Jules

Her emotional state changed when faced with the eerie atmosphere inside; she cried when unable to shake off the feeling of being watched. Her tears added an element of vulnerability and closeness among their small group.
A legend has always warned that a mansion on the hill is cursed, and whoever dares to enter will never come out alive.
For years, brave teenagers have gathered at the foot of the hill, ready to test their courage by sneaking into the mansion.
Tonight, it’s my turn with my group of friends.
We’ve been talking about this for a while, and I finally made up my mind to do it.
Ben, my close friend, is not keen on the idea.
"You’re out of your mind," he says.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
I nod my head.
"Yes, I’m sure. We’ll be fine."
I know he’s concerned about me, but I know I can handle this.
After all, I am the one who loves exploring mysteries.
I am always ready for anything new.
"Okay," he finally gives in.
"If that’s what you want, I’ll do it with you."
The others also agree, though I can tell they are not as enthusiastic as I am.
We wait until nightfall before making our move.
As we climb the hill, the trees around us grow taller and denser, casting long shadows on the ground.
The wind blows gently, rustling the leaves and causing an eerie whispering sound that sends goosebumps down my skin.
I shiver despite myself and tell myself not to be silly.
I am not scared of anything.
Standing at the entrance, I grip the rusted brass doorknob in my hand.
It’s cold to the touch, biting into my palm.
Behind me, Jules whispers a quiet prayer under her breath.
Matt shines his flashlight beam across the weathered door frame, illuminating the cracks and crevices that line its surface.
The ancient wood creaks beneath my weight as I push forward.
A musty wave of stale air rushes out, making Tom cough loudly.
Ben grabs my shoulder, his voice low and urgent.
"Are you sure we should do this?"
I shrug him off, my heart pounding in my chest.
The door groans in protest as I force it wider, revealing a dark foyer beyond.
Cobwebs cling to the corners of the room, casting long shadows on the walls.
Jules steps closer, her voice barely above a whisper, "Do you feel that? It's like the air is alive in here."
Matt nods, his eyes scanning the room nervously, "Yeah, it's like something's watching us, waiting."
Tom clears his throat, trying to sound braver than he feels, "Maybe it's just the wind playing tricks on us... or maybe it's the curse."
While searching the foyer, I notice something white peeking out from beneath a rotting cabinet.
I crouch down, my fingers brushing against the dusty floor as I pull out a yellowed piece of paper.
Dust clouds rise into the beam of Matt's flashlight, making us cough.
Ben grabs my shoulder, his voice low and urgent, "Don't touch anything. We don't know what it is."
But it's too late.
I've already unfolded the paper, revealing a hand-drawn map of the mansion.
Jules leans in close, her eyes scanning the intricate pathways and symbols etched into the parchment, "It looks like a map... maybe there are hidden rooms or passages."
Tom's voice trembles slightly as he jokes, "Maybe we'll find some pirate treasure."
The paper feels strangely warm in my hands as I trace the winding paths with my finger.
There's an 'X' marked in one corner, located in what appears to be the east wing of the mansion.
While studying the map under Matt's flashlight beam, I notice faint marks bleeding through from the back of the paper.
I turn it over, but there's nothing there.
Holding it up to the light, however, reveals ghostly writing between the drawn lines.
Jules leans in closer, her breath fogging the beam, "What is that?"
The text appears to be a diary entry, written in shaky handwriting.
I start deciphering the words, my voice barely above a whisper, "It says... ‘I can't believe what I've done... I never meant for it to go this far...’"
Suddenly, Tom's elbow bumps against a vase on a nearby shelf, sending it crashing to the floor.
The sound echoes through the empty halls of the mansion like a gunshot.
Ben grabs my arm, his voice urgent, "We need to get out of here. Now."
Jules shakes her head, her eyes wide with determination, "No, wait. We need to know what happened here."
Matt nods in agreement, his voice steady despite the tension, "She's right. If there's a chance to break the curse, we have to take it."
Tom hesitates, glancing nervously at the shattered vase, "But what if we're not meant to find out? What if that's part of the curse?"
I fold the map and stuff it in my pocket, then crouch beside the cabinet where I found it.
The wood feels oddly warm against my palm as I run my hands along its surface, searching for anything unusual.
Jules kneels beside me, her flashlight beam illuminating intricate carvings that I hadn't noticed before.
Ben and Tom stand a few feet away, their voices hushed as they argue about whether to leave or stay.
Matt keeps watch at the entrance to the foyer, his eyes scanning the dark hallway beyond.
Suddenly, Jules's fingers catch on something - a small metal protrusion barely visible behind a strip of peeling wallpaper.
She tugs at it gently, but it doesn't budge.
"Guys, come check this out," she whispers urgently.
Ben and Tom turn towards us, their faces illuminated by the beam of Matt's flashlight.
"What is it?" he asks, his voice low and cautious.
"I think there's a switch or something here," Jules replies, her voice filled with excitement. I move closer, my eyes fixed on the small metal protrusion.
It's hard to see in the dim light, but it looks like some kind of mechanism.
I reach out a hand to touch it, but Jules grabs my wrist.
"Wait," she says, her voice urgent.
"We don't know what it does."
Matt steps forward, his eyes scanning the area around us.
"I think we should be careful," he says quietly.
"There's something strange going on here."
As if to emphasize his point, a loud creaking noise echoes through the hallway behind us.
We all turn towards the sound, our hearts pounding in our chests.
"What was that?"
Tom asks nervously.
Matt shakes his head.
"I don't know," he replies quietly.
"But I think we should get out of here."
Jules hesitates for a moment, her eyes fixed on the small metal protrusion in front of us.
Then she reaches out a hand and presses it firmly. The sound of creaking wood fills the air as the cabinet groans and shifts slightly to one side.
We all stare at each other in shock as a small opening appears in the wall behind it.
Ben steps forward, his voice a mix of awe and fear, "It's a secret passage. This place is full of surprises."
Jules glances at me, her eyes wide with excitement, "Do you think it leads to the 'X' on the map?"
Tom swallows hard, trying to steady his nerves, "Or maybe it's where the curse began."
I stare into the gaping darkness of the passage, Matt's flashlight beam barely penetrating its depths.
The musty air from within carries a metallic scent that makes my nose wrinkle.
Tom shuffles nervously behind us, while Ben keeps glancing back at the foyer, suggesting one last time that we should leave.
Before I can step forward, Jules's warm hand suddenly grips mine, her fingers trembling slightly as they interlock with my own.
The unexpected contact makes me freeze.
Her palm feels clammy against mine, but her grip is firm and determined.
Jules whispers, her voice steady despite the tremor in her hand, "We have to see this through. Together."
Ben nods, his eyes reflecting a mix of fear and resolve, "If there's a chance to end this curse, we can't turn back now."
Tom takes a deep breath, trying to mask his apprehension with bravado, "Alright then, let's find out what secrets this place is hiding."
I lead the way, my feet carrying me forward into the narrow passage.
Matt's flashlight beam bounces off the damp stone walls, casting eerie shadows that dance around us.
The metallic smell grows stronger with each step, and I can feel the chill of the stone seeping through my shoes.
Jules keeps hold of my hand as we inch our way deeper, our shoulders brushing against the cold walls.
Tom's nervous breathing echoes behind us, and Ben's steady footsteps offer a sense of reassurance.
Suddenly, a scratching sound ahead makes us all freeze in unison.
"What was that?"
Ben whispers, his voice barely audible over the pounding of our hearts.
"Maybe we should turn back," Tom suggests, his voice laced with fear.
But before we can respond, something small and dark darts between our legs, causing Jules to yelp in surprise.
Her grip on my hand tightens painfully as she stumbles backward.
The creature's claws click against the stone floor as it runs past us, disappearing into the darkness ahead.
