He heard the noice from the door as it opens and he immediately opened his eyes and what he saw shocked the hell out of him.
"Who are you?". He asked the strange figure that stood right after his door.
It was like a shadow and he couldn't figure out what exactly it was because of its bluntness.
"Who are you?". He asked again but still he got no response. Fear gripped him and he instantly began to regret why he had to perform the trick.
He got up from his bed and walked slowly to the door. He held it by the handle.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared". He said to himself and he immediately opened the door widely with full force and to his surprise nothing was there.
"Mom". He called gently as if he was trying to know whether if she was the one that he saw earlier.
He looked around his entire room. He left the door in a jiffy, went straight to his bed where he had kept the items he used in performing the magic trick and scattered it all over.
"What was i thinking". He said to himself as soon as he remembered what his mom had told him earlier regarding that evil magic.
After thinking for a while in between fear, he sat down gently on his bed and brought out his writing materials and wrote on its first page.
"And today, I disobeyed my mother and performed some dark magic with some incantations…, let's see how it goes". He closed the book as soon as he was done with the writing.
He laid down on his bed and to sleep but was still afraid to even close his eyes.
"What just happened". He asked himself
He was certain that he saw a shadow that too with a human figure right after his door. The thought of closing his eyes while the shadow lingers on around him was unbearable.
He immediately got up from his bed, wore his coat and went downstairs. He got to his mother's bedroom and was surprised to see it locked.
Dang! dang!
He knocked at his mother's bedroom.
"Who is it?, go back to sleep, you are disturbing me". Amelia said to Mike who was knocking at her door.
"Please open up, I need to confirm something, its urgent". He said with desperation in his voice.
After a while, Amelia opened the door to her room.
"What is it, don't tell me you are still afraid of being alone". Amelia asked ridiculously.
"No, that's not the case. I just wanted to know if you came to my room a while ago". Mike asked.
"You should be asleep by now and why would I come to your room?". Amelia asked with her sleepy eyes.
"Nothing, I thought I saw you there". Mike said with a calm tone as he made his way to leave.
"You better man up and be in charge, otherwise it won't be good for us either, anyways goodnight". Amelia said to Mike and locked her door immediately without bothering to hear any more words from him.
Mike Stood transfixed as he ponders in what next to do. He didn't want to tell his mom about the trick he performed and the outcome because of her warnings earlier. He didn't want to bother her and he decided to face it himself. But he still feels guilty if not heeding to his mother's advice.
"Come on, I did it because I wanted to know, so no need to be afraid". He assured himself. He went upstairs to his room and opened the door gently as if he was expecting to see something.
To his expectation, nothing was there.
He removed his coat and went straight to his bed and laid down prostrate on it.
After thinking for a while, he fell asleep not long after he laid down on his bed.
"Hello, is anyone around?". Mike asked as he found himself on a strange enviroment.
"Help me, Help me!". He heard the voice of a woman crying beside him, he turned around and was surprised to see a woman who was being severely beaten by her husband.
He saw the woman and instantly recognised her as his neighbor.
"I will kill you, you are mad, how dare you cheat on me!!". Came the voice of her husband as he shouted on his wife whom he held tightly by the arm.
The whole place was like a desert. It had only the woman and her husband together with Mike in the vast land. It was twilight and the whole place was so cold.
Mike kept looking around the entire place but he couldn't figure out anything.
"Let me go!!" Shouted the woman again to her husband and this time attracting Mike's attention towards them.
"Let her go!". Mike shouted at the strange couple but they ignored him totally. It was as if he wasn't existing to them.
"I said stop!". Mike shouted again but they ignored him again. He became irritated and proceeded to where they are instantly.
To his surprise, when he got there he saw only the woman but couldn't find her husband.
She buried her face with her palm and kept sobbing, Mike felt helpless and had no other option than to console her.
"Its okay, stop crying". He said and tapped her by the shoulder.
Immediately he tapped her by the shoulder, she raised her face up instantly.
Mike was frightened by the look of her face. She was obviously dead and Mike was frightened.
"You always like consoling people who are distressed but you have never consoled your mother". Said the mysterious dead woman to Mike.
"But still you choose to console me". She said and began to come closer to him with her scary, skeletonlike face.
"Help!!!"
Mike shouted and jolted out of his sleep. It was a dream.
He sat down for a while and began to think about the weird dream message.
He immediately went downstairs to his mothers room but was surprised to find her lying lifeless on the bed.
