“Go to your room Blaire” mum shouted.
I ran upwards, locked myself in my room and cried my heart out. Mom always scolds me even for the mistakes that I haven’t done. She sees no flaws in my sister. For her Ethie is the most innocent girl, only if she could see how evil Ethie is.
I skipped dinner and spent another two hours crying in my room. Why can’t mum see Ethie’s cruel behaviour towards me? She yells only at me even for something that Ethie has done, only I’m to be blamed. No one cares about me or how I feel. I’m a nonentity at home. Mum and Ethie always demeans me. I wish I didn’t exist. I wish I somehow disappear, or even better, I wish I die. Maybe then they’ll realise my worth, when I’ll no more be there around them. I think I should poison myself and put an end to this worthless life. But it’ll be palpable if I poison myself. They will obviously come to know that I committed suicide and I don’t want that. I don’t want anyone to hate me even more because of suicide. I wish I die in some accident.
What about suicide that appears like an accident? Yeah, that’ll be perfect. Everyone will think that it was an accident and no one’s thought would ever linger towards suicide.
I sat up straight and placed my laptop on my lap. Fingers cluttered through the keyboard as I typed ‘How To Commit Suicide That Looks Like An Accident’ and within no seconds YouTube showed me several results related to my search. I clicked on the very first video.
‘Suicide Is Never An Option’ the youtuber began and I stopped the video right there. I want to know ways to kill myself and make it look like an accident, don’t want free and useless advice as such, I’ve had enough of my life now. I went through like twenty videos but none of them were helpful to me. “Okay so this is going to be the last video and if this isn’t what I’m looking for, then I’m simply going to poison myself, I don’t care what people have to think about me, I’ll be dead after all and I promise to haunt all these people who made my life a living hell.
I clicked on the video and I’m not surprised that it was exactly same as all those other twenty videos were.
“Damn” I cursed out of frustration. YouTube is useless, I thought. Before taking an exist from YouTube, there was this one clip that caught my eye. It was completely different from the topic I searched.
< This Spell Will Turn You Into A Vampire >
‘Oh yeah, only if they were real right?’ I thought to myself and kept the laptop aside.
I’m tired and bored at the same time. It’s 11:55 pm and watching television will completely be a bad idea as they’ll only show the Telebrands ad and stuff like that and there’s no way I’m talking to any of my family members. But what to do now? How to kill this boredom? I’m not feeling sleepy at all. Well sleep doesn’t always easily occur to me.
Since I was extremely bored, I grabbed my laptop again and watched several videos on YouTube but still I wasn’t feeling sleepy. ‘Now what?’ I questioned myself. Okay let’s just watch that Vampire Spell video. Let’s see how much stupid the video can get.
I typed Vampire Spell on the search bar and there you go, it was the very first video < This Spell Will Turn You Into A Vampire > ‘Okay let’s start then’ I clicked on the play button. Wow it’s funny how a fake video can get millions of views and thousands of likes. It’s got a spooky background music. No voice but just the music and writing. It says :
“SO YOU WANT TO BECOME A VAMPIRE? IN ORDER TO BE A VAMPIRE, YOU WILL HAVE TO PERFORM A FIVE THOUSAND YEAR OLD RITUAL. JUST CHANT THIS SPELL THRICE UNDER AN OPEN SKY AT NIGHT.
MOONLIGHT DRAW ME IN,
LET MY BODY FEEL NO PAIN,
DRAW ME IN YOUR DARKNESS”
Stop! Stop! Stop! I could feel my brain yell and so I obeyed. Seriously, how can this video get thousands of likes? I mean who believes in such things? Whatever I should just try to sleep. I layed in bed, trying to sleep but the moment I closed my eyes, the cries of cat made me sit up straight. Most of the people believe that a cat cries at night when someone is going to die. But that’s all superstitious, according to me. If a cat is crying it simply means that she’s in a pain or some trouble and nothing else. I peeped out of the window, poor kitten had her hand trapped in bike’s engine. See, she’s crying because she’s in pain, no other reason. I have to help her. Poor cat was struggling hard to be free.
“Don’t worry catto, I’m here to help you. You’ll be free” I said to the kitten and bent down to help her, but before I could even touch her, she removed her hand on her own from the engine and ran away. “Naughty cat” I giggled.
I looked up at the dark sky where the moon shined bright. I wonder if the moon has always been shining this bright or has God increased it’s brightness today?
And then suddenly, don’t know how, but I remembered that spell, that Vampire Spell. And don’t know why but I felt the urge to give it a try. I know it’s fake and stupid but now that I’m out at this hour, I want to give it a try. Maybe just for time pass but I want to try. I looked up at the moon and closed my eyes and then began to chant the spell –
Moonlight draw me in,
Let my body feel no pain,
Draw me in your darkness.
