The Undead

Chapter 9: In my Amusement Park

I didn't hesitate, I slammed the axe into the ice block and noticed Ellie's eyes open and turn purely white. Then the ice block exploded into tiny pieces, sending us all to the ground.
Ellie was just standing there, ice shards at her feet
Michael burst in through the door and grew bigger and bigger and changed into the monster that brought me here. Michael was the monster. Michael made his wife disappear. Michael killed his employees. Michael was the Scar Man.

Michael saw that I had the keys and he rushed towards me.
"Get away from her!" Ellie shouted, her voice echoing throughout the room. She moved her hand and Michael flew back into the wall. Her eyes were a faint red but mostly white.
Great, now there's two Mother Undead's. But neither of them want to kill me anymore, so I guess that's good.
Michael jumped at Tucker, but I threw the axe and it stuck right in his neck. He fell to the ground and I pulled the axe out.
Ellie then passed out onto the ground and I fought her, slung her arm over my shoulder, and made my way up the stairs as fast as I could. Michael tried running after me, but when he went to jump on top of me, I fell to my feet, letting him fall straight into his room. Tucker rushed over to the door of the villa and opened it, and the 4 of us piled through. Well the three of us did, Ellie's taking a nap right now on my shoulder. The villa was connected to the hallways that I've seen so much of. We shut the door and I dropped Ellie for just a sec. I used the axe and cauterized the door shut. "That should at least hold Michael for a little while, not for much, no doubt. So we should get moving" I said.
"Where are we gonna go?" Ashley questioned.
"We'll find some place to rest, let's just go" I said urgently.

Eventually, we just stopped at one of the hallways, because Ellie was waking up. I sat her on the ground, and knelt down beside her.
"Ellie? You ok?" I asked.
She nodded yes. "Mhm" She said, before feeling her head. "My head hurts though"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Well you've been in an ice block this whole time, but it's good to see you again" I said, before Ellie hugged me and I hugged her back.
"How long have you been frozen for?" I asked her.
"......15 years" She said to me.
"Jesus, well you're back now. How were you able to talk to me in my head?" I asked.
She reached towards my ears and touched some earrings that I had in my ears. "I gave you these earrings for your birthday when the restaurant was up. You've kept these all this time, and you're wearing them"
"You.....talked to me in my head because of some earrings? In all honesty, that's the least weird thing I've heard yet" I said.
"Come on, we gotta go. Michael's no doubt looking for us, and we have to find a way out of here" Tucker said. I helped Ellie stand up and we continued to walk.

After a while of walking, we came across a metal gate door. It opened up to some form of twisted amusement park. There were broken roller coasters and arcade games/park games like whack a mole or some shit.

The place looked long deserted, like no one had been here in OVER 15 years.
"Odd, the restaurant never had an amusement park" Ellie said.
"No, but it was gonna. If the tv show succeeded, we were gonna shoot for other things. An amusement park was one of the ideas. Nuglimmon would've funded it and everything. But the show did poorly, and the restaurant shut down because you went missing so this never came to be" I informed them.
"So everything you worked for was destroyed because of me?" Ellie asked, seemingly feeling guilty.
"Not your fault, El. Michael literally cryogenically froze you, you had no control over that" I reassured her.
"Come on, we have no reason to be here" I said to the 3 of them, and just as we were leaving, the amusement park came to life. Lights, machines, music. Everything started working. This confused me so I went back in to check it out. The metal gate door slammed shut between me and the other 3.
"Hey!" I said, banging on the door. Not even the axe worked on it. Speaking of the axe, it flew out of my hand and slammed into the wall, as if it was a magnet or something. Then all the lights cut off. I looked over towards the wall, and a spotlight shown on something. In the spotlight, was a shadow. A really big shadow. Shit, it had to be Michael. Without the axe, I can't survive for long. I ran up to the axe and attempted to pull it out of the wall with my bare hands, but some unknown force grabbed onto my ankle and dragged me forward to the spotlight. I got to my feet and looked at the spotlight, and felt the ground shake. Oh shit. Michael's big beastly form walked out of the shadows and smiled at me creepily.
"You should know better than to snoop, Marcie" Michael said, before the lights cut on again and Michael blindsided me, sending me stumbling to the ground. I rolled on the ground and onto my back. I attempted to stand up but Michael jumped on me and slammed my head into the ground.
"I've been sending those disappointments after you this whole time, hoping they'd kill you before you got this far. Looks like I'll just have to do it myself!" He said in my ear. I raised my hand up to call the axe to me, but he stomped on my head, dislocating my wrist.
"Ah!" I yelled in pain.
"You built an empire from ideas in your head, and now you'll be killed by it" Michael taunted, before picking me up and tossing me onto one of the rollercoasters. At first, it was broken and falling over, but now it was fixed. Black inky lines came out of it and wrapped around my arms, tying me to the coaster. Then before I knew it, the coaster shot off, going at like 100 mph. Eventually, it crashed and threw me from the seat, where I then landed on my head on the ground, causing my vision to falter and made me hear ringing in my ears. I was in some sort of ballroom, the type you'd see in like a castle. We're really going for that Disney land aesthetic, huh? When I collected myself, I got onto my feet, but was immediately knocked down and thrown to the side by some kind of animal. It was a giant wolf. Ah shit, it's Dylan. His eyes were pitch black, meaning Michael had control over him.
"Dylan, listen to m-" I started, before he ran at me at great speeds, hitting me and knocking me right on my ass. He landed on top of me, and attempted to bite down on my head and since I didn't have my axe, I had to hold his head back with my hands.
"Now this is a fight I love to see!" Michael taunted from some kind of intercom.
I pushed Dylan off me and got to my feet. I backed up with Dylan slowly moving forwards towards me, growling and seething at the mouth. At this point, again, This was purely BloodHound. He began to bark at me before running full sprint towards me. I dove to the side and he smashed straight into the wall, but it didn't take a while for him to come back out. He came at me and attempted to slash at me with his claws, and he actually got me good across the face. He then kicked me towards the wall and this time, I smashed into it. He jumped towards me and attempted to bite at me and I rolled out of the way, but immediately fell because he had tried to slash at me again. As he got angrier, he grew bigger and bigger, like the hulk.
"Dylan, you have to snap out of it! This isn't you!" I shouted, hoping it would at least do something.
"Nice try, Marcie, but this isn't Disney. You can't get him out of this through talking. And I mean you can't because I have control over him! Haha!" He taunted on the intercom again.
Dylan jumped at me again, but he didn't land. I had covered my face but I looked up and noticed something. Something smacked Dylan right in the face and landed on the ground. It was The Keeper's axe. Well the bigger one. But I looked over at Dylan and it was indeed Keeper. Keeper grabbed Dylan by the leg and threw him into the wall. A door opened to the side of him. "Run, you'll be able to get out through there" Keeper told me. I didn't waste any time, I just ran through the door and noticed another opening at the end of the hallway. I didn't even realize how I was running on a bridge like structure with water underneath it. 20 foot deep water. I just started running but I got clotheslined by someone. Michael. He was standing there. "I had big money on that fight, Marcie. But fine, if I can't have anyone else kill you, I'll do it myself" He said, as he then proceeded to wrap a chain with a weight on it around my neck super fast so I couldn't react. He jumped into the water and pulled the chain, causing me to fall into the water. It also was slowly cutting off my breathing. I flailed around underwater, trying to break free but I couldn't. Michael was too strong. I thought it was gonna die here, but then a blast of light came into the water and smacked Michael in the face. And then Ellie jumped into the water, wearing a white slit dress and high heels, grabbed me and swam back out. She helped me get to the opening and Keeper and Dylan followed suit. Tucker and Ashley were out there as well, and Keeper shut the opening. Dylan's eyes were back to normal and he was back to his normal look. Keeper also held my version of his axe and sat it down beside me when Ellie sat me on the ground. I began to cough up water. Tucker knelt down beside me. "It's ok, you're safe now" He said to me, and I just hugged him without saying a word.
