We are still on the driveway when I notice that we are now heading into the forest which is kind of creepy. I asked Rhea where we are going "Yesterday before we met, I saw an abandoned town in the middle of the forest. They said that there are rumors in that village which is cursed but it was just rumored, so you should not believe them. Maybe they just saying that so no one could enter in the said village."
"That's strange. Why they would tell the tourist about that?" I asked.
"Maybe because they want all tourists not entered in their village. There are rumors that there are not many tourists are staying in their village because of being haunted. But hey, we don't know the truth. Maybe because they were scaring most of the people that is why there are no tourist is entering their village." Evan said.
"Are they afraid to let tourist enter their village? There must be the reason why they doing that." I said.
"Maybe let just asked anyone near to that village knows the reason why there's no tourist are staying long in the said haunted village," Rhea said. We just agree and let Rhea drove to where we can ask about the history of the said village. We didn't find anyone near the said village so we don't know if we were safe if we get closed.
Night came and we saw a strange gate it opened by itself letting us get entered. All of us look at each other before we enter inside, we are nowhere inside the said village. It was so quiet, there are no traces of people outside in the village. The breeze is too cold, it was like they're warning us.
Once our car enters the village, the gate automatically closed by itself. As if they won't let us escape easily. I got so nervous while we're still in the car all the houses look so creepy it gives shivers in my spine. Are we welcome here or not? I looked at the clock it's still 10 in the evening, there's much time before the sunrise. I hope living here will make us safe. We stop in the nearest hotel inside this haunted village I presume. Should we enter the haunted hotel? Based on its appearance it was so.. old, the hotel looks like it's already damaged, the ceilings and the gates we're not that much operated.
Rhea went to the stool bar and pressed the bell beside the cashiers. The bell rang strangely. Instead of the heard "ting" the sounds is like creepy yelling. I felt tenser by hearing of this bell. Rhea still pressing the bell but no one dares to entertain us it seems that there's no one inside the hotel. So we just get 3 keys that were already hanging on the wall and we went to our rooms. I'm not comfortable being alone inside the room with a creepy sound bell, a haunted hallway, a haunted hotel, and most of it a haunted village. All of here inside this village looks haunted and I don't know if we will be safe tonight.
I went inside the bathroom inside my room it's quite empty there's no towel or even single equipment here. The lights inside the bathroom are dim. I opened the faucet and the water drips so dirty. The water looks like drainage I sighed and look at the mirror above the sink. Until I notice something in my back i-it was a GHOST!! I was about to scream when I heard Rhea and Evan screams I turn around only to see the woman in the mirror. My eyes widened in shocked my mouth hanging open and I can't utter a word.
The lady suddenly cried in front of me there were tears around her face and the tears become drops of blood. I was scared so I ran away in my room even Rhea and Evan are running outside their rooms. I asked them "W-what did you saw?"
"I saw a man inside my room! But not that all he was creepy!! He had red eyes, sharp teeth and most of all his body had fur!" Rhea said.
"Compare to you! I saw inside my room a bloody woman, but not just bloody she touched my body as if she was a zombie ready to bite me. But I notice that her hands were too cold or something that I don't know what it is!" Evan shouted in fear.
"How about you Philip? Did you see something?" Rhea asked then Evan turned his gaze to me.
"Umm... I saw a ghost, a lady ghost. She was crying in front of me then there's blood flowing in her eyes" I said.
"I knew it! This is haunted! We should get out of here now!" Evan said then we rushed out of the hotel but before we get outside we heard something unusual. Something strange roaring. Rhea suddenly hugs me in fear while Evan gets close to us it was like we were surrounded by that kind of creature like we were trapped inside the hotel.
"We need to get to the rooftop, quick!" I said then we ran as fast as we can. While running we heard some footsteps aside from us that are running so I know we are now chasing them. When we got near the rooftop, the door is locked!
"Oh no! How can we get to the rooftop? Does anyone can do lock picking?" Evan asked.
"Let me!" Rhea said then she used her hairpin to used it for lock picking. After several seconds we finally opened the door and we closed it. We also put something heavy so no one can get closed to us.
We search the rooftop and we saw another hotel closed to where we are, but to our surprise, the lights are turned on like someone is living in there. We grabbed this opportunity to get an idea we find a plank that is capable of us to get to another rooftop so we can go inside to that room that has a light. We put the plank in the corner of the rooftop then we walk in slow so we wouldn't fall. After we crossed we finally removed the plank connected to another hotel. We now heading downstairs to where we found the open light if it's true that there's someone is here alive we must help her or him too to get us out of here in the said haunted village.
We stopped at the front door which is the only door that has a light inside. We looked at each other again one more time before I knocked on the door three times. I was nervous when we heard the clicking sound which is someone who opened the door. But before she or he went outside in a whisper voice and asking if who we are.
"W-Who's there?" Someone asked based on what we heard it's he and I think he's nervous based on how he spoke.
"Don't worry we were people like you we just want to get somewhere safe. Please let us in" Rhea said. Finally, the man went outside and look at us first. The man looks like he hasn't gotten enough sleep, with pale skin and very obvious tiring eyes. He opened the door and he let us in inside his room. When we got inside he quickly locked the doors up and downs.
We roamed inside his room notice that he's not alone he's with someone. A girl around I think it's 10 a boy with has the same age just like a girl and a woman maybe in her 20's of age.
The man sat beside the window looking outside. I cleared my throat first before I asked. "Umm. Can we ask why this is haunted? I mean there's no one aside from us are living inside the said village"
"So haven't know the history of this village?" The woman asked. We nod as a response then the man put his gun down and tell us the history of this village.
"There's some say that this village is haunted because of the witch. They said that this witch got mad at all those who are living here. The villagers don't like the witch and they killed the witch but before she dies she made a curse which led this village into darkness." While the man is telling the history of this village I can't help but imagine what he is saying. I don't want to hear it not because I don't want to hear the history it's because I'm afraid that my ability can make it real.
"They said that this witch makes all living here a monster, no one should enter in this village. And in 50 days if you are still here and you haven't gotten out oft he said village you will become one of them. We saw it in our own eyes that all citizens were in 50 days haven't got out of the said village turn into monsters. And when it happens they chased us that is why we are still here inside the room haven't got out of the village. We can only roam inside the village but the gate is closed and no one ever escaped. The monsters vanish when the sunrise that is the time where we can eat food, and when the darkness rise we should hide and not make a sound so they cannot find us" He added.
So it means we're nowhere to escape in this situation. But there must be ways to get us out of here.
"Do you have any idea to get us to escape?" I asked. The man thinks until he replied.
"There is one way for us to escape but it's too risky. We can only escape when the darkness rises that's the time where the gates are opened." So that is the only way for us to get out in this village.
"All of you should sleep, for now, I'll guard this room" He added all of us sleep but me still thinking of ways for us to get out, by doing that made me sleep.
