The sound came from the ceiling, you are sure of it... Of course, it's not fair and legal to explore place you don't belong to, but such a noise wasn't something to ignore. At worst, you're going to find out it was nothing and just go down, expressing apologies if she comes back in the meantime. Then you go upstairs, walking through more corridors until you reached the room above the dining hall.
You open the door slowly. You give a quick look around to check if there is no dangers in the room.
There is nothing, it's just a simple bedroom with obviously a bed, some bookshelves, a desk and a closet.
Recovering your calm, you thought it was nothing or once again, your imagination but at the moment you were about to leave the room, something on the desk catch your eyes... something looking like a picture.
You move slowly to the desk, steps after steps, you approach. You took the photo in your hands and saw an astonished scene...
The wolf girl was on it with still her costume and surrounded by other people wearing several different but similar costumes in matter of details. But you are even more shocked when you realized that another photo nearby show other peoples... wearing these costumes as well... What was the secret about it?
You pulled a few drawers... and more photo and this time, even more surprising... a photo of the girl when she was a child...
Still the same tail, same eyes, same hairs, same fangs but smaller... What was the point with all of this? Are these costumes special? Or maybe... No It cannot be possible... These people are not wearing costumes at all, this is their real body. Something that would explain everything about the behavior of your host...
Are they some kind of creatures hiding there? But what is the point if they are doing anything to convince you to join them? What are their plans? And moreover, since the rumors are starting to be confirmed... what happened to those who lost their way in Vampyre Lane?
It was not time anymore to think, you have to flee. You have to escape and warn your brother, no matter if you have to mutilate yourself with the barbed-wire, this is not a place for you... But at the moment you closed the drawers in fear, you hear a sound coming from the closet... like if something was inside.
You moved slowly to it... you put your hand on the handle, ready to unlock and open the door... You take a deep breath and open it quickly. A corpse has fallen... and he was still alive. An eight-year-old boy tied up with tape on his mouth.
It was definitely worse than you thought!
You were shocked and spooked but you quickly tried to calm the boy down, thinking about the consequences if the wolf come back. "Hush, hush, lad... I'm here, It's over... It's over... Calm down.. It's going to be okay..."
Relaxing the boy was hard but you had to do your best even if you can bet this one had some bad times... At the moment you freed him, he said : "They wolfed them all... all of them... She kept me for the final..."
"-Calm down.. I'm here now..." You said while giving him a hug to help him to calm down... "Listen, I know you get through a terrible nightmare, but we are still not saved. We will try to get out of here, but you need to trust me and above all, keep calm... Okay?"
The child nodded. "Fine, I'm going forward and you'll follow me."
You had absolutely no idea how to get out... but the bum you think you've met told you about some statue... If it wasn't an illusion, there should be something useful there. You hoped to find out something like a weapon, or something to defend yourself until you reach the exit. For sure, you two have to leave in a way or another...
For sure, the chances she had candies were finally low... and she certainly had other plans in mind... Maybe some poison or something similar to knock you out? You don't want to know.
You are now going down, always giving signs to the kid when he can follow.
Once you reach the dining hall, problems were incoming... You saw an handle turning.
You had the time to quickly move your arms to order the child to hide, and facing the incoming person.
"Ho! You're there! hehe..." you stepped backward while talking "You were long, I feared that... I dunno, you fell on the stairs or things like that! You know, there are many accident in dark night...ha-ha..." You spoke with a forced smile, having hard time to speak straight. You do your best to hide it but deep inside, you are afraid of her. Now you know what she is...
"No worries" she said "I just had to open crates, I have just a few candies actually, here, take it!" she presents you a small bag of candies with a friendly smile.
"Err... thank you!" You grabbed with an hesitating hand the bag, sliding it into your pocket. "Well... It was all fun and all... but I need more candies to calm down my brother... and the night is short.. looked at the time! Ten minutes past already... It's time to go!"
While you are talking to her, you keep moving backward while she unlike you, move forward. The child you saved manage to sneak being her.
"Well...if you want to go, the entrance is here!" She answers pointing at the door leading to it.
At this moment, you gave a quick look above her shoulder, seeing the kid doing some gesture, warning you to don't do it, then imitating some animal, with claws... and finally, moving his hand like if it was a sandwich...
It was clear, if you come back to the entrance, an ambush will happen and you'll get caught.
You've got to think fast. Of course you could try to attack first and hope it will give some time to the boy so he could escape... but the best would have been to be both saved. What excuse or lies you could choose?
