Side note: This chapter might be a bit creepy.
"I wanna die! I wanna die! This world is gonna end soon and we're all gonna die so what's the point!?" My friend screams as she cries. I didn't know what to do to help her, so I just stood there - hoping that she would stop. She was always the one to brighten the mood when I needed it, and at that moment she was the one who needed cheering up. The news went on as she cried. Horrible images of cities destroyed by meteors flashed onto the TV screen. As time went by, the news reporters announced that the next city to be hit was ours. Dread overtook any positive feelings I had.
"Why us!? Why!? Someone tell me, God dammit!" She went on. Her crying and screaming made me cry with her. Seeing my best friend, who I had known ever since the day I could remember, slowly being torn to pieces killed me.
"If we haven't got long on this world left...then let's make use of the time we have." I said softly, hoping to calm her down. She sniffed, and nodded her head.
I opened my eyes and let them adjust to the sunlight. I got up, looking out of the window. What I saw seemed to be a theme park. Excited, I ran outside and looked around. There were roller coasters for miles, along with cafes and game stalls. I had never seen something as big and wonderful as this before. Obviously, I had been to a theme park when I was still...'alive'. The one I had woke up to was amazing, but the emptiness didn't feel right. Usually, theme parks would be ridiculously full of people...yet this one was empty. Anyone would have loved to have an entire theme park to themselves, but once you're in that situation you wished you had never thought of it at all.
Regardless, I raced ahead and checked to see if the roller coasters were working. To my surprise, they were. Yet all of them seemed small, and didn't seem interesting. The only one that caught my eye was The House Of Terror. I always hated anything creepy when I was younger, but all my fear had left me as I walked towards the house. I stepped inside and looked around. It was quite dark, so I couldn't see much. The door shut behind me as I walked further into the room. I followed the light at the end of a long corridor. It seemed to have gotten longer with each step that I took. My heartbeat quickened. I had a sudden bad feeling. Standing in front of a closed door, I slowly opened it. Behind it was another dark room - but I could see a dark figure in one corner. The music playing seemed to have gotten louder.
Distance laughter could be heard. I shrugged it off as just a part of ambience. Leaving my fear behind, I walked into the room. Without thinking, I walked to the corner where the figure was. I stood in front of it, and noticed that it didn't move. I touched it, and it appeared to be a cardboard figure. Typical.
I headed toward the next corridor, which was darker than the last. Nevertheless, I walked through it. I tried to open the door at the end, but it was locked. I turned around, and saw that the room I was just in had gone. I tried the door again. Nothing. Panic raced through me. My heartbeat quickened. I knew that it was supposed to happen, but even so I couldn't help but feel scared. My once fearless self had left, and left a scared girl in its place.
I heard footsteps in the distance after a while. I tried the door again. Still locked. I suddenly became desperate to get out, and tried punching and kicking the door. The footsteps became louder - and then stopped. Everything went silent. I heard a click, and the door opened. I allowed myself to calm down, and stepped into the next room.
This room was brightly lit, and looked nothing like a room in a haunted house. It looked like a happy child's room.
"Do you want to play with me?" A child's voice said. I thought it as just part of the haunted house, and paid no attention to it.
"Please play with me." The voice said. A pale figure appeared in front of me.
"Please play with me." It repeated. Fear had entered me yet again, and I turned around to leave. The door was shut and locked.
"Don't leave." The child said. It sounded like it was right behind me. I was too scared to move.
"I won't let you go." It whispered. I closed my eyes, hoping that the child would go. Laughter filled the room.
"Forgive me."
I woke up in the same room. The child seemed to have gone. My head hurt, and I was dizzy. I couldn't stand up, or even move. I was paralysed.
"Daddy hurt me and mommy left me."
The words written on the ceiling appeared, and after a while disappeared. I slowly got up, and ran out of the room.
I got outside, and the light almost blinded me. I let my eyes adjust to the light. I found a bench and sat down, waiting for my heart rate to slow down. For some reason, the child in that room seemed familiar, like I had met them before. I stopped thinking about that, and looked up at the sky. There were no clouds, and it was peaceful. It was a beautiful day.
I headed towards a cafe after about an hour and looked inside. It looked like a perfect place for families to come and relax after an exciting day around the theme park. It would have been a nice place to be if other people were around. Sometimes being lonely isn't always a good thing.
I stood inside, and noticed that the floor was creaking slightly. I heard a click, and suddenly I was falling.
Thanks for reading~! Hopefully I should be able to upload more chapters more regularly, but at the moment I'm just super busy...I'll try to write as much as I can, though ^-^
Sorry for the long delay for this chapter...I've been super sick lately (Still kinda sick but oh well~) and seeing as it's almost Christmas break I've had tonnes of homework and exams at school...plus my mind's just blanking out all the time lately ;~;
