SHORT SHOTS

Egestas (The curse!)

I know you hated English short stories, but gagawa ako.... NGAYON NA! HAHAHAHHA! Two consecutive updates for today.

So, without further ado, let's get ride into this.

WARNING: Tatry kong gumawa ng horror. Alam niyo na.. Hahahahahha. Basahin niyo, maganda ang ending. Worth the read. (Disclaimer!! Hahahahahha)

The half smile that Samara Dagfinn had been wearing vanished. Her face was as expressionless as the wall behind her. Did she saw something? Trying to think deeply, got my eyebrows met halfway.

She's blind!

"It's starting." She said.

I don't have any idea of what she was talking about. "What's starting, Samara?" I asked in confusion.

I set my jaw as I watch Samara's eyes turned white.

"Egestas!" She said, tonelessly.

********************

It had been a typical Friday morning in Arcanum Academy. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing to make me suspect it was the day the curse had started.

Weird ominous sounds, possessed, kill or be killed, survived.

ARCANUM ACADEMY

Thirteenth day since I've entered this academy. As the day begin to seep away, the atmosphere got weirder and weirder. Since my mom had finished her studies here in this school, she wanted me to do as well.

I met a girl names Samara Dagfinn. I found her weird and scary. They told me she's blind. That's why I couldn't disguise the growing confusion in my head as easy.

"Samara, Why are you here alone? Don't you have any friends?" I was just trying to grab her attention because she was busy staring at her shoes. But then, I get no response.

"They told me you're blind, not deaf!" I reminded her.

"What do you want?" Her voice, floating towards me through the mist, was deep, and not at all unsteady.

"I just wanted to know you more. It seems like you are an antisocial person, why did you decided to go to school then? Have you been a victim of bullying?" I wanted to know.
I locked my eyes on her as she stood up and taking a step away from me.

"No! Not at all. They just don't see me as a human." then she totally vanished on my sight after her sentence. I know she's weird. She even know the path as if she had eyes, she knows where to go and where to stop, not bumping unto something causing for her to get hurt.

No! Not at all! She's totally fine and -- normal.

Her age were just same as mine. During class, she acts so weird, like she doesn't exist in this world or maybe that's how our classmates treat her.

A ghost, perhaps.

Every time I followed her walking my way home, I always see her entering that huge dusty old house. So creepy old hunted house. But I was determined not to let her know that I was following her every time. And that is what I am doing now. But wait, I lost her.

"Where did she go?" I searched my eyes when she disappeared on my sight. Then, someone grabbed me by the arm.

"Why are you always following me?" My heart was beating so fast that I almost jumped a mile in the air. I was so startled. But it turned out it was her. It was Samara.

She stared at me as if she can see me and that stare is trying to rip my easiness. She smiled, creepily. I'm trying to ignore the chills I'm feeling at the moment. Then she's taking a big steps, walking straight.
