THE BEGINNING OF THE CURSE - My entry: Celebrating A Milestone | 22.5 SBD Giveaway Contest

in #scarystory6 years ago (edited)

Many years ago in a small village, people believed in witchcraft, spells, and everyone who is suspected of being a sorcerer was burned or hanged.

According to the old inhabitants of a villa there were several ways to detect a witch, among which many times they said that it was the fact of never bleeding even if they hurt their skin, not being able to sleep at night, having a very pleasant smell, especially that a black cat chased him; for that moment the most notorious sign of witchcraft was being chased by a black cat, even if you were not the owner of the cat.

One day near the winter disappearances began to take place in the village, the women of the town were being kidnapped, the wise elders of the town believed on the one hand that it was a punishment for the sins committed by those women, others believed that it was a witch looking for a kind of revenge. Because of the events that are happening, women are advised not to leave at any time alone, and also decree a curfew in the village, anyone who was wandering in the streets after 7 at night was going to be suspicious and possibly killed to prevent further disappearances.

Within a few weeks, the disappearances continued to occur, the fear of the villagers was growing, and even more so when the men began to disappear. In one afternoon, a girl was playing in the center of the town with her dolls, while she was watched by her father, the mother of the girl had already been kidnapped a month ago.

That girl was barely 11 years old, suddenly the girl could not help but see that there was a small animal hiding near where she was playing, she approached out of curiosity; In view of the fact that the animal was not showing, he took a small piece of bread out of his pocket and placed it on the ground, soon after a feline began to poke his head out, it was a black cat. The father realizing that the cat had approached his daughter, feared, took the child and ran with her in his arms to his house, praying that no one in the village had realized what had happened.

When he got home, sweating, scared, he warned the little girl not to do that again, because she could be accused of witchcraft and end up dead; but it was already late, on the other side of the door you could hear the meows and begging of the cat to get through, the cat had chased them home. Soon, the neighbors, realized what was happening, and did not last a minute to point to both of sorcerers, and blame them for the disappearances that occurred.

As expected, the father blamed everything in order to avoid hurting his daughter, but this effort did not help, since the villagers were so maddened that they did not want to hear anything, so they took the father and his daughter to prevent them from escaping, put them inside the house, and set fire to the house; you could clearly hear the cries of suffering from both, the sharp cry of the little girl, and the pleas of the father.

In the hours, what was left of that was nothing but ashes, but something called attention to the only remaining debris and the wooden floor being almost completely consumed, people they noticed in the cellar a lot of jars with dead animals, books very old, a giant cauldron; Instantly, a macabre laugh was heard that was approaching more and more, everything began to darken, and when everyone looked towards the sky they noticed a somber, and evil silhouette; When the image became clearer it was a woman who was standing there, a woman they knew, was the girl's mother, the one who had been his neighbor for so many years.

Suddenly, all the inhabitants felt a force that they wrapped them, they were thorny bushes that were holding them all, while they realized that it was that woman who was causing the bushes to catch them. And then it was when she spoke "You have killed my daughter, and my husband, who were not guilty of anything, I just wanted to take their bodies for years, and go kill them little by little, in order to preserve my magic and youth. , that's why I had compassion and I took them little by little, and to avoid suspicion, I gave myself up for lost, but now that they have killed my little girl that was what I most wanted, I will not have compassion, and I will kill them all here same and now".

Everyone in the village, children, men, the few women who remained, even the animals began to be strangled by the bushes, only screams and tears were heard for an hour, since the wicked before killing them was making them suffer from pain, When the last inhabitant was murdered, the witch cast a spell in the villa, pronouncing the following words: "Everyone, regardless of their age, and here they want to enter automatically, will die."

The years passed, and many explorers looking for new lands saw the empty space at a distance and decided to approach, because they were lands which they could own, but as the witch had decreed, by placing even one foot in the village, the bushes They moved, trapped and traversed the invaders without any compassion, without letting anyone escape. And that's how from that moment, until now, that villa is cursed.
