Luke went running up to the building entrance. âStop right there!â I called, chasing after him. âWeâre not doing this. No way!â
He read the sign out loud: âElevator Shaft Ride. Worldâs Fastest Free Fall. Itâs a Scream. Drop in Anytime.â
I grabbed Lukeâs shoulders with both hands and started to march him away. âBut it sounds cool!â he protested.
âNot cool. No way Iâm going to go falling down an elevator shaft,â I told him.
âCanât we get something to eat?â Clay whined.
Luke waved a fist in front of Clayâs face. âHow about a knuckle sandwich?â he grinned.
âLuke, thatâs so lame,â I said. âDonât you ever get tired of saying dumb things like that?â
âNo,â he replied.
âTime is passing,â Derek said, checking his watch. âWe need to find something really dangerous.â
âHeyâthereâs a food cart,â Clay cried.
I turned and saw a short female Horror in a purple apron pushing a small purple cart. The three of us headed over to it. But I stopped when I read the words painted in bright yellow on the side: CARAMEL HEADS.
âWhat is that?â I cried.
The Horror motioned to the cart. âShrunken heads on a stick,â she replied, âcovered in caramel.â
âYuck.â I felt my stomach churn.
âThe outside is very sweet,â the Horror told us. âThe head inside is kind of sour. Except for the eyeballs.â
She held one out to us. It looked like a caramel apple. Except beneath the thick, gooey layer of brown caramel, I could see two closed eyes and the bump of a nose.
Clay groaned. I covered my mouth.
âThat headâit isnât real, right?â Luke asked.
âRight,â the Horror answered. And then she burst out laughing. âWe would never use real heads here in HorrorLandâwould we?â she asked sarcastically.
She raised the stick toward us. âHow many do you want? One for each of you? Or more? You know, two heads are better than one.â She laughed again.
We didnât laugh. I squinted at the caramel-covered head. At the closed eyes, the ears poking through the brown goo ⦠the lips â¦
And then I let out a gasp as the lips parted. Through the layer of caramel, I saw the mouth open. Saw it move. Saw the tiny lips silently form the words: âHelp ⦠me â¦â
âWe donât want any!â The scream burst from my mouth.
I spun around searching for the Stranges. were they taping this? Did they see the lips move on the shrunken head?
No. They were gone. They had vanished again.
The Horror pushed her cart away, chuckling to herself, her tail wagging behind her.
Clay grabbed my arm, his face pale, his chin quivering. âLizzy, did you see that? Was that real?â he whispered.
I shrugged. âI donât know. Weâve got to find Derek and Margo. They disappeared again, and we donât know what they want us to do next.â
âMaybe they went up ahead,â Luke suggested. He began half skipping, half dancing down the path.
âLukeâwait up!â I called after him. âWeâre supposed to stick together.â
We made our way past the dark towers of Draculaâs Castle and then something called the Insect Garden.
