The red glowing eyes peering at me through the darkness of my room makes me shutter in fear. I’m squeezing my blanket with both hands so tight that I can feel sweat in the middle of my palms soaking the blanket. I’m paralyzed with fear!
What does this thing want with me? I think to myself, while still staring at this thing. This is my third night without sleep and this evil is haunting me! I don’t know why though? why me!
Suddenly I hear a voice calling my name.
“Seth.”
It was a deep scary voice. I ignored it and slid under my blanket.
“Seth.”
I’m not hearing this. I thought to myself.
Yes you are. The voice said inside my head.
I peaked my head out from under the blanket, “What do you want from me!” I screamed into the darkness. Suddenly a black mass appeared at the foot of my bed, and said to me now in a low whisper.
“I want – your soul, Seth.”
The mass then disappeared into the darkness. I was paralyzed with fear yet again. I just sat in the darkness thinking to myself.
Why is this happening to me? what did I do?
I turned on my lamp next to my bed and stayed awake the rest of the night. There was no way I was going to sleep after that. The rest of the night my mind was racing with thoughts over and over.
My third night without a full nights rest was really getting to me. I turned to see my alarm clock it read 4:30 A.M. I didn’t know if it was the demon playing tricks on me, but I could see things moving in the night. I could also hear voices.
At one point in the night, it sounded like someone was breaking into my apartment, so I grabbed a bat and sat there for the rest of the night. I sat still holding the bat until seven o’clock in the morning. I was prying my eyes open, my body wanted to sleep, but I was still scared.
Ugh how can I stay awake? I thought to myself. Coffee, coffee will allow me to stay awake! I’ll stay awake the whole night. Is that safe? – I don’t know, but I gotta stay awake.
I got out of my bed, still holding my plastic bat all the way to the kitchen of my tiny apartment. I slowly got the water and poured it into the coffee pot. I put the coffee in the cup and then poured the water, and stirred it around. I took a sip.
“Ouch!” it immediately burned my upper lip I spilled some of it all over my floor, “I’ll just wait for this to cool down,” I said out loud to myself as I sat my cup on the counter. I felt like eyes were watching me. I could feel that the evil presence was in the room mocking me, taunting me from a far. I stood in the middle of the room just standing there, for no apparent reason I couldn’t move it was like I was stuck. The entire room started spinning around me, and before I knew it I just saw complete blackness.
I woke up to my best friend Daniel, shaking me awake.
“Hey man get up,” he said.
“H-how long was I out?” I asked, suddenly realizing that I was no longer on the floor in my kitchen, but I was moved to my couch.
“I don’t know I just got here man. You look like hell,” Daniel says.
“Thanks.”
“Seriously man, you look like you haven’t slept in awhile is everything, okay?”
“Yeah – why wouldn’t I be?” I asked confused.
“Maybe because we haven’t seen you since last week. You’ve also called off work a couple of days too. I haven’t seen you since the night all of us went out,” Daniel explained.
“Has it really been that long?” I asked.
Daniel gave me a puzzled look.
“Yeah Seth, it’s been awhile. I remember we met up with Holly and Page that night. We all got drunk and they started playing with that Ouija thing?”
“Ouija board?” I said. Why don’t I remember this?
“Yeah I don’t remember a lot of it though we all got pretty wasted that night.”
My heart dropped. My stomach felt like it was gonna go through my throat. This explains everything. I forgot all about that night and since then I’ve had a whirlwind of activity. Now I’m losing sleep and time over this. I have to get help. I have to tell Daniel what’s been going on. Don’t tell Daniel. I heard in my head. I’ll kill him if you do. The voice said.
“Yeah since that night I haven’t felt the same man,” I said to Daniel, as I felt this pain in the middle of my chest. I continued, “Somethings been following me…”
I suddenly felt sick to my stomach, I leaped up to go to the bathroom.
“Are you okay!” Daniel asks as I ran by him to get to the bathroom. I threw up this weird black stuff, and hurried to flush it. Daniel was at the door knocking.
I told you not to tell him!
“Leave me alone,” I thought.
No Seth, you’re mine now tell him to leave, or I’ll do it!
“No!”
Suddenly, I felt this intense burning along with this rage and hatred for Daniel. All I could see was this red tent in my eyes and I didn’t have control over my body. I was struggling between being myself and this evil. The last thing I remember before blacking out, was opening the bathroom door.
I was standing over Daniel, who was covered in blood in my living room.
Oh my god! what have I done! I thought to myself. I’m freaking out, trying to figure out what to do!
S**t! I’m going to have to bury him or take him somewhere. I wish I could remember what happened.
