Freddie's POV
Carly's scream ripped across the November air. I grabbed Sam's arm and dragged her behind me.
"Ouch Fredward! Slow down!" She yelled. We ran across the carnival grounds to the direction of the scream. When we arrived, no one was there.
"Where did they go!" I said frantically. Sam scoffed at something on the ground. She picked it up and tossed it to me.
"Look, it's Gary the Ghost." She laughed. I threw the Peewee Baby on the ground and searched around some more. There was no sign that Carly or Griffin were here but the Peewee baby.
"Hey Fredward," Sam called, "Look over here." She was holding up a torn flap on one of the tents. I held the flap close to my face and examined it closely. I picked off a long piece of hair and froze. This wasn't Carly's hair. That means someone else was here too.
"Sam," I said shakily, "We need to find Carly and get the hell out of here."
"What? Chickening out already? Looks like I win the PearPad." She snickered.
"Sam listen to me!" I said shaking her shoulders, "We're not the only-" I was cut off by another scream. Sam darted towards the sound with me right behind her. We stopped at the House of Mirrors where whimpering could be heard. Sam walked in first.
"Carly?" she called softly. "Carly you here?" Sam's voice echoed off the mirrored walls eerily.
"Sam?" Carly peaked her head from behind a mirror. She flew into Sam's arms and started to sob uncontrollably.
"What's wrong Carly?" she said after Carly calmed down a bit. "Where's Griffin." Carly's pupils shrunk in terror.
"I don't know! We were walking around when something grabbed Griffin and dragged into the House of Mirrors." Carly said.
"Carly, h-help me!" Griffin's voice came from somewhere in the back.
"GRIFFIN!" Carly screamed and ran into the maze.
"Carly wait! You'll get lost!" I yelled after her. She didn't stop. Sam started to go after her but I grabbed her shoulder.
"No Fredbag!" she said struggling, "I have to help her!" I had to use both of my arms to restrain Sam. Suddenly, everything went quiet. Sam stopped trying to gnaw my arm off and listened for Carly's voice. Nothing.
"M-Maybe she found him." I suggested. Sam stared blankly ahead, no emotions on her face. Suddenly, she pulled out of my grasp and ran into the maze.
"Sam NO!" I ran in after her. I was surrounded by images of myself in the hundreds of mirrors around me. I felt along the walls for some kind of employee exit.
"What the- get off of me you creep!" I head Sam yelling a wall over. I panicked and did the running wall leap. I hoisted myself over and landed on the other side. Sam was huddled in a corner hugging her knees. There was another creepy clown statue right in front of her.
"It's okay Sam." I soothed, "They're just clowns."
"N-Not s-statues. P-People." Sam said in terror. The statue raised it arm and swung. I dodged out of the way of the knife in it's hand. I scooped Sam up into my arms and put her piggy-back style on my back. I ran under the clowns arm and sprinted around aimlessly. I needed to get the hell out of this place. In every mirror, there was a clown behind me, laughing at my helpless attempt at escape. I whirled around but there was nothing behind me. I kept running and running when my face hit something solid. A door. I jiggled the handle but it was locked.
"Sam, I need you to pick the lock!" I yelled urgently. Sam nodded wordlessly and pulled out her hairpin. She jammed it into the lock and the door swung open. I ran through and locked it behind me, sighing in relief. There was pounding on the other side but we were safe⦠For now at least.
