Today is an exciting day! You and your friends have been invited to stay the night in the World's Most Haunted Castle. You and your friends have been waitng an enternity for this day. Every Wednesday you guys would get together and watch scary movies together, just for preparation for this night. You hope that these movies will be all the training you need, but you can't decide whether you're [[excited]] or [[nervous]].You are incredibly excited! Sure, you may have had a little bit of nervousness but it quickly fades and is replaced by an overwhelming joy for the upcominng adventure. You have been preparing forever for this exact moment. You and your friends have watched dozens of scary movies in anticipation for this trip. A "haunted house"? That means nothing to you, since you know that you can handle anything. As you and your friends drive over a hill and you all see [[the house]] for the first time.You look out of the window of your friend's car and your hands begin to shake. The tension is building up inside of you so quickly and you can barely control it. Your eyes quickly dart all around, checking to make sure that your friends can't tell how nervous you actually are. You decide that you will hide the fact that you are terrified as best as you can and make the most out of the situation as you and your friends drive over the final hill that then reveals [[the house]] for the first time.The people who are in charge of running the haunted house kept calling it a house over the phone, but you see that this is no ordinary house. This is an extravagant old-school mansion. The Victorian style architecture is very eye grabbing. You and your friends have just arrived and it is already time to split up and check out different areas of the property. [[To the left]] of the house there is a forest, but you don't know if that is a good idea since dark clouds are beginning to roll in. [[To the right]] of the house there is an old cemetery, complete with a mausoleum that is rumored to hold old secrets. Then, of course you could [[go straight]] into the mansion.Against your better judgement, you decide to go and check out the forest while your friends go and explore the other areas of the property. You are not sure why all of your friends decided to split up, but here you are alone in the middle of the forest. The wind begins picking up and it begins to make weird noises through the trees. A dark feeling of dread begins to wash over you and your eyes begin to play tricks on you. You journey into the forest deeper and deeper until you can't remember which direction you came from. You think that you can see someone or something behind a tree in front of you. You realize that you have two options here. You can either [[approach the person]] or [[continue on your own]].Being fearless, you decide that you will be the person to investigate the cemetery. You head into the cemetery and begin wandering around. The cemetery is much larger than you originally thought and you are impressed with the intricate headstones. Each and every headstone has a unique design. As the time goes by, you realize that you have been to enveloped in the designs of the headstones and you have no been paying attention to where you were. You are now hopelessly lost and a storm is rolling in. You can either try to [[retrace your steps]] or you can take shelter [[in the mausoleum]].You decide that you want to be the one to head straight inside the mansion. With all horror movie cliches being present, the giant wooden doors open slowly by themselves with a loud creak. You step into the main room of the mansion and look around. The decor is stunning. There are old portraits hanging on the walls, old but lavish furniture, and everything is trimmed in gold. You have no idea who owned this house, but they had to of been incredibly wealthy. You now want to either venture up the [[grand staircase]] or go into [[the kitchen]].You begin to get closer and closer to the person behind the tree. Just when you get close enough to start a conversation, they dart away, deeper into the forest and you chase after them. The person is dressed in a dark hooded cloak and you weren't able to get a look at their face. You continue to shout at the person, asking for any sort of assistance but they continue running through the forest.
After chasing the person for awhile you come up to a clearing with two pathways. You have no idea which path the hooded person went down. There is a path on [[the left]] and a path on [[the right]].You know that it is best if you just ignore the person and continue on your own. You turn in the opposite direction and begin to run. While you are running, you can hear whatever was behind the tree running after you. When you turn to look at it, you see a monstrous black dog with razor sharp teeth chasing you. You are instantly terrified and realize the dog is gaining ground fast. You must think quickly, you can either [[climb up a tree]] or stand and [[fight the dog]].Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.Fear turns into rage as you choose to stand and fight for your life. There is a stick on the ground you quickly snatch to keep the beast at bay. You keep waving your stick in front of you in hopes of scaring off the dog. Instead, the dog just snarls at you, waiting for its moment to strike. The dog lunges at you and you swing your stick to no avail. The dog's jaws latch on to your thigh. You drop to the ground in agony as the dog continues its assault. Just when you think that these are your last moments there is a loud whistle and the dog stops, looks around and then heads back into the forest. You count your blessings then get up and realize that you need to find help as soon as possible. You can stay put and [[call out for help]] or go back the [[way you came]].You head up the impressive staircase which leads to a long hallway. There are numerous doors on each side of the hallway. You open the first door and you see a beautiful bedroom, complete with a personal bathroom and even a chandelier. The room was decorated with lots of gold and silver. This must be the master bedroom you think to yourself. The glamorous bed looks very inviting and you are quite exhausted. Do you [[sleep in the bed]] or [[continue adventuring]]?Double-click this passage to edit it.You begin calling out for help as loud as you can. The wind is still blowing intensely and drowning out your pleas for help. You are losing a lot of blood fast and everything starts to feel hopeless. The dark clouds have officially moved in and you begin fading in and out of consciousness. You call out one last time and you can see that you have attracted the attention of something. As everything begins to fade to black you can see the outline of the dog.Double-click this passage to edit it.You foolishly attempt to retrace your steps and the storm is getting closer and closer. The skies grow dark and the wind becomes relentless. Then, you hear the thunder. Your attempts to retrace your steps prove to be completely useless, as now you believe you are more lost than before. Almost miraculously, you see a woman standing near one of the headstones and you ask her for help. She is a sweet looking woman and greets you with a warm smile. She offers to guide you out of the cemetery. You can either [[accept]] or [[deny]] her help.You get inside the mausoleum just as the sky opens up and rain rushes down. The rain is so intense you can barely see outside. You pull your lighter out of your pocket and decide to look around. The mausoleum is huge and creepy at the same time. You can see the graves of people that must've died ages ago. The smell is also very uninviting. You can either [[return outside]] or venture down the staircase [[deeper into the mausoleum]].Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.Double-click this passage to edit it.
