As I walked weakly into the ominous house and opened the front door, what I saw was no different from what I remember.
The same ragged women walls and the same dirty old floor, and the old but comfortable bed, and the scary bunch of bird skulls littering the corners of the hut.
But there was something that I overlooked last time, very big words written with black ink on the wooden wall just above the bed.
It says:- "Don't trust the book"
I flinched as I read it, well I do remember it but never gave it the slightest attention until now, am not sure why, even though it seemed important.
This place is really as eerie as I remember it, I got used to the feeling of not being alone but this place makes you feel like you are accompanied by.. well, many.
There is probably multiple spirits reside here for whatever reason.
I could vaguely sense there presence and the closer sunset comes, the stronger and the more precise this sense becomes.
I can easily feel the presence of multiple spirits crawling around the wooden wall of this old house.
*Sigh*
I might end up having to live here, since Cerberus is chasing me ill have to run away but running away will surely end my life, either because Cerberus is faster or because I might encounter something as deadly as Cerberus.
But if I live here then I must find a way to deal with Cerberus.
I'm not sure but I have a feeling that this old house might have more secrets, I'll just have to dig deep enough.
An hourlater... Well, I said that but no matter how much I searched I found nothing at all, as if the only good thing here is the mysterious book.
This place is getting gloomy I guess it's already sunset, the place seems very small now, but the darker it gets the heavier the presence of spirits become.
I can feel their gaze lingering at me, how creepy.
I've felt worse.
! I flinched as I noticed a weirdly shaped spirit motionless in the corner, it looked a little like a bird but with many legs, only two touching the floor while the rest are off the ground menacingly with their sharp claws, the bird had multiple eyes situated in a similar fashion to a crown around the head, and with a very long sharp beak.
I slowly got closer to the bird but it didn't startled it, well that's better.
Getting even closer, the bird was silent, so I got even closer carefully.
Then I sat right in front of the bird, and still no response, as if the bird just doesn't care.
Then I noticed something underneath the bird, the wooden floor underneath the bird was slightly different with a square cut, seems interesting...
I extended my hand towards the odd square of wood underneath the bird slowly, but the second I touched the wood !
The bird screeched lunaticly, and turned formless like smoke, then clenched to my hands and turned more dense like liquid.
I flinched and fell backwards and tried to get rid of it to no avail, the spirit slowly seeped in my right hand turning it blue, and taking control over it.
More than that is not just the horror of seeing a spirit seep into your hand but the pain was the worst part, feeling like numerous needles endlessly going through my flesh and bones and getting out of the other side.
The pain was so weird it can not be described as pain, it was more like an alarming sensation that doesn't stop.
Slowly but surely the weird sensation disappeared but when I looked at my hand I was terrified!.
Bird legs bird claws multiple bird eyes and bird skin, grew through my hands protruding out of it like cancerous mutations, even feathers and beaks grew on my hand turning it to a mutated abomination.
My skin paled and my heart stopped foe a second, then I took a deep breath banting none stop in a panic.
The growths wrapped around my hand, 'shit, damn it, helll'
I just didn't know what the hell to do now, I was just panicking as I watched my hand turn to a mad-mans painting.
Then after a few minutes of twitching in horror, finally the pain disappeared but... my hand still looks like a nightmare abomination.
I tried to move my hand but no matter how hard I try I couldn't.
I just kept looking at the horrible image of my hand, I was about to vomit.
After a few more minutes I got up but I still couldn't move my hand, I then looked at the corner with the odd square of wood, and moved towards it.
And looked at it for a little while then I tried to dig it open with a knife, it took some effort but in the end it broke open revealing a hidden box.
I looked at it for a second then I lift it out, and put it on the wooden floor, I looked at it the box was olso made of wood but it had marks carvings and patterns. Making it a little more odd, not something you'd expect to see in this old wooden little house.
I opened it with my left hand, my only able hand at the moment, inside it I found!! 'Shit' nothing, it was damn empty...
