The Haunting of Fall Manor(Completed)

Chapter 9

"Where is Tes for goodness sake?!" Mabel muttered outloud as she paced to-and-fro in the living room.
She looked at the huge wall clock, it was 7 o'clock on the dot and Tes wasn't still back.
The woods weren't a good place to be in when it was dark!

  She looked at the closed front doors expecting to hear a knock or Tes pushing it open and entering inside.
  Mabel was extremely worried about Tes.
   "Oh Tes please come back" Mabel said in a whisper as she clasps her hands together.
  She sat down and looked at the clock again.
With a worried face, Mabel made up her mind to go find Tes if she wasn't home by 7:30.

***
The hooting of owls filled the air as the warm breeze blew continuously.
Tes stretched her fingers unconsciously as it made contact with the cold dirt.
  She slowly opened her eyes and yawned lazily observing her surroundings.
"Oh my God, how long have I been sleeping!"
  Tes observed the slowly turning dark woods. The trees looked scarier and taller, only the hooting of owls could be heard. She spotted few bats at the top of a tree whilst majority were exploring the slowly turning dark sky.

   The sound they made coupled with the owls hooting irked Tes.
She quickly stood up and looked at her wrist watch.
It was 7:10!
The sky was quickly turning dark as more night creatures came out of their hiding place filling the air with scary sounds.

    She was still limping as she quickly made her way through the woods brushing off shrubs and tall grasses on her path.
  "I thank God I'm still able to remember the path home!"
  
   She heard the sound of twigs breaking behind her.
It felt like someone was behind her, following her!

  Her heart skipped a beat.
Without giving it a second thought, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her not minding her already swollen toe.
  She was fortunate enough to come out of the woods.
She spotted Fall Manor across the road and heaved a sigh of relief.
Her heart beat gradually normalised as she approached the huge scary house.

  She pushed open the door and met a worried Mabel who immediately stood up on seeing Tes.

"Where have you been?! I was worried sick about you" asked a concerned Mabel.

  "Why is she acting all concerned towards me? If you are really concerned about me tell me what you are hiding Mabel!" Tes thought within herself.

  "I don't want to talk to you Mabel" Tes said shoving Mabel aside as she headed upstairs.

Mabel sighed deeply and went over to lock the front doors.
This was the reply she got after anxiously waiting for Tes' arrival?!
The sudden new cold treatment from Tes was beginning to get under her skin.
   She walked upstairs and headed for Tes' room. The door was opened and she saw Tes lying on the bed facing the ceiling.

"Tes?" Mabel called out her name softly as she entered the room.
Tes looked at her and sat up.
  "What is going on with you? Why are you suddenly mean towards me?"Mabel asked concerned.

"You want to know why, because you are hiding things from me!
Things that are relating to my brother's death.
How heartless can you be Mabel!"

Mabel gasped in shock.
Heartless?!
Did Tes just called her heartless?!She stared at Tes dumbfounded.
She was silent for a moment not knowing how to react to Tes' words.
Then she finally spoke up.

   "I am not heartless Tes! Watch what you say to me!" Mabel replied with anger written all over her face.

"You are heartless that's what you are!
You say you are my friend but you keep on hiding things from me!
Mabel I swear if I ever find out you have a hand in my brother's death you will hate me!" Tes snapped back at her with a dangerous glare plastered on her face.

Mabel couldn't believe how quickly Tes changed.
  And she also wasn't going to take any more of it!

  Mabel shot a dangerous look at Tes. Her iris suddenly turned red and objects started floating in Tes' room.

  "Tes if you do anything to harm me or my siblings, I won't hesitate to kill you!" Mabel said sternly.

"Are you threatening me?"

"I am warning you" Mabel replied. For a few seconds, they both stared dangerously at each other before Mabel turned to leave making the floating objects fall down.

She walked out of Tes' room and slammed the door behind her.

  "So Mabel is actually threatening me wow!"

Suddenly a cold wind circulated in the room once again. It was strong.

  Tes wasn't scared at all, she knew who it was.
It was that strange voice!

"I believe you, who ever you are.
Mabel is truly wicked and she is hiding things from me. She even threatened to kill me. I came here for my brother and I must accomplish my task!" Tes said outloud to no one in particular.

There was a brief silence then she heard the voice of a woman laughing.
  "I'm happy you are beginning to see Mabel for who she is my dear friend. I'll help you but you have to help me. That's the only way for you to leave here alive"

At this point,Tes was ready for anything. She was already fuming with anger for Mabel.

"What!?" Tes asked rather too quickly.

"Help me open that banging door" the voice replied softly.

Tes laughed out loud.
Well that was the same thing her brother asked her too!

"I'll sure" she replied with a mischievous grin.

"Together we will take what we deserve!"

The voice then giggled and suddenly Tes was being lifted from the ground by an unknown force.
She still wasn't scared!
She closed her eyes with a smile on her lips as the wind grew more fierce, blowing her hair rougly and every light object in the room around her.
  
   Immediately Tes felt an unknown force pass through her body,  circulating through her as the fierce wind continued ravaging her room.

She twisted in pain over and over again.
It felt like jolts of electricity was passing through her veins!
She twisted in pain and let out a scream. Her movement seemed convulsive.
Slowly she opened her eyes to reveal her pupils slowly shifting from the centre of her eyeballs to the back making her eyes all white!

  "Yes I can feel it now!! The power is flowing through my veins!!"

The fierce wind slowly started dropping in its power as Tes was being lowered to the ground.

   She had this evil grin plastered on her face and she looked as pale as a spirit. On her face were faintly visible blood lines stretching from her eyes to the back of her neck.
Her eyes were still all white and her nails suddenly turned black.

  She was possessed!!

She walked over to the door and opened it. Her gaze went to the banging door and she smiled mischievously.

"Very soon, very soon, it's not too long. I'll get my revenge!"

She slammed her door and walked towards her windows. She opened them and stared at the night sky. She stretched out her hand and was able to control the movement of a flying owl.
She dragged the owl closer to her whilst the owl hooted in pain trying to fly away from this invisible force pulling it.

She smiled at the owl before squeezing her hands tightly making the owls body pop like a balloon with blood splashing on her and on the window.

  "What a beautiful day tomorrow will be.
Mabel won't know what hit her!!"
