This is my first twisted story. Please tell me how I did and say anything if it needs improvement.
Dare
Chapter one: Dare
I sat in the dark room for what seemed like forever. But I knew it had only been one hour. I was scared, hungry and most of all alone. I never liked being alone, even when I was back in Hyrule, I had Saria and Navi I could play with. But now I wasn't in Hyrule and I didn't have Saria and Navi with me. I was in Smash Mansion with all the other Smashers. It was fun being a Smasher, meeting new people, being able to pull pranks on people and get away with it. It was a lot of fun.
The thing is, if I hadn't accepted that dare I wouldn't be down here alone and in the dark. Master Hand, our boss, had told us to never go into the basement. He said that he had lost too many Smashers down there and didn't want to lose any more. Some people say that Master Hand is a jerk and that he treats us poorly, but that's not true he treats us nicely and let's do what we want as long as it doesn't break any of the mansion's rules. We had all agreed to this. But, sometimes, we just couldn't help ourselves.
Link, my older self, had dared me to go into the basement alone for a total of three hours. I, being the Hero of Time; as well as my older self, was not going to chicken out on a silly old dare. But I should have, if I did I wouldn't be in this scary basement and I would probably be in a match with someone but no, my older self had to challenge me to a dare.
It all started like this…
"Hey Mini-me!" Link said, waving his arms to me. I turned around and smiled at him. Me and Big-me could always get along.
"Yes, Big-me?" I asked as he walked over to me. He smirked at me and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Mini-me I challenge you to a dare!" he said. I looked at Big-me and saw the look in his eyes. I knew that look. I gave it to people all the time, It was the look of 'I'm going to do something dangerous'. I looked at Big me and grinned.
"What kind of dare?" I asked with a look of 'I'll do anything' on my face. Big-me smiled at me and closed his eyes half-way.
"I dare you to go in the basement for three whole hours. And you can't have any weapons." I smirked and nodded my head.
"You're on." I said. Big-me smirked and led me to the basement door. It turned out that all of the other Smashers were there. Even my friend, Ness, was there. As we got closer to the door we could hear the Smashers talking among themselves. I could make out things like 'There's no way he'll last three hours' and 'I sure hope he'll be alright' Zelda most likely. She was always nice to me, always so patient and understanding. We had made it to the door and I reached over and turned the doorknob. I slowly opened it and looked down the dark, old looking stairs. I turned to look at Big-me and the other Smashers. Big-me nodded his head and turned on the light. I looked back down the stairs and saw that they didn't look as scary. So I smiled and walked down the old stairs. When I reached the bottom of them, which took a while seeming that there wasn't a handrail and I was worried that they would break under my weight. I turned back around and looked up the stairs. I saw Big-me and the others staring down at me. Then suddenly without warning Big-me reached over to the light switch and shut it off. The only light in the room now was coming from the top of the stairs but there was still light. But then Big-me stepped back from the door and slammed it shut. I shrieked when the slam echoed in the dark room. I sat down on a step and pulled my legs up to my chest. I was really starting to get scared. I stood back up and called up the stairs.
"Hey! Anyone there!" I said, hopping someone was there. I saw the door open and Roy and Marth stood at it.
"Are you sure you can last down there for three hours?" Marth said. "I wouldn't even be able to last ten minutes down there." Roy pushed Marth out of the way and looked at me.
"If you're going to chicken out you're going to have to beg on your knees." He said. Marth glared at him and punched him on his shoulder.
"Roy don't you think that's a little much? Give the kid a break, he's ten years old!" Roy looked at Marth, who was glaring at him and shrugged.
"Just trying to liven this up a bit. Don't be such a party-pooper Marth." I shook my head.
"No that's not it. I wanted to talk to someone, make it less scary." I said. Marth and Roy looked at me. Marth shook his head.
"Sorry, Young Link but Link told us that we couldn't talk to you. He said you have to stay down there for three hours alone, and in the dark. Unless… you beg." He said. I looked at them like I had been insulted.
"I will never beg! I will stay down here for three hours! I will not chicken out!" I said, throwing my fist into the air. Roy gave me the thumbs up sign.
"That's the spirit. Ok we got to go now. See you in three hours." He said. And with that the closed the door and my only bit of light.
And that is how I ended up in this dark, stuffy room. All thanks to a dare. And let me tell you this is one of the scariest things I've ever done. It's either my imagination or I am smelling blood and a lot of it. I know one thing though, I am not moving from this spot. If I look up the stairs real carefully I can see a bit of light coming from under the door…
"WHAT WAS THAT?"
