Chapter 2 Through the Floor

When they had finally reached their destination Brooke was hesitant.

"Hey, we saw it, um, maybe we should go back, there-" she paused and looked for and excuse, "there could be a psycho in there! Or, or, or a murder or something really damn scary!"

Haley and Evy both turned around looking doubtful then both said in unison,

"Bullshit."

Then they grabbed Brooke's arms and pulled her with them until they reached the door. Brooke retrieved the flashlights and one of the camera's from the backpack then pushed the door open, both Evy and Haley holding their flashlights over their heads, for their reason of 'just in case'.

There was an eerie silence about the room as they walked into it. Evy and Haley both lowered their flashlights and switched them on, the light cascading onto the floor. The floor creaked loudly as the stepped further into the room, now in the sitting room. Evy took the camera that Brooke had and started snapping pictures of everything she found interesting in each room then going upstairs.

"Hey, wait for us Evy!" Brooke yelled after her and followed her up, as did Haley. The stairs creaked and squeaked softly while they walked. Evy stopped in an empty room and walked very slowly into it, she was intrigued by it. Brooke tried to grab her arm but Evy withdrew it from her reach. Haley also walked into the room, then Brooke cautiously. The floor groaned under their weight and dust was drifting about the air.

"Wow, this place must've been extremely old. Look at some of this stuff. Wow. Hmm, guys we better be very gentle and slow with this room, it could break any second-" Brooke sneezed loudly.

"Dusty in here, yea, we have to be careful where we step. I bet almost all these floorboards are rotten." Haley nodded barely taken in a word of it and walked to the next room. She looked in it, the whole floor was covered in shattered glass and burnt out candles with visible scorch marks on the walls.

She walked to the middles of the room and stopped then turned around to look at the badly scorched but otherwise blank, wall. Evy looked about for Haley and Brooke followed her, she too wondered where their friend had went. They peered into the room she was in and Brooke stepped in.

Haley whispered to them, "Guys, come here and look at this wall, watch the candles and glass." Evy and Brooke walked to the middle of the room to where she was. The boards bent under the weight, it seemed this room was ready to go down. Just as Haley went to touch the wall they stared at the floorboards broke and they all fell into complete darkness while screaming their heads off.

"HOLY SHIT, " shrieked Haley.

"AHHHHHH, " screamed Brooke.

"OH MY FREAKIN' GOD, " Evy screeched.

Each of the girls hit something very hard when they landed and blacked out.

Brooke groaned in pain and slowly tried to get up. "Ugh. Evy? Haley? W-where are you?"

She reached out to grab hold of something to help her get up when a pair of bony yet very strong hands pulled her up. While upright she looked right into the face of a tall skeleton who smiled and said, "Are you all right Miss?"

Her eyes widened but out of respect she replied in a trembling tone. "Y-yes I'm fine, I-I think. Thanks." She smiled and tried to get up, but ended up falling backwards onto the ground.

The skeleton held out his hand again and she held onto it as she got up, her legs we not yet sturdy enough to hold her weight after her fall, and as a result she fell again. The skeleton smiled again.

"Well, it seems your not all right. You can't even walk on your own legs. If I was human, I probably wouldn't be able to walk either, after falling out of the sky and landing back first on a tombstone. I guess I better carry you to the doctor than."

He picked her up (bridal style). "By the way, I'm Jack. My full title is Jack Skellington. What's your name?"

"Brooke. Can I ask you a few questions Jack?" She blushed slightly while he carried her out of the graveyard. She saw a town coming into view and the large metal gates that blocked each outside entrance.

"Sure, but can it wait until after the doctor checks if you're okay. You could've broken something when you fell." Brooke smiled an assuring smile as they entered the gates.
