Chapter 11: The big reveal
I waited till past eight before I left my house, I knew Stacy would've gone earlier. I got to the venue with a mask on and surprisingly they complimented it with my dress, that made my plan easier. I kept having this strong nudge that something was definitely off, there was only one way to find out and I was already taking it. The venue for this party was his house and almost all the students from my school and some neighbouring schools were invited. The house looked like a castle, no wonder the boy had an ill behavior, because of daddy's money. Anyways, an hour had passed by and so I decided to text Stacy, I asked her if she was at home and that I wanted to come get a book from her, to see if she would lie to me.... Apparently, she didn't disappoint, it broke my heart so.
Siju came out on a black tuxedo, barefooted with a microphone in his hand, he addressed the guests and they continued partying. Everything felt normal, so I concluded I was wrong. I went over to the restroom and when I had finished easing myself, I decided to take a look around the house, the place felt wonderful until I mistakenly entered a room, my heart came out of my mouth because WHAT!!!!
It was all a plan, a setup, we were going to be sacrificed, oh Shit! We better get out of here, I said to myself. I was still panicking when I heard some noise, so I hid behind one of the fancy portraits, just then a guy walked into the room with a girl and unfortunately they were making out, there a big circle in the middle of the room and then he kept on kissing her until he had laid her directly in the middle of the circle, he started to undress her from her leg, he tore the gown from the hem and made his way up to her waist, she was already carried away and didn't notice when he brought out a knife, he tore her laps with it and began drinking the blood as it was gushing out. She let out a loud scream, but nobody except myself and the monster could hear her. After he had drank to his fill, he began stabbing her, he stab her twelve times in total and when she had given up, he started to chant some weird things and her body turned right into ashes, he wiped out the blood stained and headed out of the room. My mouth was wide open as I watched the ashes slowly enter the ground till it was perfectly clean again. We had to get out of here, I immediately tried to reach Stacy, but her phone was switched off, I would never remain the same Stacy was killed tonight, I had to something, but where do I start from!
I was PANICKING!
I left the room and returned back to the party, I couldn't trust anyone anymore because of what I had just witnessed. I reached out to the punch pool to get myself a drink and there I got a glimpse of Stacy, I immediately dragged her out to a corner and while she was asking so many questions, I removed my mask and she gasped as if she had been just beeen revived back to life. "You lied to me" I fired, "how did you know find out about this"? Was her response. I continued, "It's all a setup Stacs, they're sacrificing ladies, I'll explain the rest when we get home, so let's go", just then Stacy withdrew her hand from me, " so we're back to this huh? It's just a party sun, a party! But you know what, I know what your problem is, you're just jealous because my boyfriend is a trust fund kid and you can't handle all this glamour", my response left her speechless. "No, you're wrong, I'm jealous because I love you, not as my friend or sister, but as woman, and right now, we're both in danger, the earlier we leave here, the better for us".
"You're bi? You didn't tell me,
Please Stacs let's go, I pleaded. And just as she was about to give me an answer, Siju joins In the little chat and he asks, "hey babe, having fun? "Yes, I am". He continued, "Who's this? Stacy went silent for a few seconds and her next words broke me down completely, "no one, I don't even know her". She's probably a guest, c'mon let's have fun", they danced back in the party and I stood there in shock, that my best friend of two years, would betray me for a guy she met on a site! Tears rolled down my cheeks like a tap that had a broken top. I wiped them off, and then the clock struck 11:30pm, the ladies were then gathered to a room that looked like we were gonna get massages, but it was all a setup. While the door was still open, I got the attention of the ladies and tired convincing them to leave and that we were all in danger and one of them responded,
"Dude, we're just having fun, what could go wrong? The rest of the ladies chorused "YEAH". As they were still murmuring, I looked up and realized some holes in the ceiling and then were opening, and so, I ran out the door and just as did that, it automatically closed itself. Something crazy was about to happen, but somehow Stacy wasn't part of the ladies in the room, I'm guessing she's with him. I returned back to the room where the guys were, but couldn't find anyone, where could they have gone to?
So, I reached for my phone and tired calling the cops, in hopes that they'd come rescue us. The doors were locked, no one was in sight and it was already 11:50, and just like in the movies, all rituals starts by twelve, but why was the other girl brutally murdered before time?
Suddenly, I heard a loud scream, STACY! I followed the sound and got to a room, kicked the door open and there Stacy was, on the floor bleeding, siju was also in there with a knife, as her tried to get closer, I punched him in the face, the knife fell from his hand and I picked it, I began to stab him and Stacy was just screaming continuously. I stabbed him twenty one times in total, not just for trying to kill Stacy, but for all the hurt he had caused me! He had already died but Stacy was still screaming, so I tried calming her down, her leg was bleeding profusely as that was where he pierced her with the knife.
I tried helping Stacy up, but she couldn't bear the pain of standing and I couldn't leave her behind, she was so scared and I was extremely worried about the other girls.
