HE WAS INSANE .

TURMOIL

The girl shoved him aside with inhuman strength , making him land roughly by the bed . Meanwhile she stormed to the drawer and forced it open .

That evil smile returned to her face . More gruesome than before .

She violently ran through the contents , throwing everything out to find what she was looking for . Finally her eyes laid on it , excited as if it was the most precious gemstone to ever exist . She grabbed the pendant, and turned towards us .

An eerie light emitted from every corner of the room .

And every other spirit I had seen earlier came to life .

The man with the dagger in his chest .....
Glancing painfully at the pendant in the evil's hand , fresh blood flowing down his wound all the way down his feet , making a puddle of crimson horror that I had to witness .

The old man's face was twisted in an excruciating agony , looking more ancient than ever before and with a pleading look in his desperate eyes . I could feel he wasn't able to bear the pain anymore , because that was something I regularly experienced in my worthless life .

And the most heartwrenching of them all , the little baby , letting out a piercing cry of torment . It made my heart ache . It's little face was stained with blood . The cut had acquired a new reddish glow , as if reopened by some unseen force and the stream of its mother's tears were was thicker than any of the blood flowing in the room . It reminded me of my own mother . I dreaded the look the on her face a while ago . There was something which hurt me more than my own sufferings . It was hers .

All this pain and confusion around gave rise to a new emotion inside me . All of this , all the distress and dolour , every wrong thing happening with me and the spirits , the avalanche of misfortune that has supposedly caved me in , led back to one single person .

The girl .

My body burned up in hatred . Every ounce of my remaining sanity hated her wretched soul to the core . My loathing towards her turned into rage within moments . Anger seeped all over through my veins and I felt like I could burst at any moment , although I had no idea what i should do to get rid of that repulsive being who invaded the composure of my life .

But her face . That nasty stupid face . Her abhorrent smile grew wider parallel to my anger , which added fuel to fire growing inside me .

Somebody grabbed my arm .

"Please don't hate her , it'll help the pendant to grow stronger."
It was my friend .

Just then I noticed . The pendant flared with a blue luminousity , the rays escaping her palm like the vicious rays of a malevolent sun .

" Trust me , and calm yourself . I beg you ." he pleaded .

I breathed . My anger would lead nowhere . It rather caused harm apparently . I closed my eyes and eased my arms .

I opened them again.

"What do you want ?"
