| Sassenach | RAVENPUFF | Sing me a song of a lass that is gone | bookDRAGON | #awkwardturtle<# Art had been busy walking around the area, feeling quite nostalgic as he smelled the cooking cabbage in the cauldrons. It reminded him of home. Everyone seemed to be doing such a good job, at least those who were cooking. They weren't overly difficult recipes, but they still helped with skills they used in potions.
Once Kay's voice spoke about the hour being back, Art found his attention shifting back to the present. Art followed her lead and grabbed a plate, filling it with the stew and some damper. He went to sit on the opposite side of the circle to Kay, to allow the students to fill out in between them.
Once he was half way through his food, he cleared his throat and held a flashlight under his chin. The result was quite frightening on the old man. He started speaking one of the scary stories he had heard from his children's friends once when they went camping... SPOILER!!: Hide and Seek
Two young brothers were at home alone in the apartment while their parents visited their neighbours next door for a while.
“Be good boys,” their parents said.
To keep themselves occupied the boys decided to play a game of hide and seek. The older boy turned his head to the wall and began to count. He could hear his little brother’s feet as he scampered about looking for a place to hide.
“Ready or not I’m coming,” cried the older brother and off he went looking for his brother. He looked in all the usual places, behind the sofa, in the bathroom behind the shower curtain, behind the curtains in every room, and under all the beds, but he couldn’t find him. The apartment was eerily silent.
Then he heard a scraping sound coming from the wardrobe. The boy was sure he’d already looked there, but he went anyway and called out, “Come out I’ve found you!” but there was only silence.
Again he called for his brother to come out and again nothing. Opening the door, the boy tried to peer behind the wall of dresses and coats hanging there. He bent down, but he did not see any feet standing there. He began to rise up and put his hand out into the mass of clothing to feel for his little brother when a small, white, icy cold hand came out, grabbed his wrist, and tried to pull him into the closet.
As he is trying to pull himself free, he hears a noise behind him, looks over his shoulder, and sees his brother behind him. “Couldn’t you find me?” asks the boy.
The older brother screams in fright and desperately tries to free himself from the grip of the hand, all the while being pulled into the wardrobe. The younger brother grabs him and together they manage to pull free. They both run screaming from the apartment.
Nobody knows what would have happened if the hand had managed to pull him in. Do you!
OOC: Feel free to say a scary story if you want! Keep them all SS appropriate
