Ever After High: Corpse Party

Chapter 15: An Eye for an Eye

Raven's POV

I opened my eyes, but it was pitch black. Why can't I see anything? Then a bright light shone above me, illuminating a room I had never been in before. It was a horrific scene. There were two children who were blindfolded and had their hands and feet tied up. One of them was crying. Then I realized my hands and feet were tied up too. I struggled, and a Mr. Grimm's figure stood over me, then he put a blindfold over my eyes. "Hey!" I yelled, "Why are you blindfolding me?" "In or...d...er." I heard him say with difficulty. In order? What does that mean. Then the screaming began. It was a little boy's scream. Then came the horrifying snip of scissors. And the boy screamed even more. "M... HONGUE!" He screamed. I grit my teeth. Then all I could hear was crying. Then the screaming started again. This time, it was a girl's scream. And what happened next made my stomach turn over, there were many horrible cracking sounds and the screams ceased when I heard a blood curdling splatter. I was gritting my teeth so hard that I thought they would crack. So Mr. Grimm had been doing those horrible things to the children. He was the killer. Then I felt some hands take off my blindfold and next thing I knew, my blood went cold. "B-b..." Bunny Blanc stood over me, her white hair caked with blood and her white face stretched into a maniacal smile. No. But clutched in her small hand was a bloody pair of sewing scissors. I was paralyzed with shock and fear. "Bunny..." I choked out in suprise. We looked at each other for a few seconds, and she giggled, raising the scissors high into the air. And she plunged it right into my left eye. The pain was beyond description. I wanted it to be all over. I could hear my own screams as blood poured down onto my clothes. But Bunny still giggled, twisting and turning the scissors. "Will it come out?" She asked playfully in between giggles. And she pulled hard. My other eye saw a horrible sight of its fellow pierced by the scissors, and Bunny collapsed into fits of crazy giggles. Everything started turning black. No. No. My screams were growing harder to hear. My lungs felt hot and my eyes in excruciating pain. No. I'll die. Please let me die. This is a fate worse than death. Then the pain ceased. And Dexter's pale and worried face swam into view. "Raven, wake up!" I heard him say. And when he saw me stir He let out a sigh of relief. The ghost stood at the end of the room and said, "I'm sorry, but that was the only way to show or say what happened..." "It's ok." I swallowed. "I'm ready to go back. C'mon Dext-" "No. I'm not going." I heard him say. I gasped. "You don't want to save Daring and the others?!" I cried. "I don't ever want to go back! Ever! You are fricking crazy if you seriously want to go back!" He snapped. "But what about Dari-" "What about my brother, Huh! That all you ever talk about! Daring, Daring, Daring, Daring! And I'm sick of you always taking the lead!" My eyes filled with tears. "Fine!" I yelled, and followed the ghost girl back into the portal for Heavenly Host, away from Dexter, away from the world.
