Chapter 9: Into Horrorland

I woke up the next morning, feeling something that isn't right. So getting out of bed, I made my way to my dresser draw, and took out some fresh clothes, heading to the bathroom. I turned on the shower, and showered myself awake. I dried myself and got dressed, before walking out of the bathroom, my wet hair that still has water on it, dripping onto the floor.

Entering the kitchen, I took out my fifty dollars, getting ready to go grocery shopping when I heard a knock at my door. I set my money on the counter, heading to the front door, wondering who could it be. No one has ever came to my house ever since I found this place.

I fingered comb my hair as I grabbed the doorknob and pulled it open.

"Hannah...?" I reacted, surprise to see her standing there on the porch. I stepped out of my house. "What are you doing here? I never told you where I live," I said, closing the front door behind me.

Hannah giggled. "Let's just say that I had a hunch," she replied with a bright smile. "So... what are you doing this morning?" she asked.

I shrugged. "Nothing... Except I need to do some grocery shopping. My fridge is almost empty, and I don't have anything to eat this morning," I answered, looping my hair around my index finger, noticing something, or someone, is missing. "Where's Zach?"

"Oh, he's over at my place," Hannah told me, still smiling. "My dad let me invite some friends over for breakfast. Would you like to come?" Her smile didn't leave her face.

I thought about it for a while. "...sure. Just let me get my shoes on." I walked into the house. I slip on my shoes, tying the laces, getting them tight so my shoes won't fall off. However, I still feel like something isn't right... like... something is still roaming around the neighborhood. Something that is... annoying.

Shaking the feeling away, I stepped out of the house, shutting the front door again. "Let's go..." I said softly.

"Great!" Hannah beamed. She walked off the porch and I went with her.

While I kept thinking about that something is off, I heard Slappy's voice in my head.

You're friends betrayed you... just like papa did to me...

When I heard those words, a question came into my mind. If my friends did betrayed me, then why did Hannah invite me to her house like I'm doing now? I then remembered something else. I was supposed to leave them right after the monster invasion. I sighed. Oh well, I'll leave them someday. I don't know when, though... For now, I'll hang out with my 'friends' and see what will happen...

"Hazel?"

"Huh?" I looked over at Hannah. "Yeah?" I questioned.

"Are you okay?" she asked. "You seem to be... I don't know... out of it."

I shook my head. "Oh. No... no. I was just...thinking..."

"About what?" she said.

I rubbed the back of my neck. "I feel like something, or someone, is still roaming around town... Like... we forgot one of the monsters..."

"What do you mean? We got every monster."

"...I don't know. Maybe I'm not thinking straight."

Hannah laughed. "You probably need something to eat." She grabbed my hand, and I flinched. "Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized, letting my hand drop to my side. "I forget that you don't like physical contact."

"It's fine..." I sighed as we continued on our way to her house.

"Is there a reason why you don't like to be touched?" Hannah replied.

Her question hit me like a rock on my chest. "Um... Uh... It's a long story. It's from my childhood."

"Mind if you tell me?"

I shook my head. "I had mentioned that I would tell my story someday when I'm ready. In fact, when we were at the graveyard, Stine asked me if I could tell it to him, asking me if I had foster parents since, well, I don't have real parents anymore. And just when I was about to tell him, we were being chased by ghouls at that place..." I kicked a piece of sidewalk out of my way. "...like I said, it's a long story."

"Hey, you can tell about your childhood when ever you want," Hannah accepted, then sighed. "I wish you could smile..."

"And that's never gonna happen," I responded. "I used to be a happy, happy person until what happened to me..." I kicked another broken piece of the sidewalk. "Can we change the subject?" I asked. "Are you and Zach now... dating?"

I can feel her grin next to me. "Yep, and so is my dad."

"Stine is dating, too?" I said. "Who is he dating?"

"Lorraine," she simply answered. "He's also the new English teacher at the high school, and I just started school ever since he took that job."

"Have you ever been to school?"

She shook her head. "I've been homeschooled my whole life," she explained. "Ever since my dad created-" She stopped. "Oh... I'm not sure if you knew this or not, but I was a..."

"Ghost?" I finished for her. "I saw it when we were heading to the storage room... You glowing this ghostly blue. Are you... still a ghost?" I asked hesitantly, as if I was offending her. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked..."

"That's okay. My dad wrote me back where I can now age with Zach and my friends, like Taylor, Champ, and you."

"Who's Taylor?" I asked.

"Champ's new girlfriend," Hannah replied. "Her other boyfriend abandoned her when the werewolf got to them, and he, well... He ran off like a... coward. So Champ saved her."

I nodded. "That's nice of him..."

"Speaking of school," Hannah brought up. "We haven't seen you at school at all. Do you go to school?"

I gritted my teeth a little, letting out a breath out of my nose. "I used to go to school... Then I quit," I told her.

"Why?" she questioned.

"Long story," I simply responded, my mind flashing back to the days of school.

When we got to her place, she let me inside the house. "My dad knows it's you," she said, leading me to the dining room, where I saw everyone sitting down with plates of breakfast food in front of them. "Hey, guys," Hannah greeted, taking me over to the table. "I brought Hazel over, dad," she said to Stine.

Stine grinned. "Hello, Hazel," he greeted warmly. "Would you like to join us? I made blueberry pancakes. That is... if you like blueberry pancakes."

"I do..." I said, spotting an empty seat next to him that is across the table from Champ. "Um... thanks for inviting me," I added as I sat down. "It was... very nice of you to do that."

"You're welcome," Stine smiled.

"Hannah told me that you and Lorraine are dating. Just like Zach and Hannah, as well as Champ and Taylor." I picked up my fork when I look up to see Champ's girlfriend smiling at me. "Are you Taylor?" I asked.

"That's right," she gleamed. "My friends and my boyfriend told me about you on how you helped save the town from the monsters."

"I didn't help that much..." I put a piece of pancake in my mouth, chewed, and swallowed. "All I did was told everyone about my plan, as well as defended everyone from the Sadler ghosts. I even tried to stop Slappy from opening the other books... but he ended up biting me."

"Oh, my gosh," she gasped. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm... I'm fine," I reassured her.

"Are the words still on you?" Stine asked in a serious manner mixed with concern.

I shrugged. "I haven't checked... I think the words are not there anymore."

"You know," Taylor spoke up. "Even though this the first time I've met you, I never seen you... happy."

"Taylor," Champ said. "Don't offend her."

"It's okay. I used to be happy until what happened to me," I said, not offended at all.

"What happened?" she asked.

"...I don't want to talk about it. At least when I'm ready." I also want to know if you guys are really are my friends... But I didn't say that last part as I finished eating. "I'm going to put this in the dishwasher," I offered, getting up from the table, heading to the kitchen.

As I put my plate and fork in the dishwasher, I still had that strange feeling that something isn't right. Not only do I feel like we missed a monster, but I got the feeling of something... else. And I'm not sure what it is.

I walked back into the dining room and sat back down at my seat, putting my cheek on my hand, and Zach seemed to notice my behavior. "Is something wrong, Hazel?" he asked.

"Nothing. I'm just... thinking," I answered. "I feel like we forgot one of the monsters..."

Champ nodded. "I had that same feeling. Not only that, did any of you see any of the Horrors from one of the Goosebumps books?" he said.

Zach raised a brow. "Not that I know of..." he spoke, finishing his plate. "And what do you mean that we forgot about one of the monsters?" he directed towards me. "We got every monster in town when I finished the book." He kept his brow up then lowered it. "I swear that we got every monster..." he mused in thought.

"Actually, Hazel is right to have that feeling," Stine suddenly spoke up. "I... did forgot about one monster. One annoying one, to be exact." He took a deep breath, letting it out. "As I was walking down the school hallway, I saw my typewriter... typing. On it's own. It spelled out T-H-E-I-N-I-S-I-B-L-E-B-O-Y-'S-R-E-V-E-N-G-E. The Invisible Boy's Revenge..." he said in a mysterious voice. "And when you mention the book that has the Horrors is that...well... it wasn't on the shelf..."

"What do you mean?" Champ squeaked. "I thought that Slappy had that book along with the others."

"Champ..." Stine started.

But the boy kept on talking. "Maybe it was on the shelf, and Slappy unlocked it somewhere else..."

"Champ-"

"And if he did that means that the Horrors are still roaming-"

"Champion! I will hot glue your lips together if you don't let me finish!" Stine threatened, getting the kid to be quiet. "Like I said, it wasn't on the shelf because it had already been unlocked. And not from Slappy, from me." He pointed at himself. "I wanted to make something else besides monsters," he began to tell his story. "The Horrors are from the book titled One Day At Horrorland. Or as I like to call it... A Scream Park. It was back in February of nineteen ninety-four... I wanted to make something more than just monsters...

'This seems like a perfect spot,' I said as I walked right out of the woods, the book in my hand, the key in the other. 'I can unlock my book here, and see what happens.'

"...I just only wanted to see what would happen if I made something more than just monsters," Stine continued his story. "I unlock the book... and it happened...

The book flew out of my hands, landing on the ground of the large, very large, empty fields that is all dirt with bits of plants on the ground. I watched as all the terrifying rides like The Tunnel Of Screams, The Doom Slide, The House Of Mirrors, everything. Including the furry green monsters called Horrors that came out of the book.

All was going fine until they turned to me. 'Hey, who are you?' one of them gruffed at me.

'I'm R.L. Stine,' I answered. 'And if you're wondering, I'd only did this so I know what would happen if I made more than just monsters.'

'Oh, is that all?' the Horror asked, rubbing one of his horns. 'Well, thanks for letting us free. All of us Horrors can run the park and scare the life out of humans.' He chuckled deep in his throat.

'Actually...' I rubbed the back of my head. 'I just only wanted to see if I can make more than just monsters... I'm not letting you guys free, just to see what happens,' I explained. I went to grab for the book, but one of the Horrors took it away. 'Hey!' I exclaimed.

'So you only let us out just to see what would happen!?' the largest Horror roared, anger burning in his eyes. 'We're not going back in...'

'Yes, you are!' I proclaimed. 'Give me that book!' I jumped for it, but the Horror who is bigger than any other of the other ones, pushed me onto the ground.

'We're not going back in,' he repeated with a snarl. 'We're going to run this park forever, and you will never lock us up again.'

I got up off the ground, seeing the Horrors running to the gates with the book in one of their hands. 'Wait!' I called out, running to catch them and the book. I stopped when they disappeared out of sight. Even the rides. How is that possible? 'I will get you,' I vowed, grabbing the key off the dirt floor. I then turned, and headed for home.

"And that's how it all started," Stine finished his story, putting his glass of apple juice on the table. "I only wanted to see what would happen, and when I told the Horrors what I was doing, they got mad and ran off with the book. And somehow they were gone, including everything. I don't know how, though, but I believe they moved the park further down the woods."

"Do you think the Invisible Boy is there?" Hannah asked.

"I believe so," he nodded, getting up from the table. "He left when I tried to stop him. At least he didn't take the typewriter."

"So... we have to go Horrorland?" I said, getting up from my seat. "To stop the Boy and the Horrors?"

"That's right. We'll do it tonight," he confirmed.

"Why not open the book that you wrote that we captured the monsters with?" Champ suggested, not liking the idea of going to Horrorland.

Zack blinked at him. "And release Slappy and all of the other monsters?" he said. "Get real, Champ. That idea that you came up is pretty stupid."

Champ slumped in his seat. "I just don't wanna go to Horrorland. It's a terrifying place..." he whimpered. Taylor rubbed his shoulder.

"Well, we can't just sit here and let that Boy do his thing," I declared, slamming my hands on the table. "We are not letting those monsters get away. We stopped Slappy, and now we have to stop the Invisible Boy before he causes trouble... Unless he did."

"Hazel's got a point," Stine agreed. "Come on, let's stop that menace and get that book back, as well. When we find the book, I can trap the Horrors. And if I'm lucky, the Boy will get trapped in that same book, even if he wasn't in the book at all."

"Wait, so we are going?" Zach asked.

Stine nodded. "Yes," he answered. "We're going..." He leaned forward. "Tonight."

"If you don't mind, I would rather not go," Taylor declined. She got up and gave Champ a kiss. "Good luck stopping the monsters," she said in a hopeful tone of voice.

His face turned pink. "Thanks. I need it," he replied back.

Taylor said goodbye and left the house. I, however, told everyone that I had to do something first. "In case we're there all night, I need to bring stuff for us to survive," I said. "Then I'll meet you guys here."

"Okay. We'll see you later tonight, best friend," Hannah responded.

I stopped when I heard her say 'best friend'. "See you later..." I replied as I couldn't believe what she said to me. Best friend? Nah. No one is my friend nor my best friend. But... why am I hanging out with them? I guess I wanted to make them feel... happy. I did a small sigh. Maybe when we stop the Horrors and the Invisible Boy, that's when I'll leave them. Besides, Slappy said that they betrayed me... Just like the kids back in school before I quit years ago.

I walked out of the house to my house, so I can get everything ready.

Later that night, I slipped on my old backpack since I had as a small child. My school bag to be exact that I had since when I used to go to school. I walked out the door, heading over to Stine's place just like I promised.

My shoes echoed with each step I took on the sidewalk. I can hear my own voice talking to me. However, I did my best to ignore it. Only it wasn't that easy when I began to hear that evil dummy's voice replacing that other voice that I always hear.

Papa and your friends betrayed you... just like he did to me...

I shook his voice out my mind, telling my own self that he only said that to make me feel bad... But like I mentioned, when we stop these monsters, I'm just going to leave my 'friends' forever.

And I hope we get that pesky Invisible Boy.

And that's a promise to myself.

When I arrived at Stine's house, everyone was waiting for me. Seeing them made me do a soft sigh. I walked to them, feeling my sadness and depression sink into me like it always does.

"Ready?" Stine asked once I got over there, trying my best not to let anyone see how sad or hopeless I look. We all nodded. "Let's go. Since I don't have a car anymore, we're just going to have to walk to get to Horrorland."

"Can't you just get a new car?" Champ whined. "I don't wanna walk to that creepy amusement park."

"I would, but I won't get a new car in several months," the writer answered, ignoring Champ's whiney voice. "We're walking there, and we're going to find that book so I can trap the Horrors, get the rides, and maybe the Invisible Boy who's a menace," he slightly griped. "Now let's get moving. The sooner we find the book, the sooner I'll trap the Horrors and the Boy."

And the sooner that I can leave you guys, I thought as we all began to follow Stine.

As we walked, Zach asked me something. "What did you pack?"

"Things we need in case we're going to be there all night," I replied, not feeling very confident for no apparent reason, and he seemed to notice my mood.

"Is something wrong...?" he asked.

Yes, there is something wrong. Slappy says that you guys betrayed me, meaning that you're only pretending to be my friends. I wanted to say that, but I gave him this answer instead. "I just want to get this over with."

"So do we," he chuckled, taking Hannah's hand once we got into the woods. I heard Champ mumbling to himself who's behind us. Zach looked behind him, seeing how slow his best friend is. "Champ, let's go, dude," he rushed.

"I'm going to head back," he said, stopping. "I'm not going to that place. It's scary."

"Champ, come on," Hannah urged as all three of us stopped. "You have to come with us," she insisted, letting go of her boyfriend's hand, walking up to the awkward teen. "I don't think Horrorland is that bad."

"You'll be surprised," he scoffed, crossing his arms. "I'm staying right here. Besides, I'll only slow you guys down anyway," he added. However, Zach grabbed his arm, and we started walking again, catching up with Stine. "Dude, let go." Champ tried to break free. "Dude, I'm serious. I don't want to go to that place. Have you read the book?" But Zach didn't let go, he just kept his grip on Champ's arm. "Dude, I said let go." Champ yanked his arm free, making us stop again. Including Stine. "I don't want to go," he said.

"Is this a fear thing?" Zach asked him. "Because all of us are scared to go to this... scary park."

I looked over at Stine. He was tapping his foot impatiently. I looked over at Champ. "Just come on," I said.

Champ sighed. "...fine," he mumbled.

We continued our way to Horrorland. "How do we know if we're close to Horrorland or not?" I questioned as we got deeper and deeper into the woods. An owl hooted, making Champ yelp.

"I don't wanna walk anymore," he complained. "I don't know how much more walking I can take... I wanna go home in my bed where it's safe."

"You're acting like a baby," I insulted. He gave me a hurt look. "Sorry, but you are acting like one," I said.

"Hazel, you don't understand. I'm weak all the time. I can only do so much. Even walking makes my legs hurt," he kept on complaining. "My gym grades aren't that good, and next year I have to retake that class because of it."

"Is that why you didn't land perfectly when we jumped over the fence to see if Hannah is alright or not?" Zach joked.

"...not funny..." Champ muttered with slight anger.

That's when we saw a sign that read: Horrorland... Only fifteen miles away! Champ turned around when he saw the sign, and Zach grabbed his arm again. "I have no choice, do I?" he said to himself as Zach forced him in front of us, only for him to stop.

"Come on, dude." Zach was now getting impatient. "It's only fifteen miles away," he told him.

"I'm going home," Champ exclaimed, refusing to go any further. "I don't want to slow guys down." We then saw Stine walked over to us, grabbing Champ by the ear. "Hey-!" Stine ignored him as he pulled him down the path, not letting go of his ear, keeping a tight grip. "Ow! Stine!"

"Hazel says we need to stop these creeps," Stine hissed harshly. "We're not getting out of this mess once I find that book and suck those monsters and everything. We're in this together, kid."

While Stine kept a good grip on the teen's ear, we kept on moving. I actually can't wait to get this over with... Then I'll leave these people alone. Besides... I'm... worthless. As well as nothing and useless... I shifted my backpack, feeling the weight of it, reminding me of the stuff I pact for this 'trip'.

"Get out of my face, you make me sick!"

I gasp, jumping back when I saw a vision of my flashback came to me that made my heart go up to my throat. But... how can that be? I only get that when I have nightmares from my past childhood.

"Come on, ugly girl! Do something!"

Another one... the day where I stopped and quit school...

"You're useless."

I put my hands on my head, the memories flooding back to me, clenching my eyes shut.

"No one wants to be your friend. Besides, who wants to be your friend? Oh, that's right. Nobody."

What's happening to me...? These are the memories that I try to get away from...

"Are you alright, Hazel?" I jumped when Hannah approached me as I lowered my hands to my sides. "Are you alright?" she repeated, her eyes giving me a worried look.

I sucked in a breath and let it out slowly. "Y-Yeah..." I answered slowly. "I'm... fine. I just had... flashbacks..."

"...about what?" she asked, her eyes still filled with concern.

"About-" I suddenly stopped, now thinking that she may not believe me. "...it's nothing," I sighed, shaking my head.

"Are you sure...?" she questioned.

"I'm fine," I insisted. "Now come on, we have to catch up with the others before your dad gets mad at us."

Hannah nodded. "Okay." She turned, gazed at me, and started jogging. I jogged right after her. Her concerned look never left her face right before she went up to catch up with the others.

"There it is..." Stine let go of Champ's ear, who began to rub the pain away, which was red and looks pretty swore. I had a lot more pain then having my ear being pulled. "Horrorland," he breathed out.

I look up at the sign that read: Welcome To Horrorland- Where Nightmares Come To Life!

We're here... At Horrorland.

Stine went over to the gates, opening them. "Let's go," he said. We walked in, but Champ stayed in his spot. Stine glared at the boy. "Don't make me pull you by the ear again, kid," Stine warned in a threatening tone, sounding like someone that I know. Champ whimpered, walking through the gates that is held open. When Stine released the gates, they slammed shut.

We all looked around. It sent a chill down my spine. I heard Champ swallow. "This is scarier then the book cover..." he whimpered. He then screamed when another owl made a hoot sound, which shocked me.

"Is that your scream?" I said.

"Don't judge me," Champ replied. "Guys, I want to go home," he begged. He turned to the gates, grabbing them. "Hey, they won't open!" he cried, freaking out, tugging at the gates.

"They do open." Stine walked over to him, pulling him away from the gates. "But we're not leaving until I find that book and trap the monsters in it. And I hope I get that Invisible Boy," he said. "Try to be brave when you fought that werewolf to defend your new girlfriend." He grabbed Champ by the front of his shirt, pulling him away from the entrance as we followed him.

"Oh yeah, this me being brave," Champ started to complain. "Being dragged into a park full of scary rides. Roller coasters and everything. I wanna be in my bed, and-"

"Will you stop it!?" Zach snapped, which made Champ shut up for now, making him whimper.

All Champ could muster out was, "Sorry."

"Wait," I spoke, and everyone stopped. "How do we know where the Boy is? He's invisible."

"She has a point," Hannah agreed.

"Well..." Stine began. "If you feel breathing or see any of the Horrors talking to someone that isn't there... that means it's the Invisible Boy."

"Speaking of Horrors..." Zach pointed behind Stine, and we all saw a green fury Horror with short yellow horns coming at us. Champ yelped in fear, hiding behind Stine for protection.

"Welcome to Horrorland!" the Horror greeted in a gruff like voice. "Where nightmares come to life! Would you like to try our games or our rides? We have lots of scares that can make you get goosebumps."

"Please don't say that word..." Champ shivered from behind Stine. "I don't even wanna think about goosebumps."

Stine stepped forward. "We're not here to have fun in this terrifying amusement park," he proclaimed. "I'm here for that book. The one that you stole from me. And when we find it, I'm putting you all monsters and everything, including the Boy. Even if he wasn't in that book that I release you monsters from."

The Horror's yellow eyes flashed. "We're not going back in the book..." he snarled, "because the Invisible Boy knew you were coming..." He leaned forward. "...and he has a challenge for you."

"What challenge?" Zach stepped forward and asked.

"Where's the Boy?" Hannah demanded.

The Horror let out a growly laugh. I picked up a rock off the ground, hitting him on the chest with it. "Hey!" he yelled, rubbing his chest, glaring at me. "Why'd you do that?" he exclaimed.

"To get you to shut the hell up," I talked back, swearing a bit. "Tell us where the Boy is, and what challenge he has for us."

"Oh, you have to see him to find out..." the Horror sneered. That's when several more Horrors came, grabbing us. I did my best to break free from physical contact, only they were too strong. "Let's take them to the Invisible Boy," he declared. The Horrors dragged us to a small building, throwing us into a room that barely has stuff in it. "Here they are, sir," the Horror said to no one that isn't there. "Stine and his friends are here... the ones that trapped all the monsters in the book and forgot about you."

A giggle came in front of us by the wall. "Thank you, Byron," a minion like voice spoke which, again, is in front of us. We heard footsteps coming over to us. "It's so nice to see you again..." The footsteps stopped. "...father..."

"Nice to see you again, Boy," Stine greeted with sarcasm. "I- Wait, where are you?" he asked.

"I'm in front of you," the Boy answered in a dull voice. He let out another giggle. "You know... it was pretty funny where I ended up pulling the stupid kid's tie in the car."

"You nearly pulled me out of the window!" Champ cried out.

"And it wasn't funny, either," I added.

"Aw boo-hoo-hoo," he mocked. "I knew you guys would come here..."

"The Horror, which you call Byron, told us," Hannah said. "And you have a challenge for us, is that right?"

"That's right..." Even though we couldn't see him, we can tell that he was smiling.

"We don't need a challenge," Stine spoke up. "Tell me where the book is so I can trap all of you in it."

"And why would I tell you?" the Boy questioned. "The challenge is for how long you can survive here. If you guys win, all of the Horrors, the rides, everything, including me will go into the book. But if you lose, you'll have to stay in this park... forever. Hahaha!" he laughed.

"That's it?" I asked. "That's the whole challenge? Just to see if we won't die in this park?"

"Well... no," he answered. "You also have to go on some... rides," he grinned.

Champ gulped. "Rides?"

"Just a few of them," the Boy said. "You can go on any ride you want. But all of you have to go on them. Got it?"

"Do we have a choice?" Champ mumbled, not liking the idea at all. There was no answer. "Hello?" he called out. Still no answer. "Hey, where's that invisible monster?"

"He left," Zach said. "That's... creepy. It's like he... vanished. Well, he is invisible..." Zach looked over at Stine. "I can't believe you created him."

"I can't believe we have to do this challenge," Stine replied back. "In fact, as we're doing this challenge, we can also look for the book..."

"I don't wanna go on any rides!" Champ whined. "I hate rides! Even kiddie ones!"

"How are you afraid of kiddie rides?" I asked.

"Don't judge me," he repeated from earlier. Then he looked at Stine. "Don't make me go on any rides," he pleaded. "I remember when I was six, being on a carousel, thinking, 'My life is over'." He waved his arms dramatically like he did back in Stine's basement of his house.

Stine grabbed him by the front of his shirt again. "We have no choice, Champion," he seethed through his teeth, saying the kid's full name. "As we're doing the challenge, maybe we can find that book. Got it?"

"Y-Yes, sir," Champ stuttered and Stine let go of him.

"Come on, we don't have time to waste. We need to pass this challenge to see if we can survive this place." Stine walked over to the door, holding it open for us, waiting.

We all walked out of the door, ready for the challenge. "Now," Stine began. "To the first ride." He began walking, with us right behind him. Zach and Hannah had to grab Champ by his arms, while I was right behind Stine, forcing him to walk with us.

The challenge has just begun. And another thing...

Will we survive all night at this park? Well, soon enough, we found out.
