CONTEST WINNER
CABIN OF TERROR JUMPS FROM PAGE 23
“Somebody help! Luna please come help me!” He
cried and pleaded. A bright red light entered the cab-
in along with a shadow.
“Don’t be scared. We won’t hurt you” A raspy voice
said. Oliver looked into the light and lost himself. His
soul was about to be consumed into the bad energy.
Luna heard the screams of Oliver from far away
that begged for help desperately. She ran towards
the cabin and felt like she was sinking into the
ground and that she couldn’t move. Someone pulled
her out of the ground and when she turned around
to see who it was, she found out that it was an old
man with his eyes all white. “You children don’t be-
long here. You need to leave,” he said.
Luna wanting to save Oliver she asked, “What can
I do? What is happening?”.
“You are the only one who could save us. Save
your friend. Close the portal to the other side where
the red lights are. The portal is in the cabin,” The old
man said. Luna ran towards the cabin and saw that
Oliver was going to the red lights.
Luna screamed, “Oliver doesn’t go in there! It’s me,
Luna. Let’s go home.” The shadow reappeared by
the cabin facing Luna.
“You can’t go home. You are already home. Join
us,” the raspy voice said. The children then ap-
peared from behind her trapping her between the
shadow and the cabin. She had nowhere to go.
At that moment, Luna figured everything out. This
whole thing was the bad energy of the town from the
legend told by her ancestors.
“Why are you doing this? Let him go. Take me
instead,” Luna said without thinking. The shadow
laughed.
“You can join us. You just have to let us into your
mind,” the raspy voice said. Luna knew what she
needed to do. She needed to burn the cabin. With
Oliver inside, she had to defeat the shadow first.
“You feed on souls to be stronger and come into
the earth as flesh and bone. You can only take souls
if we let you into our minds. I won’t let you into my
mind. I’m not scared of you,” Luna said. The shad-
ow then disappeared and Oliver stopped walking to-
ward the red lights. She grabbed Oliver and lay him
down behind a tree. She didn’t know for how long
the shadow was going to be gone, so she hurried to
burn the cabin.
While the cabin was burning, she screamed,
“We are not scared. We are not letting you into our
minds. The bad energy is going away.” The shadow
and a group of dead people appeared.
“I will come back for you only, Luna,” the raspy
voice said. Luna believed that the souls were now
at peace.
All the shadowy figures disappeared and Oliver
woke up. They went running into town and told
everyone what had happened and where all the
missing people were. Then the villagers went into
the forest and there was no evidence of what had
happened. They all looked at each other confused.
They quickly realized that is was all a trap set by the
bad energy to lure them into the forest. Their souls
were all consumed one by one and the bad energy
walked into the earth.
