Escape the Midnight Mansion- Story /rpg

[Samuel]

(Does the room Sam is in have a window?)

[Schizo]

(Entirely upto you mate, you write the story )

[Samuel]

Sam walked over to the window-and found to his dismay the room was on the third floor!
". . ." He began to tremble. He noted the eyes on him. "D-don't give me that look! I'm just afraid of heights..'

[LavenderFairy]

Vladimir guided the girl up the stairs towards one of the study rooms, she was having a hard time keeping up with his pace since he floated, more than walking. "My dear... you won´t be able to make it like this". Lavey bowed, "Im really sorry...". He smirked, "Such naiveness".

They were standing before a giant oak door, there were angels carved on each side, holding what it seemed to be a small harp. In the center of the door there was a rose with one of its petals on the floor as if it had recently fallen.

"How beautiful", Lavey gently traced her fingers over the door, amazed at the complexity and beauty of it. "Certainly my dear. This room is the mansion´s library, I trust you will find it rather comfortable. But I must warn you, nothing here is as it seems".

She turned to look at him, a small smirk had crept on his handsome face. "Im aware of that...", she murmured. He nodded, "Good, now please step aside, as you can see this door has no handle, it has a special way of opening that you will find interesting". He then directed his hand towards the right harp, pressed a side of the wood and slid the part of the harp down, revealing real harp cords beneath it.

"Huh?", the girl moved closer. Vladimir then played a serene tune, his long fingers caressing the cords as if they were the most precious thing he had ever touched. The tune filled the place, making Lavey a bit drowsy and comfortable. After a minute he stopped, the cozy aura that had started to surround them vanished in a flash. A loud click was heard and the door opened, revealing a very old fashioned room beneath it.

It had a big table in the middle and rows and rows of shelves and books, at the end of the room there was a staricase, that led to the second floor where more shelves awaited. On the ceiling, a giant glass chandelier hung over them. The windows were covered with red satin drapes, and the floor was made of marbel. Even if the mansion was old, the room looked as if it hadnt been touched by time.

"Wow...", the girl walked slowly inside the place, admiring it. Vladimir followed closely behind, his eyes never leaving her. "This was the mistress favorite room, now your first test starts". Lavey raised an eyebrow, "Test?". The vampire smirked, "Yes my dear, and I wish you a very good luck on this one". She shook her head, "I dont get it".

He cleared his throat, "Look angel, we creatures of the night never offer anything for free, not even our aid. If you pass my test then I will continue aiding you, and of course you will have to pass more tests. This one is easy though."

In a flash he was by her side, she barely had any time to gasp. He held her arm and raised it to his mouth, puncturing  her wrist with his fangs. Blood began seeping from the wound, Lavey tried to move her hand back but he had a strong grip. "Now... come". He jumped upwards pulling her by the throbbing wrist. The girl winced in pain.

They landed on the second floor where the rest of the books were, in front of an angel statue with her hands extended towards them. "Give her your blood", he ordered harshly. Lavey obeyed and let some of the warm liquid drip onto the open hands. The angel then began crumbling apart. Lavey gasped and moved backwards, Vladmir caught her by the shoulders and steadied her. "The answers you seek are here".

The parts of the statue lay now scattered on the floor, in the middle of them lay a small red notebook. The scared girl kneeled and gently picked it up. It read "Diary" in bright gold letters on the bottom right side...   

[WeirdlyHero]

''Sylvia...''
Raphael said softly, with a slight hint of sarcasm in his voice, '...are you done with this yet? And tell me what i need to do.'

[Woo]

She turned from her work and pouted slightly. She had been tinkering with burners and mixing chemicals for a little while now, and before her she finaly had two bottles of liquid to her specifications. one was a deep purple, swirling and shifting and never settling. The other was a chaos of shades of black, filled with bubbles that looked like sparks of light.
 "One will improve your power of mind above all, increasing psychic ability with some health and streanght benefits." Sylvia said, holding up the purple one and swilling it a little. "This one, however, will streanghten your body, in power and health. There are some boosts to powers of the mind too, but not nearly as much as the other." she indicated the blackish fluid. "Who will do best with which though?"
 Glancing at the two, a small smile tugged the edge of her lips. "You two should decide between you, but ask yourselves, who will be better suited?"

[WeirdlyHero]

'...Well, I'll think I shall better suit the Phycic boost.  Any objections?'

[LavenderFairy]

The pages of the diary were blank, not even a mark or a drawing was in it. Vladimir smirked, "You pass the test my dear... now to read the signs you first need to become of my type...". She raised an eyebrow, "No... I wont become what you are". He walked towards her, "Oh come on... its just a bite away".

He held her with one arm and gently lifted her upwards. She watched in horror as he sank his teeth on her. "Nooo!". The diary on her hands started glowing, the light hurt Vladimir´s eyes. "Agh!!", he lost focus momentarily and released the girl. She used that time to run down the stairs and reach the exit.

"You can´t deny your past girl! You are a half breed! Accept your fate once and for all!"

She ran all the way down and crashed into Xelzias. They both fell hard on the ground. "Oww... im sorry are you ok?". Xelzias regained his composture and smiled at her , "Oooh... you seem a bit sick..". He drew his face close to hers inspecting it, she blushed and moved backwards. "H-Hey what are you doing?".

"You look oh so very sick... I smell two bloods within you... hahahaha".

She gulped, "Who are you?". He vowed, "Xelzias the one and only... ". She smiled, "Nice to meet you. Now what could you be doing here?". He began playing with the needles inside his pocket distractedly. "Oh? What did you say again?".

"I´ll get you half breed!!". Vladimir´s voice loomed from the floor above them.

"Not good..." whispered Lavey. "Here come with me, we better find a way out. Now that I have the key to this mistery I might as well get Raphael back".

She took Xelzias by the arm and pulled him towards a dark hall in the corner. Somehow she knew she had to go there...

[WeirdlyHero]

((Woo may not be on here for a while, her comp's broken.))

[LavenderFairy]

"It seems you are also human. Look I dont know how you ended here but we must get out, its really dangerous...". Lavender guided the newfound man through the hall, not even turning back once to see if Vladimir was still after them.

She found a black door at the end, it also didnt have a doorknob. Xelzias stopped and began laughing maniacally, "Ahahahaha! I just love this place!". The girl gulped, "What are you talking about?". He approached the door and smelled it, "Mmm... smells alive!". She backed away, "You.. you dont seem very normal". He turned to her.
"Oh? But people say Im charming"
"I see...umm well lets continue"

Xelzias smirked, "We can´t, not until I have a little something from you". She moved backwards but he quickly grabbed her wrist, the holes that Vladimir had made were yet fresh. "Mmm blood...". He began squeezing her wrist, drawing blood from it again. "Ouch, don´t do that!", she cried, shivering a little.

The man directed her wrist to the door until the blood made contact, it made a weird noise and slowly opened itself. "Hahaha! I knew blood is the key!". Lavey bit her lower lip, "Why mine?". He ignored her and continued, the darkness of the room inviting. "The diary can also be read with blood", he announced before dissapearing. She stood there for some time, looking at her wound. "Halfbreed he called me?... And why is my blood so important?". Goosebumps crawled in the back of her neck, she felt like something was about to happen and it wasnt a good thing.

"So you are the halfbreed", Cypher asked, startling the girl and making her jump in surprise. "Who are you ?", she muttered, still a bit afraid. He smirked, "Call me Cypher, Im a wanderer, seeking only my final repraisal". She crossed her arms over her chest, "And how do you know so much about me?". His smile widened "Of course I would know someone as myself".
"Yourself?".
"Yes, somehow your aura seems the same as mine".
She lowered her gaze, "I don´t feel very good right now.. I miss Rap... no nvm, i guess i must go on".
"Yes. The key is close, if we find her soon that is", he said, gently pushing her inside the room. "I´ll accompany you. I too want to see the mysteries of this place uncovered". 
~~~~~~

"Sylvia!", Vladimir stormed back into the room. Sam and Raphael stared at him, his sudden appeareance had startled them. Unlike them, Sylvia seemed undisturbed, she continued with her experiments, paying no heed to the visitor. "You better answer me woman. Has the girl come back for your aid?". She began laughing in a low voice and then raised it a bit. The vampire was now furious, "What may you find so funny!?".

"Your inability, my dear Vladimir, to take care of a simple halfbreed".
"So you knew..."
"Of course, Thanatos possessed her and he told me great details about her blood".
"Then you know what damage she can make being here right?", he asked, looking worried for the first time.

"What are you talking about?", asked Raphael. "Did something happen?". Vladimir looked at him, a small smirk on his face. "Oh I see now... you care about that friend?". The boy lowered his gaze, "It seems we arent friends anymore, she didnt seem to care about me when she came back". The vampire chuckled, "I see...". Sylvia glared at Vladimir, "Your intentions are bothering me...".

"Hey someone explain, what the hell is happening here!", Sam interrupted them, he looked a little bothered by the whole situation. "I just arrived and you brought me to her and I dont know what to do!". Sylvia sighed, "Patience my boy, what are you so excited about?". Vladimir edged closer to Raphael, but turned to Sylvia instead. "Let them fly my dear, they seem to be tired of staying here...". 

With a quick movement, he seized Raphael and jumped out the window . "What? Nooo!", the boy closed his eyes waiting for the impact but there was none. When he finally opened his eyes, he could see the mansion under him, it was huge and they were several feet high. "So you can travel in and out?", he asked his captor. The vampire laughed, "No my boy, we are all trapped. Once you cross the border, theres no going back. And you need to know that not a normal human cant come here, you must have a purpose".

He pointed towards the end of the woods , were only darkness remained. No cities, no roads, no blue sky. They gently landed on a beautiful garden in the 5th floor of the mansion. Its exotic flowers shone under the moonlight. "Now my boy... its time to prove your worth".

~~~
"Sam...", Sylvia walked towards the confused human, she placed a hand on his shoulder, she was cold. He blushed and raised his gaze towards her eyes, "Y-yes?".
"You must do something for me. Go out of this room, and follow the group. They are in the third floor wandering the dark halls where she sleeps"
"But wh..."
"Shh..", she placed a finger on his lips. "Do not worry for your safety for thanatos will protect you."
"Why?", he asked still amazed at her beauty.
"If you want to survive that is... Im starting to beleive the evil in this place is wakening. I must remain here but you human, can pass unnoticed among the beasts that linger here, they seek for unnatural power that you dont possess"

She motioned for Thanatos to follow him. "Now be gone and be safe" 

[Schizo]

Lavey was scared but she felt safer than she had done throughout her experiences in the mansion, maybe it was something about this tall mysterious man, she almost felt that they were connected in someway, but how and why? For the moment she would go with this man as he seemed to know what was happening, and if someone knew that, they would also know what the end result would be. Although she felt safe, she still missed Raphael, she nearly blurted this out but didn't want to show any weakness, or try not to at least!

"Do not worry, i will take care of you" said Cypher in his slow calm voice, he could feel her nerves and fear, but there was nothing for her to be afraid of for he would never kill one of his own kind. "I assume that you are wondering what is meant by halfbreed?" He asked.
"Well yeah kinda....i think i know but not for sure" hoping for Cypher to give her the answer.
"Soon will all become clear, and your path will be laid before you." He raised his hand offering for her to hold it. She releuctantly placed her delecate hand in his and automatically felt a surge of safeness, this made her smile as Cypher led her down a dark spiral staircase.

"What am i supposed to do with a bunch of flowers?" Questioned Raphael "Want an arrangement made?" he giggled inside but that was soon shot down with an evil glare from Vladmir.
"Do not question our ways boy!" Vladimir spat at him, "For if you want to survive in this place you will have to make sacrifices, and prove your worth."
Raphael was unsure what he had to do, but followed the vampire to a small clearing of grass in the garden that was surrounded by trees and plants, it almost looked like a jungle.
"Now we shall see what you are capable of" Vladimir smirked and waited patiently.

****
Sam took one last look at Sylvia (A nice image to keep me going) he thought to himself. He continued out of the room and the door slowly creaked behind him. Thanatos was beside him, and was forming a kind of human shape but he had no legs and was hovering above the floor, almost like a ghost. (It might not be the best company, but at least i've got someone to talk to!)

[Samuel]

Sentient undead... this is gonna be a tough one to get out of. Luckily, fortune -ALWAYS- favors me.
Light tremors shook Sam on the third floor every time they passed a window.
"...stop looking at me like that. I'm not afraid of the Undead, i'm afraid of heights."

[WeirdlyHero]

'I still don't get what you want from me...I mean, we're here,  in the middle of some garden type thing, and all you've given me is a bunch of-...'
Raphael was interupted by loud rumblings coming from the ground, they were becoming more frequent and more louder, something was coming towards the two of them. Raphael thought to himself that whatever the thing is, it's big.
Raphael turned to look at Vladimir, only to notice that he had burst into laughter.
