person screaming

“Somebody help!”

A curdling scream came from a young girl’s lips.

“Somebody, please! Help me!”

The young girl thrashed and jolted in her restraints. She was bound to a metal chair and was screaming at the top of her lungs.

Her blonde hair was stuck to her face as sweat came beaming down her face, and tears started to well up in her bright green eyes.  Her pale face seemed balmy as she began to breathe heavily in fear.

“Somebody please…” She choked on her tears as she started to feel hopeless. “Help me…”

The room was cold and dimly lit. There was no other furniture but the metal chair. The steel sent an uncomfortable shiver down the young girl’s body as she cried out into the room. The interior was confined with stone walls and visible cracks in certain edges of the surface of the eerie room.

Just as the young girl was sobbing and crying for help, a creak of a door opening sounded behind the young adolescent. There was a momentary bright light that engulfed the marble room for a split second before the door closed shut again, and the room became dark and dreary.

The girl started to panic and started to kick and scream again.

“No! Someone, please! HELP!”

She violently withered in her seat and sobbed loudly. With a brutal jolt, a large hand gripped her by the throat, taking the air out of her body. She tried to forcefully suck in air as the enormous living thing came around from behind her, keeping his claws around her neck.

He appeared to the terrified woman as he lifted her off the floor with the steel chair and started to squeeze her neck even tighter. His face was rigid chilling. He had dark longhorns that came from his head, and his eyes were pitched black. His fangs protruded from his mouth as he sneered at the young women.

He brought the almost lifeless women down to meet his gaunt but demonic face.

“Give me your soul…” The demon’s voice was croaky and deadly deep. He opened his mouth in such an inhuman way that it crept up to his broad chest. The young girl tried to scream, but her soul was being sucked from her body. The demon hoisted her higher into the air before letting her go. The metal chair crashed to the floor.

A piercing scream and eerie noises echoed in the room. The body of the young girl was now slumped into the metal chair, and she was nothing but a deeply rotted corpse.
