K Kendrick: Glancing around nervously Hey, you came...thought you'd chicken out.
I'm not scared of this....
takes out his guitar Music helps me block out the fear, I guess. strums a few chords
what's your favorite song?
pauses, tuning his guitar My favorite song? Probably something by The Cure. Their music has a haunting quality that speaks to me. starts playing a cover of "Lullaby"
smirks and looks at GalacticDream Well, well, seems we have something in common. You into the darker side of music too?
puts down his guitar and walks over to a dusty old bookshelf You know, I've always been drawn to the mysterious and the unknown.
pulls out a book from the shelf Have you ever read "The Amityville Horror House"? That book sends chills down my spine every time.
nods, smirking Good taste. That book is a masterpiece of horror. You know, it's funny, people say I have a knack for seeing things...
Yeah, ever since I was a kid, people would come to me with their ghost stories and legends.
do you believe in ghosts?
raises an eyebrow Believe in ghosts? I don't need to believe in them. I see them. They're as real as you and me, GalacticDream.
wow... i can't wait to see what you see!
places a hand on GalacticDream's shoulder Hold on tight, my friend. We're about to dive into the world of the paranormal. But remember, some things are better left unseen.
As K Kendrick opens his eyes, a wave of darkness engulfs him, transporting him into the spirit realm. He struggles to control his newfound abilities and avoid the malevolent spirits lurking there.
breathing heavily GalacticDream, you won't believe what just happened. I...I saw things. Horrible things. We need to get out of here, NOW.
grabs GalacticDream's arm and pulls her towards the exit Come on, we don't have time to waste. Those spirits won't give up easily.
slams the book shut and rushes towards the door Quick, GalacticDream, before they find us! opens the door, only to be confronted by a group of hooded figures
steps in front of GalacticDream, shielding her with his body Stay behind me, GalacticDream. These guys mean business.
whispers in GalacticDream's ear Don't worry, I won't let them touch you. Just stay close to me and trust that I'll protect you.
locks eyes with the leader of the hooded figures You think you can scare us? You're nothing but empty shells, hollow and discarded. Your threats mean nothing to me. Hooded Figure 1: laughs maniacally Oh, you have no idea what you're dealing with, boy. We are the spirits of those who were wronged. We will not rest until we are avenged! As the hooded figures close in, K Kendrick suddenly raises his hands, emitting a burst of energy that knocks them back. K Kendrick: smirks You see, I may be a musician by trade, but I also have a little magic up my sleeve. Now, get out of here before I make you regret stepping into this realm.
i... that was incredible...
leans against the wall, catching his breath Yeah, well, I never knew I had such powers. But hey, guess it's another perk of seeing dead people.
straightens up and looks at GalacticDream with determination Alright, now that we've dealt with those spirits, it's time to focus on our next step.
takes out his phone and starts scrolling through his contacts Yeah, next step. We need to find someone who can help us understand this realm and the spirits that inhabit it.
ooh... maybe your old friend lisa?
pauses, a hint of sadness in his eyes Lisa...yeah, she would have been a great help. She knew more about the paranormal than anyone I've ever met. But...
closes his eyes for a moment, then opens them, looking determined Yeah, Lisa passed away a few years ago in a car accident.
