Ouija

The flames of the candles surrounding us flickered, giving off an eerie glow that illuminated the board.
 I smiled at my friend Kat as she suspiciously glanced around the room, I could tell that already her nerves were getting to her.
 “Izzy, Is it safe?” She asked nervously 
“Of course it is, you’re not backing out, are you”
 “No….” she quivered
 “Because if you back out now you’ll attract evil, it feeds on fear….that and human souls” I said darkly, enjoying the sight of her squirm, Isn’t that what friends do? Scare friends witless? 

Hesitantly she placed her fingers on the old wooden planchette and I did so too.
 We waited in a spooky silence waiting for a spirit to announce itself.

 I hope this works  I thought Ouija isn’t any fun without ghosts 
But up in the old cluttered attic of my grandma’s house, SOMETHING had to have died in here.
 A soft, cold, breeze blew and I shivered We closed our eyes and began to chant 

    “Ouija, Ouija are you there,   
     Ouija, Ouija are you there,”   

My breath caught in my throat as the plachette slowly began to move

 Y-E-S 

Finaly a ghost was here 

"Can we ask you some questions?" 
Once again the planchette moved  

Y-E-S   

kat's eves widened with terror "Izzy, stop it, don't joke with me!"
 "I'm not doing anything" I said breathlessly and then remembering why we were here I asked the ghost "What was your name?"

 The planchette moved again 

A-N-N-I-E 

“Izzy, l-l-l-et’s not do this” 
I waved her away "Annie, how old were you?"

 9 

“A nine year old? That’s not as scary” Breathed Kat 
“Don’t Insult her!” I snapped “You have no clue what she is capable of”

 The Planchette moved 

M-U-R-D-E-R

 “y-y-you d-didn’t as-sk her a qu-qu-question” stuttered kat
 “I know I didn’t!” I panicked “Murder? Is that how you died Annie?”


 The room fell silent,

no answer, I glanced over at Kat 

“Annie, how did you die?”


 Y-O-U  W-I-L-L  S-O-O-N  F-I-N-D  O-U-T 

Panic gripped at my heart
 “Why? What’s going to happen? Annie? Annie! What’s going to happen!?” I screamed 


Y-O-U   B-E-T-T-E-R  R-U-N 





Suddenly all the candles snuffed out leaving us in the dark  A blood curdling scream echoed through the heart stopping silence 

“K-kat?” I Asked, my voice meek and timid 

 

There was no reply

 “Kat?” I asked again a hint of panic in my voice  

I felt my way to the old box of matches and re-lit one of the candles.

 Kat was gone 

I walked around franticly searching for her 
“Kat!? KAT?! Kat where are you!!!!” 
Suddenly in the corner of my eye I saw a silhouette in the arch of the candlelight 
“Kat?”  I asked Running towards the figure '

“Not anymore” Came a deep inhuman voice

 I screamed and ran downstairs, turning sharply around a corner and dashing into my grandma’s room. I locked the door behind me and hid under the covers 

There was a long silence and then footsteps.
 With each step the floor boards of the old house squeaked 

Thump-Squeak 

Thump-Squeak 

Thump-Squeak 

silence  

I could hear my heart pounding in my chest and Heavy, struggled breaths 

calm down Izzy I thought to myself It's all ok...

I paused for a moment and  although I was holding my breath,I could still hear that short, labored, breathing sound.  

I sat up in a shot 

That's not me breathing 

 

A cold, clammy hand came down on my shoulder 

“What are you?” I managed to choke out 
And the last thing I heard before every thing whent black, was that deep, dark, inhuman voice: 

“My name was Annie”

Oh, creepy, really creepy! I have a Ouija board, but never used it. All of my friends were scared to touch it, now I can understand why. Nice job, it was a good story.
