The night fell on quickly over Dark Lake Manor. Wind was coming up and the snow had returned for another night. A strange kind of silence lingered inside of the mansion as the four inhabitants took their seats in the cosy bower. Sipping on glasses of red wine Charlotte Miro, Anna Baranius and their guests Damon Rodriguez and Theodor Ferrigno sat besides each other on the vast settee in front of the black marble chimney.

Anna felt a strange kind of discomfort. She wrapped herself up in several layers of blankets, but though a feeling of cold remained in her bones and it made her shiver from time to time. Lyo's presence made her feel a lot better, but she also recognized that he himself seemed to endure some gloomy moments. As she asked him, he grinned, showing his beautiful Lyo grinning and told her about the meeting with Johann.

"Johann's sense for horses was always legendary. Even the boss himself follows his advices usually." Charly explained, swinging her tea cup around dangerously. Lyo and Damon shared concerned glances, Damon started to speak, but Lyo hissed that he should be silent and insisted that Charlotte should tell them something about the ghosts at DLS.

"Oh there are plenty of them here. It's quite normal to meet them now and then. Johann is the most active and talkative of them. He was the stable man in the 1950ies. He must have died on New Years Eve, we don't know exactly, because he appeared for work on the next morning and the other staff dealt with him as usual, they just wondered why he didn't tack the horses up. One day someone from the village told that he was dead..." Charlotte laughed and smiled to Damon (she had some Rum in her tea, so she was getting a little flirty slowly).

Anna looked confused and shivered again.
"What about the others, who was the one that was walking around in the upper corridor?"
Charlotte shrugged. "There are several ghosts who walk around there. But they weren't seen for a long time, they usually vanish some day. Johann is the most active, because he is the ghost that died most recently... Well that's my personal theory. I believe we wouldn't even notice if the Boss would die some day. IF SOMEONE had the potential to become a ghost, it is his soul" She giggled a bit and it sounded a little devillish. Anna rolled her eyes and smiled to Lyo, who turned pale suddenly. He grabbed his glas of wine and took a deep belt. Damon seemed to cling to his bottle.

"You know... the great grandmother of our boss wrote a little book about all the ghosts that existed here in 1890. It was very en vouge to deal with spirits at that time. She hired a medium, who contacted most of them. I believe that book is somewhere in the library or in the archive..." Charlotte grinned cynically. "but you can also ask her yourself, she sits in the Dames Room sometimes writing in her book..."


Sorry folks this story is a little lame -.- it's late and I need sleep. I hope I can finish the pictures of the outside of DLS and of the rooms of Anna, Charotte and of the guest room for Damon and Lyo.
