When Tori, Jade, Beck, Andre, Cat and Robbie venture into the forest to find a supposedly "haunted" asylum to spend the night, they have no idea what's in store for them. The ancient building is full of vengeful spirits, and one in particular is out for blood. The six friends will end up wishing they'd never entered The Asylum...
The Asylum
It was a perfect day for six friends to be hanging out together, just enjoying the summer holidays while it lasted. The sun was beating down on their necks as they dragged themselves up through the steep forests to the abandoned asylum hidden in the darkest part of the trees. All of them had watched plenty of horrors, and they knew that what they were venturing into seemed too much like the storylines in the classic movies, but they were young and just having fun.
"Is anyone else scared out of their wits?" Tori panted, propping her elbows up against a tree to rest.
Jade sniggered "Pfft, what is it with you babies? It's just a bunch of stories! Come on, seriously? People running about in white sheets? Get a hold of yourself!"
"Easy for you to say, Jade!" Andre whimpered "You're made of steel!"
She smirked, and with a quick nod, she marched off in front, grabbing Beck's arm along with her.
"We'll be there soon, right?" Robbie moaned "I can't stand this heat!"
"I like it!" Cat fluttered about behind them, collecting leaves and flowers off the trees and offering them to him as if it were an attempt to change his mind on the sun.
Tori chuckled and pushed away from the tree she was leaning against. They all began the final few strides up to their destination; it was only a couple hundred yards away...
The asylum was dark and eerie, as to be expected. Moss and leaves draped over the entrance like a curtain, shielding it's ghastliness from the outside world. The windows were no longer fitted with glass, and just were crumbling arches now. It wouldn't be surprising for a white figure to just appear in them, that's the sort of atmosphere the ancient building was creating.
"Christ!" Andre exclaimed "It's creepier than thought it would be!"
"Nah, it's actually not as bad as I expected..." Tori smiled weakly as she headed for the door.
"Robbie, you said you were talking us bowling!" Cat cried.
Jade gave him a confused frown.
"It's the only way she was gonna come!" He explained.
Beck threw back the leaves, revealing the passage way leading into the asylum. He gave an approving nod before carefully stepping inside.
It smelt of damp, bugs, dirt and simply age. This building was lucky to still be standing, it was so old. Many people had heard of the stories linked to this very spot, how there had been endless sightings of dark, mysterious creatures hiding in the grounds. It had once been a place to keep the mentally ill, people who were considered to be a danger to society due to their insanity. It was shut down when the police were informed that acts of torture and even murder had taken place there. For years, it had been closed off, no one was allowed within the building or the forest that surrounded it, as one patient had escaped during police inspection. Of course, no one alive today knew whether this was true or false, but either way, it was good enough for a gang of curious teenagers looking for a good scare to be intrigued.
"Hey, guys!" Beck's voice echoed from deep inside.
"What?" Tori shouted back in response.
"You better check this out!"
Jade's face lit up, she had many hopes of finding burnt carcasses, blood and gore whilst they were exploring this place. She quickly followed her boyfriend's voice, urging the others forward.
"You gonna go in, Robbie?" Cat asked with large, curious eyes.
"Uh, um... yeah, I guess." He swallowed back his fear. He had to impress Cat during this trip; he had to be the big man, the one all the girls would be relying on to keep them safe from harm's way.
Andre helped Tori inside, as it was quite a high entrance, and then heaved Cat up too. He was the last to go inside, something didn't feel right. There was a un easy feeling in the pit of his stomach. He looked around the forest. A slight breeze had arisen and the trees were swaying gently from side to side. For a split second, he could swear he caught glimpse of a shadow crouching in the distance, watching them. But, when he looked back, there was nothing but hedge and stone. He grunted and hopped inside, unaware of the troubles that awaited him and his friends...
This Fanfiction is my first that includes torture, murder, ghosts etc. So I'm not very experienced in this genre of writing! I randomly began writing this and got really stuck in and ideas of future chapters kept springing into my mind! Anyway, I've cleared my account of all my old stories in order to start fresh; I hope this will be a good start... I really hope you liked it! If you do, please review for more chapters and updates. If you like, I'd love to hear some ideas on what could happen! For all of you readers that think ghosts and stuff is "dumb", don't worry, there's a twist! Sorry for babbling on! Amber x
