‘Right, your Dad and I are going to go and get an ice cream, are you going to be alright on your own for half an hour? You wont be scared will you Harry?’ asked Cath
‘No Mum of course not! Just go go go! I want to go on the um…dodgems!’ blushed Harry, he really was scared, he was excited before, but now it all looked so daunting! But obviously he didn’t want his friends to know that!
Cath and Michael walked away and left the boys to explore the fair.
‘I want to go on the waltzers!’ screamed Jason
‘No let’s go on the dodgems first!’ said Harry with nervous excitement
‘Ooo I know! Lets go on the ghost train…if you two aren’t too chicken!!’ sneered Chris ‘And I know that you are!’
‘I’m not chicken! Lets go!!’ said Jason as they ran off leaving Harry stood on his own.
‘I’m not chicken’ he whimpered under his breath as he nervously ran to join his friends.
The boys started queuing up; all the other people getting on the ride were much older. Harry really wasn’t sure about this!
‘Hey guys, why don’t we go on the dodgems, they’re much more fun!’
‘Hahaha’ laughed Jason and Chris ‘Poor little baby Harry is scared, do you want your Mummy and Daddy to come with you, can’t you handle the biiiiiig scaaaary ghost train by yourself?! Hahaha cluck cluck cluck…’
‘Shut up I’m no chicken, let’s go!’
They bought their tickets and sat down, Jason and Chris took the back seats together, so Harry was at the front on his own. There were ghosts all over the walls and big black torn curtains covering the opening. He could hear a howling sound coming from inside, like a werewolf!
The ghost train started to move along slowly, getting closer and closer towards the curtains that lead him into the unknown journey.
Crickety crack, they started to move along faster and faster towards the entrance to see what was really inside. As the train pushed aside the curtains a mist of smoke wafted over the carriage. Harry began to feel paralysed with fear as he entered the pitch black tunnel.
There were ear piercing screams and howls coming from every direction, flashing lights and skeletal outlines moving closer towards them. BANG! A bloody, gruesome head with its eyes popped out leapt right in front of Harry’s face – he screamed! This really wasn’t fun, he didn’t care if Jason and Chris called him chicken, this was really scary!!
He looked behind him, they were gone! Where were they? Maybe they had jumped out at the last minute, or, more likely thought Harry in his scared state, been taken by one of the creatures in here. Either way, Harry was totally alone in this pitch black cavern.
