Prologue
Thud!
The sound echoed in the room that suddenly got quiet, their eyes fixated on the bottom of the grand staircase. Everything seemed to be frozen, it seemed as if time stopped, the world stopped turning, as if the darkness of their now blackened souls was releasing its dark empty aura, spreading its evil all around, seeping through their skin and the walls of the silent room, that was only filled with their heavy breaths.
Their eyes bulged out of their heads, unable to look away from the statue-like figure.
“Did that just-“ Thomas choked out, swallowing the lump in his throat.
Slowly brushing past the older blonde, Dylan gripped the railing as he walked down the wooden staircase. Thomas followed behind him, keeping a safe distance, because he feared getting too close to him would leave him empty and heartbroken like his ex-girlfriend.
The chaos that laid at their feet, and below their red hands chilled them both to the bone. Dylan put on a much calmer facade then the British boy, which was strange to the both of them. It would be expected that it would be the other way around, that Dylan would be the one who is paralyzed with fear and Thomas was in charge. Maybe because Dylan secretly feels no remorse from tonight’s strange occurrence.
Bending down he placed his fingers to a cold touch, almost removing it as if he suddenly remembered the event, his fingers hovered and his eyes scanned in search of something that could possible evidently aid them, then stood back up. He gave Thomas a look that he instantly understood, making him tremble at the sight.
Stuttering, Thomas’s teeth chattered as he spoke, “What- What the hell are we supposed to do?”
