Be very Quiet

A new victim

After hearing the news of Violet's unusual death, Tinsley and the others went to a shaman to help them get rid of  Alice’s angry spirit.

“Will this really help us?” said Keisha. Who was more crept up by the things that surrounded them?

“You seem to have angered someone. That until her death, she carried that wrath with her. Have you been bullying others?” the shaman seemed to be staring directly at them. But the truth was, it was Alice’s spirit the shaman was looking at that time.

“What can we do to get rid of her?” asked Tinsley. It was obviously scared out of its wits.

They all know who the shaman was talking about.

“If it’s just a simple case of bullying, I might consider helping you out.” the shaman’s eyes roamed in Eulo’s direction. “But there is more to it than what you all know.”

“This is all bullshit.” Eulo instantly reacted. As if guilty of something. “ We are just wasting our time here, I’m going home.” Gigs and Rupert followed him like lackeys. Leaving Tinsley, Mar-jay, and Keisha behind still frightened.

The shaman continued to follow the spirit that’s been following the three guys since they’ve arrived.

“Can you help us?” asked Mar-jay this time.

“Even though you three aren’t the main cause for her demise. That doesn’t mean that you didn’t push her to commit suicide either. And for that, you should be responsible for your own Karma’s.” after saying that, the shaman just turned its back on them.

They went to other shamans after. But neither could nor would help them.

It’s either that the spirit’s rage is too much for them to handle. Or that they just didn’t want to get involved with its wrath.

It was late at night but Tinsley still couldn’t sleep at all. Ever since the shamans declined to help them.

They’ve been on the edge all the time. Afraid that Alice’s angry spirit would appear at to them. And end their lives in a gruesome manner as Violet did.

He was startled when his cellphone suddenly rang beside him.

It was Mar-jay. With the same jittery voice as his.

“What's wrong?” he asked. It seemed to be truly afraid that it could say a word. “Mar-jay, say something. You’re scaring me,”

That’s when he heard a long chilling breath on the other line and nothing more.

“Mar-jay? Mar-jay!” he tried calling louder, but there was no answer.  Terrified, he immediately ended the call and went to his sister’s room next to his.

It was sleeping soundly that it didn’t even move when he tried to wake her up. So, he decided to just lay beside her.

He tried shutting his eyes and sleeping. But as he did, there was that unexplained breathing in his ears again.

“Terry, Terry, wake up,” he tried waking her sister again. And this time, he was desperate to do so. Because the breathing suddenly turned to a frightening laugh that seems to come from the bottom of the earth itself.

He felt a sudden relief when he heard his sister’s low moaning.

“Don’t you hear anything?”

“There’s absolutely nothing,” it obviously still has its eyes shut at the moment.

“I swear I can hear something,” his sister then turned to face him. But when it did, A horrifying face greeted him instead. It was Alice showing him a sinister smile. Its face was a scene of a decomposing cadaver.

Karma woke up gasping again. It was another victim of the dark spirit.

“Did you have a vision again?”  he was more surprised when Cissy’s face greeted her upon waking up.

“Could you stop putting your face in front of me every time? Or do you plan to scare me to death?”

Cissy seemed apologetic. And gave her some space to sit on her bed.

“She had another victim, but I have no idea who it is.”

“Maybe you should ask your teacher on who she might have a grudge on?” Cissy said giving her an idea.

Cissy’s probably right.

“Let’s go back there tomorrow.”

Cissy’s reaction was stating  “Me and my big mouth,” after that.

Mar-jay and  Keisha almost had a panic attack after hearing that Tinsley died in his sleep.  It looked as if it sleepwalked in its sister’s room and did not wake up after that.

It may be common for others to believe that such an occurrence is due to Tinsley's physique. That it might be brought about by a sudden heart attack while it was fast asleep. But as Tinsley's friends, they knew better to believe that it was actually the case. 

And that is why Mar-jay and Keisha went to Alice’s house to inform its mother of what might be the case of a haunting of Alice’s spirit with them.

Karma was on her way to meet with Mrs.Benz.  When she accidentally met the two outside peeking from the steel gate.

“It’s them,” Karma whispered to Cissy, who was the only one that could hear her words.

“You know them?” Cissy was a bit confused as to how she knew those people when it was actually the first time that they had seen them.

“They are the ones that haunt my dreams. They are responsible for that spirit's anger.”

“Oh?” Cissy’s eyes suddenly began to widen. As the dark spirit of someone stood close at the back of those two. “G-g-g-ghost!” Cissy shouted slightly turning its eyes away from the apparition. And even putting its hands on her face. As if its pale image wasn't scary enough.

The ghost then slightly turned its head to their side. With Karma's eyes fixed on that frightening image. The ghost posted a smile that could send chills down anyone’s spine.
