Kidnapped
Part One (Click Here To Hide/Show Text)
Boy: Ah... What a wonderful day to be alive!
Girl: Hey wait up!
Boy: C'mon Sis! Keep up!
Girl: *Huff *Huff* Why'd you run off so fast? I told you I wanted to go straight home.
Boy: But check out these ruins! This place is amazing?
Girl: Something here makes me feel uneasy. Can we get going now?
Boy: Why? We just got here, plus these old buildings are more interesting than the ones standing in our village. How long do you think this castle has been here?
Girl: Who knows... Come on, let's go, Jory. It's getting late.
Jory: No way, not yet. I'm not leaving until I find something I can bring back to show Ven. I'm gonna go check out over here.
...
Jory: Woah! Mary Check it out! I think I found some dead guy's bones..
Mary: Ugh, so gross. I hope he doesn't bring them over here. Great here, he comes.
Jory: *Gasp
Mary: What! What is it!? It looks like you've just seen a ghost.
Jory: Uh.. nothing. It was nothing. I think it's time we went back home now...
Mary: OK... You're starting to weird me out. What's wrong?
Jory: I don't know... I must be.. tired, or hungry, or something.
Mary: Or something? Well that's wonderful. If we're done here I'll be leaving. Don't hang around too long..
Jory: (This isn't real.. Just pretend nothing happened) W-w-wait for me.
Mary: I can't believe I let him drag me all the way out here... Stupid brother always has his way. "Ooh! Look over heeeere." Blah blah blah. So stupid... *Mumble
Jory: Wait!!
...
Mary: Finally home. At least we've made it back before, wait. When did it become so dark?
Jory: This is creepy, sis. Something feels wrong.
Mary: Like what? You've been acting strange for a while now, mind telling me what's got you so shaken?
Jory: Uh, well. How does one put this. I think I'm being watched. By phantoms or ghouls. Whatever it is, I'm freaked out.
Mary: Hahahaha.. Must be your imagination. Some much for Jory, the brave adventurer.
Jory: Hey! Take that back!
Mary: Try breathing or something. And stop getting so close to me!
Jory: I'm serious! There was something back there.
Mary: You're just trying to scare me.
Jory: Fine. Don't believe me.
Mary: You better not go back there alone.
Jory: I wasn't plann-
???: You there.
Jory: !?!
???: Your sister, she comes with me.
Mary: Who's there!?
