Under The Lights

Twenty- Titan Pierce

I pull up to our destination and take a look around. "Are you sure this is the right place?" It looks like a creepy abandoned factory.

She nods from the passenger seat. "Yea, its supposed to look like this. To get in and see the other attractions here, eat food, and play games we have to walk through that door, and actually go do the haunted house or in this case haunted factory to get in and see the rest. Pull in over there."

"Wait you're saying we have to go through the haunted house to gain entry to everything else?"

She nods smiling excitedly. "Yes, theres a scanner by the door to scan the tickets on my phone."

Jesus this is intense, just jumping right into this.

I park my car and get out to open Records door. My hands already sweating.

She smiles and thanks me while getting out of the car and surveying her surroundings as i shut the door and lock the car.

Shes grins like an excited child while i feel a chill go up my spine. "Are you ready?" She asks.

She must see my slight hesitation before answering 'yeah'  because she takes my hand in hers and wraps her other arm around mine pulling me close which makes me feel better. Her hands are warm, and i can even feel her body heat through my jacket. "Are you scared."

"No."

She ignores what i said and comforts me anyway."Don't worry it's all fake and I'm right here. Now lets go its a little chilly out here, nothing like a little scare to get your blood pumpin." She says before dragging me to the entrance.

We stand in front of this big metal door with no handles but there's a scanner off the side and Record holds her phone up to it. The door makes a loud clicking sound as the door unlocks and pops open.

I open the door all the way and we walk inside to see a man standing behind a counter with papers stacked in front of him. The walls are dark with low lighting giving it an eerie vibe as the man just looks at us. The room is small and square with another door off to the right. That dude is creepy.

Record drags me to the counter, my feet feeling heavy as i walk with her. "Cmon we have to sign these." She lets go of my hand which makes me feel less stable in this place. "What is it?"

"Waivers." She picks up the pen and begins signing some papers.

I swallow, god this must be a serious haunted house, it makes me feel more nervous than i already was.

"Why isn't he talking?" I glance at the silent man, it's starting to really creep me out.

"It's apart of the gig, it's suppose to unsettle us."

Consider me unsettled.

She hands me the pen and i reluctantly sign the papers. Once we're both done the man puts wristbands on us and points to the door off to the right and it unlocks.

I grab Records hand as we walk through the door to keep me grounded. It's pretty dark so we cant see far in front of us but i notice the walls close in the farther we walk in. They get so small we can no longer walk side by side so she walks in front of me, so our hands stay intertwined between us. A dim red light finally lights up our walkway and i notice blood all over the walls. Oh great.
