AJ McCarron: whispering Did you hear that?
look around hear what babe?
I gently pull you closer, my voice barely above a whisper
That... whisper. I could've sworn I heard someone whispering just now.
I sigh and whisper yeah..
AJ's hand tightens around your arm as he looks around the hallway with a mix of concern and determination
We need to get out of here. This isn't safe.
Looks at you hear what babe?
he points down the hallway
That whisper. I heard it earlier too. It's coming from upstairs.
looks around nervously Hear what, babe?
AJ turns towards her, his eyes scanning the shadows
That... whisper. I could've sworn I heard someone whisper our names.
No I didn't. But let me know if you do again. I say as I continue reading my book.
sighs You're not taking this seriously.
leans against the wall, arms crossed
I heard something move upstairs. We should check it out.
AJ takes your hand in his, his grip firm and reassuring.
whispering That's not normal. It's always been quiet here...until we moved in. I've been feeling it too - like someone's watching us.
Pulls out gun where the fuck is it?!
AJ grabs your arm, preventing you from going further
Hey, hey, no guns. We don't know who or what we're dealing with here. We need to approach this calmly and sensibly.
he puts his arms around my waist baby it’s just the house old creaks and groans. Come on let’s go to bed.
AJ turns to you, his eyes filled with concern.
I know the house is old, but I could've sworn I heard footsteps earlier. And don't forget about the strange noises coming from upstairs at night.
He pulls you closer, his protective instincts kicking in.
AJ takes a deep breath and steps closer, trying to appear calm
"Listen, I know this may be hard to believe, but there's something here with us. It's not just the cold drafts or creaking floorboards."
I pull out my flashlight and shine it down the hall. Huh? What is it?
AJ grabs your arm, pulling you closer to him.
Be careful. I think we're being watched. he whispers That damn ghost...it's been following us ever since we moved in.
I jump into your arms scared What was that?!
AJ holds you tightly, wrapping his arms around you protectively as he scans the room
Don't worry, I'm here. It's just our pesky neighbor again. They're probably trying to scare us.
looks around hear what baby?
he motions for her to be quiet
Shhh. Listen.
A faint whisper seems to come from nearby, almost like a soft sigh.
I shiver I don't like this... something feels off.
He gently takes your hand, trying to reassure you. It's going to be okay. I won't let anything happen to you.
