Blood Curse
By: Andre Grandier
Natalie Vargas waited impatiently on the top bleachers beside the track. She was eager to meet her boyfriend Victor Gamboa who was supposed to be there long ago. Victor had told Natalie to wait for him for he needed to talk to Mr. Rivera. Natalie had light-brown, long, and curly hair which contrasted nicely with her creamy white skin and bronze-colored eyes.
Time passed by and the sky went from its eternal blue to pink and purple and finally as the day’s twilight faded away evil darkness invaded ,only now the pearly white moonlight bathed the school and its surroundings. Natalie glanced at her wrist watch as an unexplainable cloud of fear crept over her. Although it was late the air hot and still. A typical Summer evening .
”What’s taking him so long?” Natalie groaned. Then she heard it, soft at first .Someone was laughing. Warily, Natalie looked around while an icy cold thrill rolled down her spine, unable to identify where was the laugh coming from.
“Victor, if you are trying to play a joke on me I will never forgive you!” shouted Natalie angrily. No one answered. Silence. Then again the laugh came back, louder, sinister and more frightening and macabre than before. The laugh pounded in her ears. She couldn’t bear it, Natalie clenched her eyes and covered her ears breathing hard until the laugh stopped. She uncovered her ears and opened her eyes, but when she did, she stood frozen, horrified , her eyes wide open as she stopped breathing, her heart leapt into her throat. Victor’s head floating, staring right into her eyes, his hair stained with blood, one of his eyeballs had fallen out. His only eye shining with malice as he crackly grinned, blood blackening through the teeth and guts hanging in the edges of the neck. Natalie tried to scream but no sound came out. She tried to get away and stepped back realizing too late that she was at the top of the bleachers. She stepped into emptiness. Natalie tried to grab something, something that could save her. Not in time. At last, a bloodcurdling scream escaped from her throat as her body fell down the bleachers. Bump, bump, bump. Her body crashed violently on each step. Ii seemed endlessly. Bump, bump, bump. Again and again until finally she hit the ground hard and painfully with a cracking sound. Her eyes still wide open staring lifelessly to the sky as a string of blood made its way out from her head then the joyful laugh, playfully , louder than ever as it disappeared into the blackness of the night.
