My Gothic Story 3

A cold gust of wind blew against my cheeks. There was a noise, I looked up and there was drips of blood falling onto the hollow floor coming from the echoing ceiling. It was a rough night, the stars hid away behind the dull grey clouds. There was a bright full moon shinning in the clear night sky. My voiceless shadow stumbled after me as I followed the footsteps of an unknown creature lurking in the dark and gloomy woods…

It all started when I was hovering outside of an old lofty Victorian hotel. I knocked “three” times waiting for someone to come and greet me and show me to a room, but nobody answered and the door opened itself; at first I thought it was the wind but the air was as still as an untouched glass of water. I went inside and searched for a room, when i found one I unpacked my things, but when I put my hairbrush down onto the bedside table I stared into the mirror and there was a reflection of an wrinkly old man, I looked around but there was nobody insight. I felt a chill and my hairs stood on end. The weather took a turn for the worse. I fell asleep.

I was very confused and tired, so I thought that this was a nightmare, but the hotel staff told me I was asleep for days – but how could I of been? I only arrived last night; so I had thought. I didn’t understand what was happening.

The next morning i went down to breakfast. A man was sitting at the table staring at me as if he wanted something from me. He had rather long pointy teeth and a white powdery face. He gazed at me in a very uncomfortable way. I backed away slowly but he appeared right in front of me, his wrinkly gnarled hands grabbed me strongly, not letting go…

He sat me down, tied me to a chair and forced a gag into my mouth. He bared his teeth and started dribbling. At first I thought it was a joke, I giggled but then he looked at me sharply with his evil eyes. He was circling me as if I something he wanted and had been searching for me, for years. He sprang upon me, and grasped my arm. After a while he started licking me. Suddenly hairs grew upon his face, a snout grew and his clothes was ripping and his arms and legs were covered in hairs. Sweat was dripping from my face, my heart was pounding! When he let out HUGE howl, a ring of fire was surrounding me, I was pleading for my life and I was thinking that this was the end of my life, but it wasn’t, it was a new beginning…..
