( oritigo na ilo & Kittycat19) A Haunted House

[Kittycat19]

Autumn whose long hair was a dark brown with streaks of brownish orange and black. Her fur on her cat ears and tail were those colors as well as white. She has pale skin and bright green eyes. She is rather short standing at about 5'2".

Her occupation is that of an olden day Priestess. She had worked in shrines until one day about 100 years ago she was sent to a haunted castle in a forest to exorcise the spirits that were haunting the castle. This made them angry.

At the time she had entered the castle was beautiful and it still is. On the outside it has an inviting garden surrounding it that never grows weeds. The inside is just as beautiful as outside. That is until nighttime when the spirits come out.

Once inside the castle she became trapped inside by the spirits. Inside the castle time does not pass so she looks no older than when she entered. That is also why the castle itself does not grow old. When she entered she was 20 but that was around 100 years ago.

Autumn had wandered the castle for a long part of the time. She became tired and fell into an endless sleep. This angered the spirits even more. They haunt her even in her dreams. She is currently in a bedroom waiting to be woken up and saved from her endless nightmare.

Zarak stood at around six feet tall, with long, dark blonde hair, and hazel eyes. His features were well defined, having done some work to keep his body fit for his line of work. His shoulders were broad, but not overly so, clearly more accustomed to spellcasting and prayer than physical fighting, while his body remained toned, showing a familiarity with physical work.
He was 21 years old, and a priest at a church that had arisen after Autumn had vanished.
He had been assigned to exorcise the spirits haunting a local house, the same house Autumn had been sent to a century ago.
On this particular spring day, he wore a plain white robe, untouched by dirt or soil, the mark of his clergy, and one that would keep him at a comfortable temperature in natural weather.

His cloak fluttering in the breeze, Zarak walked up to the pristine gates of the castle, slowly pushing them open, more an act of preserving the site than fear.
He was accustomed to spirits and exorcisms, and he went into this believing it to be another routine exorcism. When he saw how everything was preserved, however, he could not help but shudder. It was like this place was frozen in time, unable to move forward. The air here felt somehow.... stale to him.

Regardless, he walked up to the front doors, still perfectly preserved, and pushed them open, walking inside ready to take on whatever was in his way.

Seeing that it was still daytime it was hard to tell that the castle was haunted unless it was your job too tell. The spirits aren't visible until nighttime. Nighttime is also the time the spirits come out to play. Once they came out it was easy to tell. Everything about the castle seems to change when the spirits come out at night.

Once Zarak enters the mansion Autumn awakes in her priestess outfit. The outfit consists of a large, dark red, long sleeved top and a pair of white pants. The legs on the pants were very airy as they were not constricting. Autumn was without a bra, panties or shoes as her village did not wear them back then.

Autumn moves to the edge of the white sheet covered bed. She stands up but because she was groggy she falls to the floor. She looks around the room while on the floor. "Owwww. That really hurt." She sits cross legged on the floor and waits for the grogginess to go away. As she sits on the floor the reason she was there started coming back to her.

She had arrived at the castle to exorcise the spirits that were haunting the nearby town. Her entering the castle was enough to make the spirits angry. Once she entered though the door locked behind her. Autumn was then trapped inside until someone else could save her. This had put her into a frantic and she looked through the house for what seemed like only a few days but was really years. The spirits control the time inside the house as they please. They can make a minute feel like days or the opposite, days feel like a minute.

Autumn doesn't realize that she had been in the castle as long as she had been. She only thought she had slept for a day from not getting any sleep for what she thought was a few days. She figures someone from her village has come to save her.
