Horror

There is a village named "south goldwater" where Halloween celebrated with great care & joy.The village got its name from the well, as that whatever the seasons it will never dry.Although the villagers are missing some things from every Halloween, but they don't seem bothered as they say, "may be that's the thing that doesn't belong to them also brings them bad omen, so they went missing" and that's how they spent Halloween holidays.

As this Halloween week started the villagers are excited and looking forward to it.At the beginning of the Halloween week something strange happened in the village...This time someone went missing from the village.she's the woman who resided in the village 4years ago.she lived alone who'd known to be brave with lots of self-confidence.Her name was cindy.And she used to be a personal tutor for kids in their village.

The villagers were sacred and went to report the missing.As the night came by, there were some strange "evil laughing" noises started around the village.The villagers don't be able to sleep and decided to go to see their village's priest.

When they were on their way the laugh becomes stronger and stronger and a sudden cyclone came by, but thankfully they reached the church.They complained to the priest that, something strange is happening around, and we are terrified what do we do?

The priest calmly said may be it's because of the seasonal changes soon it's going to be winter that's why these are all happening..

Villagers said, "but what about the evil laughs, also there is a woman who went missing since this morning, no one seen her after last evening". 

The priest surprised, "a woman went missing!" as he doesn't know because he always used to pray all day and lived next to the church.

And surprisingly asked, "what happened to her why she's missing?"

Villagers said, "we don't know too we just reported her as missing this evening where the kids said, teacher is not in her house, and we searched for her all around the village and didn't find".

The priest with sad face, "poor child don't know what she's doing"

The villagers asked, may be it's because of that curse?

The priest rushed and told the villagers, "I will go visit my elder who'd have known about that curse" and said he will return tonight with him ask him to visit our village.

The villagers were terrified by murmuring about the curse being awaken or not, if parker's ring found it's body his curse make him stronger, and he'll will wipe out our village!!! 

On the same night a student named Tim from the village left the house with 3others from his neighbour friends to see the haunted house.

Tim wanted to prove them they were wrong and there isn't such things as ghost exist.so he and 3other students went to the empty house nearby the graveyard.

They went to that empty house because their parents warned them when they were kids, ' "don't go to that house as it was haunted so no one bought it yet" so they were curious about what's in that house.

As the moon came by they went to that haunted house at 12'o clock and visited all rooms with their trembling hands, after an hour wentby the tremble stopped and Tim said that, "I told you guys there isn't any ghost in this world" an another half hour has passed, they decided to go home, as if their parents know they would be grounded for a month.

Then suddenly a voice whispered into their ears that, "do you think you can come and go as your wish" with an evil laugh...

They all scared to death and one of his friends named Asher said, "guys did any of you heard the whispering" with stuttering voice.

Others "yeah" suddenly Tim said, "guys I think we have to hurry someone is trying to frighten us".

Asher said, "no it's the ghost our parents were right this house is haunted we are locked here with ghosts we will never return" while crying.

Tim said, "relax ash there is no ghost it's just a person we can return for now we have to hurry" relaxed Asher.When take their first step, lights went off, and they know from movies there isn't any lights in haunted houses, so they bring their torches with them.Asher was so scared, they all started to walk together, when they take their next step again there is a whispering "going already Asher" again with an evil laugh..

Asher cried out loud and said, "we were just curious we didn't do anything wrong please let us go and I we won't come again".

Asher, "guys run"....

After an hour went by they didn't find a door where they first entered the house.Asher exhausted said, "we walked for an hour but there isn't any door yet, but we entered the house by just 10min of walking does anyone seem to think this isn't strange" with low-pitched voice.

And a whispering voice replied to Asher, "yes you're right Asher this means you are all trapped in my house forever" this time evil wind blows..

Asher with frightened voice and asked whispering voice, "why are you replying to me?".

Tim frustrated and said, "ash he knows you are frightened, so he want to fool you don't be silly and continue walking".

Asher said, "I can't move guys help me" and crying....

Ghost whispered, "don't try you won't be release until I free you".

Other guys rushed to Asher and try to move him, but they can't Asher stuck to the floor like a pillar..

Tim angrily asked, "what do you want why you do this to us if you are not scared let us go, and we won't tell anything about you to our village peoples".

Ghost shouted, "do you think I'm doing this because I'm scared" and then the house was shaken like earthquake windows started to tap itself...

They all frightened and Asher calmly asked, "what do you want from us please let us know".

Ghost replied, "do you really do if I told you what I want".Asher "yes of course".

Ghost calmly said, 'I'm not greedy to ask for your lives just a simple wish of mine.

All of them with terrified voice, "we will do tell us".

Alright at first go to the graveyard nearby this house and find a tombstone named parker cash.

The students said, "we were so frightened how we will go to that graveyard".

Ghost replied sarcastically, "alright then die while you are young" angered inside.

Students then said, "no no we will go please continue".

Ghost continued, "If you find parker's tombstone, dig his graveyard"....Asher interrupted-"who's parker?"

Ghost angrily replied, "don't talk when I'm speaking ash I thought you're a good boy who wants to return to your house" with an evil laugh..

Asher repeated, "sorry sorry sorry for asking".

Ghost gave a warning if anyone interrupt me this time if I'm not completed my sentence no one will be able to go home forever....and suddenly thunder bolts came in to the haunted house..

After seeing their terrified faces the Ghost then freely told them to "dig parker's graveyard and find his yellow stoned diamond ring after that find a man he has to be handsome, at the same time have an evil side on him and put this ring on his finger after that your job will be over, and he can't remove the ring forever so don't try to put it on yourselves".

Ghost whispered again every student ears that-"If you try to be smart like destroy that ring I will find you, and that would be your last day of your lives and your parents too "don't you want to know about your tutor" with an evil laugh..... she released me from my room because, I showed her the truth about her boyfriend, she's so heartbroken, so I spared her life after that she left the village!!with high-pitched laughs.... save that in your mind especially you Tim I know you think I won't exist if want to see me, do what I said'.

As soon as the door opened they all hurried and went to graveyard 

Started to dig with a shovel that was placed nearby the tombstone.All of them started digging while, Asher said-"Is this ring some kind of cursed or not?" With scared low pitch.

After the digging they found that yellow ring on the skeleton's hand 

Asher with his stuttering voice, "how we're going to get this ring from that hand".

Tim bravely said, "I will take it". 

And then they safely reached their village, Tim took the ring with him.

And called everyone on phones asked them "so whom we are going to give this ring".

Others "no idea".

Asher suddenly "how about him". Others "who".Asher "Miss cindy's boyfriend a gold digger".

Tim-"good idea ash I don't like him at all, he even borrowed money from the kids whom Miss cindy is tutoring and told the kids don't tell anyone about this to her or anyone" and also he threatened the kids if they told her he will make them suffer by all means!!!

Asher -how do you know all of this!!

Tim- I saw it so I wanted to punish him, and the time has come!!!

Asher, "so how we gonna trick him to wear this ring".

Tim-I think I have an idea!!

Others-Tell us quick!!

Tim elaborated "we will go to his house and meet him the next morning" then we would act sadly about Miss cindy's missing and gave him this ring, saying that this ring was prepared by Miss cindy to propose to you!!

Asher -what if he didn't put the ring in his finger but went to sell that!!!

Tim-He will sell if we say its diamond, so what if we say it's just a yellow stoned ring!! but we force him to put the ring on the spot.

Asher applauded, "great idea Tim we will definitely go". And all hung up gone to sleep.

After a calm night they all gathered in front of Davis(cindy's boyfriend) house and met Davis.At first they were surprised that Davis is not worried about his girlfriend went missing, so they did what they planned except they said it's a diamond ring!!

As soon as he heard that he acted like a worried boyfriend in front of the students in a crying voice "my girlfriend wanted to present me a diamond ring that's so sweet of her".

Davis said, "I will keep this until she returns don't worry kids".Then, he pushed them out of his house..students don't know what to do, so they left Davis house and told their parents about last night.

Davis with a greedy voice, "With this ring I can leave the village and buy myself a house in the city". So, he decided to run away, while on his decision he called the students and asked them to meet at his house as he's going to put the ring and show them that he's going to leave as without his girlfriend he can't live in this village like a cared boyfriend.

But when he put the ring something happened that's not he wished for!!! The moment he put the ring sky turned dark, wind blown stronger than before, thunder bolts hit him hard and only his screaming sound heard.After that, rain and storm starts to pour..

The villagers rushed to Davis house before he puts the ring, when they heard the story from the students!!! But, he already did!!

The villagers terrified and build up the courage to knock Davis door and shouted, "Davis come out we have to talk"..but he's doing nothing but silence!!

After silence, the door opened and a voice said-why you're looking for him?

Villagers-we need to talk Davis don't put that ring that's cursed!!!

And at the door a silhouette appeared and walking towards the villagers they frightened and take a step backward, and he appeared, "that's too late to say to him" parker laughs

Villagers gasps and terrified when they saw parker!!!

Finally, he appeared in front of us!! Villagers shouted ran for your lives 

Parker came back to life!!!

The villagers gathered at church and wait for the priest to come, and prayed with their and shaking hands to protect them..

The students who don't know about parker asked their parents who's this parker??

The villagers started parker's story: Parker cash grew in that haunted house.He used to lived with his grandma she's his only family after his father passed away!!

He's a sweet rich kid would take other poor kids to his house, feed them, play with them, and give them what they want...also he used to be Tim's father's friend..

But as he grew up her grandma died of poisoning, because of that he's so agitated, and holding grudges against the villagers that we poisoned grandma!!!After his grandma died he never left his house and when his friends go to see him he acted like a crazy person who wanted to kill the whole village!!!No one visited him after that but one day a strange foul smell surrounded the village police found parker dead body in the well, it happened 1week ago...after that incident no one goes near that house and villagers asked the priest to do some rituals to ease the spirit of parker!! The priest sealed the parker's room with some talisman also the well!! But once it's broken we can't stop parker he's cursed!!!

Meanwhile thunder bolts starts to hit the church and whispering voices start to appear, "come out you traitors"

The villagers were so scared to go out but with thunder bolts and cyclone the church eventually broke halfway one by one ran out for their lives!! 

When they started to run suddenly thunder stopped and everything went normal, so they went to their homes. On that night Tim's house started to shake even Tim got scared and stepped downstairs to his mother's and father's room...when he opened he saw parker and shouted, "step away from my parents room".. parker whispered Tim's ears -don't you know why I died??

While speaking to him he took Tim's father and disappeared...

Tim cried and asked his mother where's father and ran away to search his father...as he shouted on the roads and asked every villagers house, but he didn't find his father!!!so he finally went to the haunted house and door opened for him, lights turned on, and chair came to him to sit, shoes stepping voice came from stairs and parker approached in front of him..Tim gasped and wanted to run but didn't as he has to find his father, so he asked with trembling voice "where is my father?".

Parker-"do you wanna search this house" laughed parker!!

Tim searched all over the house but can't find his father, so he asked parker politely, "please tell me where is my father"

Parker with his evil voice, "If you sit with me and hear my story I will tell you" can you Tim?

Tim - "yes I will ".

Parker-I don't have anyone like you searching for your father.

No one from our village cared to know why I died!! They only wanted my money!...parker angered.

Tim interestingly, "you didn't die of depression?".That's what villagers said..

Parker angered, "no I was poisoning like my grandma and tortured by your father and my friends" with high-pitched voice..

"I begged them to spare my life but no one listened, now it's my turn to seek for my revenge" laughs parker..

Tim gasped and breathless when he heard!!

Parker, "your father always jealous that I'm rich!"

Tim agitated, "what no way he's one of the rich people from this village..why he would be jealous of you?"

Parker laughed, "do you think he's born with silver spoon?".with his angered voice, "He took all my properties when I dead even this haunted house he wanted to sell this the moment my death was discovered but I blocked it".

Tim stuttering voice, "no he's not that kind of person" while crying, "please let me have my father".

Parker angered, "after I told this story you still want your father?" Don't you be ashamed of your father's doing??

Tim asked politely, "I'm ashamed, but he's my father after all I know you died unfairly, but I promise to report my father for his doings, so please let me know where he's!!.

Parker calmly, "he's in the graveyard where he buried me but I buried him alive he will be dying slowly, I poisoned him like he did to me".

Tim rushed to graveyard, but his father is dying!!

Tim was so heartbroken angrily shouted parker, "do you satisfied now? You are a murderer".

Parker laughed and answered, "no I'm not satisfied, you have your father's blood in your body I want that too but in front of your father's eyes".

Tim's father shouting, "no Timmmm".

Parker with his agitated heart went to visit his friends house who poisoned him...He visited them every night, and tortured them to live in pain, and eventually killed them whom he believed to be his friends, but really not he realized it after he died...

When the day came parker disappeared, darkness surrounded the well, turned the water to red and dried day after that!!!

The priest and his elder priest did rituals around the well and the haunted house to save the village!!!
