Haunted

CHAPTER 5-A Leap of Faith

Hailey's POV

I thought the dark was scary, but having thousands of killer dollies cornering me is definitely scarier. I couldn't watch so I latched onto Alex's arm and hid my face behind his shoulder. We were now back to back with Brittany and Austin who were trying to get one of the doors open.

"Austin hurry up!" Alex screamed.

"I'm trying!" Austin yelled.

I peaked over Alex's shoulder to see how close the dolls were. Big mistake. They were inches away from us and there was nowhere to run. I screamed as a doll nearly touched my leg. Alex, Austin and Brittany covered there ears and let out a groan. The dolls stopped, trying to cover their ears. Brittany noticed and yelled at me to keep screaming. Austin and Alex looked at her as if she was crazy, but I did what she said.

Austin's POV

I don't know what Brittany was thinking, telling Hailey to scream more. Hailey nearly made my ears bleed with the first one. As Hailey screamed Brittany began working on the door again. I looked back at the dolls, seeing that they were stopped and finally understood what Brittany was doing. She was buying us time. I knew I had to continue to work on my door, but that requires me to unplug my ears. I pulled my hands away from my ears expecting Hailey's scream too blow out my ear drums, but the only thing I could hear was two faint screams. I looked over at Brittany who was nearly in tears yelling at the ground. I was about to run over to her, but found myself on a little island as the floor around me was gone. I realised that those two faint screams were the screams to my best friend and Brittany's sister. I tried to stay strong. I looked over at Brittany and she was pulling herself together. She dried her tears and looked over at me.

"What do we do?" She yelled.

"Can you make that jump?" I asked, hoping she was more flexible than I was.

"I don't know, but I'll try."

She backed up towards the dolls that were now closing in.

"Oh please let her make it." I whispered to myself.

She ran to the edge of her platform and took a leap of faith.
