It was dog.

Half bones.

Half meat, skin and fur.

I shivered about twenty more times.

Before, turning around and almost dying of fright.

I looked back down at the dog.

Covering my mouth and nose.

Trying not to inhale the stench.

The dog barked at me.

It's bones clattered.

I looked up at the empty painting and realised, the dog must of jumped out.

I didn't want to do this.

But I felt like I had to.

I picked the dog up, by its 'good' half.

And I pushed it back into the painting.

At first, I was happy that it was that easy.

But secondly, I noticed the dog looked normal.

It was posed on a chair.

With all of its fur.

And all of its body parts.

I was relieved.

And walked off as quickly as I could.

The hallway was coming to an end.

Once I had reached the end, I stopped and sighed.

It was a dead end.

But there is nothing at the other end either.

Trapped again.

I couldn't take it any more.

I just wanted to leave.

I had been through enough creepy stuff.

No more.

I flopped to the ground.

And crouched into a ball.

I was cold.

I was scared.

I felt sick.

And I don't want to do any more dares.

Ever.

I rubbed my sore eyes.

And just as I lent against the wall.

I fell through it.

I started falling.

I was screaming.

Random objects were flying past me.

My stomach was churning.

My eyes were stinging in the wind.

I screamed.

And screamed.

And wanted to cry.

But I couldn't.

I thought this was the end.

I was going to fall to my death.

I screamed, using my last bit if breath.

Hoping I would be heard, and saved.

But I saw the hard concrete ground.

Everything went black.

'It's ok. You are safe with us. We swear.'

Small voices.

Soft voices.

I opened my eyes to a bright light.

I was lying flat on the ground.

Not moving.

The voices were whispering to each other.

And one of them sounded familiar.

I screamed again.

I tried to get up.

I was paralyzed.

No parts of my body would move.

Tears started pouring out of my eyes.

'What do you want with me!?' I screamed.

I still couldn't see anything, but white.

'Hello?!' I screamed again.

My body started to lift up.

I was placed on a chair.

And I stared into the nothing.

I tried to turn my head.

But nothing happened.

'Why are you so scared? We were scared once too.' A voice whispered.

Then I saw the little girl.

She stood in front of me.

Holding something.

A bright pink collar.

'I just want to leave! Please... Let me leave!' I cried until my eyes stung even worse.

The little girl just stared at me.

She held the collar out in front of me.

I wanted to look away.

'I want my puppy back.' She whispered.

I gave her a confused look.

She placed the collar on my lap.

I felt lost.

'I don't know where your puppy is. I don't even know who you are...' I sobbed.

The little girl walked closer to me.

'You know who I am.' She growled.
