The Box

The beginning

It was a foggy afternoon around 3:32 p.m. and Riley was walking home rather then taking the bus. The air was damp and haunting.  Riley was texting her mom to tell her where she was as she was walking her normal path through the woods.  She looked up to notice a tiny old wooden shed overgrown with vines and weeds. 

 "I have never seen this shed here before. . ." She said full of curiosity.  She cocked her head to the left and slowly walked toward the shady abandoned shed. She walked up to the old wood door and slightly pushed it open sticking her head through to quickly cover her mouth and nose and cringe in disgust.  " OMG What is tha- " she broke off her sentence and looked wide eyed at the shelves upon shelves of jars filled with white vinegar and cut off body parts of humans and animals. Some of the contents in the jars was animal eyes, broken off bloody toes of adolescence, and strands of hair. She walked further into the room to look around more and investigate. Still covering her mouth, she looked at one shelf picking up a certain rusty lidded clear glass jar and turns it looking inside of it.  " Is that an animal's heart?!?" she would say stop in shock. "What sicko would even think about doing something this sinister to people...?"

Carefully setting the jar back on the dusty shelf, she continued to ascend deeper into the shed.  She notices a breaking sound and shifts her head downwards and picks up one foot and looks at the bottom.  " Oh- just glass. . . . cuz that's not creepy at all . . ." she faintly told herself quietly and walked on pursuing of the glass on one of the shelves sides.  Suddenly,  the little dull light bulb above where she was standing started to flicker on and off randomly.  She assumed it was just old and broke and continued to walk on to the back of the shed.  She looks closely at the wall and notices something is out of place... part of the wall is a different shade of dark blue. She touches the darker azure colored cloth and sees its covering something. "OOoOoOoh Secrets~" she said excitedly to herself and smiled a bit hoping for a GOOD surprise.  But instead when she pushes back some cloth she sees a dark yellow candle lighten room With a pentagram made of blood on the middle on the little rooms floor with a little brown box in the center of the blood marked star. The box has black and red wax sealing the top and cracks of the opening on the box.  All around the sides and bottom of the box are carvings of some type of warning in an ancient Latin language. "I wanna know what's in here . . . But what if I get curved or something dumb like that ." She would say sarcastically picking up the box and slightly shaking it as she turned it to look at all the angles. She sets it back down on the floor right next to the pentagram.   She looks away from the box and continues to scan the surroundings around the little room.  She notices the candles are still lit and the red and black wax has been dripping for a while.  She blinks and looks at the little table in front of the demonic ritual circle.  The table has a old note looking piece of paper on it and steps over the box and circle of blood and stands in front of the table.  She picks up the old aged piece of paper that reads: 

" Take the box

  It takes your soul" 

She blinked twice wide eyed and kept staring at the box curious and full of suspicion.  "Should I take it. . .?"
