Shivers
I trembled slightly as my friends locked me inside of the large gate "Make sure not
to get yourself killed in there tonight." said tom the rott weiler who made up this
stuipid idea "I still want to come back and see you grovaling on the ground like a
wee baby when this is all over." he said a wide grin spreading across his face "Come
on you guys this is a REALLY bad idea." I said as everyone burst out laughing.. "You
know they say two kids died in here.. and they never found the bodies.. and plus you
KNOW I dont like Museums." I say with a worried look on my face (While were on the topic
let me introduce who exactly "I" am.. My name is Xanitos, I'm a bleach white wolf with
blue eyes and a great personality. I'm 15 years of age and I do NOT like being alone..
especially in a museum all night long. Me being small for my age I get picked on and
put up to alot of dares the others would never do... like this for example.) "Well it's
not too late to back out now if you want us calling you blubbertooth baby for the rest
of your life." said tina the brown feline "NO WAY!!! I can take your stuipid dare if it
means avoiding that of ALL things.. but do you think I could at least take one person?"
"Nope sorry xany but your on your own on this one." said william the black pit-bull his
around tina giggling at the fact that I would even take this dare "I can bring your
mommy back with us though if you really want?" Everyone burst out laughing for that joke
but everyone went dead silent after we heard a creeking of a far off door in the direction
of the museum. "Xany are you sure you truly want to do this? I mean it still isn't too late"
"That'll be the last thing I consider doing sukers" I stuck my tounge out and turned my back
to them "Alrighty then guys looks like he's made his desision to stay, now lets get the hell
outta here this place gives me the creeps. OH and by the way xany dont let the windlnut getcha"
and with that they all walked away laughing and I watched as they got into thier car and drove
away. And then there was silence.... Dead,Cold silence.
I started walking towards the front steps to the museum slowly and quietly hoping not to
make to much noise in the event that someone IS still here. "Damn I never should have agreed to
this damn dare." I whisper to myself as I reach the bottom of the long flight of stairs and then
start to climb the steps two at a time making the best of my time here. I suddenly started humming
to myself for no reason at all and stopped realizing a strange door with two rainbow like symbols
on the top left and right and walked slowly up to it. I took the handel and tried to open the door
but swore to myself when I found that it was only locked. I turned my back to tghe door and
started walking back down the stairs but stopped after passing a vause and stepped back a few steps
and seeing this strange symbol and burned it into the back of my head just in case it is important.
I started walking down the stairs again slowly and saw that there was another path when I got to the
bottem so I decided to go down it lookin in every direction making sure nobody was following me.
When I was sure that it was absolutly safe I kept walking down the gravel path and shivered slightly
at the sound of water in the distance. "I wonder where thats coming form.." I said to myself and went
farther forward and hesitated as I saw a moving shadow in the distance tinkering with a box in the gazebo
and watched in terror as it dissapeared into thin air.. I trembled well all over my body I felt fur stand
on end due to the fright I just recived. I walkled closer to the gazebo slowly watching to make sure nothing
else was appearing anywhere around me and hesitated before stepping fully in to the gazebo looking around
to make sure nobody was reallly there. "Talk about wierd much?" I said to myself not even pondering what
was waiting for me inside the museum. "well I guess it's just my wild imagination acting up on me again."
I said to myself hopefully and looked at the large silver box in front of me in wonder.
"hmmm theres some sort of combo on this box.. maybe I should go back and search some more." so I turned back
and ran to the front gate noticing something that I never even saw before.
I walked slowly up to the gate looking at a dragon head sculpture sticking out of the wall with a large
chain hanging off of it. I grabbed the chain and tugged in hopes that it would open a door leading the way
out of this creepy old place and suddenly the jaw of the dragon head dropped open and a letter hung there old
and crispy. As bad as it was I took the mail and tore open the top taking out the letter inside and unfolding it
slowly and reading somthing about a kid named geoffery and I folded the letter up putting it in my pocket before
looking up and seeing a number inside the mouth of the head. I ran back to the gazebo and put the code 029 on the
lock then pushed the button and the lid popped then swung open displaying a number of gears and cogs to me.
I assumed that the black cogs were supposed to be on the black pegs and the grey on the grey in what looked like
only seven moves. I fiddled with the cogs for a while and finally after numerous tries I got it and turned the
lever making the cogs move. I shut the lid and listened closly for I could here the sound of somthing in the
water to the left of the gazebo so I turned around, walked out and followed the sound to find a pond with a few
stepping stones in it. I jumped across quickly not wanting to lose my balance and fall in and stepped under a
rock like doorway then looked down *facepalm* "Great not another stupid puzzle I have to deal with!"
After changing the shapes continuesly the door open with a sheer scraping sound that made me put my ears back
and whimper a little from the pain. "I curse whoever made this damn contraption!!" I said to myself in anger
and started slowly descending down the stairway feeling the air getting colder and more dense with every step
suddenly I got a rather uneasy feeling in my stomcah and stopped dead in front of a large metal door blocking
my path. "God dammit! What is wrong with this stupid place and all these doors!" I screamed loud enough to
make some birds somwhere above ground fly away. Slowly I walked closer to the door and took the ring handle
and gave a brief tug on it the door opening and letting out an awful smell of something decayed and a hint
of a mold smell. It was pitch black about 2 feet in and I scratched my head wondering what to do next when
I turn to my left and realize a little silver box protruding from the wall with a small red button on it
so I pressed the button and the box cut in half revealing a power switch. Cautiously pulling the switch down
I heard a loud generator sound and the sound of the door beside me and I turned just in time to see the last
shred of light dissapear when the lights flickered on. I started banging on the door and screaming for help
but only hearing the echos of my desperate voice I heaped myself on the ground hoplessly wondering if I would
make it out of this museum alive and stood up. "well no sense in just being a lump around here." I said to myself
hoplessly and started walking slowly down the hall that I was trapped in. After many turns and a few stairs the
decaying and moldy smell started to grow stronger as I approched a door somwhat like the one I had last gone through.
hesitantly I touched the door and it slide open with more screeching and a horrible stench of somthing dead I walked
through the door seeing an underground lake with many stallegmites and stallegtites and also a boat on my side of the
lake. I walked closer to the boat and cringed my nose in disgust as I turned to the left I saw a dead decayed body
laying in the sand with a book in his arm. As grotesque as it was I had to get that book from his arm so I slowly reacheched
out trying my hardest not to touch the body and slipped the book out from under his arm. "UGH that was the grosest thing I've
EVER done in my life." I screamed at the body hoping that somwhere the ghost of it would here what I was saying about him
while starting to feel quite sick from my stomach churning so badly so I opend the book and read through it quickly and took
the book with me hopping quickly in the boat fiddling around trying to get it to move. "DAMMIT GO YOU STUIPID BOAT!!!!!"
then I looked down and saw a lever and pulled it quickly turned around and pushed the other lever up and started turning a
strange wheel that contolled the rutter I'm guessing. "Thats more like it! nothing but the smell of fresh water all around me!"
I said to myself smiling to be away from that awful stench when I suddenly felt very uneasy as my ears perked up and my heart
started to beat faster the farther I went through the water. "What is wrong with me!?" I said slowly turning the wheel now when I
suddenly felt a overpowering weakness come over me and I fell into the bottom of the boat and struggled to get back up off the floor
again and started quickly turning the wheel making it to the other side I jumped out and got far away from the boat and the water too.
"What the HELL was that!?!?" I screamed holding my chest with one hand trying to slow my breathing.. later .. after that whole thing
while I was calmed down I started to look around and explore my surroundings by instinct and found a strange little pot sitting by a
large doorway. I examined the pot and saw a groove in it what looked like I was able to take the head off and see whats inside of it.
I gently took the pots head off and a white glow flew out and made and aperition of sir hubert windelnots spirit. An orange fox with a
bushy tail that had a white tip. "Who are you? Where am I. I remember now... Fifteen long years in that cold dark pot. YOU get out you
cant be here your putting the world in danger by being in this place. YOU MUST GET OUT!!" and with that he whitherd away into thin air
as if shriviling up to heaven. "Was that a ghost or am I dreaming? Maybe I'm still passed out in the boat! Yes that MUST be it." I said
to myself doubt filling my voice. I got up off the ground and started walking through the doorway hoping more and more that I WAS still
passed out in the boat rather than being here in this creepy sickly blue hallway. "What is this place? some kind of maze?" I said to
myself as I walked down the twisted halls that seemed never to end when I turned a corner and saw an elevator door right at the end.
"I made it!!" I said running to the end of the hall and fast as I could wich considering I was a wolf was very fast. I put my hand on the
door assuming that it was a touch sensor because there was no button but when it didnt open I explored for a button and discovered another
metal box in the wall and touched it hoping for another power switch but it opened to a wierd puzzle with little faces in the shape of astec
masks. I fiddled with the controls until I got it to close and the doors to the elevator opened. "OK so the faces have to be in a diagonal
line to make the door open." I said to myself as I walked into the elevator and pressed a glowing UP arrow and heard the door shut behind me
with a shrill squeek that made me cover my ears and whimper lightly in my own pain. "God dammit! someone REALLY needs to oil the doors around
here or I'm going to personally hurt them badly.... that is if I get out of here alive." I said to myself quietly praying that someone up there
had a liking for me.
