The Monsters under her bed

5

Before Alex brought Eddie into the abandoned store she told him, "I am warning you now, what you are about to see is crazy, out of the ordinary and just outright weird. I just hope you'll still be my friend after this."

As she finished, she opened the door to show a room. It was actually a house, but a one room house. Eddie walked in.

"How is this weird and how does this hurt you," Eddie stated the facts.

Because," Alex replied, " This isn't the thing that hurt me, nor the place. Just follow me."

She led Eddie to the bed and told him to help her move it. It was easily moved to reval a door. It was locked.

"Well, I guess we can just turn back and forget this ever happened," Eddie said as he started to walk away. This time, Alex grabbed his wrist.

"No," she said furiously, "Your the one who signed up for this."

"Well, uh my mom said to be home by 4 for uh, dinner?" Eddie tried saying as Alex pulled out a pocket knife and held it up to his face. He was frozen from fear and she put it away. She then pulled a key out of her pocket. It was golden and looked really old. She turned the key and Eddie heard several mechanisms from inside the floor turn. Suddenly the door opened and at least 50 black cave bats came flying out into the room. They didn't seem to bother Alex, but Eddie was a different story. He started cursing under his breath and sometimes screaming. After about 5 minutes, Alex and Eddie could climb through the door.

When Alex and Eddie first climbed down the secret passage, they landed in a small room the size of a bathroom. The walls were blank and there was no furniture.
"Okay, what kind of prank is this. It's obviously not working, I'm not scared at all. At first I was actually wor---- AHHH!"
Alex had just touched his shoulder and Eddie was practicaly scared to death. The boy had jumped and hit his head on the low ceiling.
"Not scared, huh." Alex stated, clearly making fun of Eddie, "Just follow me"
Alex walked over to one of the walls, knocked a pattern on it, and walked to the center of the room. The opening they had entered in closed. Eddie screamed again. "Wow, he's pathetic." Alex thought. Then, in the pitch black room, Alex walked to one of the walls and pushed in a part of the walls, it rotated open and let some light into the room. Eddie made his way towards the opening and walked through with Alex. The wall rotated closed and the two walked through the quiet, poorly lit hallway. The door on the other side of the hallway kept seeming further away as the walk became longer and longer. Finally, Alex backed into the wall, disappearing. It was as if the wall wasn't there, but only appeared to be. Eddie followed her, unwillingly, with his eyes closed. She grabbed his hand and led him through some walkway. When Alex actually stopped, Eddie opened his eyes and found himself outside the abandoned shoe store, As if he never walked inside, and Alex was no where to be seen.
