It's finally here. EREBUS! I'm sorry if you've ever been there and I left some stuff out. I could only put in so much so that this chapter wouldn't be thousands of pages long (I also forgot some of the stuff that happened there...) But here you go. :)

Chapter 19: Erebus

It was time.

At 8:00 sharp, we were already in line outside of Erebus. I was wearing Ugg boots, skinny jeans, and a black sweatshirt that says FORKS HIGH on the front, and SWAN on the back. The girls were wearing pretty much the same as me; jeans and a sweatshirt. The boys were all decked out in shorts and T-shirts, so we got a lot of stares, considering it was almost November, and we were in Michigan.

It was a black night, with lots of stars hanging in the sky, and a full moon. We snaked up the line, which moved pretty fast, and into the building. We handed the quite frightening looking man our tickets, and went in.

And into another line.

We kept going into different lines, up stairs, across hallways, and so on, until we got to the real thing. They split us into groups, seeing as there was way too many of us. I was with Jacob, Claire, Quil, and Embry. Aw, shit. Embry's not even part of the haunted house, but I know he's gonna scare me. We enter an elevator… at least I thought it was an elevator. It turned out to be a small confined room. I backed into a corner while the boys stayed up front. Strobe lights came on, and the wolves all started dancing, so it looked like a whole bunch of pictures put together. Claire and I just stayed in our corners. It was actually pretty fricken scary. If you were alone. I was not letting Jacob out of my sight.

The door opened. Just a little bit. Just enough to see a man wearing a serial killer mask peek in at us. They stop dancing while the man looks at us, but resumes when the door closes. "Jacob?" I ask timidly after the door shuts.

"Uh-huh?" he asks, gentleman enough to stop dancing to speak to me. Instead of answering him, I just latched myself onto his arm, and promised myself that I wouldn't let go until we were out of the house. "Really, Bells? That was nothing compared to what we're about to face."

"I know. I just need to be ready for then," I whisper, digging my face into his chest. The door suddenly opened again, but this time, a woman told us to get out, so we did. We went down a hallway to a man shouting at some other people. We waited until he was done to advance into that room.

"UP AGAINST THE WALL! NOW!" he screamed at us. The boys were grinning, and Jacob was refusing to move, but I was finally able to get him against the wall. The man turned around, and explained the predicament. So, we were in an alien containment center and all of them escaped, so we had to evacuate. As much as I knew this was fake, the sounds around me frightened me and the man was a really good actor. Finally he asked us if we were all human. Everyone murmured 'yes' except for Embry.

"Nope," he said with a grin.

"WHO SAID THAT?!" The man didn't see that it was Embry who said it.

"She did!" Embry says, pointing right at me. What?!

"YOU!" He points right at me. Did he seriously think I said that?! Uh, oh. "Go through there! All of you! You have ten seconds! 10….9….8….7…6…5…4." It wasn't until four that we could understand what he had said, and start running for the door he was pointing at.

When we got through the door, I immediately pushed Embry into a wall. Not that it hurt him or anything…"Embry, what the hell was that! I thought that guy was like, gonna eat me or something!"

"Yeah… But it was pretty fricken hilarious!" he was laughing really hard. I just 'hmphed' and leaned into Jacob, who, when I look up, was silently laughing too.

"WHAT YOU GUYS JUST STANDING THERE FOR! WE HAVE TO GET OUT! GO GO GO!" Another person was yelling at us, and making us run away, where more people shouted at us to evacuate. It was a really scary scenery. There were broken tanks everywhere, and liquid on the ground. I almost slipped in my haste to get away from this thing that popped out of a tank, but Jacob caught me before I could plummet to my doom. We went up slopes and down slopes, until we were informed that we had gotten out safely. I thought it was over. I hoped it was over.

JACOB'S POV

This was so awesome. Bells was freaking out every two seconds and diving deeper into my side ever time. That, along with the fact that this was the best haunted house ever. It was epic.

We finally got out of the alien center place, and we were now in what seemed like an abandoned jail. Things were popping out at you, and it was really dark. They did a really good job decorating this. At one point we ran into a girl with amazing horror clothes and makeup. "Will you be my friend? Please! I just want a friend! Please stay with me!" She was shouting at us, beckoning us forward.

"Embry, go be her friend," Quil says, shoving Embry into the girl, and sprinting away with Claire. Bella and I just laugh and walk away from him, while Embry gets out of the grasp of the girl to catch up with us.

"Thanks a lot, Quil!" Embry shouts sarcastically ahead of him.

"You're welcome! I knew you two would be best friends!" he shouts back before they stop in their tracks. I look over their shoulders to see a guy with a… real chainsaw. I could tell it did not have rubber blades like most haunted houses. Maybe Bella won't notice… nope. The guy put it against the wall, and it made sparks. Definitely real.

"Is that thing real?" Bella whispers anxiously in my ear.

"No," I lied. Last thing I needed was for her to never get any sleep again. She automatically relaxed, and we were moving on. Now we were in a room with a lot of gates. We wove in and out of them until finally seeing the exit and going towards it.

"RAA!" Some guy jumped out at Embry in front, and he didn't even flinch. He just went like "RAA!" back, laughing, and moving on. The guy went back into his little dark hole, and Bella pushed me to the other side of it, farthest from the guy. I probably should've told her that there was a guy right behind her, but I kind of wanted to see what would happen. He made a, creepy in Bella's definition, sound, and Bella flinched just a little.

"Jake, stop trying to scare me. I'm already scared enough," she tells me, not looking at me.

"Bells, that wasn't me," I tried to rein my laughter, but couldn't as she looked at me with wide eyes, turning around and face to face with a, creepy in Bella's definition, guy.

"AHHHHH!" she screams running up to catch up with Embry, leaving me back with the guy.

"Nice job dude." He makes that weird sound again. "That doesn't scare me. It'll take a lot to scare me." At this point, I put my hand behind me to stop the other slinking guy. "No, don't even try. Your heartbeat is too loud," I say, and go on up to Bella.

Now we were entering a swamp. There was mist around our waists, and some weird stuff on the side of us to make it feel like we were walking in waist-deep water. Bella stuck out her hand in the awesome mist, amazing by it, as all of us were, when a hand grabbed her.

"AHHH!" she yelped. The hand immediately let go, and she shivered while I laughed at her frightened expression. "This is not funny, Jacob Black," she growls at me.

"I'm sorry, but you should've seen your face." I tried to compose myself, but without success. We kept on walking through the swamp. I was walking behind Bella (since the floor space was so small, we all had to walk in a line) keeping a hand always on her waist so she knew I'm there. There were more hands that came up out of the mist, heads even, along with the squeaking of bats coming from above. We finally started sloping down, and out of the swamp, to where Jurassic Park was waiting.

BELLA'S POV

Aw, shit. I absolutely hate Jurassic Park! I saw it once, but then I was too scared to watch it again (okay, I was 8), and I've never gone back. And here's a giant "JURASSIC PARK" sign right in front of my, with an arrow pointing to the right. I grip Jacob's hand tighter, and look up to see his face in a grin. Of course…

"Well, to the right it is," Embry says in front of us, going to the right. We follow him into this big place that I'm surprised seriously isn't a forest. There were trees everywhere, and the sounds of tree frogs, crickets, and… Dinosaurs.

There's a big dome in this giant place, where I assume the dinosaur sounds are coming from. Oh, god, we don't have to walk in there do we? I swear, if later the Scream guy jumps out at me, I am so done.

"Well, come on explorers!" Embry says like a tour guide, waving his hand towards us and going on around the dome. Oh thank god! So we aren't going in. Being relieved as I was, I probably should have been paying attention, considering what happens next. There was a window like thing next to me, but it was covered with something, and it suddenly popped up in my face and made a really fricken loud screech.

"HOLY SHIT!" I scream, so loud, that probably everyone in the entire house could hear my shriek.

"Jeez, Bells, it was just air and a loud noise," Jacob was laughing next to me. Later, he was going to pay for all of the laughing he's done tonight at my expense. So was Embry.

"Bella! Oh my god, that was too good!" Embry was literally, rolling on the floor laughing.

"Whatever," I mutter and pull Jacob with me as I keep going. I wasn't going to scream again if it killed me. "AHHHH!" So much for that. While stalking off, I hadn't realized I was right in front of a giant T-rex's face. It came out and bit me. It didn't hurt of course, the real looking teeth probably made of styrofoam, but it still scared the hell out of me. Jacob, sort of making up for laughing, was in its mouth with me, even though he probably saw it coming when I didn't. After about three seconds, it opened up, and we ran out. Embry was running behind us, but even werewolf speed couldn't get across the giant head in time, and he was stuck in its mouth for as long as we were. We laughed at him and walked away, right into a long hallway that look easy to cross.

Looked.

We walked a little ways down it before the first one came from our right. The body of a velociraptor lunged out at us almost knocking against the wall. I screamed, of course, and we started running through the hallway, getting hit two more times, but Jacob switched sides, so now it was just him getting hit. Taking a velociraptor for me. Now that's a true man.

When we were finally away from the velociraptors, (but Embry wasn't :)) we were in another hallway with a man standing in front of a door. A really scary man. I stood slightly behind Jacob and tried to shrink into his side, and the man halted us. I noticed that there was another hallway to our left.

"Do you like bugs?" he asked me, getting all in my face. I shrunk even more into Jacob's side in response.

"No," I barely whispered, wide eyed and frightened.

"Well you're about to be covered in them," he says with a menacing grin.

"Cool. That's really wicked makeup. Can I touch it?" How can Jake just stand here having a conversation with a really scary looking stranger?! And wanting to touch his blood red face?!

"No. We're not allowed to touch you. But we can get really close," he says, coming so close to me that if I moved an inch forward, my face would be touching his. I closed my eyes and just focused on Jacob's warmth in my side until I was sure he was finally gone. Embry came up behind us, and he and Jacob conversed, but I just couldn't take my eyes off of the scary man. When Quil and Claire finally came up, he opened the door, and some other people came out, talking and giggling. The blood-faced man then told us to go inside.

Embry went first, and we all crammed into this tiny dark room. The door shut, and it was almost pitch black. "Hey, look at this creepy doll. Isn't it cool Bella?" Embry was looking at a doll, that looked pretty much exactly like a human. He turned around to face me, and that was when we all almost had a heart attack.

"BAAA!" the doll… man screamed at us. Ok...wasn't a doll. He pushed a button, and something was falling from the ceiling. It was moving all over me, the bugs the blood-faced man had talked about… oh. They were just colorful balls from a ball pit. It filled up the whole space, to a point where it even went above Jacob's head. They made us put the balls back, and we walked back out, I avoided eye-contact with blood-face, and walked through the other door hand in hand with Jacob. We walked out into bright lights, different than the dark we'd been in for almost an hour. We looked around us. A gift shop.

It was over.

"Oh, THANK GOD!"
