WARNING: Halloween story - its getting creepier.
I threw myself at the wall and started to haul myself up, but it wasn’t easy. The handholds were slippery, and I almost fell twice. I caught sight of Cass, walking easily up the wall, and Fluffy’s shocked face with a smirk. One up for us. Then I lost my grip and almost fell, clinging on by the tips of my fingers. I dragged myself onto the platform and slammed most of my weight onto the pressure plate. Ali and Cass were already at the top, Natalie had just made it, and Sami had remembered she could fly and was shooting up like a blonde rocket. As Sami pounced on her plate, the rope holding Prim was suddenly yanked upwards. Dragging her back through a hole in the ceiling and out of sight. Ali screamed in frustration and leaped, catching the knife arm, swinging around it like a gymnast, and flinging herself up through the hole after Prim.
Neither of them reappeared in the cage until the next morning, when Fluffy appeared, Prim slung over her back, and dragging a struggling Ali by her hair. Ali yowled and twisted madly, kicking out as Fluffy shoved her unceremoniously through the door and tossed Prim in after her. Ali wrapped herself around Prim’s shaking body and hissed at us all, retreating into a dark corner. Her blue eyes were wide, frightened, and she didn’t seem to recognise anyone but Prim. Fluffy smirked.
“Don’t worry, girls. Just one more game, and I’ll let you go... promise,” she purred, and walked away. Ali hissed faintly and nestled her face into Prim’s hair.
Fluffy, you evil child...
