119 Haunted (1/2)
Once the couple arrived at their next destination, Abi was once again utterly surprised. What surprised Abi wasn't the fact that the helicopter landed in the middle of a large amusement park, she was shocked that the place looked deserted.
She could still see few staff wearing their uniform but it looked like no guests were inside, except the two of them. The park was obviously closed to the public.
Abi already deduced that this was Alex's doing. She didn't expect this at all. She didn't even want to think just how much money this man might have spent by now just to fulfill her requests. And this was just her third request for today!
As she thought about it, Abi couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. He always exceeded her highest expectations with everything that Abi sometimes wondered if she was asking for too much.
”Little fruit, are you just going to stand there?” Alex asked, looking back at her. ”Come,” he then added, pulling his hand from his pocket and stretched it out for her to hold.
Abi stared at his elegantly long hand before she took it. The two then walked hand in hand in the middle of an empty street towards a large castle.
But before they reached the large castle, which was where she thought they were going, Alex, instead, led her towards another path.
”We're here,” he said as they stood before a small eerie-looking castle. The words, 'HAUNTED HOUSE' were written with what looked like blood, on a piece of wood hanging above the entrance. ”I really don't know why you want to go to a haunted house. If you want to get scared, you should just ask me and I'll scare you myself,” he smirked evilly at her, even unleashing his chilling aura as he caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers. Somehow, Abi got what he meant. Even the ghosts might be scared of this man if he raged. But not her.
”I don't think that would work. I'll just run towards you for shelter even if you're the one trying to scare me,” she replied as if she was stating a fact and Alex was speechless. How could he forget that this little lamb had never run away from him, and even approached him instead, every single time when she was supposed to be scared?
Letting out a quiet sigh, Alex then pulled her hand and they entered the house.
As they entered the dark alley, Abi began to cling onto him.
It was quiet inside.
”Alex… this seems strange. I think no one is here. Maybe because the park is closed?” Abi said as she looked around while Alex simply shrugged.
However, in the next moment, something fell like raindrops on the floor right in front of them. When Abi looked up, a bloody body fell on the floor, covering the drops of blood that fell down.
Abi jolted in fear and she jumped behind Alex, wrapping her arms around his waist.
”Nice. This stuff looked pretty realistic,” Alex just raised a brow.
After that appetizer, the two ventured further inside. It didn't seem like the little lamb was a scaredy-cat. She often jolted but she never screamed in fear like he was expecting.
But once they were about to reach the exit, something unexpected happened. Abi let go of Alex because she thought that the adventure was over. She ran ahead of him, excited to see the outside world when suddenly, the alley where she ran to, that she thought was the exit, suddenly closed behind her, separating her from Alex.
Abi's eyes widened when she couldn't see Alex anymore.
”Alex!!” she called out and then, a cold hand grabbed her from behind.
Abi slowly turned and what she saw made her scream.
”Let go!!” she yelled but as she struggled, cold hands also grabbed her feet and her hands. Abi was terrified. She tried to muster her strength to escape but this was too much. It felt so real and Abi's fear was starting to get the better of her. ”Stop!! Let go! Don't pull me!! Stop pulling!” she screamed as the creepy hands started to pull her backwards. ”Alex!!!”
