The Tomb, The Portal To Hell

A little blonde girl walks on the trail, her each little step is heavy as if she is struggling to walk. Her eyes are blankly staring into space, her clothes are torn. The earth is dry and does not look very fertile. Surrounding her are dying plants, the village had a poor harvest after harvest.

She keeps on walking slowly until she reaches a Pine apple shaped tomb. There she starts running towards it, colliding with a invisible wall at the entrance of the tomb, hitting herself hard. Blood trickles down her forehead. This girl tries again and again. Until her whole face is covered in blood. After a little while the girl touches the tomb and starts crying, exhaustion takes over and she falls but just before the darkness takes over the girl, she utters two words
"Mom....Dad"
Then passes away

While inside the tomb, the villagers are hooting and shouting happily. We found a new homeland where they would live forever. The white fort of which I had heard stories about since I was small, was truly magnificent. That witch girl was really lying saying stuff like death and destruction awaited them inside.

I, togather with my friends walked towards the castle, each of them carrying their luggage. But as we moved nearer, the villagers stopped. There was a forbidding feeling that was released from the fort told me not to go nearer, but then I thought we can't go back until we full fill our purpose here, so let's just go.

I ran forward, shaking off the feeling that was stopping me. The other villagers started following me and with much effort pushed open the gate of the large fort. Woman started squealing in delight, men start hugging each other.

Inside this great fort was a wide square garden. Filled with the most beautifull flowers and trees.

Running all over the place there were the happy villagers. I was very excited as well and shouted at the top of my lungs "Goodbye harvest less village, hello beautiful castle".
I ran upstairs to the first floor and opened the first door that I came across. Inside the room was gigantic. It might be made into atleast 7 rooms if we removed those small tomb like structures. I tied a white ribbon on the doorknob and entered the room and gave long whistle

"This is so cool" I said smiling but my joy seemed short lived as I hear a blood curdling scream.

I turn around and run as fast as I can toward the direction of the noise. I look out of the balcony and saw what only could have been a nightmare, a gigantic puddle of blood. All of my villagers were dead, my mother, father, sister, friends impaled or beheaded. Eight or nine black figures standing around them. A sob escaped my lips. They must have heard me because they looked up.
I ran back into the room and closed the door behind me, crying, I heard footsteps, my death was coming, I was going to die, I wailed silently, someone help me. I slid down and hugged my knees.
Help me please, I sobbed quietly.

Just then I heard a twinkle, I looked up and saw all the 12 tiny tomb like structures, that were aligned against the wall, shining, all but one. It pulled me towards it, I got up and walked up to it.

Tiny small light balls were leisure flying around it, as soon as my hand got near the small tombs, they stopped, then all of a sudden they multiplied and stuck to my hands, covering all the whole of my body.
I let of a shriek and fell on my back but the light ball continued to progress, all over my body. But just they reached my chin they stopped.
I sighed in relief. I was feeling very faint, I relaxed and lay down on the floor, trying to steady my breath.

A few seconds later the light took me and I died.
