The cursed game... - part 23 the illusion

Noah tries to make himself stable . He already losed one of his life. He closes his eyes in fear. Suddenly he hears voices of the other players , all of them are in trouble. Suddenly he hears Alex's voice.

Alex: come on Noah! See the unseen!

Naoh grabs his courage and shuts his eyes open. But suddenly the banging sounds of the things around, the swirling of the room like a rollercoaster, were all gone.

Noah: it's just a hallucination.

Henry: this house plays with your mind.

Noah reaches to the door but he was locked.

Noah: I can't open it!

Emma: wait for a while! We need to find others.

Emma searches for rest of the players. She first finds Jay.

Jay goes to another room upstairs. As he entered the room things seemed normal. He was focused on finding a clue. He saw something glowing beneath the bed. As he moved down beneath the bed it was a Firefly but soon it converted into a living dead body. It had blood all around his body dropping down to the floor and his bony skull was visible. Which made it even more terrible. He also had an axe in his hands and tried to chase Jay. Jay moved away as fast as he could but as soon as he turned around the room was on fire. He removed his sword but it disappeared. And he had no way out. So Jay was trapped in a room on fire with a living dead body with an axe to attack him. Jay hopped around the room but the flame was too high. The fire was starving for Jay's body to melt into bones and turn the bones into ash. And the living dead was thirsty for Jay's blood and cut him down into pieces.

Jay hears the voices of the players. he hears Clara.

Clara: Jay! There must be a solution.!

Jay looks around the room the flames are high , the room is filled with smoke . He can barely see anything. And on the top of that there's a monster. He had already losted two of his lives . Finally Jay's eyes are fixed on a photo frame hanging on the wall. It's a picture of the sea in which a man is drowning and he's staring right at Jay. As if he's calling for help. Jay notices that the ocean waves are moving in the frame. Jay gets an idea . He stands right in the front of the frame and teases the monster. The monster swings his axe to hit Jay but at the right moment Jay moves away. The axe gets hitted in the frame. The glass of the frame brakes. The water floods out of the frame and fills the room. The fire goes off. And the man in the frame is killed by the monster. But now the room starts drowning. Jay makes his way to the door and kicks it harder and the door bangs open with all the water filled in the room. Jay lies on the floor unconscious as he stands up. Everything is gone. There are no traces of water or the monster in that room. Neither Jay is wet. He moves out to find the rest of them. He moves along the hallway. He hears Noah shouting for help. He reaches one of the doors he kicks open it. Noah comes out. They further turn to find the way to the living room as it was all dark.

Alice moves towards the main door of the house which headed to the porch and a garden. But to her surprise as soon as she opens the door ,there's an another door and it goes on. She opens the doors but it doesn't end . It seemed like she was trapped. She couldn't reach the porch and the outer garden. She was disgusted. She could hear whisperings which was one of her phobia. She could hear people judgements on her, she was a monster , she was alone, and all the insults she heard by the people. She looked around. The house turned even darker and it gave her the rememberance of the fun fair ride . She rapped hers hands around her ears. Her eyes turned red in anger. Her nose started to bleed. She gathers her courage to face them. She removes her hands around her ears.

Alice:Hey!..... Stop it! .....Cowards!.... Come in front of me! I'm not afraid!(tightening her fists by her side)

The comments turn into a laughter. And the laughter starts to echo. The sound grows louder .

Alice: don't try to piss me off....!(shouting)

The sorroundings turned darker and the voices shun away. She stands there in silence. She finds herself hallucinating. She looks at the door. She grabs the knob to open and it opens up. But things were not like before the garden was all dryed up it was deserted. But suddenly she hears the sound of a creature from the windows in the side. She moves towards it and as she looks at the window confused. A zombie claded with blood bangs to the window and breaks the glass and screams to her face. Alice falls back to the floor in terror. But as she tries to stand up she finds that the zombies were entering in the house. She drags herself backwards. She hurted her leg.

Alice: aaish! I left the door open!

She removes her sword but the sword disappears. The zombie attacks on her. She loses a life. And then appears to the same place again.

Alice: what the heck!

Alice runs around to distract and defend herself. She throws the things around to shred the zombies away.

Alice: why the hell the swords don't work!?(running and jumping around)

Alice hears the voices of the players.

Henry: Al! Don't lose your mind! Use the powers!

Alice stops running, feeling disgusted.

Alice: I'm such...a.....fool!!(clenching her fists to her face)

She turns around and uses her powers. She starts to tear the zombies into pieces. The blood splashes all around. But the zombies are endless.

Jay and Noah reach to her that moment. They see her fighting and running and jumping. .she's tired. Jay calls from behind.

Jay: Alice!?

Alice turns around.

Jay: what are you doing?(moving towards Alice)

Alice: can't you see!
She turns back and points but.. everything is gone. She's standing all alone.

Alice: huh! ? Where are they.?

Jay: you need a psychiatrist!

Alice: do you think I'm insane?

Jay: absolutely! Well you are bleeding!

He lays his hand to wipe the blood. But Noah gives a fake cough.

Noah: uhm..uhm..

Alice: I'm fine.(steps back)

She wipes the blood.

Noah:um.. well, I could see it! Alice ,were it zombies?

Alice nods.

Alice:(looking towards Jay) who needs a psychiatrist!?
