Cole appears in the lighthouse with his gas mask on and checks the door to find it’s still chained shut. Cole walks up the stairs and looks out across the horizon. The sun is still out but it's cloudy.
"Good" Cole leaps off of the lighthouse and sprints towards the manor
He reaches the grass field at the back of the manor. He walks up to the manor and knocks somewhat angrily, his eyes still glowing pink.
A nonferal silver fox with orange eyes, a member of the Moore family, opens the door "oh hello sir?"
"Do you know of someone named kyle? i'd like to have a word with them"
"We don't have a family member by that name"
Cole stares them directly in the eyes with anger "do you? do you really not?"
"We do not" He looks back with a smile
Cole clenches his fists as he hides them behind his back "do you mind if i come in and look?"
"Of course, just stay on the first floor please" the nonferal steps aside and holds open the door
Cole steps inside as he tries to not angrily stomp but is failing horribly as he looks for anyone that looks like kyle. in the hall is a few guests accompanied by members of the family giving tours of the art work. "Sir, could you step more quietly please?"
Cole stops stomping as he angrily mutters something to himself and keeps looking
"What was that?"
Cole glares at them "nothing, mind your own business" He keeps moving as he looks at the floor
The nonferal seems a bit nervous as they try to follow. none of the guests seem to look like Kyle. Cole doesn't care as he keeps walking, looking for Kyle or the stairs. He sees a door at the front right of the hall with a group of family members by it. Cole walks over to the door with anger in his stride.
"are any of you named Kyle perchance?"
They all look at each other and shake their heads. The family member following cole speaks up. "Sir- If you didn't find them on the first floor then they aren't here. We don't let visitors on the other floors"
Cole spins on his heel and stares down at the non-feral "is that so?"
The family member politely nods in response. Cole winds up and slaps the non-feral with a meaty whack, enough force to knock them out cold. The family member’s nose is flung to face the other direction as he falls over onto the hard marble floor. the smack echoed in the hall as everyone goes silent and looks over at Cole.
"never call me sir again, cunt" Cole then looks around for any stairs. Theres only the door guarded by the group of family members.
One of them speaks up "Excuse me?"
Cole turns to look at them "what the fuck do you want?"
"You can't just do that"
"but i did, didn't i?" Cole starts slowly walking over to them
"Yes, but that doesn't mean we are going to tolerate that kind of behavior here" he stands his ground
"and what are you going to do about it?" Cole stops walking over to them as he stares at them with pure anger
"We are going to give you a warning" Everyone in the hall is still watching
"yeah? a warning?" Cole rubs his hands together
"And if you continue this behavior we will have no choice but to escort you off the property."
Cole winds up and slaps them hard enough to knock them out cold then turns to the door and tries to leave through it. they fall over as theres some commotion and he makes it through the door into a room with only a large metal spiral staircase going up and down several floors. Cole goes up the staircase and stops at the 2nd floor door.
He hears yelling from below "Hey! You're not allowed up there!"
Cole opens the door and looks around. It opens up to an empty cafeteria with a hall coming out of each side. He steps in and goes to the hall on the right. Theres doors lining the hall all the way down to a door on the dead-end. Theres a few nonferals of random species walking up and down the hall. He gets a weird look from a few. Cole turns and leaves and goes back to the cafeteria then takes the hall on the left. Its the same as the other hall. He gets more weird looks from people. A group of the family members are now in the cafeteria from down stairs. Cole starts searching each door for anyone that looks like kyle, the filters on the gas mask are turning black. Alot of the doors are locked and some are closets. The family members in the cafeteria point at him "HEY GET BACK OVER HERE" something steps out from the stairway as a feeling of bad luck grows.
Cole stares at them as he points at them "NO FUCK YOU" Cole says with a new york accent
They all start running down the hall at him. He stands there with his arms crossed as he angrily grumbles something. The feeling of bad luck becomes sickening as they are about to reach him. Cole is slightly shaking as he struggles to hold his composure.
Cole is grabbed by the arms as he plants his feet "Your gonna regret this"
Something steps into view as his vision starts fading to black. Cole starts shaking with fear as he tries to pull his arms free "fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck"
He begins to smell gasoline. Cole starts cry and goes limp as he disappears
