I have to get her out. I have to. I say to myself coughing for air.
I went to school after briefly washing my face not looking into my mirror since I was in a hurry. I jogged my way over.
"Hey!" A familiar voice says.
I turned and saw it was my best friend ever let's call him "Y".
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask.
"I don't know dude you just seem a bit...off..." He looked upset as if just looking at me stressed him out.
"It's nothing." I say without thinking.
"Whatever man" He walked off.
That was...weird. Things were off and started to feel a little weird and different.
I walked down the hall. With my books in hand I was in a rush and bumped into someone.
"Sorry sorry sorry!" I scramble.
"Ow! It's ok." She replied and I sighed and then I saw who it was. With a flick of her blood red hair I was enamored. I nearly clasp my beating chest. It was R. The girl I was dating and hope to marry.
She looked at me and smiled. Then I smiled. We blushed. I scratched the back of my head and stopped.
"Um...so are you going to the party tonight?" She asked me.
"Yeah, uh, sure...which one?" I stumbled.
"Silly! The one at Y's! Not some jock football night s**t!" She said depressed and laughed and scoffed.
"Oh, right!" I connected. How could I forget? It was Halloween! That's Y's birthday too! I guess I just felt off because it was a different time.
She giggled and pulled at my sleeve biting her lip.
"Call me!" She said.
We kiss and hear the bell and head off to class.
I smiled a little leaning back on my locker.
"Haha! What was that?" I knew who it is.
"Nothing shut up!" I sensitive say. I looked off and hanged my head down. It was K. The star quarterback and bully of my school and entire life.
"I saw you with her...dead meat."
I ignore him. Or try to.
"She's a ******** slut I bet I can take her I am going to the party afterall besides what made you think you'd be her first anything with that rack?"
I growled and did teeth. I wanted to kick his a** so bad but I couldn't be late. And I couldn't kill him or at least not just yet.
"That's not true...!" I did fists.
I went to class with those words in my mind.
"Hey man you okay?" Y asked again.
"No. How could you let that slime go to your party this time of year?" I snapped. Like what was he thinking with that?
"What who?"
"Him."
"Oh. Ohh..." He picked up.
"Yeah?"
"I didn't! Wait what!" He opened his owl eyes.
"Y how could you do this to me?" I cried.
"Why would I want to watch The Corpse Bride with that meathead a** pimple?" He was true enough.
I almost said I agreed then we heard something.
"Sh! Hush up!" He said to me. We overheard them and their plans.
"I can't believe they ******** fell for it!" A girl giggled.
"I know what ilk!" A man replied.
"Let's crash this little kid's goth party we'll bring so many people that there's no way to make them disagree. Besides I hear he's got a mansion!"
"He has a mansion too? Grr!" K's cheerleader valley girlfriend A said.
"I know! The nerve!" They do some graphic PDA and walk off.
They left walking distance. That's when we knew we need a plan.
"Dude what should we do?" I asked.
"We need a plan."
"A spooky one! If we get the props and do a ouija board and the like we'll scare them shitless!" We smiled.
"Or even kill them!" He laughed at his own joke.
"Let's do this!" I said and he cracked his knuckles.
"But first." He said.
"What?"
"Our costumes! The piece de resistance!" He was right. That would scare them too! Hell we already haunted our houses and everything considering all the urban legends we tried.
We went to a store that was full to the rim with Halloween goods but it looked empty like no one was there or maybe even dusty. We walked slow in.
"Hello?" I asked to a fault.
Y smacked my arm. He didn't want me damned like those horror cliches. Besides the dead silentness was starting to make him shake too.
"Welcome!" A man said like a jump scare. We screamed and launched back until he did the most retarded evil laugh possible.
"Welcome to Halloween Store!" The weirdo said.
"Yeah we know it's a Halloween store but..."
"No that's what we are called. Halloween Store."
"Never heard of it..." Y said uncomfortable but fast.
"Would you like a tour?" That's when our creep detectors went off because despite the size it was all very empty and the stuff lined the walls with very few lines. Y pulled my shirt.
"Ahem." I said nice to a fault. "Maybe next time..." Y tugged me again.
"Oh, alright." The man said disappointed.
We walked away Y said in a loud whisper "Don't ever do that again! That guy's a ***** and he could kill us!"
"How about kindness towards others?" I got mad.
"Yeah but you haven't even stood up to K for YEARS same with his other croonies." He had a point but me too.
"Then I revoke my vows tonight. I agreed to our plan already anyways." We shook hands. We found some costumes mine was like Jeff The Killer makeup and all mixed with a skeleton and Y's made him look like a shadow and you could only see the eyes. I grabbed some others like legs, feet, bats, and spiders. We were on both sides of the room so I was alone. I got uneasy again as I got to a specially small shelf and almost the only hall even though I never saw it there before. It was like a secret room in like that that I shouldn't have messed with it.
I bent over looking at some masks and got distracted by this beautiful vintage mirror until I heard a pop. I gasped. I jump right up.
"Oh, hey!" I said putting my hands behind my back almost wanting to steal the mirror but also because I felt like I disturbed something I wasn't supposed to touch.
The man from before was there and he stood closer to me than expected.
"Lovely mirror is it not?" I nodded a lot.
"It's been passed down in my family for centuries." I was interested. Maybe this guy wasn't crazy and was just unique. Y is a guard dog in all the sense.
"It's a beauty but as I've grown in age I've been trying to sell it away but it always comes back to me as I have done this on nearly 66 occasions." I gulped. I was happy he didn't say 666 but also disappointed.
"Why give it away? It's worth a fortune." I thought out loud. It was like I read his mind. He stammered and was about to cry.
"I'm tired of it. I can't take anymore."
"Take it!" He shouted.
"No!" I replied for some reason.
"Take the damn thing! It's free now! Free! It wants you! You and all of your sons!" He freaked and foamed at the mouth and with his hooked hand he pulled out a knife.
I ran "Y we have to go!"
"Why?" He asked still looking at the stuff.
"You were right! Run just run! Run run run!" Just in case I get my phone and took video and pictures Blair witch style just in case. I saw the man transform into an animal with demon eyes or at least he ran like one. We finally got away from that accursed place. I was panting.
"Hey wait a moment." Y said stopping we turned around not even a mile from the place and see it's an empty warehouse no one was ever there we even urban expored and checked and caught some spirit orbs but hardly anything else but a scrap of paper that said it was from the 1800's
"Whoa. Spooky." Y was as scared as I was. Luckily we still had all we pretty much stole and it could have been haunted but we took the rest. I looked down and realize the WHOLE TIME I was holding that mirror. We packed it all up in his car.
"Dude what's that?" He asked me.
"The mirror-I mean, A mirror!" I stuttered holding it.
"Right haha." He said belting us before driving off.
I clutched it. Should I tell him? No, I thought. There's no way this hookhanded demon monster existed of this plane.
We got some more stuff like foods and drinks and I remained in the car tired as ever been as if my life was being sucked out and like I had been in this world before it even existed. I shrugged it off as stress. I threw that dumb mirror in the back of his car. Then he drove us home. We painted our faces(not makeup). I felt I was going to die without seeing my face in that mirror.
We set it all up everything was ghastly frightening we had Charlie Charlie, Ouija, and cobwebs and everything there and his living room was a theater playing all the classes on high volume.
We rolled out a coffin and got our gothrock radio playlist on and we even got sound effects like screams serial killer theme songs. I scrolled my iPhone.
"You ready to do this bro?" I said sounding like him. I wonder why I was even acting different too.
"I know we don't usually do this but" Youkai got us some shots.
"Cheers!" We said as we drank and had a cig before the circus arrived. We needed it after all.
At first there was no one. Just a few. Like our immediate friends and gfs. Y's girl KK came short notice as The Corpse Bride. Then some more and more. And then. The center of interest R came out. Boy was she pretty! She dressed as a vampire with purple lipstick and black and red dress with her red hair down. She approached me.
"Hi!" She waved.
"H-ha-hi..." I stuttered.
"I've got to say...I love the mask." She smirked. She knew it was paint.
"Haha. So how's it going?" I get awkward fast.
"As good as it can be..." She said looking down away.
I held her shoulders.
"Did you know about the?"
"The what?" She said too loud but whispered.
"The plan..."
"What are you even talking about?" This made me mad.
"You haven't heard?"
"Haven't heard of what?"
"You haven't?"
"What?"
"The whole school is in on it!" I tried not yelling.
"What are they doing?" She raised a brow.
"They're sending a bunch of people outside the group to come ruin the party by spiking the punch and cornering our small group of goth nerds. They also wanted to talk s**t and steal the glory like it's own haunted house or something."
"This is a Halloween party EVERYONE is invited."
"See? That's what they told everyone." She gasped. She then wanted to walk away and process this but then I grabbed her arm.
"Do NOT let what people say get you down." I looked serious. She blinked.
"I mean it. I know you can defend yourself but I'm watching you like a hawk."
"Where...where is this coming from?" The anger was the kind I had all day but I did seem off.
"Stay with me, Kk, Y, and stay away from that jock K especially! I'll explain later bye!" I stormed off and kissed her goodbye for now.
I charged into the bathroom not looking up at that mirror all were inferior the mirror I got before was the perfect size for me to check the paint on my eyes. I broke things in the car and broke things left and right then I found it. Sometimes the braid rim is purple and the glass is red vice versa. It was red inside.
"I wonder if..." I thought about to solve a mystery.
I end up hyonotized almost watching it for an hour. I only noticed until Y came in. I jumped.
"Hey are you alright?" Again?
I laughed nervously with mania in my eyes
"Hehe. Yeah." I smiled.
"Besides people are still coming and we're waiting for all to arrive." He exposed and I nodded.
I looked and saw that my costume looked more real then I expected. I smiled almost evil. I looked how badass and tough I looked. I felt like I could use a little something though. I wandered around watching people from the corner of my eye and went to kitchen and took a good sized knife and put in my pocket. I went back to the mirror again. I could use a little something more. I ran my hands in my hair and messed it up. Curious though I looked in the big mirror. At first I looked like myself getting an evil smirk then a skeleton and a ghost of myself but also that man and his demonic eyes of fire yelled at me I screamed and looked down to the side. I nearly smashed it but ran out of the room screaming.
I said "SHUT THE ******** UP" as loud as I could but no one notice so I came to the front knowing the apes would come in.
Then what walked in slowly was K and his slutty b***h girlfriend A wearing a slutty angel costume. I rolled my eyes. She glared at my gf R. I glared harder and she got scared.
"Hey!" K shouted. In nothing but a football uniform.
"HEY!" I shouted louder face to his.
He flinched.
"Happy Halloween!" I waved as he walked up.
"Tch. Whatever." He said trying to step me off.
"Help yourself any food and drinks you unsobered d***o-" Y said but I covered his mouth.
He didn't seem to notice. Good.
I still had to hold him off from ******** up all the town's water so to speak.
After some minutes the king himself(k) already got bored.
"When are we actually going to get some entertainment going here?" He said. Everyone was having a good time but him.
"yes!" I said. "We have a few things planned."
We gathered everyone around.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" I grandstanded.
They all turned. I was glad Y gave me a microphone this time.
"In honor of Y's birthday being the spookiest night of the year..." They raised eyebrows. I gulped and stopped then R looked up at me with hopeful eyes. "We are officially going to be doing every dirty deed, every hex, every urban legend to test our wits and see if something beyond the grave and down below will answer us! The only way to do this..." Y flicked a switch for a lightning effect so people jumped. "is to do it all!"
"What if we don't want to?" K asked.
"Then thou must leave." I smiled at his face. I knew this was a matter of pride for him and he wouldn't say no to a challenge.
"So? Now that we all have this finished let's start the events shall we?"
"Let's." K put a hand out.
"Let's play a game of Clue." We said.
"Pfft. What? The board game?" K and A asked.
"No. Mafia! We're talking ACTUAL murder mystery."
"WHAT?"
"As in we hand out cards and 1 person has the murderer card and there's a card for everyone in the order of who dies and every time the lights go off a new person leaves the room to die so we could find out who."
Y and I gave out the cards at random but I made sure R's card wasn't the 1st death.
We all looked at our cards. K smirked at his before tucking his away. I immediately felt sick and almost didn't want to check mine. I was either the murderer I thought or he was. A was just looking in her mirror.
The nights flickered off ominously almost like the power went out and no one flipped the switch.
The first to go was A. She accurately screamed bloody murder in the dark. We all turned and gasped. It was like she disappeared and didn't get dragged and disappeared into thin air. We saw a blood spot where she was.
"Very funny you little p***k!" K announced picking me up by the shirt slamming me to the wall.
"Hey hey whoa!" People separated us.
"This was all his plan all along!" He points to me.
"Where do they go?" He screamed over and over.
"I don't know..." I choked. I hadn't seen my card but I KNEW he couldn't have had the murderer card then.
"Then that's 2 people that aren't the murderer." Y said.
"Actually...you could make it 3..." My hand dropped my crumpled card.
Everyone sighed. The game was getting too real.
"How did that blood even get there?" Someone asked.
"I...I don't know." I replied.
"I thought this was a part of the game." Y's girlfriend stammered.
"It doesn't matter. We may have a real murder on our hands." I said. I looked to Y. It was his birthday I almost expected he planned it for effect.
He said nothing.
"I vote we stop playing." My girlfriend said mad and sad.
The light flipped again. This time we all heard a low pitched growl like a hungry beast. She gasped and turned around I was so worried his next meal was her.
The light went back on and another person disappeared. Then another.
"This has to be some kind of prank." A girl whined.
"Let's play something else so whoever is doing this can stop." Kk said as R would have but she was so close that time that she was crying and mumbling a lot. She held her then I did.
"We can play this 1 with the lights on." I said serious. I put an arm on my girl. I thought of the mirror but also the other possibilities. Whoever was going this far to prank this specific thing can't have had material for the other games. I was glad we weren't in a cabin in the woods at least.
"Let's play a game where everyone can survive." K said.
I glared at him. I wouldn't be shocked if he had something to do with this.
"Let's do a ritual." I suggested to which Y nodded.
The guy almost raised his voice again.
"Don't turn this into a discussion on religious beliefs. This can apply to any."
He almost gasped and stopped.
"This tests your spirit level. You close your eyes and walk around the house opening doors and whatever you see like ghosts and shadow people can determine your level depending on how many you see. Memorize the surroundings before you go."
"I think I've done this 1 before." 1 of our girls said.
R gulped.
"It's ok. I'll follow you into every room, Ok?" I held her hand but she still had the shakes.
"Ok." She nods.
"What if we're not alone in this house?" She whispered.
"I'll protect you." I looked deep into her eyes.
She nodded again blushing looking down.
We clutched hands and we all tried this 1. The jock tried to use this as an excuse to try and touch on R but since he was squinting his eyes instead of closing them he saw me and didn't even bother.
I gave him a look to tell him to remember that he had to do all of these to beat me.
I tried to ignore the ******** and closed my eyes. Even in rooms where the mirror wasn't I saw mirrors everywhere along with several shadow people and ghosts with long hair in their faces. I also saw the ghost of A warning me to get out and avoid the mirror revealing that hers was broken which was good because if her mirror killed her then it died and couldn't harm us.
"Leave now and fear the mirror!" She said screaming with empty bleeding sockets for eyes her once tan skin now pale.
I ran out. Those mirrors could also be clones of her evil 1. They could have been a lot of things.
I bumped into R and she was stiff.
"R?" I asked.
Her eyes were wide open but all white like she was possessed. I held her shoulders. She couldn't move and seemed dead. I cried and shaked her.
"Wake up wake up!" I shouted.
"Beware the mirror!" She moaned and she pointed.
I looked. In the corner was a bloody butcher knife, A's missing eyes and blood, and a dirty broken mirror with smeared make-up and a weird shadowy reflection in it. I gasped. Then the door behind us was locked from the inside out and we were trapped and I shook her as the mirror pieces flowed back together then the disembodied shadow of a figure of a person was forming and picking up the knife.
I screamed "Help!"
R convulsed and had a seizure.
The door exploded open as quickly as it locked. I gasped and screamed and R came back K and Y looked armed and on edge.
"What happened?" They asked me and I asked back at the same time.
The pile in the corner collapsed but there was still a shadow but they couldn't see it. Only I could.
"Where's KK?" I shout fear still in my eyes.
"She just disappeared." K said.
Y looked down empty and depressed like he still wasn't over it. Apparently she disappeared into thin air after screaming and looking like she was trapped in a Saw trap or glass then just faded like a ghost. She looked like a mime act.
"All that was left behind were her glasses." Y said sadly looking down.
"Put those things down!" I screamed.
"Why?" He asked.
I pointed. They were mirror lenses maybe he didn't see them and wanted to keep the glasses as a keepsake to remember her by but I couldn't let my best friend die. I rip them out of his hands and throw them against the wall breaking them.
"What the ******** is wrong with you?" He screamed.
I pointed at the corner.
All that was there now was the figure but it disappeared as I walked out and no 1 else saw it but R in her coma.
She came to.
"Guys I think I just had a vision!" She said suddenly normal.
I looked surprised.
"What's that supposed to mean?" K asked.
"I saw shadow figures not just the usual lingering ghosts but 5! They were of us including A and KK!"
They gave her a look but I listened.
"I think that means we're dead!"
I gasped shouting.
"I didn't just see us specifically or the others. I saw a woman with long dark hair in her face with empty sockets for eyes that were bleeding. She was crying!"
"That's exactly what I saw!" I said.
"Did she say anything?" I asked.
"Beware the mirror." She looked like a zombie as she said that.
"So you mean like my girlfriend's mirror?" K asked as I was thinking.
"No?"
"Then which 1 is it?" Y's voice cracked.
She started to get possessed and point again but I think since the ghost lost some of her power she stopped.
"I don't know." She shook her head falling over.
I caught her. She nearly fainted.
"Let's play a different game." I said with strain. I looked up and saw no 1. Then I saw the guys again but realized almost everyone in fact EVERYONE but us was gone. I gasped. I looked down sad.
"Why another game? You're getting us killed!" K shouted.
"No I'm not you are!" I argued at him.
"Then how come you get most of the say?" He shouted about to punch me.
"That makes no sense!" I shouted. As if any of this did.
"Guys! This is my birthday party and I chose all of this! Let's just agree it's my fault or everyone's. Right now we need a plan!" Y shouted over us.
"But plans got us here in the 1st place you welp!" K rounded up a fist.
I gently put down R and caught it.
"Kevin! Calm down!" I screamed.
"You're right." Y said flatly down.
We all looked over.
"You're right. Plans got us here. We either plan around plan, do nothing and die, or use our other plans and fix this."
"You're crazy!" I said but stopped myself.
Y was right.
"It's a spirit, right?" Y said looking at K but I knew he was talking to me.
"Right." I put the pieces together.
"So how do you talk to a ghost?" He asked knowing the answer.
I snapped my fingers. "The ouija board!"
"We were going to play anyways." Y had a point.
"Oh no. No no no..." K denied flippantly. "I am not doing anymore of this gothic Satanic horseshit!"
"Sue it yourself. I guess your gf could have died in vain." I said this because I knew it would make him mad but also stay.
He growled. "Fine."
We turned off all the lights and lit some candles and got a seance table and put the board on it mostly being supported by our legs. We didn't want to fool around but considering all the disturbance we figured we'd take things slower.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"S-A-T-A-N" I shook my head and laughed.
"That's not funny." Then I asked again.
R suddenly sat up I turned around which made the planchette slip a little.
"Here hold this guys." I said as they rolled their eyes at me.
"Hey, are you ok?" I asked.
"You asked me a question first." She said while looking her cheery self to an extent it was still with malice.
"What?" I turned and jump around and see the planchette flail around moving with no hands on it.
"I'm bored now and that's very dangerous." As she said that it was perfectly in sync with the board. She made an evil laugh. Her eyes seemed to change a little getting lighter and lighter and getting a glasglow Joker smile.
Then I realized I had to pay attention to the board. R was merely a vessel.
"What's your REAL name?" I asked sweating.
"B-L-O-O-D-Y M-A-R-Y"
I cringed but looked past it. The guys were giving me a look. I think it listened to me more since it was in R.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"T-O P-L-A-Y"
I heard a mix of a feral growl, a woman's scream, and an evil little girl laughing.
"What do you want to play now?" I asked smart trying no to look at R so much.
"H-I-D-E A-N-D S-E-E-K"
"How?" Y asked raising a brow.
"F-I-N-D M-E"
"How?" He repeated.
Then we heard a whine from upstairs. It was the sound of a long loud creak.
I gulped and jumped a little.
"Let's go." I said.
Y put an arm in front of me. "Only I know what is up there."
"No, Y! Don't do it, bro! You could end up like the others!"
"This is for me and me alone. Only I know what is up there. There's a reason why I keep it there." He said like a robot.
"No!" I shouted again but he just went up the stairs. The creaks were loud and long and teased a lot. I bit my nails. I hear every step and the door creak open. Then I hear a shuffle. Like a shot was fired or there was a fight upstairs. I run up the stairs and see Y standing there with a blank face.
"Hello. Hi there!" I said.
He looked mad.
"I'm-I'm sorry I'll go-" I said thinking he's possessed too.
Then I see the surprise inside his hand. A creepy old victorian doll.
"I keep this upstairs because..."
I gasped as he said this and took a step back as he got closer.
"Because..."
Another step.
"Because..."
And another.
"Because I'm embarassed my grandma got me this doll as a gift!"
Before I could laugh I felt myself fall down the stairs. I took 1 step too many. I fell all the way down and broke my leg.
"s**t s**t s**t!" Youkai screamed running down after me throwing the doll causing him to trip and fall down as well.
The doll landed right next to me. I looked at those big bottomless eyes and that stiff porcelain face then her head jolt around and snaps and she talks saying "Wanna play?"
I screamed and jump back a little bit. Y broke something too. His arm. Knowing R was alone with K though we struggled to our feet forgetting our new little friend and going to check on her. Who knew what could happen next? R and K seemed fine but K seemed emotionally disturbed and R's face was as stiff and lifeless as the doll's and she had what looked like a painted on smile with blood.
"K..." I panted. "Is...are you safe?" I didn't ask what I was feeling of course.
"She...she..." He stuttered.
"She what?" Y and I groaned.
She twitched and turned around and gave us a pointy tooth grin holding the lipstick she was using to overdraw that cartoonish evil smile. I stared at the tube of lipstick blood was overcoated the tip but it wasn't the actual color. It was very pink and not at all her style.
"A's blood...she took it and said it...it keeps her alive and makes her pretty and makes the mirror happy..."
"It's true." She said in a low demonic manly voice through fangs and vomit.
I got tears in my eyes and puked so did the other 2.
She started rubbing blood on her face and messed up her hair.
"Beware the mirror. Beauty kills." She says deranged like a maniac.
"You...you're sick." I said cringing.
"If you don't keep playing with me I'll kill you!" She shouted glaring me down while still smiling.
We limped sheepishly back. K elbowed me and whispered in my ear as I sat down next to him.
"You dork all these games we're supposed to play will kill us."
"They're supposed to but they haven't. Not yet." I glared down scared.
"I know. It's a shame." She said popping up right behind us.
We jumped. I gasped and screamed.
"Don't act like I didn't hear you. All the walls in this house are now my ears." She got out a butcher knife.
I gulped and sucked in my cries.
We go back to using the board.
"Ahem." I say. "What game must we play now?"
"I S-P-Y"
"You first." I gulp a nervous laugh.
I hear a roar like a werewolf and the hot breath of a monster right on me but also the chill as if this was a haunted house with another spirit nearby. I look around the room trying not to look over my shoulder as I feel the claws sink in. I take the hint that it's always our turn first.
Right away my eyes dart to the mirror. Then I look away and at a microwave.
"I spy something with my little eye that toasts..." I say trying to outsmart this thing. I hear another growl.
Y laughs at me.
I gasp and suddenly I choke and feel pain I dart right around and see 3 cuts that could have only come from a razor on my back. The ghost was punishing me for wasting his time.
"Okay..." I gag on a tear.
The other 2 so hesistant and sad.
"I see the mirror." I force out flat as paper.
"W-H-A-T D-O Y-O-U S-E-E" As if the board wasn't enough I hear a chilling voice say that over my shoulder.
"I don't know. I haven't looked directly in it." I say looking away again.
I could feel the air sink. I felt dread all across the room. It felt like things got darker and they did! One by one the candles and all the lights of any kind went out all we could see are ourselves and the board itself.
"What's in the mirror?" Y asked followed by the world's longest pause.
"Did that make it mad too?" He asked and like clockwork we heard a loud crash! The house shook like a breaking ship causing us to fall. The whole thing kept shaking.
R came back.
"What do we do?" She said.
I turned over as we experienced an eartquake.
"Check the board! The board!" I shouted.
Things seem to fall from the ceiling we all yelled and screamed and flailed around trying to escape.
The ouija spelled "G-E-T O-U-T" and "R-U-N" so we did but I took the board with me.
We fled from the house but it looked fine from the outside. We ran out deep into the large dark forest in the back. We ran until we realized we didn't know where R was but we were sure she came with! But we turned again and the whole house broke and exploded to bits. We stopped and ran down some plain old farm land and we threw ourselves on the ground trying not to get hurt from the explosion on impact.
"No she's dead we have to come back and save her!" I said freaking out as everyone cried and screamed.
"It's too late!" Y said trying to calm me down.
"No it's not!" As he tried to hug me I kept punching his chest until I shut down and started crying some more. They both got my pain but they could never understand me. I fell to the ground and sobbed.
"Wait!" I hear a voice say.
I turn and see it's that jock who I honestly saw as more of a person now.
We turned and saw the ouija board it said "Leave"
"But I thought we already-" Y said then a hole bursts into the ground on the bare land behind us like a bomb was dropped.
Another explosion happened so we had to run again. We can't stop yelling as we sprint at this point bolting toward the house again which suddenly went back to normal. But we didn't realize how far we ran out.
"Thank god I'm on the track team!" K said.
In the forest we heard the howls of a pack of wolves and other creatures that were thirsty for our flesh and blood and our injuries made us easier targets. I look over my shoulder and I see what looks like a thin black tree but then I see it's a faceless man. I freak out even more as I hear static on my ipod and phone we hurry back into the house in time for the next trial though.
We come back in panting and clutching our bitten wounds. We sit back down.
K whines. "Guys the phone!"
We try the landline. Nothing. Our cellphones. Nothing. You get the point. All the electricity in the house was canned.
"Great! That's just great!" K shouted throwing his arm up and sitting right up to the board. I run up to R who is on the floor gurgling but she's mostly fine. Spotless even. I propped her up.
"Wait! Hold on a sec!" He says and he and y's eyes light up.
I jerk my head around.
I see the thing. It spells out "RUN" again. I raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't we just..." I stuttered oddly.
"No! Look!" K pointed it out.
It was spelling out whole sentences now but at an insane rate. My eyes could hardly keep up!
"It told me..." He pointed to his head. "In my head...that this was my destiny. To put my talents to good use...remember what I said earlier?"
I looked but didn't say anything.
"I was on the track team. I'm the fastest runner. It's calling me...it's saying" Then his voice mixed with the demon's and I saw the silhouette. His eyes hollowed and looked sunken in. "go back into the woods." A demon growl came with it.
"You can't go alone!" I gulped.
"Too bad! I can't!" K seemed surprisingly heroic. I was starting to respect him.
"Have you lost it?" Y nearly tore his hair out.
"We all have. It's talking to him. Just do as it says." I paused.
"Hell no! I'm getting out of here!" Y shouted but I grabbed his arm.
"Hey." I whispered as K ran off.
"Ow. What was that for?"
"He doesn't have to know we followed him." I said as quiet as I could. I knew we'd come any way.
He ran out into the open lot after making it into the deepest depths of the scary woods. We followed at least 10 feet behind and hid behind a tree. Suddenly in the clearing we saw something! It was the abandoned barn from earlier! Even though I thought it disappeared before. We looked at each other and snuck closer. After panting he slams the door with him inside. As this happened a bunch of crows herded us and a rainy windstorm started. We went to the barn for shelter and watched from a crack. There were 2 levels. 1 a floor that was mostly empty haybales and 2 a small upper level with 1 floor with a pentagram drawn in old blood with dead bodies of things like chickens and other things everywhere. In there there was a book of spells propped up.
"No!" Y said.
K turned.
"Shh!" I elbowed and shooshed him.
We almost gave ourselves away especially as bugs and animals of all kinds showed up yet it was the emptiest place in the world. Then we heard K scream and fall through the floor.
We turned and behind us was a man in all black holding a knife that snuck up on us. We ran and screamed. The guy followed us all the way to the house.
We went right up to it and all the doors and windows were locked. Finally the 1 time we want in and it won't let us! We pounded on the door and tried to pick the locks and climb in. Y dived in bursting into the window covering him in shards and blood and I climbed to the top of the house. I still couldn't make out that guy's face. I relaxed laying on the roof for a second just happy to be alive but then I turned around and saw one of the bodies! Then I turned and looked again but it disappeared like it never existed same with that killer that went after us. I laid on my back to relax but then got struck with lightning and it made me go even MORE insane!
I fall off and abuse the door with punches.
"Let me in!" I repeat over and over as it starts to flood and have a tornado outside.
Y opened the door. "Dude, chill."
I fall in.
"What happened to you?" He said looking at my char.
"You wouldn't believe it."
He made a face at this point because yeah.
"I got struck by lightning." I laughed nervously.
"what happened to you guys?" K asked walking in.
We looked down.
"Because you weren't supposed to follow me."
We kept our heads down. We almost lied but didn't.
"That's ok, right?" Y said. "We got the piece."
"What book is that?" I asked dumbly right as I saw it read "The Necronomicon".
"Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?" I joke a little stepping back.
"Whatever! Just do what it says!" K says angry rubbing a numb arm.
"Guys look!" Y points.
The planchette seems to break dance.(Sorry I'm not funny.) The board glows like a swamp green eery glow then red as blood. I came up closer. I was summoned as if it were calling me. I walk up and put my hand on it.
"What's it saying?" Y cocks his head.
"B-A-R-N" I swallow in disbelief. My eyes jolt at K who covers his ears and goes into a corner in the fetal position. How could I not have seen this thing coming? All of us nearly died again and I guess the spirit was lazy. It didn't kill us there before but it already had the set up so I guess it wanted us to go right back.
"K..." I say in concern tapping his shoulder.
"You have to tell us what you saw."
"Saw? Saw what? I saw nothing!" He said trying to hide the tears.
"You saw something if it made you like this."
"I heard you fall. We both did." Y added and I turned around at him.
"See? How can I trust you guys with this?" He barely brought his face out of his hands.I sighed. He gulped. I gasped.
"Alright." We leaned in over.
"The thing is beaten to bits so if you have to walk in you gotta be careful and...and..."
"And what?" I asked.
"But what?" He asked.
"I asked you first." I said to him like deja vu almost.
"There's dead goats, chickens, blood, pigs, garbage, used condums and other trash, and..." I leaned in.
"A dead baby..." His tears were uncontrollable. "Hundreds of them!"
We jolted and jumped back and gasped. In our heads we imagined the cries and the sounds and we cried too.
"Dead people." He said flat.
We heard an evil roar of laughter behind us. It was the sickliest chuckle you could ever hear. It was proud of what it did.
I gulped. "Then what?"
"After I saw the corpses my heart stopped as maggots and cockroaches climbed my Nikes I turned and saw the book and took it and ran and my first step was nearly my last ever! There's no way I can go back!"
He had to though. We had to. And he knew this. We just had to come back as changed men. We ALL changed that night.
I sighed in somber and held up a fist determined.
"If we have to fight this fight let's fight as men!" I knew they could only agree when I said that and they stood right up.
"Right!"
"Excellent~" A creepy voice says.
I flinch and twitch. It sounded like it came from Y and then K then an evil face in the dark popped up it had red eyes and fangs. It was a ghost face and the energy seemed to be coming from the board. Then it seemed to come from everywhere!
That's when I knew we had to press on. The scare tactics started to have a pattern of happening. We would die if we lose or even if we win. We had no choice but to accept a challenge in hopes of getting all our friends and family back.
I shoved the ouija board under my arm. K held the Necronomicon and Y got a flashlight. I still kept my secret knife. We went through the heaviest and wettest rain of our lives. It was like a fountain shooting everywhere. We drudged through even as our bodies and feet sank in the mud. We heard laughing in the trees and those howls and the screaming dying people whose spirits came alive in the night. We almost drowned until we rushed in the crappy barn. We rush in and run up the stairs then they melt like the floor as we pull on and keep going it starts to harden like cement.
"Hold on!" K shouts slamming the book as hard as possible onto it freeing us.
"Phew!" We sigh.
Then the stairs jerk and change shape. They become covered in spikes and needles stabbing and penetrating our feet. I jerk and try to pull free. I raised and pull up my numb broken leg stomp as hard as possible and leap and use my hands on the walls to hover my feet off the stairs and Y picks it up even as he struggles with that broken arm. I grunt and squeel like a pig and cry at first but suck it up and hold it in like a man. Then it catches on and turns the stairs completely flat and we slide. K is at the very top and holds out his hand. I grab it.
"Hang on!" He cries.
Y slips and yelps.
"Y hang on!" I shout back with a tear in my eye.
He bites his lip. "I can't!"
"Grab my leg!"
"I don't want to have to hurt you."
"Trust me..." I wince as he clutches my bleeding destroyed leg screaming soon after.
Then the stairs disappear like they never existed. I gasp and we jump.
We all get yanked up. We pant and sigh.
"Are you okay?" K concerned.
I wince and cry and force a nod. Y just looked shocked and gasped likely with all of the blood on his hands. He dryheaved and almost threw up some Halloween candy.
"What do we do now?" Y pants heavily.
"You have the book." I looked at K.
"And you have the board." He looked raising his eyebrows at me.
"Touche." I look down and shrug.
Right away we run to the podium and put the book where it once was. I get out the devil's board.
"See what it says." Y points as he quickly composes himself.
I lay the board on the pentagram on the floor. I suddenly got a really bad feeling. It eminated in my chest in my heart but also my head. I felt a lump in my throat. I soaked in the surroundings. I saw headless chickens, goats with their throats slit, bodily fluids of all kinds, trash, naked corpses of disemboweled women and children, burnt out candes, and ashes...and yes the brutalized infant pinned up to the wall. I think it fell though. I gulped a big amount and puked a good 7 minutes with salt tears in my eyes. Y took it worse though. He started clawing out his hair, face, and his own throat. He almost took a ritual knife and cut his wrists and his head spun around. He was partly possessed for a moment. I knew R had to be doing the same but he rejected it out and fell to the floor. I think he was stronger somehow in a way. Guys are stronger than girls. That's a fact.
I struggled him to his feet and gave him a water bottle. I slapped his cheeks and he came back.
"Let's not waste anymore time." I said in haste.
I look down.
"What does it want now?" Says Y clutching his head and K has a headache too.
"Tell us what you want." I said.
"R-I-T-U-A-L"
"Oh god no..." We thought out loud.
I turned around. They knew we had to.
"Guys don't do this. Not while we know the world is at stake now..."
"Let's go." K cracked his neck.
"Let's." I look determined.
"Which ritual?" I asked a bit loud.
"B-L-O-O-D"
"Which?" I asked a bit antsy.
It kept repeating itself then a tornado whirlwind bursted from the Satanic book and opened up to a page. The guys stepped back and looked at me. I took iniative and went to the thing. I read it out loud "Step 1: Blood Sacrifice..."
"What's that mean?" K said spooked.
"Does it mean k-kill?" Y asked looking around paranoid.
I paused the board went to "No"
"Will it hurt?" Y asked.
"Yes"
"Oh lord no." K shook his head taking some steps back clutching his head.
"Be careful be careful!" I said worried extending a hand out.
He ran and another hole broke in the floor. Y and I quickly grabbed him though and pulled him up.
"See? We have to do this." I said. There really was no other option.
I took a breath.
I looked in the book "To do this one must take blood his own or someone else living."
I gulped and we all looked around.
"Who?" K asked.
"What?" I replied.
"WHO?" He repeated madly getting psychotic.
"YOU!" He points to me then Y.
"What?" Y screams stepping back. "Oh hell no no no!"
"Guys calm down!" I usher.
"No YOU calm down!" Screams K in fury.
He pulls out a pocket knife. I clutch the one I have on hand hiding it.
"Whoa!" Y raises his arms walking backward almost falling off the edge.
"You guys are killing yourselves stop! That's just what it wants!" I erupt with red face.
K drops it and walks back too.
"You beanheads look!" I point at it.
Y comes and reads it over my shoulder. "For every person they must leak a pint by cutting their own wrists." We stop and look up.
"I'm not doing this! You're all ********! The demon, this retarded barn, and all of you!" K says and nearly storms off.
"Wait." I said holding out a hand.
"You and your emo friend can just cut your wrists and suck each other's dicks some more!" He flipped us off.
Y stays behind and I step forward.
He spits.
"I almost respected you." I gave him a mad look.
He would have been surprised he didn't stomp out so mad. He stopped.
"More than respected. I actually liked you." I shook my head. We were screwed.
He went outside and chugged the bottle of whiskey that was going to be in the punch that he had in his jacket.
The demon wisps behind and around him.
"Huh? Who's there? Hello?" He looks around.
A smoky ghost drapes his shoulder before he could scream it taunts him.
"p***y."
"What?"
"Weakling. You're scared silly. Let me win and let the other boy win too. Will you stay the night or stay the night?"
"Rgh. Fine!" He growled stomping in drunk as ever.
"Alright ********!" He storms him and shoves us out of the way.
"Let's do a ritual!" Y and I looked at each other surprised and smile.
"You stubborn old mule..." Y smirked. He pats his back but gets shoved off.
"Now the knife..." I shuffled around. "where is the knife? I try not to touch anything spare for the moldy hay and beer cans.
"Here it is!" Y said clutching it and handing it to me as if to say "You first".
I gulped but felt the peer pressure on. I held up the knife. It was the rustiest piece of crap in the world. There wasn't just Satanic ritual blood from tip to handle. There were ones people used to p***k little holes to shoot up. I winced and hoped it wasn't diseased. It was pointy but the blade dull. I slowly started slicing myself.
"Ow...ow..." I moaned. Think trickles of red rum leaked out. I spilled it onto the star.
Y almost took it for his turn but seeing this as a game of chicken K swatted it out of his hand.
"My turn!" He shouted cutting hard and deep into himself. It was more than enough. It was fast too.
"That's enough!" I stopped and ripped it out of his hands.
Then I hand it to Y who used it on his good arm.
"What's next?" Y asks.
"Step 2: Give something important."
We look around and hear a demonic laugh boom and shake the barn like crazy. It put salt in our wounds. "Step 3: Light candles." I look up from the book.
Then we look all around us. There was nothing to light our candles with. I hear the laugh again and then thunder and all of them light up but it seems darker only emitting red light.
"Wow!" We gasped in awe yet again at this creature's strange alien lights.
"Step 4: Make a fire." I glace off at Kevin.
He uses a lighter on the hay.
"Dude hey!" I stomp on it so it wouldn't get too big.
"It's like YOU could be the one to kill Us!" I snapped.
He gulped and sat down.
"Step 5: Make sure there is no light but the ones you have made."
We jerked an old blanket on the hole in the wall.
"Why do we need to do that?" K asked.
"Shh!" I snapped again.
"No questions!" Y blurted.
I glanced at him stroking the knife if my pocket.
I looked back at the rules.
"Step 6: ..." I said getting an evil demonic voice and empty socket eyes with small red pupils crying blood for a split second flash and my eyes are full white then I got back to normal.
They shivered together and almost hugged.
I gulped terrified too. A tear runs down my face. I want to do this task the least of all."Step 6: Do something awful..."
They go dead silent for a moment.
"Wait, what? That's it?" K asks.
"If you don't believe me it says so here." I pointed to the red cursive Victorian print.
"What's something awful?" Y raised an eyebrow. I was just as confused.
"Let's ask the board." I said flat out.
"No!" screams K.
"No?"
"Yes no!" He explodes in fury.
"What about the guests and...the girls?" Y shouts shoving and tackling him.
They start fighting.
"HEY!" I shout and they stop.
I look down at the board. It said the worst thing ever. What K was thinking of since the "blood" debacle.
"R-E-D-R-U-M" I gasped and hesitated. I had shocked eyes and stepped back. I wanted to hide it. The word pretty much erupted the room and said "There will be blood". I heard a series of thumps and a gunshot. We all ducked down and freaked out. We all started getting sick and puking up blood and this weird black stuff.
"Maybe we did the ritual wrong." I tried to hope.
I see it. A sliver of light was indeed in the room. In it I saw the knife of the killer from before in the moonlight. But sadly no matter what I knew this would happen.
I gasped and in a split second K swiped the book and looked in it. He gasped and dropped it. He took a step back.
"No!" I cried.
"There will be..." He started.
"No no!" I pleaded as he stood over Y's weakened body. He had a barrel in his hands.
Y fell back. "No!"
"There will be..." He panted in power by the demons below reaching the surface world.
He smash the barrel on Y.
I couldn't bear to watch. But I did. Y was bloodied and beaten and battered but not gone yet.
"It's tricking us again stop it!" I cried like a little girl.
I wanted to fight back but I was a skinny weakling but another part of me didn't want to use the knife outright. Anything I could have done would have been too late though.
I panicked and looked around. All I could think of was kicking the 2 knives away. But before I knew it it was too late. He threw Youkai right out the window.
"There will be blood!"
"No!" I screamed and gasped. K laughed.
"You're horrible!" I screamed shoving him.
I looked out there and could only see a body. I didn't want to look any further. I felt disgusted and betrayed. K looked proud at his work too mad and drunken to care.
I glanced at the board. "K-I-L-L"
"No." I said silently.
"H-I-M" A small laugh came out of me.
"Could I?" I laughed to myself. I could in honor of my friends couldn't I? He did ruin my life after all. I looked at the book."Wait a second..."
All the things we did were magically crossed out except "something awful" and the board was still saying to kill. I almost made a thrilled gasp. I looked from the corner of my eye and saw movement. Y really did make it! I wouldn't let K know.
I looked at the book and thought "And if I don't..."
"Suffer"
I gasped but covered my mouth. "And if not now..."
"Later or suffer." I twitched. I weighed my options kill my best friend, the worst person ever, me, or my girlfriend. Honestly, as awful as K got again I still saw the humanity in him. I already hate myself so honestly I'd be my first option.
"Either way see board."
"L-E-A-V-E"
"Run!"I choked grabbing the board.
"What?" K asked turning at me.
"RUN!"
He screams and we charge out of there. I try and get the board and he goes after the book which bursts into flames.
"What the ******** happened?" He howled.
"These types of things can only go a certain way!"
We dive bomb out of there and the whole thing catches on fire and blows up.
Apparently that place belonged to the serial killer that ran after us. Whatever or whoever this is isn't just one person. It is millions. With the same intention all in one. To kill us all. We pissed it off.
We run off into the thickets splitting up to confuse the wolves, creatures, the spirit, and that mysterious man. We eventually meet back up as we get closer back to the house.
"Wait y!" I looked back to run but K seized my collar.
We headed back to the house. The board and planchette were badly beaten but viberated.
I checked it.
It said "H-O-M-E"
"What?" I panted.
"G-O B-A-C-K"
I repeated myself wiping the sweat off my brow.
"Go where?" I ended up screaming.
I hear my girlfriend's screams of pain.
I pound on the doors.
"Open up!" I scream.
I hear the most evil laugh think of Heath Ledger as The Joker mixed with a rape whistle.
I could only scream back.
"This isn't it!" I heard R cry.
"Huh?"
"A cursed being can only live in the core and the pits of Hell the under earth!"
Then the house caught fire.
"Where in the hell would that be?" I turned to K then I ran back into the woods.
"Are you crazy?" He screamed.
"We're all mad here." I smiled and punched him in the nose so he could chase me.
We darted off into the clearing where the remains of the building was. Burning bodies galore. But they seemed newer than they should be and Y's body was gone too.
"You disappoint me..." A voice muttered and a chill ran up and down my spine.
I stopped.
"Have you lost your ******** mind, you ******** f*****t?"
"No but you're about to lose yours." We turned at the same time and gasped.
What we saw was a big hole in the ground. It was lit with all the colors of fire and had a staircase.
"Oh my-" I started to say.
He covered my mouth and said "Not god...the devil."
I gulped.
"Let's just rush in and get out."
"I feel like we're not welcome here."
I heard a hiss and million dead voices that sounded like thousands of snakes said "Yes"
I choked.
"If you're not I am!" He storms in head first.
"Wait!" I hold out a hand. But it's no use.
I run in after well...actually more like inched after him.
The staircase and the room seemed small. I grabbed my flashlight.
"No. Look." He said miles ahead of me. It looked like a dungeon or a pit. It had torches on the walls. I grabbed one but kept my other light too. I get a good look at the walls. They're flat and solid like walls but they're actually pulsing red flesh like the room was actually alive. I suddenly felt a bunch of eyes on me.
"Let's turn back." I said. "I have a bad feeling..."
He didn't hear me. At first I thought the stairs were stone. They weren't. They were extremely old and weak and wooden. Designed to make us fall. Every step made a loud creak. I swear it would trigger off some beast any minute. A step broke but I didn't fall over. But it still made my gimp leg pulse. I wince fiercely. I hear a bunch of whispering.
"Do you know where we are?" I asked him.
He said nothing. Now I was really worried.
I put the pieces together.
"We're in Hell." I heard the walls wiggle and laugh as lightning struck again.
"Hey! Our book it's back!" He shouted raising a big tome in his hands.
"No it's a trap!" I say as black tentacles and tendrils grab our arms and legs.
I use my knife to cut myself out as I panic and cry again he peels out with upper arm strength alone. Then they come back.
"Put the damn thing down!"
"No! It's save us!"
"Put it down!" They nearly consume my body.
"No!" Then there was silence. I gulped and heard a snap.
K was okay but the grip broke the arm that took that decoy book.
I huff and puff. "Don't do that again..."
He shrugged clearly only caring about his life alone. I started to hate him again. I shift and glare going down where he was.
I see a figure and run right for him. I was almost faked out by these shadow people but ended up to the right guy eventually.
He darts around. "Dude don't scare me like that!"
"I have the flashlight." I hand it to him.
"That costume is too real..." He shook.
"Let's get a little light on the subject." I point to where I want him to put the lights.
So he did. Then I saw. We were in a mausoleum full those old catacomb bodies! Then the light flickered on and off then light all over then it flash to red walls with bloody handprints and stuff saying things like "Get out", "You did this", etc. The walls were plain bright blood red with handprints and scratchmarks now. It's hot as hell in there.
"Get out!" a body came up with the demons in the walls. As soon as we heard we ran out of there.
We ran back into the house and the door opened this time. Out of paranoia we barricaded it and held our backs to it. Zombies chased us all the way over here. If it wasn't one thing it was another. I pant and look forward. I see a hologram a spirit of R floating.
I place the board back where it was and sit there. Her body was gone or hidden.
"Save me do whatever it says now help me!" She sobs.
"I will." I say hoping she can hear me.
I put my hand on the restless planchette. I look over my shoulder. I could swear I could see her face in that mirror. I look down at the spirit board.
"S-E-A-N-C-E"
"Not now!" I said shaking my head.
"T-H-E-N A-F-T-E-R"
"After what?" I choked up.
"B-L-O-O-D-Y M-A-R-Y"
"Not that!" That was what I had feared the most then I put the pieces together. There was a ghost haunting me and all the mirrors all day. But they never attacked me. I'm not sure why.
R's body materializes laying down in front of me.
"R!" I said rushing over to her body cradling her in my arms. She was laying on a cross and a bloody pentagram. Her big shiny eyes flickered open.
"What...what happen?" She looked like she hit her hand.
"It's ok. Everything is going to be ok." I comforted her.
"But..." She was still confused.
"But we'll need you for this." I said holding her hand.
"We need a girl. A girl to play Bloody Mary."
She gasped. "But it runs off the power of these games!"
"We're going to have to. We can't lose any more people! It promised you'd come back if we play this one game before the seance."
"And if we don't?"
"Murder. Bloody murder."
I helped her get up and walk as we went to the bathroom and lit our candles. I kept sage on standby in case there's another trick. I hold hands with her and look around.
"Wait!" I jerked around. K was nowhere to be seen!
"That's ok. We have enough energy without him." She said a little sad.
"I knew he'd bail on us! I knew it! God damn it!" I cursed.
"It's ok." She reapeated.
In moments as the house became its darkest ever we held hands and did the chant.
"Bloody mary, bloody mary, bloody mary..." We saw nothing yet. I clenched her hand. We did it again.
"Wait!" She yelps. I open my worried eyes and turn around at her.
"My reflection...it did something..." She lowered her eyebrows. Her reflection looked fine to me.
"Did what?" I turned.
"It...I don't know...let's keep going." She sighed.
K came in and folded his arms rolling his eyes.
"Bloody mary, bloody mary, bloody mary." We opened our eyes.
"You can't keep looking away from your reflection. You'll miss something." K said.
We nodded but he didn't agree to continue.
"Bloody mary, bloody mary, bloody mary-" We struggled to keep our eyes open at the flickering candles.
"Wait! I see it!" She said.
We see her reflection. On her face her eyebrows were low but in the mirror they were arched. Almost evil and angry and hateful full of malice. Then it made an evil smile. It only got angrier and angrier looking. The eyes sunk in and went black almost like empty holes with nothing in them. Then bloody tears rained down upon them. Then the reflection walked closer and closer.
All K did was scream and curse. "Holy s**t!"
It came so close that it was almost giant. I started breathing heavily R did too. Her heart nearly stopped. Then the reflection went back as far as it was.
I sighed and wiped the sweat off my brow.
"Not done yet" It spelled in claw marks and blood.
The board shook again. I put it down.
"B-A-B-Y B-L-U-E B-A-B-Y" (If you didn't know this is an extended "part" of Bloody Mary. You say that as you rock an invisible baby in your arms and the lady will either snatch you for taking her child or you see it or just see her.)
"Baby, baby, blue baby" We rocked our arms.
All of the sudden the dead baby from earlier was in the arms of the evil reflection.
"Give me back my baby!" The evil woman roared with eye holes again.
We tried to tell her we didn't take it and that we found it earlier.
"That's not good enough." She said.
"My heir. My heir must give me a baby."
"Heir?" I shrugged.
Then I turned like clockwork to R. That is when I put the pieces together. R was a descendent of Bloody Mary. Somehow.
"I can't! I'm still in highschool!" She cried.
"That's not good enough!" She said getting big and reaching her hand out the mirror again pulling R inside.
"No!" I screamed pounding my fists on the mirror trying to get her out.
"Save me!" She cried out again. Then the evil thing disappeared.
"How? I need answers!" I screamed punching the mirror but it wouldn't break or anything.
"B-L-O-O-D" the board spelled.
"NO!" I yelled the most angry.
"S-E-A-N-C-E"
"K-I-L-L"
"D-I-E"
"No no no!" I protest shaking my head. I sobbed looking up expecting to see nothing. Then I saw the thing with R its messy hair blowing in the wind. "You can only save her before midnight."
I looked at the clock. It was so close! Minutes even! It was 11:45
"K! Meet me at the living room! Stat!"
"Right!" He charged. I ran after him.
I put the board quickly on the table.
"Now!" I say charged but also calm.
Then Y appears right in front of me. I gasp and yell.
"How did you get back to-"
"Don't ask. It was a grind." I saw his arm was even worse. He was bloody and beaten all over. The killer, the wolves, K, and just about everything took a bite and he had very little vital in him.
"I'm only here to do the right thing. Even if it mean working with..." He glares down K. K pisses himself.
Y is covered in dirt and everything else head to toe and looks like he's seen some s**t. We sit at the table placing the board down and push our pride away to hold hands and speak to the spirit(s).
"Hello. Is there a spirit here that wishes to speak with us?" I asked being the group's frontman for so long.
The board picks "Yes"
"Do something to make yourself known."
"Ow!" Y says. He grabs the back of his neck and pulls out a needle.
Something behind us gets knocked over too. The sound makes us jump.
"Who are you?" It doesn't answer.
"What's your name?" And same again.
"How many of you are there?"
We hear laughter bellow around us. We look around alert and scared.
"666" A chill ran down my spine.
"Why are you doing this?" I rephrased. "What do you want?"
"Your soul."
"I'm serious." I hear more laughing. The planchette jerks.
"Stop that!" I say.
"Do you want the girl?" The disembodied voice said. My heart skipped a beat. Same with the guys. We all hoped it would be our girlfriend.
"Y-yes!" K choked out before we could say anything.
A silhouette of a woman's figure started to appear. We all looked hopefully but deep down we all knew who it was.
"R!" I cheered. She looked sad and was crying.
"What are they doing to you?"
"They're hurting me..." She sobbed as she cried blood. Cuts lined her wrists and body.
"Look at me." She said looking down. Her body is covered in scars. "I'm never going to be the same as you once knew me..."
"You know I like you however you are." I said.
She brushed a red curl behind her ear. "Thank you..." She sniffled.
"Where are you? How can we help?"
"You can't...I'm...I'm in hell."
"Hell?" I gasped.
"Y-yes..."
"R! We can get you out I promise! Right guys?" I said turning around at the other 2. They stayed quiet though.
"Baby that's so sweet but I'm in limbo. That's where ghosts stay forever. That's where the dead go to die."
"Can you at least tell us what this is and what it's intending to do to us?"
"I really have no idea." She said sorry.
I gulped greatly.
"It said if we play these games you and everyone else are going to come back." Y said.
"Yeah!" Added K.
"Well, I'm not the only one here..."
"Are the other girls there?" They leaned in.
"I haven't seen them. I think they're trapped in other mirrors." She fidgeted biting her lip.
"You mean my princess is in another castle? Baloney!" Y said.
"Can you at least tell us what they look like and what they are doing?"
"I-I-can-" Her mouth immediately closes. A skeleton's hand sews her mouth shut. She starts to turn into a rotting corpse and falls she gets dragged away and leaves scratches on the ground. The last thing I hear is her scream.
"No!" I shout again. I fall to the floor and cry. Y puts a hand on my shoulder and I slap him away.
Suddenly there's a knock at the door. K goes to get it. He checks the peephole and sees nothing. He opens the door and someone hops in. I freak out for a moment but then I see it's just some Mexican lady and a priest.
"We came as soon as we heard!" They said
I sniffled. "From who?"
"God." They said.
"There was a disturbance in the air and we knew we needed to bless this house. We should have come a lot sooner."
"Really?" I asked with sarcasm.
They set up some equipment like recorders, salt, sage, a bible, and some weird technology like from Ghost Hunters.
"Can you give us background on your evil spirit?" The priest asked.
"We...we don't have any." Y said.
"Then we're going to have to induce a seance."
"We just had 1 but only for a few seconds."
"Then let's start a long safer one. We know who and and how to ask." She said. I trusted her immediately and nodded.
We all held hands.
R's visage came up again. With the help of the woman she got a scissor and cut the stitches out even if it still left Raggedy Anne doll scars. We already had a horrifying doll that tried to murder us.
"Is that you?" She smiled at me.
I smiled back.
"Tell us what your connection with the ghost was?" The woman asked.
"From what I was told I was Bloody Mary reincarnated and therefore her heir."
"And she chose you."
"Why did she choose me?" She asked looking at them.
They didn't want to be rude so they whispered to me. "Ask about the dress."
"Your costume...your dress aren't you dressed as Bloody Mary?"
"This old thing?"
"Where did you get it?" I'm guy so I don't know s**t about clothes.
"I found it in the attic with all my other great great great grandmother's things. I thought it suited me."
"Si. Is very bonita." The woman nodded. "But do you realize it's Bloody Mary's dress and the roho comes from virgin's blood."
"What?"
"Elizabeth Bathory. Your hair is red from years of blood from all your dead ancestors and the victims. You are the spitting image and are wearing her dress. It's an omen of bad luck." The priest said. "But it's not the dress she wants back.
"No?" R said.
"It's her baby." She gasped.
Then I remembered the dead baby in the barn. "I've seen it...in the barn."
"The barn bombed." K said.
"Like the Woman in Black. That's all we can trade of equal value." I said putting the pieces together. "That means..." I hear a clock ring. It's 12:01 A.M.
"s**t!" I jolt up. I'm laying in the dark in my bed.
"Was it a dream all along?" I turn around and right next to me is a corpse. It's R's dead corpse looking messy and bloody like Bloody Mary more than ever. I scream. Then I wake up again. I'm at the table with everyone else again. I gasped for air. How long have I been out? "A minute too late." I clenched my fist in anger.
"I'm sorry. Maybe next Halloween." Then it/R immediately jumps and attacks my face. The last thing I see are those hollow sockets.
