So Scary 7- The Book of Eibon

So Scary 7- The Book of Eibon

Amidst the shores of New Orleans, one has to describe the true nature of the Book of Eibon. In fact, the sacred thing about it, is that nobody would surely know what can come out of it, and yet some occult researchers of today's world, wanted to know the true secrets behind it. Therefore, I needed to keep the book in the safest hands as possible, even though I'm not a true researcher myself.

But what I've found in the book lies the true horrors of my own imagination. The book describes these very words that have brought to my attention. One could not describe the worn-out pages from a long time ago, when it was supposed to be vanished or destroyed.

But I haven't destroyed the book. More likely, I was fascinated by it. A lonely man who had nothing else better to do, and wanting to know the dark secrets behind the forbidden book. Alone at my house, where I used to grew up with my parents, I now inherited their financial gain, and had no worries, whatsoever. I have heard that my father had been a true scholar of the dark arts. He once told me that the Book of Eibon was dangerous, and one must not take an interest in it. And my mother? Well... Let's just say that she never wanted to talk about it. For she have heard enough horrors lately until her timely death. I have attended both of their funerals. I was sad to see them go. Now, I'm alone. I have to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. But what matters now is that I have so much money in my hands. And the hands of this dreadful book.

I walked out of the house. Lightning struck the skies. It began to rain heavily. I just remembered that I have forgotten about my dinner date with Lady Lucia. She had been dearest to me, ever since I met her. But she had been too busy nowadays, that I barely could see her everyday. To my sight, she was a lovely woman, and a good one at that. A man of my intelligence would surely want to marry her. But the Book of Eibon...

I went back inside the house, and opened those hellish pages. I read the quotes, over and over again.

"And you will face the sea of darkness, and all therein may be explored.¨

"Woe be unto him who opens one of the seven gateways to Hell, because through that gateway, evil will invade the world."

I have known about this thing, since the day that my father had told me about it. A man like me shouldn't interfere with the outside forces of darkness. But the mention of hell itself... It was something to be discovered. And yet, it sounded adventurous at the same time. But to most people out there, especially the religious ones would say not. And I was deeply interested after I found the book in my father's private room. What more would I give my soul to see this dreary event happening? The lightning struck again. As I have read the book, I managed to fall asleep. There I was lying awake in some sort of place, which I have never seen before. Like the grave from beyond. A smoke wafted around me. Therefore, I couldn't see anything else.

There were figures who stood there before me. Corpses lying awake, and risen from the... dead! They have surrounded me and one of them said, "You have opened the gates of hell." I was struck by fear of this horrible vision. Or was it? Surely, I must be dreaming here. But I want out. Out of this terrible nightmare from my deep consciousness. I must get out!

I have woken up, and realized it was daytime. How long had I been sleeping? I still held the book in my hands. And here I thought, I must be going mad, dreaming of hellfire and brimstone. And the dead...

The Book of Eibon have clearly shown me of its true nature. And I must throw it away. It's not too late, somewhere in my mind said. But the other one said, Take it, young man. I know you want it. You want to know the secrets that truly lies ahead... The Gates of Hell.

I was defeated. It was like I have already given my soul to some unknown being. The book suggested that there lies a gateway beyond the wall of my own bedroom. I looked for it. And I knew the fact that there have been seven gateways, which were mentioned in the book. One at the hotel, and the ones, which I clearly do not know. But one thing is for sure that I have found one of them in my house. Or I thought I might have found it. I shall see if I'm right about this.

I walked upstairs, sweating all over. It was still dark at night, but no lightning being struck. I went to my room, hoping that I could find this doorway, which leads to the netherworld. But I don't know if I'm right about its true location. Therefore, I must test it out. And when I entered the room, I could hear disembodied voices, calling out to me. I must also be hearing things. Again, I don't know. I went towards the wall, and touched it. Then, I've realized that I have to break it apart. I went downstairs immediately, and grabbed an axe from the wall where it was hanged. I rushed back towards my bedroom. Hitting the wall several times, it took longer than I've expected. The wall broke apart, and the hole of darkness stood before me.

Yes, I could still hear those wailing voices from beyond. I don't know if I could enter the hole. I was about to enter, and then I stopped. I thought, I mustn't do this, for I was thinking of Lucia in my arms. But something grabbed me from the other side. I was getting... eaten. Yes, I could feel the bones, crushing to my very core, the flesh torn apart, and the blood flowing on the floor. I found myself in a great deal of pain.

I screamed.
