The Haunting of the Old Manor
The moon hung low in the inky sky, casting jagged shadows across the path as the group of friends known as StrayKids ventured deeper into the woods. Their laughter echoed through the trees, but as they turned the corner of a winding trail, the mirth faded into a shared silence. Ahead, an imposing silhouette emerged against the nocturnal backdrop—a decrepit house, long forgotten and shrouded in ghostly whispers. The old manor had become the stuff of urban legends, tales spun by locals about the dark phantoms that roamed its halls. But curiosity had drawn them here, and the thrill of the unknown pulsed through them like adrenaline.
"Are we really doing this?" Han's voice quivered slightly as he glanced at Lee Know, who stood beside him, every muscle tense.
"Of course we are!" Bang Chan laughed, though there was an edge of uncertainty lurking behind his bravado. With determination etched into his features, he stepped forward, a torch in hand that illuminated a path into the yawning entrance of the manor.
With a visceral need for reassurance, Lee Know instinctively latched onto Han's arm, squeezing tightly enough that Han stifled a nervous laugh, his eyes wide with apprehension.
Felix, just behind them, reached out for I.N as if finding solace in the younger boy's presence. "You’re not going to let any ghosts get us, right?" Felix tried to joke, though even he could feel the prickle of fear on the back of his neck.
I.N simply nodded, eyes darting around their surroundings. Changbin loomed protectively behind Bang Chan, his gaze flitting from Seungmin to Hyunjin as they fell into the old house.
The air inside was heavy and stale, time suspended within the walls, which were coated in layers of dust and shadow. The creaking floorboards sang a mournful tune under their hesitant steps. Each room they entered whispered secrets of lives long gone, rickety furniture standing as stoic witnesses to the house's tragic history.
"This place feels... alive," Hyunjin muttered, glancing over his shoulder as if he could sense unseen eyes watching them, lurking just outside the reach of the dim light.
Seungmin nodded in agreement, merging his shoulder against Changbin’s, seeking comfort. "It’s probably just old wood and drafts," he reasoned, but his voice was barely above a whisper.
Bang Chan led them into the grand central hall, where peeling wallpaper revealed faded patterns of elegance—a haunting reminder of parties once held under the glow of chandeliers that now lay broken on the floor. The chandelier swayed, creaking ominously as if stirred by unseen hands, drawing gasps from the group.
"Did you guys see that?!" Lee Know pressed closer to Han, who now seemed more excited than afraid.
Before anyone could respond, a sharp thud rang out from a room nearby—a sound so sudden that it rattled their courage.
"Let’s check it out!" Bang Chan urged, enthusiastic yet haunted by an undercurrent of fear. They stepped into the room, the shadows stretching toward them like tendrils.
As they entered, an icy breeze swept past, blowing the door shut behind them with a heart-stopping slam.
"Seriously, guys! Let’s not do this!" Felix’s voice broke through the air, each syllable trembling.
Changbin scanned the room, his instincts screaming that something was off. Candelabras flickered against the walls, casting dancing shadows that twisted into grotesque shapes. A figure flickered against his peripheral vision—a shadow darting just beyond the candlelight. His heart raced, blood hammering in his ears.
"Did you see that?" Changbin yelled, the birth of panic evident in his voice.
Hyunjin, feeling the weight of the atmosphere, nonetheless summoned his courage. "It could just be the shadows playing tricks on us, right?" But with each passing second, even he felt the electric chill snaking across his spine.
"No, we need to go back!" I.N yelped, voice cracking as every instinct told him to flee.
As if responding to their fear, the ghosts of the old manor awoke from their slumber. Muffled whispers grazed past their ears, incoherent yet insistent, stirring dread in their hearts. Unseen hands brushed against them—cold, ice-cold fingers that sent shivers cascading down their spines.
Lee Know clung harder to Han, who instinctively pulled him closer. "We shouldn't have come here!" he gasped.
Bang Chan, normally brave and unwavering, found his grip on the torch loosening and his stride faltering. The shadows danced closer, and he felt the weight of despair pushing against him, a palpable force meant to suffocate their resolve. The phantoms seemed to drift nearer, each murmur like a chilling caress on the back of their necks, trapping the friends in a curtain of terror.
And then it happened: a figure materialized before them, a visage twisted in sorrow and rage. It reached out with skeletal fingers, its mouth moving in a silent scream.
Fear erupted within the group like a primal scream, an explosion of flight responses. They surged toward the door, but it swung open eerily, as if welcoming them back to the outside world.
"Run!" Bang Chan bellowed, his voice fierce against the dread. They barreled out of the house, heedless of the bramble scratching at their legs, the cold wind screaming in their ears. The shadows followed them, struggling to pull their spirits back to the dark corners of the manor.
Once they burst into the moonlit clearing, breathless and wide-eyed, they didn’t stop running until they reached the safety of the open road.
In a panting heap on the ground, they collapsed, hearts racing and laughter bubbles transforming into gasps of relief. They could still feel the icy fingers lingering, but they had escaped.
Yet, even as they tried to shake the terror from their minds, they could hear it; soft whispers, just out of reach, slithering back into the dark depths of the old manor.
And StrayKids knew—some things never let go once they’ve had their taste of fear.
