Souls

Hi. My name is Yancy. Yes, Yancy Ailpass. I am 15 years old and have 4 siblings. Today, I was going to watch a movie with my friends, Brighid and Anemone. They are my two best friends. As I  got prepared for it and set up everything for them, I turned on the T.V to make sure it was working. Then it was time to Welcome my two best friends. We are going to watch a movie in our room. The movie that we were watching is based on a Romance and Science Fiction movie. I love Science Fiction. It is the best thing ever.

My friends are going to take a very long time to get here

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I hope it’s my friends.

As I checked the window to make sure that my friends were there, suddenly I saw someone lying on the ground. On the sidewalk. They were pale. And motionless

I shuddered. Since my parents are not here and my siblings were sleeping, I was the only one awake in the house.

Suddenly, my brother came inside my room. His name was Briar. He was 18 years old.

“Aren’t you friends coming?” he asked.

I slowly turned my head to him.

“Well, I thought that they were coming,” I said. “But I think that they might be late.”

“Okay,” he said. “Well the doorbell rang anyway, so I think it might be your friends or mom and dad.”

“Okay,” I said, still thinking about the body on the sidewalk.

As I came downstairs and walked toward the door, I took a deep breath and slowly opened it.

“Hello,” I said, waving.

But it was not my parents or my friends. It was a tall man, wearing dark clothes.

I slowly backed off. “Who are you?” I asked.

“Are your parents here?” he asked. 

“No, but I am looking for my friends. I invited them over for a sleepover, but I am not sure where they are.”

“Okay,” he said. Then, as Briar came downstairs,  checking his phone, he looked at the man and gasped shockingly.

“Yancy, run!” he yelled.

“Huh-”

But it was too late. I couldn’t see anything and lost consciousness.

After what seemed like forever, I began to wake up.

I was not home. I was in a different place.

“Where am I?” I asked.

“My house,” said a male voice. 

I looked up right and left.

Then, suddenly I saw my two friends.

“Yancy?” they asked.

“Brighid? Anemone? What are you guys doing here?”

“What are you doing here?” they asked.

“How am I supposed to know?” I said.

Then I thought of the man at my house and the voice I heard in the house that I am in.

“Where are we?” said Anemone.

“I think we are in someone’s house,” I said. “I think we are kidnapped.”

“What?” 

“Someone kidnapped us?” said Brighid.

I nodded.

My friends and I looked around to see anything suspicious.

Then we saw the man who kidnapped us.

“Hello,” he said.

I saw him, furiously.

“Who are you? And why did you kidnap us?”

“Who knows,” he said.

Then, I also thought that he had something to do with the person on the sidewalk.

“Who was that person on the sidewalk?” I asked, suspiciously.

He looked at me.

“How did you know?” he asked.

“I checked outside,” I said. “There was a person lying on the sidewalk, motionless and unconscious with a pale face.”

“Really?” asked Brighid.

I nodded.

The man looked at us for a very long time.

I got impatient.

“Did you?” I asked.

“Well, I think I did,” he asked, with an evil smile on his face.

“Who was that person?”

“Just someone I knew.  I took away her soul, you know.”

My friends shivered.

“What?” I asked. “You took someone’s soul? Are you human?”

“Well, I don’t know,” he said.

“So you kidnapped us to take away our soles?” I asked.

“Well, yes,” he said.

“Why?” asked Anemone.

“Because, I want you guys to know that you will go to a different place,” he said.

“What?”

“When I take away your soles, you guys will go to a different place without your bodies,” he said.

“Why would you take away someone’s soul?” I asked.

“Because, it’s for experience,” he said.

“And why did you smile evilly?”

“Just to scare you,” he said. “But, trust me, this is not scary. At all.”

“So seeing someone lie down on the sidewalk with a pale face is not scary?”

“Yup,” he said.

“So, what did you do to the person?” I asked.

“What I did is that, since I only took her soul, I carried her body to a room full of candles and made sure that everything is alright with her soul.”

My friends and I looked at each other.

“Wait, really?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“So what did you do with her soul?”

“You will find out once I take yours,” he said.

Then I thought of my brother.

“What did you do to Briar?” I asked.

“Well, I also took his soul. I only made sure you also lost consciousness so that you wouldn’t know.”

“Who is Briar?” asked Brighid.

“My brother.”

“Okay.”

“Since I took his soul, you will also be able to see him once I take yours,” said the man. “And the girl on the street. I also took other people's souls, too. Also, by the way, my name is Giancarlo. I am not a human. I am a magic demon. A possessor.”

“What? But you look like a human,” said Anemone.

“Nope. A magic demon. Now let me take your souls.”

Before we could speak, he instantly took away our souls and we couldn’t see anything.

“After a very long time, I finally opened my eyes.

I was in the clouds. Some sort of Paradise thing. I slowly opened my eyes wide enough to see what happened. I was in the sky. 

“Yancy!” someone called out.

 I turned my head around.

“Brighid? Anemone?” I asked. Then that was when I saw them.

They had nobodies and they were souls.

“Oh my God, guys!” I yelled.

I flew over to them, in order to find out that they were bodiless people. They only had souls.

“Oh my God, guys, you are bodiless,” I said.

“Yup. We are.”

I looked around at other people and already knew what was going on.

“Giancarlo is taking away people's souls and he is causing them to fly into some Heaven place,” I said.

“But why?” asked Anemone.

“I don’t know,” I said.

“ Our movie night is ruined,” said Brighid.

“I know,” said Anemone.

“Yup, but we have a bigger problem to face,” I said.

“Like what?”

“Like returning to our bodies,” I said.

“But how?”

“I am not sure, but what I do know is that Giancarlo might want to use the bodies for something.”

“Oh,” they said.

“So, what do we do now?” asked Brighid.

“We should find people we know,” I said.

As we flew to search for people we know, I suddenly saw Briar.

“Briar?”

“Yancy?”

We both looked at each other for a long time and then hugged each other.

“I missed you,” he said.

“Same,” I said.

As he let go, he then said, “I was trying to warn you, but I don’t think you heard me because you were being abducted.”

“Oh,” I said.

“I was trying to say that you were going to be abducted by him, Giancarlo,” he said.

“Wait, you know him?” I said.

“Yes, Mom and Dad said that he was a pretty evil man,” said Briar. “He likes to take people’s souls and do something with their bodies. And now, this is where we are all here now.”

“Then how do we return back?” I asked.

“We need to find a special place to return our bodies back,” he said.

“Where?”

“I am not sure, but if we could fly back down to Earth maybe we could find it,” he said.

“Okay, should I go call my friends?” I said.

“Yes, but we need to find more people,” he said. “Like our parents and siblings might be missing as well.”

“Okay,” I said. “Then let's go find them.”

We flew around as much as we could, but we couldn’t find them.

“We looked everywhere,” I said. “But we can’t find them.”

“We have to,” he said. “Or else, it would be too late.”

“Too late?”

“Yup. If we don’t do this on time, Gian will take over our lives.”

“Okay.”

“Let's ask people if they know where our families are.”

“”Out it.”

We began to ask people if they knew where their families were and we wanted them to help us because we were so desperate for them that I immediately stopped flying.

“What's wrong?” asked Briar.

“I am too tired,” I said. “I want to have my body and have a good time with my friends and family.

“Don't worry, it is okay, you are a strong girl. You can do this,” he said.

“Really,” he said. “We will find our parents. And siblings. Don’t worry.

“Briar? Yancy?”

We turned around.

It was them.

“Mom. Dad!” we yelled.

We flew to them and gave them a big hug.

“How are you? We missed you guys. Thank goodness we found you.”

“Yes,” said my Dad. “Now, we just have to find a way to get to Giant's house so that he will return our things to us. Our bodies.”

“All we need is to fly down there and find a potion that would bring back our bodies. After that, we will call the police to arrest Gian and after that we are safe,” said Briar.

“Cool,” said Mom. “But how do we do that exactly?”

“We need to make sure that no one would follow us, not even Yancy’s friends,” said Dad. “If someone follows us they could get hurt.”

“How?”

“Their souls might be in pain due to the fact that only a few souls could be in Gian’s house. Gian’s potions are in his lab room. We need to find the blue one and everything is okay.”

“Okay,” I said. “Wait, what about our siblings?”

Mom and Dad looked at me.

“Gian is only getting old people, not kids or babies,” said Briar.

“Why?”

“Because he knows that if he does it then the kids would probably suffer and there would be no one to help them.”

“Okay,” I said. “I hope our siblings are all right.”

We nodded our heads and carefully, we flew down to Gian’s house.

There was barely anyone on Earth, except young children, in their homes, yelling for their Moms and Dads.

“Mommy!” a boy wailed. 

“Daddy!” whined a little girl.

We looked at the kids, then at each other.

“Are our kids still in the house?” asked Mom.

“Yup. And they are still sleeping. It’s still nighttime like around 12:30.”

“Then how are kids awake?”

“I am not exactly sure, maybe Gian ran into their homes sound full and kidnapped their parents. I think that is how they woke up and saw him take their parents.”

“Okay,” said Mom.

“But we have to be very still and very gentle so that Gian doesn’t sense our souls,” said Briar.

“We need to be very careful.”

“Okay,” I said.

We flew to his house in the nick of time and decided to fly in different directions.

I saw the full version of his house.

He had a huge kitchen, a big bedroom for himself, a huge library full of tons of books, a gym area, and etc.

“Suddenly, Dad whispered,” I found the laboratory room.”

“Good job, dear,” said Mom.

We entered the laboratory room and instantly found the blue potion.

“Now we need to possess it by using our soul powers and our bodies would return to us,” said Briar.

We blew a sigh of relief. 

Suddenly, Gian burst through the door and was shocked. Super shocked.

“What are you guys doing here!” he yelled.

“What?” I gasped. He could see us?”

“Everyone, fly!” yelled Dad.

We flew as fast as we could.

“How did he see us?” I asked.

“He has special lenses in his eyes that allow him to see souls,” said Briar.

“Oh.”

We flew up in the nick of time and decided to tell everyone about the potion.

“Here it is!” yelled Mom.

Everyone cheered.

After we assured everyone, suddenly Gian was flying on a jetpack racing toward us.

“Give me back my potion!” he shouted.

He charged toward Dad. Dad threw it to Briar. Briar threw it to me. I threw it to Mom.

He then charged toward her.

“Now miss, that belongs to me,” said Briar.

“Well, our bodies belong to us,” said Mom. She threw it back to Dad, who caught it very quickly.

“Give it to me!” yelled Gian.

“No!” yelled Dad. He twisted the bottle and at an instant, the potion started flying and splattering on the souls.

“No!!” yelled Gian.

Suddenly, I felt dizzy and immediately blacked out again.

After what seemed like forever, I finally woke up. In my body.

“Yes,” I said. But I was in Gian’s lab.

I ran out as fast as I could and there was Mom, Dad, and Briar. Back in their bodies.

“Hi,” I said.

“Hi,” they said.

I ran to them, gave them a hug, and asked where Giant is.

“Since you were sleeping for a very long time, we called the police and had him arrested,” said Briar.

“Whew!” I said. 

“Now everyone has their bodies back.”

“But where are my friends?” I asked.

“They are back with their families.”

“Okay.”

“Now, let's go home and forget about this issue,” said Mom.

“Okay.”

We decided to head home peacefully and safely.

As we headed back home, our siblings ran toward us sobbing.

“Where were you?” they asked.

“It’s a long story,” said Dad.

“It's okay, you guys don’t have to worry, we are safe,” said Mom.

After a long hug, we decided to watch a family movie together. The time was 1:30 am.

After that, we put the kids back to bed. 

“Good night, Yancy,” said Briar.

“Good night, Briar,” I said.

We said good night to our parents and fell asleep.

In the morning, I woke up stretching and yawning. The time was 7:00am.

“Cool,”  I said.

I got out of bed, ate a good breakfast, and decided to ask my friends to watch a movie with us in the morning.

“Yes,” said Mom.

I called my friends on the phone, and about 20 minutes later, they came.

“Welcome back, guys,” I said.

“Welcome back, Yancy,” they said.

As we settled in, they asked what movie we were watching.

“We are going to watch a fantasy and romance movie,” I said.

“Really?”

“Yup. We are not watching a scary movie, due to what happened yesterday.”

“Okay. I totally agree,” said Anemone.

“Yup. Totally,” said Brighid.

As we got the delicious foods ready, we started the movie and ate in the warm, bright morning.

Giancarlo in Jail

“Please let me out!” I yelled.

“No. You took away people’s souls!” yelled the guard.

“Please give me another chance!”

“Too late!”

Then I thought to myself, How did the Ailpass family get to my house?

I thought for a very long time.

I should have prevented an anti-soul potion in my lab so that no soul gets there.

After what seemed like forever, I had an idea.

Very great idea.

I used the orange potion I secretly had to rust the metal bars of the prison.

After that, there were no bars left. I was free.

The guards gasped.

“It’s too late. For you,” I said.

Then I snatched their guns, pinned them to the floor, tied them, blindfolded them, used a cloth to cover their mouths,  and ran away to my house, ignoring the sirens and alarms that just shook up.

I had successfully escaped prison, and now I am going to get revenge on the Ailpass family.

For good.
