Horror Writing 2 [June 1st, 2014]

In the room, there was a variety of instruments. There was a harp, piano, bass, violin, and there were even some instruments that were smashed into nothing but a pile of splinters on the floor.

"Well, there's nothing in here," Red stated nervously. "Let'sjustgetouttahereIdon'tlikethisplaceatall," he added quickly.

"No escape..." the ghostly voice whispered. The door closed abruptly and the windows in the room melted into the walls. "You will not escape..."

"Great..." Shadow mumbled. The piano in the room began to play even though no one was pressing the keys. The harp in the room joined in and soon, the room was filled with distorted music.

"What the heck is going on?!" Vio shouted over the ruckus.

"How would we know?! /You're/ the genius!" Blue yelled back. The floorboards in the room began to shake and the instruments grew silent. Finally, the floorboards began to cave in, revealing nothing below but a bottomless pit. Shadow felt himself slip under the floor and he plummeted straight for the abyss. He quickly reached his hand up, luckily latching onto a loose piece of wood. He tried to pull himself up, but it was virtually impossible with just one hand. The piece of wood he held onto started to slip. Shadow took his free hand to grab onto another ledge and he forced himself upward, back onto the floor.

"And this is what happens when nobody helps you," Shadow growled, casting a glare at Vio, who blinked in confusion.

Once on the dusty floor again, Shadow stood quickly up and ran for the door. He turned the knob, but the door didn't open. "It's locked!" he yelled in frustration.

More and more floorboards were caving in and it wouldn't be long until it was all gone.

"We're gonna die!" Red wailed. A hand reached up from the pit in the center of the room and pulled itself up on a ledge. The head of the person came up, struggling to hold onto the small ledge.

"Help me!" the boy called fearfully, the hand slipping slightly from its grip on the loose wooden plank. Slightly confused, Blue reached for the hand. Before he could grab hold, the boy had fallen into the pit, screaming in terror. As if by magic, the giant hole in the floor closed up, replaced with new floorboards. The four stood in stunned silence.

"Well, I'm glad that's over!" Red sighed, leaning against the wall in relief.

"Why did it stop?" Vio interrupted.

"What?" Blue asked.

"The floor was caving in and then it just stopped!"

"Someone fell in..."

"What?!"

"/Someone fell in/."

"But...we're all here, except for Green, of course."

"I don't know who it was!" Blue snapped. "All I know is that someone fell in and then the hole closed up and now we're standing here wondering who it could've been!"

"He looked like us..." Red trailed off. "But he wasn't one of us."

"What are you talking about?" Blue questioned, crossing his arms.

"He looked just like us...only he wasn't anyone I recognized. He wasn't wearing any of the colors we wear or anything."

"Did you see what color it was?" Shadow asked anxiously.

"I think it was...like a blue-violet?"

"Indigo?"

(YES, I AM PUTTING OUR O.C'S IN THERE. DEAL WITH IT.)

"Yeah, pretty sure, why?"

"Ohhhh no..." Shadow started pacing, his hands on his head.

"What? What is it?!" Blue demanded. Shadow stopped pacing, a look of fear on his face. He backed up against the wall and an invisible force dragged him backward, through the locked door and out of sight.

"Shadow!" the three called together as they pulled on the locked door. At last the door opened and they rushed through, expecting to see Shadow in the foyer. However, there was no such luck. The room was as empty as it had been when the five had first entered the mansion.

A.N: I have no idea where I'm going with this. I made the chapters short on purpose btw fyi. Instead of a one-shot, I think this is gonna be a short story. Happy ending? Scary ending? Weird ending? I have no idea yet. I also have no idea who's taking the Links...I know as much as you do...well more or less. *smiles evilly*
