Penalty~26

Oak shivered as the blood stream down her face. Her hands were quivering. She stood there reciting that she killed her father.

Bloods were dripping on the floor but no one was there. The authorities investigating the crime scene gasped at the odd situation.

Nod pulled her out of area as he wiped Oak's eyes. She was following his motion but her eyes were still red.

Nod can hear how Oak recited what she did. They need to meet up with Hue and Stripe who escorted back Stripe's mother.

The face powder vibrated and it scribed PENALTY.

Nod furrowed his brows when another earthquake occured. It was brief and not that strong but it was enough to cause a panic from the people.

Stripe and Hue came back running to find Oak still the same.

"The face palm says, Penalty." Nod announced.

"What does it mean by that?!" Hue inquired.

The face powder started getting more restless. It radiates a creepy aura.

"Penalty. Penalty." the black aura enveloped them and it took them inside a well.

"I hate how this face powder summoned us in scary locations." Stripe muttured.

He glanced at Oak who stood their unmoved.

"This well is weird, I can feel everything in here." Hue analysis.

"Yep, I don't like wells ever since I watched that movie with a woman crawling inside it." Nod muttured as he firmly held Oak's hand.

The atmosphere produced a shivering apprehension. The well got more spooky as a sound intensify up there. Stripe gulped in as he hugged Nod. Nod pulled Oak to embrace her in his front as Hue stood like a protective shield for them. A long hair was cascading from above.

"Is this Rapunzel?" Stripe asked as he cover his eyes.

"No, I don't think she let her hair down in a well. Besides it's not gold. It's black." Nod responded as he garbbed Hue's shoulder.

"I don't like this penalty." Hue stated.

The hair was almost an inch above their heads.

Hue pressed his back to avoid it from touching his head.

The hair was too long that it occupied the whole space.

Stripe almost yelled when a creaking sound started bothering them.

"This is the sound of ancient doors when closing." Nod uttured as Stripe burry his face on Nod's shoulder.

"I don't want to hear how it gets louder." Hue breathed.

The prolonged grating had the three anxious. The squeaking sound left the four worn out. Oak was taken aback to reality when the three men squeezed her. When she witnessed her state she can't help but be excited.

"I hope that she would crawl up behind us." she declared.

"Don't say that casually dear." Nod whispered.

"Please not behind us because if it does most likely it will be from my back." Stripe cried as he started to spin around and had himyself secured in between their circle.

The hair halted it's descending. The voice got paused and a face was watching them from the well's mouth.

"I have never seen a ghost entered like a princess." Stripe shrieks as he regretted looking up.

The woman had no face, her pale hands got positioned to crawl down.

"Stop that please.Your not spider man!" Nod yelled.

The woman started to slowly crawl downward.

Stripe went hysterical and was about to scream but his voice won't come out.

Nod had his lips shaking unpleasantly. Hue was stoned. Oak watched in delight.

Hue never expected that he will watch a white lady crawk like spider man with it's neck rotated in the wrong direction.

"This is so wrong. This penalty is insane. This is beyond horror. On top of that we have no place to run." Hue uttured like it was the end of the world.

"Please just let us go! Just jump don't crawl like that. This is driving me mad." Nod wept.

Stripe started crying as the woman had her head rotating as she get down.

"We shoud get out of here." Hue announced. He garbbed the woman's hair and his hand did not pass through.

"Let us climb up." Hue stated.

He tried to yanked the woman's hair to climb up. Hue then gather the woman's hair on the well. He braided it and had it thrown outside the well.

Hue started pulling and found it safe. He climb up and reach up. Stripe came next as he trembled upward. Nod will be next, he held Oak's hand and said.

"Dear I know you love this things that is why I am giving you the privilege to enjoy it. I will see up there." Nod said as he started climbing up. When Nod reached the entrance. The woman disappeared.

Oak was left within the well.

Oak started screaming and yelling. She sounded desperate and pitiful.

The three were alarmed they started to look for a rope but their hands passes through everything they touch.

Oak's scream became a cry. Her wailing was so terrifying that Stripe decided to jump back on the well.

Oak was about to grab the woman's hair but it disappeared. All of the hair were gone. A shadow of someone she despise appeared in the well. She can tell from the back, when it faced her it was her father's face. The man she recently killed. Her mind got reminded of how she killed him. It was like a broken record that keeps replaying. Oak started to agonize at how it started to take her back to the tormenting memories that she concealed deep within.

Oak can feel the touch and pain as her father started to hit her face. She was fourteen when he started to beat her and abuse her. Oak tried to fight back it will only result to her getting punished more in the end. Oak hated her father. She also hated how her mother did not care. Oak never forgot that time when her father hanged her on the wall as he hit her with belts and chains. It was because his tux got stained by a sauce from his meeting. The wound she escape and hid away from is being used to collect her debt.
