Soul Alive : Saga of the cursed tests

The Harper Brothers

- Aelum! How good it is to listen to you! - Said Sanctus very happy.

- Shut up. You two are a suicide couple. That is not a normal air current, it is a spiritual current. - Aelum said with a very angry tone of voice.

- We need her to get out of this horrible place. - Smith answered in a low voice.

- I overheard your conversation. I'm sure you know well what's at the end of that air stream, right? - Aelum asked.

- Y-Yes… - Smith answered with his gaze towards the floor.

- So, you ... were you trying to use me as bait from the beginning? - Sanctus asked a little dismayed.

- No San ... What happens is that for a day I have not felt that current of wind. The last time was when I reached the final gate. I have been carried away by the situation, I’m very sorry. - Smith answered.

- That spiritual current is a vulgar trap. you shouldn't die so stupid, especially you Sanctus. - Aelum said as he hit Sanctus and Smith on the head.

- Sorry, we'll be more careful. - Sanctus said while Aelum was hitting him.

Now with Aelum floating, both Sanctus and Smith were walking down the corridors where some doors were kept closed, but others remained open. Sometimes they were able to observe that there were stretchers, medicines and injectables lying on the floor, some rooms were just bathrooms in poor condition and aged with time.

The atmosphere was still slightly gloomy.

- Do you know what place this is? - Sanctus asked Smith as they walked.

- It really looks like a kind of hospital, but I have no idea. It could be anything really. - Smith answered.

- T-It's Greystone mental hospital. - Said a woman with a trembling voice that seemed to be close to them.

- that voice? Where did she come from? - Smith said as he looked around along with Sanctus and Aelum.

- I'm sorry if I scared you ... I was hiding in a room until I saw you pass near where I was and I was happy to see humans again. My name is Lucile. - Said Lucile, the young woman who had previously surprised everyone with her voice.

Lucile was wearing simple clothes. A white T-shirt, shorts, sneakers, round glasses and beautiful short pink hair that fell to her shoulders.

At first glance she seems to be a very shy girl.

- Good, another person who breathes! - Smith said very excited.

- Nice to meet you, Lucile. I’m San and he is Smith. How do you know the name of this place? - Asked Sanctus.

- There was an old brochure with the name of this place on the floor and then those beasts appeared wanting to eat me ... It was very scary. - Lucile answered in a low voice.

- So, you could see them too… What is your ability? - Asked Smith.

- E-Eh ... I can concentrate my spiritual power in the glasses to feel the approaching presences and evade them in time. So, I was able to get out of those two horrible beings alive. - Lucile said somewhat blushing.

- then we are dealing with two creatures. - Said Sanctus.

- Your ability will be very helpful to us. - Said Aelum.

- Did that floating book just talk? Lucile asked as he watched Aelum in the air.

- Well yeah… His name is Aelum and he's my guide book. - Sanctus answered pointing to Aelum.

- I'm glad to be in a group of people like me. I thought I would end up passing out from so much pressure. - Lucile said in a low and flushed voice.

- That hospital you mention is not in Peru. It is probably from North America. Does that mean they can transport us anywhere in the world? - Sanctus thought.

- I feel 3 presences approaching. Two of them are not human. - Lucile said somewhat agitated while her glasses began to light up.

- we have to hide, quickly. - Said Sanctus.

Everyone was able to quickly hide in one of the rooms.

Seconds later a man can be heard running and screaming because behind him were two unpleasant-looking beings.

- Hey hey. How much more do you think you can run? From what I see he still has a lot of energy left over. Right brother Tom- Said one of the creatures as he chased the man.

- Seeing it only makes me whet my appetite even more, brother Brian. - The other creature answered while chasing the man.

- I-I can't take it anymore ... I'm going to faint. I've run out of energy. - The man said as he gasped and threw himself to the ground.

- Did you think you could escape the powerful brothers Brian and Tom Harper? What a person for more credulous. - Brian Harper said.

The Haper brothers had a humanoid appearance, but their bodies were very pale and larger than those of a normal human. Tom Harper's appearance was that of a very large obese man, on the other hand, Brian Harper had a very malnourished appearance, very long hands and was even bigger than his brother. They both only wore ripped clothes.

- Did you hear the voices of those creatures? We have to save that man or they will assassinate him. - Said Sanctus getting ready to go out to help the man who had fainted from running so much.

- Shut up and avoid breathing, if possible, don't be an impulsive stupid. - Aelum said angrily as he covered Sanctus's face with his sheets.

Everyone began to hear the screams of the man as he was being eaten by Tom Harper.

-It gave me a bit of disgust to devour him. This man didn’t have any spiritual energy and he was too thin for my liking. - Tom Harper said as he wiped the blood from his mouth and spat a hand.

- What did you expect? We had been chasing that man for a long time. It is natural that he had no energy of any kind left. - Brian Harper replied as he laughed at his brother.

- But I'm still very hungry ... - Tom Harper said as he lamented and stepped on the corpse of the person who had been eaten.

- You are a glutton, there are already 6 people you eat counting this man. Although it could be more…” Brian Harper said as he turned in the direction of where Sanctus and the others were hiding.

- What's up brother? Could you feel the presence of more loose food out there? - Tom Harper asked a little more animated.

- That is right, brother. I think I can feel humans around…” Brian Harper said as he extended his hand with a wicked smile and his eyes lit up.

Mini Story:

Lucile: H-Hello everyone… My name is Lucile.

Everyone (Sanctus, Smith and Aelum): Hi Lucile!

Lucile: Today I am going to tell you about Greystone Hospital.

Author (Ren): Thank you Lucile! I think this information could be interesting for our readers.

Lucile: Greystone Hospital was a psychiatric hospital located in New Jersey, United States. The place was in operation from 1976 to 2003 and it also hides many chilling stories, as well as terrifying mysteries. I-Personally, I am very afraid of these types of places. I feel like I can't handle so much pressure ...

Aelum: Hey Sanctus, you should learn a little history too.

Sanctus: I could have said that too, but the author found it more interesting Lucile. (Looking angrily at Aelum)

Aelum: well, you’re right. She is much more attractive than you. Nothing beats the power of a cute girl when she is introduced to history. right? (Aelum blushed)

Author (Ren): In my defense, I only did it because she is a new character ...

Smith: Hey! Did you forget that I'm still here?
