Horror Writing 3

"Great. Just great," Blue huffed. "Now there's two people gone missing. One thing's for sure, I don't wanna be next." He rushed for the exit.

"Blue, where are you going?!" Red yelled.

"I'm getting outta here. This place is haunted!" Blue grabbed the door handle and pulled hard.

"H-haunted?!" Red squeaked. Ignoring him, Blue screamed.

"I DON'T WANNA DIE!" He pounded the door in frustration. "I CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS!"

"Blue, stop. Even if the door wasn't locked, we'd still have to get Green and Shadow back," Vio said calmly, putting his hand on Blue's shoulder. His shoulders slumped and he turned to Vio, his usual frown showing on his face.

"Fine..." he pushed himself away from the door. "I suppose we go look for them now?"

"I guess so," Vio mumbled, shifting uneasily. "Uh...let's try that door," he declared, pointing at the door resting at the top of where the two staircases met. "They couldn't have left the mansion. They gotta be in here somewhere."

"I guess you're right," Blue sighed, following Vio up the creaking stairs. "But this is a mansion we're talking about. Who knows how many rooms there are to explore?" Vio opened the giant door at the top and on the other side was a hallway full of doors lining the sides. Blue sighed. "See?"

"Don't worry," Red said with a small smile. "I'm sure it won't take us /too/ long to look through all of these rooms."

"There could be more rooms beyond the doors we see here. It'd be better if we split up," Blue grumbled as he hurried to open a door.

"No it wouldn't," Vio disagreed. Blue slammed the door in his face quickly, leaving Vio and Red to themselves. "Fine, we'll split up," Vio sighed as he trudged off to another door and went inside.

"I don't wanna split up!" Red yelped as he tried to decide which one of his duplicates he should follow. "Blue, Vio, come back!" He finally sighed. "O-okay, splitting up. G-good idea, Blue." He then headed for a room of his own and closed the door behind him.

Blue examined the room before him. It was an armory, filled with metallic suits and weapons. It was a miracle that they weren't blunt at the point.

"Well, at least if something comes in here, I'll be ready for it. There's tons of stuff in here," Blue said with a smile as started picking through the numerous piles of weapons. He picked up a round, circular shield and blew across the surface, spreading clouds of dust everywhere. After rubbing it with his sleeve a bit, he could see a blurry reflection in it. In the reflection, something was amiss. The same weapons he had seen scattered about the floor moments ago were now pointed at him, suspended in the air. Blue slowly turned around and it turned out that the reflection wasn't lying. The weapons inched closer and closer, forcing Blue to back up into the wall. When he couldn't back away any further, he squeezed his eyes shut as the weapons flew at him, their points deadly sharp. Not daring to move, he opened his eyes and saw the weapons lying on the ground in front of him. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he dared to take a single step forward. When nothing happened, he sighed.

"That was close..." He left the wall's side completely and continued to rummage through the weapons. He made sure he would be more alert and expectant this time. "Stupid haunted mansion," he grumbled.

"Hahaha...haha..." Blue jumped to his feet, holding his Four Sword out in front of him.

"I'm not afraid of you! Show yourself!" Blue taunted.

"You should be afraid..." A dark figure rose from the ground, grinning at him maliciously. "Very afraid." It stood, looming over him with a vicious grin hidden in its shadows.

Blue was frozen with fear of the tall character, as his sword dipped lower.

"Boo."

"AHH! GET AWAY YOU CREEPY SHADOW CREATURE THING! YOU DON'T SCARE ME, YOU JERK!" he screamed while swinging his sword frantically. The thing snatched the tip of the sword. It flung the blade to the side and grabbed Blue in a choke hold. He struggled as the hold on him became tighter, and he found himself gasping for air.

"I will spare you this once, so I'll leave a message. Be afraid. Be very afraid. For none of you will leave this house with their heart still beating." It gave its signature grin and dropped Blue. It then sank back down through the floor, never once breaking its smile. Blue stared at the spot on the floor, his heart racing.

"Maybe splitting up wasn't such a good idea after all," he gulped.

He rushed out the door, back into the hallway.

"Vio! Red! Where are you guys?" he called. A head popped out of a nearby door.

"Blue? What's going on?" Red asked as he came out of the doorway.

"I'm starting to think this place really is haunted," he said breathlessly. "We gotta get outta here now."

"What about Green and Shadow?!" Red asked worriedly.

"All I know is that there's someone here that doesn't want us to get out alive." Vio appeared behind him.

"What?" he asked. Blue whipped his head around and grabbed Vio by the shoulders.

"We're going to die!" he shouted in his face. Vio pulled away and shook his head.

"Would you get a hold of yourself? We are /not/ going to die." Blue's eyes widened and he stepped back.

"Vio..."

"I don't see what the big deal is. We've faced things way more dangerous than this before!"

"Vio..."

"It's simple really. The mystery behind this stupid mansion-"

"Vio!"

"What?!" Blue pointed behind him and Vio turned, but all too late. The monstrous figure behind him had pulled him into the shadows, only leaving Red and Blue behind. Blue cursed under his breath as he hurried to follow the creature, Red following him at his heels. They followed it down the hall until they stopped at the end of it, facing nothing but a blank wall. He was gone.

A.N: I DONT KNOW WHO SHOULD BE THE LAST ONE LEFT AGH! ...That is all- oh yeah, and I need to figure out who the heck that monster whatever is.
