THE EVIL’S CURSE
“What should we do with the body?” Martin asked.
“Just hide it in the store behind the kitchen. No one goes around there.” Jack replied.
“Do you know what happened to him? Should we call the police?”
“No stupid. If we call them, they’ll arrest us. We have organized this party. I think he was drunk and fell. I don’t know. It was just an accident. Now enjoy the party. Let’s go!”
“Okay. As you say”
The body was of a middle-aged man. His face looked blurry. There were many wounds on his body. The party was organized by Martin and Jack because Martin got a job promotion. Jack and Martin were brothers.
They were in a huge villa. It looked really stunning from the inside. A huge hall, sky-high ceiling, Amazing paintings hanging on walls, the positive aura, everything intensified the fun of the party. Most people at the party were Martin’s friends.

“Come on in,” the lady said to her friend. They were both invited to the party.
“Yes coming. Oh! this is a beautiful room, and so are you, Jasmine.” Oliver said.
“Oh! Thank you. Now don’t make me wait.”
After Oliver and Jasmine were in the room, the door locked itself automatically. Oliver tried to open it, but it didn’t.
“I think someone has locked us inside,” Oliver said.
“No problem. If we shout loud enough, someone will open it. But we don’t need to. First, let’s do what we came for”
Thud!
A sound echoed throughout the room
“It must be the music,” Jasmine said.
THUD!
This time it was louder. This time their bed vibrated too.
Someone was under the bed…
“Oh, God! Oliver someone’s under the bed.” Jasmine shivered.
Oliver was a bit scared too. He bent to look under the bed, but the thing which was under the bed snapped his head off his body. His head rolled across the floor.
Jasmine shrieked so loud that even miles distant people would hear her, but nobody came to help.
Then from under the bed came the smoke like evil. It was all smoke with unstructured head and hands. She could not see the evil’s legs. It was flying on smoke. The evil’s eyes were dripping blood and its face was literally looking like a skull. It hissed horribly and devoured Jasmine…. ***********
A man was walking by that room. The door was opened, and he saw the bodies of Jasmine and Oliver. He was freaked out. Without thinking anything he went into the hall and told everyone that Jasmine and Oliver were dead. First, everyone thought that the man was just drunk, so they looked for themselves inside the room. All of those people saw the bodies. A chill went down their spines. Nobody wanted to stay a minute in the villa.
They reached for the door, but they couldn’t open it. All of them tried together but still, the door didn’t open. They were losing hopes.
Then something happened. The evil flew down in the hall!
Everyone single person froze at their place. Martin and Jack looked at each other and they too stood frozen. The evil looked at all of them for some time. A lady tried to run from the hall. As she started to run, the evil flew over to her and fed on her. Literally, it ate her.
Then the look which came across the faces of everybody was terrorizing. It was totally frozen. Nobody moved an inch.
After some time Jack found the courage to speak up, “What do you want?”
The evil’s gaze went onto him. Its voice was so raspy. It was like a hoarse, scary whisper. When the evil spoke, everyone felt their skin tingle. It said, “ I want you all. 100 years ago I was a normal man, but due to the sins I did, some saints turned me into a weak soul to torment me. They cursed me to stay in this villa forever. Weak, hungry, and alone. I was broken. I couldn’t feel anything. I had no family because I even killed them before I was turned into evil. I tried a hundred times to break this curse, but I always failed. After years and years, I found out how to break the curse. When I will break this curse, I will become stronger than any person on this earth. I will become stronger than any beast. I will be the strongest. To break the curse I have to feed on or kill 30 people within a span of 2 hours in this villa. If I fail to kill a total of 30 people, I will become very weak and vulnerable. Even a kid could kill me then. I have failed 2 times now. Last time I killed 27 people in this villa. I was very near to breaking the curse, but somehow 3 people escaped. I have counted you all. And very luckily you are all 30!”
After saying all this, the evil blinked forward near Jack and tore him from top to bottom. Blood gushed everyone near him. Now havoc broke loose. Everyone was running and shrieking like hell. One, two, and like this the evil kept killing people. It even ate some.
Martin was lying near his brother’s body, crying. The evil flew over to him and without saying anything snapped his head off. No one was left in the hall. It was a mess of blood. Blood was everywhere. The positive aura of the place now turned into the evilest aura anyone could imagine. Now the evil was free. Now it could go out of the villa and have fun killing more people. Now no person could do anything to it. The evil finished its job before half hour.
But when the evil tried to go out, it couldn’t.
It hissed, “ Why!! Why can’t I go out? I did everything.”
The evil decided to count the bodies. There were 29 bodies!
“How?! This is not possible. I counted a total of 30.” The evil rasped again.
***********
The boy was just at the right place. He was in the kitchen’s storage door. He heard everything the evil said. He was not invited to the party, but he used to come to the villa regularly because that villa was where his parents died. At that moment he knew how they died. He was filled with rage and at the same time was very scared. He wanted to run. He knew the evil would find him and kill him. As he tried to move, a white glow appeared in front of him. It was his mother. “Hey, James. I know you are very scared but listen to me. The evil only has 30 minutes left. Just wait for the right opportunity. I know you’re just 12 years old, but I know and I trust that you can do this. Have faith in yourself.”
Before James could say anything she vanished away.
The evil was rasping out in the hall. He was constantly searching everywhere to find the boy. He only had 20 minutes left. The time went on and on but it could not find the boy. The evil was filled with such rage that the blood in his eyes turned black like ash, frozen. It really was very scary.
Only 10 minutes were left. The evil tried like hell to find the boy. James was at the peak of terror. It was the scariest day of his life. He couldn’t help but imagine the way the evil would kill him if it found him.
Only 1 minute was left. The evil entered the kitchen! Oh no. Very few chances of James surviving were there. Only 10 seconds were remaining.

The evil was rummaging through every door, every window.

It was really frustrated and was shivering.

If it didn’t kill the boy now, he could die forever.

And yes! The evil finally found the boy. But before it could do anything, James’s mother appeared again and radiated pure energy throughout the kitchen. The evil flew out of the kitchen.

And gone. He was vulnerable. James was shaking from top to bottom. He didn’t have the courage to kill the evil. He could not even look in those dark eyes smoking black ashes. His mother held his face in her hands and said, “ You can do this James. You just have to punch him really hard in the chest. After this moment you’ll never see me again. It was my last wish to help you.”
James started crying and hugged her really tightly. She vanished into thin air. James was filled with positive energy. He ran towards the evil and punched it with all his strength.
The evil blew into ashes in the air. Nothing was left of him. The evil came to an end. All the doors and windows opened again….. THE END…
