Ouija

7

I am in Nick's arms and he helps me downstairs. Where's Mom? I begin to panic. Nick is frantic and runs into the kitchen.

"Alice! It's okay. She just went for a job interview. She said 'Sorry I had to leave without you knowing. Going out for a job interview! Love you and lock the doors. ~Mom' ". Nick reads. I nod slowly and sigh in relief. "I wonder who she's working for." I ask myself.

Thud. We hear a noise upstairs. It sounded like a body falling to the ground. "Nick?" I whispered. The lights flickered and I am full of fear. I am constantly sweating and my nails are digging into Nick's skin. The light lost its power and everything is almost pitch black. "Nick, I'm scared!" My voice cracked. "Oh my God. Call the police!" What a stupid idea. "Nicholas they are not going to believe us!" I explain. "We're on our own." I whimper. I remember looking at  a website of demons that would take form of ghosts. I know that's silly.

The demon would use a person that died as a pawn. To play their part. They would use them before revealing their self. Like a demon. I know a demon. His name is Valak.

We slowly walk up the stairs and I am petrified making me sweat and breath heavily.

I take short and rapid breaths barely so audible but to me it's the loudest thing in this house.

As we walk up the stairs, which seemed like forever, I think that maybe a demon or Valak can possibly be controlling and using my father as a pawn. Smoke appeared in all directions. I inhaled it and started to cough. Black splats of liquid came out of my mouth. "Help me, Nicholas..." I choked as I fell to the ground. Black was the only thing that I saw in my world.

I held my shirt over my mouth as I saw my sister fall to the ground. "Wake up! Please!" I sob. I dragged her by her leg. Smoke was heading towards me. I pulled Alice's leg more confidently heading into her room.

I shut the door, leaving all the smoke outside the room. I know that wasn't smoke, though. I look at Alice and I gently placed her on her bed. I see a black trail of liquid on her cheek.

"Wake up! Wake up," I sob, quietly. Something caught my eye. I cleared up my blurry vision and saw the hole Alice put the Ouija Board in. The hole revealed nothing inside it. I couldn't see the board inside it and I decide to look for it.

It's past 2 minutes and I still can't find the board. I hear a couple of coughs. "Alice?" "Nicholas?" Her voice sounds hoarse. "Oh my God are you okay?" I whisper caressing her hair. I had never been so caring to my sister until now.

Alice

"Nick, where's the Ouija Board?" I asked frantically. "I-it's gone!" He puts his hand over his face. "We need to burn it!" I locked my eyes with his. "We need to.." my voice breaks. "We will. We will." Nick is confident. But I don't think we'll be able to burn that stupid thing.

    We heard a large thud in our mother's room. "C'mon." Nick grabs my wrist. "No!" I pull away. Tears rolling down my cheeks. "I hate this. I'm so scared!" I sob. "Well, fear isn't going to go away itself. Right?" Nick gives me a sad smile. "Let's go," he pulls my wrist. I nod my head slowly. I take short breaths.

Nick tries to turn the door knob to my mother's room, but it wouldn't budge. He tries kicking it. I stand back. "N-Nick, j-just wait," I shiver. I am sweating but I feel a cold breeze run across my neck. The door slowly opens. Play with us... a voice whispers. Alice... the voice says again. "W-what do you want?!" Nick shrieks. I WANT YOU TO PLAY! A demonic voice shrieks. We are pushed in the room and we fall on our chests. "Nick!" I yell. "Hi, Alice," a familiar voice speaks. "Who's there?" I ask. Everything is pitch black.

I saw a little girl. Looks like she's been beaten to the punch. It was my mother in her younger form.

She comes closer and then disappears. "Show yourself!" I whimper. "Here I am," she whispers.

I scream. "Alice!" Nick whimpers. He seems so far away. I spin around in pitch black, searching for light.

I see my father. Face to face. He held a knife to his neck, his eyes filled with black. "Bye Alice, I love you." He smiles and falls to the ground. I shriek. I sob and fall to the floor. This was too much. I can't take this.

Arms are wrapped around me causing me to scream. "Shhh, it's just me," Nick hugs me tightly. The lights dim and it is getting brighter. We turn around to head shifting noises around the room. "Nick, I'm scared!" I yell.
