D-d-d-d-did he say ghosts and poltergeists?
He did?
Crap.
Olivia whimpered quietly in the corner as she listened to the French man explain the difference between the two.Obviously it was important for this challenge, but all she knew was that they scared her.Why couldnt this have been something living? There were so many magical creatures to choose from.
Taking a deep breath, she entered the dark corridor, and fumbled around for her wand.Holding it out in front of her, she squinted ahead as she lit her way, "Lumos." Scrunching her face at the disgusting slime on the walls, she kept her eyes peeled for anything that looked like what they were meant to see.She couldn't even currently bring herself to think or say it - although she knew she'd have to eventually.
Walking along slowly, the door at the other end her goal, Olivia spotted a shiny part on the floor.Too shiny.Not meant to be there. "Hmmm," she muttered, scooting around it carefully, eyes fixed so she didn't step in it.But of course that meant she missed seeing the trip wire across the width of the corridor.Fabulous.
THWACK!!
"Arrgghhhhhhh!!!!"
THUD
She hit the floor with a fair amount of force, but had managed to get her arms out to cushion it slightly. "Owww," Olivia grumbled, sitting herself up and looking around in the darkness now her wand light had gone out. "WHAT IS WITH ALL THE TRIPPING TODAY?!?! HUH??" She wasn't expecting a response, but she got one in the form of a tennis ball smacking her on the nose.Oh this was just peachy.Grabbing hold of it, she threw it back in the direction it came from.Hard.It wouldn't hurt them, but hey, it made her feel better.But then another came at her, and she was forced to bat them away. "Urrrghhhh."
Scrambling to her feet, she re-lit her wand, and pointed it in the direction of the door.Standing in the light was a solid-ish figure, tennis ball in hand.Smiling. EEEEEPPPPPPP! Eyes widening at the sight, Olivia tried to keep her nerve and not show her fear.That would probably make the thing take more delight in her torture.Taking another deep breath, she spoke, hoping to reason with it. "I'm afraid Mrs - Miss? Poltergeist....that you will have to let me through.I very much need to get on with the next challenge, and have no time for tennis..." And I'm due to faint the other side of that door.Please and thank you. |
