Lamps

 


Recommended for ages 15+ only



Tiffany and her two friends, Ella, and Teina were going to her house. Tiffany was short and redheaded.  She always put her hair up in two braids, and she was very smart. Ella was clumsy, and an airhead. She was short, and had short brown hair. She was also really clumsy. Teina was very smart and tall. She had long, naturally blonde hair but dyed it pink. She was kind, and was like the 'mom' of the little friend group.


"Tiff,Are you sure about this? It seems fishy, ya know?" said Ella, watching Tiffany as she opened the door of her home. "it's fine, Ella, I just want y'all to see this,Its so cool! kinda creepy." Said Tiffany as she went inside. "oh, I invited Todd by the way!" Said Ella, coming in.  

"what?Ella come on! You need to ask before inviting you're boyfriend" said Teina. "Oh it's alright, My Dad isn't home" said Tiffany smiling.


When they were all in, And Tiffany had shut the door, They all squinted, The lights flickering on and off endlessly. "god,Tiffany what the hell?" said Teina, Covering her eyes with her arms, trying to look around.


Tiffany lead both girls to her room upstairs, that had no lmaos or lights of any kind, so it was very dark. They sat on the bed. "Ahaha! I know right? Cool isn't it?" Said Tiffany. "Yeah, actually, but creepy too? all you're lamps just started flickering outta nowhere?" said Ella chuckling. "yup, freaky, I know." replied tiffany, sighing.


They heard a knock on the door, Then the door opened. Todd's voice could be heard downstairs. "hooooly shiiit, man, these lights are haunted or some shit!!" He said laughing. Ella,Tiffany,And Teina went downstairs. Todd had brought his best friend, Mark, And Mark had brought his girlfriend, Elle.


Todd was arguably the cutest boy in school, He was basically a jock, along with Mark. Todd had light brown hair, put up, and he was very tall. Mark was dark skinned, and He had little to no hair on his head, He was as talk as Todd, only a bit taller, barley. Elle was also a redhead, Her hair was shoulder length, and She definitely knew how to do her make up. 


"god, is it a whole ass party now?" said Teina, clearly annoyed. "Can you turn off those annoying lights already? damn." said Mark, ignoring her. "We can't, We've tried, and the bulbs won't come off, we try smashing and breaking them, but no matter what we do, the just don't break." said Tiffany. "what the fuck?" said Elle. "I might know something!" she said happily.


"What do you mean? tell us!" Said Teina. They all went to Tiffany's room, and Elle pulled out a tiny book out of her jacket. Elle wasn't very popular, she was mysterious and quiet in school. But she was definitely a book worm, and her favorite books were about haunted things.


The book she took out was named, "Real Life Haunted Objects." She flipped through the pages and then stopped on one, with the chapter called, "Lamps" She read outloud, "There have been Haunted Lamps before, in the late 1970's. How to know if you're own lamp is haunted: Flickering, Unbreaking, And Bulbs being stuck. These lamps are very dangerous, If they are looked at for too long, The person will begin to hallucinate, and they will be teleported somewhere random, before their death." She stopped talking and looked up at the others, who were amazed. 


"so fake" Said Todd. "what? i mean, it's so obvious, it's definitely haunted, Babe!" said Ella. "No it isn't come on! look, i'll show you." He said smirking. "Todd don't be an idiot, man." said Tiffany. Then, Tiffany got a text from someone. it said, "unknown" it had sent a picture, When Tiffany saw it she yelped and dropped her phone. "What!?" said Ella,"oh my god,ugh. it's a picture of jeff the killer." She said, panting. "that's weird." said Elle. 


They were cut off by Todd laughing, while looking into a lamp's flickering light. He stepped away from it, He smirked evily. "see, guys? nothing happened." 


He fell to the ground, and yelped, Then, He was gone. 


"what the hell!?" yelled Mark. "i was right! Ugh! that idiot!" said Elle sadly. "d-does that mean he's gunna die!?!?" yelled Ella. "most lik-" said Elle but she was cut off my Tiffany, "maybe,We don't know!

Ella started tearing up "No!"


Ella went out to look for Todd, while Elle and Mark went to Mark's house.m


Todd blinked. He was in an alley way. "w-what the fuck?" He mumbled to himself, looking around. in The distance, He saw two men battling it out, one with a knife, and a white, bloody hoodie, the other with a leather jacket, who had multiple cuts all over his body. 


The guy in the hoodie stabbed the other guy's stomach, and as he fell to his knees and gasped, Hoodie guy made it quick and slashed his throat from behind. Todd gasped. and slowly started backing away. The teen in the hoodie made eye contact with him, and Todd froze.


"Jeff the killer."


thought Todd. Jeff bolted at him, running very quickly. Todd ran away, he was also fast, but Jeff caught up. Jeff jumped ontop of Todd, and slashed his back multiple times, making Todd groan in pain. Todd pushed him off quickly, but Jeff threw himself back at him, and carved painful  scars all over Todd's mouth. Todd screamed in pain, but elbowed him, Jeff growled, and his shaky, horrifying voice, said, "go to sleep" 


Todd screamed loudly, and Jeff stabbed him multiple times, until he was laying in a pool of his own blood. Jeff put his knife on the floor next to Todd, and disappeared. The police arrived soon after.


The next day, Todd wasn't at school. An announcement was made. "Students, we will have a moment of silence for one of out fallen angels, that has passed. Todd Cleor. Was found dead. The police are investigating." Ella broke into tears. 


Everyone went to Tiffany's house again. "what the hell do we do?" said Elle. "Nothing, we can't do anything. He's dead, Tiffany, you need a new place to live." Said Mark. "He's right, actually." sighed Teina. "you can stay at my place" "ok...My dad is on a business trip, i'll tell him..." said Tiffany, sadly. 


That night, Tiffany was in Teina's room, Waiting for Teina to finish brushing her teeth. Teina came in, and she got in bed, Tiffany was on the spare bed Teina had in her room."goodnight" said Teina, and She turned off the lamp next to her bed. But it didn't. 


The lamp started flickering, And Tiffany gasped and immediately looked away.  "Teina! look away! now!!!" screamed Tiffany. But it was too late, Teina was staring at he light, as if she was hipnotized. She got up from her bed and laughed happily. "ah, this beach is aaaamazing!!" She  said happily. Tiffany, without looking, grabbed he lamp and threw it through a window. Teina made swimming motions on the floor, and she disappeared.


Tiffany's phone vibrated, and She ran to it. there was a picture of an anchor, from 'unknown' She yelped at cried in bed, scared to see the news the next day. 


Teina was swimming happily in the water, the sun was beaming, and the water was cold, it felt great, She went up, wiping her hair off her face, smiling.


Then,An anchor appeared attached to her leg. She looked down for a millisecond, before immediately being taken down under from the anchor. She screamed, but only bubbles appeared from her mouth, and barley any sound came out. 


She cried, but nothing was coming out from her eyes. She knew. "this is where i die" The anchor brought her down quickly, and she was trying not to lose consciousness. She looked down.


She tried screaming again.


A giant shark, probably as big as a ship, was opening it's mouth, waiting for Teina to come down.  


The shark tore her apart, blood mixing with the water, She died instantly. and her chunks of remains floated up to the surface, and washed up. 


The next day, Teina wasn't at school. it was supposed to be a happy Friday, but it surly wasn't. Tiffany met up with everyone else at Elle's house, all the lights were turned off, and instead using candles. Tiffany  told them everything. "oh so now these fucking lamp spirits are coming for us? yay! amazing!" said Ella, obviously still sad about Todd's death.


Then, Elle gasped. "guys look" she said, pointing at the TV. 


The news was on, "Teen girl's tragic death caused by shark attack at the beach" 


"that must be her." said Tiffany, sighing sadly.


"wait...I got a picture of Jeff the killer from the unknown contact,And from the same contact, a picture of a beach, Teina died at a beach!!Maybe Todd was murdered by Jeff The Killer, And the contact tells us!" said Tiffany. 


Suddenly,The TV flickered on and off. "w-what!? Lamps and  TVs now!?" yelled Mark. "LOOK AWAY NOWW!!" screamed Ella. 


They all screamed, and it was so loud, Tiffany didn't hear her phone dinging, getting a new message from 'unknown'


When it stopped, The all looked up. Elle was gone.


Tiffany looked at her phone. A picture of a pole.


"what? how could she die from that?" said Tiffany, showing everyone. Mark started tearing up. "Fuck! i was supposed to be there for Todd, and i wasn't! and now Elle!! No!" he said, running outside. 


Elle woke up, in an empty school's football field, around it was a track running circle. She knew exactly what situation she was in. She started getting nervous, and she ran away. A horse appeared out of nowhere. She gasped.


The horse began to follow her. 


She ran as fast as she possibly could, She turned sharply, and the horse almost fell over, and bumped into a light, much like a streetlight, and it fell over , the light part breaking off. but it bounced back up, a little, and it stayed there.


The horse caught up, and grabbed Elle by her hair. She screamed in pain, and the horse turned sharply in front of the broken light, and She flew. 


She closes her eyes, Then She looked down. She was impaled by the light. She cried, and started panting and screaming for help, the pain coming in. 


The horse grabbed her by the back of her hair again, and she screamed loudly. The horse layed her on the ground, and stopped breathing.


On the news the next day, Tiffany, at Ella's house, was watching. "Girl Impaled By Pole In School FootBall Field,Deaths Connected?" Tiffany ran to find Ella. "ELLA!! ELLE'S DEAD!!" she said, tearing up. "Damn it!!" said Ella. They heard a knock on the door and they both ran to it. 


it was Mark, looking very sad. "Mark-" began Tiffany, "no,Tiffany,it's okay..." he sighed. Tiffany sighed too. 


They went throughout their day, They talked for a while, and thank god no lights had flickered. Mark Left, And Tiffany and Ella went to bed.

late at night, Tiffany woke up from her phone vibrating from a new message from, 'unknown' two messages, actually.  A Brick, And a Computer, Tiffany didn't sleep after that.


The next day, Tiffany went to a movie theater, to clear her mind. While She was buying tickets, She read the newspaper. "Girl Dead After Tragic Electrocution" she gasped. "Ella" She thought. But that wasn't it. She another part said, "Boy Dies After From Brick Falling Down From Construction" "oh god!! Mark!!" She cried.


She sobbed for a while, but went to her movie anyways. She sure was late, but the movie was good. She started spacing out in the credits, and the theater was empty now, only she was in there, alone.


The Giant screen started flashing. Ella was in the first row. She couldn't look away. She noticed she got a text, but her phone was on silent, 15 minutes ago.  it was a picture of a train. She screamed, and cried. 



She opened her eyes, and She was in the middle of the street. a car hit her, and she flew backwards. She spit blood on the floor, barley being able to move. 


She closed her eyes, waiting for her death, but it didn't come, instead, when she opened her eyes back again.


 She was in train tracks.


 She saw a light coming towards her quickly,  And then, She saw the giant train, coming for her.


She sat there, screaming hopelessly.


The end.
