Regret

Chapter Seven

If you would've told me a week ago, that I'd be hiding in a closet that is in a haunted mansion. Well I would've laughed in your face, but here I am. In a closet, with Blake hiding from our friend who was possessed. I couldn't get what I had saw out of my head, after Michael had busted down the door he caught up to us very quickly, he only stood a few feet from us, he looked more pissed than he did earlier. He had blood running down his face from his nose, where I had kicked him, there was also this black liquid that was oozing out of his coal black eye's. Just the thought of it made a chill course through my body.

"You ok" Blake asked.

"I guess so" I said. "Blake I have to tell you something"

"Yeah" he said.

"Just in case we don't make it out of here, I need you to know something"

"Lilly don't talk like that"

"Blake please" I said interrupting him.

"What is it"

"I need you to know that I love you too". Finally, I thought. I finally told him, this probably wasn't the right time, but then again we probably aren't going to get out of this fucking hell hole, so who's to say when the right time is. I sat there next to him in awkward silence, why was he so quiet, I mean he told me just last night he was in love with me. Has he already changed his mind I thought, but my thought's were cut short by a pair of lip's coming into contact with mine. He's kissing me, I thought, the man I've been in love with for year's is kissing me. Once the initial shock wore off, I melted into the kiss, the kiss was all I had hoped it would be. It was as if the thing I had been missing, was finally here, it was finally mine and I wasn't letting it go. We pulled away from each other, clinging to one another. I was about to say something, but then the closet door opened, I looked up expecting Michael, but instead I saw Maria.

"Why the fuck are you two in a closet" she said in a confused tone.

"Maria" I said, getting up and hugging her. "I thought Michael did something to you" I said letting her go.

"I'm fine, to be honest I'm not really sure what happened, one minute we're looking for the basement then the next minute I'm waking up on the floor" she said. "Wait why would you think Michael did something to me".

"Well" Blake said. "He's..... Umm" he said trying to find the right word's.

"Just tell me" she said in a frustrated tone.

"He's been possessed" Blake said giving her a sympathetic look.

"You're lying" she said "He can't be, he was fine earlier"

"Look what we have here" we heard a deep voice say behind us, we slowly turned to see Michael, he was leaning up against the wall with a sadistic smile on his face

"M-michael" Maria said in a terrified voice.

"Think again sweetheart" he said.

"Guy's" we heard to our right, we looked over to see Peter and Brii. "We found the book's in the attic" Peter said. I looked between Maria and Blake, then looked over to Michael. He had a panicked look on his face, as if there was something in those book's he didn't want us finding out. I looked over to Brii and Peter, they were standing next to the room we had used the Quija board in.

"Run" I said as I took off down the hall with Maria and Blake behind me, Peter and Brii went into the room, then we went in. Brii slammed the door shut and we started to push as much shit as we could find, in front of the door.

"What's the plan" Blake asked.

"This" Brii said as she opened one of the thicker book's.

"And what is this" Blake asked looking at the page, the whole thing was in Latin.

"It's an exorcism" she said.

"Who's going to do it" Maria asked.

"Brii is" Peter said. "She's the only one in our group who knows Latin"

"So what do we have to do" Blake asked.

"All I need from y'all is to open the door, then I have it from there" she said picking the book up. I looked over to see Blake picking up the broken fire poker from earlier.

"Why do you have that" I asked him.

"Let's just call it plan b" he said inspecting it in his hand's.

"Let's just pray it doesn't come to plan b" Peter said following Blake to the door, removing the barricade we had put up.

"On three" Blake said.

"One" Peter said.

"Two" Blake said.

"Three" they said in unison, throwing the door open, and just like clock work Michael came barging in.

"Now" I yelled to Brii as she started to read from the book.

"No, stop" Michael said, letting out a bone chilling growl. Micheal grabbed at his head, gripping fist fulls of his hair as his knee's hit the floor, he let out an agonizing scream as his eye's rolled back and this brown/grey smoke started to escape from his mouth. Then everything went quiet, Michael fell forward collapsing to the floor. I stood there watching as Maria ran over to Michael, Blake and Peter were still standing guard, Brii was closing the book, and me. Well I didn't feel right I felt as if the room was closing in on me, my vision was starting to blur, I felt like I was freezing, my body was numb.

"Lilly" Blake said in a concerned tone. My eye's rolled into the back off my head, as I started to collapse to the floor. The last thing I heard before the darkness consumed me was Blake's voice.
