Sam and Colby: The Amusement Park

• Chapter Seventeen •

Corey looked up from his phone after switching his flashlight off and parted his lips to reply to her sarcastic remark, but his eyes landed on the door to the bathroom that they had propped open when they had gone in. Andi's back was to the doorway as she faced him with a smile, but the expression quickly dropped as Corey's face turned a ghastly white and his eyes started to water.

"Dude," Andi said fearfully, scared to turn around to see what had caught his eye. "What the fuck are you looking at?"

"Andi," He stuttered, beginning to tremble. "Andi what the fuck is that?!"

The girl spun around and her heart sank to her feet.

Fuck.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In the doorway to the bathroom stood an all-black shadow figure, significantly taller than the two of them, and standing in such a way that his posture seemed almost rigid, which alarmed the blonde girl even more. Corey's breaths came shallower, and Andi swung the camera up at the doorway in a panic, having dropped her light out of shock. The flashlight attached to the top of the device lit up the front end of the bathroom and illuminated the ominous figure, making Andi and Corey's eyes widen.

Standing in front of them, blocking their exit, was a ghostly white figure in a suit that resembled an earlier version of the park's mascot, Willy Wolverine. The man's face was covered by the mask, but the top of his head appeared to have been bashed in, blood seeping through the opening between the headpiece and the bodysuit, soaking a majority of the costume in a brownish-red that greatly contrasted with the ashy white body and beady black eyes of the mascot.

"As a matter of fact, Frank was buried right in between the bathroom and the staff quarters where you five will be sleeping."

"Frank Spitts," Andi breathed out.

Holy shit, this was the park worker that had been smashed by falling equipment when the place was being built.

A sickening feeling crept up her spine, and every hair on Andi's skin stood on edge as she took a hesitant step back toward the boy behind her. It had only been a few seconds since she had turned around, but it had felt like years as her heart beat loudly in her ears.

"Jake, that better fucking be you!" Corey yelled, grasping onto Andi's upper arm as he started to freak out. "Don't fuck with us right now man!"

The figure's head tilted to the side at his words, and suddenly the flashlight on the camera began to flicker and the recording started to malfunction. Andi jumped when the light began violently flashing on and off, and adrenaline flooded throughout the girl's veins with such intensity that she almost felt high.

That was not Jake.

"Corey," Andi said, stepping back so that their shoulders were pressed together. "That's not Jake."

Just then the figure began to move towards them and the wind outside started to pick up, whipping the trees surrounding them back and forth with such intensity that the two of them could hear branches snapping like small fireworks all around them. Corey let out a loud scream and Andi spun around to look behind him, her mind racing a million miles an hour. Whatever the fuck that was was blocking their path out. They'd be trapped if they didn't move soon.

The girl's eyes scanned the walls and landed on a smaller window by the very last stall. The glass was foggy and covered in grime, but the darkness on the other side let her know that it led out to behind the bathrooms.

"Corey," Andi said, grabbing his sleeve to pull his attention towards her. "The window!"

She pointed to the back wall and ran over to where the opening was, struggling to film with the malfunctioning camera as she dashed to the window. Corey was frozen in place behind her, tears beginning to run down his cheeks that were red from the cold temperature. Andi turned to look back at him and saw the boy hyperventilating and standing utterly still as he stared in shock and horror at the ghostly figure at the other end of the room.
