Cursed Painting

Chapter 12

Alyssa was again horrified to see the statue sitting inside the cabinet again. "Why does Sir have that, it's scary!"

"Alyssa helps us, have mercy on us," they begged her.

She looked at Sofia's face. She was sad and her eyes were blurred with tears.

"What do you mean? How can I help you?" she asked them but they did not say a word.

Sofia just handed her the three paintings. At first, she was hesitant to accept the held by Sofia. Alyssa was nervous that the artist might catch up with them and get caught tampering with the paintings.

Alyssa took a deep breath before accepting the painting Sofia was holding, then she suddenly disappeared from her sight. She was surprised when Sofia disappeared in front of her, she could not speak.

"Sofia?"

For a moment Alyssa seemed to feel the surroundings spinning. She felt dizzy so she held on tightly to the painting.

Alyssa sat on the floor while holding the paintings tightly, she closed her eyes to suppress the dizziness she was feeling. Alyssa covered her mouth when she felt like she was going to vomit.

"Alyssa," she heard someone call her name.

Alyssa felt the surroundings, she thought it was back to normal. She stood up and looked around. Alyssa noticed that she seemed to be no longer inside the artist's room.

"Where am I?" confused, she looked around again. The place was unfamiliar to her, she also didn't see any houses or cars.

She saw a tree full of fruit. She did not know the tree and even the fruit. It was her first time had just seen that kind of tree.

"Alyssa," someone called her name again.

"Is that you Sofia?" she shouted asking the owner of the voice. She walks around following the voice calling her name.

In the distance, Alyssa saw a woman sitting on the grass surrounded by flowers. The woman's dress is red and she is also wearing a red hat with a yellow large ribbon on the back. She stepped closer to the woman.

"Help us, Alyssa. I've been in this place for two days and I don't want to stay here any longer, this place is quiet and I'm sad," the woman said and burst into tears. The woman's voice was familiar to her.

"Sofia, is that you?" Alyssa just wanted to be sure.

"We need your help, Alyssa."

Alyssa gently touched the woman's shoulder. "What's going on, I'm confused. Earlier we were in Sir's room, but now we're in a place unfamiliar to me."

The woman turned her head to Alyssa. Alyssa saw Sofia's teary eyes. Sofia screamed so loudly that she backed away in shock.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Sofia screamed again and suddenly disappeared from Alyssa's sight. In fear, she suddenly ran away from that place.

Alyssa was confused by what was happening, especially with Sofia, she was always crying, and then she suddenly disappeared from her sight.

"Alyssa!" it's a man's voice.

Alyssa stopped running when she heard another voice calling her name.

"Miguel," she whispered to herself. She recognized the voice. "Where are you?"

"I'm here Alyssa,"

She followed Miguel's voice. She saw two couples who seemed to be dancing with a Tango.

"Miguel," Miguel was the man she saw dancing. He dances with a woman who looks like a mannequin. She approached them.

"Alyssa, help me. I've been dancing for two whole days and I'm so tired, I want to rest but I can't. Alyssa have mercy on us, only you can help us," Miguel pleaded with her.

Alyssa saw that Miguel was very tired from dancing. She tried to give him one of her arms but the mannequin's arm held her hand.

The mannequin's eyes were red and glaring at Alyssa.

"Aaaahhh!!! Alyssa screamed in fear. "What am I going to do, Miguel?" She was afraid of the mannequin because it was alive.

"The answer to your questions is in the mansion Alyssa," Miguel replied. She saw him crying. And it was like smoke that he disappeared from her sight.

Alyssa sat on a large rock she saw, she was confused by what was happening. She would try to rest to be able to think clearly. She could not forget what Miguel said.

"The mansion has the answer to all your questions," repeatedly shouting in her mind.

"Alyssa," she heard a low voice. She suddenly looked behind her but she didn't see anything.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Alyssa," called her name again. It was like a whisper.

"My goodness!" Alyssa said in shock, when she turned her head she saw Daisy's face very close to her. Daisy pulled her right hand.

"Help us, Alyssa," Daisy said and started dancing. Her costume is like a ballerina.

Daisy was beautiful in what she was wearing. She was dancing while holding one of Alyssa's hands which she was also dancing with. She didn't know how to dance but at that time she was with Daisy's every move.

"What place is this Daisy?" Alyssa asked her.

"I don't know, when I wake up I'm already here." It's a sad answer. "We need your help. I don't want to be imprisoned forever in this place." She added and sobbed.

"Let's rest I'm getting tired," Alyssa complained as her legs were as numb. She tried to stop Daisy from dancing but she just shook her head, her eyes blurred with tears.

"I'm so tired Alyssa." she said and lowered her face while still dancing.

Surprisingly, she looked at Daisy's feet, which were already covered in wounds and blood. Alyssa sat up using her knees, she's worried about Daisy. She wanted to wipe Daisy's b****y feet. But she heard a scream from her.

"Aaaaaaah!" Daisy screamed.

Alyssa saw that Daisy wanted to try to reach out her arm but it was completely absorbed by some force that she could not see.

"Daisyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Alyssa shouted as she disappeared from her sight.

MAGGIE woke up because she heard her friend moaning.

"Hmmm, Daisy...." Alyssa growled as her forehead sweated.

Maggie immediately sat up in bed. She gently shook Alyssa's shoulder which she thought was having a bad dream.
