Whispers of the Haunted Mansion > #2

Sarah goes to Victor's house to seek his help in uncovering the secrets of Emily's mansion.
Sarah
Victor, I came to ask for your assistance. There's something strange going on in Emily's mansion.
Victor
Ah, Sarah. I've been expecting you. Come in, come in.
Victor leads Sarah into a dimly lit room filled with strange artifacts and books on dark magic.
Sarah
Wow, this place is fascinating! So, you really are a supernatural expert?
Victor
That, my dear Sarah, would be an understatement. I have knowledge far beyond what the average person comprehends.
Victor's eyes gleam with a hidden agenda as he begins to explain the dark secrets of the mansion.
Sarah
I knew there was something sinister about that place! What can we do to uncover the truth?
Victor
Only by performing a ritual can the secrets of the mansion be revealed. We must act quickly, before it's too late.
Sarah's curiosity gets the better of her as she agrees to participate in the ritual.
Sarah
Alright, Victor. Let's do it. I need to know what happened in that house.
*Creak*
As the ritual progresses, strange occurrences take place around them.
Sarah
What's happening?! Victor, did you plan this?!
Victor
You've served your purpose, Sarah. It's time for you to become a part of the house's dark history.
Sarah's screams echo through the mansion as she is consumed by dark magic.
Sarah
No... Victor... why?
