THE LETTER
《MYSTERIOUS MANSION》
It is pitch dark surrounding a mansion
where there is not even single human several meters away from it
wind is blowing widely making the only trees present there flutter and rustle violently
giving the mansion a chilly look
It is the same mansion which once stood as the witness of a very long journey of love, joy and pain
It is present since 1620's and ...............has been passed onto generations????
It is built by the Lord William and Lady Elizabeth Ermengarde of Luxborne
who are once the humble ambassadors of peace and beloved by their people.
Both were well known for their compassion and generosity
never failing to extend a helping hand to those who r in need
under their influence , the once village which is small and sleepy has been ..........grew into a prosperous and bustling town
However , seasons of joy eventually ended when the good nobles perished at the hands of great plague
Their riches and legacy are henceforth passed down to their only son Lord Charlie Ermengarde.
well , however............
The great mansion is left uninhabited after.............
after Lord Charlie committed suicide in that mansion
It is the the start of Everything?????
There are voices of cry and loud howls in the quiet nights of the mansion
and a dark figure roaming through the hollowed halls of the mansion aimlessly
The rumors of seeing and hearing these unearthly things has been spread allover.
we will neither listen nor believe those rumors until..............
we.experience.it.on.our.own
don't we?????..........we are humans afterall
same here also ....about the mansion rumors
people who dared to cross the walls of that mansion have never been heard AGAIN
Even after 400 years .........
these stories remain, much more like the mansion itself
The whispers of about once THE GREAT MANSION ...........its LEGEND and its CURSE ....still falls in the ears of the villagers
Inspite of all these.....
The current owners of THE GREAT MANSION are convinced that these stories are nothing more than a HOAX
A little regard to the truths (underlying fears)
The mansion was put on sale by the current owners through Briar Realty Corporation(BRC)
like pandora's box, the secrets that lie inside are being awaited to be opened by the brave souls
hope the souls maynot be consumed by the curse
for entering and crossing the walls of ...........

Issac
"buzzz"(phone rings)
unknown
<hello?Issac?Are u there?>
Issac
<I'm at St. Goretti high. What's the matter?>
Ronald
<What do u mean, 'what's the matter'?>
Ronald
<It's the mansion, idiot! I'm here and you're late.>
Ronald
<Mannn! we are on shift together. u promised!>
Ronald
<Oh my God! please don't tell me you forgot! you were planning on leaving me to check this place out on my own , weren't you?!>
Ronald
<YOU CHICKENED OUT!>
Issac
<calm down! you know I take my promises seriously.>
Ronald
<I'd like to believe that, so HURRY UP AND GET HERE!>
Ronald
<This place is HUGE!>
Ronald
< A bit too quiet since no one's lived here since ,.....like ,forever!.........but it's beautiful , nonetheless!>
Issac
<Why are you so surprised? This isn't the first time you've been there.>
Ronald
<I know, I just wish I could live in a place like this>
Ronald
<It really takes my breath away..>
Issac
<yeah......well , I wouldn't be so sure about that . Not after the rumors that says it's haunted.>
Ronald
<Geezz, nevermind those rumors. Ghosts aren't real, after all.>
Ronald
<and even if they are , which they are not, they can't do anything .>
Ronald
<They're nothing but spirits!>
Issac
<You don't know that!>
Issac
<They might be listening or watching you right now!>
Issac
<And they might not be happy with you ! enough to Curse you!>
Ronald
<no offense , dude .but... that's a bit of stretch.😶>
Issac
<EHH! Believe it or not. It's better to be careful.>
Ronald
<Right. You know, not every property that we sell will end up with a dead body stuffed in a sofa.>
Issac
< and I think that mansion is where we'll likely find another one. I can feel it!>
Ronald
< That was one time , Issac . Lossen up!>
Ronald
<Anyway, just get here ASAP!please, I'm getting bored being here on my own.>
Issac
<FINE!Fine! let me just finish up here . I'll be right there soon.>
Ronald
<ok! see you . Bye!>
Issac
<b.....>{he hung up before I could respond!😤😤}
he looks up from his phone , seeing a person giving him a questioning look on his face.
Issac
Russ!...Oh! that? It's just Ronald.
Russell
Ronald? The one you said who trained you for your job back when you started?
Russell
You're working together again?
Issac
Just for this property.
Issac
we've been scoping out that big mansion down at Anslem village after the renovations .
Issac
Today's sort of its grand opening to the public.
Issac
BRC wants to give it one last check before we let potential buyers to tour it this afternoon.
Russell
Wait, mansion? That big, spooky one .....you've been telling everyone about?
Russell
Didn't you keep on saying, how it just 'gave you the creeps'?🤨
Russell
You actually went there?...and you're going back?!
Issac
Well, I did promise Ronald I wouldn't ditch him.😓
Issac
And besides ,a job is a job!
Issac
Gotta' do what ya' gotta' do to make a livin'!😤
Russell
Nothing! It's just that I didn't expect you to that!(chuckles)
Russell
Coming from you , it sounds soo....... out of character.
Russell
I mean, no offense. But ....you've been freaking out about the place being creepy ,ever since you got assigned to it! Cursed rumors and all.
Russell
I honestly thought you'd back out.
Issac
I could really use a huge amount of cash right now, and this is just the fastest way to get it.
Issac
Plus, listen to this
Issac
Briar Reality wants it sold as soon as possible! And the agent who lands the deal is going to get a huge bonus!
Issac
They never give bonuses like that!Getting that would make life so much easier!
Issac
They're Desperate, I'm Desperate! It's PERFECT!
Russell
(looks at Issac sympathetically)
Russell
If you are need of money you can ask me .....or Ashton
Russell
we can always let you borrow and you can pay us back whenever.
Issac
(keeps himself composed from groaning out loud)
Issac
{I can already guess from that expression}
Russell
I've noticed that you've been living off instant noodles these past few weeks.
Russell
(crosses his arms and grimaces at the thought)
Russell
(voice slightly raises and scolds Issac)
Russell
Stop eating Junk! They are cheap but they are not good for you!
Issac
{I guess this is why Russ excels at teaching boisterous teenagers. }
Russell
You'll definitely end up in the hospital if you keep at it.
Issac
HEY!I Eat other things TOO!😤
Issac
(folds his arms infront of his chest ,mimicking his posture and giving his best frown he can muster)🙍🏻♂️
Issac
{Hope this works 😓I do the same with my younger siblings when they r being difficult}
Russell
(raises one of his eyebrows)🤨
Russell
That's not going to work on me . And I saw it when you were cleaning your flat last week.
Russell
The instant noodle cups outnumbered everything else!
Issac
You're just exaggerating!
Issac
Did you even see what's in my cupboard , yet?
Issac
I'm not just living on instant noodles alone .I've got canned beans,peas,tuna,ham,and even hamburgers in there!
Russell
(wrinkling his nose by the time when he gets end of the small list and even got little green on hearing the last one)
Issac
{pfffh....no ! don't laugh or else it will only lead to more reprimands from him🤧}
Russell
Aren't those the same ones that you have won from the grocer's raffle more than a year ago?
Russell
I sincerely hope that you are checking the date stamps on those things before eating them. I don't want a repeat of last year.
Russell
In any case, those are still not exactly healthier choices, Issac.
Issac
{hah! Is he laughing at some distant funny memory🧐🧐}
when Russell looks up , Issac immediately brace's himself , waiting to hear more words from him.
Issac
{I think it's better to let him talk until he's out of things to say.}
Russell turns his attention to Issac
Russell
What am I going to do with you?
Issac
{Ha! he's voice is shifting to something kinder😲......did he switch to motherly mode😓🤧}
Russell
I hope you know that it's impossible not to worry about you when you are like this.
Russell
You don't have to keep eating the same thing.
Russell
I already told you before; you're always free to reheat the food in my fridge.
Issac
You!I really appreciate it , but you don't need to keep babying me.
Issac
you've been taking care of me since after I moved here! You have to take a break some time.
Issac
And before you ask me again; NO. You know I am not a fan of borrowing money.
Issac
And I'm not going to ask you to give me what you earned hard for yourself.
Russell
Ehh! You and your pride. But suit yourself.
Russell
The offer stays on the table, though
Issac
{Better nod , to drop the topic. But I'm pretty certain that I'm not going to take that offer.EVER!😤}
Issac
{And it has nothing to do with pride.I have seen lots of friendships which turn worse for few unpaid debts.And I don't want something like that to happen between me and Russ.}
Issac
{we may argue alot for small and petty things , but he already feels like real brother to me . I don't want to lose friendship for something so trivial! }
Russell
(takes a quick glance at something behind Issac)
Issac
(snaps out of his thoughts)
Russell
Well! enough chitchat! Lunch is ending and my students will be back any minute.
Russell
We can catch up later.
Russell
Good luck with your clients!
Russell
You better treat us to lunch or something if you get that sale!
With a small smile , Russell returns to his desk and beings shifting through the pages of thick history book.
Issac
{he's probably working on next weeks lesson plan.Or trying , atleast? 🧐he eyes are distant and he is distracted from reading?}
Issac
{did he hear my thoughts😮}
Russell
(coughs heavily)(puts his hand hastily to his mouth to stifle the sounds.)
Issac
{Ah!this is precisely why I followed him here}
Issac
{for someone who makes a habit of worrying for others, Russ sure forgets to take care of himself. }
Issac
Hey...... you sure you can manage on your own?
Issac
I mean ........you are still a bit ...feverish....
Russell
Oh, hush ,Issac. Don't worry about me.
Russell
I'll just drink some medicine and I'll be right as rain!
Issac
{he had cold for couple of days now.And this strange weather not supporting him.I told him to take a week off and rest ,to find his apartment empty this morning😕...that to Leaving the medicine doctor prescribed!}
Issac
{and look who is being stubborn now!idiot!}
Issac
You shouldn't even be working right now.
Russell
Seriously, you big baby, I will be fine!
Russell
for now , just go to work and stop making that Ronald guy wait for you.
Russell
I'll call you if I still feel bad, and you can come pick me up if it makes you feel any better.
Russell
(smiles reassuring)
Issac
{why do I even bother? there is no stopping him once he decided something.}
Issac
*defeated*(pulls out the morning left medicine bottle from his bag)
Issac
(puts the bottle infront of him)
Issac
{unfortunately, I will not let you have your way in this😤}
Issac
Alright! but don't forget what the doctor said:'drink this on time'.
Issac
I will see later ,okay?
Russell
(looks at him with amused gleam in his eyes)😶
Russell
Look who is playing mother -hen now?
Russell

Russell

Russell
