The haunted theme park
Chapter 10
Wow Valkyrie thought this castle really is big … and spooky.
"When I was little I dreamed of being a princess. Living in a castle like this with a sparkly crown and fairy wings," China told Valkyrie, "Except the castle was pink, it looked warm, so nothing like this one." China turned to Valkyrie, "What now?"
"We sneak in."
"What?"
"Are you coming? Or are going to stay out here?" The big oak doors creaked as Valkyrie pulled them open and stepped inside. Of course China followed.
Inside the castle it was cold, dark and it smelled of damp.
"Urgh," China clasped her hands to her nose, "It smells like dead live here." China turned to where Valkyrie was stood. "Valkyrie?"
"China you were right."
"What do you mean," China walked towards Valkyrie. She was stood by a door made from oak-just like the front doors. The smell had got worse. China opened the door and screamed. Piled high inside the room were dead bodies, really pale dead bodies. China screamed again.
"What is it?" Valkyrie asked.
"I swear I just felt something cold brush past me."
"China I'm standing right next to you I would have felt it too."
China shivered, "There it is again and this time I heard footsteps."
"Point to where you heard them go."
Chinas hand was shaking as she pointed towards a set of double oak doors; almost as big as the front doors.
"Ok," Valkyrie took a deep breath, "I'm going to take a look, stay here." Valkyries heart was pounding as she walked towards the oak doors. When she reached them she took one last breath opened one of the huge doors and walked inside with her eyes closed.
Who is it Valkyrie thought Serpine or Dusk? She opened her eyes no one.The door behind her slammed shut, she heard China scream, and realised it had been a trap to split them up. For the first in a while Valkyrie sat down in the corner of the room and cried.
