Manifestation

2: Issues

I screamed and jumped away from the board.

"What's wrong?" Jane asked.

I collapsed into sobs on Ryan's chest.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I-It's Jim's last name." I sobbed.

I could feel him tense up.

"Jim?" Jane asked.

Ryan told Jane who Jim was.

"You said it yourself, it's probably fake anyway. Let's go get some rest."

He walked me upstairs and we laid down on the silky sheets together.

He stroked my face tenderly. "It's all going to be ok." He whispered gently.

I held his hand and kissed him. I think he was more nervous than I was about the Ouija prophecy.

We pulled away slowly.

"Good night." He rolled over so his back was to me.

I laid there for a while. I couldn't fall asleep. Who could with the thought of Jim circling throughout your head.

I rolled on my side so I was facing away from Ryan and I dozed off.

"You took him from me!" Kiera yelled.

"It's not my fault." I put my hands up in defense.

"Yes it is!" She flung a knife at my face. It missed by inches.

"Keira! Calm down!"

"I will kill you." She picked up another knife.

That's when I heard shouting from deeper into the forest.

I ran away from her and towards the shouting. She followed me.

I put my hands over my mouth when I saw them.

Rachel, Whitney, Jeff, the baby, Debbi, my mom, and Ryan were all kneeling on the ground, their hands tied behind their backs. Jim stood with a gun at Rachel's head.

"Jim!" I yelled.

He whipped around. "You killed me, now I kill everyone you love."

He pulled the trigger and Rachel slumped to the ground.

"No!" I yelled I rushed over to her limp body.

I heard another loud boom and I saw Whitney laying on the ground, blood pooling out of her forehead.

"Stop!" I cried.

Jeff was dead.

Jim bent down and put the gun up to the baby's small forehead.

"Please! Stop!" I sobbed.

He didn't hesitate to pull the trigger again.

I fell to my knees and sobbed.

Another bang. Debbi thumped to the ground.

"Mommy dearest." He smirked then pulled the trigger again.

I looked up. His gun was up to Ryan's head now.

"No!" I sprinted over and tried to stop him but I felt a sharp pain pierce through my stomach. Blood sputtered out of my mouth as I fell to the ground.

Keira stood over me with a bloody knife in her hand.

A single tear dripped down my cheek as I heard another gunshot.
