“He had warned her about the book-Now it was too late”
“Uncle” Kristina called out in the dark hallway of her Uncle’s big mansion that seemed empty. Kristina had a feeling that something wasn’t right about the mansion and was always snooping just to figure out what it was. Whenever she would get caught by anyone she would just say “Oh I am just exploring with my imaginary friend” and they would tell her to “Go on your way then” or “Another room now my dear” She loved to find new hidden secrets and always thought it was cool. Nonetheless there was one room she was forbidden to go in for any reason what so ever.
Peeking into the room that was forbidden she looked around her Uncle’s study “Uncle” she called out “Are you in here?” Kristina then jumped a little hearing something that sounded like books and papers falling. “Uncle?” she asked stepping in wondering what was going on. ‘Where could he be and what was that noise’ she thought to herself while quietly walking around his study which seemed to be the largest part of the whole house. Of course with a study that big, there would have been a window that let in a draft, because Kristina shivered feeling a cold breeze.
When Kristina got to the aisle she saw books on the ground with papers covered in red blood ink or something similar to it. When she looked up she saw a book on the bookcase by itself and went over to look at it. ‘Why would only one book stay while others had fallen’ Kristina wondered and pulling the book from the shelf but realized it seemed to be stuck there. She finally was able to pull it off the shelf after moments of tugging it. Then she saw a pair of wide eyes staring at her as a black, thin, dead looking hand let go of the book. Seeing those wide crazy eyes, and then noticing the creature grinning, as if something was going to happen to her.
The creature faded away and she looked down at the book ‘Death-Wish’ the book read in Latin. It was a good thing her Uncle knew Latin and taught her how to read it. She then realized the creature’s eyes that she saw fade away was now on the face of the book with its big sharp teeth smile. Kristina couldn’t keep quiet no longer and let out a high pitch, bloody scream. The book had then bit her arm for a few moments while she struggled and struggled to get loose. Finally the book had let go and fallen to the floor.
But for some reason it was going after her and she wasn’t about to let it get her. Even though the pain from seeing the teeth marks where the creature bit her and the blood running down, she didn’t scream again or cry very much. ‘Pain, pain, so much pain; I don’t feel so good’ Just as she was about to faint, her uncle came in and caught her “Kristina? Kristina, are you okay?” Her Uncle Vlad asked. “Uncle, what is that thing?” Kristina asked.
Her Uncle scanned the room seeing the book with its evil and terrifying face. “I don’t want you to go near that book again. Do you hear me, Kristina promise me you won’t go near that book ever again.” Her Uncle spoke and hearing her say “What a pretty white light, I can see mother and she is smiling.” Kristina smiled seeing her mother only through her eyes and then her eyes closed. “Kristina? Kristina! Stay with me Kristina, stay with me” was all Kristina could hear her Uncle say.
“Oh no” Her Uncle said seeing the blood and bite marks on her arm close to her wrist. Uncle Vlad finally realized even though he warned his niece to never go near that book again. That now it was too late and she was gone forever up in the heavens with her mother who died the same way almost 14 years ago.
