SCARVILLE- EVIL HAS NO LIMIT (HORROR)

Chapter 7- Puzzled unto the darkness 2

Suddenly Eric is drawn back by an unseen force appearing before a cemetery gate with the all-sky dark with twinkling stars and a moon. Everyone was starting to look like a hallucination, as he stared at the gate.

The gate opens by itself, and Eric walks inside looking at the gravestones and the names carved on the tombstone. Then he noticed a leaf blown unto a tombstone.

He picks it up and reads the name on it ‘Sandra’

His heart starts beating faster because the name Sandra meant something very important to him. But he doesn’t want to let anyone know that it means anything.

Suddenly he looks back to see a figure dressed in white cloth with her eyes gone and blood spilled across her swollen tummy. She reaches her hands out towards him and smiles showing the same bloody teeth she always did before. Her lips move while she speaks with an angry tone.

“You told me you will be with me forever,” She asks him, “You need to stay here,” she points towards a grave next to hers

Eric turns around, noticing all of his friends laying on their graves, crying and screaming in pain.

“No! No! Please, I don't want to die.” He screams in fear as he runs but he was fallen by a stone to the ground. Suddenly a hand emerged from the ground holding unto his collar.

“You have disappointed me,” a deep voice said in an evil tone, “You promised me a life full of love and happiness but you betrayed me”

A sharp pain suddenly hits Eric in his stomach causing him to scream. His vision started to blur, and he felt like passing out.

Meanwhile, inside a room, people could be seen all praying quietly, Devian could be seen among them as he watches through the locked window outside of the dark town.

“Remember the guy we need to stick together to survive, anything that happens let everyone know” Devian instructs the whole crew, in a low tone.

“And I assure you together we can do it"

A chorus of murmurs replies to him, each person agreeing with him. Soon the prayers quieted down.

Then a loud footstep was heard which shook the silent town, “It's here ” Devian says while peeping out to see. a figure 15ft tall, having the head of a goat and a naked body of a human. With chains dangling by the elbows and knees. A thorn crown is placed into its eyes allowing worms to crawl on the eyes and mouth.

The creature raises its head and screams and growls at the town gate, it starts to walk on the street with its long trident which had a human spinal cord designed around the handle.

It starts to walk on the only street sniffing repeatedly the air and looking at every house in the town, searching for something, anyone.

Then its eyes land on the hotel. Devian felt the creature already sighted him “Oh shit" he hides away from the window. Everyone went low on their feet, while the creature peeps through the window, looking right at them.

Everyone held their breath in fear. The creature looks at the hotel and walks closer to it. All of them can feel their heart pounding faster inside their chests.

The creature sniffed the air for a moment before turning around to leave.

I guess we're done for tonight...everyone thought while sighing in relief, not daring to breathe again. The monster was far enough from them.

“Everyone okay?” Devian asks the group.

“Yeah, I'm good," a few responded and some nodded.

“Me too," said one.

“Same here, I think.”

The crowd of survivors looked back out the window and noticed the monster disappearing in the distance.

In a moment of silence, they all could hear someone chanting a strange language.

Devian turned around quickly.

“Who is chanting?"

He sighted one of the survivors facing the door while banging its head repeatedly on the door.

“Dlmhr ni hrl job mo" the person kept chanting the strange name

over and over again.

“Why is this happening?" another member asked looking around.

They stood around waiting for a few minutes to see if any answer came.

Suddenly the elderly person turned to them with her eyes all turned black, her skin pale as she growled loudly. They instantly knew the lady had been possessed.

She jumped on a survivor close by, then clenched her teeth on his throat while biting it brutally. Blood flowed from his neck, making the other victims cry out as they watched helplessly.

The group ran towards the door to pull the old woman off of the survivor.

They tried to free him from her grasp, but the old woman kept growling in rage, refusing to allow anyone to get near.

They all fell to the ground when she jumped onto their shoulders. After that, they couldn't do anything. They screamed in terror and pain as the old woman continued tearing the survivor open with her teeth.

Devian looked aside to find a baseball bat nearby, he grabbed it and then smashes it on the old lady's head

knocking her out.

The group sighed heavily, relieved.

All of them sat up looking around, staring back at the old woman, who remained unconscious on top of one of their legs.

“Tie her down" he ordered the crew members, "We will deal with her later"

They got up and tied her to a wooden chair that was standing at the side. Then they all looked back at each other.

“Do you think it's over?”

“Nah, it's probably just started,” Devian says. “What does ‘-Dlmhr ni hrl job mo’ mean?”

Meanwhile****

“Dlmhr ni hrl job mo, Death is the only way, " Goldberg says to Sean who held him by the collar.

“How do you know of the language?” Sean asked him

“I just knew of it” he answered which causes him to be released by sean. “What does it mean by Death is the only way?”

Goldberg asks him again, curious about what he knows

Sean takes a step forward, closing the space between them, “You won’t tell if I don’t tell you?” he questions him

Goldberg keeps staring at Sean until he finally answers, “Yes”

“Just leave now" Goldberg leads while walking into a bottle of whiskey which he gulps down. “What do you wanna know?”

“The past, the truth about the orphanage,” Sean says, trying to avoid answering his question

Goldberg laughs “That’s what you wanna know?”

“Yes,” Sean says firmly

“Well, you already got your answers, kid,” Goldberg chuckles. “Look around. You saw everything you needed. Now go on your merry way”

Sean stares at his surroundings, “Why do I feel like you are trying to hide something from everyone?” he asks, suspiciously eyeing the old man

Goldberg shakes his head, “If I wanted to hide something I would’ve hidden it somewhere else”

Sean stares at him for a long time and then says, “Let me ask you something, how do you know the language I spoke to you?”

“Because I speak with them, I know what they want and are going to do. I have been to their world”

“How?”

“Being into the sports realm could drive any mortal crazy. So I advise you don't ask me about what stays there” Goldberg says

“How do I get to the spirit realm, show me the way,” Sean says with confidence.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Goldberg questions him.

“Yes I am,” Sean says

“Ok If you insist, follow me," Goldberg says as sean follows him out of the room into another compartment. They appeared in a room that looks like a bathroom. “There are two ways to get to the spirit realm, the first, by staying below the ocean until you lose consciousness and the second, is riskier. Getting to sleep in the graveyard of a deceased”

“Ok?” Sean replies confused.

“Get into the hot tub” Sean nodded to Goldberg before getting undressed and laying in the hot tub. He closes his eyes and tries to relax his muscles so he could fall asleep.

After a few minutes of relaxation, Sean opens his eyes again to stare at Goldberg. “What's the last option?" he asks curiously.

“The most dangerous way” Goldberg answers, watching his expression carefully.

Sean tilts his head, questioning. “I'm listening"

“Just try to die”

Sean doesn’t look amused. “You're kidding me right?”

“No, I'm afraid not,” Goldberg assures.

“More like you are committing suicide, or should I help,” he adds “Or are you scared?”

“Of course not! But I still have a choice?” Sean asks. “Is it safe? Is there even an afterlife?”

“You have no choice. You have to stay underwater for hours or you won't be able to enter the spirit world”

“Ok is there a way to help me?” Sean asked

“Yeah...I will gladly help" Goldberg says while grabbing Sean by the head and forcing his head into the water. Sean struggles to breathe. Goldberg puts him under the water and Sean is struggling to keep himself afloat.

After a few minutes, Sean feels his lungs start burning. He starts gasping desperately for oxygen, trying to keep himself awake. His eyes start to shut. He tries to take his last breath, but he can't anymore.

His face turns white, as death takes over him. He slowly loses his vision before blacking out completely.

The water becomes cold. It burns Sean's lungs and he starts choking, gasping for air, trying to regain his consciousness, yet he has no energy left to move. He feels himself slipping deeper into darkness, as his eyes close completely.

“Don't worry young lad, you are almost there ” a deep voice says to him.

And then nothing.

Suddenly sean rises out of the water trying to catch his breath, but he realizes he was in another world.

Everything was dark, under the night, and almost everywhere. He stands to his feet and walks out of the water, shivering due to the coldness of the temperature. The only sounds were the waves crashing against the shore in the distance, and his breathing.

The moon shone brightly above him.

He looked around and realized he was on land. He walked closer to the shore and took a seat, still shivering.

He looked at the sky and noticed how bright it was. He stared at the moon for a couple of seconds and then looked around once more.

Nothing was familiar.

He stood up and began walking in every direction trying to figure out where he was. There was nobody around except for the waves, and the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

He stopped to observe something.

Suddenly he sighted a little boy watching him from afar, “Hey” he called out after chasing after the boy who already vanished into the thin air.

“Hey!” he called louder. “Where did you go?” he asked in frustration.

Suddenly a shadow appears next to him and he felt a hand grab his shoulder, pulling him away from the shadow, but the shadow followed. It pulls harder until his body falls on the sand.

Suddenly he hears the voice coming from behind his ear, “You see this? You are the chosen one,”

He turns around and stares to see he was at the entrance of scarville He enters the deserted town slowly, this was different from the one he saw, this scarville is darker, empty, peaceful, and quiet.

Suddenly Sean could hear whispers coming from somewhere, and they sounded like screams.

It was eerie how silent the place was, yet it was also creepy.

He looked behind him to see the shadow had disappeared, leaving him alone and scared.

“Come here,” the whisper said in his ear again and suddenly he sees a light appear.

“What is this?” he questioned as he slowly walks towards the light. It gets brighter and brighter until he could make out what it was. A huge door with letters carved on it, “Welcome”.

He opened the door and saw a hallway.

He followed the corridor inside, noticing many doors, some with symbols engraved on them, and some with no words whatsoever, but still, he continued to walk forward.

As he reaches the end of the hallway he heard voices, he stopped and listened.

“I told you he won’t come!” a male voice exclaimed. “We need to go now”

“No! Don’t you see? He’s still here” a female voice yells angrily. “Now we just need to convince him. We need to kill him to save ourselves”

“NO! We will not kill him,” a male voice interrupts.

Sean enters to see an imbecile child sitting in a wheelchair facing the wall. But he realized he was talking to himself.

“Hello boy” I whispered to him in German. The boy turned around quickly and Sean could see a large, ugly scar on his face. The boy looks terrified and his eyes were wide open. He tried to scream but couldn’t, so he started shaking violently. Sean approached him and grabbed his shoulders “I'm sorry if I frightened you. You were saying?” Sean asked quietly

The boy didn't reply. Instead, he just stared at him, terrified, trying to find something to say.

The boy finally speaks “You are the chosen one,” He said, with a trembling mouth.

“What do you mean?” Sean asked the little boy.

“Through you, they will cause destruction and exact revenge "

“Who is 'they'?" Sean asks

“The evil ones,”

“Evil?” the boy points to the mirror placed far away from him.

Sean looks at the mirror to see his reflection, surrounded by children with pale skin and black eyes. They were all looking right at him all dressed in black attire and most of their bodies have burnt scars

covering them. “What happened to them?” Sean asked the boy.

The boy shook his head “They are cursed, they're dead because of man's greed, and now they want revenge on everyone in scarville”

“Why can't they just let everything go, scarville already has paid for whatever they did," Sean says as he notices a strange symbol painted on one of the walls, “and why do they have to destroy all life in scarville,” he asks the boy as he notices a large number of people being ripped to shreds by creatures that don't seem real.

“Because their sins must not leave them,” the boy says. “Because they are cursed to live forever” the boy explain

ned

“They are creatures born from Karma, created for only one purpose which is for revenge...” the boy replied

“what do you mean?”Swan questions.

“They made a deal with Arioch, so it's too late,” the boy says.

suddenly a loud growl could be heard coming towards the door, “I thought we were alone” Sean says looking back and forth to see the children had vanished including the boy he was speaking to. He was left alone, he breathed looking to his side and running to hide inside a cabinet. Only to see the dollar opened by a figure whose footstep shook the whole building. Followed by a growl

, a flash, and a roar.

A huge creature appeared in front of Sean, standing at least 20 feet tall, with massive wings and glowing red eyes. It was covered with blood and its claws were dripping crimson ichor. Its face was grotesque and hideous, with a pair of horns protruding from the top of its skull. With two long fangs that dripped with saliva, it was ready to tear down everything in sight. Sean backed away from the monster with each step he took, fearing it would devour him whole. He wanted to run, but suddenly the cabinet he was hiding in opened.

The monster looked inside the cabinet and then roared in anger

Sean rushed out of the cabinet running to safety away from the creature. But he couldn't find an exit, only windows. He looks backward to hear the howl of the creature. He ran faster than usual.

Finally, he found his way out of the window, and he ran across the field and into the forest. After sprinting for several minutes, he finds a clearing. He stops for a moment to catch his breath

. He looks back to see the creature following him. He runs faster, but it catches up with him. Suddenly a hand grabs him and yanks him away, throwing him aside. The creature picks him up and throws him through a few trees.

its red eyes glared into Sean's soul, making him freeze.

It was now approaching him slowly while he struggled against the grip. Its giant hands reach his neck making him gasp for air.

“Hall vgmwlrepp irmbbandd open milk

” The monster said with a sinister smile.

The monster raised its hand and struck Sean in the chest causing him to fall backward onto the ground. He coughs as he tries desperately to breathe. The creature approaches him slowly with each step. Sean starts panicking as he crawls backward. Suddenly the beast stops inches away from him, staring at him intensely. Sean's heart was beating faster and he could barely breathe.

Suddenly the beast raises its arm, and the claws of the monster sink deeply into Sean's body.

Suddenly a hand pulls away from the water, and he finds himself back at the hot tub. Goldberg looked at sean while sean's body had a large claw scar right on Sean's chest.

“You would have died if I didn't bring you back to the surface,” he said while pouring whiskey on my body. “Here it will help you drive the scent away from you”

“What scent?” sean said almost shiver g from the coldness.

Suddenly the whole light in the house died off, as the mighty wind rushed in. Sending a large table lifted by an unseen force and then thrown toward Sean and Goldberg. The table hit Goldberg hard sending him flying to the opposite side of the room. Sean jumped back before he fell. He looked over to find Goldberg holding his leg. He screamed as he felt something digging into his flesh. He looked down to see a large hole in the middle of his thigh.

Suddenly another gust of wind blew the table away from Goldberg.

“Run!” Goldberg yelled at sean he stood up and limped to the door.

“Go, go!” he ordered
