The Mystery Of The Moriarty's Mansion
La Danse Macabre || Halloween Short Stories | WayVAkai sighed as looked at the videos of her new article that she was all excited to write about. Horror and mystery were amongst the many things that she just adored to read and write about. Her eyes will always shine with delight and curiosity whenever she would be checking it out.
“If no one is going to do it then I’ll.” The young woman stood up and had a determined look in her eyes. That new topic could be somehow dangerous and at a location which was unknown to her.
Wanderlust was in her veins.
The man next to her just sigh and had a lazy expression on his face, “Akai I know you’re determined but there have been too many incidents around that place.”
He sipped onto his drink and sighed, “Not to forget many had disappeared without a trace.”
The red haired woman named Akai pout and just dropped onto her seat, “I know Hendery but I just want a good documentary about the place. Also the Moriarty's mansion is amongs the places I really wanted to visit. Also its such a big chance that I got chosen to be amongst those lucky people. Also..” He leaned closer to the man, her eyes shining with curiosity, “Don’t you want to know what is hidden into the other world.” A big smile shone on her features.
Hendery just sighed, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Akai pinches his cheeks and he groaned, getting away and she laughed, “You’re so cute when you act like you don’t care.” She took her camera in her hands, “Scotland here I come.” She beamed and raised her fist into the air with laughter.
Hendery just smiled and shook his head at the excited woman.
She waved goodbye to her colleague and grabbed her car keys making her way to her car.
Her destination?
Eilean Donan Castle.
She has heard stories about it but what interested her more was what was hidden in the catacombs of such castles. She wanted to feel the thrill and chill running down her spine as she discovered all the mystery of it.
When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.
After a long two hours ride with the adrenaline and excitement flowing into her veins, she finally reached a small port where she would have to take a boat to go onto the island of Loch Duich where the infamous castle was located.
She smiled as she looked over the ocean where her adventure will begin.
“Why is such a beautiful lady like you wanting to go to such places?”
The woman rolled her eyes as her excitement got interrupted.
Akai looked back with the most pissed off expression she could contain on her features to see a man in his 40s asked as he looked at her with a creepy smile. He looked quite drunk as he was moving from side to side with that disgusting smile still on his face.
His cigarette hung onto his darkened red lips as he looked at her from head to toe. Akai felt quite uncomfortable by the looks that he was giving her but she kept her poker face. She was already disgusted.
As a child you were scared of the monster under your bed and the shadow people in the corners of your room but as you grew up, you realised that the true horror are the humans.
He laughed at her discomfort, “There are better places for you to be at,” she scoffed quietly.
His hand then reached to her and he squeezed it, “If you come with me I’ll show you a good time eh.” Akai gritted her teeth and just when she was about to hit the man with a firm fist.
The man screamed in pain and held onto his hand that was now bleeding.
Akai looked back to see no one other than her best friend and colleague Huang Hendery holding a bloody fork in his hand and he was munching on what seemed to be friend rice in the most calming and serene demeanor he has, “I cannot even eat in peace without some disgusting old man harassing people right in front of me.”
The man glared at Hendery who just smirked, “If you attack any of us I will be sure to aim at your eyeball next time and..” He pointed the bloody fork at a camera, “There’s proof so you better watch your actions.” The old ert cursed under his breath and he made his way to the boat.
Akai sighed in relief and hugged Hendery who chuckled and patted her back, “I cannot even leave you for one minute.”
“I’m so glad to see you here.” Akai smiled at him, “But what are you doing here? I thought you didn’t want to come?” She questioned quite confused as she thought that he had some business to attend to.
Hendery shrugged, “I heard Halloween is very interesting at this time period so…”
Akai laughed, “Awww you were worried about me?” She questioned teasingly.
Hendery got a bit embarrassed but just looked away, he cleared his throat, “Anyway let’s just go.” He said dragging the laughing woman inside the boat.
After an hour of riding the ferris, they finally reached the island where the infamous castle was located and Akai was just mesmerized by the surrounding and she looked at it in complete and utter admiration, “It’s so beautiful..” Hendery just nodded and they made their way to their rooms. Hendery’s room was down the corridor while Akai was a few rooms ahead.
She started to unpack her belongings, she looked around the room and the decor was really quite unique. It was all in ancient woods and there was even a balcony that showcased the ocean.
Even the most haunted places can be breathtaking.
She changed into more comfortable clothes and threw herself on the comfortable bed, she snuggled into the warm blanket and was ready to fall into the arms of Morpheus but fate had some other sinister plan for her this night.
The silence was broken by a piercing scream.
Her eyes shot open and she jumped out of the bed. Her heart was racing, she had quite a bad feeling about it and expected the worst but she hurriedly took a jacket and immediately reached for the door. She opened it and she saw that the other occupants did the same.
They saw a woman with her eyes wide open dressed in a main uniform pointing her shaking fingers at the inside of a room.
Hendery was immediately at Akai’s side and with
