The woman smiled and walked to the side, she brought out a board game. It was titled 'Swipe'.
She passed the board game to Lily. Lily held it and dropped it on the table, the lady smiled and moved in to get more outfits. Damon made eye contact with Terry and Alicia. Both of them followed her in and tried to describe more of what they needed.
Chris stood by the door and noticed someone standing there too, it was Amber. Maybe she knocked on the door earlier, she saw him and walked into the store. "Hey, what's up?"
"You, where have you been? You always come early. What happened?" He asked.
"I overslept, I don't know why. I stayed up late, I had to take my meds to escape the insomnia of the night." She looked around and said, "Why are you guys here? How did you even get in? The owner passed away a long time ago. I heard her spirit still moves around the place, didn't you notice it wasn't locked."
"How long?"
"It's been a whole decade since they buried her body but the spirit refused to rest. The agents couldn't rent this place out, it would torment anyone that walked in or even attack them. Who attended to you guys?"
He was speechless, he didn't understand how and why but it happened that way.
He exhaled and said, "A woman just met us here and she's already showing them what they need. She gave us that game on the table." He pointed to it, she took her eyes to it. She picked it up and scanned it properly. It was new, no dust, no tearing. She looked at the title.
She turned to him, "I've never seen this before. It's new, it doesn't look suspicious but I still feel like we need the others out of here now." Speaking of the others, they just walked out with the outfits they needed. When they reached the front and they yelled out, "Amber!"
Amber was the sweetheart of the crew, they hugged her closely and she lost track of the woman behind them, she only saw the dark eyes of the woman. The image escaped her head, she focused on the ones that showed her love.
She asked, "What are you guys getting?"
Alicia answered, "Just more horror stuff for the night. The lady gave it to us."
"Where is she?"
They all turned, she was right there. Suddenly the lights fluctuate. They all turned to the light bulb. They didn't understand why it happened, Chris already opened the door. "Let's go now."
Damon said, "We haven't paid for these."
Terry said, "Okay, I think we could just drop the dollar here and leave. We already summed everything up." He dropped the money and walked out. He already felt the tension.
Susan was the last to walk out, she turned back to look at the store. She felt the dark presence, she saw the chair rocking by itself. Suddenly the door inside closed hard. She closed the door in fear and ran towards the car. "We need to leave now!"
Of course they drove out of the place in fours, two males and two females. They reached the apartment. Amber liked the interior, it was simple.
They decided to redesign the apartment with all they got. They started their work and officially ended all designs and arrangements by 3:30pm. They deserved their lunch. They pulled out packs of food and ate properly.
They watched as time passed by, it's 7pm. They were all asleep, they needed more energy for their night party. The breeze from the window came in again. Susan's eyes opened as she laid on Stan's chest.
Her eyes moved to the window, she noticed they weren't alone in the room. Something just flew in but she can't see it, she took her eyes away to the table. She saw the lady from the store, she was sitting there smiling weirdly. It was so scary, Susan shut her eyes.
Amber saw her reaction and took her eyes to the back, she didn't see anyone. She turned to the front and stared at the door. She could see the lights from outside, she saw two shoes. Black shoes.
She turned to Susan, Susan already saw it too. They remained silent, they looked around. The bulb from the dining section came on by itself. Amber jumped up and crawled towards Susan. They realised it was only Damon. The door opened and Chris walked in too.
Their hearts were relieved but they didn't know they were in a haunted apartment. They didn't look properly, Alicia woke up and noticed the tension as they all stared at each other. Everyone felt like something was wrong, they knew it but couldn't see it.
Alicia asked, "Something's wrong right? I mean everyone can feel it right?"
"Yeah but what is it?" Chris asked.
"You guys? I think we should stop. I don't want any accidents." She said.
The wind blew into the room. A strange silence hit.
Chris locked the door, it was time to prep. They all rushed to their bathrooms to prepare for the event. Susan just finished taking her bath, the mirror moved. She turned to it, she moved closer to it. She knew she saw it move. She took her finger out and tried to poke it but the lights went off. She screamed.
It was only Stan trying to scare her, She hit him hard. "Why did you do that?! You made me lose my breath! Stop!" He rather laughed and hugged her tight. Still her eyes went to the mirror.
She stared at it for a while, she noticed a tall man standing right there and this time he wasn't still. He waved at her and that gave her the chills. He turned into a short flat surface showing something that looked like a portal.
He left her there to dress up, she did. She stepped out last. Damon decided to give his announcements.
