𝗜 𝗦𝗔𝗧 on my bed, next to a sleeping Gabriel. I had the laptop lying in the bed as I read an article. It was so important to me, but in the same time, I didn't want to wake Gabriel or anyone up. So I was as silent as possible.

The truth about Castle Manor.

I clicked on the article, and began reading it. Then wrote what I discovered in my notebook, which I later hid in the drawer.
. . .

"Hey, Steven, I'm going to meet Ramy and Mena. I think I'll be back at 2."

"Yeah, that's cool. Don't be too late though. I have to take your opinion with the others about the decorations we made."

"Okay. Bye."

So, Ramy and Mena were my co-stars in a series that we were about to start filming very soon. Ramy was the executive producer and he was taking our opinions about the plot and other things.

I had secretly taken the notebook with me, so Gabriel wouldn't read it and get anxious again. Or anyone for that matter.

Time passed quickly. I looked at the time on my phone's screen.
01:15 PM

"Guys, I think I should be going now. Steven would get really mad if I'm late."

"Okay, we need you tomorrow though."

"I'll see, thank you. Bye."

"Bye."

"Bye."

I walked out of the place confidently, then went to the nearest bus stop.

The whole time, I was repeating the article I read this morning in my head, trying to connect everything together so I can give myself chills when I go to sleep that night.

As soon as I arrived at the location, I saw my co-stars gathering around, talking as a way to waste time before going into the mansion.

The mansion was more glooming than usual. Like I would care. It was all part of my little 'research' anyway.

I walked towards them, and gave my boyfriend a reassuring hug. He wrapped his gentle arms around me, and as soon as we let go, he gave me a bright smile of his.

That's my boy.

A few moments later, Steven and Adam walked out of the building.
"Oh good, you're here. Let's go then."

We walked slowly across the lawn, towards the huge mansion. I talked to Beatrice about random topics -our favourite movies- so we can both become less nervous, as I could see she was just as nervous as me. Maybe more.

Gabriel was talking to Jaeden, Ty, Noah and Aidan as well. Glad to see he was doing alright.

We got closer with each step to the mansion, and I gulped, trying to reassure myself.

Imagine what would be like if you solved the mystery and they all saw you as the hero of the goddamned story.

Cool, right ?

In a few, long minutes, we were standing in front of the house. The next thing I heard was a loud creaking noise, and the gates swung open by themselves.

Here we go. I hope this goes well.
