It was breathy and scary and vicious, and my heart

pounded as he taunted me.

Alex and Will either whimpered or laughed, and if I could

see him, I might’ve been scared out of my mind, but like this it

was just…frightening enough. A tingle shot between my

thighs, and I clenched them as I breathed hard.

The cars started moving again, and I felt him linger for a

moment longer before jumping off.

“Oh, he liked you,” Will teased.

My pulse still raced, and everything was warm. I rubbed

my hands down my thighs and tongued one of my fangs,

wondering what was wrong with me that it was kind of a turn

on.

Did I like fear?

Or did I only like it because I knew I was safe?

The ride ended, and we left the car, taking our drinks with

us. I uncapped my beer, taking a gulp to cool down and clear

my throat, suddenly parched.

Tossing it in the trash, we headed for the maze next, and I

took Will’s arm this time, since Alex didn’t want to lead, and I

refused to take up the rear.

Actors reached though walls, grabbing at us, while others

stood in the passageways, lurking still and quiet for some good

jump scares. Hands grabbed at my arms, and I scurried to

Will’s other side, laughing, only to be attacked on that side, as

well.

Of course, there were things I missed that made those two

jump, but I could feel the tight space of the walls and low

ceiling and smell the cold air and soil. It felt like we were

underground, but I knew we weren’t.

We rounded a corner, and Will halted, quickly backing up

into me and stepping on my toe.

“Ouch!” I snapped.
