The Haunting of Fall Manor(Completed)

Chapter 10

The breeze blew gently as the tall trees swayed to the various directions of the early morning chilling wind. It was dawn.
There was absolute silence within and outside Fall Manor.
    Not even the birds were chirping. The rays of the early morning sun aided in warming the atmosphere and giving it a lukewarm temperature.
   Tes was awaken, she barely slept throughout the entire night.
How could she?
When she was planning the downfall of the people who welcomed her into their home!

  She climbed down from her bed and walked towards the standing mirror.
She stared at her reflection.
Her pupils were still missing from the centre of her eyeballs, her brown hair had streaks of red colour in them. She liked the colour red.
It was the colour of blood!
Her nails were still stark black and her beautiful face still had faintly visible blood lines on it, though this time it multiplied.
She looked at her hand, the blood lines were visible there too.
Both her palms and the back of her hands were covered with thin blood lines like that of veins.
She smiled on seeing this new changes in her body.

  "A beautiful morning isn't it?
It's about time I completed what I started many years ago. I'll make sure I destroy every single spirit in this house and bring down Fall Manor!"

Tes rubbed her hands with a baleful grin plastered on her face.

"They won't see it coming.
All those long years of torture!
Now it's my turn.
They won't see it coming!
None of them will!!
I'll destroy every spirit in this goddamn house!!" Tes said screaming.
A strong wind suddenly started circulating the entire room.
Tes clenched her fists and the mirror shattered into the pieces. Objects were flying around her.
       She let out a sinister laugh and closed her eyes making the objects flying in the room drop.
The wind stopped too.
  
      Tes opened her eyes and her pupils were slowly coming back to the centre of her eyeballs.
The thin blood lines started fading away slowly and her nails gradually came back to its natural yellowish colour.
   Her hair also returned to its normal brown colour.
  She picked up a large piece of the broken mirror and stared at herself.
  She smiled and dropped the mirror heading to the bathroom with the baleful grin on her face.

"Mabel my dear Mabel"
Mabel writhed in pain as she looked up to the familiar female figure slowly descending downstairs,approaching her with a mischievous smirk as she held a blood stained knife.

"You are a monster! You are a witch! I loved you. Is this how you treat the ones you love?"asked Mabel in tears as she clutched to her abdomen which was bleeding badly. She knew she would be dead in a few minutes if she wasn't given medical attention.

   "Yes I am a witch! I guess I didn't tell you I practice black magic" the figure replied as she let out a laugh whilst still descending downstairs.

  Mabel lay flat on the ground writhing in pains. The injury was sending sharp pains all around her body. She let out a scream once more.
She was panting and loosing blood fast!

"Yes kill me! Atleast I'll be reunited with my siblings and have eternal peace far away from a devil like you"

That sentence felt like a slap on the woman's face as her smile quickly faded and she glared dangerously at Mabel.
She walked to her and raised Mabel's chin up just enough for Mabel to look at her too.

"I curse you Mabel Manor! I curse you. You will be a lingering spirit.
Any soul that dies in this house will never move on after death!
You and your siblings, I curse all of you!
Even in death you will feel pain!
You will never move on after death!
Damnation to this house!
Cursed be the soul that dies here!"

She stared dangerously at Mabel, breath fuming with anger.

"And your blood Mabel, will be used to seal this curse!"she added before raising up the knife and stabbing her once more.

  Mabel screamed in pain as millions of pain cells were being brought to life inside her. She stared at the woman who smirked back at her and let go of her chin
  She started coughing out blood.
She looked around her, all she could see was her blood!
   She screamed once more and her panting increased.
Everything slowly became blur as she gradually closed her eyes succumbing to the darkness.

  Mabel immediately woke up from that nightmare, panting.
   She hated when she dreamt about the day she lost her life. It disturbed her. It always reminded her that she was a lingering spirit.
   She heard a knock on her door and Tes walked in smiling.
   Something just didn't feel right!
"Goodmorning Mabel!" Tes said enthusiastically beaming with smiles.

"Goodmorning Tes" Mabel replied observing Tes.
She was perplexed by Tes' strange behaviour as they had a huge fall out yesterday.
She expected the same cold attitude from Tes.

   "I am sorry Mabel for the way I reacted, please forgive me my dear friend. I over reacted" Tes said apologetically as she stared at Mabel who was still surprised by her suddenly strange friendly disposition.

Mabel nodded her head and smiled back at Tes.

"Thank you so much!" Tes said happily,hugging Mabel.

Mabel suddenly felt a dark force.
She could feel it, she didn't know why but she could feel something was definitely not right!

Tes let go off Mabel and walked towards the door smiling at Mabel before closing the door.

That smile, it didn't feel genuine.

"Something is wrong,I can sense it, I can sense this dark force!"
