Friends Circling Me

It was getting dark and I was scared. I was thinking of how my mother would scold me for being out so late with my friends.. Fear was gripping me but it was still not as strong as the one I had just witnessed.

In the morning, I left home with the promise of fun and frolic, everything seemed promising about the day. After all, I was going to my best friend, Anya's birthday. The whole squad would be there. I was hoping for a happy day with the old, school gang.

And it would've been happy too if it wasn't for the fact that she decided to celebrate her birthday in a haunted house!

It was strange. I have attended birthdays in cafes, bars, houses but a haunted house?

It was a strange but an intriguing choice. Anya always had a soft corner for strange things.

I went there at the designated time and things were going smoothly. We had our cake and food and drinks but when it came the time to explore the house, the five of us were scared and evidently so. No one tried to put on a brave face. What good has being fake brought to anyone, anyway?

We all could've turned around, away from that creepy house but we couldn't. We had made up our minds and the birthday girl was especially looking forward to it. The house as we moved within started looking stranger and more haunted than it has been from the outside. I was lost in its ruined splendor.

After a while, I looked around, making my eyes look away from the spooky horror vibe of the place but no one was around me. I shouted and screamed. Their names came out of my mouth like a cry for help. But no one responded. But then I saw Anya appear out of the backdoor, behind her my other 3 friends.

They all surrounded me and started circling me. They all were wearing white dresses I don't remember seeing them in before. They circled me and started crying. I saw their tears and then I started to laugh.

My plan was successful. The devil was fed. My idea of suggesting Anya the haunted house for her birthday was a success!

I looked around and heard the devil's laugh. I was enjoying it because I know I was to be rewarded but that until he growled again, out of hunger.

I ran away as fast as I could, because I knew I was next. Devil was loyal to no one, not even to his allies. I ran and got out of the house. Safe on the road.

Now, I was on my way home, quite late and scared of my mother's wrath. But more than that the 4 ghosts circling me constantly scared me more.
