Urge
I awoke to an urge. An urge so profound that I knew I would be unable to suppress its call. The only problem I had was that it was dark and I was in an unfamiliar home. Not only that but it was a dark, unfamiliar haunted home!
I looked at my two sleeping companions. I didn't want to wake them up just for one of them to escort me to the bathroom! I thought about my options, I could stay here and hope to God that I didn't wet the bed or tiptoe down the long dark hallway to the bathroom. Based on the fact that I was clenching my thighs together in an attempt to not pee the bed already I knew that I really only had one option.
I stood up and tiptoed towards the door. I opened it very slowly and peered down the hall. It was dark and quiet. Opening the door the rest of the way I tiptoed out of the room and started down the hall.
Suddenly something giggled in my ear.
I jumped about ten feet in the air and hit the ground running! I ran into the bathroom slammed the door and threw the lights on.
Whew! Nothing in here! I locked the door for good measure and then went about my business.
I know I was just scared to death! But well that scare had just about made me pee my pants!! I would never be able to face Naru after an incident like that!
When I finished I looked at the still locked door. Hmmmm Do I really want to face the hallway again? I opened the door and peeked outside, at the end of the hall I saw the shapes of two young children, unsubstantial and giggling. I slammed the door.
Trapped.
