[April 16th, 2010] Dear Diary,

This is the night of the dead. This is the night of the dead. This. Will. Be. The. Best. Night. I left journals here on the table here and hopefully everyone will record our adventure for this night. I know I will be chronicling my entire move, I don’t want to miss a thing and hopefully we can combine our journals together to make a book. Yeah… that’d be awesome.

This mansion is so strange, it has been abandoned for so long, yet it is so clean. They say that everyone who was in this house died, but only so little deaths were recorded. Maybe the maids are keeping this house clean… Lol, who am I kidding?

Upon entering this house the door closed, I blame it on the last person…
Everyone has tried to open the door yet it cannot open. Not even our strongest men can make it budge. Sad, isn’t it?
Well, I must be off!

-Maria. <3

I was Invited to come to this place by Maria. This place is spooky. I a not sure I like that fact people died in here. I was reading the reports on my way here in the cab.

But it's well cleaned and abandoned. That doesn't make any sense. I called Titi (Auntie) And she said this place was a waste of time It might be a hoaxed. I don't know what to believe. I was going to leave but Maria is my girl she won't dog me. This place is real if she say it is.

And I love the wine colored room I'm in. The Victorian style of living is all good for me. I might just get me a bed like the one I'm sitting on now with the big wood decorations. And the dolls look like they were really pretty. I might try to revive them. I hope they don't crumble in my hands.

Haha anyways I'm to go look around and find Maria
Muah You all get a Hershey Kiss


By the way I used to be Beba...

Dear Diary,

I am new in this piece of crappy house,but hey! At least she got some pretty cool stories about people dieing in here,so I might enjoy myself in here.I mean,yeah-to be frank-I am a bit scared,but still I really don't know about this all murder stuff.

I guess I just have to stick around and see what the heck happens,until then mostly,I will try and settle down in this room and see if others will join this small "adventure" in the hunted house.haha! That sure sounds funny..

The only thing that scares me indeed it is,the damn door won't open!I guess the ghosts or spirits from here won't let us out to soon.Damn it..but I am sure we will find out a way outta of here,sooner or later.

Oh well,I must go for now..see ya later!Bye~

Dear Diary,
I received an invitation to stay at a "haunted" house over night. They say that there have been many murders and deaths here. Michael keeps getting louder, I think I may black out soon, it scares me because I know there are other people here that don't know about him. I brought extra meds just in case, but I don't think they'll do any good. I've seen Maria, and one of her other friends Angelica, but I don't really know any of the others, at least not as well as I'd like to. I think Maria's idea for the diary's is a good idea, even though I don't really think this place is haunted. The door got stuck closed after everyone came inside, no ones been able to open it at all.

Well, I guess I should go socialize, I don't want to be rude and hide out in this room all night. Even though hiding is exactly what I want to do. I really don't like being around people when Michael is this loud, maybe I'll be able to suppress him for awhile. I don't know, but don't worry I'll be back. God knows I love documenting every minute of my life, mostly for medical reasons but it works. I shall return soon.

Not a fan of the journals. I suppose they will be useful. Well, I'll just write everything that happens. That's what we are supposed to do, right? Well, not long after arriving here I got an invite (it was not signed, strange) from someone that probably just wants to play a prank on the new guy. Well, I showed up and there were already a few other people here. I introduced myself, even though a couple of them were familiar from school, and was told by Maria that we are keeping journals. Well, why not? I was invited and came, so I should follow the rules. I grabbed one along with a pen and went along wtih with it. Stupid spelling mistakes...I'll have to be more careful. Well, that's all that has happened for now. I'll write again soon, I'm sure.

We're here. At the mansion. Maria hasn't shut up about it for weeks. And I have to admit; I'm intrigued. Now I'm here, things are shaping up to be pretty odd. The door shut behind us and we're trapped. For some reason, I find myself buzzing with excitement instead of fear. I didn't even bother trying to open the door. I'm confident in the knowledge that when the time is right, we'll find a way out. When this is all done, when we're finished - we will go home and smile at the thought of the time we spent here when we read these recorded moments years later.

There are a few people here with me; some of them I recognise from school before I left, and some I don't remember, or simply don't know. I look forward to talking to old friends and making new ones. But I look forward to exploring this house even more. There is so much I've heard about it, so many secrets, so many scandals. And death. I want to learn more about this arcane acropolis.

I can feel the strange essence of this place, flowing from the walls and surrounding us. Whether it is an embrace, or something more sinister, I cannot know for sure. We'll only know when we delve deeper. And we shall.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Dear Diary,

Quinny makes me laugh so hard! He is giddying in excitement over this one night stay. God, I wish this trip would last more than just one day. Well, as I sit here and sigh, everyone seems to be enjoying their stay so far, I think. Ohhh, if only they knew what I was packing in my bra. I’m just a big giggle monster, teehee.

“Quinny-kins, you do realize that we are stuck here? There is not going to be a way out.” Hah, I’m getting the most enjoyment out of th-

Oh my fucking God. There came a bang from within the kitchen. No one is fucking in there. No one. I rushed into the kitchen from the living room and nothing fell, all there was in that kitchen was a dusty card. I’m going to read it out loud and attach it to my diary.

-Maria.

Dearest residents,

I would like to congratulate you on your stay on this haunted day. I do hope that you will survive and that you will each have a quite gruesome death at 12:00 AM this evening. Oh, what a glorious night this is! Well, hidden away in the dining room under some old boards are some pistols… Actually, enough guns for your entire party. I do hope you utilize them wisely, I don’t want any one of you dying by the hands of the flesh.

April 16th, 2010.

Dear Diary,

Ok..this is f*cking awesome!! I mean..no! Holy crap! I wonder what was that about.And yet..I always thought that I might die in a alcohol depression stuffing myself with some sweets.But this,is indeed weird,I am really thinking that this after all might have been a good idea to join this "hunted house".
I am wondering why though in the note said that we got pistols,I am guess that this may be a prank or just a stupid "Game" where we are the players and the Game Mode is s*rewing with our damn minds..

In any case,I will go and get myself the damn pistol,though I don't think I ever used one before,but hey! There is always a first time in everything.Even in dieing.
Let the Game start!

From Mio,the crazy Lady~

Entry 2

I haven't been saying much to the others. I wonder if I am the scapegoat here. If everyone is just trying to scare me since I am the new guy. The house seems creepy, but it isn't overly so. Just an od old hose house that no one has been in for a long time. (Stupid spelling errors...) The bang from the other room made me jump, but just about everyone else did too, so I'm not so embarressed.

The note that the girl named Maria read was really creepy. I figured one of them just planted it there before we got here. The bit about pistols kind of disturbed me. What are we supposed to do with pistols? I went to pull up the oldest looking boards in the dining room like the note said and sure enough there were pistols. Exactly one for each person. Okay, planted again? I took one and checked the clip. It was full with bullets.

Now I'm freaking out. I sure hope no one goes crazy. I haven't used a pistol before and I'm sure my aim is terrible. This sucks! I ran into someone going to get their pistol, but I had already grabbed them to bring to the group. I handed her one and went to give everyone else theirs. I asked them, "What do you suppose they are for?" I was finally getting scared.

Diary,

I tried meeting up with the group, but I got lost. Wonderful. Just fucking great. I don’t even know where I am at… wait, I hear Maria’s voice. Heh, I knew she wouldn’t let me disappear. A little boy ran down the hallway and told me to follow him. Am I seriously fucking seeing things? [The rest is scribbled out.]

“Hello, Angelica.” The boy smiled and led Angelica to his play room. Nothing but toys were scattered out and the closet door was wide open where he stayed. She kneeled down at him and gave him a look of confusion.

“Hmm, what are you doing in the closet?” She asked as she reached out her hand to comfort him. He grabbed her and pulled her close to his face. A wicked grin crossed his pale face. Angelica tried to push him off but her hands kept moving through him, he was not going anywhere.

She screamed as the boy drew a knife that hid under a pile of clothes and sliced it through her chest. As the boy disappeared, she fell down while blood came from her wound. Her last gasp of air came just before she saw a man stand at the door and fade away.

Dear Diary,
I am starting to get really scared, the note Maria found said something about guns. When Jacob offered me one I quickly declined. With my condition I shouldn't have anything that could harm other people, I don't trust myself or Michael. I feel like he is right there on the surface, I think the others have noticed me acting weird. I'm glad the new guy came, I wasn't sure he would after I sent him the invitation.

~Damian

-20 minutes later-

Why hello.
I almost thought Damian would be able to keep me hidden. I don't like that we are here with so many people, but I was walking down the hall earlier and found the body of one of the girls that came in with us. I didn't yell out right away. I reached down and touched her wound. The blood was still warm, there was a little life left in her eyes. I watched it drain away, as I tasted the blood on my finger tip. I closed her eyes before calling out to the others. I tried hard to look scared but I don't think all of them bought it. I want them to know it's not Damian anymore, but I don't know how to tell them.

~Michael
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.

"You don't know that, Maria dear," I said, poking her affectionately in the stomach. Where there's a will, there's a way. Well, actually - where there's a window to smash, there's a way out.

Maria is such an odd girl at times.
But then, I suppose I'm an odd boy.

I took one of the pistols from the new kid. Jacob...I think that was his name.
"They're ice cream scoops," I replied to him with a roll of my eyes. The clip was full and the weight felt reassuring in my hand. I tossed it from hand to hand, smiling at the sound of the metal components sliding against each other. This could do some real damage; this could kill. I like that.

I could see the parts of my mind no one else could, unraveling themselves in the corners of the rooms, dancing through the shadows and dashing through the thin beams of moonlight that filter through the windows. I smiled and waved at one of the familiar faces; a young girl, she was one of the nicer ones. Tallulah. She doesn't scream or shout. She waved back, giggled and ran off down the hallway.
Sometimes, I forget that other people don't see what I see. Maria knows, though. Sort of. I told her, but I didn't tell her everything.

A scream pulled me away from watching Tallulah. I looked up, the others seemed startled. That scream, that sound of terror - it brought a grin to my face. I checked the safety on the gun was on before sliding it into the back of my jeans. It could be accessible to anyone who wanted to take it from me, but I didn't particularly care.

"Let's go see," I spoke rapidly with an excited grin.

I set off at a run, heading in the direction I heard the scream come from. I passed Damian on the way, I nodded to him, though I didn't know if he noticed.

I could smell the blood as I got nearer. Tallulah skipped ahead of me, her laughter filled the hallway, echoing, the delight in her tones reverberating off walls. I stopped in the doorway as I spotted something. Tallulah was already in the room, picking her way through the scattered toys and looking at a few of them.

I stepped into the room, too look closer at the shape on the floor.
It was Angelica. Blood amalgamated with the floor and her clothes.
For a moment, I simply stood and watched. She was dead, but I could see the blood soaking into the carpet, getting closer to my feet.

I sat down beside her, crossing my legs to be comfortable. My heart raced and I couldn't discern whether it was from excitement or fear. I reached out and wrapped a hand round her wrist. Her skin was pale, growing cold. I lifted her arm, waving it from side to side. Her hand flopped uselessly from side to side. I giggled at the sight, my own laughter drifting into the cold room and intwining with the sound of Tallulah's higher pitched laughter.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Diary,

Jacob handed me the gun. It was heavy in my hand, but I could still carry it. I turned the safety on and then shoved it in my pants. Oh how I love guns. After my talk with Quinny, we all sat in silence. You know, I haven’t seen Angelica in a while.

Just as I wrote those words above, screams echoed into the living room. Quinny told us all to go see what it was and I rushed directly behind him. I nodded at Damian and then walked into the room. Oh Angelica! I held her limp body in my arms, “Angelica… Angelica, why?” My tears smeared my makeup. I have only Quinnykins here now. He understood me as much as Angelica did.

Until next time, Diary.

Entry 3

I was left with two guns. One that was mine, and one that one of the others didn't want. I didn't know his name yet, but he seemed rather afraid of it. Well, whatever the reason, I now had two fully loaded guns. Everyone seemed to look up in unison as there was a scream. What has happened? We all went upstairs to investigate.

A girl was laying in a pool of blood. I thought it was a joke at first. That everyone was about to point and laugh at me. However, once I saw the wound in her stomach, I knew it was no joke. Okay, I was freaking out now. Someone in this house just killed this girl. I looked around at everyone. I was shaking and trying to figure out who could have done it. I yelled out that I didn't want to die and ran from the room.

However, I didn't go far. Whoever killed her may not be in that room. So I just waited outside the door. The guns were heavy in my pockets. The safety on both was on, of course. I pulled one out to carry on me at all times. I would have pointed it at people so they wouldn't move near me, but that may have gotten them to kill me themselves with their guns. I just kept it in my lap. A nice place I could have easy access to in case someone attacked me while I was writing. However, once I am done, I will keep it in my hand. My pen will easily fit in my pocket without the other gun, and this notebook can fit in the back of my pants. It may feel a little strange, but there is no where else to keep it.

Diary,
So far no one has said anything about me acting different. They better be more observant, if they plan on surviving the night here. I don't know who killed that girl, Angelica, but I know it was no one from the group. I think I'm actually starting to believe in ghosts. Damian isn't so stupid after all. At least he isn't fighting, yet.

I'm not sure how I will react if I notice someone else disappear. I'm not sure if I should act all worried, like I know Damian would, or if I should fallow them, and get a good look at our resident murderer. I wonder how old this specific ghost is, or if there are really more then one. So many questions with so little time to discover all the truth....
