I Went To One Of Those Extreme Haunted Houses, But Something Went Horribly, Horribly Wrong
“You think this is the time to be daydreaming! You have to get us out of here!”
“Then we need to hurry. It’s too quiet in here…I don’t think there are very many of us left in the maze.” I said.
I stopped talking when I heard rustling that was slowly coming toward us. Jade heard it too and hid behind me. My heart started to beat rapidly, and I became a little short of breath.
A hand popped out of the corn, then a face…it was Tanya.
“Tanya!” said Jade.
“Have you seen Steve?” I said.
Tanya didn’t say anything to either of us, or even make eye contact.
“Are you alright?” asked Jade
Tanya didn’t say anything…with her mouth. Her face said it all. She starting walking toward us. After her 3rd step, she fainted, falling face first into the dirt. I walked up to her, with Jade still holding onto my arm. Once I was close enough I saw the knife in her back and the blood starting to pool. “Tanya!” I yelled. I knelt down to examine her wound and immediately noticed the handle of the knife. Then I choked a little bit. Either the killer and I shared the exact same taste in knives, or this was my knife which I had left behind in Steve’s car.
I pulled the knife out of Tanya’s back. Jade screamed and jerked away from me. I turned around to face her and she took a couple steps back.
“What’s wrong?”
“Drew!? How…how could you!?”
“You can’t be serious!” I took a step forward. “I haven’t been out of your sight since we got here.”
“That’s what scares me.” Jade took a step, leaving her back against the opposite edge of the path from me and Tanya. “I know that’s your knife!”
I looked down at my hands, which were now covered in blood – Tanya’s blood. I was frantic, what just happened?! I looked back at Jade. “Yeah, the same knife I left in STEVE’S car!” I realized another step toward Jade might make her run off to the same fate as Tanya. “The same Steve that convinced us to leave our things in his car…the same Steve who we last saw leaving the scene of a man who… was cut in half! That’s where my mind was when…”
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!”
Jade screamed and disappeared into the corn stalks. I ran in after her and kept going until I reached a small clearing that was empty, save for a cross, which at some point, probably housed a scarecrow. At the end of the small clearing was the entrance to the mirror maze.
