In Love With A Monster

The hallways were very dark, with lots of doll babies hanging all around. It was such a strange sight to behold because everything I had come across was stained with blood Only one of the dolls was not stained.

As I made my way deeper into the mansion the sound of dripping water could also be heard from afar, as I followed our gang leader whose name is Scorpion. A splash was heard as we all paused at the same time. Darkness loomed around us as we walked past the hallways of the abandoned castle. It was rumored that anyone who enters there doesn't come out alive from there.

I knew going on this mission was a bad idea, as I bent my head down to recite the lord's prayer. One of the gang members said he knows who the mystery man is apart from the fact that they are not from the same colony. I told them going into this house was not a good idea. Whoever had lived here had lots of enemies, and that was what brought about their destruction.

Why should we go and clean up their mess? I whispered, clearly and frustrated.

"So what of the innocent neighbors who want to find out what is going on? They killed their children, for crying out so loud!" Another member of the gang whispered reprimanding.

It was their fault for not minding their business Tops replied angrily who goes into a house that is being haunted by God's knows what. At least one of the children had a phone and would it have hurt if they had called the police when they realize that they were in danger.

The other members of the gang remained silent knowing that what Tops said was the truth.

"Shhh!" Scorpion reprimanded eyeing angrily. We immediately got a hold of our guns ready to fight anything that comes out knowing full well that today might be our last day here on earth. As we all patrolled slowly into the castle we saw more dolls that were clothed with blood. Whoever did this/has an affinity for mirrors. There was a lot of destruction but the mirrors that were present were left intact. All of a sudden, the house shooked as we all stilled and poised for attack. But we didn't see anything whatever attacked us was not human we started shooting randomly hoping to hit whatever it was that have come to attack us. I tried looking around the room as I examine what the monster was all of a sudden.......

Note:this story is pure fiction. so guys I need your honest review on this chapter.

Suddenly, I felt someone pulling my head so hard as he flings me hitting my head so hard on the wall immediately I became unconscious.

"My eyes fluttered open as I found myself in a dark room." This time around there was no doll hanging on the wall.

As I spent some seconds blinking to regain consciousness I kept slipping in and out of it.

"Creeks"

The door creaked open as a man in his late twenties who looks very cute with a pair of blue eyes, walks in with a tray of food and a pair of new cloth. I positioned myself in a strategic corner of the bed, as I stare at the man who was already walking toward me.

Fear engulfed me, as he stares coldly at me.

"He angrily put down the plastic tray with floral design carrying a porcelain cup and a saucer, with a plate covered with food."

"When you are done eating, you change into this cloth he said with a deep voice."

"So rude"

The man whose name was still unknown to me left immediately after dropping the tray. I stood up carefully as I opened the plate of food and munched on the food immediately.

"Mmmh the cardamom, and coconut cream are just right."

"Wow this is so delicious I said as I lick my lips in excitement."

After the filling breakfast, I lazily stretched myself on the bed, gazing at the sun with my eyes a little bit closed. The rays are making me drunk with laziness, I stare at the new cloth that was folded and kept on the bed. Suddenly I felt the urge to stand up and change.

I could barely walk as I drag my feet and headed towards the bathroom with a towel. The heater knob was not properly locked. Water was dropping inside the bucket, tam-tam. I hastily took my bath and closed the tap, and went back to the room with my towel tied firmly around my body.

I put on the cloth with ease. "I sat at the edge of the bed as I spotted a photograph who could that be?" I asked myself.

I pick the picture it was the same man that brought the food and cloth, I stared at the picture wondering what could be his name "Logan" I saw a name at the back of the frame could that be his name?

"Creeeaak"

The door opens cutting me out of my thoughts.

★★★★The Next day★★★★

I was tired of staying inside the room all day without doing anything, so I decided to take a stroll around the haunted castle. As I walked through the hallways I discovered that one of the rooms was opened.

Out of curiosity, I Peered through one of the rooms I saw two dead bodies laid on top of the bed I went further inside to take a closer look. That was when I found out that they were two of my gang members. One of them was our gang leader, how come? What happened to them?

"I hate him" he is so rude.

★★★★FlashBack★★★ ★

After my head hit the wall my eyes were still wide open as one of our gang members tries to challenge the monster it kept changing into different creatures and immediately swept our leader "Scorpion" off his feet.

He held him so tight and started strangling him to death, Green noticed it and immediately pick up a stick hitting the monster so hard. He clenched his jaws angrily still holding Scorpion very tight.

"Bloody leeches he let out a long annoyed hiss under his breath."

He turned his back and grab Green so hard breaking his bones one by one. That was when I started falling unconscious.

★★★★End Of Flashback ★★★★

I looked closely at the two dead bodies "oh! no this is Scorpion and Green I can't believe this."

I ran out of the room shocked, this is unbelievable.

"Oh my God! What did I just see

I entered the room and locked the door almost immediately. Was Logan the monster?"

"Creeeaak!"

The old castle door screeched loudly as I heard footsteps fast approaching my room.

"Who could that be"? I heard a faint knock on the door.

I stood up peeping through the keyhole, Oh! no, it was him. What should I do? Immediately I pick up one of the knives I used for eating I hid it carefully under my shorts. I slowly open the door.

Hi,

I can see you are done eating. How are you feeling now? he asked.

I am okay, I mumbled slowly.

He smiled.

"That's okay, I will send a maid to you to take you on a tour around the castle. I am sure you would love it inside my castle."

I twitched and turned to him again.

"Your castle? I thought it was a haunted house owned by a mysterious creature? How come it is yours? Or are you the monster?" I asked him.

★★★★Later In The Evening★★★★

In the evening, a lady walked in with a basket, she introduced herself.

"Good evening ma'am" she greeted calmly shining her sparkling white teeth. "I am Lydia"

I got to see the garden, swimming pool, and recreational area in the end, I got to confess this place was damn too big and stocked with a lot of fun things.

Later, she took me to the library it was looking too old. The library is small, but the shelves were filled with a great variety of books.

Lydia and I spent time together, talking mostly about the recreational areas in the castle.
