Fall into my verse By. T.T Tower

Part 3:

We all froze at the figure before us. Its body cascaded in shadow, only to reveal white glowing eyes, it was like an obscured version of the moons light. The figure before us was tall and wore a black cloak, it smiled and once again a white light beamed at us from within its mouth. The moon’s light shown down on it for a second, revealing a skeleton like face. It was as if all the meat and blood was taken out of it and only its flesh and skeleton remained, making it practically see-through. The moon’s light disappeared behind the clouds, like it was closing its curtains and putting us back into the dark. Our words caught in our throats, unsure of what to say.

That thing before us belowed out a laugh, breaking the silence and In a distorted voice that sounded like multiple people “The rules are simple….” It muttered through its cold transparent lips “…A little game I call find and seek…” its eyes moved from person to person slowly, studying us. “…You find and I seek, the winner get’s a wish.” It paused, letting us hang on its every word.

“W-what does the loser get?” Habbiki managed to croak out.

It laughed a cynical laughter. “Easy, I get your soul forever… Get the object that started the game and you get a wish that’ll set you free.. if you lose.” he chuckled “you all belong to me!”

“N-No!” Kae screeched, rushing at it, ready to hit it with her flashlight “I’m not letting you~” I screamed for her to stop, but our screams were useless, with wide eyes I watched as the horror unfolded before me.

Her words cut short and her body was flung back into a gravestone. Her head spun and her skull~ I turned and threw up. Tears streaming down my cheeks, Kae was like a sister and now she was gone. Our sobs pierced through the dead of night.

You’ve got twenty seconds, you must play the game or you end up like your friend.” It disappeared not giving us a chance to mourn or process what just happened. Its voice echoing throughout the graveyard, counting down from twenty.

“We gotta go!” Habbiki shouted, his voice sounding far away. I felt a hand tugging on me desperately “Get up!” He shouted, helping me to my feet. “We don’t have much time, let’s find the entrance!” We all listened and without missing a beat, we ran towards what we believed was the way we had come.

“The fog is so thick!” I yelled. “I can’t see a thing!”

“I-I think I see something” Jay yelled somewhere beside me… or was he in front of me? I couldn’t tell which was odd, but how could I explain anything, this whole night was crazy. All I wanted to do was see a ghost or two, not fend for my life. At this point I just wanted to go home.

“I-it’s an opening!” Annisha yelled with delight. Soon I saw it too and we all ran at it in full force, my lungs and my legs burned, while my heart was beating so fast I thought it would give. The countdown hit four as we made it pass the light.

The smile of relief slid off my face, terror running through my veins like poison at the scene before us. “One!” the voice said.

Part 4:

My eyes widener in terror, any warmth I had left my body. “H-how is this p-possible?” I stuttered. “We’re right back to where we started.”

“No time.” Jay said. He grabbed my hand and we sprinted towards the gravestones amongst the heavy fog. A bell could be heard in the distance and an echo of a voice followed soon after. “Ready or not, here I come!” It said in its menacingly distorted voice, this time resembling a more childlike one, making it sound even more creepy.

We ran behind a gravestone, trying to figure out what to do next. The sound of the bell growing louder each second. I looked over at everyone, Javier was rocking back and forth, reciting some chant. My heart broke for him, he wasn’t a horror type guy, but he never believed in superstitions either. Which is why he even bothered to come, to prove that his family was wrong by recording evidence, but I guess we got the short end of the stick.

I glanced over at Annisha, she was clinging to Habikki, silently sobbing into his chest.

“Lea.” Jay whispered, “We’ve got to try one more time.” I nodded. Out of all of us, I was surprised that he wasn’t freaking out more than Javier was. Jay was a non-believer, yet he was leading the group with a clear head.

“I can’t take this anymore!” Javier shot up screaming. “1-1 need to leave! I gotta get out of here!”

“Shh!” We yelled.

“Calm down, we will escape!” Jay yelled in a hushed tone, trying to coax him to sit back down and hide.

“No!” He screamed. Jay tugged him down but he kept resisting. Javier was strong, actually one of our most strongest quarterback in school. Javier bolted through the graveyard in a panic and with the bell sounding so close, I feared what was about to transpire. “No!” We screamed, but it was a futile attempt, the thing appeared in front of him, grabbing his neck and opening its mouth at an inhumane length, we stared in horror as Javier was sucked in. It closed its mouth and then disappeared as quickly as it came. Through the quiet night, its distorted voice broke the silence, counting down again. My legs shook and I fell onto my butt. So scared, I was so scared. “I-I don’t want to do this anymore, I’m ready to just give up and let that thing take me. We can’t win.” I said defeated, accepting my fate.

Jay shook me. “Don’t talk like that!” He yelled.

“We are in this together and we will fight this together, don’t give up!” His voice cracked, his own desperation and fear slipping through. “We can make it! Everything will workout, let’s just work this out together.. okay?” | nodded. “You’re not alone.”

.

PART 1:

“This place is where we’re going to play?” Annisha asked, not sounding too happy.

“Yes.” I replied.

“Why?” She said lifting up her arms to try warming herself up. It was pretty warm out, but there was an odd chill hovering through the air. “| mean why are we playing a game in a cemetery? that’s straight dumb, considering the fact that the rules clearly states.” She enunciate. “That we should not be playing in a cemetery.”

“Why….ya scared?” I smirked, singing out the word ‘scared’,toying with her.

“N-no!” She stammered, moving closer towards her boyfriend for warmth.

“Do you believe in ghosts?” | snickered, enjoying her obvious fear as she clung tighter to her boyfriend.

“Alright Lea.” Habikki said to me. “Stop freaking her out.”

“I’m not scared!” She yelled. “Habikki shut up! You’re supposed to be on my side here.” She pushed her boyfriend in a somewhat playful manner.

“Alright.” He laughed “babe, I was just kidding.” He wrapped his arms around her in a protective yet sweet manner.

“You two are making me sick.” Kae chimed in, pushing pass the couple in obvious disdain “Can we hurry this up? We have class in the morning and three o’clock is approaching fast, let’s go!” She quickened her pace, trying to rush us along.

“Alright guys!” I shouted, as we neared the entrance of the cemetery. “lets set up in the center.” I slid the gate open, it’s ominous creak filling the silent air. The wind blew lightly, caressing my face. I looked up towards the off white moon, feeling an odd sensation. Bringing my attention back towards the group, that sensation left as quickly as it had come and all six of us pushed pass the threshold and into the cemetery.

“Jay.” Kae said “can you put new batteries in here? It’s starting to fade.” She tapped the flashlight in frustration. Jay looked at her confused. “What?” Kae asked, confused as to why he was looking at her strangely.

“I-I already did.” He sighed “| must have mixed the old ones in with the new, I’ll fix it later.” He muttered.

“Maybe it’s a ghost.” | laughed, trying to freak out our most logical friend in the group. He never gets scared and I would love to see how he would act. But my plan failed, he just glared at me through his glasses and shook his head.

“That’s not going to work and it never will.”

I shrugged “atleast I tried.” Finally making it to the center of the cemetery, we placed the board down and began to set up. “Now let’s get this game started!” I yelled excitedly “what time is it?” I asked to no one in particular.

“Two fifty-nine.” Jay responded blankly.

“Perfect.” I smiled.

We all gathered around and sat on the spotty half dead grass. When situated, we placed our hands on the glass cup in the center of the board. “Is anyone here?” I asked. “Go to the right for yes and left for no.” I said.

We waited patiently but to no avail, so I asked again. Our hands slowly slid to a letter. “L.” we all said in unison as it landed on the letter, my heart now in my throat with excitement. I knew it wasn’t me pushing and was thinking it may have been someone else, but I let it go to see what they would spell out. “E. A. V. E” it stopped abruptly. “Huh?…” I said a bit disappointed at the cliché. I opened my mouth to confront whoever it was to stop playing games, when the glass underneath our fingertips jerked us forward. Our voices rang out in rushed harmony, spelling out the new message. “N.O.W”

PART 2:

1 laughed “Okay… whose messing around?” I looked up and froze, my laughter dying in the air. All eyes were on me. “W-why are y’all staring at~” I paused, realization kicking in. “You don’t think it was me?” I raised an eyebrow, staring at them as I clutched my chest with my free hand, exaggerating how hurt I felt.

“Oh come on Lea!” Jay rolled his eyes. The light from the flashlight glinted off of his glasses, making him look almost zombie like. The moment I noticed it, I felt the air growing chillier and the hairs on the back of my neck stand. An ominous feeling weighing down on us like a thick heavy fog.

“N-no seriously” I stuttered, all traces of playfulness leaving me, realizing how serious they were. Studying each and everyone of their expressions made me a little nervous and that odd sensation gnawing at the back of my mind was causing me to grow more and more terrified as time passed. Something was off and I couldn’t place a finger on just what it was and that terrified me. My friends were good at lying but not that good. It was rare for me to feel something like this, I mean I enjoy horror, but I felt truly scared. My mind became more on the alert by this threatening presence that clung to my chest like chains.

“Something… isn’t right.” I said, feeling sick to my stomach.

“Oh stop it!” Kae yelled, her voice obviously cracking as she did.

“NO I~” My words caught in my throat, our hands were forced to move again. Wanting to stop the game, I tugged my hand but I couldn’t break free. “I~| can’t let go!” I panicked. Everyone began tugging at their hands like crazy, when they realized they were also stuck, foul language sprung from their lips like a broken faucet. Javier was freaking out so bad he started speaking in spanish.

The glass cup in our hands bounced between the letters G and O like a broken record, jerking us back and forth for what felt like an eternity. Finally it stopped and we all flew back, like an invisible bomb had went off in the center were our hands met. We all got up, visibly shaken by what had just happened. “I mean I wanted to see a ghost, but not a demon.” My voice wavering as I spoke.

“What did you expect?” Habbiki replied angrily “At Three Freaking A.M! what did you expect? It’s the witching-hour.. the demon Hour.”

“Alright. Alright.” I said cutting him off, still in shock. “we should~”

“Should just leave!” Kae exclaimed, stealing the words from right out of my mouth. “Javier is freaking out!” She pointed at him while maintaining eye contact with me “He‘s not even speaking English anymore!”

At any given time I would have laughed, but I couldn’t find it in me to. “Not yet…we need to close the gate~”

My voice was interrupted by a raspy voice that came from no where, yet everywhere at once “No.” It said “Let’s play..a game.”
