GHOST HOUSE

KLAIR

Hey, that's me!

KLAIR

Hey, that's...

KLAIR

...Hey.

Everything else fades away except the photo that's now in your hands. The image of your brother blurs, and you're barely able to register that tears have sprung up in your eyes. Blood's rushing in your ears, and while you can hear some commotion from Leon - and see him, out of the corner of your vision - you don't take your eyes off the photo. Distanly, you register arms around you, and someone pressing a kiss into your hair. When you finally process your surroundings again, you're crumpled on the floor, gripping the photo, Bonnie seated next to you and holding you tightly. It's the only thing grounding you right now.

Leon is yelling.

LEON

...you knew, you sick fuck! You brought us here knowing exactly what was going to fucking happen! We should've never trusted you!

BAI

I-I swear I didn't know! I only realized when we stepped in here that it could be--

ISSAC

He, he's only been missing for a couple of days... you said he's been here for a long time, Bai.

BAI

I told you, time in here works d-different, this House transcends time and sp--

ISSAC

L-Leon, put it down.

LEON

No! This glowing little shit knew EXACTLY what they were doing! They're part of the fucking HOUSE, Issac!

BAI

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't want...

Bai's voice is trembling, and they're fizzing like the end of a stick of TNT. You can't see Leon, but you hear a loud thud.

LEON

S-Son of a bitch.

ISSAC

Don't kick the toyboxes, babe.

LEON

This is just, it's fucking... it's just so fucking... fucked.

Leon's panting now. You still can't see him.

ISSAC

Maybe you should have a seat, Leon. C'mon. You're shaking.

LEON

I'm just... fine.

There's another, louder thud.

ISSAC

Leon!!

It's now that Bonnie lets you go. You look towards Leon and Issac, and you see the former is sprawled out on the floor, while the latter is crouched over him, worriedly patting his chest.

ISSAC

What did you do to him?

BAI

Nothing! I didn't do anything! This is all Emmeryn!

BONNIE

Emmeryn? The- The ghost in the attic? What's she doing to Leon?

LEON

F-Fuck...

BAI

She's trying to possess him to bring him to the attic and kill him! Leon's been fighting this all night!

ISSAC

All night!? Did you know about this?

BAI

I- w-well...

LEON

Of course... they did. They're... part of the House. We- We can't... trust...

You should speak. You should move. You should do something. Anything.
