the table next to him and turned it on. After a moment, he remembered that he hadn't heard the news yet today. Noah switched off the iPod and called up the newspaper web site and clicked on the audio link."In other breaking news," said the announcer, "Japan's top criminal investigation agency has announced that it is investigating the disappearance of a prominent Japanese businessman who went missing last week."Noah felt his stomach drop to his feet. It was bad enough that he couldn't save his parents, but now another innocent man might die. A sense of dread filled his body. Noah shook his head and sighed heavily. He was tired of being powerless.He was still sitting at the table when Mrs Ryuko and Mariella returned. They both looked anxious, as if they expected to hear bad news. Noah watched his mother sit in her chai
Noah shrugged and answered: "I'm afraid 12 all I can tell you right now."Mariella: "Then I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight."Noah: "Maybe you should try to relax. Take a bubble bath or something. There's a lot of stress in your life right now and you deserve some time to unwind."Mariella: "I suppose I could use a break."Noah: "Would you like to go for a walk in the park?"Mariella: "A walk sounds good."Noah: "Do you want to bring your phone?"Mariella: "Not right now."Noah: "Okay, see you soon."Noah stood up and followed Mariella toward the front door. As they made their way through the house, Noah wondered how much longer his mother and sister would remain oblivious to the danger they were in. They seemed happy, but Noah suspected that the two women spent most of their free time planning their escape rather than enjoying their newfound freedom. Noah's concern grew as he thought about the possibility that Mr Ryuku had given them a false sense of security to keep them from
"Yes," answered Sadie quietly. Then she added one word after everything else Noah asked her – a single syllable answer which explained nothing further except confirming their worst fears… fear of divorce between two powerful families… family feuds could turn deadly when money became involved… blood might be shed simply out of frustration or anger… some men from wealthy dynasties couldn't handle having less power than others around them (including wives); thus these rich husbands began hiring assassins to eliminate anyone standing in their way—just as Adolph Haspinger had done weeks earlier… Now even David Breda found himself in such a dangerous position that soon he must either choose death over being disowned by the Rijksmuseum clan; or remain married to Aislinn … Or maybe he chose marriage instead thanks to his daughter Missy… This young lady had no patience whatsoever waiting until Marcel reached adulthood; there were too many loopholes in the law since everyone knew kids weren'
Sadie: "No. Because you died first."Marcel didn't understand.Dolores tried to explain: "It was the same night when we ran away from the ghost house, it was around the time Sadie killed you."Dolores continued: "She said it was an accident; she stabbed you and then she collapsed and fainted."Sadie's face clouded over. She was silent for a while before she broke down into tears once again.Dolores hugged Sadie as she sobbed. Marcel sat on the sofa, staring at Sadie as she cried. He wanted to comfort her, but he felt awkward about it. He didn't know how to act in situations like this.Finally, Sadie stopped crying and looked up at Marcel, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.Sadie said: "If I had known that your parents were in danger, I would have saved them."Marcel smiled wryly.Dolores: "I doubt that very much."Sadie said: "It's true though, I should have tried harder to save them."Marcel: "You don't need to worry about that now. They're probably okay now. Maybe they're i
The two of them ran downstairs, Noah was lying in the corridor. He groaned as he slowly stood up.Noah: "Only two ghosts, not bad."Marcel: "Not bad? How many ghosts did you count before we came here?"Noah glanced at the necklace around Sadie's neck and said: "One of them was wearing two of my necklaces. That means – two ghosts."Marcel scowled.Noah chuckled: "I should have known you two would find a way to defeat her."Marcel glared at Noah, then at Dolores, who was trying not to laugh.Noah said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of these two ghosts. And now, you must believe me, or you won't get out alive."Noami: "What do you mean?"Noah: "Nobody will come to rescue you. When you go back to your hotel, I suggest you leave."Marcel and Dolores both exchanged looks, suddenly it occurred to them that Noah was the ghost they were hunting. Then it struck them.Marcel was the most suspicious and the easiest to eliminate because he had been involved in the ghost's murder, but Noah was just
Dolores gazed at the hole in shock, she almost felt she was looking at a dragon's mouth.It wasn't a simple hole, the black sky seemed to have swallowed up the entire mansion, as if it was swallowing the whole world. The scene was beyond description, an abyss appeared beneath her feet.Her hair fluttered wildly and she fell backwards.Marcel immediately grabbed her arm, pulling her up, he stretched out his hand towards the hole.Ghost Gwen looked at the two of them, he clenched his teeth in anger and screamed: "Foolish girl, do you want to die!?"He pulled the dagger from his pocket and threw it at the hole, the dagger flew straight into the hole.His aim was true, a clear sound rang out from the impact.The wall immediately disappeared, a cold wind blew in.Dolores was pulled forward by Marcel, she tried to resist but failed.The hole was far too large, even Marcel and Noah couldn't go through it.But there was a light coming out from the hole, the faint light was like a ray of hope.
------Everything we do impacts someone else's life - Author._____Dolores sat up from her bed and walked towards the other bed, she stood on the side watching Naomi shutted eyes but with the continuous shake of the blanket, she knew Noami was awake, Dolores said: "Noami, get up." Naomi awkwardly opened her eyes, who wouldn't be awake listening to the roars from outside the door! "There appears to be a situation outside." Naomi behaved as if she was calm, but her heart was pumping blood 60 times quicker! She nevertheless wanted to show Dolores that she was also a calm and elegant wealthy lady! At this time, Marcel's audible voice was heard from outside the door: "Do not come outside no matter what happens!"Dolores stroked the knife on her abdomen, taking a deep breath to steady her racing heart, she stepped out of the door.Although Marcel was said to leave everyone to die in this mansion in the book, it wa
