I stood looking at my wrist in shock, Brittany standing there holding the knife in her hands. I start to tear up, Brittany quickly throws the knife to the floor. She hugs me but she immediately smacks me across the face. I could understand why she smacked me so I did not attempt to get angry at her."What the hell are you doing?" Brittany irritatingly says"I don't know, it felt like I lost control of my body, I..." I start choking up, unable to keep my tears back anymore. I burst out in tears sobbing uncontrollably.I push away from Brittany and turn my face, trying to stop myself from crying. Brittany reaches her hand out to me but I push it away and walk upstairs. I look at the time, it's only 9:00 am. All of this happened in 3 hours. It felt like we were in that dream forever. I walk into the mirror and look at myself, shocked by what I see I quickly turn my face. I saw myself with burnt skin, missing one eye, as I bled from the other, skin falling off my face, and missing my l
“Are you sure?" I look at her suspiciously "are you sure you want to go in there?" Brittany looks up at me with a grin that takes up her whole face and nods excitingly. She drags me into the cemetery and we walk among the graves. She starts walking faster ahead of me, cutting in between graves, I have a hard time keeping up with her. "Brit, wait up, you're going too fast!" She starts to pick up speed and is running ahead of me. I start to lose sight of her. She is running faster than normal and I'm finding it hard to keep up with her. I run faster but she is too far ahead of me as I lose her once she goes over a hill. I stop running once I get to the top. "Brittany! Brittany! Where are you?" I look around trying to catch even a glimpse of her. I hear giggling all around me as I start to cautiously walk around. I walk looking behind tombstones where the giggling seems louder. I continue calling out for Brittany but I get no response, the giggling gets louder with every attempt. "
I look around frantically, quickly trying to assess my surroundings. There is nothing but darkness all around with various spots of light coming from the moonlit windows. My body is sent into shivers as the temperature around me drops."What is this place?"I stare down into a dark, empty hallway. My eyes seem like they're playing tricks on me as I see darker shadows moving in the emptiness of the hallway. The hairs on the back of my neck start to stand, as I feel eyes piercing through my body."Is someone there?"I can feel pressure build behind my eyes as they try to adjust to the darkness. I walk around trying to find anything that can tell me where I am. I walk over to a random door, grab the doorknob and start to twist. I push and pull to open the door but it won't budge. I turn around and start to try random doors that are around me. I walk to a center of an open hallway."Hello? Is anyone there?"I start to hear whispers coming from all around me. They get louder as I sta
"Game? What game?"I ask King Bael, he brushes off what I'm saying and walks out the door. The strength in my legs is starting to come back, but they aren't strong enough for me to walk. A dark figure walks over to me and helps me stand and walks me over to King Bael."I know I already told you I would help but I need more than just your allegiance, I need to test you to make sure you are worthy."He waves his hand in front of him as three doors appear in front of him. One door was black with golden trim, the other was oak with scratches on it and the last door was white with blood splattered across it."The goal for you is to walk through the right door.""Just walk through a door, that's it?"He nods his head, "yes, that seems simple enough does it not?"I look down at my legs and over at the dark figure holding me up. I can't help but wonder if this is some kind of trick. "Yeah, yeah it seems simple enough, but what about my legs?""Oh that, don't worry about something fr
I can see a light flicker from behind me as if it's a single lightbulb illuminating the room. I slowly start to turn around when I hear clapping rapidly coming from behind me, I almost jumped out of my shoes. I turn around and see Brittany standing behind me."There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you buddy."Her face was droopy and it was as if someone was poorly mimicking her voice. Her hand flops up as if to give me a wave but quickly plops down.Brittany?"A loud cackling fills the room, a demonic face appears behind Brittany with a grin from ear to ear. It had no eyes or nose. The skin looked as if it was left in an oven for too long. Suddenly, the light that was illuminating the room flickered out and the room became pitch black.I can feel the icy breath of something I. Front of me breathing on my face, I can feel an icy cold grip wrap around my arm and start pulling me. I fight back but whatever it is that has me is stronger. I can feel a burning sensation comin
"I don't want to play a game."I stare at the little girl in front of me, my eyes fixated on her. I have an awful feeling, if I run I will die. I'm too afraid to even move let alone run. My body is tense, and I feel as if I'm being stabbed behind my eyes."Why don't you want to play with me? Is it because I'm ugly?"Baffled by what she said, the only thing I can do is just look at her. I don't have words to even say to that."Play with me! Now!"I start to quiver in place. It's bad enough that if we play and she finds me I die but if I run I also die. My choices are limited and I don't see a way out of this unless I play her game."Fine, I'll play with you, explain the rules.""The rules?" She puts a finger to her mouth as if she thinking about the rules "there aren't any real rules, it's like a simple game of hide and seek silly."She giggles and looks over to me "only thing is, you have to hide from me for 5 minutes," she extends her hands showing 5 fingers, "if you hide for
"Where are you?"I can hear her voice starting to come from down the hall. I look at the robed person waiting for them to answer me. "Why are you helping me?"They stood there, hood covering their face, you can't see anything under their hood. They turn there back to me and walks into a dark corner and stands there. "Where are you? Times almost up!"I look around trying to find somewhere to go. I decided I would climb up into the ceiling again and try to evade her for a little bit more up there. I pull up a chair that was flipped over, I stand in it and climb into the ceiling. I can still see the robed person in the corner. The door burst open, slamming into the wall behind it. You can feel the force from the door shake the room. "Where are you?"She walks into the room and stands there for a few seconds. I sit above trying not to move, the ceiling in this area seemed unsteady. I can still see the person standing in the corner and the girl looking around as if she doesn't see him.
My facial expressions go from shocked to horrified in seconds. What more do I have to play? Why is this happening to me? What could I have possibly done to deserve all of this? A lot ran through my mind, I don't know what to think anymore."I hope you're ready for a little fun, you get to have a chance to travel the infernal realm, how lucky are you."He smirks a sinister smirk. His eyes are empty black sockets but it feels like he's staring into my soul. "What kind of journey?" I hold myself together attempting not to stutter. My body is tense but I try not to let it show. "To pass this game, you must reach the highest juncture here, comes across simple enough does it not?"I look around trying to see where the highest point is. I look behind me and see a mountain in the distance."Would that be the highest point?"He doesn't say a word, he stands there with a smile on his face. He reaches his hand out and grabs my shoulder."Only one way to find out."He turns me and shoves me aw
