Short Horror Stories

The Island Trip (the invitation)

Author's note:

1.this story is based on one of the nightmare I had few years ago,

2. there are more than one lead character, in fact every character has the effect, so basically there is no particular main lead,

3.characters are fictional and have no relation to any real human being, as I said it's was my dream (which I am converting it into write up form) and details about the characters will be given in between the story when they get introduced.

Chapter 1

What's better than group of friends traveling, hanging together after very stressful months of hard work of submitting work after work, barely coping up  with the last date of submittion.

Alex thanks the...well he thanks everyone who helped him survive those awful weeks.

At first he did not believe that it's all done , finished and he was free from burden for at least 2 weeks..

But when one of his colleague, Sophia (who also his  best friend) informed about the trip she was thinking for there whole college group, (he missed his squad dearly and sadly was not getting time to meet all)
At that moment he realized that yes it's actually over!
( Alex was very adventures kind of person who liked travelling and visiting new places)

So as he heard about the planning of this trip, he was actually the first person to confirm that he will definitely go with them and made sure that each and every person of his group came too..

Yes, he was that good in convincing people!

Sophia saw the advertisement of that island and first she was sceptical about the offers that they were giving ,

!!!NEW NOTIFICATION FROM TRAVELLINGMADEEASY. COM!!!
.
.
if you are looking for a wonderful and relaxing trip with your loved ones, you should check the "the mourning island"... The very big part of the chain islands!
Promise of yacht tour to all islands and 50% off on tickets to all the festivities...
**Tourists only have to pay for their plane tickets and we will pick you up from airport to the place from where all the adventures begin**

"Hmm, what is this place, seems like a great place to travel and relax but what if it's all fraud?.. I'll have to check about the place first"

So she searched on the internet about it, She saw some beautiful pictures of the chain of islands.
And the festivities look good and attractive too..

But then she read some comments and some very vague rumours about the particular island but nobody neither confirmed them nor mentioned about which of the island the actual rumours were about.

No one knows the reason why these rumors were spread and she didn't find any actual evidence to make her convince that going there will develop into some issues.

So, she ignored it and click on the booking website for the tickets to the for the islands for 5 people.

It's going to be amazing!! Can't wait .. She thought.
.
.
.

So they planed to meet at the coffee shop and discuss about the upcoming trip.

Alex and Sophia worked at the same company, as a project assistant of abc company so they came together,

Dean , who  became member of squad was first introduced by Sophia when they were in college and now was working as an freelance writer.

And as expected ,the late comers Annie and Max came, they were  running their small business in the home town.

Everybody cheered and hooted when they saw each other.
For some minutes they just hug each other individually and then a the whole squad scooted and hugged each other making a circle.

It's more like a ritual , they always do this whenever they all hang out.

For like 40 minutes or so they ordered the food and drinks and discussed the general things.
About jobs and what not.

After eating lunch in cafe,they all sat at the garden where they always used to came when they were in college, they were all feeling nostalgic as they were sitting at their old hang out place .

Then when they all settled and became comfortable, Dean started discussing about the trip.
He said, "so squad, we have decided the place and the time we were going but can anyone tell me, what is this place exactly? ".

Sophia started explaining,"It's and chain of islands and their main island 'the mourning island' and all the main festivities will be happening there, we will get  tour in yacht and our sleeping places will also be situated in the mourning island too", nothing to worry about guys, plan is full proof"

Then Annie and Sophia discussed about the matching dresses, what would be essentials to take and what not.

The boys were just sitting and relaxing, comfortable in their silence and listening to those two ladies  and smiling.
.
.

But what they didn't realize, what was waiting for them at the island.
