Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Date

As I uttered those words, I saw Jana's expression change from the usual stone-cold, to a completely flabbergasted and dumfounded face.

"Wha-?" Her mouth slightly hung open.

In truth, she was not expecting that their date was gonna be happening on a haunted house.

Not even in her wildest dream would she expect something as absurd as that.

I laughed in my mind seeing her finally show a human expression.

Indeed, he was serious. He intended to have their date be on a trip to a haunted house.

This was far from your normal date.

In my thoughts, I wanted to go on a date but in the far depts of my mind, I also wanted to explore a haunted house.

Now this date wasn't supposed to go this way. I changed it midway as I figured Jana was the type to not socialize so would come to dislike movies, generally places where it was surrounded with lots of people.

So taking in mind that I also wanted to explore a haunted house at least once, I combined the two plans and now…here we are.

I also had a hunch that Jana was not your ordinary woman.

When the absurdness of the situation settled in Jane's mind, she finally gave it some thought.

Exploring a haunted house as a date — was definitely out of the norms, also something she did not expect one bit. However, it was an intriguing idea that she would come to not reject immediately.

She was also curious — curious about the experience of exploring a haunted house.

Tak! Tak!

The sounds of steps echoed in the dark creepy hall. There were two flashes of light which came from two shadows.

One girl, one boy.

Jana held her phone for light just as I did the same.

I looked around and I had to admit, the building was really scary and creepy. Added due to the fact it was night time and this building being truly deemed as a true haunted house, I could feel cold sweat drip from my forehead.

Jane stuck close to me also. She showcased the same wariness as I did.

Still we continued on.

Suddenly, as we made a turn, a startling sound boomed.

A fast 'something' went crawling down under us. We had barely caught it in the vicinity of our flashlights when I took a step back and when Jane screamed loudly.

"Kyaaa!!" 

She fell back, tripping in her own steps. At the same time, she had accidentally let go of her phone in fright of the sudden ambush.

I noticed she was about to trip over so in order to save her from that accident, I too let go of my phone and outstretched my hand to her waist.

Both our phone fell to the ground but the good news was I saved Jana from falling.

Now for the bad news…with our phones having escaped our hands and falling to the ground, our flashlights were disabled and we were left with darkness surrounding us.

Instinctively I pulled Jana towards my embrace and held her tight. Jana trembled as she felt my chest on her head.

"Wh-what happened? Wha- where are we? Wh-why is it dark?!! Whats happening!!" She shrieked breaking out of character, she was totally panicking.

I could feel her crumple my shirt with her hands.

Just then, as if the situation couldn't be more frightening with both their hearts literally on the verge of coming out their chest, a sharp scream rang out.

I felt my hair stood up almost simultaneously and I could say the same thing for Jane as well.

Her body trembled intensely. She dug deeper into my chest as if wanting to enter it for protection.

I was sweating with beads at this point.

That scream totally shook our minds!!

"I-it was just a cat! It must be! Thats it! A cat!!" I exclaimed trying to be reassuring but actually my voice was shaking like shit.

That did not sound reassuring at all!!

"Fi-find our phones, we need light!" Jana stammered.

I agreed, the problem was…

"I-its too dark…I can't see much!"

I couldn't see anything at all. It was too damn dark!

As I said those words, I tried to back off and let go of my hold of Jana when she screamed, "Don't leave me!!"

I shuddered.

I placed my hand on her back with our embrace becoming tighter.

Ohh~ what kind of situation had I put myself into.

Placed in a dark encapsulated room with no source of light along with a stranger in close body contact.

Sheeesh.

I breathed in.

Hmmm?

My brows furrowed.

"Did you pee?"

My mind went blank.
