Chapter 112


    I vowed internally to settle the beef with Felix once we went back. As for Matthew, his inconsiderate act


    made me realize that it wasn’t worth keeping him as a friend.


    The guys in the group managed to hype us up, and the women were all excited and giddy. Soon


    enough, we forgot what happened and enjoyed ourselves on the rides.


    The entrance to the haunted house was right under an old willow tree. There was a bottomless well


    there that read “You’re doomed!”


    The staffer gathered us and exined the rules. He reassured us that the haunted mansion was all


    about an immersive experience and that all ghosts were yed by employees. They looked scary, but


    they would never abduct us.


    The group then descended into the well in a cheery mood. When I went down, Felix and Colin were


    waiting for me.


    “Follow me. No need to be afraid.” Colin held my hand and led me down the middle tunnel.


    It was my first time in a haunted house. My ears picked up howling winds and harrowing cries. They


    sent chills down my spine. Suddenly, someone in front screamed and shouted, ” Go away!” I


    shuddered and hugged myself to calm myself down.


    When I tried to get a bearing on my environment, something dropped down from above. It was mere


    inches away from my face. The flickering light revealed its terrifying aspect–it was a corpse whose


    tongue was bleeding. Something was wiggling out of the two holes where eyes should be.


    I screamed uncontrobly upon seeing the hideous creature. My fight–or–flight response was triggered.


    Colin hugged me and whispered next to my ears, “It’s fake. Rx.”


    Right. The staff member told us that the ghosts were fake. Besides, Colin was with me. What was there


    to be afraid of? I mustered all my courage and followed behind him. For some reason, I felt that


    someone was tailing me. I tried to lose the stalker but failed.


    I turned around many times to confront whoever was stalking me. But it was too dark t wouldn’t be able


    to see a thing even if someone was right in front of me, especially not someone who was intentionally


    staying out of my view. I didn’t know who or what was following me.


    “What’s wrong?”

    “Someone’s following me.”


    “I’m here. I’m strong. No ghosts will approach you.”


    As soon as Colin said that, I felt something cold grabbing my ankle. I yelped and kicked my feet to lose


    the foreign object. By sheer luck, my feet produced a loud thud before I realized


    what I had done.


    Someone groaned, “Ow, this is going to hurt.”


    Oops. I identally hurt a staff member. What should I do?

    Colin knew that I had identally kicked a staff, so he dragged me and fled together. I couldn’t see


    anything, but there was the whipping sound of wind. My stalker was still behind me. His footsteps


    matched mine.


    Suddenly, greenish lights appeared once more, illuminating the me–eyed ghost who had a dead


    mouse in its jaw. Its hands had sharp nails, and they were trying to strangle me.


    I squealed. I couldn’t dodge the ghost’s attack in time, so I hopped on Colin’s back. “Run! There’s a


    monster!”
