Terror Trouble
Beta: aLpha sKy
Chapter 5
Suddenly, two pairs of eyes, green and yellow, glints menacingly in the dark.
"WUAAA!" Hao screams at the top of his lungs and runs as fast as his legs will take him, stopping only when he trips down.
"Ouch… What the…" He pauses when he sees the huge lump of hair and clothes that tripped him over.
"Horo Horo…?" he whispers carefully.
"Hey, Horo Horo, what the heck are you doing here?" Hao says incredulously, looking at Horo Horo, whom he shook violently into a conscious state.
Horo Horo stares blankly at thin air, his mouth opened slightly in an idiotic expression.
"HORO HORO!" Hao shouts right on his left ear. Horo Horo jumps two feet in the air, his eyes widening like it will pop out any second.
"Ouch! Ghosts,ghosts,devils. God,please help me!" The spiky-haired boy mumbles to himself, clutching his chest for dear life. Then he looked at the sniggering Hao and snapped, "Hey that hurts! What did you do that for!"
"I did it for your own sake. I couldn't just leave you gaping like an idiot," Hao says, still sniggering.
"I know. But you don't have to shout that loud. I think my eardrum's gonna break…"
"Hahaha… Anyway, what the heck are you doing here?"
Horo Horo blinked, as if he just realizes his own whereabouts, and he quickly gets to his feet.
"Hey, where are the others? They left me right here alone!"
"What happened, really?" Has asks, ignoring the question.
"Ok, here goes…" Horo Horo begins summarizing what happened in full speed just to get it over with.
Flashback…
"Huh?" Everyone stopped laughing and watched the 'thing' moving forward until it became the blurry shadow of a person.
"WAAAAA!"
Everyone ran and ran, including Horo Horo
"Hegh hegh.. I think we've lose it" Chocolove said between his ragged breaths.
The others were doing the same action as Horo Horo.
But suddenly, they all heard a very faint voice, but not so faint that it still echoed around them in an eerie clarity. It was a scream, distressed, frightened, and terrifying.
They all began stampeding again, leaving a sole member alone.
Horo Horo stared helplessly at his friends, scattering away like there was a mad person wearing hockey mask and an electric chainsaw chasing them (come to think of it, probably what wasn't very far away).Forget running away, Horo Horo was to scared to even move a muscle. Attacked by nervous breakdown and by a natural instinct saving him from the eternal humiliation of wetting his pants, Horo Horo fainted.
End of flashback…
Hao drops to the floor and rolls around laughing, hands clutching his stomach, "so that's what happened. You're all scared because of my screaming."
"Yeah! It was because of you, you prick!" Horo Horo glowered until the other guy forces himself to stop laughing. "Hey, but then why did you scream anyway?"
Hao's face turns a healthy blush of red. "It's none of your business!"
"OK then. I don't really care anyway."
"Well, I guess we should just head to the exit door," Hao suggests, pointing at the shining outline of a door not so far from the both of them, standing like the gate of salvation.
"OK" Horo Horo says, and they walk together toward the door.
Suddenly
Like the gripping hands of a childhood nightmare that wakes you up from deep sleep to find yourself shaking and sweating and wide-eyed, the voice of a howling wolf, clear in its own piercing way, fills the air.
The two guys froze. The door was just meters away, but their feet refuse to move even an inch. "He-he-hey. Wh-wha-what's th-th-tha-that so-sou-sound?" Horo Horo stuttered, his face chalk-pale.
They both turned their heads around, and…
….
A pair of green eyes comes out from the dark, moving closer and closer to where Hao and Horo Horo are standing.
They look at each other in the unity attained only by those who share the same feeling of terror.
"WUAAAAA!NOOO!" Screaming all the way, they ran clumsily, tripped, and scrambled to the exit door stumbling over one another in record-breaking time.
…….
The howl voices itself again.
A tall figure comes out from the dark, along with a very short one and another tall one.
"Auuuu….Woof! Woof!"
"Frankensteiny! Come here, boy!" the tall figure coaxes, stepping into a lighter ground.
It is Faust, and Manta, and Eliza.
"That's weird. I'm sure they ran this way," Manta says, using a hand as a visor while looking around.
"Well, guess they've gone to the exit," concludes Faust.
Flashback…
Suddenly, two pairs of eyes, green and yellow, glints menacingly in the dark.
"WUAAA!" Hao screams at the top of his lungs and runs as fast as his legs will take him.
Meanwhile, Manta is left alone.
The dark figures advanced closer and closer to Manta.
"Hey Manta. Have you seen Yoh and the others?" the figure asked.
Manta breathed again and looked up at the familiar face. "Oh, it's you Faust. What're you doing here?"
"I heard that you guys came to this amusement park. So I decided to come along."
"Oh... Let's go find them then," Manta said.
End of Flashback…
In the morning, the rest of the gang are more or less bewildered when they find Hao and Horo Horo in a tangled heap in front of the exit door.
"Huh? Why do they sleep in this kind of place? Wouldn't futon be more comfortable?" Yoh smiles his trademark lazy smile at the boys.
"Just don't forget that you were also running and screaming like a girl inside, Yoh."
