Festival of Fears

Haunted House

Anya's POV

We all followed behind Elias as he walked inside the creepy doll room. I held onto his belt loops on his pants for safety and comfort. "There are so many things in here" he said as if he was stiffer when he took another step inside the room. Elias stopped in his tracks. "We can hold hands" I said to him.

I grabbed his hand slowly knowing we can't turn back now. His hand grabbed onto me tightly. I looked up at him and he seemed to be calming down a bit. I sighed as we both walked through the door together. As we walked inside the lights turned on.

I screamed as I saw the horrifying dolls all smiling at us. Elias screamed as well once he saw them blinking right back at us. "Oh my god they are everywhere" said Platon as he entered behind us with Nadja. "They are blinking" said Nadja panicking. We looked around the room in terror.

Then we heard the laughter of small girls. "They are all so creepy" said Elias as he scanned the room. He wasn't as scared as he was before now. My heart was still flowing with adrenaline. "How do we get out of here" I asked them. "Guys over here there is a door" said Elias as I walked towards him.

"Let's go" I said as we both walked into the next room. Nadja was still cowering behind Platon. The door shut behind us and there we stood in a lit up bathroom. As we we're inside I looked at the smoky bathroom mirror. I turned to the bath that was close to the wall. "Oh my god" I said as I took a step back.

I saw a hand slowly grab the shower curtain. It pulled it back with one tug. The sound was loud even when Nadja screamed. I looked at the empty bath and no one was there. "Come on guys" said Platon as he wanted us to keep moving along. "Oh my god" I kept saying on repeat.

We walked through the other door to another room. I walked down the hallway and I saw dolls blinking and smiling at me. I watched as their eyes kept following my every step. Platon, Nadja, and Elias followed behind me. The lights turned off again and a host swung at me from the ceiling.

I screamed as I saw it coming towards me. The lights turned back on and it was gone. "What happened" said Nadja. I began to laugh since my heart almost jumped out of my chest. "You okay" asked Platon. I watched as he looked around cautiously. "How are you laughing" asked Nadja.

I got so scared that I couldn't stop my heart from beating so fast. "That's not funny" said Elias. "Did anyone see it though" said Elias right after. "Yeah" said Platon as he was holding Nadja in his arms. "I can't handle jump scares" Nadja said panicked.

"I don't want to be here anymore" said Elias as he walked to the next part. We all followed behind him once my heart calmed down. We walked into a bed room with a lit up closet. "That's not good if it's lighten up" I said as we walked inside. "This isn't some kid show things don't light up" said Platon.

As the exit closed behind us there was high pitched laughter. "I don't like that" said Platon. I watched as Elias slowly walked up to the closet. The sound of his heartbeat echoed throughout the room. Seconds felt like minutes when he had his hands close to the handle. "Just open it" said Nadja. "The suspense is killing me" said Platon.

Elias tried to open it but it didn't budge. "We can't open it" he said. "We'll come on. Let's keep moving" I said not wanting to stay in this room. We followed the arrow into another closet. The door shut and the lights went out. "I don't like this" said Platon. "I can't get out of here" said Elias.

The lights flickered back on and we we're able to walk out. When we walked out we saw the same bedroom from before. "Guys" I said spooked. "Look the closest got closer" said Elias. "The arrow is pointing that way" said Nadja.

"Oh no it's rearranging rooms" I said already feeling my heart beating really fast. We stepped into the other closet and the the lights turned off as the door shut behind us. When the lights turned back on we walked out hoping for it to be a different room.

I opened the door and screamed. I saw a doll blinking at me. She looked at all of us in the closet. "She is moving" screamed Nadja. We ran past the doll and went to the next closet. The lights flickered off once again. The door opened and the lights turned back on line once before.

"I can't take this anymore" said Platon. We walked in the same room three different times. "I'm making a run for it" said Elias. As we walked in the lit closet doors opened and tons of bats flew out. We all ducked as the bats flew around the room. Their high pitched screeches echoed around us.

We all screamed as they began to get closer to our heads. We ran out towards the hallway. "Let's get out of here" I said. "Yeah this is our chance" said Platon. We began to walk down the narrow hallway. As we stepped further away from the room the pit of my stomach knew something was wrong.

"Guys wait" I said as it was too late. I felt the entire floor fall in and we all dropped screaming into a pitch black hole in the wooden floor. The echoes of our screams was the last thing I knew that was happening before we fell through the opened floor boards of the haunted hallways of the ghostly house.
