Monday.
She opened her eyes at exactly 3am. Her bedroom door was wide open.”Ugh, not again”. She whispered to herself.She felt around the bed behind her and her husband was sound asleep.She got out of bed to close the door and abruptly stopped when she saw the silhouette of her husband walking into the bedroom.”Alexa, let there be light”, she quickly turned the lights on and her husband squinted his eyes. “What the hell is wrong with you?” he asked, upset. She turned around to look at the bed but no one was laying in it. She looked at him and said,” Youwouldn’t believe me if I told you.”
Tuesday
3 am and she once again woke up and felt the room colder than the norm. She was freezing. She curled up a bit more and moved closer to her husband. She didn’t feel him.”Babe?” She slowly turned her head to his side of the bed. She saw a figure standing on his side. She whispered…”Babe?” no response.Her eyes finally adjusted to the dark. He was just standing there, staring at absolutely nothing. Maybe he was sleepwalking and stood there but he’s never done that before. She waited to see if she made any sudden movements, nothing.She then heard the door knob turn and the door slowly opened. “Alexa let there be light,” She yelled. The room was bright. Her husband snapped out his trance and the door that closed.”Babe again with the lights?” “What do you mean again? You were standing there for God knows how long without moving and then the door started to open so I turned the lights on.” She rapidly spoke.”Wait, What? the door was opening?” He grabbed a bat from the side of our bed and walked towards the bedroom door. He opened it, walked around the whole apartment but didn’t find Anything or anyone. “The coast is clear.”I delayed down next to her. She looked at her strangely, “You don’t remember anything?””Unh no’ Tre paid while settling into bed. “Alexa goodnight”She was wide awake while he slept, Staring into the darkness.
Wednesday
8 am, She was up making coffee before heading for war.”Good morning babe” he walked into the kitchen and smacked her butt. “Damn babe you look like phit”.She leaned up against the kitchen counter. “You Seriously don’t remember anything that happened last night?” she took a sip of her coffee. “no I don’t” his expression grew more concerning now. “What happened?”.She explained what the Paw and he didn’t Want to believe.”But it happened and the night before Someone that wasn’t you was in bed with hee.””So you’re — on me with a ghost?” he chuckled. “no you idiot, this isn’tfunny”. “Look, it’s probably just us being extra tired. bets try to go to bed a bit earlier tonight and see what happens.” he paid while hugging her tight.”you’re probably right. Help me take the rest of these decorations to the car, I have to finish the third floor today” She pecked up a few shopping bags and walked out the door.”Did I tell you I caught some kids playing it? A Ouija Board in a staircase at work?”She stopped in her tracks.”What?!””Yeah, these kids are crazy. I had to stop it. I took the board, broke it in half and threw it out.” “You DID WHAT?!!!” She grabbed him by the shoulders and tried to Shake him. “Did you at least say Good-bye?, please tell me you said Good-bye!””Umm, no?!” he questioned.”Oh my gosh babe, I have to sage the apartment when we get back. You did a horrible thing, I’ll explain in the car, let’s go!Wednesday evening they went back home. She had already explained that not paying Good-bye to the board leaves an open portal for anything to join our world. Something not so friendly followed him home and made its presence known. Hopefully the sage helps. 3am and she hasn’t slept yet waiting to see what happens.3:10am , still awake. No movements or sounds. She started to slowly doze off when she suddenly felt the room temperature change. She took her quiet and covered herself a bit more. Her husband brightly shifted. but he was still sound asleep. She snuggled up behind him andstarted to doze off when she heard the door knob shaking.She sat up and the door was already open.”Babe, get up “she shook him until he groaned.”What?!””Look at the door, it just opened on its own.”He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He got up to check the hallway when something tall and dark rushed by the opened door.”What the hell was that?! ” ‘he stumbled back towards the bed.”Now you see what I’m talking about?” She Whispered to him.”We need to get out of here, now,!” they turned on the light and rushed to get dressed. They grabbed a few things, phones and wallets and walked towards the apartment door. “What are we supposed to do now?” he looked worried.She had an idea but was afraid to tell him what it was. She felt it would work, it’s the only thing that will actually work.”Let’s go, I have an idea” she said while grabbing her keys.
Thursday
They called out of work. They weren’t in the state of mind to deal with humans let alone dealing with a dark shadow or something unseen. They went back into their apartment. Everything seemed normal and extremely quiet. He walked around to make sure things were safe.”Babe, look at this.” She walked into their bedroom and what she saw upset her. There was a pentagram drawn on the wall above their bed and her husband’s name written right under it.”Holy shit!” 2:50am- “I hope this actually works, this is insane but I hope it works”. He sat with her on the floor, both facing the Ouija board they bought. “We have to close the portal babe, if not then it’s going to continue to haunt us”. The Ouija board laid on top of a black cloth , two white candles on the corners of the board, a glass of cold water and some holy water just in case. They patiently waited until 3am so they could begin using the board.The lights went off. “Alexa, let there be light” but the lights never came back on. “That’s our cue, it must be three o’clock”, he was saying.They both put their fingers on the planchet and she began to speak. “Is anyone there?”. They stared at the board but no movement.”Is anyone there? “she asked again. “If anyone is actually here, please leave us alone, we’re closing the portal you came from.” They looked at each other, she was terrified. “Babe it’s ok, I’m here for you.” The planchet flipped over on the board from right under their fingertips. She screamed.A low scratching came from the mirror behind her husband.. She looked at the mirror but saw nothing. Her eyes traveled down to her husband’s face. “Babe?; his head was low, his chin almost touching his chest.He slowly raised his head. His eyes were milky white, his grin was wider than his usual grin, abnormally wide.”Babe? Babe?!!” she slid back away from him, scared for her life.He got into a crawling position and made a loud screeching sound. She covered her ears and closed her eyes and recited a prayer.She heard the fast movement of his feet and hands slapping the floor. She opened her eyes and he was gone but her bedroom door was opened.She slowly crept out of her bedroom. She peeked around but I didn’t see him. She took a deep sigh, braced herself and ran towards the apartment door. She was brutally stopped by some invisible force.”Ouch! what the hell?”She slowly backed away. A low growl came from behind her. She trembled and closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She knew this was her end. She slowly turned around and then husband who no longer was her husband was standing a few feet away from her.His eyes were dark, low. He looked maniacal, deranged. He slammed what looked like a clawed hand on the wall and then the other one on the other wall. He climbed up to the ceiling and crawled upside down towards her. She screamed in fear then the screams turned into a loud choking gargle. His growls became louder. He ripped her trachea out, her lifeless body collapsed to the floor.He stood over her dead body. His Stare was blank. He just stared and drooled and snarled while swaying back and forth. A knock came to the door. He slowly turned his head. Another knock.”Hello, this is your neighbor, is everything ok in there?” then more knocking. Hellooo, open the door!”He grinned…
