THE HEELS OF her boots clack a little too loudly on the stone steps up to the massive house. cursing under her breath, she opts for trekking up the dirt for fear of disturbing the midnight silence. against her hip, she feels the weight of her bag, filled with stakes, crosses, and holy water. sure, she’s only really looking for evidence, but she decided to come prepared in the event she encounters mrs. bates. noticing a cracked window on the side of the house, buffy carefully opens it fully and swings herself inside the living room.
the house from the inside gives her major creeps. even in the dark, it seems as though the decor hadn’t been changed in almost a century. she proceeds down a hallway, and as she starts to wonder how one guy could own SO many persian rugs, she steps on a piece of exposed hardwood. the wood floor moans audibly under her weight. panicked, she scurries quietly into a nearby bathroom and steps to hide inside the shower. hearing faint sounds from upstairs, she quietly moves the shower curtain to cover her and crouches behind it.
