Writing - To Narrate, Horror Story

  Hi readers! In Miss McLeod's writing in the past 2 weeks, our group made narrative stories (which is the writing topic for the rest of this term) 😁. For this writing, we all got to choose the genre that our stories are going to be based on, the genre's were: Horror, Science-fiction, Action, Mystery, Adventure and Fantasy, and I chose Horror. I found this piece of writing very fun to write and I enjoyed the process a lot 😌. Here is my writing, please tell me if you found this writing scary or not 😊:

The Shadow

She starts sprinting, regretting the decision to go on a midnight stroll, the

demon was gliding on the sidewalk, right behind her. There was no one in sight

to call for help, everyone was asleep in their homes. The demon starts laughing

wickedly and a cruel smile starts forming from eye to eye. Alice tried to

scream but she couldn’t, only a croaky groan came out. The demon’s big green

eyes glowed red and maliciously reached for Alice’s shadow, disappearing into

it.

 She sprinted back home, her face frozen in horror, not knowing how to react

to what just happened. As she sprinted, she felt like someone was watching her

, but she was too terrified to look back. She reached the driveway, took out

her keys and hurriedly took out her keys from her trouser pocket, she

fumbled as she opened the front door. Alice wondered if she should tell her

mother but decided not to, why would she believe her, she would just think

that she is crazy. 

 Alice walked into her room and got into bed, pulling the covers up until they

were right under her eyes. . . she realized she was frozen in place, she wanted

to move but she couldn’t, it was like there was some pressure pushing her down

and freezing her. Alice looked around her room, at least she could move her

eyes, she could see a silhouette of someone in her room, it was the demon she

had seen before. She knew she couldn’t do anything so she closed her eyes and

tried to go back to sleep.

 Alice woke up the next morning, determined to get the demon away from her,

as she ate breakfast, she strategized, how can she get this demon away from

her? It was Sunday so she had a whole day to figure out a plan and execute it.

After eating breakfast, she decided to search up different ways to get rid of

paranormal things, and there it was, go and ask a psychic for help! There was a

local psychic in her town so this was perfect. She packed her bag with her

pocket money and told her mum she was heading out for a bit.

 Then, a deep voice popped into her head.

   “Heading to the local psychic I presume”. The voice said.

   “Who are you?!”. Alice said, suspecting it was the demon from before, the

people in the streets stared at her because it looked like she was talking to

herself.

   “I’m that demon from before, the one that was chasing you, I’m Abigor”.

   “Well, whatever, get out of my head!”. Alice says.

   “I’m not in your head, I’m in your shadow!”. Abigor says.

 Alice then realized why the demon jumped into her shadow, he could survive in

there, it wasn’t in the sun.

 After a while of walking, Alice reached the local psychic. She stepped into the

mysterious place and was hit by a strong smell.

   “Well, hello there, Alice”. 

   “Hi Eos”. Alice replied.

   “What do you need today?”.

  Alice then begins telling Eos about her problem, Eos nods understandingly.

   “So, if you’re right, this demon is probably a god in the demon realm, if so, I

have the perfect way to put him back to where he belongs”.

   “Okay!”. Alice says as she smiles happily. 

 

 Eos pulls out an orb from a cupboard which looks like there is a purple storm

inside it.

 

   “This should do.” She said as Alice watched her out of curiosity.”This is an

orb that attracts demons and teleports them to the demon realm, don’t worry,

even though demons know what this is for, they will always be attracted to it”.

Eos says confidently as Abigor slowly creeps out of Alice’s shadow.

   “See?”. 

Abigor then reaches towards the trap and gets sucked into it, but then, he

gives Alice a telepathic message.

   “Goodbye, daughter”. He says as an expression of shock creeps across Alice’s

face.
