Chapter 51: Haunted room
Abrielle felt something was wrong with this room. Her eyes darted behind her but there was nothing there. What was that? She wondered. It felt like something was touching her. A very cold hand.
She shrugged off the feeling and drew her attention to the empty chest in front of her. There was something weird about it. She reached out to knock at the bottom to check if it was hollow but doubt that was the case.
Cedric’s men had most likely checked it out and they didn’t find anything. Abrielle knocked at the bottom and it was rock solid. A groan of frustration left her lips.
There was nothing here but she kept on having this feeling something was wrong about the chest. She straightened up her back and then glanced out through the small window. "Where is it?" She mumbled.
She snapped her head towards the chest again when she felt that same cold feeling close to her face, this time in the direction of the chest. "Death is the beginning of life " it whispered with an eerie voice that gave her goosebumps.
The room temperature plummeted, now she was sure something was there and it was trying to communicate with her. Was it a ghoul? She wondered remembering those horrible monsters that hunt the living and the dead to devour their souls.
She shook her head, it could not be a ghoul, they were only found at the Netherlands borderline which were forests close to the other world.
Ghouls were wandering or evil spirits that refused to go to the other world. After staying in this world for so long they slowly lose their memories and previous selves and are reborn as ghouls.
Was it a vengeful wandering spirit that was here? She wondered. Abrielle hesitantly called out a name. "Lily," that was the name of Sarah’s roommate she killed.
