The group continued to follow the well-worn path to the corn field, pausing at the entrance to the maze. A gentle wind brushed past, rustling the corn stalks, an eerie feeling settling on the maze. With no hesitation, Haunt strode into the maze with Havoc only a few steps behind. Stanly had left Somnus’ side to follow Havoc, deeming him the safest. Next came a slightly subdued Firefly who still had a bounce to her step. Tish was now the one walking with Somnus, eyeing the maze with dread. She worried that there would be spiders... or even worse, spider webs hidden in the maze. Havoc, having noticed Tish’s hesitation called back “Come on! We don’t want to be known as the cowards of the pumpkin cabin forever...!” Tish squared her shoulders and nudged Somnus forward, following the rest into the maze.

 

 

 

Within the maze, the group avoided any of the branching paths, moving straight when suddenly, a big white thing with dark empty eyes came flying at them. Its sudden appearance had even Haunt and Havoc backing up. It was too much for poor Firefly, who cried out “GHOST!!” and bolted off. Without hesitation, Tish, Stanly, and even a slightly more awake Somnus followed suit. The remaining two let out big sighs and turned to follow the retreating group, not wanting to split up the group, even if they both wanted to debunk the “ghost”.
