It was the 30th October- the day before Halloween. Outside was a dark and stormy night. Lightnings were lightning up the black sky, while thunderbolts were echoing through the empty and abandoned town. Inside the house the lights were blinking uncontrollably. That's why they were turned off.
I was lying on the couch with my laptop. Dressed in my red and black pajamas, eating Chinese food and watching scary videos and movies to get the Halloween mood.
I got up to get some Lemon soda from the fridge, on my way back to the couch I locked the front door. I got back, got comfy on the couch and tucked myself with my soft and fluffy blanket. After eating and drinking the can of Lemon soda, I continued watching PewDiePie playing The Grudge. I started to get sleepy.
After 15 minutes, the train to dreamland took me away. I had a dream about having a Halloween party with friends,which I was invited to, the next day. But that dream was interrupted.
I heard a loud noise coming from the bathroom. I looked at the computer to see the time- it was 3:33 am, 31st October- Halloween. There was still a thunderstorm outside. I got my phone, turned on my camera flash to use it as a flashlight, and went to see what the noise was. I turned on the light and opened the bathroom door. The first thing that I saw was that the mirror was broken, shattered as is someone had shot it with a gun. Broken to salt, my mind said to me to leave it for the morning. I turned back, went out of the bathroom, closed the door behind be and turned off the light.
After waking up completely, I decided to put the food in the fridge, to avoid spoiling it. When I got to the couch, the laptop was lit. There was an opened text document that was titled "WARNING!" and inside the file it was written "run far away and save yourself!". The only thoughts in my mind were that my friends were playing tricks on me,so I shut down the computer.
The exact moment the fans stopped and the laptop became silent, something happened in the kitchen. The sound of falling knives on the ceramic floor resonated through the deafening silence in the house.
Feeling creeped out, I headed towards the kitchen. Turning on the lights I saw my cutting knife on the floor covered in red liquid-it was blood. So was the the cutting board.
My heart started to race. I went to the cutting board to take a closer look at it. I felt presence in the room. My peripheral vision caught a reflection on the metal wall. It was of a ghost, a phantom. After looking at it for a few seconds I recognized her-it was Bloody Mary's ghost.
The first thing that came to my mind was the game that is played on this day. You turn off the lights in the bathroom, get it and close the door. Saying “Bloody Mary” three times should summon her and you are supposed to see her in the mirror.
After remembering the game, I visually examined the ghost. Mary looked the same as people describe her in the myths and legends. She was pale as the cleanest and whitest snow during the winter, but paler. Under her big angry eyes,there were bloody tears. She was dressed in in a white dress,or at least it had been white. It was covered in blood, probably from her victims. In Mary's hand there was a lit candle.
The girl left her candle on the table it the center of the room. Scared to death, I dropped the food on the floor.
The more I blinked, the more her reflection was getting bigger and closer to me. At a moment I felt something on my shoulder. It was a hand. Mary's hand-cold and covered in blood.
My heart was going to explode, I couldn't breathe. My thoughts were “This is it. I'm going to die.”. Everything was silent...I couldn't see. Liquid was trickling down my face. In my mouth I tasted blood. But still, nothing could be heard, except the thunder from the storm. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't scream.
In a split second everything ended- I didn't taste blood, I didn't feel pain, I didn't feel anything. I just saw my lifeless body falling, tumbling down over the bloody knife on the floor, covered in dark red blood.
