Horrorland: Monsters Unleashed

Chapter #8 Run Away

Us. Ray and Slappy were talking about us. My friends and I! I began to tremble. Why were they talking about us?! I regained myself and refocused on what they were saying.

"So what's the plan, Slappy?" Ray was asking.

"The plan?" Slappy questioned.

"You've demanded to meet them, offered them rooms, given them clothes and fed them dinner. You must be planning something." Ray inferred.

"Alright fine, you caught me. And I'll tell you, only because you're The Watcher; my most trusted monster." Slappy admitted.

"What is it?" Ray wondered.

"We will strike tonight, while they're asleep. Take them from their bedrooms and throw them in the prison downstairs. You and everyone else knows that humans are the most hated creatures in tge entire monster existence, and they are to be punished for what they do to us in their world." Slappy explained.

PRISON?! No! They can't!

"All four of them? What will we do with them afterwards?" Ray questioned.

"I'm still piecing together what we will do after we lock them up, but it will be what they deserve." Slappy replied.

"And what if they escape?" Ray nudged. Slappy's face twisted with anger.

"No human has ever escaped from Horrorland, and no human ever will! We are stronger than a few kids, I'm not worried about it." Slappy raged.

"I understand that, but it is good to have a backup plan in case something goes wrong." Ray stated.

".....Go get everyone prepared Ray. I've got planning to do." Slappy answered darkly. Ray only nodded and hurried from the throne room, leaving Slappy alone.

I backed away from the wall now, completely mortified. Slappy was going to imprison us! And then he was planning some sort of torture or punishment for us after that? Were we going to be killed?! Eaten?! Was it all just a joke, a part of the act? I didn't have time to ponder the possible answers, because that's when Jen came out of the bathroom.

"Bec, what are you doing on the floor?" She asked.

"Forget that, we have to get the boys and get out of here now." I started.

"What? Why?" Jen responded.

"I just overheard a conversation between Slappy and Ray, and they're talking about imprisoning us and torturing us!" I exclaimed.

"What?!" Jen whimpered.

"Yeah! So we need to leave now! Come on let's get dressed and go get the guys!" I commanded.

Jen nodded and began to change back into her green hoodie and jean shorts while I changed back into my red shirt, black vest and black skinny jeans. Once we had our shoes on, we quietly opened our bedroom door and crept down the hall, making sure to stay off of the creaky floorboards.

I could hear talking down the stairs in the front room, it sounded like Mr. Mortman and Ray. I couldn't quite make out what they were saying though.

Jen and I made it to the boy's room and I knocked softly on the door. Ryan answered it.

"Hey guys, what are you doing here? I don't think we're supposed to roam the halls at night." He greeted.

"We're here to get you two and get out of this place." I began.

"Why?" Ryan questioned.

"Because we're in trouble! Slappy is planning something evil for us! I overheard him and Ray talking!" I whisper-shouted.
