Snippet #1175188

Charles came down to the basement and smelled the smell of rotten flesh then he saw his zombie.. or what was left of it.
Why am i not suprised He tought and tried not to step in anything. He reached his door and put his hand on the doorknob and stepped in. He walked over to the desk and put his bottle and glass down. Wadsworth jumped off him and climbed up on the wardrobe.
'' So what to do about the exploded zombie Wadsworth?'' He asked and sat down in his rocking chair. He hadn't seen a house spirit yet.. maby the house didn't have one. That would be odd nearly every old house that had magic in it usally had some sort of spirit. He remembered Charlotte, his house spirit back in 1834 when he lived in England.

1834 England
Victory Manor.

The manor had been built on the remains of a old castle from the dark ages. So Charlotte had survived in the only thing intact from the castle. one of the smaller towers that later had been rebuilded into the manor.

Charles opened the door and took of his tophat.
'' I'm home!'' He called out and took of his coat. Charlotte came floating down the stairs. She didn't like traveling thru walls and floors. She looked gracefull today with her purple dress and blonde hair that reached her waist. She looked like she was in his age but she was as old as the castle.
'' Good day Mr.Brookshire, I've missed you'' She said and blushed. They had some strange kind of relationship. She loved him but she was just a spirit. Well she wasn't just a spirit for Charles, he always treated her like something alive.
'' I've missed you too... Do i smell dinner?'' He asked and went into the dining room. Charlotte floated after him and giggled.
'' Yes you do'' She said and pointed at the bottle of blood and the very rare steak, just the way he liked it. He smiled and took a seat.
'' Oh thank you Charlotte'' He smiled and started to eat.

He snapped out of his daydreaming when Wadsworth threw a grape on him.
'' Stop it Wadsworth I'm awake'' He said and threw back the grape. Then he got up and looked into the mirror.
'' Madame House Spirit, Would you care to help me clean up an exploded zombie? He asked and kept looking into the mirror. She probably wouldn't appear in the mirror. She was more likely to pop out behind him and try to scare him like Charlotte did the first days in the manor before she accepted him.
