Chapter 5

The twins vanished, taking Sarah with them, leaving us stunned silence, and confusion.

"What the fuck?"

Johnathan asked, looking around the room in shock.

"I don't know."

Max said, looking at him seriously.

"But we have to get out of here."

I nodded in agreement as I looked around the room frantically.

We had to find Sarah and get out of there before it was too late.

I heard footsteps echoing through the corridor outside as I walked towards the door.

"Wait!"

Max shouted, grabbing my arm and pulling me back.

"What's wrong?"

I asked him warily.

"We can't go out there."

He said, looking at me seriously.

"Why not?"

Johnathan asked him curiously.

"Because they'll kill us."

Max said, his voice trembling with fear.

"We have to get out of here."

I said, pulling my arm free from his grasp.

"We have to find Sarah."

I walked towards the door and pushed it open, then looked out into the corridor.

It was empty, but I could hear footsteps echoing through it as the twins walked away.

I turned back to Max and Johnathan and gestured towards the corridor.

"Let's go."

I followed the twins' footsteps through the empty corridors of the abandoned research facility, determined to find Sarah.

Johnathan and Max followed behind me, their footsteps echoing off the walls as we walked.

The air grew colder with every step, and the silence was oppressive.

I could feel a malevolent presence lurking in the shadows, watching us.

Suddenly, I heard a faint whispering in the distance.

I felt a chill run down my spine as I turned to Johnathan and Max.

"Do you hear that?"

I asked them warily.

They nodded in unison, their faces pale with fear.

"What is it?"

Johnathan asked me curiously.

"I don't know."

I said, looking around us nervously.

"But I think we should be careful."

I walked towards the sound, my heart pounding in my chest.

As I turned a corner, I saw a door with a sign that read "Authorized Personnel Only".

It was slightly ajar, and I could hear the whispering coming from inside.

I pushed it open slowly, revealing a room filled with rows of computers and laboratory equipment.

In the center of the room stood Sarah, her eyes glowing with an otherworldly light as she stared blankly ahead.

A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, its intentions unclear but clearly linked to Sarah.

"Sarah."

I called out to her, my voice shaking with fear.

She didn't respond, her eyes fixed on something in front of her.

I walked towards her, my heart pounding in my chest.

As I approached, I saw that she was staring at a computer screen in front of her.

It showed an image of a woman with long, curly brown hair and blue eyes.

I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized that it was Sarah's mother.

"What's going on?"

Johnathan asked me warily.

"I don't know."

I said, looking around the room nervously.

"But I think we should get out of here."

Suddenly, the computer screen flickered and went black, plunging us into darkness.

"What's happening?"

Max asked me fearfully.

I don't know."

I said, trying to see through the darkness.

Suddenly, the lights flickered back on, revealing a figure standing behind Sarah.

Sarah turned abruptly, her eyes glowing an eerie blue, as if in a trance.

She stared at me with an unseeing gaze, her face pale and clammy.

"Sarah."

I called out to her, my voice shaking with fear.

She didn't respond, her eyes fixed on something behind me.

I turned to see the shadowy figure standing behind me, its presence looming over us.

"What do you want?"

I asked it warily.

It didn't respond, its intentions unclear.

Suddenly, Sarah spoke up in a voice that wasn't her own.

"It's been a long time."

She said, her voice low and menacing.

"I've been waiting for you."

"Who are you?"

I asked her warily.

"I am the one who has been awakened."

She said, her eyes glowing brighter.

"And I will not be silenced."

Sarah's body levitated, her limbs moving in an unnatural, puppet-like dance.

I watched in horror as she floated higher and higher, her eyes fixed on me with an unseeing gaze.

"What's going on?"

Johnathan asked me fearfully.

"I don't know."

I said, my voice shaking with fear.

Suddenly, Sarah's body stopped moving, her eyes fixed on me with a fierce intensity.

"You should not have come here."

She said, her voice low and menacing.

"We'll leave now."

I said, trying to back away slowly.

But it was too late.

Sarah's body began to move again, her limbs twisting and contorting in ways that were humanly impossible.

I watched in horror as she floated towards me, her eyes fixed on me with an unseeing gaze.

"Sarah."

I called out to her, my voice shaking with fear.

But she didn't respond, her eyes fixed on something behind me.

I turned to see the shadowy figure standing behind me, its presence looming over us.

"What do you want?"

I asked it warily.

It didn't respond, its intentions unclear.

Suddenly, Sarah's body stopped moving, her eyes fixed on the figure behind me.

"Leave now."

She said, her voice low and menacing.

"And do not return."

The figure didn't respond, its intentions unclear.

Sarah collapsed to the floor, her eyes returning to normal as she gasped for air.

I rushed over to her, helping her sit up.

"Sarah, are you okay?"

I asked her fearfully.

She nodded, still gasping for air.

"What happened?"

Johnathan asked me, his voice shaking with fear.

"I don't know."

I said, my voice shaking with fear.

Suddenly, Sarah spoke up.

"I remember what happened."

She said, her voice weak.

"What happened?"

Johnathan asked her fearfully.

"I was possessed by something."

She said, her voice weak.

"What do you mean?"

I asked her warily.

"I don't know."

She said, her voice weak.

"But I think it's connected to the shadowy figure."

"What shadowy figure?"

Johnathan asked her fearfully.

"The one that's been following us."

I said, my voice shaking with fear.

Suddenly, Sarah spoke up again.

"I think I know how to get rid of it."

She said, her voice weak.

"How?"

I asked her warily.

"We need to find a way to destroy it."

She said, her voice weak.

"But how do we do that?"

Johnathan asked her fearfully.

"I don't know."

She said, her voice weak.

"But we have to try."

Sarah's eyes widened as she remembered an ancient ritual that might banish the entity.

"What is it?"

I asked her warily.

"There's an ancient ritual that might banish it."

She said, her voice weak.

"What ritual?"

Johnathan asked her fearfully.

"It's an ancient spell that was used to banish demons."

She said, her voice weak.

"Will it work?"

I asked her warily.

"I don't know."

She said, her voice weak.

"But it's worth a try."

"Where can we find the ritual?"

Johnathan asked her fearfully.

"It's in an ancient book."

She said, her voice weak.

"Where is the book?"

I asked her warily.

"It's in the library."

She said, her voice weak.

"Let's go."

As we reached the library, a mysterious figure blocked our path, eyes glowing ominously.

"Who are you?"

I asked it warily.

It didn't respond, its intentions unclear.

"What do you want?"

Sarah asked it fearfully.

It didn't respond, its intentions unclear.

Suddenly, it spoke up.

"You should not have come here."

It said, its voice low and menacing.

"Why not?"

I asked it warily.

"This is a place of ancient knowledge."

It said, its voice low and menacing.

"And you are not worthy of it."

"We'll leave now."

I said, trying to back away slowly.

But it was too late.
