The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a long shadow across the old, abandoned mansion. It was a place steeped in legend, whispered about by the townsfolk but never ventured into. That was until tonight. A group of friends, seeking an adrenaline rush, decided to play hide and seek in the mansion's ominous corridors.

Liam, the group's leader, had always been a bit of a daredevil. He chuckled as he whispered, "Let's see who can find the scariest place in this place. The one who can't will have to tell the scariest story they know."

The others nodded eagerly, their faces alight with excitement. They split up, each choosing a room or a corner to hide in. The mansion was a labyrinth of dark corridors and dusty rooms, each more foreboding than the last.

Sarah, always the most curious, chose to hide in the corridor at the end of the third floor. She pressed her back against the cold, stone wall, her heart pounding in her chest. She had always been fascinated by the unknown, the idea that there were things in this world that defied explanation.

As she waited, her mind raced with thoughts of the mansion's rumored secrets. The old stories of strange noises, shadows that moved on their own, and doors that opened and closed without a touch were swirling in her mind. She felt a shiver run down her spine, but she pushed it away. Curiosity was her driving force.

Suddenly, she heard a faint whisper. "You're not alone."

Sarah's heart leaped into her throat. She turned around, but there was no one there. She shook her head, trying to convince herself that it was just the wind. But the whisper returned, clearer this time. "You're not alone."

Sarah's mind began to race. She had read about people who had gone mad from isolation, who had convinced themselves that they were being haunted by imaginary friends. She tried to tell herself that it was just the house's way of scaring her, but the whisper grew louder.

"Help me," it said. "You can see them too."

Sarah's eyes widened. She looked around, searching for anything that might be causing the sound. But there was nothing. She felt a chill run down her spine, a cold that seemed to come from inside her own skin.

"Who's there?" she called out, her voice trembling.

The whisper grew louder. "I'm here, Sarah. I've been here all along."

Sarah's mind was spinning. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched, that something was out there, watching her. She tried to stay calm, to focus on the task at hand. But the whisper wouldn't leave her alone.

"I know what you're doing," it said. "You're trying to find the others. But you won't. They're gone."

Sarah's heart sank. She knew that was impossible. The others were just playing a game. But the whisper wouldn't let her go. "You're the one who's gone," it said. "You're the one who's lost."

Sarah's mind was a whirlwind of fear and confusion. She tried to find the others, but every turn she took led her deeper into the mansion. She felt like she was being drawn into a trap, a trap she couldn't escape.

"Sarah," she heard a voice call out. "Are you okay?"

Sarah's heart leaped. She turned, but there was no one there. She called out again, her voice echoing through the empty halls. "Who's there?"

The whisper grew louder. "I'm here. I'm right behind you."

Sarah turned, but there was nothing there. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and she spun around, her heart pounding. But there was no one there. She looked around, searching for anything that might have touched her, but there was nothing.

"Sarah," the voice called out again. "Are you okay?"

Sarah's mind was racing. She felt like she was losing her mind. She tried to stay calm, to focus on the task at hand. But the whisper wouldn't let her go.
