Basement?

"...Keep yourself together, Erin! For Lily!"

The trap door looks really rusty, and seems like the door hasn't been touched in years.

"...Huff...Okay.. Is Lily inside...? LILY! ARE YOU INSIDE?!"

The echoes of Erin's scream fills the whole Mansion. And-

*BANG* *BANG*

"?! ... O-okay.. Lily is probably inside... Is she?"

Erin hesitate to reach at the trap door. But she manage to open it. Her heart is beating so fast.

"I'll...Go i-in..!"

Erin's whole body is shaking, but she takes a deep breath again, and trying to calm herself.

"Okay.. Here goes n-"

"...Late..."

"?! AAAAAAAAHHHH-!"

.....

....

...

..

.

".....Ugh...."

Erin wake up.

"...W-Where am I...?"

Erin look around the "place" but she couldn't see anything.

"Ugh.. It's really dark.. Uhh... my head.... ...Where is my phone?!"

Erin panicked and started to crawl around, searching for her phone.

"Ughh..Where is my phone?!?!"

Erin is still panicking, and after some times searching for her phone in the middle of the dark, she ended giving up looking for her phone.

"*sigh*... ..What should I do now..."

All of the sudden -

*click*

"?!"

A candle lit.

"..H-how..?"

Erin also realize the color of the candle flame is Blue. Erin stands up, and walk towards where the candle is. The candle is on a wooden table, the candle has a candle holder on it.

"...? Why is it blue? What does this mean?"

Erin has so many questions, and then-

*Click-Clack*

"Huh?! Who's there?! L-Lily?"

Erin looked over at where the strange lit candle. She hold the candle holder, and bring the candle with her. With a source of light she can see her surroundings a little clearer now. The room she is in doesn't really have anything. Only a bookshelf, and the wooden table. Erin inspect the bookshelf, but there's nothing, only some cobwebs and dusts.

"Nothing... ..Where did that click sound is coming from anyway..."

Erin looked around the room, and she found a rustic door.

"..? (That click sound... sounds like a door being unlocked..?)"

Erin hesitate to go and see what's behind the door because she is still shocked by what happened. Erin realize if she fell from the basement trap door, when she look up...

"..If I fell, doesn't that mean there's supposed to be a door or something?"

Erin doesn't see any door or hole, there's only a ceiling wall above her.

"(...Where am I...? Am I really inside the basement?)"

She is trying to figure out where she is, and she can't come up with any places that looks like where she is now. And then she glance back at the rustic door.

"(S-should I...Go in there?)"

Erin hesitate again, and her bad thoughts are coming to her, and make her scared even more.

"(What if I'm lost in there? What if I was being chased? I hate being chased! What if... I die..?)"

Erin is trying to shake her negative thoughts, and trying to get herself together.

"C'mon...You can do this, don't be scared Erin... Lily is here somewhere! ...maybe..."

Erin walk towards the rustic door. She reach out her hand to the door knob, and-

*Crrreakk..*

The rustic door open by itself, and make a creepy sounds. Erin is startled, and her hands started to shake again.

"(...Well...E-expected... Haha..ha..)"

Her gut is telling her to not go inside, but she knew if she wants to know what this place is, she has to go in.

"...This is the only way..."

She courage herself, and open the door wide. Erin uses the candle to help her to see what is inside the room. The candle is too weak to see what is inside, so Erin takes a step inside the room. The floor making a creak sounds as she takes a step inside. She looked back for a second to see the rustic door, and-

*Slam*

The door closed.

"...Yup, expected..."

Erin expect that to happen, and trying to see if the door is locked as well.

"Yup, locked too... Nice...*sigh*.... (..Well there's nothing in that room anyways, except this weird candle..)"

Erin sighed and then proceed to inspect the room she is in now. The room looked different from the first one. The first room has a concrete walls, floor, and ceiling. But this room has a wooden walls, floor, and ceiling. This room gives off a weird smell, Erin can't tell what it smells like, but it smells familiar. In that room, Erin saw another door. The door looks the same like the door where she came from. Erin approach the door, and try to open it.

"...Locked."

The rustic door is locked, and something tells her if the key is somewhere in this room.

"Well.. Better find the key than stand still here and do nothing.."

Erin wants to get out from this "place", so she courage herself and trying to be brave. Erin scan the room she is in, and there's not much stuff in this room. There's a shredded bed on the corner of the room, a little drawer beside the shredded bed, a bookshelf like in the previous room, and there's some books in the shelf, and a picture frame on the wall. Because of her curiosity, Erin approach the picture frame. She wants to see what the picture is, and she thinks probably the clue is on the picture. She learned this from games that she played with Lily.

"...?"

The picture is blurry, but Erin can see if it's a figure of a lady. The left eye is very clear, and Erin feels as if she is being watched by the Lady in the picture. Erin shrug the feeling off and starts to investigate the bookshelf. She put the candle on the empty part of the shelf, and start to investigate the books that are on the shelf. Erin count how many books there are, there are only 4 books. Erin pick up one of the book, and open it. Dusts flying out from the book, and-

"??? There's nothing?"

Erin flip over the pages, and there's no any words or pictures, or anything. Erin pick other book, and the book has nothing as well inside. Erin pick the other book again, and there's nothing too. All of the books have nothing in it, only dusts.

"...*sigh*..."

Erin put the books back on the shelf, she pick up the candle and walk towards the shredded bed.

Erin put the candle on the little shelf beside the bed. She starts to rummage through the shredded bed.

"*cough* Of course dusts again.. Huh?"

Erin found a torned picture behind the shredded bed. The picture is blurry and black. Behind the picture there's a sentence.

'Burn Me'

"...? (..Burn this? With what?)"

And then Erin realize if there's a candle.

"...Should I try it...?"

Erin is scared, and then she thought if there's nothing in this room, except this torned picture that has the word 'Burn Me' on the back. Erin has no choice, and walk up to the candle with the picture on her right hand. Her hand is shaking again, something tells her if this is a bad idea, but she tell herself again if there's nothing in this room. She hold out the picture to the candle, and the picture starts to lit. The flame is Blue as well.

Erin throw the picture to the ground because her right hand starts to hurt from the heat. Erin watch the picture being burned by the blue flames, and -

*clink*

"Huh?!"

A sudden sound is coming from the top of the shelf. Erin is startled, but she is also happy that something happen, she thought that means there's progress. The top of the bookshelf is too high for Erin to reach. Erin glance at the little drawer beside the shredded bed.

"..I think I can reach it if I stand on the drawer.."

Erin take the candle from on the little drawer and put it at the bookshelf. She tries to move the drawer, and it was really light. Erin push the little drawer to the bookshelf.

"..Okay! This should do it!"

Erin hop on the little drawer, and Erin can see finally what is on the top of the shelf.

"A key!"

A very rustic key. Erin reach out to the key, and all of the sudden -

*SLAM*

"GAH!"

Erin lose her balance, and fall.

"Oww... Ugh! What is-?!"

The picture of the Lady fell. Erin is terrified, because the Lady's left eye... is not like how it was before.

"...H-her eye... I-is.. Red...."
