This week we started working in a ghost story.Each member of the group done one chapter of minimum 200 words. I think this activity is a good idea to start working ghost stories.
CHAPTER 1, the lonely night
It was a stormy night of summer of 1798. Nathan was in a Opera in Orlando. He was with his girlfriend Tracy Morton. They were having a good time. It was raining but they did not care. Tracy said to Nathan that she felt very bad and she decided to return home. Tracy was living in Orange center and that was very near from the concert. A few days later Nathan decided to visit Tracy. Because, she did not pick the phone. He rang the doorbell and no one answered him.
He was frightened. What happened to Tracy? He called to the police. No one answered him. He decided to return home. It was strange. When he arrived he remembered that he did not saw any person on the street that day, that was very strange. He looked to the window and he did not see persons. He did not understand anything. He went out to the street to search for someone. But he was completely alone. Where is all the people he exclaimed?
Days later he found one man. The man told him to go after him, that he knew where is all the people. Nathan is scared but followed the man.
CHAPTER 2, Adair
So there he was, in the middle of Hal Scott Regional Preserve and Park with a really weird man that was sure they were near other people. He dressed with expensive clothes but his looking, hair and face where confusing; had he stolen those clothes and he was just a poor crazy man? Anyway, Nathan was not going to ask him about that, he was too much scared about his reaction.
– You sure where we are? – Nathan asked him really tired of walking and just seeing trees around, not people.
-You kid, just follow me. I am the leader.
– Leader of what? – He replied, yes Nathan thought, he was probably out of his mind.
– Leader of you and I. I mean, you are younger than I am so I guide you. – He said without looking back to Nathan and keeping walking.
While they walked, probably lost Nathan asked him self how to escape from that man. He has probably escaped from a madhouse, maybe he was just dreaming, he did not think so, it looked so real. But, where everybody was? He was even more afraid with that man than alone, his gray eyes were unusual, and they had a bloody frightening looking.
– You have not even told me your name… – Nathan said, he wanted him to be kind to him and like this escaping back to Orlando without the man to kill him.
– Who cares?
– I do. We… I mean… We are spending time together, you should tell me.
– You know nothing right? You are just a stupid young boy.
– Maybe if you tell me what is going on, who you are, where we are going I would be less stupid! – Nathan was really angry and forgot who he was talking to, he forgot how scared he was about that man and did not care for some seconds about his reaction.
– You come down. Everything to it’s time. I do not want to be killed, do you? – he for first turned back to Nathan while he talked.
– God, god, god. Killed? Who is killing me? You? Because you are the only one around, around or everywhere! Dam who knows if there is anyone anywhere? Maybe there is no one left apart from us.
– Stop it! You are so annoying. I’m telling you my name if you stop asking. I promise you I am telling to you everything you want to know when we arrive there. You can call me Adair. But right now just be in silence.
Nathan did not respond.
Adair? What kind of name was that? He was not surprised, that man could not have a usual name.
CHAPTER 3, kissing Tracy
Adair and Nathan still go into the woods. They find clothes. They do not know why. They had spent lots of hours walking.
-Who are this clothes from? – Nathan said trying to grab them.
-Are you mad? What if this is a trick? – Adair grabbed Nathan’s hand violently stopping him from touching the clothes.
-Trick? From who?
-From who wishes to kill you. – Adair replayed, a lightning made the dark sky shine horribly.
-No one wants to kill me! I am just a usual kid. – Nathan cried.
Nathan and Adair walked to a cave and they slept there. With the first light of the day Nathan awakes. He turned back and where the night before there was Adair there was someone, but it was not Adair. Nathan was really scared, that body was very familiar to him. A noise of glasses sound behind him, he turned back, the cave was very deep and dark, his legs shivered.
Then a voice came from where the asleep body was lying. Nathan had a fast thought; Adair found a survival as they where and bought him there while he was looking for food.
–Come with me… Come with me Nathan… – the body whispered. Nathan knew who was that voice from, but he could not understand what she was doing there. He ran to her.
-Tracy! Tracy I thoughted you where… – When he was really near to her he could see her. See that she was not Tracy, she was, but her brown hair had turned to gray. Her shining green eyes were now sky colour. What used to be brown skin was now pale skin. Her eyes were lost.
-Come Nathan. Go on, kiss me, you will make my sickness go away. – She was possessed Nathan thought, he should kiss her, that was probably the way to get her back.
Nathan bend down and closed his eyes. He had to kiss her but she had an insane looking. He wished she got well. When his lips where about to kiss her someone pushed him off.
-Nathan! You almost kill yourself! She is not who you think. – The person who had pushed him was Adair.
-NATHAAAAAN! Kiss me now. – Tracy shouted with a demon voice. She was definitely out of her mind and possessed.
-Nathan she is not her. He is trying to make you die. – Adair grabbed Nathan, he could not escape from his hands, Adair was very strong.
-Tracy! Tracy! – Nathan cried and shouted while Adair run away with him in his hands.
When they where far from the cave Adair stopped and letted Nathan free from his arms.
-It’s time to tell you the true. – He said with a sad face.
-Who was it? Why is Tracy possessed? We should go and save her!
-She is dead, Zeus replied her and sended her here to make you kiss her and that way you would have gone to the Olympus. I lied, my name was not Adair, my real name is Prometheus. I escaped from Zeus punishment and got the electricity from the Olympus, you humans, my sons, need the electricity for improving your lifes. When Zeus realized I had stolen it, he went crazy of anger and decided to exterminate human life. You are the only survivor and he wants to kill you.
CHAPTER 4,
Nathan goes to Olympus to fight against Zeus and avenge the death of his beloved but, what he does not know is that if he dies in battle the entire human race will live in misery and be tortured for eternity in hell.
So Adair took Nathan to the Olympus there Zeus was already waiting for him and hit the first blow he threw a rale that Nathan was destroyed, did not take time to react. Zeus as a punishment for his defeat, forced him to see how his race suffered and died in different ways until eternity.
