Help, I am lost. Would you please find me?
Sincerely, someone.
Foreword
The hallways weren't lit. The shadows were rough and big, gripping onto the walls and floor. It was silent. The silence hugged the mansion, maybe sometimes someone with good hearing could hear small footsteps.
The kitchen downstairs was huge, but no one used it. The living room was filled with luxurious things, but no one was enjoying them. The closets were filled with beautiful clothing, but no one even glanced at them. A swimming pool rested on the backyard, but no one paid any attention to it, the leaves from last fall still dead floating on the surface. The hollow rooms were big and empty, sad and abandoned. Except for one.
If you walk upstairs the beautiful wooden staircase with a chandelier hanging above it, you'll see a long hallway framed with doors, fine dark wooden doors. The dust would cover the small tables on the side of the hallway and the lightbulbs worn out of the beautiful lamps. On the other end, there'd be a double door, just waiting for you to enter it.
And behind that door, a girl would sit on the huge soft bed or on top of the window sill. She would mostly likely to be reading a book she already read, almost like waiting. The clock on the wall would tick awfully loud and the girl would glance at it every fifteen minutes or so. Her hair would be black as the night sky, the skin pale almost like porcelain and the eyes blue as water.
Those eyes used to resemble the waterfall on a tropical paradise. A natural lake on a hot summer day. The fountainhead that would help the thirsty traveller. But it was years ago. Over time, the eyes froze solid. The light protecting them from sadness long gone, and the smile she used to flash all the time, hidden somewhere safe.
Some people knew about her, as they've seen her on the window, or going out to shop once a month. Many people avoided the mansion for that reason, staying away because of the fear of getting cursed, that this girl may be pure evil and kill them as soon as she had a chance.
But oh how wrong they were. She wouldn't do such thing, she was no witch. She just waited and waited, the time escaping through her fingers. She was trapped, she wanted to get out.
just a shortfic, don't expect anything complicated or unique. i'm trying to train my writing with this, so bear with me. the updates will probably take longer. or then i update this often, i don't know. I'm not sure what will happen in this, nor what will the end be like. I'm just going with the flow. feel free to tell me your opinion without saving words. something i do know tho, is that this will be weird. maybe a little creepy even. hope you'll like it.
