"Amy!" I groaned. "This is serious!"
"No!" She protested, "This, is a waste of money!"
I looked around the room as everyone stood there in shock. I opened the door quickly as a cold wind blew through the room. Claire let out a shrill scream and held onto Ashton, who stood completely still. We all walked out of the room together and looked up and down the hallway.
"Split up." Kira announced and we all glared at her. "We all need to split up."
"Are you fucking stupid?" Claire scoffed and Kira nodded.
"We need to check this place out and find Nathan." She shrugged and brushed her fingertips over the old wood.
"I'm in." I spoke up and Amy glared at me, before sighing and holding my hand.
"So am I." Calum smiled and nudged Kira. Michael stood next to me and so did Cher.
"Come on, Claire." Ashton groaned as he walked over to stand near Kira. We all glared at Claire who stood there tapping her foot.
"We're fucked." She mumbled and stood beside Ashton.
"That's my girl!" He smiled and swung his arms around her waist. She chuckled softly and held onto him tightly.
I looked down at Amy who squeezed my hand tightly. "You're pretty scared aren't you?" I asked her.
"Me? Pfft, Pfft, Pfft, Pfft a little." She muttered and I chuckled, pulling her in for a hug. She dug her face into my chest and I sighed softly.
"So I think Michael and Cher go on the top floor, Luke and Amy on the middle floor, Ashton and Claire on this floor and Calum and I go to the basement." She smirked and Calum gulped softly. Everyone glared at her and she chuckled. "Hurry up then!"
We all raced for our areas. Amy and I took a while to find the stairs and Michael and Cher followed.
"I can't believe I'm stuck with you." Cher scoffed and pushed Michael into the wall. Michael sighed and walked faster up the stairs.
"This is our stop." I whispered and Michael and Cher stopped.
"Good luck." Amy smiled, "and don't die!"
"Wouldn't count on it." Cher rolled her eyes and the two kept walking up the stairs.
Amy and I silently walked down the hallway and her fingers traced scratches on the wall.
"It says something." She whispered and I read the writing.
ALL YOUR WORST FEARS
I furrowed my eyebrows and tapped my chin. I walked down the hallway more and saw there was 8 doors. There's 8 of us. I sighed loudly and reached for a door handle before Amy stopped me."Not yet." She said sternly. "Just a quick look up the hallway then we all meet back at the eatery."
I nod and trace my hands on the writing as Amy keeps looking around.
"Luke." She mutters and I hum as response, "Do you see that too?"
I walk beside her and see nothing outside. "See what?" As soon as I finish speaking, a pair of rotten feet tap against the window. I jump back in shock.
"That." Amy croaks. I look further out the window as a dead body hangs from the top of the house, the wind causing it to hit the window. It looks so old.
"We need to get out of here." I mutter and grab Amy's hand. "Fuck Nathan."
"C'mon," Amy tugs me back towards the stairs, "we'll go back to the eatery."
I can't help but glance at the words scratched into the wall.
ALL YOUR WORST FEARS
I gulp and Amy and I quickly walk down the stairs to see Claire sobbing at the bottom of the stairs, Ashton holding onto her tightly. Amy sits beside her and immediately comforts her.
"What happened?" I ask Ashton and he shrugs lightly. I scratch the back of my neck and walk around their floor. I spot a flash in the corner of my eye and I spin around as a dark figure slips through a door. "Nathan?" I whisper loudly and try to push the door open. It doesn't open at first, and I constantly push on it and turn the handle.
A muttering noise comes from the other side of the door and I stop to listen. "Get out." Something mutters and I listen closely.
"This isn't funny Nath-" I'm cut off when the door swings open and I'm tugged into the dark room.
