Take My Breath Away

Chapter Six: Haunted House
THE AMUSEMENTPARK
I held onto Miki's hand as we walked past the ticket booth and into the amusement park. I was wearing a short jean skirt with a thin long sleeved shirt that had a v-line and a hoodie on the back of the shirt. Under the shirt, I had a tank top on to cover my cleavage, to be conservative and to top it off I had on heavy brown sandals. Tomoyo and Eriol were walking ahead of us deciding what ride to go on first; Li and Megumi were behind us. I had to make sure that Li saw me with Miki. I looked behind us and saw Megumi clinging onto Li's arm. I frowned.
"If you want to make him jealous, don't look at him every five minutes." Miki said as we continued to walk on.
"I am not trying to make him jealous." I stated. He just laughed.
"Hey guys, let's go in the Haunted House!" Eriol shouted, pointing at the tall scary building that had a huge demon on top of the building with red glowing eyes. I just gaped at it.
"Oh Syaoran! How scary! Hold me!" Megumi squealed and squeezed him even harder, if that is possible.
"Great…" muttered Li.
"Are you up for it?" Miki asked me with an amused look. I stared at him with my mouth open.
"Come on Sakura! It'll be fun!" Tomoyo said grabbing a hold of me and pulling me towards the front entrance.
"Wait Tomoyo! Why don't we go on the a…the a…uh…" I couldn't think of anything to say.
"Oh Sakura, don't be such a baby." Tomoyo pushed me in front of the ticket booth.
"Yea Sakura, it's all fake." Li said as he brushed past me with Megumi right next to him. I glared at him and slapped my ticket onto the booth and walked in right after him. 'That stupid fool, we'll see what happens. I'm no baby.'
"You know, I think Tomoyo did you a favor," I felt someone walk next to me, "She probably picked this place so you can be scared and have Li protect you."
"Yea right Miki, your sister is all over him. He wouldn't even notice." I muttered as we walked into the dark narrow hallway. It was damp and cold and there was mist on the floor.
"Well then, I'll protect you." Miki replied as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I stared up at him, but I could only see his silhouette. I'm sure he doesn't like me; he's just being a friend. I'm sure of it.
The narrow hallway was made of stone and it echoed; every drip seemed louder than it should have. Either the dripping came from water, or blood; I hoped it was water. I felt small in this place of darkness. Each step we took echoed as well and it smelt of something that was rotting. The hallway ended with two ways out, a door on the left and one on the right.
"Should we split up?" Tomoyo asked as we stopped and stared at the two doors.
"We should stay together." I said timidly.
"Oh let's go by ourselves Syaoran!" Megumi said dragging him through the right door.
"Wait!" Li said as he disappeared into the never ending darkness of door number one.
"Come on Miki! Let's go this way!" I dragged him through the left door.
"Oh dear." I could hear Tomoyo say as we left them to choose their own destination.
THE LEFT DOOR
"You sure that was the right thing to do?" Miki asked me.
"I don't know…" I frowned as the door slammed behind us. Suddenly there was a flash of red light and I saw what the room looked like for a second. There were piles of dead bodies lying limp on the stone floor, with puddles of blood everywhere. I screamed and held onto Miki as tight as I could. The bloody light flashed again and I saw one of the bodies move.
"Miki! Miki did you see that!" I screamed again pointing at the dead body.
"Wow." Was all he could say. The light flashed again and the body was crawling toward us slowly with his joints popping from the unnatural way it was moving.
"Miki let's go back! I change my mind! Let's go back!" I kept on saying, but I couldn't move. I waited for the light to flash again to guide us, but it never came.
"This is a pretty cool haunted house." Miki said calmly.
"How can you say that right now!" I demanded of him. How could he be so still and calm? "The light is coming back! What do we—AAAAHHH!" Something grabbed my ankle and pulled it. I fell back on my butt. "Something's got me! SOMETHING'S GOT ME!" I shouted as I tried to grab a hold of Miki, but I couldn't see him. It started dragging me slowly across the floor and my clothes were getting soaked from the puddles. "Miki! Miki help!" I screamed as it started to pull me faster away. I turned my body around so I could crawl away, but it only pulled me faster down the corridor.
Suddenly the flashing light came back on and I couldn't see Miki anywhere, and I was still being dragged away. I dug my nails into the floor, but they only got chipped and it didn't slow me down at all.
I kept on screaming, hoping something would happen. It finally let go and I crawled away from it, I got up and started running back to the door where we came from, but I couldn't see anything at all. I stopped and waited for the light to flash again, it did, and I didn't recognize where I was. I was in a room with a mattress on the floor. I stared at it. I looked behind me and saw a curtain. Bingo!
I saw the curtain for only a second because the flash already left. I started walking towards it until I heard a loud noise all around me. It sounded like a chainsaw. I stopped and listen. It was a chainsaw! I started to panic; I didn't know where it was coming from. It sounded like it was coming closer to me. The light flashed again and I saw a figure standing on the mattress, with something huge in his hand-the chainsaw. Feathers flew everywhere as he drove the chainsaw thru it. I screamed and ran towards the curtain; I flung it open and ran into the next room, blindly. The chainsaw died away and I could only hear a faint sound of it.
As I stumbled into the next room I felt something sticky and thin cling against my face. I clumsily brushed it off, but it stuck to my fingers. The red light flashed again and I saw that I was covered in spider webs, with spiders and dead flies still on them. I let out a small scream as I tried to get it off of me.
"Please, I want out of this place!" I sobbed as I walked forward, trying to find a way out of this stupid place. "Tomoyo! Hiiragizawa! Miki! Li!" I shouted, hoping someone would find me. Maybe even Megumi, but that's pushing it.
I got sick and tired of these stupid rooms; I wasn't going anywhere until someone found me. I felt for the wall and started banging against it and shouted, hoping someone would come. The red light flashed again and I saw another door, a small door on the side with a small neon sign above it. It said 'EXIT'. I cried. I finally found a way out. As I reached my hand out to open the beautiful door, I heard a voice.
"None shall pass." The deep voice said to me. I looked around, but no one was in here with me. I ignored it and laid my hand on the cool metal bar that would let me out to my ever so deserving freedom. "None shall pass." It said once more. I glared, that stupid voice was annoying me. Well he could kiss my butt. "That door is for emergencies only." It said to me. I stomped my foot.
"THIS IS AN EMERGANCY YOU IDIOT!" I shouted and pushed the door open and felt the warm breeze rush against me.
