Chapter 10

Angelina was in a dimmed room‚ lying on her bed. Her room door slowly creaked open and she heard some footsteps walk in. It slowly slid its hand under her duvet from the bottom of her bed‚ and wrapped its cold hand on her ankle. Forcefully‚ it dragged her out of bed.

Angelina rose up to the sound of a strange music‚ made with whispering voices‚ shrieking violins‚ frighten screams belonging to children especially‚ and unrelenting synth beats.

Angelina’s eyes searched the room for what might have pulled her out of bed‚ but realised she was all alone.

Angelina was scared at the moment but what made the situation worse were the children and few young adults all dressed in white walking pass her room‚ in groups heading the same direction‚ which was forward. They appeared to be dead; their skin was pale and they had unhealthy hair.

A little girl stopped and faced Angelina. She looked like she was between 5 to 7 years old‚ and she had a stuffed bunny in her hand. Dark rings surrounded her eyes‚ and her mouth seemed to be sown shut.

It walked up to Angelina‚ holding her hand out for Angelina to grasp. Angelina placed her hand in its hand and followed it to where ever it was leading her.

They arrived at a room‚ a room filled with more dead children‚ all chanting strange words without moving their mouths. They were all dressed like the little girl and also had their mouth sown shut.

What a strange paranormal activity.

The room turned dead silent immediately and they all fixed their eyes on Angelina. One of them approached and just stood there staring at her like she was somewhat a new kind of creature.

“Hi” Angelina said awkwardly

It looked at the dead girl standing next to Angelina and returned to its former position. The music and chanting resumed and it only seemed to be louder than before.

The room began spinning and Angelina felt dizzy. She tried to maintain a standing posture but fell to the ground‚ and lost consciousness instantly.

Angelina woke up in the same room‚ no sign of the dead children anywhere. But yet she still searched the room because she felt someone or something in there with her. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly‚ as if she wanted to punch what was in there with her the moment it tries to jump scare her.

“Hello?” Angelina’s voice quivered. “I know someone is in here‚ please show yourself”

Slowly‚ James emerged before her. The sight of him made her breathless. He was absolutely terrifying.

James took a step backwards‚ and studied her for some time. She had a different aroma and he swore she was under a protection.

“What do you want?” she asked‚ but still he gave her no reply.

“Are you really my father?” technically she knew who he was but she still wanted to ask.

“Why won’t you answer me?” She asked annoyed but still afraid

He took a step forward and crouched to her level‚ it seemed the protection she had on didn’t work since he could still draw himself closer to her ‚ but Angelina was too scared to notice.

James made attempt to touch her and she squeaked in terror. She shut her eyes tightly and prayed for him to just disappear.

“3DAYS” was all he said.

When Angelina opened her eyes‚ she was in her bed again and he was gone.

The morning sun lighted up her room. Angelina let out a breath of relief‚ “It was just another dream”

Sitting up she found Mark and Jeff still in sleeping.

“Jeff” Angelina called‚ rocking him slowly “Its morning”

Slowly his eyes fluttered open‚ he rubbed them immediately before looking at her.

“Morning” he said with a smile

Turning to Mark who was still sleeping‚ “Wake up” Jeff said‚ tapping him on his arm

“It’s weekend‚ I want to sleep in” Mark said burying his head in his pillow.

Angelina grabbed Jeff’s pillow and began to hit Mark. “Wake up Mark” She said while hitting him.

“I’m up‚ I’m up” raising his arms to defend himself. “Geez….” He said while rubbing his eyes.

Her parents who were already up knocked on the door before walking in.

“Good morning” they both said with a smile on their faces.

Smiling back‚ “good morning” Angelina and her friends replied.

Jeff and Mark excused themselves so Angelina could have her bath and get dressed.

In 30minutes‚ Angelina came out of her room to go have breakfast with her parents and friends. She was still weak but had enough strength to walk.
