CHAPTER 59
“Lex! You ready?!”
“Comming!” I call running out of my room after grabbing something to cover my bare arms and shoulders to keep me warm and hurry towards the stairs where my brothers are waiting...
“Move your arse or we’ll go without ya!” That was Evan shouting up the stairs....
“I’m coming! Keep your wig on!” I shout back running down the stairs getting nearer and I hear a light chuckle in return to what I said...
“AH! Finally!”
I roll my eyes as I appear at the top of the stairs, my brothers gathered at the bottom all waiting....oops...didn’t realise I was the last one....
Shrugging on my cardigan, yes I’m wearing a cardigan, which I didn’t even know I had...but it will do, over a white top with a black heart on the front with a pair of black skinny jeans and some white converses.....why am I the last one? Because I didn’t know what to wear...which is strange because I normally don’t really care and throw on the first thing that I find...but today....it seems different....
“Come on baby girl! We’re getting old here!” Blake calls and I crack a small smile and giggle, hurrying down the stairs...
“I’m here...” I smile up at them, pushing my arm through the sleeve of the cardigan as I reach the last steps...
“Great! Come on let’s go!” Chris pulls open the door, being the first one out...
I chuckle lightly and Blake wraps an arm over my shoulder, turning me towards the door.....
“LEXXIIII!”
I freeze, and a smile coming to my face as I hear the voice of my little brother....
Turning around I see the four year old charging down the hall way towards me...
Smiling I couch down to his level, just in time to catch him in my arms as he runs into them, giggling a little as I swing him around standing back up, lifting him up with me
“Hey there trouble...” I chuckle, blowing a kiss on his cheek, causing him to giggle again, muzzling his head into my shoulder and holding onto me.....
“Where you gowin?” He mumbles into my shoulder, and I smile sadly, knowing he knows where I’m going and that he wants to come...
“Oh hun you know where I’m going...” I smile lightly turning my head down to his “But don’t worry Tom, I’m taking you tomorrow...” I place a kiss on his forehead and see his eyes lighten up and he lifts his head up from my shoulder...
“Rweally?!”
I chuckle nodding my head “Yup...” I bend down, placing him back on the floor by stay at his level “Me, you, the twins, mommy and whoever else wants to come, are going tomorrow” I smile at his beaming face and he grins...
I ruffle his hair, seeing my mom appear at the kitchen doorway, I smile “I’ll see you tomorrow Tommy” I give him a quick kiss on the cheek before standing back up and mom walks forward.
“Yeah, see you later buddy!” Blake smiles, ruffling Tom’s hair as well, before mom comes up standing behind him...
Feeling a tug on my arm, I give my mom a smile “Bye mom!” I manage to say before I’m pulled towards the door, the other boys shouting out their bye’s aswell...
“Be careful!...look after Lexi!” I hear my mother call after us and I roll my eyes ....typical...
“Of course mom!...see you!”
And with another wave and seeing the sad look on my baby brother’s face....we all cram into the car’s....heading towards town...
Because we are about to head to this fair, that’s in town...and all that I’m expecting really are some fun fair rides and stalls.....but I’m excited to see for myself....
And with the boys, it’s bound to be fun.
~~
Wow...
Is the first thought coming to mind as my eyes take in the whole scene and atmosphere as we finally reach the centre of town, the whole place lit up with bright colourful lights covering the darkening sky, the sounds of people’s enjoyment echoing through the air aswell as the thudding beat of fair ground music....
A smile tugs at my lips and I excitedly tug on Blake’s hand......yeah, maybe feeling a little like a little kid...but eek!....I haven’t been to something like this...
I hear Blake chuckle lightly, but I ignore him continuing to gawk around at my surroundings, with everywhere you look there’s people, walking around or stood in groups, all of which seem to be mostly around are age, obviously this is the time to come I guess.....
“Ooh...Lexi! I’m defiantly getting you on that!” Chris suddenly shouts out, smirking and pouting towards something, which I follow to see the top of a very high ride...
I smirk “You betcha!” I glance to him and he winks at me...even though not knowing exactly what ride it is, only knowing it’s high, but I will go on it, from the look Chris is giving me, I’ll go on anything to beat him, and to get that smug looking expression of his face...gosh! Always competitive...
“Come on, come on! Let’s goo!” I chuckle at Evan’s childlike behaviour and he pushes us forward slightly, quicken our past as we approach the entrance, my own excitement bubbling and see how Evan’s acting like this too...
I gaze up, keeping with the same smile across my face as I gawk at the many rides standing tall, one catching my eye that I definitely want to go on tonight as I remember from when I was little, the big metal circle high above, with bright lights different colours lighting it up......a Ferris wheel....
“So, so! Where to first?!” Evan asks grinning and turning to face us, standing in the middle of a crowd of people entering this place....
I glance around me, scanning people’s heads and squint, pulling out my phone “Well...I gotta meet some people..” I mumble, hoping to receive a text from Charlie any moment now...
“Who?” Evan demands suddenly, a frown on his face, his happy mood suddenly dropping...
I raise an eyebrow at him...”My friends...” I say slowly “you know.....like Charlie?” I say talking as if he’s a child and I see his frown disappear...
“Oh...right...”
I roll my eyes at him looking back to my phone....
“Well.....Seth!....” Chris places his hand on Seth’s shoulder “you stay with Lex right?...” he looks to him and he nods looking to me as I slightly frown
“Good, cus don’t want Lex getting lost now do we...” Blake slings an arm over my shoulder hugging me slightly, but I still have a small frown on my face....
“Yeah....soo you go...meet up with your....friends Lexi...” Chris smirks as he says this glancing to me “And we’ll catch you later....cus well....you know, you obviously want to be with them more than you wanna be with us...your own brothers!...flesh and blood!...but yeah....that’s okay!”
I roll my eyes again at his dramatic ‘speech’, joking with fake hurt...
“Yeah right, that’s it...” I reply sarcastically, hearing a chuckle from Blake as I do....
“Hurtful!” Evan gasps, clutching his chest in a mockingly way and I roll my eyes again...
“Naa......go on Lex, Seth...we’ll catch you later...” Blake says, giving us a small smile and patting my back “Just look after her bro...” he says giving Seth a look
“Course...” He nods stepping to my side, and I bit my lip....slightly feeling a little....awkward? Around him as of the other day, but only a bit...because that was the last time we talked....
“Okay....see you later..” he gives me a quick kiss on my hair, giving Seth another quick ‘look’ before allowing us to go, after Chris and Evan give us a wave....and then they too turn away, obviously going to meet up with some of their new found friends.....
Sighing silently, I turn back around, starting to walk with Seth by my side, hands stuffed in his trouser pockets...
“So...where you meeting them?” Seth asks as we walk through the crowd of people, getting squished between them and I feel Seth grabbing my arm and keeping me close to him so I don’t get lost in the crowd probably.....
“Urm...by the big tent thing..” I say pointing up over towards the blue and red striped top of a tent thing, that has something inside obviously, which I don’t know what but am intrigued to find out...
Nodding, Seth heads in that direction, keeping me close by him as we weave in and out of people, there’s so many people here...it brings back memories from the other night at that house party.....
Shaking my head, I scan my eyes across the dozen of heads as we approach the tent like thing, trying to spot those three familiar heads that I’m looking for....
“HEY! HEY! LEXI!” spinning around I see the familiar brunette headed girl rushing towards me.
A smile spreads across my face and I step away from Seth, greeting my friend in a hug as she basically charges at me, reminding me a little of how Tom did earlier on...
“Charlie!” I smile giving her a tight hug before she pulls away, and then I’m grabbed in another hug, from a familiar red head
“Hey Abby” She grins at me as she pulls back, and I see another familiar blonde behind her...
“Hey Lexi...” Nathan gives me a gentle smile, and I grin, grabbing him in a hug aswell...
“Hi Seth!” Charlie chirps grabbing my twin to a tight hug causing me to smirk slightly at the surprised face of Seth as he gets attacked by two of my friends in a hug, followed by a friendly nod by Nathan...
“Hey...” Seth replies with a small smile....being friendly no matter what, as that’s just him....
Practically bouncing in excitement, Charlie grabs my hand beaming, now she is like a little kid at a sweet store...
“Come on!” she tugs at my hand “I’ve waited all year for this! And I’m going to get you on every ride! No matter what!” she grins..
Chuckling, I allow her to pull me away, and the others alongside, pushing through the crowd that seems to becoming busier and busier by the minute....but I don’t mind...because it seems to just add to the effect of this whole night...
“Come on then...” I grin “let’s get moving...”
And with that, we head straight towards one good looking ride, intending to go straight on it....
Tonight’s going to be fun....
~~
“Ooh...candy floss!”
“No, wait! Popcorn!”
“Ooh...noo...hot dog!”
“Ah....ice cream!”
“Does it matter! Just pick one!” I roll my eyes lightly amused as I watch Charlie and Abby arguing over what to buy and not deciding on one thing, as there’s obviously too much to chose from..
“I can’t!” Charlie groans slumping, her head in her hands “There’s too much...”
I smirk from sitting on the opposite side of the bench from her, Abby and Nathan that side too and Seth next to me, as we’re on a bench with food stalls around us aswell as other benches, the whole place lit up from tall street light lights things that have been put here for this reason....
“Here...I’ll decide for you..” I say, placing my own food – a small box of popcorn on the table and look up towards the other stalls...squinting my eyes as I decide....
“Ice cream...” I finally say nodding, looking back to Charlie “get some ice cream” I tell her, popping a piece of popcorn into my mouth...
Charlie raises her head, “Hmm....” She thinks about for a moment... “Alright then!” She grins jumping up from the bench, “Abs! Come on, let’s get some fooodd!” and with that she drags Abby away, joining the queue at the Ice cream stall..
I chuckle to myself, before looking down to the popcorn in the box, taking out a few more pieces to eat...
I look across to Nathan and offer him some popcorn, which he takes a few with a smile in thanks, and I also offer some to Seth, but he declines, shaking his head...
Shrugging, I go back to eating, looking up to everything going on around us..
It’s got darker, as in night time dark, but the place is filled with lights that it’s hard to tell to be honest, and it seems like we’ve actually been here for a ages, but I think it’s only been just over an hour, and in that time, Charlie has dragged us to loads of the rides here, some of which going on more than once, but they’ve all been fun and even Seth seemed to loosen up a bit while on the.. but has gone back to how he was before now...
Hmmm.....
Shifting position on the bench slightly, so I have a better few of the two boys sat here, Seth with his head down looking at his phone and Nathan staring off in the distance, looking as if he’s thinking about something...
Swallowing the piece of popcorn in my mouth, I bit the inside of my cheek as I pick out another piece, turning towards them...and aim the popcorn towards Nathan......
I flick the piece of popcorn in his direction, a smirk tugging at my lips as it hits him on the side of the head...
Blinking, he frowns, and looks down, before looking up towards me with a suspicious look...
I just chuckle to myself, smirking innocently and munch on another piece of popcorn, seeing from the corner of my eye Nathan frown once more, before adverting his eyes back to what he was looking at before....
Biting my lip to hold back a smirk, I take out another piece of popcorn, aiming it again at him....
Letting out an accidental little quiet laugh as I flick the popcorn at his head again, I duck my head, hiding my smirk...
But with feeling eyes on me, I look up to see Nathan’s gaze looking right at me and I grin again at him, seeing him shake his head in amusement with a small smile on his face....
Clearing my throat, I shift position again, getting Nathan’s attention and I nod my head towards my brother, who seems soo interested in his phone as he fingers run over the buttons...
Nathan smirks as he gets what I’m saying, and I turn my body so I have a good shot at my brother....
And with flicking the piece of popcorn at his blonde hair I smirk waiting for his reaction.....but I frown as I don’t get one, and the popcorn bounces of his head, falling to the ground..
Rolling my eyes I take out another piece, whatever he’s doing on his phone must be important to not feel that popcorn hitting his head...
I flick another piece, smirking as it hits his forehead and I hold back a laugh as I see him twitch, and his blue eyes flick towards me...
Tilting my head at him, he just frowns and goes back to looking at his phone.
God!.....someone’s seriously grumpy...
Sharing a look with Nathan as he watches in amusement, I take out another piece, and another...continuing to flick the pieces of popcorn one by one at his head....
OOooh...this is fun! Why Have I never tried it before!
I can tell he’s trying to ignore it, because that frown increases as he stares intently at his phone.....ehe! he’s going to crack soon!
I turn on the bench, so I’m facing him properly, with a leg each side of the bench and take a handful of popcorn, and continue to flick each bit at his head....
“Would you stop it already?!” He finally snaps, raising his head and looking at me with an exasperated expression, his phone loosely in his hand...
I crack a smirk, sitting upright, still with half a hand of popcorn in my hand “Doing what?” I ask innocently, even thou it’s far from innocent, and he knows it..
Rolling his eyes, he looks back to his phone...and I glance to Nathan, sending him a sly look as he hides his laughter...
And I resume with the flicking pieces of popcorn, until I get down to the last one left in my hand....and that’s when Seth snaps again...
“Lexi!” He shouts turning to me and making me jump in surprise, but bit my lip to hold back the smirk and suppress the giggles...looking at him with his annoyed and irrited expression.....
I push it further and flick the last piece of popcorn at his face, hitting him right in the middle of his forehead, causing him to blink in surprise.....before turning into a glare directed at me...
“Ooops..” I say with a nervous giggle and shrug... “They slipped..” Is my lame excuse, before I see Seth’s expression and I jump up from the bench with a squeak...
“Oh no!...stay away!” I yelp, grabbing the popcorn box as Seth stands from the bench, watching my every move as I’m already up and backing away, holding the box in front of me as if for protection...
As soon as he starts to advance on me I let out another squeak, moving around the bench to get away from him and start to throw handfuls of popcorn at him as a defence...
“Seth!” I start to laugh, as I walk backwards around the table, while throwing popcorn at him, which he picks up from the ground and throws back at me...“Stop!...Help! Nathan Help!” I look to him pleadingly but he just smirks, watching us from safety sat on the bench...
“You’re supposed to be my friend!” I gasp in fake hurt, before I see that I have no popcorn left....so I chuck the whole empty box at Seth, before making a run for it...
And by run for it....I mean, running around the other benches in this area, dodging other people as it’s fairly tightly packed...which makes it more difficult to get away, but also easier to hide....
“Lexi!” I hear Seth shout out and I giggle, dodging past people as I turn back on myself, running back to our bench......
“EEK!” I gasp out as suddenly an arm shots out grabbing me from around the waist, effectively, stopping me from going anywhere...
“Nooooooooooooooo!” I whine before letting slip a giggle “Seth!”....oh, no, no...don’t start tickling me in a crowd of people!
I hear his evil chuckle from behind me as his fingers dig into my side, making me squirm, holding back giggles as I try to pry his arms off me...but with no use as he’s a lot stronger than I am....
Just as I feel him about to pick me up, no doubt to chuck me over his shoulders, I gasp about to protest...but something, or rather someone, stops it from happening themselves....
“Seth!”
And instantly, I stop giggling, stop squirming and become still, Seth’s arms dropping from me aswell and he turns around....
Because I know that voice, and so does he....of course........his girlfriend just has to show up doesn’t she...
Holding back a groan, I turn around aswell, to see the brunette girl already in the arms of my brother, and I can’t help but feel my lip curl up in disgust...
Gross.
But as my eyes move away from them, the disgusted look drops off my face as my eyes connect with a familiar pair of dark brown ones......and, with no idea how or why, but I feel my lips tug up, into a small smile as I set eyes upon Noah.
Walking forward closer towards me I hear him chuckle, glancing at his sister and my brother with an amused expression before looking back to me “Don’t I get a greeting like that?” He asks with a glint in his eye, and this instantly makes my smile drop and I frown at him.
Seriously?
Smirking he shakes his head “I’m joking Chipmunk, chill your pants...” he chuckles, stepped past me, before pausing...
“Oh...you got...something in your hair...” he trails off reaching out to my hair in which I freeze, un sure at what he’s doing and stare at him, eyes slightly widening...
Seeing that smirk on his face, I feel him take something from my head, and by retreating his hand I see a white piece of popcorn in his hand.....popcorn was in my hair?!
Chuckling softly, he eyes the item of food in his hand before raising an eyebrow at me questionably, probably wondering why it was there...but then he just shrugs and tosses the popcorn into his mouth with a grin and starts to chew it...
And I just stand there staring at him, blinking once...not quite sure at what he just did...
“Mm...Tasty...” he smirks with a wink, before brushing past me, towards the bench behind us...
I shake my head out of the slight daze that I found myself in and turn around to see Noah approaching the bench that we were just previous sat at and is greeting Nathan who’s sat there and also Abby and Charlie who have come back with their ice creams, and look a little surprised to see him, but still smile...before glancing to me with a questional look....
Shaking my head again, I frown and walk over to the bench, seeing that Noah’s happily made himself at home, by sitting in my spot that I was just recently sat in...
Prick...
I glare at his back for taking my space, and before I can even think about sitting next to him, the place gets taken by a skank in tight jeans....
I glare at the brunette’s head, as she tugs my brother down next to here...taking the last remaining place...
Oh well thanks....thank you very much!
I roll my eyes as I walk to the edge of the table, frowning down at it...
“Uh....” I mumble out eyeing Charlie, Abby and Nathan....” Can you scoot up a bit? Please?” I ask giving them a look...
“Oh!”... Charlie looks down around her, before scooting to the side, creating the tiniest space possible, before looking back up to me with a grin..
I roll my eyes, but can’t help a small smile tug at my lips, because I gotta admit, what she just did is something I would properly do...
“Here..” I hear Noah speak up... “You can sit right here..” I look to him, to see him smirking and patting his knee...
I frown at it, then at him, crossing my arms and giving him a dirty look “Uh...” I get cut off from my harsh words by my brother..
“No, no she won’t..” He cuts in “Lex, you can sit here... “ he says before shuffling off the end of the bench, standing up at April’s protest and she pouts/frowns at him...
I raise an eyebrow....and slowly walk over to the other side, scrunching my nose up as I have to sit next to April, but I hide it by chewing the inside of my cheek, glancing at Seth, who’s not even looking at me, instead, narrowing his eyes in the direction of Noah...as I take a seat in the place he just gave up..
“Thanks..” I murmur, twisting my body so it’s leaning away from April as much as possible without being noticeable..
But with still seeing Seth’s expression, not taking his eyes from Noah, giving him a cold glare...I roll my eyes and sigh...
Great...so he’s still not over it?...
Crap.
Well it’s not like it’s going to happen again is it?!...ye-NO...No it is not going to happen again!
I frown at the table, having an internal argument with myself, boy, I must be going crazy...
“So!” I blink as someone suddenly speaks up..
“Who’s up for the haunted house?” Noah speaks with a sly smirk on his face looking to us all..
“Yeah!” Charlie pipes up agreeing “Totally....come on, let’s go!”
And with that motivation, we all get up from the table, which I just sat down at...and all head in the direction of the tall pointed top of a building at the far side of the fair....
A haunted house?.....now that’s intriguing...
~~
Every fair has a haunted house right?...where you sit in a cart and go around a dark building and things jump out at you? Right?....
Well, that’s what I thought.....but this....this is completed different....
As for starters.....you aren’t in a cart....you are on foot.
“Oooh ..this looks fun!” Charlie grins looking up to the lopsided building, with broken windows that have been made to look real, but are obviously painted or plastic....
I chuckle “Yeah.....fun” I say sarcastically shaking my head with amusement....a haunted house and Charlie says it’s fun?
Sure, okay it could be....and probably might be as I like these things, but then again, I have no idea what’s going to be in there.....
“Hmm...I’m not too sure...” Murmurs a voice and I resist rolling my eyes as I look to April, who’s stood in front of my brother, with his arms wrapped around her and she’s biting her lip, looking up at the dark, gloomy looking building with a nervous expression....
“Yeah...” Abby gulps looking up to it aswell “I Agree.....I’m not so sure I wanna go...”
“Nah...don’t be such a whimp!...it’s fine! Just a whole lot of dark rooms...” Noah says shrugging, but that sly looking smirk on his face tells me otherwise...and I narrow my eyes at him suspiciously....he’s not telling us something...
“Hmmm...” Abby bites her lip anxiously “I dunno...”
“Aw come on Abs! It won’t be that mad! We’ll be with you!” Charlie grins, pointing to herself and Nathan and me....but Abby still looks doubtful, as does April...
And the annoying thing is, with April I can’t quite tell if she’s faking this, or is actually scared about entering this house.....
But either way, it’ll be great to see her reaction....
After paying for our entrance of the building, as well...you know you have to pay for everything here....all seven of us enter through the dirty looking wooden door, with Noah first, and step into a dark room....
I blink, letting my eyes adjust to the light, I reach my hands out in front of me so I don’t bump into anything, or anyone.....
A echoing bang is heard throughout the room, causing someone to let out a squeak, as the room is plunged into darkness and causes me to jump, and pretty much everyone else too...
“Jeeze....” I mutter holding my chest “Don’t do that...” I hiss, knowing exactly who it was to give out that squeak that was more frightening than the door slamming shut...
April.
I hear the familiar chuckling of Noah who’s stood in front of me, suddenly seeming closer as the chuckle seems close so I stood moving, so I don’t bump into him.....
And within a few moments of just standing here in the dark, some lights flicker on from the walls, ones that show those things with a stick that is burning basically....
And by lightening up the room, we can now see a way to go, down a narrow corridor...
“Well.....here we go then...” Noah whispers almost trying to be spooky, and starts leading the way....me following behind with Charlie behind me, then Abby, Nathan and April and Seth at the back...
“I can’t see where I’m going!” I hear Abby whisper/shout out slightly panicky...
“That’s okay..” Noah answers “Grab hold of the person in front of you, because it looks to get darker....”
And as he says that I instantly feel Charlie grab hold of my hand and I smile lightly, giving it a squeeze....reaching my other hand forward, before freezing......Noah’s in front of me....
But before I can think about it any longer, a hand grabs mine, sending a tingly feeling up my arm which causes me to stare down at the faint outline of my hand.....
Noah’s holding my hand....
Shaking my head, I frown at myself, well dur! He did just say to do this, it’s not like it’s something special.....
Shaking the thoughts from my head, I concentrate on where we’re going, just seeing a narrow corridor for now, the walls only just brushing my arms if I stick them out, with those dim lights lining the walls, showing us the way to go....
“Oh...there’s something up ahead!” Charlie suddenly pipes up, sounding kinda excited....and I strain my neck to see.....but can’t quite make out what it is....
But that soon sorts as finally we reach the end of the corridor....and all stand by the edge of a maze.....
A maze of mirrors.
Oh you have got to be kidding me.
“Mirrors?” I hear Charlie question... “How are mirrors scary?”
Just what I was thinking Charlie, just what I was thinking.
From the lighting I can make out Noah’s shoulders shrugging, before he speaks “no idea...” He responds....but, to me it sounds as if he’s covering something up...
“Well...okay...let’s get moving..” Charlie smiles, walking up ahead to the edge of the maze, which is quite weird as all you can see is our reflections on everything.....
Reaching her arms out, Charlie slowly feels around, hitting mirror....until she finds a free gap and cries out “Here!” happily, grinning that she found the opening....
With Charlie in front, we all follow in, and I’m taken by surprised as I suddenly see my reflection, but by looking at my hand...I see that it’s still clasped around another...
Noah’s...
Swallowing, I pull my hand free, ignoring his gaze and reach my hands out in front of me, feeling the coldness of the mirrors......damn...this really messes up your eyes...you can’t tell which is a mirror and which is a gap....
And with it being a maze, there’s more than one way to go....
“I’m going this way!” Charlie exclaims, standing at the first opening that we found...
“No....I think it’s this way....” April’s voice chimes in, standing at the second one...
Biting my lip, I glance between the two......oooh.....I’m going with Charlie!
“Yeah...I think this way..” I say, moving to where Charlie’s standing and she grins at me....
And just like that, that’s how to break up a group of people....
April, Seth and Nathan chose April’s one.....while me, Charlie, Abby and Noah chose the first one we found....
“Well...good luck!” Charlie calls to the others “We’ll see you again some time!” She grins before saluting them before disappearing behind a mirror...pulling us along aswell, me releasing a small chuckle....
All waking with our arms out stretched, feeling around for any opening, I think it’s a pretty funny sight as we walk, bumping into mirrors thinking it’s the way....or bumping into each other....
“Oh god!” I call out stopping and looking around me, “Charlie?! Where’d you go?!” I call out, my eyes darting to each reflection on the mirrors, either seeing my reflection, or Abby’s and Noah’s...
“Charlie?!” Abby calls out eyes widening...
“YEAH!”
“WHERE ARE YOU?!” We all shout out hearing her voice sounding close by...
“I’m here!” She shouts back “Right by the mirror with a small crack in it!”
I frown, turning around in a 360 degrees looking at every mirror “What?!” I call back “Charlie how are we suppose to see if there is a crack in it!?”
“There’s thousands of mirrors!” Abby adds looks nervous...
“Well It’s right by the one with-Oh wait! I can see you!” She cries happily
“WHAT?! WHERE?!”
“Right there! You’re right in front of me!” I can hear the grin in her voice...but to me and the other two....we just look utterly confused, frantically looking around, bumping into more mirrors for this red headed girl....
“Where Charlie!? We can’t see you!” Abby calls
“I’m right here!....I seriously don’t get how you can’t see me...”
“Where are you?!”
I blow out a sigh....this is useless...what kinda spooky/haunted house is this?!.....it’s just irritating!
“Well....take a step fo-“ Charlie starts to say..but get’s cut off when all the lights go out in the mirror maze, plunging the whole room into darkness......and instantly I freeze...
“Wh-“ Again, words get cut off as suddenly a clash of thunder is heard, above our heads, obviously not real thunder....but it sure sounds like it!
“Oh my god!” I hear Abby squeak and her grip my arm....
“Charlie?!” I shout for her, trying to blindly feel around, finding a mirror....
“Char-“
Another clash of thunder rumbles above, feeling the vibration through the floor and then suddenly bright light flashes into the room, caused by...lightening....
“AHH! OH MY GOD!” Abby suddenly screams
“What?! What?!” I freak out, not being able to see....
“T-there....” Abby whispers, gripping tightly on my arm, as I am to her....
“Wha-“
But again, I’m interrupted by another rumble of thunder....and then that flash of lightening...
“AHHHH!” I Scream, jumping a bit and grabbing tightly hugging Abby as she’s next to me...
I just saw what she saw....
A reflection in the mirror.....that is most certainly not us...
“NOAH?!” Abby calls out
“Yeah?” I hear his ever so calm voice reply, and jump as it comes from behind us...
“Where do we go?!” Abby cries, gripping tightly to me, both our gazes staring wide eyed at the place at what we just saw...
“Urm...” I hear Noah mumble....
“Do something!” I shout out as another rumble of thunder comes “Where the he-“
“AHHHHH!”
“OH MY GOD!”
Lightning flashes, causing me and Abby to scream as the mirror besides us lights up with a flash inside, showing something very disturbing, that I don’t even know what it is?!.......but it looks like something that you kill on one of those Zombie games....
But very, very life like...
“oh my god, go, go, go!” I screech, moving forward, even thou not knowing the way...but I must be lucky or something...because we basically run through a clear gap, Noah right behind us.....
Abby let’s go off me and calls out “CHARLIE?!”
Oh god....we’ve lost Charlie even more know!
Another clash of thunder and lightning together erupts, and again we scream, jumping and I grab hold of the closest thing to me, which I thought was Abby.....but apparently not.....
“CHARLIE?!” I scream out calling for our friend as the three of us move slowly, feeling around in the dark, but still close together, holding onto eachother...and for once, I don’t care that I’m basically grabbing Noah’s arm, because.....this is different situation......
“GUYS?!” we hear Charlie’s voice call out
“Charlie?!” me and Abby cry out with relief, still moving “Charlie?!” and keep calling her as she calls for us....
Moving round a corner.....I suddenly feel myself bump into something...or rather someone, because it’s warm.
“AHHH!” I screech, jumping back into Noah by accident...
“LEXI?!”
“CHARLIE?!” I gasp in surprise, blinking, trying to adjust my eyes to see who’s stood in front of me....
“Oh my god!” Charlie squeaks, before flinging herself at me, in a very tight hug...
“Oh my god! you’re okay!” Abby joins the hug, and we all sigh with relief.....
We found her! It’s okay!
But that soon gets ruined by another clap of thunder...and the lightening striking up again, causing the three of us the scream again, hugging eachother...
“Okay.....let’s get out of here...” Noah speaks up, before I feel an arm around me...and then without protesting, getting guided through the maze......without bumping into mirrors?.....and away from the dark....the light getting brighter.....
“Oh my god LIGHT!” Charlie cries happily, praising the light as we all stumble out from the maze....
We made it?....
HEY!...we got out of the maze!
“Oh thank god..” I mutter, leaning against the black wall breathing in deeply.....Phew!
Catching Charlie’s eye, I see her lip twitch upwards.......and before long, she cracks up laughing, and not being able to help it.....my laughter soon joins her....
Maybe just for letting out these feelings, the adrenaline, or even just laughing because of how stupid we were....but either way....we slide down to the floor, cracking up.....with Abby looking at us as if we’re crazy...and Noah stood there with a small smirk on his face...
Oh...well....that sure was......thrilling...
Smirking to myself, I calm my laughing, and brush a hand through my hair...
“Hey....where’s the others?” I ask with a frown, meaning Seth, April and Nathan....
Charlie soon stops laughing and frowns too...glancing to the exit of the maze we just came out...
“No idea...” She frowns, glancing up to Abby and Noah...
Getting up off the floor, I look to where we have to go next......around a dark looking corner, who knows where that leads too......
“I think we should just carry on..” Noah speaks up “I mean we don’t know if they are still in there...” He looks to the maze “Or have carried on....” He looks to the next place we need to go....
“True....” Charlie says, getting herself up from the floor aswell...looking to me and Abs as if to see what we think....
I shrug, “Suppose....” I murmur looking to that dark looking corner.... “Okay....okay, let’s go....we’ll see them when we come out any way...” I say....and with nods of agreements, we all look to that dark corner....and Charlie takes the lead....with then Abby, me then Noah behind....
Oooh...hell.....something’s through here.....
And I was right, something was through there, half dead people.
Not real half dead people obviously....well....actually, they kinda we’re real in a way...because they did move.....followed us an all.
Dear god, was some scary shiz, being followed through corridors or rooms decorated to look like grave yards, and by walking past a grave on the floor, a hand shots out and grabs you!
Who wouldn’t have a heart attack!? Cus damn....I swear I did!
I swear it was like living a real animated video game, I should really stop playing them with my brothers....
But obviously, not ruin the fun or illusion or anything, but it was obviously people dressed up, with great makeup to make them look like half dead humans.....but even with knowing this....it was still heart racing, adrenaline pumping scary......because for a split second, you would think that it’s real, your mind playing tricks on you.......and, the dark making things worse as you can’t really see....
Anything grabbing you or jumping out on you in the dark, makes me sh^t myself....and that sure did......
“OH.....MY GOD!” Abby breathes out, as we stumble out the door, hitting chilly air and the noise of the people screaming enjoying rides....
“Oh dear god......” I mumble shaking my head “That’s horrible...” I shiver just thinking about it....
I hear a chuckle, and snap my head to the owner “Oh come on, it was that bad...” Noah muses and we just yawk at him...
Yes I can watch horror movies, but being in something like that!...that is actually there.....is just...just damn....I can’t even think of a word....
“ Oh come off it, I saw you jump when that Zombie grabbed your leg!” Charlie scoffed rolling her eyes at him...
I bit my lip, holding back a laugh as I recoil this image, yes indeed....Noah did jump when a ‘Zombie’ grabbed hold of his leg...
Noah blinks, and he rolls his eyes, covering up “Yeah...right......I was just cold....”
I try to suppress my laugh, but don’t manage to, and a few laughs escape my lips...
I’m sorry! But that was an hilarious excuse!
Rolling his eyes again at us, I smirk....and then look back to the exit door as we hear voices....
“Oh my god!”.....a wide eyed, frazzled looking April stumbles out of the door, Seth right by her side as she looks as white as a sheet....
I frown as Seth sits her down on the floor, Noah hurries over to her and I look to Charlie...who raises an eyebrow too.....
Well....it wasn’t that bad to look like she does!...but then again, I won’t be surprised....she can’t even watch a scary movie without jumping.....
“Nathan!” Abby suddenly cries out, before throwing her arms around the boy, who looks perfectly fine..... “YOU’RE ALIVE!”
I crack a smirk at that, before walking over to them along with Charlie, grinning and eyeing Nathan...
“How’d it go?” Charlie questions eyes twinkling “...especially with drama princess over there...” she nods her head towards the two boys who are stood around the princess herself...
Abby pulls back from his hug, but stays at his side, resting her head on his shoulder and I can’t help but smile, that’s cute!
“Well...” Nathan starts.... “I think she was and is genuinely scared...” He says looking to me and Charlie who’s eyebrow’s shot up
“Really?” Charlie presses
“Yeah....I mean look at her...” He nods in her direction, where Seth’s comforting her “You should have seen her back in there thou, I think she was truly freaked....”
I bit my lip to hold back a smirk, knowing I really shouldn’t be smirking, because that’s not funny.....oh who am I kidding! Yeah it is!...
Nodding my head slowly I say “Oh....” My voice slightly cracking as I try to hold this laughter down...
Oh why do I have to laugh at something that’s not ment to be funny!
But I see Charlie crack a small smirk, looking down....and I let slip a chuckle...before shaking my head quickly covering it up....
“Well.....okay...let’s see how she is...” I plaster on a grin, before dragging them over to where the others are....
Noah glances up at us as we approach....and April seems to look fine now, maybe just a little shaky, okay so maybe I feel a little sorry for her, knowing how it feels to be scared out of your wits...but if she’s faking this.....then ooohh...she won’t know what will hit her....
“So!” Charlie claps her hands cheerily getting everyone’s attention....
“who’s up for something more.....thrilling?” she grins and I raise a eyebrow...
“That!” she points over towards the tallest thing here, a solid tower thing, at the height of a tall house possibly, with something attached to it where you sit in....and that goes right to the top, before suddenly dropping without you knowing when....
I smirk at Charlie “Let’s go!”...before darting off into the crowd with the others...
Ooh...tonight’s only going to get better.....
And one reason that is....is because I’ve still gotta meet with my brothers, and when we do....there won’t be any stopping them....
Smirking to myself, I can’t wait for this...
