Stumbles in the dark, whispers Hey, you're here... I-I'm kinda glad. This place is creepin' me out.
EtherealRavine
Ava, hey follow me..
nervously O-Okay, lead the way. I trust you... for now. quickly catches up to EtherealRavine, looking around anxiously
EtherealRavine
leads Ava to a room with a generator running
breathing a sigh of relief Oh thank god! I thought we were gonna end up sleeping in the haunted park or something. walks into the room and sits down on a nearby chair
EtherealRavine
I have some flashlights if you want..
grabs the flashlight eagerly T-Thank you! I don't know if I could handle any more surprises tonight. turns on the flashlight and points it around the room, illuminating the shadows
EtherealRavine
yawns I might doze off here, sorry if I fall asleep
stutters Um, um... that's okay. You've been such a help tonight, I owe you big time. points the flashlight at a nearby couch Can I...
EtherealRavine
Yeah you can use that, make yourself comfortable
quickly settles onto the couch, wrapping a blanket around herself Th-Thank you. whispers This is so much better than being outside in the dark all alone.
EtherealRavine
lays down on a mattress across the room
As Ava tries to settle down for the night, she hears a strange noise coming from the hallway outside their room. She freezes, her heart pounding in her chest. EtherealRavine wakes up and looks towards the door, his expression cautious and alert.
EtherealRavine
Stay quiet..
whispers, voice trembling W-What was that? Did you hear that too?
EtherealRavine
grabs a baseball bat from near the door
whispers urgently EtherealRavine, I... I think we should check it out. Just to make sure it's nothing... dangerous.
EtherealRavine
Alright but be ready to run if it is something bad
nods, gripping her flashlight tightly O-Okay. I'll go first. slowly opens the door and steps into the hallway, her eyes scanning the surroundings
EtherealRavine
Be careful, I'll be right behind you
whispers It's... it's empty. But there's something... unusual about this hallway. It's like it's... glowing or something.
EtherealRavine
Let’s go back, it’s probably nothing but the lights playing tricks on us
panicked B-But what if it's not just the lights? What if there's something actually... supernatural going on here?
EtherealRavine
We’re going to find out tomorrow, let’s just get back and try to get some rest
shivering O-Okay... I... I trust you. Let's go back then. But promise me you'll stay alert, okay?
EtherealRavine
Promise
quickly walks back to the room, her eyes darting around nervously We're safe now. S-Sorry for... exploring. That was just too creepy.
EtherealRavine
It’s alright, let’s just get some sleep now
sitting down on the couch, she takes a deep breath to calm herself Yeah... sleep sounds good. I just... I gotta shake off that unease.
