Master of the Candle

Chapter 6

Jewel walked through the house. She couldn't find any of the other squad members. "Am I the only one alive?" She thought to herself. As she walked past the bathroom she heard the voice of beth complaining about how hungry and annoyed she was.

Jewel tried to twist the door open. It was locked. "Let me in," She yelled. Theo came to the door, "quick," he hurried. Jewel ran in and locked the door, beth was sitting on the ground in her pikachu onesie. "Can we just talk about what we are going to do, either we are crazy and seeing things, or everyone else is, I can't do this anymore." Theo complained. "I don't know what we are going to do but here's what we are not going to do. We are not going to sit on our butts waiting to starve to death, we are going to find food and then we are going to find weapons and then we are going to get out of here." Beth asserted. "I love how you prioritise food over weapons," Jewel replied, "but yeah let's do it".

They all got up and just as they were exiting heard a tapping on the window. Beth turned around to go see. "Um beth," jewel whispered, "that wasn't coming from the window, it was coming from the mirror..." The three went straight to the mirror, Abi was banging on it with a desperate look on her face. Her body was completely transparent. "ABIGAIL TALK TO US!" Jewel yelled. "He.. He can only find a host who is already dead.. Find Jordan.. Don't let him escape, don't let him find another host body especially not caleb.." Abis voice faded out. Abigails messaged was confusing. They weren't sure who him was but they knew that it meant that Abi was already dead once her body had been used, which could only mean that there was more then one person behind this.

The three rushed out the bathroom door. "I think we should split up," Theo said, "me and beth and you can find sam or the others." They all agreed on this. Jewel went upstairs, she was scared of what lay ahead. As she continued running she could feel her breaths getting slower and her steps getting heavier, she felt as if she was about to collapse. She heard a faint voice coming from the room down the hall, it was the voice of sam, "help me, someone please."

Jewel ran immediately without thinking, as she grabbed the door handle she felt herself being lifted into the air, her head smashed through the roof of the house and penetrated the ceiling, she was lifted higher and higher and could see everything beneath her and then as if someone had let go she plummeted straight back towards the ground...
