It was late at night, and there was two brothers playing around inside their bedroom cause they don't want to sleep yet, then the older brother, Jake decided to share to Alex a rumour he heard recently when he was helping Grandma Joyce with the grocery.
"Hey, have you heard a rumour about the abandoned mansion near us? They said it was haunted!", Jake said to Alex, his eyes shining in anticipation of showing off his (self-proclaimed) story telling talent.
"H-haunted!?", Alex cowered, both at what his brother is telling him and the shining eyes of his brother that tends to mean bad news for him.
"Yes, they said that it used to be a beautiful mansion where Duke Mirandiehl resides with his family."
"Mirandiehl? The prime minister?", Alex asked his brother.
"That's the one, he used to have a very energetic daughter, it was said that her smile was so radiant it would light up the room. That daughter really likes stuffed toys you see, so her family and people far and wide will give her a stuffed toy on special occasions. They're harmonious days continued until one day...an unfortunate accident claim the life of his young daughter. The duke was so overcome with grief that he and his family moved to another mansion, not being able to bear to be constantly reminded of his memories of her.
"Poor duke...", Alex said sympathetically, he can't imagine how sad it must be to lose a family.
"That is not the end of the story, now is where the juicy part begin, you see, being an abandoned mansion, there was sone people that had tried to scrounge up any remain of the duke's wealth but failed to find anything of value but...they had said that they felt as if they were being watched, and how they found some old torn up stuffed toys in weird places, such as the dining room, in the middle of the hallway, those kind of places. Though the scariest thing is that whenever they went back to the same spot...sometimes...those stuffed toys are just...no longer there, as if someone moved them~"
"Hiiii!", Alex shrieked in terror, glancing at his own stuffed rabbit in apprehension.
"Hahaha relax Alex don't faint just yet, there's a bit more to the story. Anyway, where was I?...Ah yeah, it was thought that perhaps it was the ghost of his daughter still lingering in the mansion, not passing on, because you see, in those searches they find a bedroom, unlike the other dusty places, that bedroom is spotless even though no one has been there for a long time and there it was...a pristine doll with white hair was found sitting alone on the bed, staring at them silently with her green glassy bead eyes. Despite it not doing anything those people got creeped out and immediately left the mansion. Then, one by one those trespassers were found dead on their beds, their eyes pierced by pencils and their blood smeared against the wall, showing a bloody drawing of their screaming faces.
Apparently, that doll was a gift from her brother, designed to look like her. It was said that the girl's soul still resides inside that doll to this day and she won't take kindly to any who covet what's hers...So! What do you of my story telling skills A...lex? ...Well, I guess that's a bit too much for this scaredy cat. Come on Alex, get up, let's get you to bed.", Jake lift up the fainted Alex and move him to his bed as he yawns and goes to sleep himself.
........
In a certain mansion's bedroom, rows of stuffed toys line up neatly along the walls, all facing toward the single doll occupying the bed whose eyes are closed, before the eye lid twitches and flap open, lighting up the room in an eerie green.
.......
Hahaha, when MC said that the doll was scary, this story suddenly writes itself in my mind. Maybe I watch to many horror game let's plays.
