The Soul Eaters

There's a local legend around my town, it goes "anyone who's ever set foot inside the walls of the old plant and plans to stay the night is frightened to the point they go running out before dusk" or so that's what our parents told us.

My guess was they just told us that to keep up away from it, so I've never really thought much of it. That is until the day my friend Anna approached me before class, she's always been a a but crazy, sneaking out at night and stuff like that. So I was nervous when she walks up to me with a huge grin on her face, She said "remember the old ghost stories out parents use to tell us as kids about the old factory? I've been thinking and kinda want to see if they're true." "Are you out of your mind? There is some truth to myths and legends you know." "I know that, but a ghost haunting a factory? How clichè. Like we used to say, just stupid stories to keep us away. And besides Jonah, your coming with me one way or another." "Fine, when are we going?" "Tonight, so be ready, see ya at 8:00"

With that sentence said, she and her long blonde hair skipped away from me.

So, later that night before I left out to go to the place, I called Brad, he's a friend of mine and I told him where I was going and to call me in the morning about 9:00 if I didn't call him by then, and if I didn't answer to come find me. He called me stupid for doing this but inevitably agreed to make sure I got out ok.

So I stumble up to the factory and Anna hops down off the wall leading into it and runs over and gives me a hug and tells me thanks for coming.

"What's with the bag?" I asked her "it's some food and a couple bottles of water and a flashlight." "Why a flashlight?" "Well, we're not going to sit in the same spot for 12 hours are we?" "Well no." Then we're going need to see where we're walking." She saunters towards the door, "come on Jonah!" She shouts at me, after a bit of hesitation I head in behind her.

"This looks like a nice spot to sleep tonight" she said as she pointed to an empty room. "Yea" I said. She takes out a little blanket from her duffle bad and she spreads it out along the floor.

We sit there for a little while waiting for it to get dark and as soon as it did she grabs a flashlight and begins to head up to the second floor. We wander around for awhile and all of a sudden she stops. "Did you hear that?" She asked "hear what?" "It was kinda sounded like something being dragged." "Well let's go see what it is then, I didn't hear anything though." We head into this room at the end of the corridor we were walking down, it had an eerie feel to it. "I don't like this" I said. "It's fine, let's just look around for a minute then we can go back downstairs." "Alright" we started looking in the desks and at the walls, nothing too interesting besides some creaking here and there. Then suddenly the door leading into the room slammed shut. Anna freaks and drops the flashlight, she reaches over and grabs me scareing me to the point I nearly screamed. Then the flashlight flickers off. We ran to where we hoped the door was but hit a wall. Then out of nowhere a bony hand lands on my shoulder and throws me across the room. I land against the ground with a thud, out of nowhere the lights in the room turn on and this thing is staring at Anna, it appeared as if it was 6 feet tall, it's practically hovering above her. I get up and sprint at it hoping I could take it to the ground, as soon as I make contact with it I'm thrown across the room and my impact on the wall knocks a hole in it, I'm paralyzed from fear, I scream for Anna but to no avail. She won't break gaze with the creature, it grabs her head and throws her down. I lunge at it one more time and it hits me in the leg breaking it knocking me to the ground. I lye there in agonizing pain watching this thing lower itself towards Anna while stars at her. With what I guess is it's hand is reaching out close to her chest, it's bony fingers appear as if they morph into needles and it stabs them into her heart. A blue glow comes out and twists up it's arm into it's mouth. It then stands up, somehow looking more human than before it's eyes are like are now white beads, I try to crawl to the door but it gets Infront of me before Im even close to it. The thing picks me up it slams me against the wall and I see it's eyes clearly now, staring at me, I can't look away, it's mystifying, but I catch myself and try to fight it, it smashes my head against the wall, I can't move now my body feals limp, it traces it's dagger like fingers around my heart. Then in one swift motion, I can feel my life being sucked away. In my last second I hear it's weak raspy voice say "you're one of us now"

My death isn't a thrilling conclusion or a heroic end or anything like that, I'm killed, atleast my mortal body is. But that's not my end. the way you've came across my story is either you've read it or heard it and you think this is just another crappy tale because I do die at the end. You couldn't be anymore wrong, you see, when my soul was sucked from my body, it died however my soul didn't, let's say I have the ability to temporarily possess someone with the rule being I have to make my presence known and if it's the first time I have to write my story. Let me explain a little better, the story of the haunted factory was told to me and my friends as kids, and say this thing possessed somebody and created it knowing it would lure me in or some dumb kid or teenager or someone. So to clear things up that building wasn't haunted, but rather a meeting ground for me and my newly found friend. So the legend we were told lead me and Anna there, and that's how I am what I am, a soul floating around spreading my "curse" and now that you've heard my story, let me tell you that the one who got me waited many years before it could feast again, I however am not as patent. Also, I want you to understand, it's all a set of circumstances leading up to the event creating us, and now that you understand that and know we can roam around under the stimulation that I can only "collect" people when they know we're real. And I've just explained how I came to be and am spreading my story. I just have two things left to say to make this easier to the both of us. Before you carry on to the next sentence make sure you're alone, don't want too many "collections" in one night. Now that that's out of the way, just one more thing, "Slowly turn around, don't run or scream, I won't hurt you, trust me, it's easier that way."
