He continued walking around the first floor, he found himself in a spectacular kitchen, there was a dining table off to the opposite side. He noticed that a steamy bowl of soup was sat out, surely someone had to be in the house, if there was fresh food. He continued his search, calling out as he walked through. Kalec started to grow uneasy as he was continuously met with silence. He made his way back to the foyer, as he passed the stairs the laugh of what seemed to be a young child rang out. The hairs on his arm began to stand up. "H-hello?" he called out, his voice quivering. The laughter seemed to be coming from the upper floor, Kalec reluctantly began climbing the stairs, as he took his first step the laugh rang out again. ("This is it, I'm going to die") He thought to himself with each step.
Kalec started looking all around the second floor, but he couldn't find anyone. He entered the hallway where he first saw the shadowy figure, but it was empty. He searched both rooms that connected to the balcony, both rooms were empty. Kalec exited the bedroom, and heard a sound coming from the opposite hallway by the staircase. He quickly ran back to check, as he turned the corner he saw what looked like a smokey figure darting towards the stairs. He couldn't see exactly what the figure was, but it was low to ground. He got to the top of the staircase, but he didn't see the smokey mass anymore, then another chime of the child like laugh echo. The laugh was then followed up by another door slamming. he made his way down the stairs as fast as he could.
