"Hello," Jessica said as she walked through the bloody fog. "Anyone there?"Her voice echoed through the silent corridor which seemed to be endless, causing her body to shiver uncontrollably. It was an eerie scene. Seeing that no one replied and it seemed she was the only one here, she decided to keep quiet and find a way to get out of the haunted house.I have to leave here alive, Jessica told herself as her red eyes darted around but it was all in vain as she couldn't even see an inch away from her face in the bloody fog. It seemed all her senses had been robbed away from her. Placed in such a dangerous situation she felt like crying but the tears wouldn't just come out. It was during this moment she remembered how Daniel had been trying to dissuade them from going on the excursion. No one had believed him then—absolutely no one—and now all of them had ended up in a real haunted house.The smell of pepper drilled into her nostrils all of a sudden, causing her to cough violently. Blo
The whole place was becoming darker and creepier, several shrills resounding through the woods. It seemed countless pairs of eyes were watching the quartet from the shadows, waiting for the perfect chance to attack them. The bloody fog which had originally being in the haunted house seeped out, spreading slowly into the woods.Seeing this, the quartet had worried expressions as they stared at the building. It had been minutes now but Daniel had not yet come out. It only meant one thing, he was dead."C'mon!" Samson couldn't wait any longer. He had just escaped from the strange mirror and the eerie reflection, he wasn't prepared to go through another bout of scary escapade. He had to escape now there was a slim chance or he wasn't going to escape. He had been lucky and he wouldn't take that for granted.As if the others wouldn't listen to him, he added, "There's a garage at the other side...""I know," Orpheus interrupted him, sizing him up with disgust. Why are you acting like the her
As the car drove through the dark woods, the headlights blared angrily, flashing through the darkness which seemed to engulf everything in it. It was moving at such a quick speed that everyone could feel the impact on their bodies as it bounced up and down the uneven ground.At that time Daniel looked out of the car onto the sky, his eyes opening in horror. For a baffling reason the blood moon which had suddenly appeared in the sky caused him to be terrified."What?" Selene who had been observing him asked out of concern. The others turned to look and when they saw the expression on his face, they were terrified as well. Daniel was someone known to be fearless so whatever had made him terrified right now was very much terrifying!Daniel pointed up to the sky, "Blood moon!"He then turned to Felicia and yelled, "Quick! We have to get out of this woods as quick as possible!"Hearing the warning Felicia pressed her foot to the accelerator pedal till it was flatly on the floor. More grey
"I think I'll drive you all to your homes personally," Smith said as he put away his note and pen. After taking their statements he felt a great pump within himself as he was going to solve another mysterious case spanning several decades ago. But there was something else that bothered him apart from the terrifying event. The other four students had seen Daniel's transformation. How was he going to make them shut up about what they saw?Pan on the other hand wasn't the least bit bothered about the other students knowing that Daniel was a Lycanthrope. Instead he was busy sizing up Orpheus and Selene casually, taking interest to their red eyes and hairs instead of their gorgeous looks. He didn't know why but his body spasmed momentarily when the boy turned to look at him. This almost made him lose his cool because he knew what that meant.He poses a great danger to me, Pan thought within himself. So that means he should be a Path two Cursed...Red hairs, red eyes and gorgeous looks, he n
That morning Pan drove the students to their various residences alongside Smith. They explained that Miss Pinmaker was involved in a human trafficking business and had successfully sold the other ten students people with unknown motives; only five students survived and Miss Pinmaker was nowhere to be seen.Felicia was the first to be sent to her residence followed by Samson and then Orpheus and Selene. Daniel was the last."I feel you two are ganging up to make life miserable for me," Daniel said. He didn't want to be insulted by Smith again.Smith smiled as he said, "Easy Dan. You're not the only person in this world with a low IQ. There are others as well.""Yeah," Daniel muttered. "Give me some hope."Pan chuckled where he was as he pulled over Daniel's residence, "There you go fella.""No one's at home," Daniel said as he patted Caroline. He had relied on his acute hearing to know that. There was not a single heartbeat coming from the house."Your mom seems to be busier than us,"
Daniel watched as Jackson approached him, his face showing no hint of fear. He was the killer of Jackson's father so he was very guilty. When then should he be afraid of revenge?Jackson clenched his right fist and punched it towards Daniel's face. He didn't care about anything now except taking revenge for his father who had been murdered by this Lycanthrope.Daniel didn't move as he allowed the punch to hit his face, blood spraying out of his mouth. He staggered backwards several times before stopping. Inasmuch he had been filled with guilt about killing Mr. Eden he couldn't help but feel shocked at the kind of strength Jackson displayed. How the hell was he able to punch him without cracking all his knuckles at least? He wasn't even supposed to stagger backwards or feel any pain!This isn't the ability of a Impersonal, Smith immediately turned vigilant as his blue eyes narrowed. Although Doppelgangers really showed powerful abilities in higher Cursed Paths, they weren't know for ha
That noon Daniel sat in the sitting room, his eyes glued on the television. There was a news currently showing and the headlines read: School Principal and Ten Students vanish Without Trace."...they were on an excursion to a haunted house and ten were captured by Miss Pinmaker who has been confirmed to be a human trafficker. Only five students managed to escape and were rescued by the cops," the female newscaster said."Interesting," Daniel said as he patted Caroline. "The Police sure knows how to handle things, adjusting the details. So this is how they've been doing for decades now."Caroline raised her head to look at Daniel before purring in complaint. Daniel had to stop patting her and allow her to watch the news in peace."The parents of the students are so aggrieved and demand that the 'wicked' school be shut down. The teachers and students are placed in a vulnerable state as the best school in the city is about to be shut down," the female newscaster continued as she brushed
The next day was Wednesday and Daniel was up very early in the morning to log in facebook around 5:30am. The last time he connected with his friends on Curious Mythologists group chat was on Monday when he was going for the excursion.The day was still dark and the atmosphere cold and damp. Cold wind slapped gently against the glass window from the outside, causing the surface to be wetted."Meow," Caroline complained as she sank deep into the bedspread, leaving Daniel who was seated on the bed. A large bulge appeared in the bedspread, causing Daniel to shiver involuntarily."Why is she so big?" Daniel thought as he sent the first message. Only Crimson Moon and Crying God were active."Hi, big guy!" Crying God typed. "You survived!🐈"Daniel had told them about the strangeness of the excursion earlier and had asked for their advices on how to tackle the matter. He would have updated them with everything that happened but there had been no reception at the haunted house."It's a miracl
