CHAPTER23; Haunted Ritual.

It had been weeks since we moved into this apartment, it was amazing. Tonight, we were going to these ritual tunnels. I was scared but I'm sure it'll go fine.

Everyone was here, Elton, Matt, Me, and Sam and Colby. We all go into Colby's car, and with me sitting in the middle with Elton's and Matt, I felt squished.

We got to the tunnels and the boys started their intro. Then after, of course we went into them. We got to a part that was maybe a foot deep of water.

"Damn it you guys, I'm wearing my good shoes." I complain, looking back at Colby. He smiles at me.

We finally got to the part where we tried to do the ritual. Before we started I heard a faint voice. "Guys. What was that?" I ask.

We ignored it and Sam started talking to us about what we were going to do. "We were here three weeks ago and prom-"

There was a sound of someone walking in the water. We finally said it was Elton's boots that made the sound, but I didn't think we were alone.

I'm guessing Colby saw the look in my eyes. "It's going to be fine, baby." He whispers.

We found a place to do the ritual and we were in the middle of setting up the candles, then we heard another sound.

"That sounded like a phone." Sam whispered.

"I don't feel so sure about this guys." I comment. They decided to ignore it and continue on with the ritual.

Maybe ten minutes later, another noise. "Is that your shoe again?" Someone asked Elton.

"Jesus Elton oh my gosh." I say.

"I-I'm not moving." He says nervously. Elton is never nervous unless he's concerned about something.

We hear more noises. "Okay, I don't know about you but I'm getting the fuck out of here. I'm not doing this anymore." I say, standing up slowly. "I'm really scared. We can get killed right now."

After that, we all decide to leave. We walk slowly until we hear more and more noises. Once we get to the end, we hide behind a rock. There was definitely other people here.

We finally see them and Elton approaches them. That was a bad idea though, because they got scared. I was holding the camera by now, and a guy threw the camera on the floor, causing my small body to fall back a little bit.

They yelled and yelled, and tears ran down my eyes. There was another girl there with those people too. I was on the floor with the camera, tears slowly running down my eyes.

Matt rushed to my side, and Colby, he did nothing. Colby acted like he didn't even see me. Matt helped me up and all the people calmed down and talked.

I was furious, that these people took it too far, and that Colby did nothing to help me this entire night. Maybe I was making a big deal out of it but I didn't care.

After standing up I realized my head and wrist hurt like a bitch. Sam, Colby, and Elton started talking to the other people and they weren't mad. They turned out to be explorers too.

We got back to the car, still no word from Colby, and got in.

"Baby-" Colby starts.

"No. I don't want to talk." I say, and he shuts up and drives.

He dropped Elton and Matt off at their houses and we headed back to the apartments. After we got to our floor we say by to Sam.

And let me tell you. Once he unlocked the door, things go heated.
