I had explained Sidney the plan. She was going to act like I attacked her and in self defence, she pushed me into banging my own head into the basement beam.
Just to make it a little more realistic I banged my head into the beam and collapsed on the floor. Meanwhile she banged the basement gate and told Ronald that she captured me.
— For complete chapter wise listing of this story go to The Unknown —
“He attacked me and I had to push him away.” she said when confronted by Ronald as she did not believe him, “Now I believe you. Let’s kill him.”
“Not now”, said Ronald, “We’ll have to take him back to the warehouse where it all started.”
She liked that idea as that was their end game already. Meanwhile she went back up and asked Ned for the translation. Ronald came down towards me. He said in a devilish voice, “You can’t touch me, I am protected.”
I acted like that beam made me dizzy and in a dizzy voice I said, “I will kill you.”
He punched me and rendered me unconscious. I could hear Debbie’s voice in the back of my head. All the gross images of death, acute memory loss feelings,paranormal hauntings ,great unsolved mysteries ,the haunted basement, old spell book, scary eyeballs, totem magic, Latin tattoo sayings, spiritual cleansing ritual, all came rushing back to me.
It was like I was going to die and all I could think of was letting my friends down. Suddenly in the distance, Sidney’s voice woke me up. She said, “I found a Latin translation in Dexter’s pocket. It said –
Bring the devil, and you shall say to the children of the curse: The place of origin 13 days leave us,
I think this means take the demon where it all began and he shall be cleansed of the spirit.”
When she said this we were halfway to the warehouse. Ronald got a little panicky. He said, “Let’s kill him here only. Why take him to the warehouse?”
Sidney said, “If this says that our friend is alive inside and the demon can be cleansed then we need to take him there.”
Everybody agreed. I was wide awake now. I said, “Why are you getting scared of the warehouse Ronald? The truth is out in the open now.”
Everyone saw the red eyes glowing through Ronald. He was the demon and it was clear to all. Now he had to run but he couldn’t because I had put in his pocket a demon trap.
He was unable to leave the warehouse where we had reached by now while settling this dispute. He was trapped. I started chanting from the book of the dead and invited the rest of the group to chant with me.
They did the same. The weather started changing to the worse and everything went blood read. It was pouring rain now and the clouds were bursting just like the night of the creation of Ronald.
Ronald started changing voices and speaking in Latin in different dialects. Once the chant was over there was a loud thud from inside Ronald and a black cloud left his body and Ronald collapsed on the ground.
The weather and everything around us returned to its original state. I said, “This is known as an insta check mate.”
It’s Not Over
I was done. Ronald woke up and everyone started regaining their memories. All of us remembered where our cars were hidden and we got into them and while we were leaving the warehouse, Sidney saw something terrifying. It was Ronald’s eyes. They still glowed red.
