We are talking about pranking our elders, if we ever happen to go on a trip to a haunted house. We, which includes; Sarah, my sister, Clara and Conner; and Dora and Derek, my cousins, and I. note it, we are all matured and are acting as brainless nuts and chicken heads.

We plan about wearing long black cloaks and wearing makeup. As boys, we don't have long hair, so we arrive at a conclusion of wearing wigs, while our sisters leave their blonde hair untied. We have bought such terrible and horrible masks and there, it lies in each of our hands, which I believe, at the first sight will make our teeth chatter rhythmically.

And guess what! We kiddies are alone at home with no adult supervision and are drawing plans in the dining room with all lights on, coz we are all scary buggers, and also one candle burning, lonely, by itself on the middle of the dining table, just in case. Since, there are no elders, we are having a great day...

Suddenly, all at once, the lights go off and the candle is still alive burning.

"What happened?" asks Sarah.

"It's creeping me out!" "Sebastian, it isn't you, right?" Dora and Conner ask together.

"Why would I do it? There must be something wrong with the circuits." I tell them.

"Okay! Let's pack up our things and go to bed. Finish it in this dim brightness, before it dies.." orders Derek, the eldest among us. "Come on, hurry up, lazybags..."

As I was just 0.001% lazier than the others, I stretch my hands and legs and JUMP, my fingertips touch something cold!!

I snatch my hand hurriedly, because I know no one is seated in the right hand side of the table because only I was at the corner. And it is WARM because the heater was working for the whole day..

I slowly turn to see what on earth it was, in the dim light of the candle. I couldn't make up anything live there.

"I must be imagining things!" I think to myself and turn back to my cousins just in time to see something dark and terrible with vampire fangs, dripping blood looming nearer to the candle and a microsecond later, the candle goes off.

"D-d-did you g-g-guys just see that?" I whisper; 99.9% sure that not a soul could have heard it.

"Shit! Not now." I heard Conner mumble from a corner, probably he must have been taking all the papers and pens and stuff. And a few millisecond later, I hear Clara scream from a distance behind me, and I turn to feel something warm and rusty tasted oozy thing splash on my face and mouth.

Then I realized it was blood. And there was not another sound to be heard from Clara. I walk towards the source of the sound only to be stood stock still; because Conner was screaming and I'm 100% sure that one of my eardrums would have fallen down to the ground through my hollow legs.

"Clara! Clara, where the hell are you? Stop freaking me out and come over here!"

But no response!!

Then I feel something touch my left foot and I bend down to feel it.. And Oh My God. I feel a hairy head. And I think to myself, "Probably one of the girls are playing a prank by crawling and frightening us." And I fell for the neck to see the chain and find out who it is.

But! But, there is no body. The chain isn't there. The head has been cut clean and I scream, "Nooooooooooooo!"

I rise up to run and I hear a steel strike something soft and then a soft thud. What was that I heard? Something comes rolling on the ground towards my leg and THEN only the bulb in my brain lights up and I take my phone out and light the flashlight in it and look down.

I feel my inner organs are gonna come out from my mouth. Because it is Conner's HEAD and next to it is Clara's HEAD which I touched earlier.

I turn to run to check the others out, when I see Sara coming towards me, "Sebas..." she couldn't finish her sentence because SLASH! Some moronic devil has cut her head and it is no more fixed to her body and guess what? Her head is coming towards me....

I am not ashamed to tell that. But, I screamed... Even though, I am a boy and all, I still have fear and I want my heart to beat for a longer period till I marry and have children. I will have those wishes, right??

I shouted, "Who the hell are you? What do you want from us? Leave us alone!!" I sobbed..

"I want Dora. Because she can see me and I want her for my needs. Where is she? Tell and I'll spare your lives."

I will not do that.. And I hear Derek ask the devil, "If you want to spare us, then why on earth are you killing us?"

And I turn towards him, and you know what? Dora is cowering under the staircase and Derek is standing front of her as a bodyguard.

After the next blink I blink, there is no Derek head, only Derek body, coz the moron must have sever his neck also... That bloody fool...

Then in the brightness from my phone, I see his body fall face-down. (Should I say 'face-down' I doubt; coz he has no face?" 

My heart screams at my brain, "Very important! Save yourself and Dora, you blindhead."

I look up the stairs and my heart stops beating. There at the top stands a lady wearing stockings, and has a sharp steel blood dripping axe in her hand. And her face is utterly horrible and she is staring into my eyes..

My mouth automatically opens due to the frightful creature in front of me. She killed my sister and 3 of my cousins. And I will never ever let my other cousin too to die. I'm not gonna leave her!! I will protect Dora... Even though, I'm scared out of my wits.

I run up the stairs, towards her. Towards the devil from the Hell, shouting, "I will not leave you alone, you Moron." And suddenly I fall on my knees. SHE has sliced my legs under the knees, and she raises the axe and there goes my left and then my right hand, leaving my body limbless.

I fall face forward to the ground i.e the wooden stair. I feel guilty for not saving Dora.

I know blood will not come from my mouth or neck, since she didn't severe my neck. But I feel something warm liquidy stuff against my face and I put my lips out to taste it..

And O M G; it is cornflakes soaked in milk. I suddenly jerk my head and sit upright to see everyone looking at me amused..

Even Sarah, Clara, Conner and Derek are there.. And there is Dora right in front of me...

They are ALIVE... My eyes are gonna pop out of my eye sockets.

I thank God wholeheartedly and I try to hug Sarah who is next to me. But she squeals.. "SEBASTIAN, nuthead, first wipe your face in the paper towel over there. And why on the green planet, did you fall into your cereal bowl like that?"

"I-I-I thought... Never mind.." I stammer.

Oh no. I hold my head. Not another nightmare during breakfast... or is it Day-mare.?"

Thanks for reading this tho..
