Image
Image

backstory: Leighla was raised in a small home in Toronto ever since she was born. Leighla was raised only by her father, so she learned to cook, clean, and take care of her father at a young age. Since she was poor, Leighla never took education for granted and graduated 1st in her class in highschool. Leighla was always very passionate about art, and she is so good at it that some of her works are hung up in galleries. When it comes to relationships, Leigh never seemed to find good people and would always end up dating jerks. Because of this, Leigh doesn't know whether or not she's willing to fall back in love. Leigh has been involved in some messy situations, like attending parties with drugs and alchohal without her knowing, and witnessing her best friend attempting to commit suicide. Although Leigh has much anxiety from these situations, she releases the negative energy she feels inside through her artwork.
personality: Leighla prefers the old to the new and is an introvert at heart. She is extremely responsible and will often times act like a mother figure. She will go to odds ends to help those that she loves, and will put aside her own needs for the benfits of others. Then again, sometimes Leigh will care too much about others and not tend to her own needs. Leighla has never really learned to "let her hair down".

So begins...

Leigh opened her eyes slowly, looking up at the tan ceiling of her bedroom once again. She was still a little drowsy, but she started to lift up her body. Her eyes shifted to the dresser next to her, where a small notebook sat. She grabbed a pen next to the notebook, and put another tally mark. There were now fifteen tiny marks on the page.

Leigh didn't bother to put on normal clothes, and instead, walked through the hallways in her pajamas. Today was a somewhat special day, and she wanted to get something done before anyone else could see it.

Leigh made her way up to the old, chipped wooden door, and looked down at the mat. There lay a silver, rusty skeleton key, now the 5th key. Every 3 days, a new key would be left by the door. Because Leigh had kept track of the days in her notebook, she was able to figure this out.
Leigh picked up the key, feeling it inside her cold hands, and prayed. She prayed that today would be the day. She put the key in the lock, but it barely fit.

Leigh shrugged, but instead of storming around in frustration, She trudged on to the lounge. She made her way to one of the tables, where a small silver box was kept. She quickly opened the box and stuffed the key inside, not even looking at the other four keys, for fear that they would upset her.

Leigh could hear her stomach growl, so she quickly walked into the kitchen and heated up the stove. She grabbed a black pan and a couple of eggs. Once the pan was on the fire, she cracked the eggs, pouring the insides into the pan. Leigh decided that she would make breakfast before the other kids came into the kitchen. That way, she could at least cheer them up before telling them the horrible news.

Allison decided to further explore. She found an entryway and a door. She hurriedly rush dot the door and tried to open it, but of course it was locked. She slumped against the door and sighed. She crept through the rest of the place and discovered there was no other doors to the outside, and no windows. What kind of a place didn't have windows. The whole place confused her and she walked into the last room, a kitchen. There was somebody in there, but it was another girl her age. She frowned and sat down at a table. "What is this place?" She asked.

Leigh was surprised by the noise, and turned around. There stood a girl with wispy blonde girl, about her own age, who had asked, "What is this place?"

"New recruit?" Leigh asked with a smile. She was used to new people showing up almost every day. "Welcome to the Moretza Mansion, home of Robert and Chloe Moretza from 1908 to 1926. At least, thats what the books say." Leigh smiled to herself as she turned to check on the eggs. "I suppose that wasn't the answer you were looking for." She said, turning her head back to the new girl. "Everyone here is the same. We're all stuck in this place. We're still trying to find a way out, but we're trying to enjoy this place as much as we can. You want some eggs?" She politely asked the girl.

So she isn't the only one? That's odd. She gladly accepted the eggs and thanked the girl. "So what is your name? And how did I get here? I find it very odd that I don't remember anything." she shoveled down some eggs not realizing how hungry she was. She noticed a container on the table slightly open. She looked inside and found five keys. "what are these for?"

Leighla answered the girl while stil cooking more of the eggs.
"My name's Leighla, you can call me Leigh. Nobody knows how they get here. It seems as if everybody just randomly wakes up in one of the rooms here. It just happens. Who knows if we're kidnapped, or if this is a test, or if we're even alive?"

Leigh started to put some of the finished eggs on plates, and was about to get more eggs, when suddenly the girl asked, "what are these for?"
Leigh was confused when she saw the silver box on the table. The last time she saw it, the box was in the lounge. "Where did you get that box?" she asked curiously.

Allison looked up confused. "What do you mean? The box was right here." She pointed to the table, and looked down but the box was gone. She looked around and ducked her head under the table. "It was here, just a minute ago." She frowned. That's illogical. The box was there a minute ago, and it couldn't have been moved without making noise. Besides, she would have heard if someone came in. She looked around frustrated. This defies logic! All of it does. "I don't know where it went." She crossed her arms. This didn't make sense. "What was the box for, anyway?" she finished her plate of eggs and washed it off in the sink. She sat back down at the table, still puzzling over the strange box.

"Yeah Leigh Rae, what's the box for?" a small boy said from across the room. He was holding the silver box inbetween his arms.
"Kyle, I told you not to touch that!" Leigh shouted, gritting her teeth.
"Well how else am i supposed to know what you're hiding in here unless i know what's inside? You can't keep secrets FOREVER, Rae."
Trying to ignore him, Leigh turned around. "First of all, stop calling me by my middle name, Kyle. Second of all, I don't want anyone to touch that because i don't want anyone else to be depressed around here. I thought it would be best if i put those damn keys somewhere where nobody could see them, that way nobody could...i don't know....obsess over them? You'll understand when you're older, Kyle."

Leigh was done cooking the eggs and headed into the pantry to get some coffee. Meanwhile, Kyle took a seat next to Allison.
"So, I guess you're probably wondering what those keys are for...I'll tell ya. Leigh's been able to figure out that every three days, a new key appears by the old door to this house. None of them have opened the door, but they just keep appearing for some reason. I mean, if you think about it, it's really strange. I mean, if a person's placing them in here, there must be a reason why, right? I don't know....it's really weird. But then again....it's really cool at the same time. My name's Kyle by the way. Pleased to meetcha."

Kyle extended his hand towards Allison as he made a half smile.

She gaped at Kyle. Was this a freak show? Could people just magically slip into a room and take a box in a matter of seconds? The physics and logical explanations were to confusing to understand, and it would practically defy the law of gravity. See, if an average human could travel at a speed of about 6 mph when running, that would....She stopped. Smart vomit. That is what she called it whenever she tried to explain things in her head with a bunch of "Smart" words and explanations. she would ramble on forever in her mind, just spewing random stuff. Yep, smart vomit. She processed what Leigh said and thought it over. To place a key inside the house would mean there is a way out, it's just locked. Unless there was somebody on the inside placing them there. "How many people are in this house, and what is the time frame between each arrival of a new kid?" she asked. If she new, she could calculate the attributes of the person behind it all, because he must have to carry the people in somehow, and if mass is factored in, she could..... Smart vomit. She paused. what she really needed to know was how this mysterious person was getting in and out of the house. She suspected the front door, but wouldn't carrying somebody into a bedroom make to much noise and wake somebody. She suddenly realized Kyle was holding out his hand. She shook it. everything was illogical.

Kyle

"no, we never hear anything in the night." Kyle replied to the girl's question.
Just then, another girl walked into the kitchen and pulled up a chair.
"do you mind if I bring those keys?" the inquisitive girl asked.
"Don't ask me, ask Leigh. She's the one in charge of em. Why whaddaya want em fo..."
The man's words cut off Kyle's sentence. The girl who had just sat at the table, and when she revealed that her name was Ari, Kyle said,
"Ohhhhh, your name's ARI. I thought your name was ALI."

Leighla

With a coffee mug in her hand, Leigh walked back in right when the new man entered. Leigh was going to explain the situation, but another girl sitting at the table had explained for her.
After Ari had explained and Kyle had said something, Leigh said to the man, "you can find bread in the pantry. It's right through that door." She said, pointing at the wooden door right next to her. Leigh then went to the table where Kyle, Ali, and Ari where sitting, and sat in the last chair.

Kyle

"SUCH INQUISITIVE PEOPLE!!!! GOD!!!" Kyle exclaimed. He went up to the countertop and grabbed a plate of eggs, without a fork or a knife.
"I'm eating in the lounge. I can't stand the questions. You nerds have fun." He said, moving quickly to the lounge.

Leigh
"I'm going to explore more later. Maybe there's a basement. Might find some tools there maybe, and maybe get the door off it's hinges, or something."
"Anyone find any keys? Or where there key's on the table when I first arrived? Oh, you are right this is a horror Ari, but still it's not so horrible now that I know I'm not alone here."
Leigh noticed that this guy was pretty talkative. "There are five keys that have appeared, but surprisingly, none of them fit the lock. They're right here in this box", Leigh said, pointing to the silver box in the middle of the table. She moved the box closer to her side of the table.
Suddenly, Leigh had an idea.
"Hey, Ari, you wanna give our guests here a little tour of the mansion?" She said, pointing her fingers at Ali and Rick.

"Why?" Ari asked quzzically, looking up from her notebook where she had been writing the new information about the keys. She could guess Leigh had a secret motive for trying to make them leave. She was trying to be casuall but it had a just given off "seceret motive" signals to Ari. Leight didnt want us around at the moment, Ari could tell. 'If you want to try and discover something show us too. If we want to get out of here we have to work together' Ari though silently.

"Why?"
Ari seemed to be awfully confused by Leigh's question.
"I don't know. Just show 'em around. Maybe if we take a closer look at this place, then maybe we'll find something. I don't know, it's just a thought."
Leigh said, taking a sip from her coffee.

Allison snatched the box of keys from the table. "I'm going to see what these keys actually unlock." She turned to the two newcomers. "I'm Allison. Some people call me Ali, some people call me Alice, one time somebody even called me son. Call me what you want." She smiled and headed out the door. The first room she went to was the lounge. She inspected the area, books, music, an old record player, etc. She looked in cabinets and drawers. She came upon a locked box. Curious. She picked the box up and jammed the first key in, to no avail. She inspected the keys, and the hole, and decided on a small silver key. She pushed it in and turned. The box popped open and twinkly music played, as a ballerina danced in circles. She sighed. Just a music box. Nevertheless, she brought the box and the key back to the kitchen.

She set the small gold key and the box on the counter. "I figured out what one opened. They aren't completely useless. Do you guys want to split up the keys and figure out what the rest open?" She grabbed a grey old fashioned rusty key. She held out the other three keys to the rest off them.

"Ok..." Ari said getting up from her chair and grabbing a bannah from the kitchen. She descided to just go along with this. Ari didnt think she was very qualified to be a tour guide though, for she had only just arived yesterday, but she could explore while they all went around together with her. "Come on guys" she said walking out of the kitchen into the hall.

This was a new day.
Actually your second day, here .
Eric had decided to look around today, after all. He figured out that this is some kind of mansion yesterday, as he had came here somewhere around the avo yesterday.
Well, surpriseingly enough, Eric had actually had a great sleep. Better than that of the days when I do training.
Shoot! My footy game. It's tonight! I've gotta get outta here before then! Training, I missed. Wait, did I?
Eric couldn't remember a damn thing since going to training and coming here sometime yesterday. I wonder...what time it is. Well besides if I saw the time, I probably couldn't read it.
Knowing what girls in the cheerleader team Eric was dating, he said he was gonna take her on a date today! Of all the things he'd plan nothing ever friggen' goes right.

Eric pulled away the bed covers. A mirror was placed just above Eric's bed. Eric's hair looked like a wreck, he tried to comb it while thinking.
"I'm a footballer-who would try to kidnap a hot looking footballer!?" he asked himself in the mirror.
Eric tossed his football at the mirror forcefully-see if he still got it and out of anger. It broke smashing into a million pieces. Shards going everywhere and the mirror frame snapping in half.

Eric looked through all the draws. He had to get out of here- I think there's room service in these places, so I didn't pick up the glass. Eric found a few objects. One was a book.
"Tee he hang hang hanger gam game games!" Eric read aloud, ok so I couldn't read ok?!
There was also one of those things they use to find where to go (compass) and a torch.

It was a little dark, Eric looked to see if there was light coming from the window, this just gets better and better! No window.

Eric had to find some exit out of this place, so he turned on the torch and led his way to a kitchen. A group of people stood around.
"Hey, babe." he said flurtatiously to one of the hot girls in the room (Leigh). "Know where we are?"

Ari had walked into the ballroom, giving herself a tour since no one had followed her. She looked around the wide open room. She hadent seen this room before. Or the piano. A smile lit up Ari's face seeing it. She loved playing the piano. She sat down on the bench and pulled up her sleves. She looked at the sheet music placed on the piano. 'Mysterious Nights' was the title of the piece. Ari smiled again 'sounds nice' she though. She started playing the song and it drifted around throughout the mansion, reaching everyone's ears.

Leigh

Leigh was a little annoyed that Allison had taken the box of keys, but Leigh calmed down a little when she found out that one of the keys opened the music box.
Instead of searching around the house like everyone else, Leigh decided to explore the contents of the music box.
She started to look, until she heard another new voice.

"Hey, babe." he said flirtatiously, "Know where we are?" Leigh honestly didn't feel like talking to him. It seemed as though she could learn all of his personality just by looking at his eyes. Allison came to the rescue and started talking to him, giving Leigh more time to look at the box.
Then, Leigh could hear piano music from the ballroom. The blonde haired boy started to walk away, reminding Leigh that every primitive thing is attracted to music, just then, Leigh could see it; an inscription on the inside of the box.

It said,

"Everything isn't what it seems. Don't jump so quickly to conclusions; you just might be wrong."

"Allison, come over here. I found something on the inside", Leigh said.

Allison walked over to Leigh, curious as to what she found, and also trying to avoid the new guy, who was clearly a flirt. She had thought that the key, only unlocking a music box was a little strange, and clearly here was the answer.

"Everything isn't what it seems. Don't jump so quickly to conclusions; you just might be wrong."

The words entered her mind and seemed to take up every nook and cranny in her brain. She repeated them in her mind. That could mean a lot of things. "That could mean that there really is something, we just thing that there isn't. So, there really could be another door in this place, a window, a key that actually opens the door, or something of that sort, but we just assumed that there wasn't because that is what it seems like. Curious. Now I really want to see what the other keys unlock." She grabbed two off the counter, leaving two for Leigh.

Leigh grabbed the two keys, and put the music box back down on the table.
"Leigh Rae, come here, i found something!" she could hear Kyle's voice from across the room. Leigh walked up to him, and he said,
"To the lounge! ONWARD!!"
Kyle and Leigh walked quickly to the small room. Even though the lights were off, Leigh could see Kyle's breakfast on the table.
Leigh flipped the first switch, which was broken, (a habit that Leigh could not get rid of) then flipped the second switch, and all the lights turned on.
"i found a book on that bookcase that i think you should see. It's got important stuff in it", Kyle said. He grabbed a yellow book that was next to his plate of eggs, flipped the pages a bit, then came to a page in the middle of the book.
"It's another one of those history books of the mansion. I found this interesting passage" Kyle said, pointing to the passage with his finger. Leigh took the book and read it aloud.

"The entire family of the Moretza Mansion was supposedly killed in a heist on september 23rd, 1929, when burglars appeared in the house, stealing valuables. Apparently, Robert Moretza awoke to the sound of the burglars walking through the hallways, and before he could talk to them, he was shot in the chest by a firearm one of the thieves was carrying. The family awoke to the sound, and all four family members were killed. The bodies were never found, but a note was left on the front door, explaining the whole situation...."

Leigh closed the book, and looked down at Kyle. "That's interesting. But how does it have to do with getting out of the mansion?"
Leigh asked Kyle. Kyle gave a half smile and said, "well, i thought that MAYBE the reason we are trapped in this mansion is because....maybe the family never moved on.....and maybe they are ghosts trying to get revenge!"
"What?! Kyle, that's crazy!" Leigh exclaimed.

Allison folded her arms, clearly not amused. "There is no such thing as 'ghosts' multiple tests have proved it, and any stories that disprove this is a hoax. And anyway, how could ghosts create rooms with no windows, or have there be only one door?" A thought occurred to her. "Unless there really is doors and windows. And we are just assuming that there isn't." She frowned and puzzled it over for a second, twiddling the two keys between her fingers. "Either way, we really need to figure out what these open. It could be they key to everything!"
