Chapitre 30: Chapter 28: When the shadow lurks
The auditorium is almost full as students enter and watch the play. Lilith found an empty seat. A few minutes and the musical play will start, Lilith laid herself back.
The staff slowly turned the lights off, indicating that the musical play will start.
As the curtain opens, people were standing under the dark blue light of the stage. A woman with a rope in her neck starts to sing and the crowd follows. They stump their foot as they sing. A dark music plays along.
A shriek of someone was heard behind on the crowd, the crowd keep singing and stumping their foot as if they didn't hear anything.
"Help! Somebody! " A sound of a woman said as she was dragged behind, the people didn't look back but just keep singing. The woman isn't heard by the crowd as if someone dragged her into the darkness and the people didn't seem to care.
"Injustice and Cruelty around us. In this world, we can't say who is the killer." A narrator's voice is heard. The people's voice went higher as the narrator speaks.
"Monsters can't be seen nor can't be caught. People die without justice. Evil is winning... " and the narrator's voice faded as the curtain is close.
The curtain opens and a scene of a man, wearing a brown trenched coat and is in front of a board with a lot of yarns being linked to each photo and documentations. A woman around her mid 30s is seen on the scene, wearing a floral chiffon blouse with a light brown waisted pants.
"Honey, rest. You've been so hard on yourself. We'll soon find out about our daughter" the woman said as she placed the coffee in her hand on the table. The man sigh and sits on the chair.
"I'll do my best to find the suspect of who killed our daughter." The woman smiled at him, "Okay, dear. I know we can find the suspect"
"How could Anna die?" he said as he stood up and runs his hands through his hair. "She was there and then she.. " The man stopped mid-way and just sigh out of frustration.
The woman stood up and embraced him behind, "We'll sooner find out"
The man turned and faced her, hold her hand. "Okay, love" and the man hugged her.
"We'll sooner find out", the woman said. The man smiled as a reply.
"I'll be going and prepare for dinner", the woman said as she slowly walked out of the scene and the curtain closed.
The next scene is a girl with a knife in hand. She was in a room on her bed, crying. And a rope was seen hanging. She looked up and began to sing.
"It's too late now.
I lose the game…
It's time to end the pain."
She sings with shakiness in her voice. She grabbed a chair nearby and stood up. Suddenly, black figures can be seen as it lurks. The lights flicker on and off as the black figures take turns, whispering to the girl.
"No one needs you"
"Just go die already"
The girl cries as she hear the whispers and grabbed the rope. The light suddenly went off and the girl was found hanging. The black figure chants as the lights fadedly went off. The next scene is where the woman in the previous scene was kneeling down on a pentagram, the black star on a big red circle with candles around it. The black curtain is behind her and a deep dark voice was heard.
"My peasant servant... Will they know about it?" She laughs menacingly.
"No, master. No one will know" and the women manically laughs. Her face can't be seen since the woman is glancing down.
"She is dead and no one knows about the cause of her death. How pity."
The deep dark voice menacingly laughs as the curtains shut. The curtain opens as the girl on the poster is found in a woman's arm on her bed.
"But Mother. I'm sure I saw it" the woman smiled and just hugged her.
"Honey, you should sleep now."
"But mom!" The woman stood up from her bed and open her closet and slowly look on her the girl.
"Honey.. No monster in your closet. I didn't see monster in your closet"
"But Mom.. did you know? I saw Anna" The woman stiff of what the girl said, startled and slowly walked towards the girl.
"When did you saw her?" the woman asked as she sit on the bed.
"I saw her at school and I asked her to come home but after that, I didn't see her." The woman only replied with a smile, "I know you miss your sister, Caitlyn"
"You should sleep, goodnight" the woman said as she kissed the girl on the forehead and went out of the scene. The girl shut her eyes, smokes appear and the black figures standing on the side of the bed as the curtains closes.
Suddenly, red flashes and smoke appears as the curtain opens and the girl on the poster was seen. A soundtrack that is suspenseful filled the room as the girl sang and walks around in panic, looking at the audience with eyes that is needing help.
"Oh help me
Oh help me,
They are coming after me..
There is nowhere to hide.."
Lilith laid back as she watches the show. The lights flickered on and off on the girl's background as a figure could be seen. A shadow figure of a monster that is a ghost can be seen.
"Shushh all of you...
Do you hear that?"
The girl asked, look around and covered her ears as the minimal sound of whispers is heard, whispers that is saying bad words to the girl. The lights suddenly went off and on as a black figure appear on the girl's right side.
"You go die"
And the lights went off again and on and another black figure appear on the girl's left side, "You are nothing but a waste"
And it went again, "Maybe, kill yourself?" A black figure appear above the girl. The lights went off as many whispers were slowly heard.
"You are just a shit"
"A kid that is such a waste of space'
The lights went on and all the black figure is surrounding the girl and the black figure's hand is waving on. The girl look at the audience with a worried look on her face.
"That is the sound of the voices.
Voices that is on my head...
Who is trying to kill me"
The black figures continue to chant the words and the girl is still covering her ears. She looks at each student, a tear dropped on her face.
"I don't want to hear it.
I want you to help me."
And a sudden choir was heard on the side of the stage,
"She is trying to protect her self. Oh look, oh look… She is now crying.
Don't listen to them, dear or you'll be dead. Cover your ears and don't listen to them
Protect yourself from them"
As the choirs sings, the black figure isn't stop chanting. It's like two music competing either the girl will win or lose as they sang. The girl glanced down and cried.
"Help me…
Oh, please. Help me…"
And as the chant went louder, the lights suddenly went red as the girl went unconscious and the black figures' hands covered the girl and the lights went off. The sound of thunder and lighting was heard as the curtain opens. The woman is found chanting.
"Sell her soul...
She needs to be sacrificed.
Sell her soul...
The master needs it
Sell her soul...
We all need it"
As the woman chants, a Gregorian chant joined in as the black figure wearing in a black hooded robe appear and circled the woman. The lights flicker on and off as they chant and the girl on the poster appeared in front of the woman.
"My sweet child...
You should sleep...
Mommy is here to sell your soul"
The woman sings as she caressed the girl and then she smiled menacingly. She throws her hands up in the air along with the black figures that circled them. Suddenly, a silhouette of a demon can be seen as they chant. The sang and the lights suddenly went off.
A sudden light opens and focused on the woman who is now eating a flesh of the girl. Lilith was amazed of how they realistically made the prosthetic, it reminded her of Lucia who ate a human flesh.
"Honey.?" The man appears on the scene, he was stunned. The woman with blood all over her mouth, flesh in her hands, looking at the man standing and is trembling.
"Join us, your daughter will be happy"
The man walked and drop his knees on the floor and cried, "no."
"I sold her soul, honey…"
The man looked at the woman, crying and pull the gun out.
"You are a monster"
The woman just laugh at the man's remark and replied, "Oh honey…"
And suddenly black figures appear, circling them. The man was in panic.
"Who are you.?" The woman slowly walks to the man, "Join us"
"Join us"
"Join us"
"Join us"
The black figures chant along as they slowly walk to the man, closing the distance gap. The man cried and screamed as they covered him and the curtains shut.Lilith is intrigued.
On the next scene, another girl with a flashlight on her hand is seen, trying to look for something on her newspaper. The background scene has a board with lots of yarns and has photos attached. The girl sings as she looks at the newspapers on her table.
"Who is the black figures that appear...
They can't be seen nor could be heard
Are they near?…
I must be away from here…
But I need to find the truth
And let them know how it brought
Chaos and destruction..."
The girl starts to open the drawers as she grabbed folders and start to scan it.
"Giving up isn't an option..
I must find the truth"
A girl sang as the black figures circled her. She is standing bravely and hasn't notice the black figures around her. Lilith likes the way the girl sang it. Fearless, she could say. Everything interrupted when the door suddenly opened.
"Who is the director of this musical play?" the principal asked with authority in his tone. A student that is behind the curtains appear and raised her hand.
"Stop this play!" the principal said and looked at the student. "We had an agreement, director. " The principal look at each students and look at the director
"Now, a word"
The student glance down and walked to the principal and went out of the door. The crowd suddenly made noise. A student appeared again from the back stage, "Guys, guys. Attention?"
The crowd didn't listen and Lilith wondered why the principal stop the play, Lilith liked the play. A student grabbed a mic and said, "Guys, attention. We would like to say sorry of the interruption of the play. We shouldn't supposedly to make this play since it's against the principal. This play is a work of art from the director, the student that was been sent out earlier. Anyways, thank you for coming"
The unison of boooo is heard from the crowd and murmurs could be heard as they went out. Lilith slowly stood up and look at the actors on the stage and some part of the play with props on their hand. Judging of their faces, Lilith could tell that they are dissapointed.
"You did great, guys! Love your musical play" Lilith shouted at them and every actor and students involved looked at her and smile. The student who announced earlier smiled and replied, "thank you"
Lilith smiled back and went out of the auditorium.
