"But who had possessed you and why?"Nikki asked."I'll tell you later. What's very important right now is to conduct this ritual and let them inside first."she said."Alright then. But how will you do the ritual when the holy water isn't enough. I meant to say that there are only five Jerry cans of holy water yet they're....."he pointed."I think we'll have to seek help from the witch's tree once again."she looked to be lost in thoughts as she spoke."What are you waiting for then."Mother then tried to summon the witch's tree but in vain. We thought that maybe it was because of our presence and she had to walk away from the crowd but again the tree didn't show up.A minute later, a twig came and fell on my head and turned into a rocket immediately. It was the same rocket that Carlos gave me. I had left it at the ocean bank hoping that he'd one day collect it from there because I had no hopes of seeing him again. Moreso I didn't want to keep it as it would remind me of the best momen
My heart jumped with joy and happiness after reading the letter. I couldn't wait to see my father again. I couldn't find sleep since my mind was very busy imagining how the surprise would be like..It was approaching to four o'clock in the morning when my heart skipped a beat and my mind went blank. I thought that maybe I was very excited to share the news with the family so I had to wake up and make noise through singing so that everyone's sleep could be interrupted and it really worked. Everybody woke up with a frowned face because they were angry with me at the moment."I have good news for you all.. I meant to say that father has called us all. He said he wants to surprise us."I said with a big smile."What's wrong with you? When did you see him?"Anu couldn't believe."Read this. I don't have to meet up with him in order to communicate with him, we're demons after all."I sighed."Read it for us Anu. Am sure Artie isn't joking about this, right Artie?"Nikki said."It's true Grandpa
My name is Artie. I lived with my family, mom and my dad, in the jungle. We had no neighbors but only listening to the sweet melodious voices of the singing birds from the jungle. I grew up from the house and never moved out.My parents used to tell me I was the only reason for their happiness so I made sure to keep them smiling.I was a type of girl who liked watching fantasies so I always wished to make the impossible possible.One day on my birthday, dad asked me to make a wish. I just told them I wanted a tattoo on my thigh instead. My mom scolded me for asking such a stupid thing on my day but it's what I wanted.Few weeks after my birthday, I was twenty four years by then. My mom had gone to visit her parents and my father too wasn't at home so I decided to break the promise I made to them to not move out of the house. Slowly but steadily, I broke out of our house and entered the thick Forest. It was very dark in there but I was so excited as it was my first time to step out o
"Mother, why are you here?" I asked after a long wait for her to say anything."Nothing big dear, am here to spend some time with my daughter, that's all." She said.She was a mother after all, she has the right to spend time with her daughter but to me it wasn't the right time. I was not in the mood. I was already stressed out and worried because of what my friend Bat had told me in the dream. I was still terrified but wanted to pretend to be fine before mother. Her spending time with me would create a room for suspicion so I had to find an excuse before anything wrong happens, but what?"Mother, let's spend more time together tomorrow. I still want to sleep please."I begged."It's alright dear, I came here just to check on you since I have heard you screaming but I see you are okay, right?" Said mother."Did I scream?"I asked."Yes, so loud too.""What! Did I say anything else out loud?" I was curious to know."No dear, you just screamed. I will leave now. Sleep tight darling." She
Still wondering, I heard someone knocking on the door. It was dad he had followed me. Maybe he wanted to scold me again. I opened the door and then he came inside. " I am sorry my dear daughter. You know I didn't mean to hurt you this much but you have made me so mad. How could you step out of the house.You see my intentions are pure for you. I only wish you the best this world could provide. I am your father, protecting you from any danger is my responsibility. Please try to understand your father.When your mother was pregnant with you, she went into the jungle and met a stranger woman who told her that she will give birth to a beautiful girl child and that that child will get married to a monster. The son of the devil (the king of the jungle). We had planned to do something to you but the happiness you brought to us was and still is incredible so we decided to raise you and not letting you step out of the house in order not to meet with the devil's son anywhere. And today when
All seemed to be going well before the day I came to my room wrapped in a towel after a shower in the morning. Unfortunately I had left the door to my room open so my mom had entered in.I was almost half-naked because I had only covered the lower part of my body.I wasn't aware that my mom was in my room, the moment I entered, she saw the tattoo on my back and screamed surprised."Wh-what happened to your back? What's that I have just seen?" She asked standing up and coming closer to me.I tried to turn around and hide my back but it was too late to do anything. I started to panick because I knew trouble has come my way and I didn't noticed that I had started crying already."How did you get this on your back?" Mom asked with a harsh voice.I didn't know or have what to say. I just shook my head."What do you mean by that?" She was really angry with me. But why? I wondered."I don't know how I got this mother, trust me please." I cried when I noticed she was thinking of sharing this
I then remembered my mom had Holly water. I started to look for it and finally found its bottle in the nightstand drawer.Turning to face them, I didn't find their statues there. They were all gone. "Unbelievable! Where have they gone? They are still statues and can't walk from here. How did they just disappear and why? Are they dead or something?" I wondered."Am I imagining things? But no am not, my parents are really gone." I dropped the bottle of Holly water and ran outside to look for them. They were not there either. Where could I search for them?" I asked myself." No need dear. We are here." My mom's voice interrupted my thoughts. I couldn't believe it at first so I had to look behind me to first confirm if she was the one.Indeed she was the one. I was so shocked but couldn't stop myself from running to them and hugged both of them. They were alive. But how did all this happen? How did they come back to normal and who helped them? I got so many questions in my mind. I need
Maybe I was getting insane because I held him tight and this sent him a message that I wanted more. So he gave me what I needed. It felt so good though not right. It was considered a sin according to our culture. Thinking about this, I pushed him away and that's when I woke up and realized it was just a dream.Though it was a dream, it still felt like real but I just ignored it since I was getting married the next day. On the day of the wedding,I was wearing a heavy makeup that brought out my beautiful face. I was looking extremely beautiful in a long white wedding gown. It was my day but I wasn't feeling happy at all since I was lost in thoughts about the dream I had last night. "Is it true that my friend Bat is in my body. How can this be possible? Is it true that he isn't a bat? Can it be possible that he changes to anything he needs to change to?"these were the questions that ran through my mind on the day of my wedding.I thought of looking at my tattoo. It was there but what
