The trip was a dream come true for Elizabeth, she was in a large old mansion in Scotland, the locals warned her that it was haunted but she did not bother with it. There was a chill in the autumn air and she felt like there had never been a more calming place.

Her first day passed by quickly in the mansion, soon it was nighttime. She had turned off the light and left the door of her room ajar and sat on her bed contemplating what the locals told her and if it were true. Then she saw a figure move past her door slowly as if walking.

She got up from bed and walked towards the hooded figure and made sure to be quiet. She moved silently following the hooded figure with a candle lit-up on a candle stand in her hand.

The hooded figure grabbed her hand when she approached it, when it did she felt a cold sensation and a shiver went down her spine.

Then it spoke.

'Who are you? and why are you here? did you not know this place is haunted and dangerous.' Said the figure in a deep yet soft voice.

'My name is Elizabeth Baun and I am here on a holiday, I was told this place was haunted but I didn't think it was dangerous.' she replied.

'Come with me.' Replied the hooded figure.

The hooded figure touched her hand and she felt a cold sensation going down her spine. She looked down at her feet and saw right through them, when she turned back she saw her body laying on the floor.

The hooded figure drew a circle in the air with its finger and the circle began to glow for a minute or two before the entire circle turned into a luminous light blue.

They stepped into the circle and she lost her senses and track of time. When she regained he senses she felt soft grass touching he bare feet, she looked up and saw the same mansion , then she turned around and saw that the portal had closed.

She realised she had travelled back in time because she saw a group of travellers enter into the same mansion and she was aware of this.

The travelers touched the mansion door and the door creaked open and they cautiously entered. The leader positioned himself in the middle of the room and began to give instructions.

'Alright everyone, settle down, we are going to stay here for a night, so everyone get a room to sleep in said the leader.'

All the travelers picked their rooms. They unpacked and washed up and got ready for dinner. After dinner they all went to their rooms and got in bed . It was midnight when they heard loud drumming noises and the roar of a lion.

The lights of every room started to turn on very dimly and all the travelers started whispering to each other.

'Are we going to make it out of here alive?' asked one.

'What's happening?' asked the other.

The next morning they came out of their rooms and took breakfast cautiously looking around, in silence until one of them broke the silence by asking what their next move was.

'Well , we are going to pack up after this and head out, remember we have to get to the City of water by nightfall.' said the leader.

After breakfast they all went to their rooms and packed their bags, by the time they came out of their rooms at miday the drumming noises started and a scuffle began.

Amidst the scuffle one of them Sam went around the rooms bolting the doors from the outside screaming to the others , to lock their doors from the inside as well. They do as she says since for the doors to be locked completely, it had to be locked from both the inside and outside.

Once the door was securely shut they all began to open their trap doors which were in every room and began to gather their possessions and scramble down the flight of stairs that lead to the exit under the trap doors.

They all escaped , all but one.

Sam could not escape as she was the one screaming and bolting others doors and she did not have time to bolt hers. So she gathered her scattered possessions and made it to her room and bolted her door from the inside but in order for it to be locked it had to be bolted from both inside and outside.

She bolted her doors from the inside once she got to her room. She opened her trap door and stepped in and began running down its steps with her belongings towards the next door which let outside of the mansion. In the middle of her running, she dropped a few things which were essential to her and she went back up to go pick it but she ran out of time.

As she bended over to pick it the main door of he room opened and she could hear the owner and her lion's growls become ever so near when she picked he belongings and was about to turn the trap door flung open and she turned around and saw the lions face and a hooded figure stroking the lion gently. She fell onto the step she was on and cowered.

"Any last words?" Asked the figure in a creepy tone

Sam just shook her head.

"Bon appetite mi amor. " she spoke to her lion signaling to him to drag Sam off to eat her.

Elizabeth stood in horror at that point

"Don't worry, they can't see us were in the past as spirits , but we need to get back so that you don't get eaten. Every now and then the creepy lady feeds thos who enter her mansion to her pet lion. So we have to get u out as soon as possible." Said her hooded guide

"And who are you? If I may ask." Elizabeth asked

"Ah a very curious soul, I see. I am one of the people the lion has eaten before Sam came. Sam can be seen like me but its just that you came across me and not her." Her hooded guide responded.

"And why didn't you warn them , this group we just saw?" Elizabeth asked.

"Ah my dear, I came before them and tried to warn them but no one took notice except Sam, but even then she heeded my warnings last minute, therfore the bolting and rushing. I only spoke to her at one point in their two day stay." Her hooded guide responded

"Now come were getting late." he said

With his finger he drew a circle and it glowed blue and they stepped in and they were back in the future. And her soul which was in spirit form was back in her body and she slowly realised she was back in the future and got up and felt for her hands

At that same time the same drums began beating again and she hears the cage lift and heavy footsteps aproaching.
