Some Horror story III
12th of April 2022
As continued from Some Horror story! and Some Horror story II.
Charlotte and I both screamed loudly from our sleep. We narrated to each other what had happened, and it turned out that we had the same dream. It was terrifying. We expected my parents were going to come rushing towards us, but they didn’t. Perhaps they didn’t hear us or maybe they had had enough and decided not to bulge.
I looked at the bed side clock, it was 3 am. The exact time the events took place each night. We needed to do something fast. We decided we were going to seek for answers on our own the following day. What we were going through wasn’t fair and it needed to stop.
Daybreak came and we took a walk out of the neighbourhood in search of answers. We needed anything, a witch, a wizard or a sorcerer, anyone who could help us out. We asked for directions several times as we took a long walk down the road into an unknown destination. We were directed to a store at the far end of the adjacent drive. It was about a half hour walk from home.
It was a store with a small entrance and a placard above with the words “answers that ye seek…”, written on it. It seemed weird but it was the least of my problem as we had come for something greater. We walked in through the small entrance and met a middle-aged woman sitting standing close to the door and ushering us in as if she had been expecting us. She was about five feet and a few inches tall. She wore a long skirt and had a red scarf on her head. Around her neck was a creepy looking chain which has several small around it and a bigger one at the centre which dropped down to her chest.
“Uhm… Hi. I’m Annie, this is my cousin Charlotte. We uhm...”, I stammered out of fear as I didn’t know where to begin and we were in the creepiest place ever. On the wall of the room were skulls of several animals, large candles in various colours, small round pots with red piece of clothing tied around them and many more. It was enough reason for me to be scared. Charlotte cut in “we’re here for…”, “I know why you’re here”, the woman responded. We were both shocked as we heard those words but dared not talk back out of fear of the unknown.
“You can call me Mag. Please follow me”, she said as she walked through an entrance which led to an even larger room. We thought it was a small store but there was more waiting for us. As we followed her, we looked around and that saw several skulls were hung on the wall. Skulls looking resembling that of a Man, birds, wild beast, and some strange looking skull like that of an alien as seen in movies. It was so unreal. We were scared but there was no going back.
She led us through a narrow hall till we got to a large and fairly lit room. There were several candles in the room which formed a large circle. In the circle was a round table and three chairs around it. I guess she was right when she said she had been expecting us.
“Please sit”, she said as she walked to a cabinet at one end of the room and took a box of matches. Mag lit the candles and joined us at the table. In her hand was a folded rectangular cardboard-like material which she unfolded as she sat. It was a Ouija board. It was rectangular board with the alphabets A to Z written on it and beneath the letters was the word “goodbye” all written in capital letters. The top right corner had the words “yes” and the top left had the words “No”. On the board was a triangular pointer with a transparent circle in top through which the letters on the Ouija board could be seen and read.
Charlotte and I both looked each other in the eye as though we had been thinking the same thing. We had seen a Ouija board several times in horror movies, but it was our first time of seeing it in real life. As soon as Mag sat down, Charlotte broke the silence. “I’ve seen this in movies. Are we going to summon a demon? I’m scared”. “You have no reason to be scared. Do what I say, and you shall receive the answers that ye seek”, Mag responded. “Answers that ye seek? It’s finally making sense”.
