I had no way out of this dungeon of hell and was left with the dread of having to stay and endure the horror that was about to take place . I kept myself back behind one of the many book cases and hoped that the girls death would be over quickly . I wanted to so badly to find a way to warn her but I knew it would do no good I was no match for James .
The sounds of pleasure were increasing and I began to wonder if maybe the girl would be spared . That was short lived as I heard screams and the sound of feet attempting to run . The screaming became so much worse and I closed my eyes and covered my ears . Nothing could drown out the sounds of flesh being torn and the determined and frantic sounds of an attempt to escape James's brutal lust for blood .
I had to see with my own eyes the real James I needed to see the transformation my heart and blood brought to James . I looked around from the book case and saw puddles of blood on the floor . I could not see James or the girl and for one moment I thought the carnage was over but I was wrong as I watched the girl fly through the and land at my feet . Her body was badly scratched up and blood was pouring from the wound on her neck . She looked up at me and I could see most of the right side of her face was missing including her eye . She mouthed the words don't let him kill me . I reached out my hand to her only for James to grab her feet and drag her away from me .
He threw her onto the altar and began sinking his sharp fangs back into her bloodied neck . She still screaming and struggling under him . I began feeling a terrible sensation that made the room spin around so fast I could no longer stand. I felt a force drag me back to the night that James killed me . I could feel myself floating above the altar and I looked down to see myself laying there tied down and hearing James's demonic chanting . I could see the terrified look in my eyes and being forced to watch as James stabbed me in the heart . My own screams echoed through the room as James pulled out the dagger from my heart and the blood poured from the wound in my chest .
I wanted to look away but something was holding my head and forcing me to watch my own demise . I was being forced to remember the fear and pain and watch my heart being expertly removed and offered up to an evil entity . I could not stand it anymore . The sounds of my screams all those years ago were now mixed in with the girl being torn apart on the same altar .
I screamed and begged to be let down as I didn't want to see anymore . Eventually I was brought back to the ground only to be faced with the girls dead body . James had completely destroyed her and pushed her body to the ground. He stood by the altar and looked over at me . His body covered in the girls blood and him looking so pleased with himself . I could see him for what he was now . A blood thirsty monster with no care or feeling for the lives he destroyed . I stood before him I looked into his eyes and leaned in close to his .” I hate you James Sutherland “ . James stared back at me and smiled as he looked me in the eye's. “ Hate is a very useful emotion and one that you do not have child” but in time that will change and will come with a very fitting punishment if I catch you even thinking it .
I didn't understand any of this just what did he plan to do to me ? He killed me over 300 years ago what els could he do that had not already been done . I was not going to let him get away with this . “You may have stolen my heart and damned me to remain here in your created hell “But you will never make me yours and I will find away to take my revenge on you! I will make it my mission to see your body and soul consumed by hell's fire . James as always just laughed at me and began walking away from me . As he reached the top of the stairs he looked down at me and spoke these chilling words to me . “ You can never escape from me child you are apart of my blood and their is nothing that can release you from that bond”.
After finding the courage to face James I began keeping out of sight . I hid myself away in as many places as I could . The idea of seeing his face again was just too much for me to bear . I had no doubts that things would only get worse and I would have to face him again .
Summer was here again and I wanted to be apart of the light so I would leave the confines of the farmhouse and walk into the nearby woods . I began thinking if James could see me would others see me now . Not that many ventured this way but to hear other human voices might be comforting for me as the only voices I hear are the terrible screams of those that James lures into the house .
On my walk I began thinking of my mother and father . The sad thought's of did they ever wonder what happened to me ? Did they try to find me ? And what became of them both after I died .
I have no resting place no headstone for flowers to be placed . James must of discarded my body in some ditch just to make sure that god would truly abandon me . My thoughts went on to James's admission that I would not be alone for much longer . I can't stand the idea that someone els will suffer the same fate as me . There has to be some way for me to stop him and free myself from this eternal nightmare .
As I walked through the woods my mind turning over with thoughts of despair and revenge I came face to face with an old man . He greeted me and I was so overcome with happiness that someone other than James could see me . At long last a kind human voice . I asked him if he could really see me . He smiled and replied yes . He went on to warn me that I should not be alone in the woods and I should return as nightfall was near . It’s a strange thing for me I no longer have any concept of time so it’s hard for me to judge . This man had a kind face and was showing concern for my well being . I don't know why I spoke the words I don't want to go back . He looked at me with kind eyes and told me that always the best place to start is to go back to the place where the pain started and face it then I would be able to gain my strength and move forward . I watched him walk away and slowly he became less visible I then realised he was another ghost. A great wave of disappointment came over me . As I began my walk back to the house I began to think maybe I should make myself go back to the place of my death . Perhaps it would give me some strength to face it and alleviate my fears.
That hidden room where people enter but never come out . Could I really be brave enough to go back in there ? If I want to find away for myself to be released maybe it was the place to start .
By the time I had made it back to the house it was nightfall and I observed James leaving the house . I was not fading away so I knew he would be returning at some point . It gave me the chance to make my way into the room . It was at the far end of the house and behind a large oak door that opened to a spiral staircase that took me under the house . As I walked down I began to remember the smell of wood burning and the smell of something rotting . Once I waled into the room I was faced with a bookcase filled with books of black magic and other unholy literature . Cases filled with strange knifes and daggers . Satanic markings on the floor and upon the ceiling . I wanted to run but I forced myself to continue . And then I came across the altar . I could hear my screams echoing through the room. My screams mixed in with the screams of other unfortunate souls . All the words James spoke that night came flooding back to me and could almost feel the pain of my heart being torn out of my chest . The unholy atmosphere conjured up the demonic voices of James's masters and I felt myself falling to the floor . I made myself stand back up and as I was about to leave when I heard voices .
James had returned and he had a young woman with him . I had to hide quickly as there was no time to get out .
I found a place behind one of the book cases . I hoped James would not seance that I was there .
Curiosity was getting the better of me and I wanted to see the woman . It was not like I hadn't seen his victims before . I was always in upstairs and then no one could see or hear me . She looked so young just a child probably my age when I was alive . I no longer have the ability to determine the ages of the living . She was pretty and I must confess I felt some jealousy towards her even though I knew this was going to end badly for her .
Nobody walks out of here alive and the scene is now set for torture and untold suffering at James's hands . I truly hope her demise will be quick as I have known James to spend days down here torturing his victims . The Black mass candles ignited themselves and the whole room took its sinister glow and James was now commanding the room and making his move on the girl
So much time had passed since I was murdered and because of my untimely demise time no longer had the same meaning it once had .
My heart and soul crushed by a monster that was free to wander the earth for all eternity whilst I remained an eternal prisoner .
For so long I had wanted someone to hear my voice and see my face . And now finally I could make my presence known . Moving objects seemed to only happen when I found the strength to let out my anger . Charles had seen me and this made him scurry away like a frightened cat . Of course he ran to James and told him what he had witnessed . I never imagined that the mere mention of my name could induce such rage from James . His rage only served to make me angry as Im the one with an axe to grind . It was interesting to see the two of them looking worried especially when I moved the wine glass . James got rid of Charles very quickly and for a moment I thought James would leave and I would be forced back into the darkness . James stayed and I watched him as he sat reading through papers . I kept myself in a position where he would not see me . Even now Im still afraid of him . I was not entirely sure if he could harm me . Im a ghost but James clearly possess power that could extend beyond the realms of the human world .
I had to face him I needed to be strong and make him see and hear me . Just looking at him reminded me of the love I had for him and the anger hatred I felt for his betrayal . These emotion's were becoming stronger and having a destructive effect . Objects began falling to the floor and the lights began to flicker . James didn't seem to care as he hardly looked up from his papers . I became more angry and the room began to shake . James stood up and made his way out of the room . So I made my way to the staircase and prepared to confront my destroyer .
I waited until he appeared at the bottom of the stairs . I stood tall and ready to make him hear my words .
“ James I know you can see me “ I want to know why ? James looked at me and gave me a cruel smile and laughed . “ so you finally learnt how to make yourself visible “ Only took you 300 years to figure it out . You are still the most beautiful girl my eyes have ever seen . And you are still the same love sick child I knew 300 years ago . So eager to please but never clever enough to see imminent danger heading your way .
His words made me so angry I felt like my heart was being cut out all over again and he still wasn't answering my question . “ I demand to know why you did this to me and I want an answer . James began to show himself in his demonic form . His eyes began to turn red and I watched his teeth grow into fangs . I should of backed away from him right there and then but I was determined to stand my ground . He came closer to me and I looked straight into his evil red eyes and awaited his response .
“You do not get to make demands child “ you came to me of your own free will I did not need to persuade you . You should have listened to your family and the rest of the peasants all those years ago . You knew that I was not like other men but that did not stop you seeking me out . You wanted me and you were so willing to do anything for me . What better way to prove your undying love to me by giving me your heart . I made very good use of your heart and I was rewarded well in doing so .
“ You used me so you could become immortal and you trapped me between worlds . If you cared nothing for me why am I still here ? I think the truth is you still love me and feel shame for what you did to me . So you keep me around because you can't bear to let go . You are a coward ! I knew I had gone to far calling him a coward . James let out a roar that sent me flying across the room . I hit the ground and felt myself becoming weak . I could see my hands fading away he was sending me back to the darkness . He stood over me and watched me panic and struggle to keep myself visible .
“ You had better not speak to me that way again child” You have just felt how easy it is for me to continue to cause you pain so you had better listen to me and listen well . Everything that happened has its reason and there is nothing you or anyone can do to stop me . If you ever try disrespecting me again I will send you down to my ceremonial room and as I recall the last time you were there you didn't enjoy it much . I will keep you there and I come down just to make you suffer . I have no intention of releasing you . You will be staying this way until I say it’s time for you to experience change .
Im going to rest now so with your new found abilities you had better not disturb me ! Because you know what I will do to you if you do !
As James walked away my hands began to reform and the weakness began to pass . What was I to do ? I now knew there was no end to my imprisonment and James could hurt me still . James's suddenly turned and said to me that I would soon be getting company . I shuddered to think what this meant . Some other poor soul was about to come to an end because of James's evil .
I wanted James to be the one to suffer and yet I was still very much in love with him even after everything he had done to me .
My life had been ended in the most cruel and violent way imaginable . My heart had been removed and my blood drained away and used as an offering to call upon demonic forces .
I was unable to pass on to the heavens as an evil force was holding me prisoner . I could hear everything yet I could see nothing . My life was sacrificed to give James his immortality which he then passed on to his three friends . As well as my own screams I could hear Charles Thomas and Richards cries for James to release them from their pain .
I could hear the screams of others that James had thrown to his three disciples in evil . The screams fell silent and I was then able to see for myself depths of my love evil and his proud demonic creations . The four of them celebrated their new found powers and their ever lasting hunger for the blood of humans .
So my faithless lover had his friends thanks for killing me and using my blood and heart to give them immortality and I was now forever trapped between the world of the living and dark sleep when ever James left this house of hell .
My dark world left me with the terrible memories of my death at the hands of the man I loved so much and the faint memories of my family and my dreams of a life full of adventure .
My dark sleep would end when ever James returned to the farmhouse . I was able to wander the house and its grounds and into the woods . The woods was as far as I could go . Something was stopping me from venturing any further . Every time I returned the world that surrounded me was different . People that I would see in the area dressed in different ways each time . The way they spoke was not the same as I remembered . The house had a box that showed moving pictures and one box played strange sounding music and voices would speak . Things on the wall would make loud noises and people would talk to it .
Outside I could sometimes see giant silver birds in the sky that roared as they passed by . Horseless carriages often came to the house . I was not supposed to be here . This was all wrong I had come into a world in which I did not belong .
I could see people but they did not see or hear me . I was completely alone in the world .
James never really changed he was still the same handsome monster that tricked me . He continued his unholy deception by bringing unsuspecting victims to this hell house . Quite often they would be dragged down to the same room I was murdered in . I would close my eyes every time he brought a new victim to the house but I could never close my ears to the terrible screams . I tried often to move objects and shout anything to send out a warning to these poor souls . No matter how hard I tried nobody ever noticed me . I often wandered if James knew that I was there .
Why can't I leave this place ? Why am I here ? James didn't love me yet Im trapped here unable to find peace and move on . He must of done something that makes it impossible for me to leave .
Things changed one night when Charles returned . It had been a long time since I last saw him or the other two . I followed him around the house and shouted his name but to no avail . That was until he stood in front of a mirror that was in the living quarters . He caught a glimpse of me in the mirror . It sent him into a panic and forced him to rush into the kitchen to tell James what he just seen . The mention of my name sent James into a rage . It must of made me angry as well as I lashed out and sent a wine glass across the table and on to the floor . I could hardly believe it I made something move . Whilst they argued I ran around the house trying to move something els move .
Finally the shouting stopped and James ordered Charles back to London . Seeing them both together made my anger return and this seem to encourage the lights to flicker . I knew then James could see me . So I waited for Charles to leave . I made my way to the stairs and I stood tall and ready to confront James .
