Chereads / The Ouija Board; To Him Who Claims It / Chapter 4 - The Strangeness Increases

Chapter 4 - The Strangeness Increases

"it's mine, it's mine" Alice continued saying with her eyes closed.

As soon as she had said this, the ouija board flew back into the hole and the hole closed up. Then she was on her bed in her room again, she slowly opened her eyes and it was her room, she was too frightened to even think, she crawled to a corner of the bed and cuddled herself up still panting.

Her computer started beeping, it has never done that before, Alice stood up slowly and carefully approached the computer , on the screen was a search result of her earlier search about ouija boards with Ei Qui Hoc markings, she scrolled down and it was written "The one who claims the board by saying it's theirs will be tormented by the demon in the board, it usually asks them questions and sometimes it kills it's victims who lie"

There was sounds of laughter in the room and a voice came "it's really yours" and then it was gone.

Alice screamed and she could hear footsteps coming up, it was her parents coming up the stairs.

Alice was in school the next day, she told her parents about some of the incidents that happened last night but they didn't believe her, they told her that she might be sick or it might just be how her body is responding to the grief of her sister death. She decided never to tell them about anything ever again.

She couldn't focus on the teacher as usual, Esther wasn't showing any signs of reconciling with her and this bothered her the more. She excused herself and went to the restroom, she washed her hands for minutes just thinking and then she washed her face, she looked at her face in the mirror, she looked sick from the many things she had been through the past weeks. She washed her face again and just as she was cleaning her face, she saw a boy looking at her through the mirror, his face was expressionless and his eyes were steadily fixed on Alice. Alice stood still in fear, her whole body froze, she couldn't turn to look behind her, then the boy walked out the door to the left. Alice turned immediately, he walked out and looked to the left but down the long hallway, there was no one, everyone was obviously in their classes. Alice hurriedly went to her class and sat out the rest of school hours, everything now seemed to make her scared.

Alice was going back home from school, she wasn't just herself, it felt like something was taking over her. She heard a voice, "What would you do for fun right now?". She stopped and listened carefully for the voice again. She didn't hear it again, she reminded the search results, "asks questions and might kill if you lie". Her fear grew, she hoped very deeply that she'd not hear the voice again. She quickly walked back home and as she approached her house, she saw the boy who had been looking at her in the mirror at school, she saw him look at her and then walked into her house.

She stopped in her tracks and fear engulfed. Who was that? and he was now in her house?

Alice walked around for sometime outside wondering what to do, She walked up to a neighbor's house and knocked, the door opened and someone came out, she recognized Alice and smiled at her "hey, Alice, what's up?"

I think I saw someone entering our house?"

"Mmm really?" The woman said, her forehead was crinkled. "come here George" she called her husband.

George started coming out while the woman started asking Alice something. Suddenly Alice saw the boy who had been looking at her through the mirror at school and who have also entered her house, he too had the paw-like prints on his face and he was walking behind George.

"There, Mr George, someone's behind you" Alice said almost screaming

George turned casually and there was no one, he turned again smiling, "What?, there's no one, was that's joke?" Just then there was the boy again standing before George, he struck his hand into George's throat and his hand went right through his throat and he pulled out his hand forcefully and he was gone, George held his throat and his hand was immediately filled with his own blood, he tried to very hard to breathe as blood gushed out of his throat and mouth, his eyes was filled with fear as he kept on gasping for breath. Alice and his wife screamed in terror as they watched George fell down.

Alice watched through the window in the sitting room as the police car left, they had earlier came to her house and questioned her about the strange death of Mr George right there in his house. Her parents just left to go to their room. Alice just wanted to be left alone, she was a very courageous girl and even though she had gone through a lot in the last weeks, she still held on strong. She couldn't stop thinking about the gruesome death of George right before her eyes. Could it be that the same boy had killed Mary?

Was it the demon in the ouija board doing all these?. She fell asleep and woke up scared, she saw the boy in the boots looking at her from the staircase, he walked up the stairs once he saw that Alice had seen him.
