Sophie and Sarah

"Sarah?" Sophie asked.

"Yes?" Sarah answered.

"Will you hold my hand?" Sophie pleaded.

"Ugh, fine," Sarah groaned.

They found each other in the dark, and held hands as they tried to find their way out.

"I really picked a dark place to hide huh," Sophie joked.

"Ghosts definitely won't find us here," Sarah followed, "But we need to find Ashley and Wendy though."

The sun was barely in sight at this point, and Sophie had dropped her flashlight when they ran. They navigated through the halls and rooms of the mansion purely using the light from Sarah's phone.

"Shit, my battery is low, did you bring your phone?" Sarah asked Sophie.

"I forgot it at work," Sophie said sheepishly,

"Of course you did," Sarah groaned, "That's on me for not reminding you at this point."

The two tried to look for clues as to where Ashley and Wendy could be. Or even clues on the whereabouts of Ashley's sister.

"What's that on the ground?" Sophie pointed to the floor.

They walked over and Sarah knelt down and user her finger to touch a puddle of thick, white translucent liquid on the ground. She lifted the bit of liquid on her finger to her nose and sniffed it. The smell was familiar, yet foreign.

"I can't tell what it is," Sarah said.

"Maybe if I taste it," Sophie said, scooping up a glob with her finger and putting it in her mouth.

"Sophie!" Sarah cried, "Don't just eat weird things off the ground!"

"Oops! Does the 5-second rule make it okay?" Sophie asked.

"That's... not what that means," Sarah sighed.

Sarah looked around the room to try and gather more clues, only to realize that there were bits of the same white liquid seemingly sprayed at random across the walls and furniture of the room. There were ripped pieces of black fabric all over the place as well. Sarah went around the room to examine one of the pieces of fabric.

"S.M.U.T." Sarah read aloud, "Smut? Like porn stories?"

"Madwell must be into some kinky stuff!" Sophie commented.

THUD

The two turned around upon hearing what sounded like an extremely heavy footstep.

"Uhhh what was that?" Sophie asked.

"No clue..." Sarah replied, worriedly.

THUD

"M-maybe we should turn back," Sarah suggested.

"G-good idea," Sophie replied.

Just then, Sarah's phone battery died, and the light went out.

"Uh oh," said Sarah.
