3 . SSSHHHHH !

By
Mark sipped his coffee as he sat at the counter,legs crossed wondering about his love life. He was in his mid-twenties and helped his dad run a little pawn shop that his dad owned. He would usually be out gambling at some club but when his father was out he would look after their shop. This time too his father was out on some urgent business and he had to take over his place at the shop. Mark's father wanted him to take over the shop after him and continue their family business but Mark had different plans.................................he wanted to open a casino of his own. His father naturally thought that it was a stupid idea and would never work but Mark wouldn't give up. Moreover his love life was miserable. He never had any luck with girls. Whenever he took a girl out for a date something terrible would happen and he would end up miserable every single time.

                                                       

The bell clinked, signalling that there was a customer. Mark got up setting his coffee aside and straightened his shirt, ready to greet the customer. He glanced at his watch as it displayed the numbers 8:00 on it. It was quite late and it was snowing outside. Usually there would be no customers at this hour , but there was one today. The door opened and a lady entered in carrying a shopping bag in her hand. The sight of the new customer made Mark's jaw drop in awe. She was a brunette with rosy cheeks and ocean blue eyes. The way she dusted the snow off her coat was the perfect epitome of grace. She seemed to be in her late twenties. She was the perfect girl for him , the one he had wished for so long. For the first time Mark felt that looking after the shop was indeed a good idea. He could ask her for coffee this weekend or maybe for a movie, soon they would start dating and finally Mark would have a successful love life. Thousands of thoughts crossed his mind as he continued looking at her as she set her shopping bags aside and walked towards the counter. Mark could hear his heart throbbing as she approached the counter and set her hands on the table. Something shined at Mark's eyes and when he looked down what it was, all of his dreams shattered in an instant.She had a wedding ring............................... too bad she was already taken. Mark's heart sank as he blamed his fate. Fate had always been this cruel towards him. What could he do but blame his fate alone..........

Mark forced a smile on his face and greeted his new customer,
" Good Evening Madam , how can I help you ?"
The brunette smiled and replied,
" Good Evening, I would like to buy the Crucifix from the display shelf."
Her voice was velvet smooth and her smile totally irresistible . Mark quickly turned his face away so as to hide his red cheeks. His heart was still throbbing, only more louder this time.WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME ? he thought as he picked up the crucifix from the shelf.
" This one ? " he asked.
" Yes, that's the one."she replied as her eyes sparkled with joy.
Mark packed it up and placed in it in a black bag with the shop's logo on it. He placed the bag on the counter and stated its price. The brunette's eyes were still glistening like that of a child at the sight of candy. She paid the amount and Mark handed her the bill. Mark wanted to stop her as she began to leave but stayed still in his place.
" Thank you and visit again !!" he said as the door closed hoping he would see her once again.

Sue walked on the deserted street that led to her house. She looked up at the sky , it had stopped snowing and the sky had cleared out a while ago when she was at the shop. It was a full moon night .
She smiled to herself as a memory came up. James loved full moon and that was the day when he had proposed her for the wedding. Sue was snapped out of her thoughts by a dog's bark. It was Mike , the neighbour's dog. He would often break loose when his master was asleep and roam on the streets. Sue was familiar with him and also took him out for a walk when his master was not well. But today it seemed as if  he did not recognize her and kept barking at her. Something was definitely wrong with him.
                                         

" Hey Mike its me, Sue , don't you know ? whats wrong boy ?" she said as she stepped forward to pat his head. But the dog growled and backed away from her and kept barking at the little black bag in her hand. Sue clutched the bag to her chest as the dog tried to pounce on it. As she held the bag close to her bosom , she felt a strange energy rising within her. Her skin grew pale and her pupils dilated turning her once blue eyes black.
The dog continued barking at her ferociously as she bent down placing a finger on her lips. She bent down to the dog's height and whispered " ssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
The dog dropped on the street lifeless as she regained her posture and looked up to the sky. The moon had turned red. She smirked and continued walking towards her house.

Riiiiiiiiinnnnnggggggg! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggg!   It was the fifth time James had rung the doorbell, yet there was no response. James had just returned after 4 days of business trip. Sure he was tired but , he was excited to return home and to meet his beloved wife, Sue. Just thinking about her would bring a smile on his face. She just had something magical in her which made his life special. He could not imagine his life without her. Before meeting Sue, James was all alone. He had no idea of family as he was an orphan from the beginning of his life. He was completely unknown to the feeling of love and happiness until he met Sue.                                             James was tapping his foot on the floor as he pushed the doorbell for the last time.Why wasn't Sue answering ? he thought. He called her twice on her mobile but still no answer. He could hear the faint ringtone of her mobile phone from upstairs. What was wrong ? Was she asleep ? or was she Sick ?

4 Days ago.... "Honey , where is my blue tie ? I can't find it !!" said James as he was searching his wardrobe frantically. "It's right there ." said Sue as she stood at the door, hands crossed at her chest. " Where ???? I can't find it !!!"said James tossing out other ties . "Oh dear.........just take a deep breath and calm down ." said Sue as she picked up the blue tie from the suitcase and tied it around James' neck. " You're gonna be just fine.....don't get stressed . I know you're gonna get that deal for sure,  just be yourself."she smiled and kissed his forehead. James was now staring into her eyes . Her eyes were ocean blue and James felt as if he would drown in them . Little by little all the nervousness , all the stress , all the worries he had, disappeared as he looked deeper into her eyes. He felt as if he could stare at them all his life and never get tired. Sue had something magical in he

"Ooww!" Sue cried as she clutched her head. She felt as of thousands of needles were pricking her. She was surprised to find herself on the living room floor. Strange.............. she thought. She could not remember coming home. She remembered going to the supermarket and then at the pawn shop but could not figure out what happened on her way back home. It was as if her memory was erased............... Sue scratched her head thinking hard about how she'd passed out on the floor. Was she drunk the night before? Or did she bump into something and knocked herself out ? As she was thinking , something caught her eye. It was the little black bag from the pawn shop. Last night she had bought a beautiful Crucifix and then she couldn't recall anything else. Never mind.... she thought and left for a shower leaving the bag in the living room. The water rushed out as Sue turned the shower on. Nothing is better than a warm shower , she thought. As the water ran down her body

5 . The Faceless man

By
Sue trembled with fear as she felt the presence of someone standing behind her. The blood continued to gush out from her neck as she tried to stop it with her hand , her heart was throbbing louder than usual and sweat beads formed near her brow. Sue was so scared that she felt as if her legs were paralysed making her unable to move. Suddenly the tense situation was broken with the sudden revival of the T.V . Sue threw the flower vase which she was holding so long in the direction of the T.V breaking the screen into thousands of shards. The T.V screen came down with a large thud scattering the glass splinters every where. She started breathing heavily as the person behind her came in front of her. Sue could not believe her own eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks . It was James ........ he had come back for her ..... Without thinking any further Sue leapt into his arms sobbing terribly , holding him tight as if she would never let him leave her again. James hugged her back sending shi

7 . History repeats itself

By
Sue fell asleep , tired from all the crying. Her nose was red and her eyes sore from all the sobbing. All that was happening with her seemed a bit familiar but she wasn't quite sure about this feeling. The house was still and everything was quite. The rush outside had died and it was deserted outside , one could hear nothing but the rustling of leaves as the wind passed by.                  Sue found herself in an odd but familiar place. She thought she had fallen asleep a while ago but there she was , in a place that she could never forget. It was her Grandpa's old mansion where she had spent her childhood.Unsure of what to do Sue roamed in the mansion letting all the memories bathe her. And then she saw the wooden chest on her Grandpa's study lying undisturbed. She remembered how mad her Grandpa became when she tried to open that chest when she was younger. She was quite a curious little kid back then. She always wanted to open the chest and see what was inside that w

Sue sat on her bed biting her lip as she recalled the previous night's events. She could not believe herself as all the events seemed total bizarre................was she going crazy ? But that didn't explain the Serpent mark on her neck...................... She was confused but more than that she was scared. The way James' face changed into that horrible creature had made her heart skip a beat. She was experiencing unimaginable things , things that were far away from any kind of fantasy .Even if she tried telling someone , no one would believe her let alone help. The only person who could soothe her was James , but at this moment he was miles away...........and even if he tried to come back he could not make it before nightfall. Sue dialed James' number on her cellphone and placed it near her ear, waiting for him to answer. Even if he wasn't by her side , his words could always soothe her. The line clicked on the other side and Sue spoke first, "Hello James

8 . Puzzle

By
Before she could process what she'd discovered , she felt as if something was pulling her downwards. When she looked down to see what was wrong she found herself stuck in a quicksand and was sinking deeper into it with each passing second. How did she get caught into quicksand when she was standing in her grandpa's study ? she thought as she took a view around her , the walls of the room were melting into sand revealing the darkness behind them. The sand was increasing and she was sinking deeper into it. Panicked, she began struggling to get out of there , she looked around her to find something to hold onto , something that could pull her out of the sand but where ever she turned for help she was faced by darkness and nothing else. She felt as if she was caged inside a sand hourglass ............ Soon she was covered by sand and she felt the air escaping her lungs. With the last breath inside her she mouthed the words " J..a..m..e..s.."

9 . Peek- a - boo !

Sue was trying hard to figure out how she could use the vial of holy water . The vial wasn't much big , it was about the size of her palm which meant that she could not afford wasting even a single drop of it. It was already dark outside and the moon appeared a bit unusual today. That was when it struck her, it was the day of Lunar Eclipse .... the day of her Demise .....But Sue had decided that she would not give up without putting up a proper fight. As she was engrossed in her thoughts , she hear a loud crash and a faint whisper. She could make out what the sound was , it was the sound of a plate crashing on the floor. But she wasn't sure of the whisper. Sue kept the vial on the wooden chest and pushed it back under the bed. She got up and leaned closer to the door trying to listen carefully.  CRASH ! .........2 Then there was a long pause ...... CRASH ! ..........3 The phantom was pushing down the plates and counting along with it. With every crash , the serpent mark

                                           James checked himself in the mirror one last time. He was ready for the final presentation. He smiled to himself as he recalled Sue's smiling face wishing him good luck . It had been just 3 days away from home but it felt as if they had been apart for years. His smile grew wider as he realized that he would be in a plane flying back home in about 4 hours,back to where he truly belonged, in the arms of his love. He picked up his phone from the dresser and dialed Sue's number hoping to hear her voice before his final presentation . The line clicked , signalling that that the call had been received. "Hello lov- " Before he could complete his sentence , the connection went dead with a loud beep sound at the end. Maybe it was some network error .... he assumed. He was about to redial her number when he heard a faint faint knock on his door. " Excuse me Sir, the CEO is already here." " I'll be out in a min
