Chapter 11: The devil

Saturday, two o'clock in the afternoon.

The students were not in school that day. There is silence in the place and it is scary to look at the place when it is quiet. The place is so horrible especially in the part where the tree house and the large trees around it. There are no people in the area on Saturday. Those who pass by the school are horrified when they look around. Sometimes people passing by run out of fear. They heard noises coming from inside the school. Their whole bodies trembled by the presence of spirits that surround the school.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon. A group of students tried to enter the school. The gate was locked so they could not enter immediately.

"Guys, the gate is locked. How can we get in?" A girl said name Cara.

"Let's just go up." Another one said.

"Guys let's not go in. Let's get out of here." Said a man who was fainting.

"Stop right there. We'll just play." Another boy said.

The students still maintained their stubbornness and they climbed the school fence. One by one they climbed up and each jumped off the fence. They were four students at that time. Two are female and two are male.

"Come on guys." A boy said with eyeglasses named Lester.

They were playing catch -up during those hours. The place is very quiet and its silence is terrifying. The four students who had already played at the school did not believe the stories about the school especially the tree house. As the wind blows around it sweeps the dust around and even the fallen leaves. The four students are playing happily where in which part of the school they land. Until everyone felt tired.

"Guys wait ... let's rest first." Cara said wearing the red color who was gasping for breath as she ran.

"Yeah, let's rest for a moment." Carl said with a hat.

"Who carries water?" Asked the man in the hat.

"I'm carrying something." Said a woman with white and staight hair named Shane. She handed the mineral water to her fellow man who was wearing a hat. The man drank the water and thanked her and returned the mineral water to the girl with him.

" Ready to play again guys." Carl said who one of their companions who loves to play again.

"I'm here first, my foot suddenly hurts." Said a cowardly man.

"Come on guys, let's leave him." A man in a hat said.

"Let's go."  A girl in a bag said and the three was already running and a man was chasing the two women.

"Here we are, hurry." Cara said.

"All right, come on, let's hurry." Another gasp said. As they continued to run they did not notice that they had reached the tree house.

"Come on, we're up there." Said the gasp as she pointed to the hut at the tree house. They did not hesitate to go up. They still run up to the hut. The boy with a hat was looking for them because they had disappeared from the man's sight.

"Wait, aren't we forbidden to go up here." Cara identifies the tree house where they are.

"Do you believe that? It's not true that there is a spirit living there inside the hut so come and maybe he can see us." Shane said and she doesn't believe'd in spirits.

The two of them continued to climb into the hut. When they reached the top they went inside. Suddenly a strong wind blew and the door closed.

"Ahhhhhh ...!" The two girl shouted as the door of the hut closed.

"Let's get out of here." Trembling said of Cara.

"Let's stay here first." Shane said and not feeling the fear of those times.

They peeked through the hole of the hut and saw at the bottom of the tree house the man with them chasing them.

"Where could they go? Hayyss!" Disgusted  Carl said.

As they looked at the man black shadows appeared behind them and a shadow tall and horn -shaped on the side of its head.

Suddenly the area around the hut cooled to the touch of their smooth skin and the two women were held in their arms as they stroked it.

It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon at that time and it was about to get dark all around.

The two women felt scared when they felt like there was something behind them so they turned around at the same time.

Many more black shadows appeared around the hut and two female students could see it. Their eyes widened and their whole bodies trembled causing fear of seeing the horrible black shadows. There are also white shadows that are there but only a few. They were even more shocked when they saw a black shadow with a horn.

When the shadows approached them, Cara suddenly shouted and quickly opened the door so that she could get out of the hut.

"Ahhhhhh ....! Devil .... ahhhh .....!" Cara shouted as she quickly ran down the tree house.

The man with them saw her chasing them earlier.

"What happened?" Carl asked who was surprised by what happened.

"There's a devil..there's a devil in the hut." Cara said trembling and uneasy. Its lips trembled and were terrified.

The girl named Shane was left lying inside the hut.

Chasing the girl left in the hut due to extreme fear. She was pushed back by a black shadow with a horn slowly approaching her.

"No, no, please ....," the girl pleaded.

"Ahhhhhhh .........!" The woman left inside the hut shouted and her playmates heard it.

Moments later, the two saw their female playmate gasping. It shows the hut and slowly descends to the tree house. It was getting cold all around and it was starting to get dark because night was coming. The woman was quietly descending from the tree house hut as if nothing had happened. The two just watched the woman down the tree house until they approached her.

"What happened to you inside? Are you okay?" Carl asked to Shane.

But the woman did not answer and continued walking. Her two companions quietly followed her.

"Did you notice anything strange in her behavior?" Cara asked in the red dress.

"Yeah it looks like there's something different about how she's acting." Carl replied.

The two noticed the change in the behavior of their female playmate who was gasping. The three students walked quietly to where one of their male companions was waiting for them.

"Guys, your time has come. Where did you end up?" Lester asked waiting for them.

"Just there around."  Carl replied. They did not narrate what happened to the three of them so one of their companions did not know.

They left the area before nightfall. The girl who was left alone earlier in the tree house was still pale.

"Guys, let's hurry up and get out of here. It's scary in this place when night falls." Said the woman in the red dress.

"Wait, wait why does Shane seem so quiet?" Lester asked.

"We don't know Lester either." Said the man in the hat.

"Guys, it's getting dark so let's hurry." Cara said nervously as night fell.

They were running going to the gate and when they climbed the fence to get out, they heard a terrible noise from inside the school.

"Did you hear that?" Lester asked, feeling scared of those times.

"Yes, I heard it too. It sounds scary. Please let's get out of here." Cara said tearfully.

They are out of school. Shane, who was with them, was still silent during those moments.

"Come on, hurry. Don't pay any attention to that noise and maybe follow us." Carl said hurrying away.

Moments later they suddenly noticed Shane sitting quietly to one side. They are new to Shane because she is not behaving normally and the three are surprised because Shane is talkative to the four of them.

"Shane, are you okay?" Lester asked and he shouldered it. Lester didn't immediately let go of Shane's arms.

Shane looked at Lester.

"Yeah." Shane's economical answer.

 "Are you sure Shane? Because we noticed your quiet." Said Cara.

Shane didn't say a word. She looked straight ahead as she walked down the road.

The three murmured as their companion Shane walked ahead.

"She's really acting differently." Carl said with astonishment.

"Yeah, She's wierd. What are we going to do?" Cara asked nervously and worried Shane.

"We have nothing to do but observe her." Carl said.

"But guys, I don't think Shane is with us." Lester said that someone with them had a suspicion.

"Why do you say that?" Cara asked.

"You see how she acts and speaks, it's like she doesn't." Lester replied.

"So, she's still the one who are talkative." Carl said.

The three of them looked at Shane as suddenly the cold wind blew touching their skins giving them fear.

"It's cold." Cara said chilling with the cold air touching her skin.

Shane looked at them with a creepy smile. It was scary to look at Shane's face. The three saw the scary image on Shane's face and suddenly her face returned to normal.

"Did you see that, Shane's face." Cara said terrified.

"Yes, we saw." Carl and Lester said at once.

"Her face is scary." Cara said.

They were still walking on the road where many trees could be seen around. There are houses there and the road is also bright because of the lighted postings. As they were walking, suddenly someone whistled at them from behind them so the three of them turned around but they did not see anyone behind them.

When they looked back at Shane they were surprised when it suddenly disappeared from their sight. The cold wind blew again which frightened them. It was six o'clock in the evening at that time and it was already dark. It's not too scary where they go because the surroundings are bright because of the postings with lights and there are also houses in the woods but they are far apart.

"Guys, Shane is missing." Cara said wonderingly.

"Where did she go?" Lester asked.

"I don't like what's happening anymore, I'm scared." Cara said trembling lips in fear.

"Shut up Cara and you're not the only one who feels scared but us too but we can't leave Shane alone." Carl said seriously.

Cara never spoke again.

 They looked around and searched for the three of them missing with her.

"Shane ...! Shane .....!" They call Shane's name.

They saw no trace of Shane.

"Shane .....! Shane .....!" They repeatedly called Shane.

While they were busy calling Shane they didn't expect to hear anyone shout.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh .....!" A woman shouted not far away in the dark part of the woods.

The three of them looked at each other and were shocked to hear the shout.

"Maybe it's Shane. Let's go." Carl said.

"What if it's not her? And why would she go to the dark side." Lester said to carl already felt scared.

"Don't be afraid, guys. We'll just see." Carl said not afraid of what would happen to them.

Lester and Cara could not speak again when they heard what Carl said. Cara grabbed Lester's arm and Carl took the lead. They went to where the noise was coming from.
