Nick walked swiftly towards the mausoleum while holding my hand. Almost dragging me.
"Hey Butt-head slow down!!", I shouted at him and he looked at me with an excited grin plastered on his perfect face.
"What Beavis? Can't catch up?", he jokingly said. I cast him a glare and he just chuckled then slowed down a little so I can keep up. I sure am slow today. Lack of nutrition maybe. Cause cereal and junk food don't give you too much nutrition.
Nick stopped walking and I also did. We were just a few feet away from the old mausoleum. I shivered as a cold breeze swept through me.Nick held me closer and I blushed bright red. This is so not normal of Nick. But maybe he just feel my fear and care as my friend. Yep, that definitely it is.
Nick pulled away then started walking to the set of double doors and reached for its' handles. He just looks calm and contained. He looked at me and asked "Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be.", I smiled but the shaking of my voice contradicting my words.
"Mones if your not okay with this, we can go back.", Nick looked at me with eyes full of concern.
"What? No way dude. We've already came this far. There's no backing out now.", I huffed at him while inside I was really screaming 'yes let's go back I hate this place' but I don't want Nick to look at me like a scared kitten. I have to.
He looked at me and I nodded at him to go on and open the door.
Nick groped the handle tightly and twisted it. He pushed it open and the hinges creaked and groaned. As the door was fully opened, a head throbbing stench hit our noses. Maybe dead animals.
We scanned the whole room and saw that the place was filled with cobwebs and dust. A single tomb is at the center. It's dark and the stench grows stronger as we come in.
"Phew. This place literally stinks.", Nick said, pinching his nose.
"There's nothing here dude. Just a to-", I was cut off by a sudden burst of wind that came out of nowhere.
I shivered at the sudden coldness and ran beside Nick. We were at the middle of the room now when suddenly the double doors slammed shut. I jumped and turned around. I ran for the door and saw Nick beside me looking completely terrified. We shouldn't have went here. But I have to let my pride ruin it all.
"Hey! Somebody's in here! Open the door!", Nick shouted at the top of his lungs while banging the door.
Despite of Nick's shouting, I heard an eerie voice that's calling out to me.
"Monaaaa...."
"Nick did you hear that?", I nervously asked Nick.
"What? I hear nothing Mona.", Nick looked around. There's no one else here but us.
Suddenly a gust hit me so hard it almost knocked me on the floor, then I heard an ear piercing scream.
Nick's eyes were wide and scared and his head started to look for anyone else in this shit place other than us.
I soon felt light headed and crashed completely on the floor.
The last thing I saw was the door opening and a headless body that's standing up with a bunch of others that I can't quite describe because of my dizziness. I felt Nick's arms carry me, then everything went black.
