The red light began flashing on the side of the video camera. He aimed it towards the decaying building, focusing on the main section that used to be the front entrance. He slowly walked backward and kept the camera steady as the shot widened to show the rest of the abandoned place. Natsu finally halted and pressed the zoom out button. The display screen showed Lucy standing off to the side, facing their next location challenge.

"This will look awesome with the creepy edits," he said as he pressed the stop button. He held his hands in the air and looked through the square they made to gaze excitedly at the mansion.

"Creepy edits?" Lucy asked, twisting around towards him.

"Yea. Like the filters that'll darken or lighten it. The footage will look great."

Lucy grinned and turned back to the large old mansion.

It was clear it had been unoccupied for several years; the siding was all but gone and what was still attached was discolored, the bricks in certain areas were crumbling, the long, wooden porch floor was caving in, and most of the windows were broken. The front door was the only part they could see that was still functional. There was a barn and a shed in the same condition.

She twisted her lips as her eyes scanned the old wreckage. "It may not need it, the place already has that feel in the dusk hours," she commented, glancing up to the rapidly fading daylight. "Though maybe a filter would enhance it."

"And we haven't even seen the inside yet." Natsu came up beside her and placed his arm on her shoulder, leaning slightly onto her with a smile.

She gave him another nervous grin. It wasn't her first time investigating reportedly haunted sites alongside Natsu, or even with her friend Levy and Levy's boyfriend, Gajeel. In pairs, the four of them had debunked several locations prior to having been contacted for this particular one. She was used to exploring abandoned factories and hospitals in the darkness. It was a thrill of which she had become addicted.

"You thirsty?" Natsu asked as he turned. He marched over to their black Cobalt parked in the drive and set down the video camera to open a cooler filled with ice. He held up a soda.

Lucy joined him as they patiently waited for the other two who would be locked in with them. She pulled the tab at the top and took a sip, glancing towards their objective. "What do you think the history is on this place?"
