Chapter 26: The Haunted Mansion
Emma goes up to the door of the creepy mansion and knocks. Jake began to say "W..well what do you know nobodies home..I guess we..." Before he could finish the door screeched open by itself.
"So Hiccup?" Emma asked." So..how old are you again?" She asked herself in her head why she said that.
"Twenties just about your age," Hiccup the coughed and said." Am I right?"
"Um? Sorry to brake up the love fest," Regina said impatiently." But I think it's time we go into the creepy mansion and get this over with,"
The group entered Peter was shaking a little. " in The Haunted Mansion, had to be The Haunted Mansion, why couldn't it be Atlantis or something?"
Toothless wanted to go in with them but He couldn't fit through the door, so he stayed outside.
The door slammed shut behind them then a big booming creepy echoing voice said, " Welcome!" This made everyone jump." I am your Host your Ghost Host and as you can see this is The Haunted Mansion!"
"Look m..mister G...ghost Host," Hiccup stuttered." We didn't mean to disturb you,"
"Yea," Shrek chimed in " we are just here to pick up something and we will be on our way..."
The Ghost Host laughed which made the lights flicker a bit. " How can you there is no windows and no doors,"
Emma gasped." But how are supposed to..."
"And here is your gravest challenge," The Ghost Host began." To Find a Way Out!" Then there was a big flash of lightning when he laughed. This was truly terrifying. "And of course there is always...My Way!" Another flash of lightning and a glass shattering horrifying scream which made Jake squeal." Um...that was not me,"
Then the wall opened up revealing a ghastly hallway." Right this way let me show you around,". Emma motioned her friends to move forward. " This Mansion holds 1999 happy haunts..." The Host chuckles darkly." There is always room for a thousand. Any volunteers?"
"I think we'll pass," Kim said.
As they continued down the halls they saw ghosts pounding on the doors and glowing green inside calling for help. Peter stepped away from them.
The walked down the hall some more Hiccup turned and looked a the painting, then there was a flash of lightning and the person in the paining turned into a skeleton making him jump back." It's ok," Emma reassured him.
"Why are all these ghosts here?" Regina asked.
"Most of us spirits are only misunderstood," The Ghost Host explained in a more Solemn tone." Most of us, like yours truly, have an unfinished business, Most of us died and never gotten our happy endings with our hopes and dreams crushed. Doomed to walk these halls until we fulfill our unfinished businesses,"
Emma started to feel sorry for the ghosts, all they want is what everyone wants their happy endings." That's so...sad,"
"Yeah really," Peter said." Hey maybe we can help each other out,"
"I'm listening," The Ghost Host said intrigued.
"If you help us find the Madalian of The Shadow man, we'll help you guys get your happy endings you have longed for," Regina said.
"Hmm, I except," The Host." The medalian is located just through the graveyard,"
"Thanks," Hiccup said.
"Oh and can you put in a good word?"he asked."to The Author?"
"Of coarse," Emma said." Everyone deserves a chance at a happy ending,"
( I kind of feel bad for The Haunted Mansion ghosts, oh and I know most of you are hopping Malcolm/The Coachman gets what's coming to him. What he did to those kids is unforgivable and I think you guys will start to hate The Coachman in this story just as much as Hook.)
