A haunted house? You aren't really sure about this...

Its nightmare night, and almost midnight at that. Spooky. Wow. You and your friends are trick or treating, and all the costumes are so lame.

But what happens when your two accomplices notice your boredom and dare you to go into the haunted house?

Can you survive?

Start here

"Ya... Ya know guys, I'm really not so sure about this..."

"Oh come on Scootaloo!  It was you who said you were bored!"

You stare at the old, rickety house looming above you and gulp involuntarily.  The door hangs weakly from rusty, creaky hinges.  The windows are shattered and you spot an unknown liquid dripping from what looks like the third floor.  For a moment, you are completely frozen with fear.  You pin your ears against your head and feel your heart beating maniacly.  But... your friends aren't scared.  So why should you be?  You swallow you fear and, hooves still shaking slightly, force a smile.

"Ya!  Lets go in!  Its not like its actually haunted!"

"Great!  Lets go in!"

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom both race up the dusty wood steps and slip through the doors self-hazardly as they swing on their hinges.  You gulp and follow them inside.  It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the murky, dim light, but once they do you see an old living room. the furniture consists of a torn up couch, an immensly dirty rug, a ridiculous amount of sticky, age old cobwebs, and a small bookshelf adorned with reading material.  Suddenly you hear a loud slamming noise, followed by a click.  You spin around and gasp as you see a firmly locked door that does not in any way resemble the creaky menaces you saw outside.  These doors are polished, thick, sealed, and firmly shut.  You and your friends race up to the door and kick it, trying to get it open, but you don't make a dent or cause it to budge.

"We'll have to find another way out..."

Go upstairs- Section A

Enter the kitchen- Section B

Section A

"I guess we should look upstairs.  There might be something we can use to break the door."

You gulp, thinking that you just supplied a bad idea.  Never the less, your friends seem to trust you more then you trust yourself.  You put on a falsely brave face and march to the crooked stairs in the corner, wincing as the floorboards creak.  You reach the foot of the stairs and take a deep breath as you set foot on the first stair.  It seems firm enough, so you continue.  You're almost to the top when you hear a shriek.  You whip your head back and see Apple Bloom being dragged through the stairs.

Right through them.  There isn't a hole in the wood.  Shes just sinking down.

"APPLEBLOOM!" You and Sweetie belle screech frantically, both hurrying to try to help your friend.

"GUYS!  HEYLP!" Apple Bloom cries desperately, half of her body already sunk through the rickety stairs.  You grasp hold of her hoof and pull, as does Sweetie belle, but you both seem to have little to no effect.  Apple Bloom cries out as she is dragged completely under the stairs.  You scream, eyes widening, and you see Sweetie Belle starting to cry.

Go under the stairs- Go to C

Keep going- go to D

Section B

"Come on girls.  Lets not panic.  We should look in the kitchen, maybe theres a window we can get out of!"

You sure hope Sweetie Belle knows what shes doing.  The unicorn filly leads you and Apple Bloom through the doorway (which you can't help but notice is lacking a door) and enter the kitchen.  You immediately scrunch up your nose.

"Eww!"  The smell in here is putrid.  It reaks of moldy food, spoiled milk, and a faint hint of animal scat.  You decide that you're going to breathe through your mouth the rest of the time in here.  You and the two other fillies creep forward, getting a sense of your surroundings.  A sticky looking fridge sits loominously on the south wall, and an old table sits opposite.

But at the end of the room, there's a window without any glass.  Sweetie belle cries a victory yowl and skids across the tile floor over to the window, bracing her little legs and jumping out.  You and Apple Bloom follow hurriedly, eyes worried, and repeat the same pattern.  You find that you have landed on top of Apple Bloom, whom you are squishing, and you hurriedly get off of her.  She sighs, groans, and gets up from the cold metal floor.  You look up and see Sweetie belle staring in horror behind you.

"Sweetie Belle, what is it?" You quickly see what "it" is as you turn around and see that the window you came from is gone- replaced by solid wall.  Sweetie Belle starts to panic.

"OH NO!  WE'RE GONNA DIE IN HERE!"  You and Apple Bloom are startled by her sudden exclamation and you sigh.

"Sweetie Belle, shut up!  If we use our heads, we can get out."  You gulp, hoping you sound braver then you feel as you survey the room.  This looks like a bathroom, hence the broken toilet in the corner.  There aren't any doors or windows, but there is an air vent on the ceiling.

Try to get through the air vent- go to E

Stay put- go to F

Section C

"Lets go get her!" Sweetie Belle says, charging back down the stairs and
