The Ever Maze

(Its my first story and I had no idea what to type so here you go and by the way this is a fictional story and its going to be a spooky story. IT IS NOT COMPLETE YET.)

This story takes place in Tracy in a two story house. The story starts on Friday and on Friday you don`t have any homework. You are a thirteen year old author (but only online do you make stories) who gets annoyed easily (thanks to your anxiety) and normally feels despondent and sleeps in their clothes. You have two younger siblings, 11 year-old Kirie (Kir ree) and 5 year-old James. You have a cat, Whinnifred (a.k.a Whinnie). You have a mom and dad. Everyone in the house loves to play video games. There are 4 bedrooms, 1 of them is the computer room for whatever reason. The house has 1 living room and a kitchen. Both are down stairs. The bedrooms are upstairs. It also has 2 bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. This house has at few closets along with a pantry that is near the kitchen.

You sighed as you walked home. Your backpack was growing heavy on your backpack but, lucky for you, your house was just in sight. The cat walked by your leg. She made her usual purrr sound she would make when you came back from school.

"Welcome back home, honey." your mother called from the kitchen as you entered.

You stroked the back of your orange tabby cat that you had just picked up. You didn`t reply but instead smiled at your mother.

"How was your day sweetheart?"

You responded

"It was great mom."

and carried Whinnifred to your room upstairs all while carrying your backpack on your back. You set her down on your bunk of the bunk bed (You slept on the bottom because your little 5 year-old brother was scared of the "monsters" in the closet). Your 10 year old sister however, had her own room (that used to belong to you) because your little brother insisted that he wanted you to protect him from the "Eeeeevil closet". Tch! You set your backpack down at the end of the bunk bed near the corner where your study table and the bed meet near the wall on the right side of the ladder. You grabbed your laptop from underneath your bed while Whinnifred snuggled up on your pillow waiting expectantly. It was at this time you noticed your cat was in her loaf of bread form. You could not resist cuddling the fuzzy loaf. You placed your laptop near the end of the lower bunk and gently pressed your face into Whinnifreds fluff. You climbed up on the bottom bunk while still having your face within Whinnie`s fur. Your reeled your face out of her fur and sat by your pillow to pet your cat and play Animal Jam. Your cat started drooling from being petted and kneaded your pillow. She rubbed her face on your hand. You turned your computer on. It took at least 5 to 10 minutes to boot up.

You signed into the computer. It loaded the desktop. It finally loaded the icons on the screen after 3 minutes. took you long enough you thought. Considering the fact that the laptop was given to you since your dad bought a new one for work, you, unfortunately, got the slow one. You clicked on the Animal Jam icon (yes you downloaded the game) and it started its slowly loading again. It loaded after 6 minutes. It popped up with the normal login screen. You signed into Animal Jam and waited for it to load. It loaded after 2 minutes. It loaded your animal. Your animal spawned in Jamaa township. You moved the animal around Jamaa using the arrow keys (and mouse) and started your normal trading with other users. Click Click Click. After a few trades there was one player who continuously made trade requests for the necklace (that you had on trade) and would trade you a... studded collar? Since the necklace was something you could always get, and the player might be trying to troll you anyway, you accepted the trade.

The trade pop up showed with the " are you sure you want to trade your necklace" text. You clicked on yes. You got the studded collar. The person who traded for the necklace sent you a Jam-A-Gram with the text "If you value your family, your pets, your home, or whatever it is that you care for -they sent you another Jam-A-Gram because they hit the limit of the first one- You will not put on that studded collar. Heed my warning for you will reap what you sow.". What on earth? They sent you another Jam-A-Gram with more text "Do not recycle it either, if you do, there is no more turning back.". They sent you one final Jam-A-Gram. "Trade it to someone else or keep it but do not wear it." You where completely confused. ''How bad can a simple virtual item be? Why is this person trying to creep me out? What kind of dumb joke is this? ''You would have shrugged it off but your curiosity got the better of you. You sent Sweetsugarwolf5040 (who was a member at the time) a friend request to get more information about the studded collar but even if it was a joke, it sounded interesting so maybe they would like to help you write a story? You doubted that. She accepted your request and logged out. When she logged out you thought she may never log on again like some online friends of yours.

You hoped she logged in again. You looked at Whinnifred. She looked at you lovingly. you where still petting the american tabby when she rolled over on her back. You rubbed her belly. She was like a little dog. She enjoyed getting her belly rubbed. You left animal jam on and you went to go get Whinnie`s treats in the kitchen. You closed the door behind you as you exited to keep the cat in your room. You made your way down stairs. As you entered the kitchen you saw your little sister at the table with her iPad eating cereal even though it was not even morning.

"No eating cereal with your iPad Kirie." she glared at you "You remember what happend last time you did? You spilled your cereal on it and we had to buy a new one for you because the other one would not turn back on!"

She growled and lifted up her iPad towards you. You took it and put it on the table next to the couch where she usually sat and went back to the kitchen. You opened the cabinet and took the cat treats. You felt Kirie`s glare boring into your back as you walked away with the cat treats. You walked upstairs and entered you and your brothers room. You shook the treats as the cat came out from under the bunk bed. She meowed loudly while looking up at the treats. You gave the cat some treats that you poured into your hand. Your little brother entered the room. He greeted you with a hug.

"Hello James." you said as he watched the cat eat treats from your hand.

He grinned.

"Whinnie is a good kitty." he said petting the purring feline and ignoring your hello.

She was happy. By the time the cat was done eating the treats she was picked up by James and taken up onto the top bunk. You looked outside. Jeez its night time already?

Your mother called, "Alrighty kids time for bed."

"Awww" James responded.

You looked behind you as your mother looked towards James.

"No cats on the top bunk James."

James shook his head in defiance.

"She wont pee on the top bunk again mommy." he whined.

"James, please give mother the cat. Don`t make it difficult." you responded with a tad bit of irritation in your voice.

"Fine.."

he said in annoyance. James handed Whinnifred to mother. She placed the cat on the ground. Whinnie walked in her usual sassy way as she wandered out of you and your brothers room through the open door. James glared you and mother. He huffed in anger and turned around (facing the wall) and laid down on the top bunk. You closed the door, turned off the light, and climbed into bed.

~The next day~

You awoke in a sweaty mess. Tears rolled down your face as you shook. ''It was not real. It was only a nightmare. Nightmares are not real. I am fine. You`re fine. ''You tried calm yourself with these thoughts. ''But it felt so real.. you pushed the dream out of your mind. ''You swiped the tears away and looked around. you sat up and out of the blankets so you could take a shower and change into dry clothes. James came into the room while you where still sitting on the bed.

"Oh! Are you ok? Why are you crying?" he asked, feeling pity for you.

"Ah.. it`s nothing.. it was only a nightmare." you responded in a shaky voice.

Kirie peaked in the door. She was like the devil. She brags and gossips about you and James. However, she only says good things about James even when she is mad at him. She would ridicule and blame you for everything and bragged to her friends about how mean you where to her even though you haven`t even done anything to make her mad at you that day. Most of the time she gets you into trouble just for her enjoyment at home.

"Hahaha! You`re scared of a simple nightmare? Pshhhh! See James that is why I should defend you from the monsters in the closet!" she snapped.

"No! They are older and wiser than you!" James argued back.

She got on your nerves with her boasting. Kirie and James did not get along well. This is might very well be the reason why he was defending you and wanted you to protect him. Kirie glared at James and you. "Everyone has nightmares Kirie!" he said clearly vexed. Kirie hissed. You called her a dolt (a.k.a a stupid person) and she gave you the look of confusion. She clearly did not understand what dolt meant. She glared at you as you grinned.

"Tch! Fine! But if they leave you for dead when the monsters come to get you don`t blame me!"

Kirie slammed the door shut. You made your way to the closet and got some of your dry clothing. You wandered to the shower to clean the sweat off of you.

The dream was still vivid in your mind. There where dull grey brick walls that reached into a vast sky which was an endless black. The worn out walls housed the roots of ivy. Moss grew where blood was shed. The ground was a dark brown that looked as though it was drenched in water. However, the ground was firm and promised not to turn into mush. Fear had pricked your back as you noticed you where not alone and you could not move anything below your neck. A blurred group of animals in front of you stared. They made no noticeable movements. You couldn't quite tell what they looked like but you could see that there where five figures standing there. One was a smokey gray and was taller than all the others. The one next to it was a dull white and was small. The third one was a grayish black mixed with a light blue and was taller then the white smudge but short and fat.. it looked like your fox in a way. The second to last was a colorless navy. It was short and thin but had dots of crimson on both sides. The last was an ill dark green but was taller than the three previously mentioned and was shorter than the grey tall thing. It had white mixed into it. You felt hot breath on the top of your head. You looked up to see a blurry face staring down at you. Its doglike hands were on your shoulders. It stood like a human and wore a silky grey and blood stained suit and black tie. Panic rose in your chest as everything around you quickly started to blur around the face of whatever it is that was staring down at you. Then darkness.

You snapped back to the present. You realized that the water was burning hot. You yelped and turned to knob of the shower to make it colder but not too cold. You washed yourself and got into the clean dry clothes. You exited the shower and started back towards you and your brothers room. You left the door open for Whinnifred. You said good morning to the cat as she pushed her way into the room. You got out your laptop from underneath your bed. You turned it on and logged in to it again. You pulled up Animal Jam and signed in. Sweetsugarwolf5040 was online. You clicked her profile in your buddy list and went to her den. You moved your animal into the door way of the small house.

"OH THANK HEAVENS YOU LISTENED" she answered as you moved your animal in.

Just as you where about to type she answered again.

"Nobody has been following my warnings these days.." her wolf then had a mournful look on its face and tilted its head down.

W''ait.. Animal Jam avatars are not support to do do that. What the- ''

She replied again "But I am glad you did."

It typed too fast for it to be a human. This is the kind of stuff that would happen to you if you were in a poorly typed Animal Jam creepypasta. Just then your animal swiveled its eyes twice (as if telling her that you were there). After that its eyes returned to normal

"Ah! Your with your player too? Fantastic!"

Your animal signaled towards you again but with a little more panic in its eyes.

"Oh don`t bother with the rules of our little universe." as she spoke she turned her head, raised her paw up and down in a shooing way, and rolled her eyes.

Your animal did not change its stance but had a look of pure concern written on its face. Your animal continued to play its breathing animation.

"Well come on. Just show them." the wolf leaned forward towards your animal.

Your animal kept its stance and made its face change back to normal.

"Oooh you`re no fun." the wolf whined.
