Diamond Blue

Introduction

    Diamond lay in the shadows, on her belly, camera pointed at the house in front of her. The house was huge, ominous, ancient and victorian. She had just gotten past the black wrought iron fences. The thunder boomed and she jumped to her knees. The storm furthur increased her anxiety about photographing the house. Her dad, a real estate agent was too scared to do it himself, so he sent her to do it, on the most stormy night of the month. Diamond's blue black hair was plastered to her head by rain, and her black t-shirt and dark blue skinny jeans were soaked. Her ghostly teal eyes portrayed fear. Many rumors surrounded the old house. Tales of werewolves, vampires, ghosts, demons. Some of a young male living in the house still, locked in the highest room.

    Diamond shuddered just thinking about the stories, then laughed at herself. She had never been afraid of the supernatural, why should she start being afraid now. A large lightning bolt lit up the sky, causing her to see a pale face at the uppermost window. The wan smiled dropped off of her face as she saw the outline. The person looked lonely and helpless, but at the same time, intimidating. She stood up and walked towards the house. She pulled at the burnished bronze door handles, but the door didn't open. She the grabbed a hold of the bronze ring that hung from the bronze lion head knockers. She tapped it against the door and it let out a mournful, hollow, thunderous noise. Diamond winced as the door slowly creaked open.......

Chapter One:

    Diamond walked in cautiously, her hand lightly resting on the doorframe. There was a faint sobbing noise, and there was a candleabra, sitting lit on a mahogany table near the door. The house was large, but beginning to mould and look not very impressive. The only stuff that still seemed intact was all the furniture, which was odd. Diamond thought nothing of it as she walked slowly, the floorboards creaking beneath her feet, her light steps making no sound but that of the floor. She noticed a flight of stairs, rotting but it seemed as though it would hold her weight. Her brow furrowed in indecision. 

"Well, I suppose I'll have to take the stairs" Diamond stated, the dislike heavy in her voice. She started towards the stairs, and as soon as her foot settled on the stair and her other foot moved to do the same, the rotted wood gave way. Diamond fell, her right leg trapped in a large hole. She could feel warm blood trickling down her leg, but she couldn't see how bad the wound was.

"Wonderful!" She shouted, sarcasm lacing her voice. Suddenly a ghostly apparation approached her, a tall, slim male with tousled black hair and deep brown eyes. "Having a problems miss?" The male asked with a gentle voice. Sure, Diamond was in a creepy house with a random male approaching her, but she wasn't scared really. "Yes I need help, my leg is stuck in a damn stair, do I look like I need help" She yelled at him. The male looked amused and walked up to the staircase. He pulled some of the boards away from Diamonds leg and pulled her backwards, freeing her. All was fine and dandy until the male caught sight of the blood.
