8the group traveled on thru the endless mansion until they found themselves in one of the bedrooms n they see Melanie sitting at the vanity dresser brushing her hair8
Paul: 8gestured the group to her8
Pendragon; 8stepped forward8
Melanie: 8was still brushing her hair, humming the same melancholy song8
Pendragon; Melanie?
Melanie: 8doesnt hear him, continued humming away8
Pendragon; 8came up behind her8
Melanie: 8looks up to see Pendragon's reflection on the mirror8 Ohh, hello. Is the ceremony ready? R the guests all there? I hope I'm not too fashionably late. Don't want to keep Victor waiting at the altar now, do we? 8was a little out of it, trapped in time in her mind8
Leota; Oh no 8shook her head8
Paul: Wat's wrong?
Leota; Some spirits don't know their dead n r trapped in time as it were
Ozzy: /Crap. Then how r we going to get thru her?/
Pendragon; Try n find Victor
Paul: U said he hung himself in the attic, right? One of these attics must be where he is. We can find him there
Pendragon; That was Master Gracey Paul, who knows where Victor is
Paul: Bt it was still somewhere near the attic, tht I remember u telling me. We'll just hv to try our luck ard there
8the group headed off leaving the bride to her dream8
Melanie: 8returned to brushing her hair8
Ozzy: /So where shall we start?/
Thrax; 8leaned on the wall but fell through it, revealing a hidden stairway8
Ozzy: 8grabbed his wrist so he wouldnt fall further8 /Woah, babe. U OK?/
Thrax; 8shook off the dust8 I'm fine baby
Paul: Wow, u got lucky too, huh? 8looks dwn the stairways8 I wonder where tht leads to
Thrax; There's only one way to find out 8lead them along the passage8
8the group followed behind Thrax8
8the reached a locked door with Thrax melting the key n opened the door8
Paul; 8peeked in to see, tho held onto Pendragon just in case8
Thrax; 8stepped in then paled8 Oh my Goliath
Ozzy: 8came to him n looked towards where he was looking8
8the hanging from the rafters was a skeleton in a ragged suit, it's hands tied behind his back8
Ozzy: /Woah.../
Paul: 8his breath hitched at the sight8
Thrax; 8looked the skeleton over, what hair was left was pure black n the suit looked formal but not high-end8
Ozzy: /Could this be Victor?/
Thrax; 8took out the sketch n held it up8
Ozzy: 8compared it along with him8
8though hard to tell the structure of the skeleton was similar to Victor8
Ozzy: /Use ur pendant, babe. Maybe it might shine some light on the situation/
Thrax; 8held his up8
8the pendant somehow glowed n illuminated the corpse's features, almost like a hologram ovr it, n it showed the exact image of the sketch8
Thrax; It's him
Paul: If his body is here, his spirit has got to be somewhere else 8sees the bound hands8 Ugh, wat a terrible way to go
Thrax; 8examined the rope, there was evidence of a broken cervical vertebraen n the knot looked like yosemite bowline knot8
Ozzy: /Tht looks like some reli complicated knot right there/
Thrax; And a strong one to
Ozzy: /Paul's right, his spirit had to be somewhere if his body is here/
Thrax; 8spun round as he felt an evil presance8
Ozzy: 8held onto Thrax8 /Wat is it, babe?/
Thrax; Something's here
Paul: 8hugged Pendragon, kept on alert8
8there was a sudden cold-blooded laugh8
Ozzy: /Who goes there?/
8a sharp cold wind blew through the room8
Paul: Sh-Show urself, u coward!
8a dark shadow swept through, snatching away Victor's body8
Ozzy: /Hey! What the--?/
Paul: Right there! Its going tht direction!
Thrax; 8ran after it8
8the rest of the group followed suite8
8the Phantom dragged the young soul away8
Ozzy: /Hey! U give him bk!!/
Paul: Damn, he's fast.
Lottie: R u sure u should be running in ur condition?
Pendragon; 8scooped Paul onto his back8
