The Disturbing Clint Manor

Alaric looked at the silver-haired girl before him, and asked, "You're awake? Why should I leave? I haven't been paid."

If he could leave, he would have by now! Money was important, regardless of how rich Alaric became after raiding the Ryders.

Adeline only responded, "I tried..."

As soon as Alaric was going to ask "tried what?" the girl before him simply... faded. As if he had only seen a mirage.

'But, I'm not schizophrenic! Wait... aren't I at the age where symptoms start showing? Are there psychiatrists here? Did mom and dad have it?' Alaric pondered. Quickly, he gave himself a mental slap.

"Of course I'm not! This world has magical abilities of all shapes and sizes! This is a bad omen! I'm leaving!"

Alaric turned to exit the hallway and was preparing to leave the Clint family manor. The girl in a coma suddenly spoke to him through an illusion? That very same girl told him to leave? Wasn't that a typical horror-type situation?
