SIBLING TERROR

Sibling Terror

Nothing had been happening from the past week. The noises had stopped. Things had stopped missing and everything was in its place1. Everything has stopped being eerie in the night. Seeing the black-eyed kid for the first time on camera, a few days earlier had chilled him to the core. His conscience reasoned with him saying that it was probably a kid smoking copious amounts of meth and was in a bad state of mind but deep down inside they all knew that wasn’t true because their house was the only one on the highway and they had never encountered a child for twenty years on that highway after midnight. His wife had also started experiencing headaches after midnight which grew worse day by day. But finally, it had stopped. At least that’s what he thought.

After having a party with his friends, he was in his car, drunk, returning home late one night. He had got a distress call from his wife who was begging him to come home as soon as he could. He left worried and reached home way past midnight fearing that a mishap had taken place because he had failed to pick up the call thrice. He was absolutely terrified to see the front gate open but he dismissed the thought because he also had a dog who would always open the door at times for a night chat with his friends on the other side. He went inside and could hear his wife moaning and beckoning him to come inside. He thought that his wife was about to give birth and quickly rushed into the room so that he could carry her to the hospital. He ran in, overjoyed with the fact that he was going to be father, and was chilled to the core with what he saw. The child which he had encountered on the camera was sitting in the corner with an eerie smile stretched across her face. Astonishingly, his wife couldn’t see her.

He was terrified and wanted to scream but his vocal chords had stopped producing noise. Suddenly, she vanished and his wife started screaming her lungs out. Her head was throbbing horribly and her eyes were suddenly losing their colour. He was extremely petrified with the horrific turn of events and stood rooted to his spot. His wife turned limp, her mouth frozen and her eyes as black as the night, exactly as that of the child. Suddenly, she leapt out of her bed and started strangling him. He could not breathe and started flailing his arms around. He gathered all his remaining strength and pushed her back with all his force and her head hit the floor. To his horror, Blood started oozing out of her head and her pulse started decreasing at an alarming rate. She was dead and had been possessed by the spirit of a girl he could remember was none other than his little sister. He had recognized her when he had seen her for the first time on the camera but was extremely petrified and didn’t want his wife to start being stressed and in tension when being so close to the birth of their first child after so many years. He was extremely horror struck because his sister had died years ago.

He still clearly remembered that day. He was going for a routine walk and saw his sister playing by herself in the hall. He was asked not to leave the house by leaving his sister alone but he absolutely needed to go. So, he challenged her to a hide and seek game which she loved to play. As soon as she went to hide, he left knowing that she will hide at some place where it would be difficult to find her. When he came back a little while later, his sister was not to be found anywhere in the house. Assuming she had gone to her friend’s house, he took off his clothes and took a shower. He then lit the bonfire he had prepared for himself. He could smell something burning and then saw a floating piece of cloth which was terribly charred. He would never forget that chilling and haunting scream which his sister produced. By the time he doused the fire, everything had turned to ashes. Fearing his own life, he ran away never to be found again which would turn out to be the biggest regret of his life.

He had taken the most precious thing - his little sister’s life away and now she came back to take revenge by snatching away his wife and his unborn child. He was heartbroken and decided to join his wife and child in the afterlife.

 He went to find the knife which would end his miserable life. Instead he could only find eerie drawings and phrases written all across the walls and a haunting laughter could be heard. He could only hear that haunted scream in his ears and had completely lost his state of mind. He took out his hammer and started hacking at his wife’s body, yelling and screaming his lungs out. Eventually, some cars stopped to check what was the matter and rushed inside to see a mentally sick man who had killed a woman, presumably his wife, and was hacking at her body to vent out his anger. The police was called and he was taken away for his sentence. In the act of brutally murdering his wife, he was sentenced to life long imprisonment. He died while spending his tenure in prison, but not before brutally killing some of the inmates and a police officer. To this day, it is believed that in his prison cell, the sounds of howling and cheering can be heard and that too of two people- one being a male and the other a female. The guards stopped working there and therefore, the prison was abandoned. T o this day, nobody has ventured even near those remains which held
