Two weeks went by faster than Hailey thought it would. She was sad to leave the museum, but she was happy that she wouldn't be around Ahkmenrah. Things did seem to be getting easier as the days went by. Of course there were times where she was depressed.

Her and her friends were sitting in the lunch room at school, talking about the haunted house. It had opened last week, though they were all so busy that they didn't have time. Two of them had already finished their homework and the other two were almost done.

"So, do you think it's going to be scary?" Kiera asked.

"It's a haunted house." Hana replied. "Of course it's going to be scary."

"Well, I know that, but we helped build it. Will it be scary to us?"

"We don't know when people will jump out at us so I'm sure we'll be scared." Hailey said.

Night soon came and the four of them were standing in line for the haunted house, talking about how scary it will be. Soon they were up to the door where there was a skull that said, "Enter if you dare." Then laughed manically.

Slowly, the four of them walked into the house. None of them had been in when it was dark and it looked a lot different than in the day time. Hana and Kiera were staying close together as they kept glancing around, waiting for someone to jump out at them.

They had made it to the next room without a problem, making Hana lower her guard. They walked passed a small prison cell with blood splattered on the wall and bars. Kiera peeked in, trying to see if anyone was in there. Just as she was inches from the bars, someone jumped up from the darkness and pounded on the bars, screaming. Kiera and the other two girls jumped back in fright.

As they continued to walk, Kiera kept an eye on the person in the cell. She turned back around just in time to see another person in front of her and it wasn't one of her friends. This person was dressed in prison clothes and had blood dripping down from his head. She screamed as she walked around the person and grabbed hold of Hana.

Another inmate jumped out from behind a wall and yelled, "Stay with us!"

Hailey jumped and instinctively grabbed Jack's hand. He laughed at her which earned him a hit in the head.

It wasn't long until they came upon the torture chamber. Kiera was sure she wouldn't be scared in this one since she helped built this part. She looked over at the wall to one of the bodies she put up that was chained to the wall with blood dripping down all its body. Right as she passed the body moved as it yelled. Kiera screamed as she turned around, making Hana laugh.

Soon they came to the killer clown room. Hana was a little scared for this part since she had a secret fear of clowns. It started when she watched the movie IT when she was little even though her parents warned her.

They went around a corner and out of nowhere a clown jumped in front of them with a chain saw. Hana screamed as she moved closer to Kiera and it was her turn to laugh.

After more clowns coming out with different weapons and yelling, the four friends made it out of the room and were now standing in a dark room with a strobe light. Hailey looked around the small room then over at the door where in green letters there was the word exit.

"This seems too easy." She said.

Cautiously they made their way towards the door. They all knew something was going to happen, but that didn't prepare them for what happened next. Just when they were a few feet from the door, the floor and walls started going in a circle making everyone lose their balance and fall.

Jack laughed. "It's a rotating room."

He stood up and tried to make it to the door, though he lost his balance a few times. Hailey tried to get up, but every time she did she would take a few steps then fall again. She stood up right as Hana lost her balance, making her fall on Hailey.

"Sorry." Hana laughed.

"It's all right."

Once again they stood and headed towards the door. Hailey stumbled a little, but she finally made it out and waiting for Hana and Kiera who seemed to be having a hard time. Kiera hadn't even stood back up after she fell for the third time. She was crawling to the exit, though she still kept falling.

Hana made it out next and when Kiera was almost out she stood up, but lost her balance and fell out. She sat on the ground laughing. Hana then helped her up.

The friends walked out the door, still laughing.

"That was so much fun." Hana said.

"I say we go again some time." Kiera said.

"Sounds good to me. What do you say, Hailey?" Jack looked over at Hailey.

"Huh? Oh yeah, sounds good."

Hailey didn't deny that she had fun. She enjoyed the haunted house and she enjoyed hanging out with her friends. When she was scared though, her thoughts went to Ahkmenrah. She had wanted him to be there to protect her. Sure it was only a haunted house for fun and the people in there would never hurt her, but that still didn't change that she had wished he was with her.

"Hailey, are you all right?" Hana asked.

"I'm fine. Let's go to Starbucks for some coffee."

Everyone agreed then headed off.

At the museum, Ahkmenrah had gotten a little better. He was at least coming out of his room. He was still being a little distant with everyone except with Jed and Octavius. The pharaoh never thought the two of them would be good at comforting him, but they did. The others tried, but nothing helped.

Ahkmenrah was currently sitting up on the roof. Something he had recently started doing the last few nights. As he looked out at the city, he wondered what it was like out there. He also wondered what Hailey was doing. He had tried so many times to forget her, but he couldn't. Even when he slept, his mind was on Hailey.

The young pharaoh looked at the bracelet he held in his hand. He had made it himself. Larry was kind enough to buy the jewels and beads for him. He was unsure about what he should do with the bracelet.

"Maybe she would still like the bracelet." Octavius said.

"I don't think Hailey would want anything more from me." Ahkmenrah said sadly. "We aren't together any more. I have to accept that and accept that she doesn't want me. I don't have much to offer."

"You have your love."

"Unfortunately that wasn't enough."


Sorry it has been awhile since I updated. I had no idea what to write. And sad to say, but I think I will be ending this soon. I am running out of ideas. If anyone has any ideas on what they want to happen let me know.
