Bewitch Me [Book 1 & 2, The Witch's Fate]

Book 1. Chapter Nine - Do you believe?

I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at the musical box that was placed at the edge of my dressing table. It even seems to be playing on it's own as I can clearly hear and feel tinglingly sensations from here. I'm still trying to remember when I dropped it on the table. I don't even remember clicking the red button! Gah!

Since when do musical boxes even shimmer?

Curiously and yet cautiously, I slowly got down from my bed and heeled my head towards the dressing table as I approached it carefully. It's funny how this seems like a horror movie, but this was real. What is this?

I gasped in horror when something ruby-red and bold—yet wet and smutty appeared bit by bit on the walls before me in a sort of language, which I assumed to be Chinese since it came out funny like some creepy stick drawings. The shocking part is that you can almost imagine a hand drawing all these on the walls while the writings kept producing a mirror image of itself on the other walls around me. The white walls were gradually turning black—almost like it was decaying or something.

I-is...

Is that blood or w-what?

Wait-

-it can't be...

It's not smelling like blood from here...

Phew...

Then what is this?

Madness?

Quickly, I grabbed my phone from my side pocket and took a picture of it for Google to eventually scan and translate the hidden messages. I guess I could also preserve it for latter evidence to prove to everyone that I'm not hallucinating.

When it was finally translated, a wave of uneasiness and fear gripped my body at once. I didn't even realise when I let go of my phone at this moment. Something or rather someone was trying to play tricks on me again.

H-how is this...p-possible?

"伊莎贝尔...伊莎贝尔......为什么放开我这么多恐惧？ 您现在什么也没做，只是使您的小朋友处于危险之中。 您无法停止独自发生的事情...因为您只有一种生命."

Translation: "Isabelle...Isabelle...why let go of me with so much fear? You've done nothing now but put your little friend in danger. You can't stop what's happening alone...cause you've got only one life."

I-is this...some kind of...prank?

So many thoughts ran through my head right now that I had forgotten all about the cat besides me once again. I tried to call 911 but my phone resisted my fingers somehow. It was as if some kind of magnetic wave was repulsing my fingers with that of my phone. The more I tried to press the damn screen, the more the phone heeled over to the opposite side.
