The Hunted Meows (Slow Update)

THM Chapter 16

Chapter 16.

"Are you sure?" Mom asks for the tenth time holding the front doorknob eyeing me with concern.

"Yes mom, I can stay home alone for a few hours. Now hurry up, dad's waiting in the car." I remark and flash a her a small smile.

"You will call me if something goes wrong right?" Mom continues taking small steps out on the porch.

"Yes mom, I'll call you, plus I'm a big girl now!" I interrupt her before she can convince her self to stay.

"Okay then, take care. We will be back before you know it." Finally mom gets in the car and waves. I wave back and slowly close the front door.

As soon as the front door's lock clicks with a sound indicating its been locked I run across the house towards the back door. I open the back door and beckons towards Kai-who I standing in his back yard leaning on the wall- to come in. Kai nods and jumps over the fence followed by Evan and enter the house. I close the back door behind them without locking it.

"We have a couple of hours before mom and dad are back so you better hurry." I warn them.

It's Saturday night when Kai and Evan decide to 'communicate' with Oreo in my house. I'm lucky that mom and dad got invited to one of dad's friends house today for a BarBQ, and Alex is out on one of his Saturday night parties. I am only praying that we won't be dead by the time they come back.

"Where is he?" Asks Evan looking around the living room, although he didn't mention exactly who, but I know he is talking about Oreo.

"In the kitchen." I reply nodding pointing the direction.

"Iris can you bring him to the basement?" Evan slips his hand in one of his pockets and pulls out a planchette.

"Why should I bring him? I didn't even step near since for weeks now. Plus why basement! You can do what ever you want here. It's creepy down there." I gesture around the room with my hands but back away from them when they show me the look that says 'you did not just say that'.

Kai lets out a sigh "Fine, bring him here." He sits down on the floor crossing his legs Indian style followed by Evan sitting right in front of him and facing him. they place the ouija board they were carrying on the floor between them, as I take small steps towards the kitchen where Oreo is sitting in his basket near the island counter. Instead of carrying the cat outside, I pull out the whole basket with me, not wanting to touch him.

I leave the basket near the kitchen entrance, a good 5 meter distance from where we are sitting and walk back to Kai and Evan and sit down on the cold marble floor beside them.

"What are we going to do?" I ask them with my hands shaking.

"Now we are going to play this game and hope we survive it." replies Evan.

"Does this even work?" I ask looking at the board this time. It's made of wood, has all the alphabets A-Z and numbers 0-9 written over it in addition to YES and NO in the far top corners, GOODBYE at the bottom and a sun and moon were drawn around it too.

"we shall find out." Kai answers this time, "You all know the rules right?"

Me and Evan both nod and place our fingers on the planchette followed by Kai. "Ready?" asks kai and we both nod again. "Lets move the planchette around the board three times before asking anything."

We move the planshette three times around the board in circles and then stop it in the middle of the board.

"We are willing to the cat." says Kai and looks towards oreo before continuing . "I know you are there, would you talk to us."

I hold my breath in as I wait for anything to happen but nothing does.

we move the planchette around the board one more time and look towards oreo waiting for any change but nothing.

"Are you sure that this works?" I ask them both again.

"Come on, you are sitting right there and we are willing to talk. would you talk to us." Evan asks this time.

but again nothing happens.

"I think he is not willing to talk." says Evan.

"what else do you suggest we do? Ask if someone is in the room?" Kai asks Evan.

As Evan open his mouth to say something, the temperature in the room suddenly drops and the planchette moves quickly over the YES.

It is a super short chapter. in fact this is the shortest I've ever written, any way I've edited it. last time it was talking about the pen trick to talk with ghosts now its back to ouija because i had a huge writer's block and couldnt figure out what to write next.

so maybe the people who read this before editing should read it again.

Thankyou.
