It all started with a dare.

A dare so frightening, that it had never taken place before. A dare so dangerous, that it was cruel to even think of. But, Ezra, Lily, and Darius were no ordinary dare-takers. In fact, no one thought they were afraid of anything.

Ezra, Lily, and Darius were standing outside the gates of the most terrifying abandoned house in the whole neighborhood. Maybe even the whole state. Thorn bushes decorated the outer gate of the house, cobwebs stuck hanging on the tops of walls. So...basically everyone's nightmare house.

"I'm not scared!" Ezra proclaimed(though he honestly was a little).
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNURyxQFUbT
"Neither am I!" Lily retorted.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMebtqgJW57
"Yeah, me neither." Darius replied.

Ezra took the first step into the front yard, slowly tiptoeing his way towards the splintery, beat-up door. The door was charcoal black, and some of the dry paint rubbed off on Ezra's palm.

The three of them stepped onto the creaky floorboards, not wanting to break them - well, anymore than they already were.

Lily clicked on her flashlight in the dim room. The flashlight flickered rapidly, as if something was trying to turn it off, trapping the three children in darkness. Something, or someone.

Lily pointed the flashlight forward, revealing three doors.

"I'm not afraid of a ghost!" Lily said, but no one responded. Not even Darius and Ezra to protest that they weren't either. They were too paralyzed by their own fear to hear her. She turned the flashlight to a lower setting, and it stopped flickering.

There was a shimmery sound, and a different name appeared on each door, in bold golden letters.

Ezra

Darius

And Lily…

"Holy crap..." Darius finally exclaimed. "Did you guys see that?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbzZq8imd7
"That's freaky-deaky." Whispered Ezra. "I ain't goin in there..."
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9EqOyBEcY
"Oh come on, let's go see what's inside!" Lily said eagerly. She thought for a moment, then grinned. "Unless, are you two...scared?"
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHbDmST3uq
"Never!" Ezra and Darius exclaimed in unision.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatUB2AwEaL
"Then let's see what it is." Lily said.

Each of the three children opened their doors, stepping carefully into their designated rooms.
The doors slammed shut behind them, and the locks clicked, trapping them inside.
The lights flickered on, and a different scene appeared in each room, tailored to each child's worst fears.

"Uhh...guys?" Darius called. "I think we made a mistake."

But neither of them could hear him. The walls were too thick.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3kle5lI2R
The only thing the three of them knew was that somehow, they had to get out alive. But how?
