  ♪♫♬♫♬♫♪♫♬♪♪♫♬~

The sound of a soft faded music was keeping up the Blond teen. He was resisting the argue to go downstairs to see who's playing the music but also he couldn't because he was currently being squished by Ana's hand and Gabriel's leg.

More than one time Jack would hear the piano playing randomly in the middle of the night, the problem is no one plays it, not Ana, not Gabriel not even himself. The piano was brought in as a gift from his favorite teacher, Reinhardt and after that he died in an accident.

Of course Ana took 2 years to get over him, actually a lot of them were sad, after all he was one of the teachers at their high-school. Him and Jack were like the best of friends even though he was his teacher.

"Jack...what's bothering you?"Ana hazily rubbed her eyes to look in her friend's direction.

He took a while to answer, especially when the notes of the piano went low.

"Are you hearing it too?"Jack stayed silent for Ana to hear the same thing he was hearing.

Her brows knitted, puzzled of what Jack was saying."Is there a thief?"

"Doubt there would be a thief playing the piano every night around this time ; do you think it's a thief now?"The blond ran his fingers through his hair in stress.

Ana let out a quick yawn before continuing."Maybe we should let the scary one here check it out."She nudged Gabriel's arm, earning a snarl from him.

"You're not scared?"

The music stopped as if it was waiting for Ana's response.

"Possibly."

Gabriel sat up, glaring."What are you fuckers up to?"

They chuckled a bit seeing the grumpy Gabe."Don't worry i'm not stealing Jackie away from you."Ana teased.

Jack's face turned red while Gabriel punched Ana's arm softly.

"Let's go back to sleep."The Egyptian smiled slightly, comforting jack.

They went back to sleep till the next day.

It was a weekday and they had school that starts around 6:00 A.M. The three got up and got ready for the next fresh day, they all got dressed and headed out the door to walk to their highschool.

Ana and Gabriel were very close with Jack, they all met back in Elementary and every since then they did everything together. Their parents didn't mind them sleeping over, even though Ana was a girl and the other two were boys. They trusted them dearly.

"Fuck i forgot to do Dr. Winston's Homework. Did anyone do it?"Gabriel looked over his locker to his friends.

"I did Ms. Orisa's homework."Jack got out couple of paper from his locker.

"Did both but not giving you mine slackers."Ana smirked and closed her locker.

"Pleaseeeee!!"Both of them pleaded with puppy eyes.

Ana gave in easily for that."Fine. This is the last time though."

• • • •

Dr. Winston's class was the usual for the students, nothing new except for the new homework they were assigned. Gabriel was complaining and of course no one listened to him.

It was around 12 when it was lunch time for the seniors, some go out to get their food and some buy from the cafeteria itself."Angela would you like to sit with us?"Jack tapped the Swiss blonde and invited her to their table.

"What is it?"Once she settled down on the table, Jack shuffled his legs nervously.

"..Remember when your uncle brought me that Piano?"He spoke and Angela nodded,"Well i hear it playing in the middle of the night...and None of us know how to play it...plus i know all of Gabriel's tricks and he's not that clever to pull off a scary playing piano at night."

'Hey!'

Angela brought her finger to her chin, humming in thought."Let me recall back to your birthday, after that day my Uncle got hit by a truck and he died..That piano in your house..is basically useless. Right?"

"Don't listen to him Angie, he's going nuts."Ana chuckled to herself. Odd because Ana would start getting sad when she hears Reinhardt's name.

"You're denying the truth that you didn't hear it last night?"Jack rested his head on his palm.

"Did i?"She shrugged.

"What do you mean did i? You woke up and i asked you 'do you hear that piano'"The blond sat up straight, narrowing his eyes at Ana.

"And i said Possibly~ Oh i need to leave for my sniping club, cant be late."She threw her fresh new food in the garbage and left her tray on the table.

Gabriel stayed silent while Jack was still confused."That bitc- She heard it! I know she di-'

Angela stopped Jack,"Calm down, i believe you, that Piano has a backstory."

Gabriel started laughing quietly."Pianos don't have backs." / pun brought to you by edgelord/

"...Moving on, the Piano was in my old house and was played professionally by Amélie, you know the french girl? She's in our school."Angela's tone changed a little,"Amélie has never been the same after playing it, she use to have emotions, laugh, smile but now what is she? Just an emotionless girl."

Jack shifted closer to her."What about your dad? He doesn't know anything about it or?"

"Unfortunately, my dad and my Uncle Reinhardt weren't so close, he kinda took the piano from our house and kept at his for several years until he decided to pass it on to you as a birthday gift."She dipped her fork in her Mac-n-cheese.

"But the big question..who plays it at nigh-'

The bell rang, cutting Jack's sentence.

"I have to go..i promised to help Ms. Athena with stuff."She grabbed her bag and left the food on the table.

"That's what you get for watching Supernatural."Gabriel stuck his tongue out.

• • • • • • • • •

But Jack didn't stop there, maybe someone else can help him with stuff like that. A smart student who knows everything about the universe itself."A piano playing at night? I have read a book about that."

"Yeah..it creeps me out, is there like a ghost haunting my house?"Jack leaned his weight on the shelf and sighed.

"Do you maybe know the tune of the music?"Zenyatta, a student who mostly spends his time in the library, questioned.

Jack shook his head in a short reply.

"Does it sound sad or happy?"He asked again.

"It sounds..more painful..More of an expressive sound like sadness."The blond described shortly.

Zenyatta nodded his head and walked back to the fiction shelf."I do know a few stories about a piano playing mysteriously in the night ; perhaps you feel stressed and so your mind tricks you into hearing sad music."

He looked away and then back."Tell me about the stories please."

"I do not think it would be a good idea to tell you about the stories..they're very..difficult to understand."He placed back the book he was holding right where it belonged.

"Doesn't matter, explain please."Jack said impatiently.

"ZENNY!"

The two were startled by Genji who ran up to them,"oh am i disturbing anything right now?"

"No, not at all."Zenyatta smiled.

"Alright..i have to go now.."Jack left them and decided to go on.

For some reason he gets cut off by someone or something.

♪♫♪♫~

Jack kept his eyes wide awake to the music. His insomnia gotten worse ever since and his paranoia started eating him alive.

"Do it...No one will be there..."He forced himself up as he exited his room leaving Gabe and Ana sleeping. His steps on the stairs were careful so was his breath. The tuning was getting louder each time Jack neared the last step, it was giving him anxiety.

"You're not...scared.."He bit his lip and that was the mistake, in a split second he felt himself tripping on one of the steps which led him to hit first on his arm making a bone pop then on his face and that led to his lip bleeding with no stop. He was inches away from breaking his arm away as he managed to get a grip on one of the stair's handle.

"Shit..."He licked his lips only to taste his own blood and it tasted like metal. His arm was starting to show a purple mixed with a blue color, taking some of his pale skin. He was lucky enough to survive that.

He slowly slid himself till the last stair step, it was painful but he was scared to walk it down and his leg was aching.

Jack held on the wall for support and luckily his right arm was enough to keep him going. The piano was in the living room that's only used for special guests, the last special guest came three months ago. It was kind of an isolated room.

"Who are you....."The blond rested himself on the door's frame, his gaze catching up on half of the dark colored hair that was sticking out behind the big piano.

The tune did not stop however it started playing random notes releasing a painful sound to the ears. It was playing high notes mostly, making it sound like someone screaming.

Jack didn't know what to do at first, the first thing that came to his mind was scream his friend's names for help."STOP!ANA! GABRIE- GABE!"He called out loud enough to wake the snoring two. The lights of the house turned on and both of them came rushing down to see Jack on the floor, attempting to cover his ears.

"What happened??"Gabriel kneeled down with panic, quickly reacting to everything,"who did this!!?"He carefully brought Jack to his chest and hugged him closely.

Gabriel didn't notice the bruises or the blood not until he looked at Jack's face."Who did this to you!!??"

Ana covered her mouth and brought her phone out."Don't!...i heard it...i fell off the stairs...i heard the piano playing...i saw someone's hair..my house is not safe.."Jack rubbed his mouth with his right hand.

"You're hallucinating, no one plays the piano...not even your close neighbors."Ana pointed out, crouching to take a better look at Jack's face.

And it got silent from there..silent to Ana and Gabriel but not to Jack, he was hearing the piano playing even though it was right in front of his face. Since he was still in Gabriel's arms, he could see under the piano and he saw feet, he saw feet wearing heels.

"Do you guys...not hear it...or see it...?"

• - • - • - • - • - •

Jack insisted on going to school even with his bad bruises, he refused to stay at home with that Piano. Not alone at least.

"What happened to you Morrison?"Hana walked beside Jack, not leaving him one second.

He glanced at her quickly then back ahead."I..fell off the stairs."But he wasn't really paying attention to Hana now, when he saw Angela, he wanted to run up to her but she avoided him and went in the class immediately.

"Wai...t..."

Why did she avoid him? She did look a little troubled but did something happen? Jack only asked her about the piano yesterday and thats all.

"Is there something wrong?"

Jack didn't hear Hana saying anything, in fact he didn't hear anything other than the loud bell ringing.

And it stopped.

The bell stopped ringing and his breath hitched once he heard the sound of the piano playing again.

"Make it stop! Please!"The blond forgot that Hana was next to him, and thankfully she was a good person to help him to the nurse's office.

   • - • - •

"What is going on through your mind Jack?"

Jack sat on one of the clean bed in the nurse's office, looking pale as ever. The tip of his eye's were showing some small red veins hinting that he was tired and didn't get any sleep. His eye-bags were visible to all of the people who passed by him. He was truly a mess.

"Listen Zenyatta...i swear i'm hearing it! I'm not going mad! Im not!"Hiccuping, his words were cut off by his sudden burst of tears,"no one believes me..No one!"

Zenyatta settled his hand comfortably on Jack's shoulder."I,. I believe you Mr. Morrison. But, i'm not sure how to help. You should return the piano to it's right owner."

There was a choke then a sob."The piano was given to me by Mr. Reinhardt.."

Nothing. Nothing really was said after that.

But in that uncomfortable silence Jack remembered that someone had to do with the piano. Amélie. Angela did mention she changed after playing it.

He stared aimlessly on the wall then he got up ready to leave the nurse's office.

"Are you sure you're ready to leave?"The tanned skin teen tilted his head in concern.

"Yea.."

Soon, he left to Ms. Orisa's class which was a few steps away from the nurse's office. He knew Amélie mostly stays there for the ballet dance club.

As he entered the classroom, Jack caught a glimpse of The French girl. She was sitting alone on the back desk.

This could be a lil awkward since both of them don't really talk.

"Amélie...?"

Turning around. Amélie rose a brow as a 'yes'

"I was going to question you about the piano, ya know, the one that belonged to Ang-'

"Don't talk about that thing! You must throw it away! No, i thought they got rid of it- no no please don't ask me about it..i don't want to remember.."It was a matter of seconds when Amélie switched from being calm and collected to getting scared and nervous.

"i...thanks..."

'What did i bring into my house..'Jack thought before exiting the classroom.

'♫♪♬♬♬♫♫♪♫♬♫♬'

There it is again. Blue eyes stared up at the ceiling, fighting back the temptation of going downstairs to see who was doing it. But he could fall again and break his neck.

"Jack...go to sleep.."Ana muffled before quickly going back to sleep.

But he didn't listen. Yet again his striking thoughts were bothering him as to who would be playing that sweet music. Of that corrupted music?

The Blond stood up using the help of his hands along with his tippy toes to escape without a single noise. While leaving the room, the music switched to a rather calmer tune. Giving Jack the shivers.

"Alright..calm down! You need to be more careful...be brave.."Carefully, Jack adjusted every single step, not missing a space between his foot and the wood.

At this point anything could make him flinch, even a small scream.

Finally, the last step and Jack was alright. Not an injury to add to the others.

"Who are you?"

His voice reached over to the person behind the big piano. He was sure someone was there from the legs he could see under,"What's the purpose of this?"

The music stopped but the last note was extended a bit. It made it more creepy now.

"You could be sleeping peacefully right now but what are you doing?Getting anxious over a piano. You should be thanking me for this."

It was a mix of a female voice and a male's voice. Confusing to the blond.

"Yeah, let a fucking piano play in the middle of the night is the big stress reliever."Jack added with sarcasm.

That got a chuckle from the other person."Why don't you get rid of this then?~"

Jack took in a deep breath then exhaled it out."Maybe i should..tomorrow ill be calling a truck..you'll be gone with this.. i don't need demons in my house."

"We'll see about that.."

Jack sighed and took couple of steps forward."Who are you?"

The person started to play the piano."Do not get too close..you'll regret it."

And he surely did. Once he got closer, something tugged his leg backwards making him stumble into the small table behind him. The worst part is the table had a glass vase on it, and it would shatter easily.

'Shit-!'The blond really thought he was going to die. His whole body was getting cut by the small glass shatters, each and every single one of them making a mark.

"Jack??"

His vision didn't get to make it. Didn't get to see Ana and Gabriel fanning over him with panic. He was surely dead..

• • • •

Blink. Blink. Jack woke up to see a whole different room with a fresh smell. He looked around him and noticed it wasn't his room but rather a hospital room.

"Glad you're awake. You almost died last night."He moved his head to see Ana at his right.

"Don't worry the piano is getting taken away. No more worries.."And to his left, Gabriel was there.

Jack felt himself relax for a moment. That piano was cursed and whoever he talked to yesterday was possessing it.

But..

His body became tense as he heard something familiar. Music..

"...It's here..."

Jack looked up in horror at the door. In the small crack he saw purple hair flashing by quickly then he heard the same music from yesterday.

"Why.."
