a haunting tale

📷IT was 1900, cold and horrible night when the peace was going to be broken in a small village in the woods.


it was a cold winters night and rose didn't know why she was so compelled to be out so late the forest is so scary at night but looks lovely with all the snow but eerie at the same time she went deeper and deeper not knowing why she just had a feeling she had too something was luring her into the clearing she couldn't see what but she could hear the whispers, they were all around her so she didn't know what direction they were coming from her mum always told stories about their village , horror stories so terrible that they just couldn't be real or could they now she was stuck in her nightmare not knowing what to do about it she just kept going, not knowing her were or why. the next morning her friends and family awoke to find that she was gone without a trace


2 years later

Charlie and Kevin still miss their older sister rose, even though it had already been 2 years. JANET and Jim, their mum and dad wouldn't give them any info about what had happened, they still don't know what had happened just what was rumored to have happened and they knew the legend surrounding the forest that their little village sits in.


So, they decided to go looking for answers, no matter what it took they were going to find out what happened to their sister.


Meanwhile... . . ..


Rachel and honey have decided to go on a camping trip, in the forest.


So how deep into the forest do you want to keep then, says Rachel, how about we go deep in and go to were rose disappeared, says honey. Rachel looks a bit scared and says, are you sure if you want to go that far in, you know what they say about that place don’t you. Honey looks a bit worried and says, I know what they say but where is your sense of adventure, I mean come on it's going to be fun.


So, with that, they start packing and getting ready for their trip, excitement hanging in the air.

When they were asked where they were going to camp, they simply said they were only going to go to the edge of the forest, they knew if they told the truth or where they were going, they would be stopped.


Rachel and honey said by to their friends and set out camping that night…………….


Rachel stops that whispering in my ear NOW! it’s not funny, says honey. It’s not me, replies Rachel, you have just woken me. Then who keeps whispering, replies honey, if you have been asleep this whole time. I don't know, replies Rachel, I can’t hear anything, go back to sleep, it’s late.


But honey doesn’t go back to sleep, she sits there listening to the whispers……….


The voices seem to say to her, follow us, come with us, you will be safe with us, we will never harm you, we are friends. honey follow's the whispering voice's, into the dark forest.


Rachel wakes up the next morning to find her friend gone without a trace!


While Rachel and honey were camping, Kevin and Charlie are doing some research.

They have found out that the name of the forest that their little village sits in is called Bayeux forest, and that the village used to be called blackwood but was changed 10 years ago to amber hollow.


Charlie looks up in horror and says, you know what these means don't you Kevin. Kevin looks at him dismayed and replies, this was Flaros was summoned by a cult about 9 years ago.


Both Charlie and Kevin exchange glances and at the same time say THAT’S just great!

They read on and find out that the cult of flaros lost control of the demon and it went on a rampage.it appears that in the underworld he is a duke and in command of 20 legions.


Just then


Hey, Charlie, says Kevin did the whole village die or were there any survivors.

Charlie looked pale and replied with, the whole village was destroyed, and the cult vanished, no one knows if they survived or not.


But


Kevin turns around and says there’s more, once flavros has been summoned but not sent back, he can control all spirits, even stop an Exorcism from happening.

Neither of them knows what can be done or if they are going to be believed or not.


Then they hear whispers that seem to be surrounding them.


The twins look at each other and at the same time shout


RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As Rachel was coming back into the village from the forest, she bumped into Kevin and Charlie.


Rachel comment’s how pale the two boys look, and she asks them what has happened? Charlie tells her that while they were researching through scrolls and books, they heard scary whispers coming from all directions.


Kevin just then notice’s that honey isn’t here, where is honey Kevin asks? she did go camping with you, didn't she? Rachel look's saddened and crest fell, yes, we went camping together last night but she went missing during the night replies Rachel.


Let me guess say’s Charlie, she heard whispers calling to her and telling her everything is going to be ok if she goes with them.


YES!!!!!! Shout’s Rachel, how did you know? Kevin look’s at Charlie, then say’s it was the whisper’s that we were running from.


Rachel turn’s and ask’s if they have found anything out and how to stop it?


Kevin and Charlie take turn’s telling her what they have found out, but they say we still don’t know how to stop it.


Suddenly Rachel says what's that, the boy's turn to look at her and as they do, they hear the whisper's again.


Kevin says we need to move NOW !!!! it's not safe here.


With that, they all RUN off together.


Just then………….


There was a woman’s scream, defending everyone.


Rachel, Kevin and Charlie run towards the sound.


As they approach they duck down to hide in the bushes, not that far from them they can see a leopard creature approaching Sarah, the boy’s cousin.


The eye’s glowing a sinister violet,

flaming stripes coming from its body.

Kevin whispers to the other two, that’s a demon, it must be Flavros, what are we going to do replies, Charlie.?


Without waiting for an answer Rachel just leaps up and runs at the leopard, the boy’s shout her name. flavros turn’s his head to the towards the sudden noise, as quick as a blink of the eye he changes into his human form.


Shocked Rachel stop's in her track's not sure what to do next, starring at the demon and realizing that he is much better looking like a leopard. She decides to shout at it, stop right there and leave Sarah alone.


Flavros for a moment considers her and stare’s her down.


Who are you to tell me what to do? girl, the demon says, I'm the duke of hell and I shall do as I please.


With that, he gives a hyena laugh, a horrible squealing laugh.


He then turns to face Sarah again and walk's straight into her.


Her face has a sinister grin and she lets out that hyena's laugh and vanishes.


Flaros is pleased with himself, this body is going to be useful, he says half to himself and half out loud.


If I’m going to be staying in this village for a while, I think I’m going to invite some friends.

And I know the right demon to start things off with.


Flaros draw’s a ritual circle on the soil, adding various black magic symbols here and there, once finished he starts a chant, tall black shadow's start to surround him, adding to the chant.


Yes, he chuckles to himself, this demon will do nicely.


The chant’s getting louder and louder, then the sky turned a deathly dark, as the sun disappeared out of sight.


A shape starts to take form in the center of the circle.


It starts to look like a wolf, but the tail doesn’t look quite right, it’s a serpent’s tail, as the creature breath’s, small flame’s leave’s its mouth.


Flaros smiles, he knows exactly who this is.


Amon takes in his new surroundings and then see's flaros.


His eye’s flash a cloudy grey and grin’s.


He knows exactly who he is with and knows there is going to be some fun coming his way.

They both stand and stare at each other, then they both vanish into the night.


Jean and Jamie’s are taking the two dog’s Sam and Jessie out for a walk, it's a really cold night, so cold that you can see your breath. Very unusually for that time of year.


Jean turn’s to James and comments on how cold it is but suddenly, the dog’s start to whimper and whine.


She then noticed's James isn’t looking at her, he is transfixed with looking straight ahead.

She looks all around her to see if she can see anything, all she could see was a sea of trees.


Then


Jean starts to see figure’s coming towards here, hello she shouts, James is still staring straight ahead. There is no answer from the figures, there are more of them now. As they get closer she realizes she can see straight through them.


The ghost’s run at them shouting all at once THEIR COMING, YOU CAN’T STOP THEM.

One of them gets in jean's face and grip’s her. She starts to get a sharp pain in her temple’s.

There are flashes of image’s, the voice in her head tells her it's of the past, present, and future.


The other ghost’s start to form a circle.


DEATH, DESTRUCTION, DISAPPEAR


WHAT HAS BEEN WILL BE AGAIN


THEIR COMING, YOU CAN’T STOP THEM.


One last image Crosse’s her vision, at least 40 legions of demon's, cheering and waiting for orders.


Janet and Jim, Kevin and Charlie’s parent’s, have meat up with jean and James, Rachel’s parent’s


So, say’s Janet, are little sleepy village is under attack, but you don’t know by what?

Exactly replies jean, I know it sounds crazy, but it did happen, exactly the way we have told you.


Well, how do you expect us to believe you, please tell me that? demand’s Jim.


DON’T YOU DARE SPEAK TO MY WIFE LIKE THAT shout’s James.

Well, you weren't any help, were you? Jim ask’s


Janet and jean say at the same time-FIGHTING ISN'T GOING TO HELP.


Jean thinks and then say's, fighting amongst ourselves is what they want, we must come up with a plan.


Janet agrees but then adds we must find out what we are up against.

The cottage’s door bang’s open


Kevin, Charlie, and Rachel rush in


WE KNOW whom WE NEED TO FIGHT they all shout together


WHERE IS SARAH shout back all the parent’s together


Kevin starts to explain everything that they have been through and what they managed to find out.


Ok then say’s Janet let’s get started on that plan then.


Jim stand’s up, now then each of us is clear on the plan?


Kevin speaks up, what if everything goes wrong, and someone dies?


Nothing is going to wrong replies’ Jim


Charlie answer’s back, I’m not sure if I like this plan or not.


It’s the only one, we got lad reason’s Jim


Well then say’s Kevin, we still have the problem of Sarah being possessed, we need to decide what we're going to do about it and it won't be the easy bit.


Well, we will deal with that when it's time, half to himself I hope.


We need to do more research say's Charlie, oh Charlie there's never going to be enough time for that, we're running out of time reason's Jim.


Kevin points at the window, there’s someone there.


As they turned to look, there is writing on the window


FLAROS HAS SUMMONED AMON


Nothing has changed says, Jim.


Are you sure say’s Kevin and Charlie together


Jim is unsure what to say next, he knows he must be careful, what happens next might just seal everyone's fate forever.


Yes, says Jim, we must continue with the plan no matter what happens, it's our only hope.

Well then replies Kevin it’s decided it’s now or never then.


Because they lived in a small village they needed to travel to get the one weapon they know would save them all. They were going to travel from England to Germany.


As a group, they decided it would be Kevin and Charlie that would be the ones that were to go, so they started to pack.


So, Rachel asks, do you think that it will work?


Kevin and Charlie look at each other uncomfortably and reply with, we hope so, I mean there isn't a sure thing for something like this, but it should work says, Kevin.


Well then says Rachel, I wish you luck Kevin and I hope you both return safely.


Kevin blushes, good luck to you as well Rachel, I think you are going to need it more.

You never know replies, Rachel.


Charlie approaches them, it’s time to go, bro, ok says Kevin.


By they both say


Bye says, Rachel.


In the mirror behind Rachel, just for a brief minute two ghost children appear and disappear smiling.


Amon has decided he is going to cause mischief while he is waiting for flaros to get ready.

Amon starts small forest fires by vomiting up flames, with that he heads to the village and cause’s trouble by starting fight’s by touching people.


Rachel spots him and tries to warn people but no one listens to her.


Amon spots her and runs at her and then she unwillingly becomes his host. There is a turmoil going on inside her, but Amon eventually wins. His eyes flash a deep electric blue, chuckling to himself, he says this is going to be bloody brilliant.


Then he walks away whistling.


Charlie has seen the whole thing happen but was too scared to do anything.

Once again two small ghost children appear and disappear at a blink of an eye.


Kevin returns home that night.


He meets up with Charlie the next morning, Charlie tells Kevin everything that had happened while he has been away.


At least I have got our secret weapon, well that and an extra one. What is it? asks Charlie, it called the dolphin sapphire, reply’s Kevin, a mysterious girl give it to me when I got off the plane last night.


What does the sapphire do? asks Charlie, it has the power to trap or realize spirits, demons or anything else that’s supernatural, reply’s Kevin.


We can use that instead of the crucifix. Not really says Kevin, I have been told only to use it if everything else fails.


Well says Charlie more in a whisper at least we have a plan b now. Let’s just hope we don’t need it answers Kevin.


The next day they meet up with Jim, James, Janet, and jean. So, Jim says, with this new weapon we have got something to fall back on.


When are we going to start this? asks jean, I have been told to wait until the summer solstice, answers Kevin. That soon she says, that’s only in a couple of days. I know but apparently, that's the best time for both objects to work.


So, says Jim, it’s up to Kevin and Charlie to start everything but if it looks like it's going to go wrong, which it might then I will step in and finish what has been started.


Kevin will have the crucifix and Charlie will have the sapphire.


Amon found flaros still busy and getting ready for bringing forth his legions.


Flaros aware of him just standing there, turns around and looks at him and says I have summoned Zuzu, he won't mind getting revenge, he needs some right now, he has been banished from a cottage not long ago.


Amon looks at him and smiles, he knows with Zuzu on their side, not much will be able to stop them now.


Charlie and Kevin are nervous about the plan but know it’s the only way they can stop the demon’s, but they are also worried about honey and Rachel, what if they are still in there and they die too.


Kevin says we need a new plan. Charlie knows this is true if they want to save the girls as well as stopping the demon's, well he says, any bright ideas then?

No answers Kevin looking upset, but I will think of one, you better had because I can’t think of anything reply’s Charlie.


So, Kevin decided that they were going to stop those demons, no matter the cost.

That night Kevin and Charlie meet up and went through the plan.


So, I say Kevin, will have the dolphin sapphire and you will have the crucifix, by the way there something I haven’t said about that, which is it has a bit of Christ’s blood on it.


Charlie gives him one of those weird looks and says why didn’t you say anything before? just in case we where overheard answers Kevin.


So, we are doing it tonight then, they both agree, looking at each other knowingly.


That night ….


Kevin and Charlie went into the forest together, looking for flaros and Amon.


Flaros and Amon sensed them coming and so did zuzu.


Charlie and Kevin stood and stared down the demons.


Charlie made the first move, he ran at flaros and made to stab him with the crucifix, he missed, he changed direction and went after Amon, moved to stab him and hit him in the chest right by his heart. Flaros flung him across the ground in a rage, picked him and threw him against a tree, he went limp and fell to the ground with a thump.


Then flaros and Zuzu turned their attention onto Kevin.


Flaros and Zuzu both rushed at Kevin at the same time. Kevin lifted the sapphire and there was a blue glow coming from it, it sucked in Zuzu. Flaros tackled Kevin and knocked the sapphire from his hand.


Kevin shot up made a move for it and flaros threw him across the ground. Kevin got up more slowly and made a move for the sapphire and flaros threw him against a tree for his affects.

Just then the two ghost children turned up, the little girl picked up the sapphire, it started to glow blue again and with that, all three disappeared in blue smoke.


Kevin was left alone.


That night when their parents had taken Charlie to hospital, rose returned to them.


The end.
