Halloween Night

Chapter 17

Ally pushed into Austin more and Austin urged her to keep walking, holding her hips close to him.

"Dallas, stab them." Cassidy ordered. "Stab them as we walk by."

"That's actually a killer idea." Dallas noted.

Ally stiffened. "Can we please stay away from the adjective 'killer' ." Ally asked and Austin rubbed her hip sweetly, trying to comfort her.

Dallas stabbed the fake Michael's. None moving, none crying or wincing. That is, until one did. Dallas stabbed the dudes leg and he fell over.

"Hey, what the hell, dude?!" The Michael took off his mask and threw it at Dallas, "You freaking stabbed me!"

"Yeah," Dallas shouted, "before you could stab me!"

"This is a haunted house, I am not actually going to stab you." He threw the knife in his hand at Dallas.

"This is plastic."

"Yeah, because I work in a haunted house." The dude whined. "I can't believe you stabbed me."

Then why did that mummy kill my friend?!" Dallas shouted back.

"Mummy? We don't have mummy's that work here!" The dude yelled at Dallas. "Mummy's aren't even scary."

"Well what about ghosts?" Austin asked.

"Why the hell are you guys quizzing me about who works here? You stabbed me!"

Dallas leaned down. "Listen, dude. Two of our friends, maybe more, just died. We got locked in some concrete room and we just got out. There are people here. People who shouldn't be here, and they are out for blood."

Wait," the guy stopped Dallas, "you were in the concrete room? I thought that was just an urban legend." The guys voice was shaking now.

"You thought what was an urban legend?" Austin spit at him.

The guy sat up and tried to stand, Dallas helped him. "Every year, supposedly, the bouncer picks one group. Particularly a pain in the ass group, leads them onto an alternate route, kills a couple of them and then drugs the rest so they can't remember what happened. But, I thought it was just a thing people say, you know, to scare people more when they are in the house.

"Well, it's obviously not."

"But you're in the real house now." They guy said accusingly. "They're not going to let any of you live. Not if they can help it. You broke the rules. You got through."

"Run!" Austin shouted.

Dallas looked back, incredulously, "what the hell man?"

"I'm serious, dude. RUN!"

Dallas did as he was told and it was becoming apparent as to why, the clown was chasing after them. "So," Austin is saying out of breath, " anyone who seems out of place, they are someone to be scared of." Austin was instructing as they ran.

"Like that clown. " Dallas shouted back, and then turned suddenly, pulling Cassidy with him. Cassidy reached out and grabbed Ally, and Ally found herself in what looks like a black hole in the wall. But where was Austin?! Ally heard Dallas and Cassidy breathing heavily and Ally made eye contact with Dallas, who put his finger to his lips, asking her to be quite.
