Whispered Secrets
4:20pm, but the night creeping upon us. They were walking their normal track. All the same house down this street. Campbell Lane. Red roof, 4 windows with a finishing nude door. They start running. There's a house. But this one was different than the others. This one had a yellow door, 1 window but was like a mansion compared to the others. There were balloons tied to the letter box, red as blood. “That’s not creepy at all.” Nicole says sarcastically. “I know right.” replied Lily. Something was off about this place. They stopped. Lily, Keira and Nicole. They glanced around. Nicole walked up to the crooked stairs, her dark brown hair swaying in the wind. She feels something brush past behind her. She quickly turns around. She felt a shiver. She marched forward, determined to discover things nobody’s eyes would like to see.
She knocks on the door, echos colliding. The rush of fear makes her tremble as she meanders in. She felt atemporal though ebullient. “Hello?” she mumbles. No reply. But the door opens, with no assistance. There were paranormal spirits, they could just tell They were giving the girls heebie jeebies. Nicole gave the Lily and Keira a hand signal to enter with her. Lily stayed back; she wasn’t going to risk her life. Whilst Keira on the other hand, went on in. With the 2 girls wandering in, the run down stairs started creaking. They think nothing of it. They went around the corner. They decided to stay together because if one if one of them is getting killed, both of them are getting killed. They agree to go to the left, that way they most probably won’t get lost. A door slowly starts closing, then it slams. The girls jump in amazement of what just happened. They continue walking, but without knowing what they’re walking into.
It was a jaunt past 1 room, then the next. A family of four they gathered. They stopped at a room. The rest of the house was broken, sacrifice. But the next room was pink, pretty. A little girl’s dream room. The cot starts moving, rocking side to side. It stops. A white faded silhouette of a body rams towards them. It grabs Nicole by her neck raising her off her feet.. Nicole was now white, faded. All the colour had seeped through. It had taken Nicole hostage. Keira yelps for help from Lily, but her words turned thin. Lily was on her phone with her bright red phone case. She was fiddling with it wondering when they would burst out. Keira tried to follow the ‘ghost’ but ended up at the basement. But then a sudden screech awoke Nicole. She looked around, all in sight was Keira. She cried out her name, again and again. Keira tried running toward her but the ‘ghost’ used telekinesis to grab a knife and slit NIcole’s throat.
The darkness crowded around Keira. Her knees turned into jelly. She tried to run but the spirit pulled her back. She yearned to go back in time and change the future. The spirit crumbled her to ash. Watching her plummet to the ground. Lily decided to walk in. She wondered where they were? “Nicole, Keira? Where are you guys? You’re scaring me.” she decided to check the basement first. “Ironic” she whispered to herself… but her mouth never moved. “Who’s here?” she says quietly. No reply. Silence expanding everywhere. Lighting controlled the night merging with the dreadful blue. Lily grabbed a broken piece of wood. Hoping to stab Annabelle with it. The wood had splinters it entered the room, levitating in a circle. Stabbing herself. Taking it out, goes back in again. She fell to the ground. She tries escaping. All else fails. Clawing the crippled wood under her, as Annabelle pulls her in closer and closer. The chiming music calms Annabelle. Nicole, Lily and Keira all dead. Blood surrounding them. Leaving their pasts behind them. The red phone case, matching the red balloons. Dead…
