The Haunted Candy Shoppe

Chapter 15-Roll Down Window

The stupid hot fudge had managed to burn and melt the car doors together. That meant that the car was now a solid metal box. The windows were still able to be rolled down, but with every drop of the searing chocolate sludge, the windows became less and less accessible from the inside. I was beginning to worry that Eva would get squished in there.

I started knocking on the back windows of the car, hoping to get some acknowledgment from Eva. All of the other girls did the same. Even the little bunny was pawing at the car doors. Suddenly, a hand flew up and slapped the window from the inside. It must have been Eva's.

I called out to the other two girls and we all started yelling at the window. It wasn't doing much, though. I was positive that she was currently stuck under molten metal and chocolate. We all yelled at her to roll down the window, but with the glass muffling our voices and the fact that we were all yelling at once probably made it hard to understand us. I decided to look around for something to make a sign with.

I turned around and saw the little bunny running towards me with a slab of cardboard in its mouth. It dropped the cardboard at my feet and sat on its haunches. I looked at it, not knowing how to make a sign with it. There was not way to write on it.

The bunny then hopped over to a puddle of fudge and sniffed it. Then it stuck its foot in. It didn't immediately recoiled in pain, so I assumed it was cooled. I trotted over and dipped my fingers in. I then wrote the words "roll down window" on it.

I ran back to the window and pressed the sign against it. I saw something moving around in the car. The window then started to go down at a really slow pace. We all squealed happily when Eva popped up in the window.

Then the window stopped.

Eva pounded on the button, but it wasn't working. The window was only about three inches open. Eva wouldn't be able to fit through it. I was scared now because the fudge was really coming down now. I was worried that it was going to melt through the trash can lid.

Julia then started running towards the car with a rock. I told Eva to cover her head. We all backed away and watched the glass shatter. We then saw Eva climb out, covered in small scratches from the glass' pointed edges. We covered her with the trash can lid and we began to walk in the direction of my house.

While we were walking, the funniest thing happened. So Eva hadn't seen the bunny at all yet. She was walking in front of me. The bunny was hopping alongside of me. She turned around, stopped walking, and screamed. She tried to run, but we held her. Same with the bunny. I was petting the bunny to try and steady the poor little thing's breathing.

"This bunny isn't going to hurt us," I told Eva.

"Well how do you know?" She asked. "You didn't think the candy shop was going to hurt you, but here we are!"

I stepped closer to Eva and she fought to run away. The bunny started twisting and trying to get free of my hands. Just lovely. They were scared of each other.

This was going to be fun.
