Chapter 40 - Place change

On the Way

Megan: "Yes… yes, Amber sis, you can do it!" 😅

Amber: "Hmmmm." 😐

Megan: "Can you at least tell us where we're going? Knowing the destination would make it a bit less… scary." 😅

Joseph: "Yeah, please sis… it's really unsettling not knowing." 😅

Amber: (calm, almost cold) "Don't worry. We're going to Harry's house." 😒

Megan: "Huh… why?" 😅

Amber: "You'll understand when we get there." 😎

Megan: (relieved, at least a little) "Okay… I guess that's something." 😅

At the Location

The car rolled to a stop in front of a massive, intimidating gate. It loomed high, rusted and foreboding.

Joseph: "Looks like he's not home… sis?" 😁

Megan: "Shall we just go back?" 😅

Amber: (glancing at them, expression unreadable) "Do either of you have anything else to do right now?" 😐

Megan & Joseph: "No… sis." 😅

Amber: "Then let's go." 😐

She pressed the accelerator, the car moving deeper into the shadows.

When they reached their destination, both Megan and Joseph froze.

Megan: 😱

Joseph: 😱

Before them stood a colossal building—a palace-like mansion, decayed yet grand. Its dark, imposing architecture radiated an almost tangible aura of dread. Anyone seeing it for the first time might have sworn it was haunted.

Joseph: "What… what is this?" 😱

Megan: "Isn't this… William's house?" 😱

Amber sat silently, eyes fixed on the mansion, her calm exterior contrasting sharply with the fear radiating from her companions. 😐
