My hand gently pushes open the door… and… okay, I kinda closed my eyes, I don’t know what’s happening, but I reeeeally don’t want to deal with this right now… okay… open my eyes… in three… two… two… OKAY
Let me have a minute.
A pair of glowing white eyes float in the abyss of the room. I stumble backwards as they head slowly towards me. They let out a hiss before stepping out into the light.
Meow?…. Cats. Two cats. They stare at me with curiosity. I take a step back as they approach.
Cat 1: Give us fish.
"What?"
Cat 1: Fish. Give it to us. And maybe… we will let you leave
I guess… I guess I’ll go find that fish… This is so weird… And did those cats just… talk?! I guess I shouldn’t question it… I walk back to the main entrance area again. I’ll try the other direction this time. For some reason… the air doesn’t seem as gloomy. Or spooky. I thought I’d end up regretting not joining the track team…
The hallway is way shorter than the other side, and it ends with a kitchen. The lights are off but I can tell there’s some sort of general shape of a fridge? I think? Unless its a long brick, who knows in a place like this. As I step in, the lights flicker on. It is actually a fridge! I am sane… Maybe…
I take a deep breathe and pull open the door… and I’m greeted… by… fish? The entire fridge is filled entirely with fish… almost as if the mansion is run by a couple of cats… suspicious… I grab a couple pieces and head back to the cats. Though… it can’t hurt to check out a little bit more… right?
I look around the dark area, and I swear I saw something moving in the shadows for a second… Oh well… Once I get back hopefully I’ll be free from this place…
The walk back was generally… peaceful? Not a single creepy noise that I noticed… or anything wacky happening… maybe the cats were just really really hungry…
YEAH NO KIDDING IF THEY WENT THE EFFORT INTO TAKING SOME RANDOM PERSON TO A MANSION JUST TO MAKE THEM GET THEM FISH. THIS IS FISHY. VERY VERY FISHY, AND THESE THOUGHTS AREN’T COMING FROM THE FACT THAT I’M CARRYING FISH I SWEAR…
