You had finally unpacked your things and put it all away neatly now you're just bored, you've been sat in this bedroom considering whether or not to explore the mansion by yourself for 10 minutes now.

I don't necessarily want Thatch showing me around again, he's a little creepy...

 Hell, if anyone catches you snooping around, you could argue that you're going to need be familiar with the grounds when you start cleaning tomorrow. Besides, it's far too early to sleep but you're also rather terrified of the place, even more so now that there's moonlight glow in the room. You'd wager it's like that in all the rooms since the moon is full tonight and the mansion is located in a rather open area.

"Look, if they question you, just say you're exploring the grounds..." You murmur to yourself quietly as you make your way to your bedroom door, a wave of anxiety running through you as you step out into the long and empty hallway. 

Right...no turning back now...

You can hear the faint sound of music playing in one of the rooms, it sounds like a piano but it's oddly cheerful for such a dark household. You consider the possibility that maybe one of the brothers know how to play piano or that it's simply a CD or something.

Thatch kind of looks like the sort to play piano...

Without wishing to intrude, you continue past the musical room, hoping to God that the door doesn't magically open and expose you or something. Continuing on down the large staircase you can go one of two ways. One way looks like a living room and the other looks like a dining room. 

You're slightly torn for a moment until your curiosity gets the best of you and has to padding over to the living room, you can faintly see that there's dimmed lights in there which gives the room a comforting kind of look. 

However just before you get to the living room's doorway, you hear something that stops you in your tracks, it sounds like a distance chuckle. 

"You know yoi, when you get all babysitter mode, you're no fun~!" 

A voice.

Your head turns towards the mystery voice to find that it's coming from the dining room. Slowly stepping away from the living area, you make your way toward the other room of interest, sort of hoping to meet the other person you're sharing this house with. 

"I mean it, Marco. The new maid has already started asking questions about the previous one, you remember the story to tell her?"

That's Thatch's voice...

You freeze in your steps at the realization he's speaking about you, your body tensing slightly. You're aware that this could lead to you eavesdropping on their conversation but you're far too shaken up to even move, a cold sweat starting to run down your face.

What story? What happened to the last maid?!

"Yeah, yeah, she got spooked when cleaning the outside windows and fell to her death, right? Oh, so tragic yoi~!" 

The last maid died here?!!

"Try to sound a little sympathetic, that woman was somebody's daughter, ya know..." 

"Speaking of parenting, when's pops gonna be back?"

This Marco guy sounds ruthless...no, they both sound psychotic!

"Whenever the new blood stops trying to eat people."

The new what? EAT PEOPLE?!

You almost whimper to yourself but thankfully your voice has become absent so you have yet to give away your position, out of instinct you back up only to find yourself backing into something solid yet soft at the same time. A wave of dread washing over you as you hesitantly turn your head to face your soft wall.

Oh my God...

Stood there behind you is a blonde guy, he looks close to you in age but also haunted. He has pale skin, blonde hair and a large burn over his left eye. Your instincts want you to scream but you can't, your legs feeling weak all of a sudden as you stagger a little.

This is it! He's going to kill me!

"You're new..." The blonde calmly whispers, your body locking up as he steps closer, his arm wrapping around your waist and holding you in place as his eyes begin to glow red. "It's okay, just sleep..."

The excuse! Tell him your excuse!

However you cannot even muster a word, there's something about his presence that's silencing you, his eyes hypnotizing you into a calmer state of mind as your eyes slowly fall closed and your thoughts seemingly slip away. 

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone...new girl."
