I apparently have a fear of the unknown as my dream told me. I was going into this chocolate warehouse, and paused for a moment. The place looked Gothic, and frightening to me. Not to mention, it was dark. Very dark. So I walked towards the gate slowly, and then noticed other people were going inside too. But these people were your a-typical monsters, like werewolves and zombies, etc. So I stood there silently watching them go by and then I pushed my way in through the gate too, because something must of been going on for that many people to so excited.
But my fear continued to rise, just like a movie has that bad, dun dun dun music. So I walk along this elegant stone path and notice something - My friend TJ! I stare for a few minutes confused on how he got there. But, I guess he wanted to see this warehouse thing too! So we're both standing there staring at each other for a few minutes almost awkwardly before he starts conversation saying I look very pretty, and what type of 'monster' am I.
Well, I look down at my clothing then up at him, and joke saying, "Beautiful and pale, I suppose that leaves one option, Vampire." Which made him smile at me, so we walked together towards the door, but neither of us wanted to open the door or go inside so we'd watch others stream along inside, excitement at its highest. Or rather, fear. It seemed no different, some people that walked by looked like they didn't want to be here but were for their friends. I had been the stupid one to go here, but then luckily meet a friend. My heart was racing and I glanced up at TJ, and motioned to go inside, he merely nodded his head and gave me a confident smile that eased back some of the frigid fear I had.
Entering the warehouse, it appeared to be a large mansion, kind of like the one from House on Haunted Hill. So I'm peering around, my eyes taking in everything, before I notice a lot of us are being ushered into the basement of the place. I silently walk, and look around as I do so. The place is beautiful, and upscale, but there's something wrong with the place and I can't explain what but it scares me. Its like that feeling you get before a math test you know you haven't studied for. It sucks. I glanced around nervously, TJ gripping my hand, but I know I'm holding his tenfold to what he's holding mine. Sowly we ascend into the basement, and strangely enough it looks like a normal basement. Some of my friends are milling around drinking punch and others are sitting on the couches around the room talking among themselves.
I peer about, then tip my head to the side and ask my friend Randa, where the 'challenge' is, and her face goes pale. She looks at me like she's frightened, her whole body quivers and I instantly regret it. But, regardless she laeds me to a hallway, and I look around. The door are closed expect for one that is half open that leads into a deeper subsection of the basement. I don't know what to say or where to go, so I back away. The hallways had the lights on, then the flights flicker and go out. Fear grips me harder than before and I whirl away dragging TJ out of that hallway. because I'm scared. Scared of the unknown.
So I get out of the hallway back into the main room of the basement where my friends are hanging out, and I looked terrified. My eyes are wide, and I'm staring around. My friends don't notice, but Tj pulls me closer to comfort me. Then I spot someone else, Colin! He looks at me worried, and hurries over questioning me. Then I find out he hasn't went through the challenge either, and he asks if he can come with us. I swallow my fear and try to smile, Colin grins back at me saying 'That's the Larissa I know! Come on oh fearless leader.' I just blush at that, and turn from my friend, pulling Tj along once more. Little do I notice my other friends have followed me. So we reach the hall, and the lights are dim. Randa touches my upper arm and frowns.
"Whatever you do, don't go into the sub-basement. No ones come back from down there." I take this warning very seriously, and nod my head suddenly losing my courage. This sucks, you know? Then this guy comes down the hallway, and he looks impatient.
"Are you going to pick a door, jeez..." I stare around then notice a door wit a unicorn drawing on it. Obviously there's nothing menacing with that, its has to be a child's room right? So I open he door first, and bite back a scream. A balloon had went up from the door, I enter the room and peer around. There's barely any light, just this faint light from the corner like night light shining a red glow over everything. It a child's room. I look unhappy now, and the man that lead us in the room sits down on the bed and talks. I look scared shitless because the blankets he's on start moving, and I could see something crawling around under them. Stepping back I noticed a stuffed bunny doll, and picked it up. The thing looked evil, with red glowing eyes and everything. I'm lost looking at it but then peer up when I notice TJ is crawling behind a bookcase, I'm confused on why. I glance at Colin and he shrugs. The guy on the bed is still talking but I'm catching what he's saying now.
"The children love playing hide-and-seek. If you can beat them in a game of it then you pass this round." But of course it was strange to me, who was the children? There were no children in the room. I glance around looking confused and then ask a stupid question.
"Who are we finding, ourselves? Because, you know that's kind of... way too easy?" For that question I got a dirty look and told to hide.
Then, I woke up.
