Chapter 3 - MIDNIGHT GAMES

Along with Kevin, there were four more people Jack, Andy, Alizy, and Stella.

Andy was the only child of their parents maybe that's why he was mummy daddy boy, burger type the choosy one.

Jack was a bold guy the prominent in the group.

Alizy was boyish-like, the one with a tomboy haircut

As far as Stella was concerned, she was different from all of them, girlish, too much concerned about her outfit and hair.

So, it was all about the character sketch of the people who gathered together to play the midnight games but they were not aware that what will be going to happen to them in the future, they all were youthful and inexperienced.

The first game which they played to play was "Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board". This is perhaps the most used stunt in a magician's playbook, and everyone knows that it's simply deception. In the game, one of your companions lies on the floor while four or five individuals bow around that person. All the people gathered there place only two fingers from each hand under the body of a laid person, and together they say this line "Light as a feather, solid as a board" and afterward endeavor to lift that individual very high. And once they stop saying these lines the person, they are holding become heavier and they place the person back on flour.

Alright, this was the game. They read on the internet.

Jack said aloud, "It is not scary at all, we have to make it scary".

Alizy joined him and said, "yes, as we are here to make fun so the horrible things will be exciting".

Andy replied, "we shouldn't make fun of such midnight activities, let them be like they are", Kevin was just listening to them and said let's start the game.

Who will be going to lay on the floor? All of them raised their hand except Stella.

Kevin said, "Stella would you like to lay down?". She said nothing and started lying on the floor. Kevin was consistently looking at her, she was such a beauty, the one with pink honey-like lips and soft cheeks look like cotton balls and yes, she got a dimple on her left cheek as well which enhances her beauty.

She laid down on the floor and the other four sit around her and placed two fingers under her, suddenly jack shouted, wait let me bring some candles, we will make the scene horrible and it will be fun.

He got up and took some candles, turned them on and placed each candle around Stella, and asked Alizy to turn the lights off. the room was locked and there was only the light of the candle.

They started chanting,

"Light as a feather, solid as a board", "Light as a feather, solid as a board"

Kevin stopped them and told them that two or three nights ago, he played a game, and in that game, he turned the candles off with the help of his own blood drop. Jack got excited and said let's do the same. All of them, used a needle and get a drop of their own blood, and turned the candle off with the help of blood.

Now they again started chanting,

"Light as a feather, solid as a board", "Light as a feather, solid as a board".

Jack added, "Bloody Mary, Blood Mary, Bloody Mary, "Light as a feather, solid as a board".

"Light as a feather, solid as a board", "Light as a feather, solid as a board".

Stella closed her eyes and she felt as if someone is lifting her up. All of them watched her body raising from the group and their fingers were beneath her.

Andy shouted, "Stop it, please stop" they all stopped chanting but thing happened, Andy removed his fingers, and Alizy followed him, it was only Jack and Kevin who were holding Stella up with the help of their fingers.

Jack looked at Kevin with naughty eyes and started removing his fingers, Kevin shouted, "No, please, No, don't remove your fingers guys, please don't".

They all stopped chanting, Kevin felt that it is not him who s holding the body of Stella rather its something else or she is just in the air without any support. He started removing his fingers slowly.

And everyone was shocked to see that Stella was in the air without any support finger, Andy shouted, "Jack!! it happened just because he chanted bloody Mary, we shouldn't do just crazy things" I am so afraid of what will happen they all were fighting when Alizy pointed at Stella's body which was raising up in the air.

Andy started crying, "Oh My Gosh no no, no".

Kevin asked everyone to shut their mouth and started chanting something in his mouth and they all saw Stella coming down slowly. And finally, she was back on the floor.

Kevin ran towards her and tried to wake her up but she was in an unconscious state. Kevin touched her cheek she was hot like hell.

Jack said, "woo, it was fun I am sleepy now I will leave", he stood up and left the room, and Alizy followed him.

Only Andy and Kevin were there they managed to hold Stella and put her in bed.

Andy said, "sorry Kevin, I wanted to stay but it is too late I had to go".

Kevin said nothing and Andy left the room as well. Stella was lying on the bed and Kevin was just sitting on a chair near that. He was looking at Stella, her face turned pink due to the heavy fever, he got up took a bowl, and fill it with cold water. Then he dipped a piece of cloth in that cold water bowl and placed it on the forehead of Stella. Then on her cheek, on her neck and arms.

When he was moving that cloth on Stella's arm, he saw something was written there,

"אני לא מדמם"

he stood up and googled the meaning of these words, they meant

"I AM NOT BLOODY"

He remembered, Jack's words, when everyone was chanting, he added Bloody Mary maybe it's the result of that. He slept on that chair, at night he heard someone knocking on the door so harshly, he stood up with closed eyes and asked,

"Who is there?"

No one answered, he asked again,

"Mom is that you?"

But still, there was no response, then with irritation, he opened the door, but there was no one outside and looked around still he found no one. He heard some noise it was like someone is scratching the wood or glass maybe.

He went downstairs, and on the last step, a girl was sitting.

He asked politely, "Mom?" no one replied.

Instead of being afraid, he was being curious and who might be this lady. That girl was moving back and forth consistently, and he felt like she is chanting something, he tried to hear and that girl was chanting,

"אני לא מדמם"(I AM NOT BLOODY)

"אני לא מדמם" (I AM NOT BLOODY)

"אני לא מדמם" (I AM NOT BLOODY)

And suddenly she turned, Kevin placed both his hands on his mouth and tried to shout, "Stella!!!! What are you doing here, you were sick, and what the hell are you chanting and why, what brought you here, let's come back to the room".

The girl stood up and started looking at the room upstairs with a smile. Kevin turned around ran towards the room and found Stella sleeping on the bed.

He ran downstairs to find that girl who looked like Stella but there was no one.

He came back to his room locked it and check Stella's temperature by placing his palm on her forehead, it was not burning like before. He tried to walk her up but she didn't walk up. Kevin started looking outside through the window and he was thinking about whatever just happened.
