Chapter 79: Marked

I panned my camera around the room a bit. It didn't take long after my brief conversation with Billy for the chapel to start feeling very creepy. It was so quiet, and the slightest sound echoed throughout the room, causing it to sound a lot louder than it actually was.

After filming around the room for a few minutes, I set my camera down on one of the wooden chairs placed near the wall. I then walked over to stand in front of the static-x camera.

"The feeling in here...is kind of scary right now. It's very quiet, almost too quiet," I said, glancing around the room. I then took a lighter out of my pocket, which I had gotten from nerve centre when we were regrouping earlier.

"We have some white candles set up in a circle in here, so I'm going to start lighting them and see what happens," I explained, then walked over to the nearest candle.

I kneeled down on the floor and flicked open the lighter, and then flicked the switch to cause a spark, which then resulted in a flame. I carefully lit the first candle and stayed kneeling as I was, looking around the chapel for any signs of paranormal activity.

All quiet so far... I thought.

Meanwhile...

Aaron's Point of View

I reached the Artifact room, and kept my camera aimed in front of me as I opened the door. I tried not to worry about the pain and cramping that was still coming and going through out my left arm.

Probably just a spirit messing with me...I thought.

I slowly took a few steps into the Artifact room, letting the door shut behind me.

"Hello?" I spoke into the darkness.

Silence.

"Hello, my name is Aaron," I said again, panning my camera in front of me.

I always felt kind of silly introducing myself like that, but it was a habit that I couldn't break now. I guess I hoped if I was nice to the spirits, they would be nice to me.

As I made my way further into the room, I turned to film some artifacts that were piled against one wall.

"Look at this. This is so incredible. This is stuff they've been finding. Just artifacts, and they're putting it together on these big slabs," I explained.

I then walked over to a hole that was in one wall, and filmed the inside of it.

"From what I heard, they've been pulling 'em, out of this area," I explained, feeling like a tour guide.

Zak probably wouldn't be too pleased with this footage, since I wasn't even trying to contact any spirits.

Too bad bro...you didn't get attacked this time...and it's not my fault you're in a mood because you're fighting with your girl...

I laughed inwardly at my own thoughts. If those two didn't get their shit together and admit they like each other soon, Cheryl and I were going to force them.

I smiled to myself at the thought of Cheryl.

It was awesome to have her on this trip with us. It was great to be able to share all these experiences and places with someone.

Maybe I should be taking the feelings in my arm more seriously...I thought, worrying again it wasn't something paranormal.

That's all I needed, to find an awesome girl like Cheryl only to have something happen to me.
