I realised as soon as I started writing… I had no idea how this is going to happen.
Also, many of you are telling me to carry on 'or else', and I'd like to say, I have no intention of leaving this, but I will probably take a few days off every now and again, so don't get worried if I don't update every day, like I started off doing.
I'm soppy, but I decided I need a break between fluff. So… Here's the outcome. ^_^
HORROR STORIES ALERT: I'm really sorry if I scare/offend anyone, it's not my intention.
While I'm at it; if you don't know who he is, and you scare easily, I wouldn't advise looking up the slender man.
I'll try and make it as tame as possible, but I'll write a recap at the bottom for anyone who really doesn't like horror stories.
The twins observed the room… Hmmm… what was the word for the basement? The dark corners and the candlelight cast on the walls and all of their faces. Yes… That was it. Creepy.
They started arranging candles, the rest of the host club watching them curiously. They didn't provide any answers for their questioning stares.
The candles, a mixture of colours, sizes and shapes looked almost eerie - and not at all romantic - once the twins had arranged them in a circle.
They sat just outside the circle of candles and prompted everyone else to do so. They then alerted everyone to what they had in mind.
-_ Start of horror story _-
"We want to play a game…" Said Hikaru in a spooky voice.
Kaoru joined in, in the same voice, but slightly higher "We want to tell a story…"
"We want to inform you…" said Hikaru.
Together, their voices quivered and shaked, low and commanding "Of the slender man."
They locked eyes with everyone in the circle, and a couple of scared faces looked back. Tamaki and Hunny were captivated, but wide eyed and evidently creeped out.
At the same time they got up, and walked behind everyone, each twin walking a different way, slowly, still talking in perfect sync.
"They say, that the slender man is tall, taller than any human. He wears a suit, and his arms are said to reach to the ground. Though… That's not the scary part…"
They paused, just to allow the tension to creep in, they were face to face now at the other end of the circle, but after a couple of seconds of silence, they crossed each other and resumed speaking, and walking.
"They say… He has no face."
Tamaki whimpered "N-n-no face?"
The twins ignored him, and carried on walking steadily and slowly.
"They say… He kidnaps people… but the bodies are never found."
"N-n-never found?" Echoed Tamaki.
"They say… that you cannot run from the slender man. He will always find you. No matter where you are, he will catch you, and anyone who sees him… even once…" Their voices drew to a whisper now "Cannot escape…"
They met at the other end of the circle again, paused, but continued talking, having turned back to face the circle.
"They say the slender man is always waiting for another victim.. and they say…"
The twins eyes widened suddenly and they stumbled back, staring at something beyond the circle, into the darkness of the rest of the basement.
"THERE HE IS!" They screeched, as everyone turned to look.
All heads were turned to where the twins had pointed. Until they heard the crazy laughter, which meant they'd been fooled.
"Gotcha!" They laughed.
-_End of horror story_-
There were a few sheepish smiles, and nobody could deny that they hadn't been a little bit scared.
Kyouya, being the practical person he is, walked to the light switch and turned it on, then blew out the candles one by one, as the others discussed how realistic the twins had been, and not even smiled once.
"Come on, it's really cold down here… lets go up to my room." Said Tamaki, in a voice that was better, but still a little shaky.
Haruhi couldn't help but smile to herself as they all climbed the many stairs back to Tamaki's room. How had she become friends with people like this? She joked to herself.
She knew how lucky she was to have them all, they made her happy. They were everything she could hope for. With the twins, a little more crazy than she'd first hoped, but they were her friends, all the same.
As she was walking, she realised something… She'd never seen Tamaki's bedroom before.
Her curiosity got the better of her, and she climbed the elaborate staircase with more impatience than before.
Okay… For those who didn't read the horror story part, Hikaru and Kaoru trick everyone into believing in a certain myth, and then make them feel stupid. (Yeah, amazing summing up, I know.)
Anyway, I hope that all of you did read it, but I do have some friends who have this really bad fear of Horror stories, so I thought I better put in a warning.
Anyway, 'Til next time!
