[IC] The Haunted house in the woods

[Jasper19]

Leo nodded and grabbed Elizabeth's arm and closed his eyes" I'm going to go in her mind to snap her out of it wish me luck. "He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again the mansion was in better shape and he was Elizabeth at the balcony and flickered then appeared next to Elizabeth. " Elizabeth you have to snap out of it he isn't your father anymore he is trying to kill you! "

[EvellynGrace93]

Elizabeth looked next to her at Leo. "Leo?" She said tears streaming down her face. "My family, they, they said I can come home." She said as she felt the stone underneath her hands. Next thing she knew she was on the other side of the balcony, holding onto the stone behind her. She looked down at the ground below her. Her father grabbed Leo's arm his arm turning grey under his grasp and his wrist opening up. "She belongs at home." He said menacingly.

Ashlyn stood there watching, wanting to do something so she started to move for her, to help leo. She got grabbed by her aunt and uncle and her cousins. They were holding her back, and them being older than her, she wasn't able to escape. Everywhere they help, turning grey under their hands. It took everything in her to make sure that she stayed pure.

[Jasper19]

Leo ripped his hand out of the fathers grip and looked at Elizabeth" Elizabeth this isn't your father anymore he is a malicious vengeful spirit that wants to kill you. "He turns around to face Elizabeth's father " this is yours fault"

[EvellynGrace93]

"Quite the contrary little man, you want someone to blame, blame them." He said pointing down to where Ashlyn was being held by her family. "Well looks like you have to choose little man. Elizabeth, or her." Elizabeth was still hanging onto the edge of the balcony, her mother standing behind her. While her father was talking to Leo her mother was talking to her. She turned around and looked at her. "Mommy, is that true?" She asked "It's time to come home sweetie." her mother said as she kicked one of her daughters feet from the balcony. "Ahh!" Elizabeth screamed holding onto the balcony with all of her might. She had snapped out of her trance and looked over at her father and at Leo.

Ashlyn Being held by her family looked and saw what was unfolding before her eyes. She knew that Leo would have to choose. "Save Elizabeth!" She called to him. She could feel herself being swallowed by the darkness that was her family. They wanted her to suffer the same fate as they did. Still she tried to escape them, but the more energy she exerted the more her being was succombing to the darkness.

[Jasper19]

Leo grabbed Elizabeth and hauled her up then disappeared and appeared in front of Ashyln pulling her away from her family as the sun started to shine. " I won't choose if I can save them both" he pants having exerted a lot of energy to that quickly.

[EvellynGrace93]

Elizabeth landed on the balcony with a thud. She rolled over and laid flat on her back, looking up at the sky, almost completely sunfilled. She was safe, for now. She could now feel the gash on her leg and the gash on her forehead. This was a very traumatizing day for her. She knew she only had so much longer to get herself back to safety, but for now she couldn't walk and her car was completely totaled. She wouldn't be able to get a tow up that hill, because technically she was trespassing. Fear started to set in again as she realized she was inevitably going to be stuck here for the night.

Ashlyn came free from her familys grasp. She hugged Leo tightly. Her family disappeared as the sun came out almost completely. "Thank you leo. Where is Elizabeth?" She asked looking over at the balcony. All of them have exerted a ton of energy.

[Jasper19]

Leo hugged back " she is on the balcony besides the cut from the car crash she is ok but Ashyln she doesn't have anyway to leave the house anymore. "He floats with ashlyn to the balcony." Maybe you can stay in Ashlyns room it seems one of the safest in the house. " He says to Elizabeth and motions to pick her up forgetting he wasn't in her mind anymore and his hand passes through her.

[EvellynGrace93]

Elizabeth looked up at Leo and again at Ashlyn. Slowly, her lips were white from the amount of blood she had lost today. "If i don't die here on this balcony." She said half joking, but in all fear very serious. Her vision kept fading in and out from clear to blurry. She really wasn't sure if she was going to make it through the night. Her body was so cold that she didn't even feel Leos hand go through her. In all seriousness, she needed a hospital. She wasn't sure if she had internal bleeding from the accident. Knowing damn well that if she stayed on this balcony she really would die in this house, she found the strength to roll over onto her hands and knees and get to her feet. She started limping into the house. "Are you guys coming?" She called weakishly ash she held onto the wall for support.

Ashlyn nodded and looked at Elizabeth, "You will stay in my room. Leo my friend." Putting a hand on his shoulder, "Please when I bring her to my room, go to yours and do not follow us." She said as she knew now that the darkness brought out the deadliness. She watched Elizabeth get up and walk her way over to the door. She knew what Elizabeth was thinking. She knew that Ashlyn nor Leo would be able to tend to her wounds, so the only way she had a chance at survival she had to do it herself.

[Jasper19]

Leo wanted to say that going to his room wouldn't make a difference if he wandered the house at night but just nodded. "Don't sorry I will Ashlyn"he said to comfort her and floated inside the house and went to his room. Once he was in his room he sighed and sat down on his bed." How long can I keep going like this. " he said to himself and looked at a picture of his family that has been kept in his desk since the day he died.

[EvellynGrace93]

Elizabeth hobbled her way down the hallway followed by ashlyn. She noticed the one room in the hall that the door was closed and she stopped right before it. "Leo" She called lightly. "Thank you dear" She continued to walk down the hallway and make it somehow down the stairs. Walking to the kitchen, she grabbed a bowl of water, an old bottle of rubbing alcohol and some gauze and bandages. Juggling all of these supplies in her hand, being careful not to spill, she followed Ashlyn back to her room.

Ashlyn walked back up the grand staircase, down the main hallway, past Leos room and through a little door that looked like a servants door. To a closet. She walked in and closed the door, walking through the wall elizabeth noticed that it was actually a false wall, she moved the wall and walked inside, closing it completely before making it up the stairs to Ashlyns room. ashlyn pointed to an old extravagant bed against the back wall. It was dusty but would do for her tonight, or even the next couple of days.

[Jasper19]

Leo had heard Elizabeth say thank you but was to ashamed to reply.He waited till night fell and the transformation took place being angry that he couldn't corrupt Ashlyn and kill Elizabeth he terrorized the other ghosts.After getting bored of terrorizing the other ghosts he caused mayhem throughout the house. Making windows rattle and paintings shake.

[EvellynGrace93]

Elizabeth looked over her wounds and started cleaning them out. She asked ashlyn if there were any clothes in the wardrobe and if she would be able to borrow any of them. She made her way over there and found a gorgeous white dress. It was floor length and lace. It had long lace sleeves and the chest and arms were see through till the bust, after that there was a solid white satin underlay behind the lace. The waist had a satin ribbon that tied in the back in a bow. It was either a nice fall dress, or a wedding dress. She got undressed and wrapped up the gash in her leg and on her forehead. Her forhead gash she just put sticky stitches on it to keep it closed. Getting dressed in the dress she took her long white blonde hair down and it fell into ringlets. She looked like she was from another time entirely.

Ashlyn smiled when Elizabeth found her dress. "That was to be my wedding dress." She said lightly. She adored that dress. Elizabeth was a vision in it, fitting her like a glove. Aside from her boots underneath. She watched as Elizabeth made her way to lay down in the bed and watched her fall asleep. Ashlyn was contemplating going and keeping an eye on leo. She knew all the ghosts in the house knew that there was a human here, it could be sensed. She wanted to make sure that he didn't find out where she was.

[Jasper19]

Leo continued to torment he ghosts and make a racket throughout the night. Sometimes even releasing a hair raising wail filled with a mixture of hate and sadness.Continuing to float around us contemplated in how the other side the...good side was weak and couldn't be trusted no matter what it did.

[EvellynGrace93]

Ashlyn Looked over at Elizabeth while she slept and made the decision. She walked through one of the walls to make sure that if she was spotted she couldn't be traced back to her room. She floated down to where the statues were and hid behind one of them. She made sure that she was out of sight but she was really looking for leo and Elizabeths father. Those two would be the ones that would be able to find her. That and her Family. Her family knew everything about the house since they built it, but they mostly stayed out by where they died.

[Jasper19]

Leo floated around and came across Elizabeth and smiled. " Hello Elizabeth are you here to join us corrupted ones? "Its wonderful you don't have to worry about hurting anyone's pesky feelings and you can make anyone who bothers you dissapear.

[EvellynGrace93]

Ashlyn looked at Leo wondering how he found her. also wondering why he called her elizabeth. "Did the sun damage your brain?" She said snidely. "My name is not Elizabeth." She said crossing her arms. "And I thought we were better friends than that." Looking fake sad and getting cocky. Since her last encounter with everyone she decided that she needed to toughen up against them. Really the only ones that were able to really harm her and change her were her aunt and uncle. And her two cousins who were rarely seen, since their deaths were a mystery. "Are you just roaming around frightening your friendly neighborhood ghosts again?" She said. She had a demeanor about her that was undeniable.

[Jasper19]

Leo's face showed some confusion then smoothed out " he's it just have my bad Ashlyn and where has this new attitude come from its refreshing. "He laughed at the better friends line" maybe with the good side but we we are enemies and yes I'm terrorizing the ghosts it's the only fun I get to have since you won't let me kill the human. "

[EvellynGrace93]

"I'm older than you remember? If anyone has the power to do anything to whom in this situation, it would be me. So frankly i'm not afraid of you." She said being sassy. "Why do you WANT to kill her anyways? Then youre just stuck with her like you are me. Besides, don't think her father won't come for you if you get to her first before him." She said walking a circle around Leo like a predator with its prey. Truth be told, she really wasn't sure why she didn't have a more evil side, considering she was killed in a pretty brutal manor.

[Jasper19]

Leo smiled " that's exactly why then she won't ever be able to leave and let the father I have been itching to get him ever since he brought me to my suicide. "He looks at her circling him" and you may be older but remember what happened when I touched your wrist you were being corrupted and couldn't stop it. "

[EvellynGrace93]

Ashlyn looked at him and smiled, but she did have sadness in her eyes. She did feel bad for him, the way he was brought to his demise. "my dear, I wouldn't put all your blame on him. Yeah hes a ruthless son of a bitch, but he too died from this house. IF you need to blame someone blame the people who originally cursed this house and its land." She wasn't wrong. He was directing his anger in the wrong direction. "Trust me I would love nothing more than to help you get your revenge on my family, but not even I can bring them down, and dont blame the mortal for the wrong doings of her father." She said with a whole lot of wisdom. "You may be able to injure me love," She paused in front of him and got closer to him almost up to his face. She also knew the risk in doing this but she was having fun with the game she just made. "But in order for me to become like you, it would take all of your energy. There would be nothing left of you, and even then it wouldn't last forever." she was matter of fact about that. "Again, you kill the human, shes going to come after you and your own, would you like it if your sister came and she was the one who was the cause of her death?" Ashlyns eyes started to glow a brilliant blue. Truthfully this has never happened to her before, it was a symbol of how pure and attatched to the light she really was.
