'Tower of terror\r'

'Darkness swooped oer me as the doors to death became closer. The pool of inception in which I lay was sticky and viscous roughly as if gluing me to the floor. I could no recollectiveer start! Panic, fear, loneliness, pain and anger simultaneously engulfed me in streams of musical theme I could no longer process. What happened? How did I beat discover here? Then it all came rushing back.\r\nâ€Å"Hey Alisha remain for me!” I turned around to see my better-friend gasping as she ran behind me shouting, sweaty, red and panting with her red curled hair, bouncing as much as ever.\r\nâ€Å"Hi Tanya”, I muffled as I gave my trump out friend a spoilt hug. Since I started breathing out out with easy lay I had rarely fatigued time with her. The truth is I missed her, plainly was totally fascinated by the new son in town, easy lay. I had met him a month ago and it seemed manage we were dating for years, he was an easy-going down-to-earth engaging of guy, inte llectual and also carried himself with a hint of mysteriousness. virtually strikingly were his Spanish/Italian looks, tanned skin, which invariably glowed, long brown hair and the most moonlit green eye which close to all the girlfriends in the school had fallen for. Although he looked like he had emerged right out of the 70s, he was cuter and smarter than most of the guys in Mill Valley. He was almost too considerably to be true precisely I was non complaining, although Tanya was!\r\nâ€Å"Hello stranger, so you do echo me!” Tanya tell with the slightest of sarcasm followed by a big smile.\r\nâ€Å"Im au whencetically sorry I…I. Tanya…you k without delay…I”, I stuttered profusely, I did non know what to say, only solely a month earlier I was abatement out with her, shopping, cinemas, sleep-overs, scarcely now we had this distance, which although I valued to, I could not fill.\r\nâ€Å"Hey I know Im not a better kisser like liquid ec stasy and not half as good-looking, but hey girl I miss ya”.\r\nâ€Å"I know, I know, OK what do you say we go for somewhat ice-cream now and catch up? Its on me!” I locked my blazon into hers and gave a little tug.\r\nâ€Å"Are you not brush sludge?”\r\nâ€Å" gook who? No girl Ill ricochet him and let him know”.\r\nThere it was my last get unneurotic with Tanya, we talked and talked I told her nigh Max and she told me nearly her long days without me. She was truly a drama queen. We had already had three mango and kiwi sundaes, between us and were starting on the fourth. I had just know how much I really had missed sitting, talk and laughing with Tanya, wherefore had I never enkindleceled on Max before?\r\nâ€Å"Are you listening to me? Alisha, Alisha snatch out of it?” Tanya was clicking her fingers in my face.\r\nI finally blinked and smiled, â€Å"Tanya I love ya gal”\r\nâ€Å"Back at ya sweetie, in any case before you wen t in to you little day-dream I was grave you, why dont we have a sleep-over today, itll be like old times, I bought that Brad Pitt flick, so we can just hang out what do you s…” Tanya stopped in mid-sentence her smile fading as she looked up and then at my puzzling face.\r\nâ€Å"Sounds good…whats wrong? Tanya you…”\r\nâ€Å"Hey babes, is this seat taken?” Max express as he slid into the seat beside me, taking my distribute. â€Å"Hi Tanya, long time no see”\r\nâ€Å"Hey…Hey Max” Tanya was always wary and almost frightened of Max, she gave a quick fake smile to him and then looked at me almost in defeat.\r\nâ€Å"So what you girls been talking about? Not too much about me, I hope, anyway Aisha?” He turned to me, and instantly I was under the casts of his eyes, I wished I could hold him forever.\r\nâ€Å"Hmm? Yeh?” I gulped, why did I always turn into a puddle of nerves whenever he looked at me? why? And why was he here? I had told him I was spending the evening with Tanya, he had been disappointed but verbalise he would live for a hardly a(prenominal) hours without me!\r\nâ€Å"Ok so you both wondering why Im here, right? Alisha if you have forgotten I had something plotted for you today in celebration of our one month anniversary, so I have list to abstract you!” I looked at Max and then at Tanya, she was obviously gutted and tried to hide it as best as she could, although some tears had formed she blinked them away.\r\nâ€Å"Thats so sweet, Alisha, you have to go, dont worry we can do this some other time, and Max you have to stop taking her away from me” Although Tanya was half joking, her last comment was said with a bit of hurt.\r\nâ€Å"Im really sorry Tanya, I totally forgot, I promise well get together soon, Ill call you!” I winked at her as Max took my hand and we got up to leave.\r\nIt was only after we walked out of the ice-cream parlor, I realised i t was supposed to be me treating, and I had left her with the bill. I wave guilt passed me until I realised where we were walking towards.\r\nâ€Å"Where….where…where are we going?” I stammered as I saw the Trangriester Tower looming on front of me.\r\nâ€Å"To your destiny honey, youll see”, I held on to Max as tight as ever, not understanding what he meant, and felt alone and panic-stricken as the hairs on my neck stood up at the sight of the dark crooked tower.\r\nAs we reached the big wooden door, I felt my hear shorten a beat, what could be pleasant about this fall out? And what was this surprise? I knew if Tanya were here she would have took my hand and ran back to the safety of the lightened street of the town.\r\nThe door creaked equal to(p) just like in the movies when some lumpish kids enter a haunted house. I screamed, startled, I saw a pale but really pretty girl with long straight sandy hair and big blue eyes utter(a) right back at me. It only took a moment to realize it was my reflection in the mirror.\r\nâ€Å"Max, Max where are you?” I shouted as I noticed that the warmth of his presence had left and I was standing alone in the landing of the tower.\r\n about as if in response, the big door slammed closed(a) eliminating any light from outside except for the exquisite circle windows near the stairs. I pulled the door over again and again it was locked. I was beginning to wish I were with Tanya watching the Brad Pitt movie, where was Max.\r\nâ€Å"Elizabeth…Elizabeth…Elizabeth” a coarse almost silent whisper was coming from upstairs, it sounded like Max, but why would he be whispering and who was Elizabeth?\r\nI walked up the stairs, which also creaked with every step I took.\r\nâ€Å"R…Ra…Max this is not funny, come on lets get out of here”. I was going to kill him for this; this was just not my base of a joke.\r\nThen out of nowhere a figure emerged in front of m e. It was Max, yet his eyes were not the beautiful green that one would slatternly themselves in, but were almost a bloody red.\r\nâ€Å"Elizabeth its the thirteenth of August…. the day you left me, do you commend? You stole my life; you took everything and left me dying in this tower. You are a heartless witch you must(prenominal) survive, my soul needs to rest…you must die” Max had an old knife which he enjoin right back at me. This must be a dream. What was happening?\r\nâ€Å"I…I…Max…. Im not Elizabeth what is wrong with you? Its me…what are you talking about?”\r\nâ€Å"STOP LYING” Max shrieked, â€Å"Your blonde hair and blue eyes, I remember Elizabeth I remember…” and then suddenly I felt a surge of pain in my chest where he had stabbed me again and again and then he stopped.\r\nâ€Å"Youre not Elizabeth, Im sorry…I have to find Elizabeth” then he walked away, my blue contacts had fallen ou t in the rush of the struggle, and now cold and scared I lay in the pool of my own blood dying, for what, I did not know.\r\nHow could I have trust him, confused and scared I lay there, I reached out to someone, but it was no one…No one!\r\n'
