Celest (Part 1 of 3)
First story prompt I ever do, so if it sucks, sorry for wasting those 3 valuable minutes of your life.
#WritcoStoryPrompt11
The village well as eerie even by the day. Stories of horror revolved around it. But nothing deterred me and my friends to explore it on that moonless, winter night…
I woke up early that day, feeling a jolt of excitement. It was Halloween and I was gonna spend it with my friends at some spooky village everyone in school talked about. Why? Probably because we were teens, and teens make the dumbest decisions ever. We had planned it for weeks, we were gonna meet at a McDonald's and get some food, then we would spend the night at the village. My friends Alice, Hannah and Don met and had some chicken nuggets amd fries. "Is it weird that this is my favorite food, the fries. Oh my gosh, they're so great", Don praised the food. Although he was a strange guy, he was actually the boy I liked, tall, scrawny, brown hair, green eyes. And since I knew he would never think of me that way, I'd never told him.
Once we had finished the food, Hannah drove us to the village in her small, white convertible. Hannah had dark skin and beautiful gray eyes, she was great person, but she never really liked making friends, you'd have to really gain her trust. Luckily for me, I had known her since the 4th grade, she also knew Alice since kindergarten but didn't really trust Don yet. I could see her looking back at him mirrors every once in a while, checking on what he was doing. I sat in the back with him, trying not to make eye contact.
When we arrived, Alice spotted a sign saying "Welcome to Celest". "Nice name for a so-called haunted village", said Don. "Yeah", responded Hannah with a darker tone in her voice. I stayed quiet though, staring down at the small village, poking a glance at every building I could spot. There were a few houses, 1 bar and maybe 1 saloon. "It looks like one of those old-timey western towns from the movies", said Alice loudly, with a faint smile on her face. Her pale face gave me a quick glance, only to be interrupted by Hannah's voice, "Well, we gonna go check out old Celest or what". With that she was walking away, deeper into the town. I suddenly got chills, at least the sun had just gone down, and with that I followed. When I caught up to Hannah, she was standing in font of a small blue house. Alice and Don quickly caught up to us and immediately started at the house. Without a warning, Hannah walked into the house, I trusted her though, and followed her in, with my two other friends by my side.
When we walked in, I heard a noise, like a thump. I knew I wasn't the only one, because everyone flinched at the noise. Alice started stepping back slowly. As she reached for the door, I felt a weird sensation, sleepiness maybe? Everything and everyone was spinning, I couldn't keep my eyes open. Everything was slipping away, and then it was just me and the darkness.
I woke up on the floor. Everything hurt and I tried to get up. The floor felt smooth and the air felt thick. When I finally got up and my vision adjusted I saw something in front of me I would never forget, a short, thin man, starring at me, giving me a blank expression. "Sit down", he commanded calmly. "No", I responded, trying to sound confident. "Very well them", he pulled what looked like a needle from a small pocket on the apron be was wearing. The suddenly, I was sitting on a chair. "What the h-", then he said it. "Don't worry it'll all be over soon".
