"You live here, ma'am?" Yusei asked while the other two were still in shock.

"Of course!" the woman smiled. "Have you never seen me coming in and out of this apartment before?"

"Nooooo," Jaden replied bashfully. "We, actually I, found this place cool to explore because it looks a little...haunted?" He told her the last word in the tone of a question because he wasn't sure if the woman would get offended.

"Oh thank you!" the woman exclaimed, surprising everyone else. "I tried to make the place ever so lovely and dreadful."

"Especially with all of the black decor everywhere," Lizzy noted, looking around the dim-light room.

"Well my favorite color is black and I wanted to decorate my apartment with it. Ah, and I just remembered something that may help you reminisce on a past memory." She hurried over to a small, round table with some candle stands. On these candle stands was black lace wrapped around the object, with white candlesticks attached to the top of the stands.

"Oh, I know that candle stand!" Lizzy exclaimed. "It was a housewarming gift for when I moved into the apartment. It had a name tag on it. It said 'Felicia'." She turned to the woman and asked, "Was that you?'

"Yes, it was!" Felicia replied with a warm smile. "I give a candle stand with a stick to everyone that moves into this little complex, you and your friend here." She was referring to Jaden because he and Lizzy moved into the complex at the same time.

"Was it the same stand that we shoved into the closet?" Jaden whispered to Yusei.

"Yeah it is," Yusei whispered back.

"So why doesn't our friend Yusei have a candle stand?" Lizzy asked Felicia. "I don't remember him having one."

"He came to the complex before me," Felicia explained. "I started giving out candle stands to newcomers to this place. Although I won't hesitate to give him one, if he'd like."

"N-No, thank you," Yusei said with a small sweatdrop.

"Hmm...well since you've met my pet spider through the spiderwebs, would you like to meet my pet snake?"

"S-Snake?!" Jaden exclaimed, his eyes widening in fear.

"There was a spider in that web?" Yusei asked with great concern.

"Yes there was a spider," Felicia smiled. "He's probably running around the floor and walls now. I also do have a snake. I'm sure he'd be dying to mee-" She was interrupted by Jaden screaming and running out of the apartment, shutting the door behind him.

"Oh yeah, he hates snakes," Lizzy remembered after Jaden left.

"Aww, that's the warmest, farewell greeting I've ever received!" Felicia remarked with a hand over her heart.

"I'm going to make sure that he's okay," Yusei said. He quickly left the apartment, leaving just Felicia and Lizzy.

"I'm pretty sure he left because of the spider," Lizzy noted. She looked directly at Felicia and said, "It was a pleasure to meet you but I must leave. Love the candle stand!" She walked over to the door and Felicia exclaimed,

"Come back anytime!" Lizzy did one last wave before leaving the apartment.

"That was interesting," Lizzy said to herself.

That's the end of The Haunted Apartment!! Thanks for reading the last few parts and I hope you all continue to keep reading this book. :)

Also, the picture above is who I imagine Felicia to look, which is Morticia Addams from the Addams Family. It's where I got the inspiration for this interesting character.
