Chereads / The End Is Terrifying / Chapter 3 - The Curse

Chapter 3 - The Curse

The Chief Warden looked at all the mummified prisoners with empty eyes, his mind already frozen in fear and anxiousness. The deputy warden was beside him with the same look in his eyes. They could not believe that something like this happened in their prison without any of the wardens knowing or even hearing it. The video had even gone viral and it was taken by a prisoner and from the ruckus they were making, it might have been a good time to be deaf but they weren't so why couldn't they hear the screaming, praying and shouts for help?

"You don't see this everyday!" a man said from behind them but both men barely registered their existence. "We need to ask you lot a lot of questions if you would follow me."

"Charge us with everything you got, we have nothing that can help us out," the chief warden said without any resistance. They both out their arms out ready to be cuffed, making the man grown in surprise.

"What makes you think that I am here to arrest you?" he asked them. The chief warden looked at him with the dead fish eyes and showed him the video taken from the original phone.

They saw a man with wings walk calmly towards a cell, look at them for a few seconds, claimed they were guilty then stretched out his hand and red light came from the cell and was absorbed into his hand then he went towards the other cell. In this cell, the inmates were praying to God for forgiveness and swearing to change their ways vehemently but the winged man looked at them then declared the guilty and did the same thing he did before. This went on until he reached a cell before the one filming the phone. The inmate turned the camera to his face and they saw he had been crying all this time.

"Mama always said God is watching and an angel is going to punish me for my sins but I never believed her. I am about to die and from how the others were screaming, it will not be pretty. If any of my fellow prisoners see this video, I implore you to change. This angel has come for us today and he might come for all of you tomorrow. If the government gets this video and shuts it then many people will not be saved so please, share the video all over the world. My dying wish is for my fellow sinners to know that God is watching them. Shit, he started punishing the others, I must go and accept my fate. To my mama, I am sorry I did not listen to you. I wish I can say more but I need save others." With that, he closed the recording. The man was silent for a long time.

"How sure are you that this haven't been doctored?" he asked the two.

"This is the original video and we found it underneath his bed, obviously noone had the time to doctor it for they were already dead. Besides, every electronic failed minutes before this angel came and started turning everyone into mummies." The man replayed the video before taking his phone and went to. *tube and searched for the video. When he saw just how many views it had, he almost had a headache. He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Ma'am, I think one of Heaven's angels went psycho. He just drained all the inmates' soul power for himself. Yes, it is not a demon, I know the difference between demons and angels, Ma'am. This one is an angel for he didn't take the souls for himself but destroyed them. Yes, it might be that he escaped Heaven and came to regain his strength here. No, Ma'am, something made sure we couldn't see his face and his voice is undiscribable. It gave me the feeling of fear and guiltiness. Sure, I will make sure the whole community gets the word," the man finished his call and turned to the Chief and Deputy director warden, an easy going smile on his face.

"Good news, gentlemen, you have all been pardoned and have been given a new lease of life. Just look into my eyes, that's it," the man said and saw them look into his eyes. Suddenly, his eye turned red and the two men were left in a daze. "You will forget what you saw here. If anyone asks what happened, tell them one inmate had released a toxic he made himself and killed all the inmates here. Also...Argh! What's going on?" The man suddenly stopped as his whole body suddenly turned red and all the veins in his body showed. The two men in a daze came to reality and were scared to see the man who was talking to them a second ago looking at the sky, his whole body shaking as his whole body started dishivelling.

"What? What's going on? No, no, please, I don't have a soul, spare me? Please, let me li...Aaaarghhh!" His whole jaw fell as if it was ripped out by a strong hand and what was left was a scary bleeding gash. The two spectators peed their pants when they saw this scene. Bones then started coming out of his body, slowly and definitely painfully, protruding in his back, chest, legs and hands. The man could have been screaming but his jaw had been ripped out and the pain was too much even the most simple voice of showing just how in pain he was was gone. Then, his body exploded into a blood bath, soaking the two men who had definitely crapped themselves.

"What in God's name just happened?" the warden asked out loud. He wanted to use a swearing word in there but his brain was too traumatised by the scenes in the last half day caused by the Angel that it couldn't just use any words to dirty God's name.

The strange incident went around all over the world. The video had been circulating everywhere and the people thought it was fake and some tried to delete it but they died the same way the man before died, bloody and painful. In three days, fifty thousand people had died before a hacker decided to save the rest of the people because governments were trying to keep this matter hush hush. So, he comes for help from other major hacking groups and for the first time, they managed to hack into every devices in the world whether offline or online.

"Citizens of the world, a strange video has been going around the world of an angel that is killing inmates. I am here to tell you that the video is real. Yes, it may look faked but one thousand five hundred inmates all died, leave alone the ones you can see before the camera is shut off. But that is not the scary part. For a while now, a lot of governments have been reporting a lot of deaths in their offices and the cause is because they wanted to delete the video. Their deaths are gruesome and very horrific to watch, so please, do not try to delete the video or you might die the same way as them. I know many of you might not believe me but for the sake of the few, I gave this warning..." The equipments suddenly exploded and the hacking was stopped but the message that had been conveyed. The civilians erupted because of the news and some even started calling the hacker group degenerates. The Catholic church went even to the extent of the Pope coming in front of the world and denouncing this terrifying angel. Other denominations even came and started making fun of the Christian religion saying that everything in their Bible was fake if an Angel is that scary. But, there were morons who decided to do what they had not been told to and one of them was a streamer. He was streaming the whole ordeal and the world saw first hand the way one died.

Bell heard the notification and he was overjoyed knowing his plan worked. He had been an internet junkie for a long time so when he came home, sat on his desk and opened the desktop, the first thing that got recommended was the video of him killing all those inmates. When he saw it, he came up with an idea of how to use it to his advantage.

First, he came to know all Nephilims could do by instincts. Nephilims like him who are born from demons and angels are the top of the food chain because they can use both light and dark powers of both parents and their potential are the highest. Demons are experts in matters regarding dark arts and that includes manipulating the soul and memories, curses and whatnot. Of course, demons have other abilities like controlling elements, animals, diseases and other things. Angels have the natural ability to manipulate most matter and sometimes even reality but that is for angels like Seraphims and Archangels.

For Bell, he got momories of how to use his abilities which included everything except reality manipulation so from the very beginning, he was already quite domineering. So, he saw opportunity when he saw the video and he knew the Force had a hand in this but he was not complaining so he decided to curse the video. Any one who tried to remove it from the web for any reason is going to die horribly. He did not specify how but somehow, the terrible way to die was so graphic! But now, he had a dual lightsaber in his hands and he was liking the colour scheme of it, it was black, blacker than night!

"Love it!" he said as he sang it expertly, enjoying the whirling it made. "Luke, I am your brother. I have come to kill you for killing our father, prepare to die!" He laughed and put the lightsaber away and went to bed.
