Chapter 1
Yugi kept his eyes on the road as he drove into the hills surrounding Domino City. His mind wondered back to when he had heard the news of his grandfather's death and what had transpired after that.
Flashback
"Yugi Motou, It was your Grandfather's wish that you should have the house he grew up in. He wished that you should look after it for him and not to sell it."
"A house? You mean the Game shop?" Yugi asked utterly confused. Grandpa had never mentioned any other house to him in the entire time he had lived there.
"No not the Kame Game Shop, that is to be sold and the money is to go to the Domino Museum which your grandfather states held a big place in his heart."
"The shop is to be sold?" Yugi was shocked. His grandfather knew how much he loved games and yet he was leaving him some old hose that meant nothing to him and selling the only thing that he knew meant a lot to him.
"Yes the shop is to be sold. I am sorry if this is not what you wish to hear but the will is very clear on this Mr Motou."
"Okay thanks." Yugi said and taking the deeds to his new house, he shook hands with the solicitor and left.
End Flashback
Yugi's hands tightened on the steering wheel of the car as he drove deeper into the hills. This house really was out in the sticks and he was not looking forwards to being there. Maybe there was a village nearby where he could employ someone to look after the house for him, after all, how big could it be? He was sure his grandfather would have told him if they owned a very big house so maybe it was just a little cottage.
He was not angry with his grandpa, he had loved him too much to be angry, and he just wished he knew why he had decided to sell the Game shop. It didn't seem fair.
He drove on catching a glimpse of a house dotted here and there along the route. Finally he came to a turning with a dirty old sign pointing to it with the word 'Motou' almost ineligible written on it.
"Well this is it." He said to himself and turned onto the small road.
The car bumped along the road that was full of potholes and the weeds grew thickly. Evidently no one had been here for years. Turning a corner in the road, Yugi pulled to a sudden halt and got out the car in surprise.
Large rusty gates greeted him and behind them a long drive wound away to stop in front of a house. Yugi's mouth fell open as he looked at it. It was enormous! The house stretched either side of the double front door and held many windows. It looked very overgrown and ivy ran all over the walls obscuring a lot of them but Yugi could just make them out in the daylight.
"Well I sure have my work cut out here." He said as he double checked the sign on the gate which again said 'Motou'.
Walking forwards, he pushed at the gate and was surprised to find that it seemed to open easily even though it looked as if it hadn't been touched for years.
How many years? Yugi was twenty-five now and he had lived with his grandfather since he was a baby and his parents had died in a plane crash. In all that time, his grandfather had never once mentioned a large house that he owned. Yugi was having a hard time believing it and yet here he was in front of a mansion that was now his to look after.
Getting back into his car, he drove through the gates and up the drive to the front door. He had been given a set of keys for the house and after locking his car, he walked up to the front door and unlocked it with an unusually large key.
He walked into the house and stopped to take a look around. There was furniture scattered around inside the house all covered in dust sheets. He wondered from room to room looking around him as he went. Some light was coming in through the windows as he went and enabled him to see quite well as they were large windows and Yugi noticed shutters on the insides. He wondered if any of them still worked and decided to try later.
He worked his way round the entire ground floor that was so large that Yugi half wished he had laid a trail of bread crumbs so he could find his way back! He came across one door in the very large kitchen and opened it. He was faced with a set of steps leading down and knew that this must be the entrance to the cellar. He sniffed the air and although it smelt a little musty like the rest of the house, it did not smell damp so he knew it was dry. He decided to investigate the cellar later and continued his tour of the old house.
He arrived back at the front door and faced the large stairs that swept up to the first floor in a majestic arc. They were very dusty and his fingers left marks in it as he went up. They were very solid stairs and didn't creak at all. He reached the top and was faced with a long landing that led off in three directions with a lot of doors. He began to walk down the one to his left opening a few doors as he went to be greeted with what were once sumptuous rooms each with a large bed. Some were four poster beds and others were more ordinary but carved from what he could see where the dust sheets had slipped off a little. There was other furniture dotted round in the rooms too all covered up.
He re-traced his steps back to the top of the stairs and walked in the opposite direction opening more doors and finding much of the same as well as two or three bathrooms. One bedroom that was at the end was behind a set of double doors and he opened it to be faced with an enormous bed as well other furniture. He knew this was the master bedroom due to its sheer size as it was at least twice the size of all the other bedrooms he had seen so far. Off the bedroom there was a bathroom with a large bath in the center and behind another door in the bedroom he found what could only be a large dressing room.
He wondered again why his grandpa had never mentioned he owned such a house but couldn't figure it out and continued his tour.
Once again he retraced his steps back to the stairs and this time went straight ahead down the landing he had not explored yet.
This part of the house looked less decorated than the rest and at the end of the landing which only had two doors leading off it, Yugi found another set of stairs going up to what he knew must be the attic.
He began to climb up and was faced with a door at the top. He tried it and found it was locked so he took out his keys and tried them until one of them yielded and the door opened.
He stepped through into a room that seemed to be simply furnished with a smaller bed in it and what looked like a desk and chair under the sheets.
"When this house had servants, this must have been where they slept." Yugi thought and walked through into the next room, which was much the same as the first. Through room after room he went finding almost the same in each one. Some had two beds and the larger rooms even had three beds. He found two small bathrooms each of which held a small bathtub, sink and toilet. Yugi wondered if this place had running water even and decided to find out when he returned downstairs.
He made his way all the way to the end until he came to a room that was just under the eaves at the end of the house as the roof sloped on both sides. He walked in and was immediately greeted with a very cold feeling. There was a window at the end and shivering slightly from the cold, Yugi walked over to it to take a look. He could see the ground far below him and shivered again. This room was completely devoid of furniture and the cold feeling was giving him the creeps. He hurriedly left it and closed the door behind him.
Straight away he felt warm again and wondered why that room had felt so cold. He shrugged it off and made the long trek back downstairs to the front door again.
He walked through to the kitchen and tried one of the taps. The old pipes clanked and groaned but eventually gave forth some brown liquid that cleared quickly to become clear and very cold.
Pleased that there was at least running water, Yugi found a glass, which he rinsed out and filled. The water was ice-cold and very refreshing.
Feeling better, Yugi made his way through and decided to remove some of the dust sheets covering the furniture.
He went from room to room uncovering the furniture carefully and discovered that it was beautiful. He found that the dust sheets had done their job and it all looked clean and inviting. There was still ink in the pen he found on one of the desks in what had to be the library judging by all the books lining the shelves.
Yugi was pleased to find this as he loved to read and knew how he would spend his evenings. Everything he found was in almost perfect condition almost as if it had never been used which struck him as strange. Hadn't the solicitor said that his grandpa grew up here? Why was it that there were no scuff marks or knocks on anything?
He shrugged the questions off and as it was getting late, he decided to retrieve his things from the car and bed down for the night.
Half an hour later found Yugi settling down in the bed in the huge master bedroom after all he figured this was his house now so why not enjoy it? He had found a closet full of sheets and blankets and had made the bed up using them. They seemed to be clean and in excellent condition and he was pleased about that.
It had been a long a tiring day and Yugi was asleep almost before his head hit the pillow.
"Yugi… Yugi…"
Yugi woke with a start and sat bolt upright in bed. He was sweating profusely and was all tangled up in the sheets. He had been having some kind of dream but he couldn't remember what it was.
"Yugi… Yugi…"
"W-Who's there?" Yugi called going for his torch that he had put by the bed before he went to sleep. He shone it round the room. Who was in the house? And how did they know his name?
"Yugi… Help me…" The voice said. It sounded very far away and shaking slightly, Yugi got out of bed and left the bedroom.
"Where are you?" He called into the darkness.
"This way…" The voice said "Hurry… Please help me…"
Yugi hurried off in the direction of the voice. He reached the top of the stairs and looked round.
"Which way?" he called out and his voice echoed round the big old house.
"This way… up here…" it said and Yugi hurried off in the direction of the attics. He ascended the stairs and went through each room in turn before coming to the one at the very end.
He didn't want to go in again after the creepy feeling had had gotten earlier that day but the voice was urgent and laced with panic.
"Please hurry…" it said and taking a deep breath, Yugi opened the door and stepped into the darkness of the room beyond.
His torch suddenly lost power and went out and he banged it to try and get it to work again.
"Yugi… follow my voice… I'm here…" The disembodied voice came again and so Yugi began to walk forwards.
"What's wrong? I'm here to help you I…" Yugi broke off and screamed as he found there was nothing in front of him to walk on. He flung his arms out to grab something, anything to stop himself from falling but there was nothing and he was falling…
All he could hear as he fell was laughter, cold cruel laughter and he screamed….
TBC…
Oooh I'm so evil! Cliffy on the first chapter no less! Well like it? Hate it? Let me know! See ya next chappie!
