Ziall - Long Weekend

Part 2

 Now we are in our history class. Now we are seventeen. Ziall is sitting beside me concentrating on the teacher. Perrie and Jade sit in front of me while Zac and Robert sit behind me. They are talking something. Ziall and me were talking and laughing. Zac looked at us. Anger is in his eyes. I don’t know why his eyes are full of anger whenever he sees me with Ziall.

“Okay students. Now for the final year project, I want you all to work in group. You can choose anyone from this class to be your group member. Your group must consist of more than four people. I want you all to do research about anything you want in that place which you choose relating to history. Any questions?” our history teacher asked us.

“Is the research is regarding on a specific topic that we learn?” I asked.

“No. It can be anything that you want. Even though if it is not in our syllabus, I can still accept it only if it makes sense.”

“Can we do research about ghost?” Robert asked

“Yes, you may if there is really is.” She said

Everyone was so excited about it. Our class dismissed. After school end, we discussed about the place which we are going to go in the biology lab. Ziall is not with me because he went home early today. He told me that he is going to the church with his mother for some prayers. I’m alone without him. I feel one part of my body is gone. I miss him already.

“Where do you want to go?” Perrie asked. She is now hugging Jade. Both of them are lesbians but we don’t care about it. When they are with us, they will be normal like other girls. But, they’ll still hug each other which make me really uncomfortable.

“I don’t know.” I said while looking down at my feet. I can’t look at them.

“I know just a suitable place for this. My dad’s friend owns it. The place is located in Thailand. We can have some good time there because the place is located by the river. While doing our school project we can also have fun there. You know like going for a holiday vacation for this weekend. We need to cross river to go there. It is a very long and deep river.” Zac said.

“Sounds interesting. Is there any ghost there?” Robert asked.

“I don’t know. Let’s figure it out.” Zac said.

“Okay. I’ll ask Ziall’s mother’s permission. So that he can come with us too. He can enjoy the weekend with us.” I said.

“What? Ziall? No! He is not coming with us this time.” Jade said.

“But,...”

“Please Annabelle. Only for this time. If he is there you will be busy babysitting him and you won’t be enjoying with us.”

After taking a deep breath I said,”Okay.”

“Okay. Tomorrow is weekend and we’ll go there tomorrow. I’ll pick you guys at your house by ten.” Zac said.

I‘m very sad because Ziall is not coming with me. I’ll go everywhere with him. He’s shy,nerdy and childlike. My friends enjoy making fun of himand I’ll be there always protecting him. He got once told me that I’m his fairy Godmother. He is so funny and he’ll never make fail to make me smile. He’ll always got a joke to tell me and I enjoy beingwith him. He is like my brother. I just can’t go anywhere without him. Now I have to and I hate it. I know I’m going to miss him. I’m not going to call him today because if I call him, I’ll change my mind and I won’t be going with them to Thailand.

We just landed at Thailand International Airport. We took a cab to that place which Zac told us. He got that map and I’m pretty sure that we won’t lost track of that place. The cab took us to the riverside. Now we must wait for the ferry to arrive here. After several minutes the ferry arrived and we got into it. I was looking at the river and Zac was looking at me smiling. I smiled back.

“Why are you going there?” the man who is in charge of the ferry asked us.

“To do some ghostly research for our final year project.” Robert said.

“No one had ever been there and whoever who had been there had never came back.” He said.

“Why?” I asked

“Don’t you know what happened here 15 years ago?”

“No. Can you tell us?” Jade asked

“Okay. Hope you guys don’t get scared. My grandmother told me this. 15 years ago many people lived at the place which you are going now. They lived happily there. As you know, old people believe in everything. They believed there is an evil spirit live there which protects them. There is a cave there and inside the cave there is one small room. In that room, on every Friday 13th night all of them will gather there and do some prayers. When the prayers are going on, some girls will perform one peculiar dance. They’ll bend their body and shake their hands. The people who attend the prayers must hold a lighted candle which is tied with thread. The thread will be tied continuously among all the people who are there holding candle. During those prayers, the priest will put chickens in that small room and close it. Do you know what that mean? Silence. “They are sacrificing lives and give it to the evil spirits so that the evil spirits won’t disturb them and they can leave peacefully there.”

“I know this story! My father got told me before. May I continue the rest story?” Zac asked.

“Yes young boy.” The ferry man said.

“Thank you. According to my dad, one day when the prayer is going on, the priest put the chickens in that room and closed it, one boy who was holding the candle, accidentally slipped and fall down. The candle is on the floor and the thread is not continuously joined. He had broke the circle. The room door opened. Everyone who was in there looked at that room. Suddenly, blood burst out from that room and people who got that blood on their body died. Some of them tried to run but, the evil spirits who live there got out like black smoke and killed everyone. Everyone who was there was killed.” Zac ended his long talk.

“Man, this is interesting. We should really check out this place.” Robert said.

“Better be careful.” The man said

Now we are here. Standing at the evil spirit’s home.

“Come and fetch us tomorrow at 10 am.” Zac said.

“Okay. If you are alive I’ll come.” He said and he leaves us there.

“So funny.” Zac said back.

We followed Zac to the house. The house is so big like a mansion. While Zac is searching for the key in his bag Jade looked at a black cat. She took it and held it up. The cat scratches her hand and ran away. Her bloods drips and fall on the rock which was in front of that mansion. Perrie helped her to clean the blood with the bottle of water and we went in. We went in and searched for our room. Perrie and Jade got the same room. I saw them standing at the balcony hugging themselves and talking something. I went to find my room.
