Once on the second landing, you find a pair of broken down but still majestic double doors, a hallway stretching out forwards from where you were, and a hallway stretching out to the left. The hallways were lined with doors, and the laughter seemed to come from the second door on the left in the hallway stretching out forwards from you.

I warily walk to the set of doors, calling out "Hello?" as I get closer. I figure if things get bad I could use the lamp as a weapon.

For clarification, do you head to the pair of double doors on the left or the door in the central corridor where the laughter came from?

(sorry I'll try)
I try to light it/ turn it on

You follow the path and after some time, you step on something that makes a loud cracking sound. To your left, you hear a shape intake of breath, almost as if in fear.

Velos stood still and looked forward, "Run." he said simply, "Run far away" he directed it at the breathing, "Nothing is safe here" he tried not to display a disappointment or sadness in his voice, although he felt it inside.

It is already lit, as it was when you came in.

Whoever it was showed no signs of listening to you. Instead, you hear rustling sounds of movement and suddenly, something tackled you to the ground. There was a bang, and something whizzed over where your head was a few milliseconds ago.

I take it and go back up the stairs looking at the details I had missed on my way up the first time, with out the light

Where I heard the laughter

There was nothing of interest on the stairs. You reach the second landing, and you take note of what you find. To your left, a broken but still grand looking pair of doors loomed from floor to ceiling. To your front, there was a hallway that stretched forwards. To your right, another corridor. The corridors were lined with doors, and when you listened closely, you think you may have heard some sort of child's laughter coming from the second door on the left side of the corridor to your right.

You head to the door and push it open, entering a large, dusty, old room. From your point of view, there was a small fireplace on the right wall, a dusty painting hanging over it, and before it, an armchair. Next to the fireplace, leaning on the wall, was a full body mirror. On the wall directly opposite of you was a large arched window, part of it broken. Through it, you could very vaguely make out a few trees in the night. In front of the window horizontally there was what looked like a very luxurious bed that was in disrepair. Against the wall left of you there was a piano. There seemed to be candles here and there in the room. Other than that, everything was way too dark for you to see anything of detail.
