Part 5: Haunted House
"We have time to do one last thing." Logan informed his friends. Carlos pouted.
"Aww, why?"
"Because the theme park is closing in 15 minutes and we need to head back. It's almost seven." the smart boy replied before looking at his two taller friends. "Do you guys have something in mind?"
"As long as it's not a roller coaster, I'm good." Kendall sighed and James laughed. "Shut up." the blonde defended himself before playfully punching the pretty boy's shoulder.
"Alright alright. Um... what's one really fun thing we haven't been to yet?"
Carlos frowned. "Everything." he answered James' question and Logan rolled his eyes.
"We wouldn't have time to go ride everything, 'Litos."
"We would if we all ran everywhere!" the Latino retorted and James rolled his eyes this time, knowing that a arguement between the two shorties was about to happen. But Kendall interrupted it with a grin and a happy "Guys!"
"Yeah?" they all asked, staring at their friend.
"The Haunted House!" two pairs of eyes brightened at that.
"YES!" Carlos cheered while James whooped. Logan on the other hand swallowed nervously.
"The um, haunted house?" he squeaked and Kendall's grinned turned to a sly one.
"You aren't scared, are you Loganator?" he teased and Logan huffed.
"No!"
"Are so!" Carlos piped in and the smart boy turned angrily to him.
"Am NOT."
"Are so so!" the Latino grinned and Logan opened his mouth to yell whatever that he was going to yell but James beat him.
"Okay, enough! If you two keep arguing, we won't be able to go."
"That's fine by me." Logan shrugged and Carlos scoffed.
"See? Scaredy cat."
"I am not!"
"You're right. You're a chicken. Bawk bawk bawk bawk!" Carlos laughed as Logan threw himself at him, fighting him off half heartedly. Kendall rolled his eyes.
"Guys, come on! Park closes soon so let's do this!"
Logan sighed. He really didn't want to go to the haunted house because really, they were kind of scary and he didn't like them. But he really didn't like to let his friends down so he nodded slowly. "Yeah, okay."
The smart boy felt a arm plop down over his shoulder and he looked over to see a grinning Carlos. "I'll protect you, Logie-pooh." he cooed and Logan rolled his eyes but a smile played at his lips.
"Now that you two have made up, can we please get to the haunted house now?" James asked and Logan nodded.
"Lead the way."
"Only two at a time." the guy working at the entrance of the haunted house told the four boys. James grinned before draping an arm over Kendall's shoulder.
"Fine by us. You ready for this K-Dawg?"
Kendall laughed. "Absolutely."
The guy gave them permission to go and as the two tall boys walked past the dark curtains, James called over his shoulder, "See you guys on the other side!"
Carlos waved excitedly even though James and Kendall had disappeared already. The happy and bouncy Latino turned to Logan. "This is going to be so awesome! Aren't you excited?"
Logan nodded slowly. "Sure. I'm excited. Thrilled to the bone. Can't wait to-" the next part of his sentence was cut off by a very loud scream.
That came from inside the haunted house.
That sounded a lot like James and Kendall. Logan paled. "Oh shit." he murmured and Carlos stared at the dark curtains where his friends had walked through with twinkling eyes.
"Wow, what chickens." he mused and then the guy standing by the entrance told them to go. Carlos whooped. "Let's do this, Logan!" he grabbed the other boy's arm and dragged him through the curtains with a huge grin on his face.
Logan's heart pounded in his chest as he realized that he was in the freaking haunted house. "Oh god..." he moaned quietly and pressed himself against Carlos' side. Carlos was happy as can be, waltzing through the pitch black room while looking around everywhere.
There was mist swirling around them and it was deathly quiet. That was until some body fell right at Logan's feet making the boy scream bloody Mary. Carlos jumped before laughing as he poked the dummy. "It's not real, Logie. Just a dummy-"
The 'dummy' wasn't really a dummy but a real person who now latched his hands around both teen's legs. They both let out manly screams (not really) before wrenching their legs free and making a run for it. Since Logan wasn't that athletic, really not at all, he was having trouble keeping up with the shorter but faster boy.
"Carlos! Carlos, wait! Don't leave me!" he yelled but Carlos was already gone.
"Holy fuck, dude. Did you even see where that chick came out from? She like, just freaking appeared! Out of nowhere!" James panted out to Kendall who was also panting. The two boys just ran for their life from a zombie girl who was wielding a chain saw. The boys hadn't even been in the haunted house for one minute when the girl appeared. She chased the boys for 10 seconds before stopping since she was supposed to stay at her post.
The boys though... they kept on running and running until they were for sure that the girl was long gone. The blonde nodded. "For real. Was she behind us or something?"
James shook his head. "I don't know and I don't care. Where are we?"
Kendall looked at his surroundings and saw that they had entered a dark tunnel like room. "Um... I don't know. But I'm scared as hell right now to walk through it."
James nudged him in the shoulder. "Don't be such a girl- holy shit, what was that?" the brunette squeaked and pointed straight ahead. Kendall didn't see anything at first and was in the middle of asking, "See what?" when he saw it. The figure stood directly in front of them on the other side of the tunnel.
Kendall swallowed and stepped closer to James. "That wasn't there just a second ago..." he whispered and James shook his head slowly.
"Nope... do you think it's a real person?"
"No clue."
The two got their answer a second later when the dark figure let out a banshee scream and began to sprint towards them full speed.
"AHHHHHH AHHHHH AHHH AHHHHH!" the two teens screamed before turning on their heels and running away. Kendall stumbled over his feet and almost fell but James was right there and grabbed his arm before dragging him after him. They were both still screaming and running until they hit another screaming figure.
"Oof!" the three went down in a pile on the ground. "Ouch..." Kendall muttered when he felt a heavy weight on him.
"Guys?" a voice asked hoarsely in the dark and James, who was the weight on Kendall, panted out, "Carlos?"
"Oh my god, I am so happy to you guys! Is Logan with you?"
"No. You didn't lose him, did you?" James asked before feeling someone poke his side.
"Yo. YO. Get offa me." Kendall puffed and the pretty boy did, apologizing as he did so. James helped Kendall up while Carlos was already on his feet.
"We got seperated. Some dummy that wasn't a dummy grabbed our legs. Dudes, it was the scariest shit ever- uh. What's that?" the Latino pointed over his two taller friend's shoulders and they looked around them only to see that cloak figure standing there again silently.
"Oh shit." James cursed softly and Kendall slowly grabbed his arm before doing the same with Carlos.
"I think we should run now..."
Just as the blonde said that, the figure let out a awful high screeching sound before sprinting towards them again. Carlos screamed and bolted off, Kendall and James on his heels. Feet pounded after them and the three boys knew that the mysterious cloak figure was running after them.
While they were screaming, along with the cloaked figure, there was another scream. That was coming from beside them. Kendall skidded to a halt before turning to face the side where a dark hallway was.
"LOGAN?"
"KENDALL?"
James stopped when he saw that Kendall was no longer with him and Carlos so he grabbed the smaller boy and ran back to where the blonde was stopped. "LOGAN, CAN YOU SEE ME?"
"NO! EVERYTHING IS PITCH BLACK IN HERE." Logan's voice sounded closer and Kendall began running into the hall. James and Carlos were behind him.
"We're coming Logan!" Carlos called out before hitting something and falling down.
"Ow!" Logan hissed from under his friend and Carlos grinned in the dark.
"Oh, hey Logie."
"Don't 'hey' me! You left me!" Logan accused and Carlos frowned.
"I'm sorry but I was scared-"
"So was I and you just left me!"
"I-I-"
"Wait a minute; did you just say that you were scared?" Logan snapped and Carlos blushed. "You were all excited and shit to come to this stupid haunted house but then you chickened out and left me to fend for myself! Do you know that there were more 'dummies' out there? They all chased me and tried to grab me and it was the scariest shit ever!" Logan knew that they were just people in costumes, but seriously. It was scary and Carlos left him there all by himself.
He was pretty pissed but terrifed. Call him a baby, but Logan really disliked Haunted Houses.
While Carlos and Logan were talking, James and Kendall were getting their breathing back to normal. There was no point to that though when that cloak figure appeared at the entrance of the hall they were in. Kendall saw it first and clutched onto James. James, confused by the sudden boy attached to him, glanced up before knowing the reason why.
The tall boys slowly backed up while the figure stayed still. They backed up until they were standing next to their two shorter friends who seemed to be getting over their little... complications.
"Will a hug make you feel better?"
"A hug? You seriously think a hug will make me feel better?"
"Yes..."
"Ugh, fine. But when we get outta here, I want ice cream and you're buying."
"Deal!" Carlos chirped before pulling in Logan for a hug. Logan sighed into it, hugging the shorter boy tighter. Really, he liked Carlitos' hugs and could stand there all day in the boy's arms. He would have too, but just two things... One: they were in a haunted house. And two:... there was a spooky looking figure suddenly there standing in front of them.
"Um... guys?" Logan began and James and Kendall nodded, still clutched tightly to each other.
"We know."
"Know what?" Carlos asked and turned to face what his friends were staring at. His heart sped up at the sight of the hooded figure and he pulled Logan closer to him. "Hold me." he whispered and Logan swallowed, eyes wide at the cloaked figure.
Kendall was pulled flushed against James, their cheeks smooshed together as they both stared at the person. "We're gonna die." James whispered and Kendall nodded.
"So gonna die."
Then the figure let out its horrible screeching banshee scream before running at the four teens. They all screamed before running away. This time though, things were different.
Carlos had a tight grip on Logan's hand as he led the two in every direction. James and Kendall were the same and followed the crazed Latino. Wherever Carlos was leading them, it was the way out apparently. Even though it seemed like forever, the boys finally bursted out the curtains that was the exit to the haunted house. But they didn't stop there. They kept on running and running, hearing the banshee screaming thing behind them.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" the thing screamed before stopping and watching the four boys run away like the girls they were. After they were out of sight, the cloaked figure began to laugh and removed the hood that shielded its head.
Or her head. Camille laughed and laughed until stitches were painfully pricking her side. She didn't care though. She laughed on before calling out, "Did you get that on tape?"
Lucy Stone suddenly emerged with a video camera in her hand. A sly grin was on her face and she nodded. "Aw yeah. I hope they know that this is going on the Internet."
Camille laughed.
"You have a great set of lungs on you, girl." Lucy praised before wrapping an arm around Camille's shoulder.
"Why thank ya, my dear. Now. Shall we go put this up for the world to see?"
"We shall."
A/N Wow... hopefully this wasn't too bad. =/
Sad news. My grandma is back in the hospital and isn't looking swell. Her time is coming and even though I really really don't want her to leave, I think she'll be happier. She's plain miserable right now and it's making all of my family sad. ='(
Anyways... these are getting rusty because my mind ain't working right at the moment. So, sorry if this one wasn't the best.
Okay. Drop a review if you want.
