Chereads / THERON OF EVIL / Chapter 20 - SILENT NIGHT, HORROR NIGHT

Chapter 20 - SILENT NIGHT, HORROR NIGHT

The basketball games went fine between the competing schools with the Captain of New World High basketball team, Jason, being hailed by all for putting New World High on the top.

Just as she was asked to do, Aires served the top guests with all they asked for and had a hell of a tiring afternoon doing it. At one pm, the sprinters took their turn in the marathon and Alpha Academy came out as winners of both the male's and female's sessions. The town folks had lots of fun witnessing the activities, some would run to the field and carry their wards up on their shoulders to show how proud they are of them.

One time when during the cheerleading display at the basketball games, Perry tripped and fell, she faked up a funny smile and pretended it was all part of the act, but the few who knew, went on to mock her. Among the crowd laughing at her, the one person whose facial expression enraged her the most was Aires', even though hers was just a smile at her showmanship, Perry took it as mockery, something she wasn't going to forgive easily.

After the games when she and three others from the Enlightener's Club met Aires, Jason, Elena and Vanessa on her way to change her way to the classroom, she halted and shook her head, giving a look of surprise to Vanessa "Wow, I see you have nine lives Aires" she said, "you're a survivor, is your Mom okay?" A frown sieged Aires' countenance, her thoughts quickly dangling around the event that took place earlier, she took a step forward but Jason pulled her back and whispered to her that it wasn't worth it; he had been told of everything that went down earlier that day. "Oh... What is our servant girl going to do huh? Wipe my shoes clean?" Vanessa commented, giving her friends something to laugh about, but their happy moment would not end for Aires had something to say "Hey, Cheerleader!" She called, "What?" Perry responded holding an ear to her direction, "if you're good at pronouncing words, how do you pronounce B-I-T-C-H" Aires rapped, aiming to get her to insult herself, " bitch?" She inquired, confused as to why that was related to the conversation at hand, "Thanks for reminding me that's who you are" everyone laughed at the stunt Aires pulled up except Perry, "How was your lil black out during the dance huh?" Aires teased "Ohh you think you're funny? You think it's funny huh? Spoiler alert, I recovered from that black out, but I will let there be light... Ohh there will be fireworks alright, mark my words, you and every pathetic creature in this town will regret mocking us, I'm dieing to see the look on your face twerp. Tick... tock... You're out of time" Perry's threat sent shivers rushing through each person's veins, Perry and her friends walked away having the last laugh, but the therons of evil were left questioning each other what Perry was trying to say.

Later at night in a bar situated somewhere on the outskirts of Rocksville, filled with the usual patrons, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed their drinks. The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful until a strange figure appeared in the doorway. She had an ethereal beauty that seemed to draw everyone's attention despite her dark clothing and unearthly aura of power. As she stepped into the room, all conversation stopped abruptly as if time itself had frozen in place. Slowly, she began to walk through the crowd of people who were now standing still like statues, unable to move or speak under her gaze. Her eyes glowed red with an otherworldly energy that sent chills down everyone's spine; it felt like something evil lurked beneath her skin. Suddenly, a black mist started emanating from her body which quickly spread throughout the entire bar engulfing each person present within its grasp. They could feel themselves being taken over by some kind of demonic force as their minds became clouded by darkness and despair; soon enough every single one of them had been possessed by this mysterious entity - even those outside on the street! Each person became another's enemy, even the best of friends burst their bear bottles and fought each other with them not caring if the other would get injured. Soon the whole bar was caught on fire, as to how the fire started, nobody knew, but this fire would not be quenched for everyone was busy fighting a fellow.

As quickly as it came, the girl disappeared leaving behind only chaos in her wake: screams echoed throughout town while fires burned brightly against night sky – all thanks to this sinister creature who brought nothing but destruction wherever she went.

On the other side of town where it was peaceful and quiet, Aires had barely fallen asleep from a long adventurous day when to have a dream. The dream was foggy, leaving only the sensation of dread lingering in her veins as she waded through the murky water. The air seemed to be tainted with a dark energy - like something sinister had taken up residence here and it didn't want them around.

Suddenly, she saw movement from within the veil of mist, a figure, slowly emerging in front of her. As it stepped closer into focus, it's face looked familiar, yet somehow still shrouded in darkness. "There you are…" the stranger said ominously before adding with emphasis: " stay away from us… far away... Vengeance can corrupt even your soul, you saw what you did to your own friend?" In the blink of an eye the creature was standing behind Aires, whispering in her ears "Cross our path again, and you will regret ever being born" it whispered its final threat, then there was an ominous laughter that vibrated throughout every inch of this abstract place , drowning out any attempt at understanding what could have triggered such malice and fear in this creature-like form against someone who clearly knew it or her very well like Aires.

A few broken words were forming on Aires' lips when suddenly she awoke - sitting straight uprighto in bed but barely able to distinguish reality from whatever terror filled those momentship between sleep cycles . Her heart beat rapidly pulsing throughout her entire body until finally breathing started calming down again. That is when she realized no one else could understand how truly terrifying nightmares with a possessed Perry can be.
