Haunted Mansion Mini Mafia - Page 3

I poured a glass of pinot noir as I sat down with disformation for a late night dinner.

"So how was work tonight? Tour group incidents got you down? You look tired," I quipped.

"This last tour group...." his voice trailed off, "has been quite exhausting."

"I imagine the tragedies of the last several days have really gotten to you."

I allowed my close friend to eat in peace, looking at how worn his face was, I figured some alone time would allow him to recover. I retreated up to the study and began to type some emails. Seemingly out of nowhere, disformation's hand gently touched my shoulder.

"Ah yes?" I answered, slightly startled, "what's wrong?"

"Dani," he started, with a piercing look in his eyes, "I have a bit of a confession to make."

I held his trembling hand, attempting to calm him down. But instead, disformation pulled me very close to him.

"My goodness," I responded, "what is wrong. You have to tell me."

"It hurts so much," he responded. His grip grew firm enough and I started to shake his hand in a panic."

"WHAT ON EARTH IS WRONG?" I exclaimed.

He pushed me gently against the wall. I looked down at his hand. It was then did I realise what was happening.

disformation....wasn't human.

I was being seduced...by a necromancer.

Immediately I spurted into self-defence mode and recalled all the moves I'd learnt in my capoeira classes. I leapt low and dropkicked disformation as he lunged to grab me.

disformation screamed in pain as he doubled back. I ran out of my room and headed to the basement where I had a cabinet of chemicals. I grabbed a bottle of ammonium nitrate and poured enough of it into a spray bottle before grabbing a pick axe to use as a potential weapon.

"RAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" the necromancer screamed as he burst into the basement.

I charged the monster and sprayed him right in the face. The chemicals reacted immediately resulting in a piercing scream.

"Get away from me you bastard!" I screamed. "WHY!?!??!?!?!?"

Disformation melted away and erupted in a boiling mess, as his remants were sprayed around, including on me.

Immediately fearing the worst, I hopped on my motorcycle and sped to the lodge, about a 3km ride. The security guards were confounded by what a mess I looked but I didn't care.

"Is everyone alright?" I yelled at them. I tried to explain what happened.

"Alright," the sergeant replied, "we're on it, we're going to clear out the castle and the lodging area."

In minutes, the remaining party members were brought out of the premises and later, the sergeant emerged from the castle.

"We did find a serious stench in what was disformation's area of the castle. We're not sure what it was, but at the very least, no one else on staff or in the lodge was hurt. We'll get them off the property and conduct a full investigation but I think it's safe to say comparing what you smell like right now and what his area smells like, the necromancers might be permanently eradicated."

The officers took me away to a lab to gather samples but as I turned around, I counted roughly seven tourists all huddled together.
