Lucas Part 13
Time is running fast. How many hours I've been doing this search without any results? Only the sky that looks dark indicates how long I've been doing this search. My stomach feels twisted because I'm too hungry, but I ignore it. Since waking up earlier, I haven't put food into my poor stomach. Sean must feel the same because he hasn't eaten anything since this morning, just like me.
The sky was getting darker, which made this Mansion so dark. I tried to turn on the light, but the ghost was acting up again. I'm sure this must be the work of that cursed ghost. All the lights in this Mansion are off, making this Mansion pitch black without any lighting.
I finally decided to take my cell phone to my room. The dark atmosphere, plus how wide this Mansion is, makes the atmosphere feel even more gloomy and creepy.
I limped to my room, and not infrequently. My feet tripped over objects that I could not see where they were.
When I finally got to my room, I immediately took my cell phone and turned on the flashlight app to illuminate my surroundings. Like Carl and Sean, I don't get any network on my handphone.
"Aaah!" I shouted when suddenly there was a loud sound of thunder. I can hear the sound of raindrops dripping from the sky clearly from my open window. I don't know who opened the window because I never opened it as far as I can remember.
The rain was getting heavier, and the lightning was constantly shouting at each other, adding to the eerieness in this Mansion. After feeling like I had found nothing in my search, I decided to see Sean and Carl. Of course, before going to the ground floor, I checked Muggie's condition first.
As soon as I arrived at Muggie's room, I saw that she was sleeping, and it seemed that thunder and heavy rain didn't disturb her. After ensuring Muggie was okay, I continued my initial intention to meet Sean and Carl on the ground floor.
My footsteps stopped when, without realizing it, I was standing in front of Leyna's room. These two legs of mine somehow brought me here? I should have taken another path instead of passing through this room. The state of Leyna's room door was closed, and I tried to put my ear on the door. I want to confirm what the ghost is doing now.
Silence. No sound that was heard made me curious, and finally, I dared myself to open the door.
I directed the light from my cell phone towards the bed and how relieved I was when I saw Leyna still in a prone position with her eyes closed. I direct the light around the room and cringe when I see something. I saw a painting of a beautiful woman displayed beautifully on the wall of this room. I the image of this woman that I did not see in any other room besides this one. A thought crossed my mind.
That ghost, even though I don't know who he is, one thing I know is he's a man. Remembering that he possessed Leyna, who occupied this room, I think the ghost had something to do with this room's former owner. And the beautiful woman in the painting, somehow, I feel like she was the one who used to occupy this room.
With slow steps for fear of waking the ghost, I walked over to a table near the bed.
I glanced at the ghost, ensuring it was still in the same position. When I was sure the spirit was still asleep, I opened some desk drawers. There were lots of papers in the drawer. I even found some black-and-white photos.
"Aaah!"
I screamed when I felt someone pounce on me from behind. I fell and lay on the floor. I feel heavy in my stomach. I direct the light of my cell phone toward whatever is pressing on my stomach.
"Aaah!"
I shouted again when I saw Leyna's figure still possessed by the ghost pressing down on me. She was sitting on my stomach. I struggled to get rid of her, but her body felt heavy. I can't even move at all.
The ghost brought his face closer to mine. Then he licked my neck, making me shiver instantly. I felt unbearable pain in my head from being this close to the ghost.
"Aaah!!!"
I screamed in panic and hysterics when I felt immeasurable pain in my neck. Leyna, no, I would rather say the ghost bit my neck. He tore the skin from my neck so I could smell the rancid smell of my blood.
"Sean, Carl, help me!!!"
The ghost burst into laughter when it heard my scream.
"Aren't you strong? You've often encountered ghosts like me. Why are you scared? You shouldn't be afraid anymore." A man's voice sounded again. The ghost was taunting me. I knew it.
"Let me go!!"
"Calm down, I will make you my final prey. You will enjoy watching your friends die. Then you will beg me for your death because you cannot bear to see your friends suffering. I will kill you slowly. None of you will escape from me, hahaha," repeated the ghost with his sinister grin. Suddenly, I cried because I was so scared right now and because of the unbearable pain in my head, especially the wound on my neck.
"Leslie!!" I heard Sean scream my name. Then I was so relieved when I saw Sean and Carl trying to get the ghost away from me. Although the spirit finally escaped me with great difficulty, Sean and Carl managed to hold it. I immediately got up and ran towards the bedroom door. Gasping with pain, I directed the light of my cell phone on Sean and Carl, who were still struggling to hold back the ghost who was constantly working.
"Tie him up!!" I asked Sean and Carl to tie up the ghost so he would stop rebelling.
"Carl, tie him up in a blanket." Carl followed Sean's words. He let go of Leyna's body and rushed to get the blanket. However, a strong wind blew in this room, flying Carl's body so hard it hit the wall. Meanwhile, Sean's condition was no less pathetic than Carl's. The ghost managed to escape from Sean's grip and turned to lock Sean's body. Like the spirit did to me earlier, the ghost does the same thing to Sean. He was sitting on Sean's stomach.
"Leslie, quickly get out of this Mansion. You have to ask for help!!" Sean shouted at me. But I know that ghost can't let me leave this Mansion.
"I can't leave here. What if he attacks again and hurts you?"
"Leslie, you are strong. I believe that you also have abilities, unlike us weaklings. You can face this ghost, Leslie. You can beat it. Don't hesitate anymore, get out of here quickly!!" Sean shouted, trying to convince me.
The ghost's gaze was now fixed on me. What Sean said is true. I have to ask for help. No matter what kind of attack the ghoul launches, I must fight it. I won't let that ghost beat me and hurt my friends. I will get out of this Mansion no matter what.
