*Tap tap tap*
The friends looked around, they wanted to find what was making that sound. They had calmed down and stayed quiet to listen, "it was proba-" Cleo said as she was cut off by the sound again.*Tap tap tap*
They got even more scared as they huddled together I'm the centre of the room. They used their eyes to look at every possible area where the sound could come from. "There" Cleo said decisively as she pointed to the window, they saw a shadowy figure that knocked at the window. It was a human figure, Charles made a move to switch on the lights when he did, they saw the figure more clearly....It was Kelly or it seemed to be Kelly, she wore the same outfit she wore the night she was killed which was a white crop hoodie, black shorts and grey ankle socks. Her hair was even the same way it was that night, her long auburn hair hung loose in waves and flowed to her waist. The only difference was that Kelly died and her body hadn't been buried yet and this person that stood in front of them was very much alive with no single cut.
Liam without any hesitation rushed to the window, "Kelly I missed you a lot tho" Liam said as he and Cleo opened the window but she hesitated on coming in. "Kelly what's wrong?" Liam asked as he reached out to her but he was stopped by Charles, "no that's not Kelly, that's a skin walker" Charles said as he pulled Cleo and Liam away from the window. "Dude what are you talking about? That's my Kelly. Let me go, I've missed her a lot" Liam said as he struggled against Charles' strong hold on him.
"Yh, let us go! Josh leave me!" Cleo practically screamed out loud as she sobbed and tried to shake Josh off her. "Won't you guys let me in tho?" Kelly said as she practically shook. "No, I know what you are and you're not getting into my house!" Charles shouted as he tightened his hold on Liam.
"Let me in" Kelly said as her voice became deeper. Charles shook his head one final time and this set Kelly off the edge. Kelly's skin started to peel off her body and left a kind of bloody like clay form behind, slowly the features of the true creature started to reveal itself.
Liam and Cleo had stopped struggling since the moment her voice deepened, it wasn't their Kelly. Their Kelly was really dead, she wasn't coming back either and this demon took her form in order to torment them or kill them.
Cleo's body started to shake, not because she was crying but because she was angry. Why would they dare to use her besties form? Cleo had never been this angry before without thinking, she marched to the closet and brought out a set of daggers, she quickly dipped the blades in a clear liquid and she rushed towards the demon.
With adrenaline in her veins, she hurled the first dagger at the demon, she watched that area turn an ashy color as she hurled another close to it's eyes, she threw them until she had nothing else left to throw. It shrieked and tried to scratch off the wounds until finally it burst into a cloud of ash and the night was silent, silent like nothing ever happened.
"No more messing around, I'm tired of this bullshit. I want these things dead and gone, we can't afford to waste anymore time" Cleo said as she shut her eyes, her friends looked at her because this was the first time they had seen her like this. Charles was about to talk when she continued. "Let's go to bed now. First thing tomorrow morning, we will all look into everything fucking thing we can find" Cleo said as she switched off the lights and jumped on the bed without waiting for the reactions of her friends. This was indeed the last straw for Cleo.
How much more could she endure? She didn't care about taking it slow and steady for sure, so even if her friends were scared she had certainly gotten rid of her fear and replaced it with something else. Revenge.
Can this really be enough to drive her to her goal of destroying the cage the paranormal beings had built over the City with this curse? She didn't know but she had to try and she wouldn't give up.
