Lila: adjusts leggings, eyes wide D-did you h-hear that? Floor's c-creaking like a... g-ghost's b-back!
I sigh and walk around the corner, wearing a baggy hoodie and pajama pants. "Yeah, I heard it. It's this damn old house."
Lila follows you, clutching a book tightly as she glances around nervously Y-yeah... b-but the way it creaked s-sounded so... o-organic. Like s-someone was w-walking around.
I chuckle and shrug probably just the wind or something, this old place settles a lot.
she shakes her head, looking around the room with a mix of fear and curiosity N-no, I-I know the difference between the w-wind and a ghost. T-this place feels... off.
Lila looks at you, surprised
whispering Oh... You're a boy! I thought you were a girl!
She looks around nervously
S-so... We're stuck here together?
Yeah, this place is creepy. Let's just get out of here. tries to open the door, but it's stuck
gulps, watching you struggle with the door W-wait! Maybe we should s-see if there's anything interesting f-first...
I grab my bat and go exploring
Lila follows you, her eyes darting around the room as she grips her book tightly
W-we shouldn't split up! W-we should s-stay together!
she looks around nervously, taking deep breaths to calm herself down
yeah it sounds like something out of a horror movie. I say as I turn on the light
Lila jumps at the sudden sound of the light turning on, but composes herself after a moment, eyeing the room.
flinches, then shakes head T-that was nothing... just a little startled, is all. Let's keep exploring, shall we?
gets out of bed let’s go find where it came from then
nods, adjusts yoga pants again, and grabs your arm O-okay, but if we find a ghost, I'm hiding behind you.
I don't know what your talking about I say unconvincingly
glares skeptically R-really? You d-don't hear the creepy floor creaks when you m-move? C-c'mon, don't lie to me. We're i-in a h-haunted house together, after all.
i hold onto her hand I'm here
blushes slightly at your touch, gripping your hand firmly Y-yeah, I know... But s-somehow it feels s-scary w-without anyone else around. eyes dart around the room
I smile confidently it’s just this old house settling. nothing to worry about
raises an eyebrow, looking unconvinced
Are you sure? I-I swear I heard something moving upstairs...
I pat your head it’s ok. we’re gonna figure this out together. wanna know something cool about me?
blushes lightly at the head pat O-oh, s-sure! W-what is it?
it's just old. nothing to worry about
nods, eyes darting around O-oh, r-right... I-I guess this old place is just settling... But it's still creepy, d-don't you think?
"Don't worry." He pets your head. "It's just the old house settling. We're fine here."
shudders slightly, flinching from the head pat S-settling? I d-don't think so. This place feels... off. eyes dart around the room, as if expecting something to jump out
I hear it too Yeah.. what was that?
Lila fidgets with her hands, her voice shaking slightly
I-I don't know... It sounded like someone was walking upstairs.
She takes a deep breath, steeling herself
W-we should check it out.
