The Curse of A Lifetime

Chapter 12

SARAH

The rumor isn't true. I didn't try to kill my family, the entity did. If Soran wants to play this game, I am going to play too. I want him scared, scared of me.

After I said yes the ringing began to worsen and was hurting my ears, so I left the room. Carter tried to follow me, but I pushed him away. I found the bathroom and sat on the bathtub edge until I couldn't feel my legs.

I am now laying on the floor with my legs against the wall. My butt is against the bottom and my feet dangle in the air while the back of my knees touch the cool wall. The ringing is gone, but my body is still hot. Soran came by the bathroom and knocked, but I didn't respond. However, I know he is still out by the door because I can hear him breathing.

He was always a heavy breather, when I was younger I would use his heavy breathing to help me fall asleep. One time I was having a nightmare about the entity killing my family and the Soran was there holding me. The entity had my family pinned against the wall while I was stuck in the middle. It told me to choose which one I wanted to die first- I was only eleven years old when that one happened. Soon I found out it was communicating with my throught my dreams while I was sleeping. I picked my dad first.

Two days later he was in an accident- he almsot died. He had massive brain bleeding and his lung was punctured. He said he had no idea why he crashed or what caused him to. He remembers seeing something black in the street and then he blacked out. There was no video surveillance or anything in the area.

My dad was in the hospital for two months on life support. My mom of course was upset and confused, but I knew exactly what had happened. After my dad was discharged and brought home, my mom was next. She was pushed down the stairs and broke her arm and received a concussion.

I knew Soran was next, so I spent every moment I could with him. That was my mistake. When I was thirteen and he was fifteen, we went to the local county fair the first day it opened.

"Come on Soran, I don't want to miss it." I run over to the ferris wheel and get in line. The lights on the ride lit up and I could see Soran run after me.

"We need to hurry up, dad is waiting for us in the parking lot." Soran says.

"Fine, last ride and then we go home." The ferris wheel is my favorite because you get to see everything. The lights light up the sky and all of the people look like ants.

We get in our seats and we begin to go up. We stop at the top for a moment and continue all the way around a few more times. Soran leans over and takes a picture with his new Ipod he just got for his birthday. We make all different kinds of funny faces before the ride starts again. The ride jiggles a bit, but continues.

Finally at the top, we look all around us, the lights flicker and the people look up to the sky.

"Whats going on down there?" Someone asks.

"I'm not sure," The man below us says.

The ride jiggles again, but this time it was our cart. "Soran," I reach out to him, but he flies backward. He grabs a hold of the pole in the middle.

A huge black mass with yellow beady eyes stare at me.

"This is what you want, this is what you chose." No, No, No "Soran I am so sorry." The entity is going to kill him."Please no, take me instead, not him." I plead. A growl erupts from the side where Soran is and I hear Soran gasps for air. His fingers start to slip, but I grab his hands and pull them as hard as I could. "You can't win."

I'll do anything, please not Soran.

"Help," Soran chokes out.

This is too much, I need help, I need help.
