Miraculous Horror - Going Down

Author's Note: Hallo everyone! I know I haven't finished Camping Adventures yet, but I'm going to be starting something else too. So basically, Marinette and her class are transported into some type of horror film/haunted hospital or asylum. I don't have all the details worked out yet. There won't be anything too overly gorey, it's just meant to be spooky. Enjoy!

"Will you make me the happiest person on earth, Marinette?"

An impossibly huge diamond ring was thrust into her face, sparkling in all its glory.

"YEEEEEESSSSSS!" she screeched, doing a little dance in place. "Now we can live in a beautiful house with three kids, a dog, and a hamst-"

A loud yawn torn Marinette away from her dream.

"Nooooo," she groaned, rubbing her hands down her face. "I wanted to finish that!"

Marinette gave a grumpy sigh and opened her eyes to little slits as she tiredly rolled over to the other side of the bed. She overestimated how wide the bed would be, and she toppled over the edge.

"Ow! Stupid bed," she grumbled to herself, rubbing the arm she landed on.

Another loud yawn broke through her thoughts.

Startled, Marinette's sleepy haze dissipated and she started taking notice of where she was. This was not her room. She seemed to be sleeping on a small, hospital looking bed that had torn up, yellow stained curtains hanging around it, forming a room of sorts.

She emerged from her "room" and immediately spotted Alya on another hospital bed.

"Alya! Where are we?" Marinette asked, shaking her half-awake friend.

"Whaaa?" Alya mumbled.

Alix stumbled out from under a curtain and nearly collided into Marinette.

"Why's everyone sleeping in this... this..." Alix looked around at the room. The walls were deeply scratched, floral wallpaper was peeling off, and everything was letting off a musty smell. IVs and other medical equipment was everywhere. "What even is this place?"

"Looks like some kind of demented hospital," Nino commented, walking over to them.

"Wait. Where did you guys come from?" Marinette questioned.

"Past the curtains. That's where everyone else is too."

"Everyone else?"

"Yeah, it seems the whole class is here," Alix answered. "Weird, right?"

"How do we get out?" Marinette looked worried.

"I don't know. I haven't seen a door yet."

There was a tensed silence.

"A bunch of teens is a demented hospital. Sounds like that could be some cheesy horror film where they have ghosts made out of flimsy sheets and really bad special effects." Alya joked, trying to lighten the mood.

That relaxed them a bit, until they heard a moan from behind.

"AH!" Marinette yelled, shoving the first thing she could reach at the noise.

"Oomph!"

Adrien, who had just woken up with a tired moan, was greeted by a speeding wheelchair that swept him off his feet. He fell onto it, and it bounced off a wall, slowly rolling back to Marinette, bringing Adrien along with it.

"A-Are you okay? I'm so sorry! I didn't know that was you!" she babbled, getting redder by the second.

"I'm fine, no harm done," Adrien assured, giving her a smile that seemed to only make matters worse.

"Let's go find everyone else," Alya suggested, dragging Marinette by the arm. They passed the curtain and found the rest of their class sitting upright on the beds, looking confused.

"Is this some sort of prank?" someone asked dubiously, looking around the room.

"What if we were kidnapped by an akuma?" Alya wondered. "I'm sure Ladybug and Chat Noir will be here any minute to save us!"

Oh no, I don't have Tikki to transform! She's still in my room!

Marinette fiddled with her fingers. "Yeah... but we should go ahead and look for a way out," she said.

"You hear that? Everyone look for a door or a window or something!" Alya called out to everyone else.

The class split up to look, and not five minutes later they discovered a large, metal door. Unfortunately, it was locked.

"Well, we found our exit. Now how do we open it?" Nino asked, messing with one of the flashlights they found when they were searching the room.

"Maybe there's a key?" Rose suggested.

"If there is a key, it's not in here. We searched this whole place."

"Welllll, how about we knock down the door?" she said, grasping at straws.

Everyone turned to Ivan.

"Nope. I'm not doing it. Just look at how sturdy the doors are!" he said.

"Chicken," Kim bawked, flapping his arms and doing a little dance around Ivan.

"I'm not afraid. I just don't think it'll work," Ivan frowned.

"Whatever. I'll knock the door right off its hinges!" Kim boasted, getting into a running stance. He bolted full speed towards the door, preparing to slam his shoulder against it. The door swung open by itself just before Kim reached it, and he flew off balance into the dark hall beyond the doorway.

"Kim! Are you alright?"

"Yeah," he mumbled. He came back into view covered in cobwebs, his pride shattered. A few people snickered.

"That solves one problem. But now..." Nino peered into the hallway. "We're going to have to go in there to find a way out of this building.

They gulped.

"But it's so dark and spooky," Mylene whimpered, shrinking behind Ivan.

"We have flashlights!" he said, flicking one on and passing two others to Marinette and Juleka. "We can split up into groups of three to search for an exit."

"That has bad idea written all over it. Splitting up is what people always do in horror films, and it does not turn out well!" Alya protested.

"We're not in a horror film though!" Nino shot back. "You watch too many movies."

Alya just humphed.

They ended up dividing into three groups:

Marinette, Alya, Sabrina, Max, and Nathanael were the first group.

Ivan, Mylene, Rose, Juleka, and Kim were the second.

And finally, Adrien, Nino, Chloe, and Alix were the third.

Chloe insisted on going with her Adrikins and clung to his arm with a death grip.

Marinette took a deep breath and flicked on her flashlight. She and her group turned down the hall till the flashlight shone a beam of light on a small, grey door that had a sign hanging on the doorknob.

She brushed off the sign and coughed as a cloud of dust billowed up around her.

"It says kitchen," Nathanael pointed out, peering at the black lettering.

Marinette pushed the door open, and the stench of rotten meat hit them like a wave.

"Ugh, that's ripe!" Alya exclaimed, clamping a hand down on her nose.

"The smell is burning my eyes!" Nathanael cried.

Max looked like he was going to faint.

"I would say to breathe out your mouth, but you can taste the smell too," Marinette said, coughing in disgust.

Sabrina was the only one that looked unfased.

"How can you stand this?!" Alya demanded.

"Chloe wears a lot of strong perfumes, and after hanging around her for so long, I think it affected my nose," she answered, tapping her nose. "Everything smells very faint now. I can hardly even smell the stench!"

"Luuuuckyyy," Alya said.

"Well I'm not going anywhere near there," Max stated, gesturing to the back of the room where the stench was thicker.

"I'll search back there for you guys," Sabrina volunteered.

"Thanks Sabrina, you're a lifesaver," Marinette said gratefully.

Alya leaned over to Marinette as they searched the other part of the kitchen. "You know, Sabrina isn't all that bad when she's away from Chloe's influence."

Marinette nodded in agreement.

A couple minutes passed when Sabrina called out to them.

"Guys! I found a dumbwaiter! This could be our exit out of here!"

"Great! That could either bring us up to the roof or down to a door," Marinette bounced around in excitement.

"Yeah! Just let me... Get. It. Open!" Sabrina grunted, pulling the dumbwaiter's hatch up. Suddenly, it flew open with ease, catching Sabrina off balance and dumping her inside. The hatch then slammed down on its own accord, trapping Sabrina inside.

"HELP!" her scream was drowned out by the noise of screeching and rattling as the dumbwaiter made its desent.

The group's excitement turned to terror in a instant.

"Sabrina?!" they shouted, yanking up the hatch. The dumbwaiter had already plummeted far, far down and was now out of sight.

"Sabrina!"
