The Haunted Mansion (Glee Addition)

Chapter 8

Finn, Blaine, and Kurt had no idea that "my way" meant riding in a ghostly horse-drawn carriage!

"Dude! You said you knew how to drive this thing!"

"Don't worry! I know exactly what I'm doing!"

"Just keep your eyes on the road, okay!"

"Move over!" The woman in the apron demanded, taking the reins.

"What are you doing?"

"If you keep driving, you'll kill us all!"

"That's where you're wrong because some of us are already dead!" The short man laughed

"Well, some of us are still alive and would like to keep it that way!" Kurt screamed.

"Calm down, dude!"

"Look!" Blaine pointed, in the yard, dozens upon dozens of ghosts, men, women, and children.

"Kurt...I see dead people." Blaine said.

"Me too, Blaine...."

"Hey!" Finn called, "Why are these ghosts here?"

"When they died, they couldn't find the light, and now they're trapped." The woman said

"Doomed to wander the Earth for all eternity!" The short man said. The carriage came to a stop.

"Here we are."

"Okay, thanks for the lift. Come on, let's find that key and get the hell out of here!" The three climbed out of the carriage.

Rachel and Gracey walked into the attic.

"This was to have been her wedding dress."

"Oh, it's beautiful, I mean, I prefer Audrey Hepburn or Barbra Streisand's, but this is lovely."

"It would have been lovelier still if she'd ever had a chance to wear it. Now it just serves as a dark reminder of what almost was."

"To love someone so much then lose them so suddenly, I can't even imagine...."

"If you truly love someone...they never leave you. They remain in your heart forever."

Finn, Kurt, and Blaine walked down a long trail as Kurt told Finn the story of Edward Gracey and his love Elizabeth.

"He was willing to throw everything away for love, isn't it so romantic."

"Yeah, great move on his part. Now he's dead and cursed; nice going."

As Kurt was walking, he heard a loud squish.

"Are you kidding me?! These are my new shoes!"

"Alright...where are we?" Finn wondered.

"I think that gypsy lady said something about down by an old oak," Blaine said

"Well, I'm glad she was specific." Finn snapped

"Don't snap at my boyfriend."

"I'm sorry, dude, this has just been a day from hell! Crap, my phone's dying. Can I borrow yours?"

"Mine just died." Kurt sighed.

"You can use mine." Blaine said, handing Finn his phone, "Password is 206501."

"Okay," Finn said, putting in the password and turning on the flashlight.

"Finn, I found it!" Kurt exclaimed. They followed Kurt and were in front of a large mausoleum.

"Look!" Blaine pointed to the latin words emgraved into the door,

"It's a warning."

"How do you know?" Finn asked

"I took classes while I was in Dalton. It says, 'Beware All Who Enter. Here Lies The Passage To The Dead'"

"Well, you're full of surprises, aren't you?" Kurt smirked.

"Okay, you two stay here," Finn said, opening the door and moving the cobwebs away.

"Okay...." He grabbed a torch from the wall and gave Blaine back his phone, "I'll be back with the key."
