Falling in the autumn leaves, meeting you underneath the crimson moon. A chance encounter, our two merging worlds. I wish I can take it back, to be there with you. If only I had the courage, then maybe our fates could have found us in a warm light.
A mistake from long ago, two souls once together. A voice sounding in the deepest abyss, wishing to grasp their heart's desire. Wandering for a long time, unable to find their light.
A dreadful melody in the dusk, a song pouring out the spirit's wish. A few in the woods underneath the moonlight, those laughing teenagers.
"Come on Sal, you can't be chickening out on us." A male teases.
"Hah? Me? You're the one who's constantly hiding Luke!" shaking her head in disbelief.
"You all can't think this is possibly real, right?" another male's hand behind his head.
"Of course not! There's no such thing as ghosts Armin." The second female giggles a bit.
Four friends in the night, hearing the rustling leaves around them. The cold breeze blowing against the few, their hasty hearts seeking mysterious thrills.
Making their way further, coming across a large old house. Hearing a melody in the place, a sad voice pouring out their soul.
"Who is that?" Armin folding his arms.
"I don't know, but she sounds so sad..." Sally sadly holding her hands to her chest.
"Let's try and find her, maybe we can help out." Luke's hand to his chin.
"Yeah...but isn't it weird for someone else to be out here at this time?" the second female's unrest.
"What? You scared Samantha?" Sally teasing them.
"Of course not!" yelling at her friend.
"Then let's head in." Luke's bright smile, heading forward.
"Am I the only one thinking this is a bad idea?" Armin uneasily following behind.

The laughing girls, soon running behind the rest. Feeling the heavy air on them, malice flowing in the area.
Shortly entering into the old house, looking at the poor condition around them. Pictures on the floor, chairs in pieces. Dust everywhere, holes in the ground and walls.
"Statistically, the reason teenagers die in horror movies, is because of dumb choices like this..." Armin quickly glancing from one end to the next.
"Can only be young once man, so might as well enjoy it!" Sally's happily motioning from left to right.
"It is like she said, gotta be adventurous." Luke grinning, folding his arms.
"Anyway, if that person is anywhere, we should find her. Let's split up for a bit." Samantha's hand to her chin.
"This is a bad idea and you know it..." Armin sighing in dismay, lowering himself.
A strange one in the dusk, hearing the person's beautiful melody. A song pulling at their hearts, most wishing to offer their aid. The few friends splitting up, scouring the wide house.
Sally making her way up the shaky stairs, soon moving down the unstable hallway. Eventually finding herself in a room, shining her flashlight into the place.
Steadily walking into the area, feeling a presence rushing behind her. Instantly turning, moving the light onto the figure. A pale woman in a white dress, their long black hair.
"Oh, you scared me there. Was that you singing?" Sally sighing in relief, her hand to her chest.
"Tell me, why was it a war had to happen? Why is there always a war?" her sad voice.
"I...don't know what you mean? Sure, there are wars elsewhere, but none here for quite a while." Her uncertain hand to her chest.
"If I had the courage, then maybe things could have been different..." The woman lowering her head.
"Hey now, let's leave here for now. You can tell us about what happened." Sally's sad vision.
"Leave? To go off into another one of those pointless wars?" their furious eyes on the girl.
"I...I didn't mean to upset you..."
Feeling the increasing cold in the area, the woman's flashing body. Sally alarmingly stepping away, shockingly covering her mouth. The spirit's red eyes, expanding their arms.
Slamming the door shut, the loud sound alerting the rest below. Hearing their friend's scream, immediately rushing to the direction. Shortly arriving at the door, banging on it.
"Sally!" Luke pounding on the door.
"Dammit! Let's ram the door!" Armin directing.
A soul seeking out one to their heart, unable to find peace in the passing years. Corrupting over time, wrapping others in her sorrow.
The distorting area, those friends looking, seeing monsters emerging from the shadows. The door slowly opening, seeing Sally in a bloody mess on the floor, their visions soon to the spirit floating above her.
"I will not make the same mistake again, I will erase all those in my path to him..." The woman's angry voice.
"Dammit! I knew this was a bad idea! Now what?!" Armin's great fear.
"I--I don't know!" tears in Samantha's eyes.
A soul displaying their fury, their anguish in this old house. Their extending influence, autumn leaves falling from above. Those monsters slowly approaching, trapping in the teenagers.
A dusk painting in red, screams sounding in the terrifying night. A bloody mess shortly everywhere, the woman floating above them.
I will find you, no matter how long it takes. These obstacles, they will not stop me...
