Halloween was undoubtably one of Lieanna's favorite holidays. Who didn't love to dress up in whatever they felt like, and make a fool out of themselves? At seventeen, she wasn't really into the candy thing anymore. But who didn't like candy? Still, none the less, her and her best friend decided to hit up a haunted house. That was more her thing. There wasn't a whole lot that scared her. Well, besides spiders and tight spaces. She thought those where pretty common fears. She knew that her dear friend, Nell, was not too found of small spaces either. It was one of those oh god help me moments, when she found herself in a small space. She always chose the stairs over the elevators, to avoid that fear of being stuck in the elevator. If that happened, she was pretty sure she would die of a heart attack.
Her costume was more for laughs than anything else. Nell was dressed as a giant bumblebee, so neither of them where going for something scary. Her costume was inspired by "Toddlers and Tiara's"
[/url] and she thought it was pretty funny. She was dressed in all pink, like a princess, complete with the binkie and all. It was merely something she had gotten in pieces from a thrift store, and thought it would be a pretty good halloween costume. Why be scary when you can be funny right? "Well, you ready?" She asked rather excitedly as she looked over at Nell. It was already dark outside, and they where finally being let inside. There where quite a few people who went in ahead of them. Somebody had gone very extravagant on this haunted house. She wrapped her arm around Nell's, biting at her lip. "You scared?" She almost whispered, but with a smile still on her face. She wasn't afraid, but everybody felt a little anxious with these things. She walked beside Nell, her arm still linked, as she glanced up and noticed the fake spider webs. "Could you imagine the size of the damn spider that would have to make those if they where real. Ick. " She shuttered a little bit, and turned her attention back to the darkness ahead of them. She heard somebody up a few paces ahead of them scream, and looked at Nell with a smirk, before proceeding into the darkness. There was only enough light to be able to see the ground enough to walk. She imagined that when they came across something scary, there would be some light around there. Somewhere, anyways. [/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] |

  Nell’s first Halloween had been when she was seventeen. That was the first time she had gone out and dressed up and been introduced to this thing called trick-or-treating. They didn’t really do that back where she came from, she thought that probably parents were too paranoid for that. And they had every right to be. Who knew what was behind every door? She thought the concept to be completely against everything her mother had ever taught her. Knocking on doors, opening up a bag for candy, thanking strangers for their kindness. If she thought about it, she might have wondered if her mother had ever gone trick-or-treating, and if she had, when she stopped. She hadn’t even celebrated Halloween, didn’t celebrate many holidays. Her father had grown up in a Roman Catholic home, but religion had nothing to do with. They didn’t have anything to celebrate, even when her father was around. Sometimes she thought it ironic. The Spanish celebrated everything, even death. In Mexico, they had Dia de los Muertos, and it was a big party with masks and gifts to the departed because that day they came back to earth. But tonight wasn’t for trick-or-treating, or parades in the streets. It was for other kinds of fun.
The girl adjusted her antennas, looking at her bestie. She swayed her hips, and the saggy bumblebee hips waved back and forth. ”I was born ready, baby girl,” she said with an exaggerated wink to accompany her punny joke. She enjoyed their costumes, Nell thought they were pretty good. She’d made her own herself. It took a lot of thinking and effort and screw-ups, but she liked making things. And she didn’t have the best-paying job, which meant that she sometimes needed to make things. She wondered if she told Anna about her way of thinking, if she’d be surprised. After all, Nell lived in a mansion. But the other girl was spendthrift as well, they both were frugal people. For Nell, it came with growing up in the place she did. She couldn’t want for much at all. The actual house was pretty neat, she had to say, they chose a good one. It was set up so that you really couldn’t get lost, which was terrific for Nell. She didn’t even have to follow people to get her bearings. She held onto Anna’s arm and shivered, grinning. ”Terrified.” Being a calm person, it was actually very hard to scare her, even with the cheap surprises when something popped out of the darkness. She had to wonder if maybe she should act more scared for the actor’s sake. But then again, they probably didn’t expect everyone to be terrified out of their minds.
Nell looked around as she walked, half-braced for something to pop out at any moment. But then she let herself relax, because it didn’t really matter. She was just in awe of all the decorations and how realistic they were, wondering how one could make that. Quite different from a bumblebee costume. ”Or maybe they started a spider club and handed out jobs to build their house. Spiders against unemployment.” A good way to combat fear, in her eyes, was to make fun of it. That’s what she did for her kids when they showed a “scary” movie at daycare. She saw the trembling of one boy’s lip and whispered to him, poking fun at the vampire fangs that Barney wore and the bats that were flying around. Make it look smaller. Some of her own fears, even though she didn’t have many, couldn’t be easily made small. How can you make fun of a sickness of the mind? Being closed in? And other things, more recent things. In the darkness, she held out her arms and said, ”Marco!” She waited for an answer. It was another thing that helped keep any fear that may have been there at bay. ”Anna, I see the liightt!” She drew out the word as if it was the greatest thing ever. ”Wait, wait,” Nell flailed. ”What if something’s there to scare us. What should we do?” It was a very important question.

Anna was picky about who called her by her nickname. She usually only let her close friends call her that. She usually went by Lieanna, in school or with people she just met. There where people who liked to call her "Lee - Lee" which she absolutely hated - and she figured that was the reason they called her that. She had learned to just shrug it off and ignore it. It was typically just people in classes who thought it was funny. Nell was probably the only person outside her family who called her Anna on a regular basis. She didn't really ever call her by her full name, and she was alright with that. She could always pick out when Nell was talking to her out of a crowd. She figured that came with the being best friends thing, though.
Anna was directionally challenged, so the fact that the house was easily to navigate was a plus. She was a bit nervous, but these things where supposed to scare you. There was a smile plastered on her face, as there always was when people came to these things. Everybody was teen aged or older, there where no small children at this haunted house. She heard that this one was set up last year, and had been quite a riot, in fact. People enjoyed it haha. "Oh - haha, you are very punny, my little honeybee." Anna laughed a little and shook her head. She wasn't overly concerned with the way she looked. Like most females, she liked to look good, but she didn't spend hours and hours on her appearance. If it was for a formal dance or something she would splurge. She didn't like wearing much make up. She usually wore mascara and light eyeliner, but that was about the extent of it. "I feel ya." She said, with a sarcastic eye roll. She doubted Nell was really scared. It was hard to scare her, but she was sure something in here would scare them both.
Anna wasn't a chicken by any means, but she could be jumpy. She didn't like scary movies, so this was going to be kind of like living one. She hoped it wasn't going to be cheesy. So far the decorations where pretty good. She hoped it would be scary. It would be a waste of money if it wasn't. Although Anna was not very good about saving money as it was, she still didn't like to waste it. Most of her money was spent on clothes that where too expensive, but she bought them anyways. Anna shuttered a little and glanced over at Nell. "Don't say that. That would mean there would be like spiders... everywhere." She shuttered again, voluntarily. She hated spiders, and Nell knew she hated spiders. There wasn't a whole lot that she disliked, but two of those things happened to be Spiders, and small spaces. Two things she hoped she wasn't going to run into today.
She always had fun with Nell. Ever since she met her they had clicked fast. They knew just about everything there was to know about one another. They where inseparable. They could both be total dorks at times, but that was how Anna liked it. That's why we're such good friends. Anna mused to herself as Nell said 'Marco.' Anna smirked a little bit. "Polooo... " She whispered, drawing the word out a bit to make it sound spooky. That was the fun part about these things, right? "The liiiiight!" She replied, in a mocking tone. She could be quite goofy at times. Nell was right though, there was light. She carefully thought over Nell's next question. She had a point. She was sure there was something scary up ahead soon.
"Well as long as we don't kill, injure, or maim what ever jumps out at us, I think we will be okay." She said with a curt nod, taking Nell's arm again. It was more for safety, and she felt her footsteps slow a little bit, biting down on her lip. "Scared yet?" She whispered back to her friend, her eyes a little bit wide as she kept an eye out for anything that might be scary. Being color blind, it was hard for her to pick up on some things. She could see the difference between the dark and the light, so that was easy, but she missed a lot of details. As the approached the light, almost immediatly, a clown with scary features and a bloody face and outfit jumped out at them. His hands where up and raised in claws, and a muffled growl came from him.
Anna screamed, but it sounded more like a squeal, and she jumped to the side. Her grip on Nell's arm had tightened and she pulled Nell off to the side with her. The actor was obviously surprised, because his hands dropped to his knee's and he started laughing. Anna took a deep breath and looked at Nell. "Sorry." She said, the smile coming back across her face, but looking a little embarrassed.

Nell waved a hand in front of her face as if proud of her punny humor. She was sure Anna enjoyed it. Everyone enjoyed a good pun. She poked the fellow Earth girl's side, grinning half-maniacally. God, she was excited. She really liked Halloween, after all. Her maze in the mansion backyard was all set up for it. A terrifying thing, really, especially since no one knew an Earth elemental controlled it. She didn't change it much when people were walking through, no, that wouldn't be a wise idea, especially for someone as paranoid as her about that kind of thing.
She shook her head. Sometimes she wanted to get inside Anna's mind and see what was going on there. It would be very very interesting. "But they'll be too busy working to bother you!" Nell said, laughing a little afterward. Then, she said, "I'm pretty sure they don't have any real spiders. Gotta keep the place clean and all." Couldn't be too certain about that, really. No one knew when a spider could pop up. She was sure it was more of a problem in the suburbs, since in the city there'd never been too much trouble with surprise spiders. She wouldn't have minded them, she adored the little critters. But she wouldn't tell Anna that, lest she freak the girl out.
Nell laughed, flailing her arms about some more for comic effect. They did a good job with the creepiness, in her mind. All the darkness, not knowing what was in there. But it was another thing that she didn't mind. She preferred complete darkness when sleeping especially. Her mother used to sleep with a night light on and she had a feeling why. She enjoyed being the opposite of that woman, of cutting the umbilical cord. She was not Mia Sinclair. She wondered how Anna felt about the dark, and she seemed to be doing great. Which was wonderful for Nell's mama bear tendencies, lest she drag the girl out if anything went wrong.
It said something about them that they could seamlessly joke like this without missing a beat. A lot of the times, it made sense only to them, but she guessed that's how these things usually worked. "Blinded by the light," Nell started to sing, quite out of place with the element that the house was bringing. Nell narrowed her eyes, playing along. "I'll try not to," she said, though she insinuated with her tone that she could make no promises. Of course, Nell would never hurt anyone intentionally. Well, there were some limits to that. There was always grey areas, that was one thing the world guaranteed her.
Nell huddled in close with the girl, smiling a little bit. A lot of it was probably from nerves. The exhilaration did its job well with her. "Uhh..." She said as if really considering it. Then, full denial in her voice, she said, "Nah." Even though she was joking around, it was true at least. She was a tough chica. Not even clowns. The actor didn't scare Nell, no. It was Anna's scream that caused her eyes to widen. She felt her heart beating in her chest, trying to break free of its rib prison. "Holy mother of Marcello" she said under her breath as she recovered. Then she started cracking up along with the actor. "Oh god, I love you..." she said, tears pricking at her eyes as she hugged her bestie. "You made the actor break character! You deserve a medal."
Nell looked over to the "beyond" what must have been around the corner, still holding onto Anna and trying not to smile or laugh. But she was pretty sure that made her night. Nothing would be able to top her reaction. The graduate wished she had taken her phone out for that so she could have snapped a picture. Unfortunately, it would have to stay in her memory. "Think you're good to go the rest of the way?" Nell asked, and there was still a light chuckle in her voice. "I don't think they'd try the same thing so close together." They would most certainly not place two actors near the same spot, if that was any reassurance.

Anna wasn't scared of a whole lot. But everybody was scared of something. She had her reasons for being scared of spiders, as everybody did for every rational fear. Arachnophobia was a very real thing, and spiders just so happened to freak Anna out to the point of shaking. That and tight spaces. The thought of being in a small room full of spiders was almost enough to bring her to tears. She really didn't like them. "Oh I suppose you have a good point." She said, chuckling a little. "Can't have a haunted house dirty, yeah? That might scare away people. " She smiled a shook her head a little. It lightened up the situation a bit. Nell knew that her fear of spiders was very real. It was strange for the earth, or so she thought, to be afraid of a bug.
Anna wasn't afraid of the dark. In her mind, the dark was almost more enjoyable. She wasn't a loner, and it wasn't that she hated being in the light, but the dark was just so much more peaceful. Well, in usual anyways. A haunted house wasn't peaceful no matter what way you looked at it. That was the fun part though. These where the kinds of things that could give small children nightmares. Anna always enjoyed scary movies and things of that nature. She wasn't scared easily by anything. Unless a spider was involved. "Revved up like a deuce... another runner in the night!" Anna sang quietly after her, a smile spreading across her face. They where always joking. Anna's singing voice was playful and not serious, obviously. Nell would know better than most people that Anna was actually a good singer. She in fact, wanted to pursue it as a career eventually.
"Baby try hard, love. Don't think we will ever be aloud back again if we decapitate people." She shook her head a little and laughed quietly. "But it sure does take all the fun out of things." She bit her lip a little and smirked. She wasn't going to purposely hurt or injure somebody, and was obviously joking. Nell understood her humor. That was why they are best friends. She get's me. Anna mused to herself. She was a year younger than Nell, but that didn't seem to bother either of them any. They where simply the best of friends and there wasn't anybody who would question that. They got along flawlessly. All people argued occasionally, but they hadn't ever gotten into a fight or any type of serious drama. Neither of them where that kind of girl.
Fear, no, that wasn't something Anna exhibited a lot. Though she was already nervous and wound up before entering the haunted house. "Suuuuure." She teased, Nudging Nell. She knew Nell was practically fearless, so she was just joking. Though, the clown that jumped out certainly made Anna feel terrified. It was more the sheer shock of it than anything. She wasn't really scared of clowns, but the shock of the bloody clown jumping out was what scared her. She was embarassed afterwords, as the actor was cracking up laughing, and Nell was now too. She glanced at Nell, and was smiling brightly and biting her lip as she hugged Nell back. "That's what I'm here for, entertainment purposes, right?" She laughed, glancing back at the clown, who was now regaining his composure. "A medal, yes I certainly agree." She said, nodding.
That was certainly the best thing to happen all night. She was pretty sure nothing was going to top that. She wouldn't have reacted so freaked out if she hadn't gotten herself so nervous before hand. She had a feeling everybody was going to know about her reaction by the time school started again on Monday. She didn't care, because quiet frankly it was hillarious. Though she was glad it hadn't gotten video taped -at least she hoped not - and that Nell and the actor where the only people who had seen it. "You got it, babes. I'm all good." She said, nudging Nell and still holding onto her. "Even if they do, I've got it this time. Stone faced." She said, trying to put a serious look on her face and picking up her chin a little.
They continued walking, and there where two separate ways to turn now. She didn't see anybody in front of them, but they had spread people pretty far apart when they let them into the house. "Hmm..." She mused aloud, glancing both directions. She could see a light either way, and thought for a moment. "Left or right?" She questioned, glancing at her friend. Without really waiting, she turned to the left and brought Nell along with her. "Too slow, Jo." She joked, as she started walking down the hallway. She didn't see anything, except for an open room. It looked almost like an.. elevator? She thought almost that they took the wrong way, but walked inside and looked around.
"Well this is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen." She said sarcastically, looking around. There was nothing scary in there. That was, until the door closed. The door which they came through. "What the..." She started, looking at Nell, raising an eyebrow. She glanced around, and noticed then that the room was getting smaller. No - the room wasn't getting smaller. The wall's where closing in. That made her heart rate pick up, and she clung to Nell tighter. "Uhm... Nelly? What's going on?" She asked, glancing around. She moved against the wall and looked up. The walls where moving slow, but it was undoubted. They where closing in on them. Oh shit we are going to die...

Nell snapped her fingers together as if having an epiphany. She was very expressive, that one, used her body for a lot. Half because she couldn’t stand still, half because she felt she could get her points across better that was. ”Bad for business, yeah.” The older girl had no doubts in the keeping of the haunted house, because there were conditions that needed to be kept and maintained, health issues and all that. She knew enough about them from simply being in the workforce. She elbowed her friend when she continued on, whispering conspiratorially, ”Now I’m going to sing the rest, and we’ll break out into a musical, and then get our butts hauled out off here. Don’t tempt me.” They could go on forever like that, having a duet when they should be cowering in fear of their surroundings. Nell didn’t cower, she stood up valiantly, wielded her sword for justice and truth. Or something like that, she didn’t know.
She mocked exasperation at Anna’s words, blowing up her bangs in a huff of air. ”If they want real scary, decapitation is the way to go.” It was easy to joke about stuff like that when you knew you weren’t capable of it. But sometimes Nell let herself wonder what she was capable of. She was a murderer--how much lower could she sink? It was a thought that only crossed her mind during weaker moments. It only happened when she was alone, and luckily, she was rarely alone. She had people like Anna to surround herself with. Gripping Anna tighter when she was elbowed, the girl said, ”You’re ruining it, you’re supposed to see through my tough exterior and hold me and pronounce your love. That’s what this entire thing is for.” She huffed as if exasperated. She really didn’t understand how Lieanna hadn’t found love yet, she was a wonderful person. Then again, not everyone was out looking for love. Love tended to find people. It had found her, after all.
Nell nodded, the only thing she was really capable of in her moment of hysterics. It was one of those moments where she wondered if she’d ever stop laughing, or if this would continue on until she lost consciousness. ”Yep, you’re perfect…entertainment,” she got out. She really shouldn’t be laughing so hard about this, but dear god, was it perfect. And she knew Anna wouldn’t mind, the whole ‘laughing with’ deal. Nell could never be cruel enough to laugh at someone else’s misfortunes. ”Right on it. Gonna get it engraved and everything, you better believe.” She was confident that she had her ways, she was pretty good at that kind of thing. It’d be easy for her to come into possession of that. Just don’t ask where she got a lot of her things from--she had connections.
Stone-faced. Nell drew her hand down in front of her face, like an actor preparing for a scene. ”Calm and cool,” she breathed, face red from the exertion. She’d practically given herself a hot flash with the heavy costume she wore, but luckily it wasn’t very in climate, even in the building. Nell considered the question for a moment before settling on eenie meenie minie mo when Anna simply chose for herselfd, pulling her friend along with her so that she had to quickly pivot arou. ”Up yours…Durs,” she said, not able to come up with a better name. She was quick with the comeback, that much was obvious.
Nell gripped Anna’s shoulder, feigning a whimper. ”Now is when you make your move, vato,” she said, grinning. It really wasn’t terrifying at all, but it made Nell suspicious. It was like the quiet in horror movies before something popped out and scared the shit out of you. She was just waiting for something to happen. But then the door closed, and the prickling of fear began. Nell didn’t like closed doors, even in a monitored place like this. ”Uhh…” she said flatly, looking over her shoulder before meeting Anna’s eyes. Before she could say anything else, she noticed the shifting of the walls, for a moment wondering if she was hallucinating. She wasn’t good with stuff like this, but it usually didn’t get so bad. But at her friends reaction, she knew it wasn’t just her.
Her grip on Lieanna was white-knuckled, adrenaline doing its job as it pumped through her system. ”I don’t know,” she said, and even though her voice was steady, inside she felt the tightening of her stomach. The walls were inching closer by the second, and she felt choked up before she managed to get anything else out. ”They wouldn’t do anything to hurt us…” It was hardly reassuring, seeing as the room was getting smaller and smaller and Nell didn’t know whether to close her eyes or not, and just wait for her impending doom. If she shut her eyes, it would all go away, there would be nothing. But before she could do anything like that, her eyes caught something making its way up the wall, inching slowly. She tried to turn Anna away before she caught sight of it, telling her, ”Maybe there’s a lever or something, like in movies.” It certainly felt like a movie, one she’d be delighted to escape from.

Anna and Nell where like the best of friends that best friends could possibly get. They were not afraid to make idiots of themselves in public. She was sure that singing 'Blinded by the Light' constituted as making fools of themselves, but she didn't care. "I'll bet we could get everybody else to sing along." She whispered, laughing quietly. That was a song that everybody knew. If they didn't, they should learn it pretty damn quickly. That was like somebody not knowing the alphabet song, or twinkle twinkle little star - which are actually sang to the same tune. Fun fact of the day, yeah?
"Okaayyyy. I guess your righht." She said. Decapitation was definitely scary. Esspecially if it was two random girls who where doing it. " But damn, I didn't bring my handy dandy ninja sword. Why do I never have it when I'm in need of cutting heads off?" She shrugged as if it was not a big deal. Which it wasn't, she was joking, but she was pretty good at acting like she was serious. It made life more fun. She gripped onto Nell tighter and smiled. "I love you so much baby. I'll never leave you, I promise. Even in the darkness of... a haunted house. Or the terrors of clowns. Through thick and thin... sickness and health..." She laughed a little, shaking her head as she walked with Nell. She did love her, she was her best friend, after all.
Anna wasn't used to making people laugh so hard, but she was to the point where her eyes where watering. It was starting to hurt they had been laughing so hard. The actor even seemed like he hadn't fully regained composure. "I think this may just be the proudest moment of my life, Dearest Nell." She said, once she got her composure. She wiped under her eye, where a small pool of tears seemed to have gathered from laughing so hard. "Oh yeah? Can't wait to see it. I'll wear it all day everyday." She said, laughing a little. She wasn't really expecting Nell to actually get her a medal, but with her best friend, you never really knew what she could do. Together they where unpredictable, but even by herself, Nell could throw some surprises at you.
Anna hadn't taken the time to wait for Nell's response, but her friend didn't seem to resist too much. Anna was okay with that, because even if she had resisted, Anna would have still dragged her along. She knew she wasn't crazy when Nell had the same estranged look on her face. The walls where closing. They where fucking moving. The panic was welling up in her chest, but she told herself to stay calm. Both of the girl's didn't like small, closed, spaces. That much was well known. They where extremely claustrophobic. Nell was a bit worse than anna but neither of them where great with them nonetheless. She was probably holding onto Nell a little tighter than she realized, but the addrenaline rushing through her was probably blocking that out right now.
Nell was her stone wall, her wall of power. She trusted the girl with her life. But when Nell said that they wouldn't do anything to hurt them, she wasn't exactly sure how to reply. "Well.. You wouldn't think so..." Her voice came out almost squeeky. These where the kinds of things that could reduce most people to tears, when they had fears of small spaces as bad as she did. She let Nell turn her away, not exactly sure why, before biting at her lip. She was trying to stay as calm as possible but her pulse was pounding in her ears. "Y- yeah maybe. Let's look." She said, glancing around for a moment, before catching sight of something on the wall and going wide eyed. "Oh god." She replied, taking a step closer to Nell. " Today's the day I'm going to die." She said, gripping her friend, and closing her eyes tightly, just as the walls stopped moving.

Nell stomped her foot indignantly when Lienna said she forgot to bring her ninja sword. "Anna, I told you to get everything you needed before we left, gosh!" She bordered on Napoleon Dynamite a little there, but that only made it better. Lieanna would understand. She always understood Nell, and the older girl took comfort in the fact. Especially when she recalled a letter she once read, her 'friend's' father telling her that no one can hope for anyone to understand them. Nell waved a hand in front of her face as if flattered. "Till death do us part. Amen!" Wasn't that the whole wedding vow deal? She didn't know them, so she couldn't be sure. Maybe she should learn...
Nell could only laugh as she held a hand in front of her mouth, the other holding Anna's arm. She couldn't take it, she was going to burst. Her bestie didn't seem to be doing much better, either, and at least they had that. "You better," Nell said, pointing at her, "Else I'll be mad. And turn green and junk." As if Nell could ever get mad. The two of them were like two little daises minding their own business in a garden. They were Earths, pacifists, pretty innocent. Their antitheses were the Fires, and sometimes Nell stopped to enjoy the irony of her relationship with Josh. In someways they were the same, but in more ways they were complete opposites. And she guessed that was the attraction.
Nell could feel her arm possibly bruising under Anna's grip, but didn't much care because at least that was anchoring her, holding her steady. Even though she really wanted to float away. She could barely so much as sit in a room for too long without getting restless, locked doors unnerved her, but this was a whole new level. "Ay dios, is this a trap for us or what?" she muttered, as if the designers knew there'd be two claustrophic girls tonight. Nell tried to keep a control over her native (kind of) tongue when she was freaking out, it got out of hand sometimes. And she didn't want to concern Anna any more than she probably way at this point in time.
Especially with that damn spider crawling up the wall. Really? Nell thought with frustration exasperated by her environment. This really is going to happen when we're trapped between moving freaking walls? She felt a defensiveness for the girl, trying to keep her sheltered from the creature meandering around, clearly not minding the walls. But then Anna noticed the arachnid and Nell cursed in her head. Damn my suggestions, she thought, turning so that she could rub Anna's back, one arm still holding hers. But then she noticed that the walls were still, only inches from them on either side. "Anna," she murmured. "They stopped. Let's get the heck out of here." Nell was quick to pull her to find the exit, edging away from the spider until they were back into the darkness of the house. More comforting than those mechanized walls. "You all right?" she asked, pausing in her steps for a moment.
