I was asked to write a story at school and I got a super mark for it ! So decided to share it !! I had to include specific words that I'll highlight in the story
The horror is very light, not gore at all, it's just psychologically disturbing but not that much actually.
Starring Mia, Apollo and Klavier. Totally an AU!
______________________
In the deep dark forest, glowed the light of a mansion nearby.
Inside was held a party celebrating the thirty fifth birthday of the president, Mia Fey. A lot of guests were gathered around her, spoiling her with gifts and wishes. The president was wearing a long shining dress and looked way younger than she really was. During the evening of this cold winter, the mansion was a perfect place to party. There was a dinner then the president stepped on the stage and took the mic. The crowd became quiet.
"everyone, thank you so much for everything, I am very happy to spend time with you and I hope you feel the same. The night is still young, let's enjoy ourselves!"
The crowd clapped, then another person went on stage. He was what we can call, a handsome young man: tall, blond, slightly tanned, and on top of that, a singer. He also took the mic and said
"Now if you please, I'll sing a song for our dear president !"
The crowd clapped again. The song was catchy, joyful and yet a bit nostalgic. The president was moved and gave him a warm smile. She asked for another song. The man nodded and took the guitar.
"as requested, another one, this one's for you forehead! Achtung baby! Let's groove !!"
He winked at the crowd. A teenager was standing there, face-palming and clenching his teeth at the words of the man. "Stop calling me like thaaaaat!!" He mumbled, blushing furiously. Ever since their meeting a few years ago, the German singer Klavier and the young attorney Apollo never stopped playing the little game of "who will embarrass the other more". They were good friend and knew each other weak spots. This rivalry soon bloomed into something else they were both embarrassed totally about.
Klavier started singing. Strangely, there was no "groove" at all and everyone shuddered when his voice came out. Compared to the last song, this one was extremely slow, his voice incredibly soft and his hands were literally caressing the golden chords of the guitar.
Apollo closed his eyes. Everyone was so calm and there were no sound but his voice and the music in the air. The young man felt his consciousness fading away. "Oh no" he thought "now's not the time to fall asleep!" He forced his eyes to open and as he did so, his jaw dropped in surprise.
What he saw wasn't the place he was in earlier. No more decorations on the walls, colorful lights not tables or guests. everything has vanished. What was left was only the room itself, as if the mansion returned to its old apearence: dark, gloomy and dusty.
Apollo swallowed hard. He trembled a little. The atmosphere was heavy, ominous. He carefully took a step forward. He feet in the ground made a small sound, echoing in the silent room. "W-where am I..." He wondered.
Then, he noticed a gigantic clock on his side. "Three am ?? He read out loud." All of a sudden, a cold breath sent shivers down his spine. He didn't dare moving. He'd always been scared of ghost stories and believed in them. But as his body was suffering from the tension, he released his muscles and ran into the clock that happens to have a door big enough to hide a human inside.
All he could hear was the ticking sound of the clock, matching with Apollo's heartbeat. He waited a little. His mind remaining blank.
Something felt odd, he wasn't confines in that clock. Not that he knew what being in a clock felt like until now but he imagined it's inside... narrower. He remembered jumping inside, eyes shut with fear. Did he miss something? He turned around
"wow!!"
Behind him was a long stairs that seems to lead down. The tick of the clock was now making him feel uneasy so he decided to follow the new path. He could feel the temperature ride with every step he took.
Soon he could see a yellow, orange-ish light from below. He wondered how many steps he took but it sure felt like forever. A violent wave of heat struck him. The step were now gravitating around a huge gray mass and under him was lava. He blinked once, twice, thrice to check if he wasn't dreaming, yet, it was more like a nightmare.
"....AM I SERIOUSLY AT THE CENTRE OF EARTH???" He shouted
But his voice didn't make any sound sound. He was too shocked to notice that his mouth was totally dry from the heat. He soon realised that his body was unwell, dripping with sweat and even burning from the hotness of the lava. For a second he thought that it was hell. He could feel himself getting dizzy from the heat.
He quickly went back on the stair and climbed up the steps to escape as fast as possible. The atmosphere was even worst and now he wouldn't mind fighting a ghost.
He reached the top and the low temperature from above cooled him down. He sighed, pushed the clock's door and got out. A sudden bright light blinded him. Then he felt a hand gripping his, he shouted in horror.
A tall blond man was standing there, looking at Apollo in confusion. "...are you okay herr forehead?" Apollo, even more confused tried to talk as he looked around. Everything was back to normal! The room, the guests.... Klavier added: "Achtung baby, what are you doing hidden in a clock? It's dangerous you know ?"
Apollo looked behind him but there was no more path, just the clock, closed and showing the time: 10:57 pm. Knowing that no one would believe him, he shook his head and moved forward. Klavier took his hand and whispered with a grin. "Was my song that bad or did it make you dream ?"
The End
