The beginning of the end

Chapter 3

We saw a large two sided door, that looks like the king's and queen's section, there is something strange about this section, ashes were spread at the entrance of the door, despite all the wind blowing, the ashes still remain fixed to its spot, the moment we crossed the ashes and stepped into the room, there was a tremendous clap of thunder, the wind became fierce, this section was much more colder than all the others, much more foggy, the sensation send fear down my spine, for the first time we stepped into the castle I sensed and noticed raw fear from my friend's eyes .

We suddenly began to hear the sound of metals clapping at what looks like a changing room, from the curtain we can see a fire light, well, that looks queer for a century un invaded mansion.

Curiosity, they said is a blessing but sometimes a curse. Out of curiosity despite our fear we approach the fire like we were been propelled.

We reached closed to curtain and the fire was still blazing, we opened it fast and suddenly stood petrified at what our eyes behold, its was a flaming fire, on a golden fire stand, with neither oil nor sticks but it was still blazing, behind it was a mirror. It stood tall and clean, we still stood their unable to neither move nor talk.

"Jesus Christ" Jesse broke the petrified silence.

"I can believe this is happening". he said visibly shaken by the reality.

I slapped myself twice to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

"Guys, can u see this" angel asked stunned.

"Of course we can see the fire, we aren't blind" Beniah replied.

"I mean the inscription on the left side of the mirror".

We all turned our gaze to the mirror.

The was an inscription written with fresh blood

It reads

"Witaj na początku końca" and about the down end of the mirror another writing was made, it reads

"Piekło odpocznijcie wasze dusze"

"O my God". Angel said in with eyes wide open, like she have seen death, her voice shows dark omen for us, we all turned towards her.

"It's written in polish, one of the major language in England, it's common in this part of the country side" she pointed at the first one.

"It says "WELCOME TO THE BEGINNING OF THE END".

She then pointed at the second one

"HELL RESTS YOUR SOULS".

Wait guys, there is another one at the extreme top, since it was written in polish, angel translated it for us.

It says

"FOR ALL SHALL PAY FOR THE SIN OF ONE".

"What's all this about". ket said, asking no one in particular.

"This doesn't make sense at all". Jesse said.

"Guys I reckon we should leave, I have had enough already".

"How about the crown". I said desperately and stubbornly, although shaken to the bone.

"Forget the crown ". Beniah half yelled.

"Jesse is right, something is amiss, how can there be a writing on a mirror with fresh blood, and this flaming fire, the ashes or the door, not ignoring too the strange meaning of this words". He said terrifyingly, he turned and look at ket, babe let's get out of this madness if they don't want to, he said dragging ket along with him and he head towards the door with ashes spread at the entrance, he dragged the curtain, but then something non of us expect happened, the door was no more, It was just a plain wall there.

"Jesus, this can't be happening ". Jesse screamed half slapping him cheeks

"Please, let me wake up already if this is a dream.

"This isn't a dream dummy, better wake up to this reality that we are all fucked up in this mess". Ket said.

Beniah was still hitting the wall, trying to break it will all things he can have to his grasp, it was an absurd effort and labor, he carried a table trying to hit the wall when I reached for his hand and held it.

"Can you see that all this is vanity, let's not waste time but look for a way out before night falls, it's five hours already". I said

Jesse and ket had their phone in their hands lifting it up and moving it sideways, looking for network I presume.

"No network in this God forsaken house of devil". ket said, she is in tears already.

Angel finally spoke again "I agree with Moris, we have to look for a way out, there is no time to check time, so, let's hurry up already".

We followed her, we climbed up stairs hopping to see if we can find and open window and possibly a rope that we can descend down with, and Angel suddenly hears a whisper from the upstairs and some footsteps.

"Shush". she said holding her lips with a finger.

"I think I heard a whisper and some footsteps up there" she said lowly.
