Campbell- ' Please save me, sister , save ( blood gushes out of his nose , eyes, and mouth ) SAVE ME.......... (he screams with a high-pitched voice with excruciating agony).

then Claire woke up screaming as her voice shattered the quietness of the room while she was panting heavily. her father and mother had to come over to her room to check if she was really OK. as soon as they barged into her room, seeing her tremble in fear ,she rushed and held both of them while her heartbeat was like her heart was going to fall off or collapse. Claire had a very poor sleeping habit because of the nightmares she had, so she sometimes slept in the class when lectures were going on. Claire unknowingly fell as sleep in the class while writing ✍️ then she woke up and found no one in the class. Then suddenly, she began to hear distant distinct voices coming from the back of the classroom.

whispering voice - Claire, I'm right here.

Claire - who are you ????

distorted voice - I'm your beloved twin brother.

the voice was never steady, but always changing from being extremely deep in a bizarre way to becoming very sweet and mild like the voice of a young boy. as Claire approached the back of the classroom, she saw nobody, then suddenly a sinister feeling began to rise from within her soul as an insidious effect occurred then she looked back gradually and saw her dead or deceased brother Campbell standing in front of her ,then as she attempted to scream, he grabbed her neck and throttled her intensely while she gasped for air, his face was bashed and covered in blood , his body was dripping with blood , then he said 'why did you leave me ?????, WHYYYYY!!!!!, so immediately she woke up panting heavily as everyone started staring at her weirdly. Claire felt so embarrassed, so after school over , her and her friends went to hang out. they ate and drank so much that Claire and some others had a hangover. her aunt saw her coming out of the bar 🍸 with her friends in a drunken state, so she rushed towards her and decided to take her back home to her parents. Claire was severely scolded and grounded for a day by her parents. the next day, her friends were surprised that Claire didn't come out.

Julia - Wait a minute , we're missing someone. where is Claire ???.

Calvin - that's true. Where is she ???

Jennifer - OK guys, I'll call her right away.

Claire was in her room , using her laptop 💻 when she received a call from her friend.

Jennifer - Hey Claire, where have you been ?, we've been waiting for you all day long.

Claire - well, I was grounded because of the hangover.

Jennifer - grounded (she exclaimed)!

Claire - yeah, but just for a day. I'll see you guys tomorrow. (she ends the call) .

Claire had her night prayer 🙏 then, after which she wore her chaplet and went to bed. as she was sleeping, she heard a strange distinct whispering voice, so suddenly she woke up as she saw her door 🚪 creak open , then she stood up and left her room, following the trail of the whisper. as she was going , she saw her brother's room open, and then her brother was standing , facing the window 🪟 .

Claire - Campbell, is that you ???

Campbell - why did you leave me ???. I wanted to stay by your side.

Claire - I never left you. You were the one who left me. You died.

Suddenly, an abrupt wind began whoosing, then her brother was no more, like he vanished alongside the wind. her sinister feeling began to heighten.

Claire - Campbell (she whispered shakily)

Campbell - I'm right at your back ( he whispered gently)

as she turned back, she was invaded by her brother , as he began to deep his bloody hand into her mouth while she was choking, then Claire woke up screaming 😱.

chapter 3: horoscope readings

Claire's parents decided to take Claire to the church priest to have some conversations.

Priest - how are you doing, Claire?

Claire - not so well, priest.

Priest - I'll need you to be 💯% open to me about what's happening to you.

Claire - alright.

Priest - your parents told me about your frequent screaming at night 🌙.

Claire - about that, you wouldn't want to hear it.

Priest - and they also spoke about you deluding yourself with seeing your dead brother in your dream trying to harm you.

Claire - I'm not deluding myself. It's true. Well, that's the crazy part. Whenever I close my eyes to sleep 😴 💤, I tend to see my dead brother calling out to me. Most times, trying to hurt me.

Priest - your parents want to be rest assured that you're not somehow under a demonic possession.

Claire - right, now I'm possessed.

Priest - I know you're not, so the only advice I have for you is to keep reading your bible and always pray. I'll have to pray for you before you leave, I hope the nightmares go away.

The church priest prayed for her, and then he anointed her crucifix pendant and told her to always put it on. For weeks, Claire had no bizarre dreams or nightmares about her brother. In school, they were told to go on a tour to any place so that in the last class they'll all talk about their tour experiences. Claire and her friends were trying to figure out where they could go on a tour. Johnny, as the one more popular with places, suggested that they should go on a tour to Halifax gibbet. according to the rest, Halifax gibbet was a no tour place because no one ever visited there for a tour as it was abandoned for years, but Johnny insisted that that was the reason he wanted them to go to a place where no one wanted to go to and be the first set of people to explore it. when Claire told her parents about Halifax gibbet, although they didn't consider it a good tour choice, they had no other option and couldn't stop her from going with her friends. the next day, Claire left with her friends to meet up with the bus 🚌 that would take them to Halifax gibbet. they spent five hours on the road before arriving there. the whole area was so dry and lonely, lurking with thick forest, and the sign post was very old and rusty. they all kept on going until they arrived at a wooden house 🏠 that looked abandoned and dilapidated. they went inside and decided to spend a night there before leaving the next day. they were all going through the building, even taking pictures 📸 📷 🖼 of it. they entered a room filled with ritualistic objects, talismans, and mascot, then Claire found a map, an astrological map that looked fusty. it was dusk 🌆 already. that night, they were all eating and drinking 🍸 so Claire brought out the astrological map. According to her, the astrological map was used for horoscope reading to delineate a person's character and personality and possible outcomes based on the position of the celestial objects when they were born or given birth to.
