Circus of Screams

Chapter 4

Go!

I race the pistons and run though. When I'm almost there I slip. I hang on to the ledge and struggle to lift myself up because of how weak my injured arm is right now.

I then stab my knife into the carpet in front on me and use it to lift myself up. The activated floor is about my crush my leg when I just make it up.

I sit down for a minute and grab my knife shortly before venturing on.

"It was just luck I made it." I mumble to myself.

I walk through a few more path ways, hoping I went the right way. I hear Brayden's voice! Did I make it?

No.

I come to a dead end with a set of 10 mirrors. Then a voice comes over the speaker again.

"Choose a mirror to walk through and you may be lead to your boyfriend if you choose the right mirror. Got it? Good. Continue."

Hoping my choice is correct, I walk through Mirror #8.

I walk through the mirror and in a matter of seconds I reach the other side. I see weapons, first aid kits and new clothes. Maybe each of the mirrors have something different in them. If I can I should go back and see what's in the other mirrors.

The first thing I walk to is the first aid kits.

I grab a bandage for my cut and rinse of the cut. I apply some 'healing cream' and stick the bandage on.

Next, I go for the clothes. I pick out a black t-shirt and what looks like exercise pants. They kind of look like leggings and feel like leggings. It's a new change of clothes so who cares.

I walk towards the weapons wall which the weapons are hanging on. I see guns, knives, bombs... Stuff they'd probably use in the army or on a really badass mission.

I see a jacket that's hanging beside the weapons which is black and leather. And the table next to the weapons, there are attachments you can strap to your leg and waist to keep different weapons in.

I strap the attachments to my legs and around my waist and take knives, guns and bombs to fill them. I decide to keep one weapon in my hand.

I pick up this machete which looks pretty dangerous so I take that.

Wait, why would they give me this stuff? Obviously they want a fight. If they want a fight, I'll give them one.

I head back out the mirror and see 3 big black dogs that have a fierce look on their faces. 2 of them charge towards me and I jump as high as I can. Luckily, they smash their faces together. That was what I was aiming for.

This 3rd one was the scariest one. It was bigger than the others and looked angered almost.

I charge at it this time and it hauls itself towards me while I'm holding I'm the machete directing it towards the dogs face. The machete goes right through its face.

The biggest dog lay there dead while the other 2 stand up slightly injured. I decide to finish them off with a few bullets.

Bang!

Bang!

I mentally high five myself.

After I push the dog bodies to the corner of the room, I walk through Mirror #3.

There appears to be a door at the very end of the room in Mirror #3 so I open the door and see nothing at first, but then my eyes focus to the end of the big room and see 4 men all standing at little carnival game kiosks.
