OUIJA BOARD

Chapter 6: Cruelty

I woke up somber. I couldn't sleep well last night. I felt like somebody was trying to pull me away from the bed. I would feel the cold touch wrapping around my ankles pulling me in my sleep. It was very terrifying indeed. I was in need if something to drink since my throat felt dry. It was 2:35 A.M when I checked the clock from across the room. Wait it's 2:35!? Fuck. I looked around and saw that Joey was awake since he kept on moving around and trying to cover himself the best he could but failed to. I sighed and quickly walked to Joey's bed. I took the cover sand put the covers over us. Joey sleepily opened one eye and said with a low husky voice since his throat must have been dry,"Mina? Is that you?" I nodded. "What are you doing here.." I looked down and flushed from the embarrassment,"I'm scared, honest truth.." Joey nodded and peeked out of the covers. I did the same since I'm very nosy. We both looked around and stopped at the door. We saw the door slowly oping with a *creeeek* sound. I stared in disbelief at what I was seeing. Good thing I moved to Joey's bed since mine is right next to the door. I grasped the sheets tightly in fear as I put the covers over my head. Joey didn't though, he was frozen. The door was wide open by now. Since Philip was also close to the door, I quickly dragged Philip to Joey's bed at the end. "Ngh...Wha?" He said sleepily openings his eyes. "Wha...why'd you drag me to Joey's bed..is something wrong?" I nodded violently and pointed at the now pitch black wide open door. He stared at the door and then sat close to us. "What the fuck, who opened the door? Was it you guys?" We shook our heads. Suddenly we could notice a pair of eyes watching us from the doorway. The eyes looked bloody-red. So dark that they were almost pitch black. I was violently shaking as I felt the blood drain out of me in pure fear. My dark brown eyes had turn white. The hairs in back of my neck raised. All of a sudden the lights started flickering and the room started shaking causing a few objects to tip over. Then I felt a sharp pain go past my cheek. I tried to ignore it but couldn't when I saw dark crimson liquid fall on the white sheets. It was dripping so much that I could feel it go past my neck to my baby blue night gown. I carefully placed a hand on my left cheek. The pain was unbearable. I removed my hand and my hand was drenched in crimson liquid. I stared at my hand in horror. Joey and Philip were looking at me with worry and fear in there eyes. The whole room continued shaking. Jeff woke up but Anna didn't,"what's going on!?" Jeff said trying to hide himself with the bed sheets. As he yelled at us we didn't get to answer since we saw that when Katy woke up and went with us, Anna was then being picked up by something. She was floating in mid-air. I have seen that like in Paranormal Activity. She was held up in the air for a few moments but then she was let go and she fell down onto the floor causing her to wake up. She woke up and had fear in her brown eyes,"Why am I on the floor and why is the room shaking!?" She said trudging towards us. She had a hard time getting to us from all the movement around the room. Then the room stopped shaking and everything stopped falling. Everything was so still. Too still. It got quiet. Until Anna said,"Thank god I thought something bad was go-" she didn't get to finish when she fell onto the floor and she started being dragged by something. "Ahhh!" Anna said grabbing hold onto the bed. She was being pulled by her hair. Philip and I ran to her. We tried pulling her feet but we couldn't. It was too strong. We must have been hurting her. I spotted some scissors by the nightstand. I ran to it and took the scissors. I told Philip to hold her as steady as possible. I took her hair and cut it in half. She then fell back with a *thump* and she ran up to the bed where he rest were sitting at. She was crying very badly. I stared at the piece if hair I had to cut. Everything stopped once again. The lights came back to life. Everything was quiet except for Anna's sobs. My cheek was still bleeding badly. I wonder if this bleeding will stop soon. This place doesn't feel right at all. It could have taken Anna and hurt her. It could have hurt me way more badly than three scratch marks that wouldn't stop bleeding. I felt like breaking into tears too but at the same time I couldn't from how somber I felt. I felt sober too. "I need something to drink.." I said looking at my friends. "I don't want to go to the kitchen, it's far.." Joey said. "Also you will get way more hurt, your already bleeding way too much on your cheek and your starting to get more and more pale from the loss of blood Mina," Katy said worriedly. She was right, but I needed something to drink so badly. "Well I don't care, I'm very terrified of ghosts and demons way more than you..but i still look and go for it. And Joey knows that I had nightmares, felt them, they hurt me in my dreams, and it made me go crazy and cry. But I still go because I'm a spoiled 12 year old girl that won't listen and just continues living with her fears." Everyone stared in disbelief at what I had just said. "Oh...we didn't know.." Anna said innocently. I felt strong for once. I regret saying that though, and wish that I could take back what I had just said. "I'm sorry...I kind if snapped and shit.." Philip looked at them and then at me. "You really want a drink?" He said half heartedly. I nodded vigorously. "Ok I will go with you..I won't let you go alone." He said standing up from the floor and walking towards the door. I followed nonchalantly. When we got to the kitchen, it looked creepy enough. With the darkness wrapping itself onto the kitchen, it really showed off how scary looking it could look at midnight. Philip showed me to the fridge and I opened it and grabbed a water bottle. I closed the fridge and Philip told me to follow him back to the room. As we were going into the hallway, we were stopped when I was hit on my face. My nose started bleeding and I felt like I got a bruise under my eye we're three markings of earlier where at. I winced in pain and dropped the water bottle to Philips feet. I could feel something breathing on my neck. It wasn't Philip. I turned around and I could see a dark shadow by the hallway leading to the Parlor. I was so much in pain and anger. I felt like I was going to burst. And indeed I did. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU FUCKING WANT YOU DEMON!? FUCK JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" That did it. Before leaving, it hurt me once again on my collarbones leaving its scratch marks so identical to the ones from my face. I felt relieved when it left. I grabbed my water bottle. "Are you ok?" Philip said. I nodded and before walking I looked back for a few. Then I continued at the room. When I got to the room I closed the door behind me and locked it just in case. I threw myself in my bed and opened my water bottle so I could drink some water. When I drank I put the tap on and out the water bottle on the nightstand. "You look like you and just gotten into a fight," Katy said shaking her head. "As I said, I don't care I'm a spoiled 12 year old girl that will never listen." I said before drifting off to sleep again. The blood continued coming out of my collarbones and cheek, but I didn't care.
