Inside the Haunted
Part 15
--------------------------------------
“Hello Madigan.” Charlie said inside of my head. I wanted to panic, to scream, to express my fear in any way possible to release the fear inside of me, but I couldn’t. I had finally stopped shivering long enough to try to look for Bernie standing in front of me, but I couldn’t see a thing. It was all dark and first I thought I was blind. Then I saw through Charlie’s eyes as they looked at Bernie. Bernie looked truly terrified: he still didn’t know what was going on. I hadn’t been able to grasp the truth either, but then again, I wasn’t myself. Charlie was possessing me, and I didn’t like it at all.
“Madigan, are you okay?” Bernie asked me loudly, but Charlie answered me instead. This was definitely not good. But I still had the ability to think. Maybe I could call Emily to me…no! The locket was gone. I was helpless to Charlie’s command and I couldn’t escape.
---------------------------------------
Back down on the first floor, Emily was thinking hard about how she could get out. She knew something was happening to Madigan and was in danger, but she couldn’t escape to go help her. This was a very sticky situation, especially since Madigan didn’t have the locket with her. She was wide open for Charlie to manipulate, kill, or something else unmentionable and unspeakable. As soon as she thought of manipulation, something inside of Emily stirred inside of her and she knew that’s what was happening to Madigan. She had to get out of there and fast! Charlie could do anything now with Madigan. But…there was one way to stop him…but Emily needed to be there to help her.
-----------------------------------------
“Someone needs to help me before Charlie tries to kill me here…” I thought to myself.
“No one can help you now Madigan. You are mine to control.” Charlie said. Oh crap, he can read my mind.
“So what now genius? Gonna prevent me from leaving the Seahawk?” I said aloud.
“Not only that, but something else as well…” Charlie said, his words coming out of my mouth. Ohhh freaky. This was so weird, but it would probably be weirder for someone possessed to talk one second and have the possessor speak out of the same mouth in a different voice the next. I could tell because Bernie was backing away slowly with this weird look on his face.
“Madigan…are you possessed?” Bernie asked me. I tried to answer, but Charlie stepped in.
“Where are you going old man? We have something fun for you to do…rather…for US to do, right Madigan?” Oh crap! Charlie was going to kill me just like Emily had been trying to do.
“No I’m not going to kill you Madigan. Someone else.” Charlie said. It suddenly got inside my brain what Charlie was going to make me do.
“BERNIE! RUN! NOW! YOU HAVE TO ESCAPE! GO ON WITHOUT ME!” I screamed, breaking past Charlie’s voice. Bernie turned on his heel and sprinted off. Charlie made my legs move and I had no choice but to obey.
-----------------------------------------------
So there I was, chasing after Bernie, my godfather, hunting him down and trying to kill him while Charlie was possessing my body. Where was Emily when you needed her? I really needed her help right now, but she was nowhere around.
“Even Emily can’t save you now.” Charlie said inside of my mind. Whoops. I forgot that he could read my mind. I saw some light ahead and saw Bernie running towards it. Charlie made me stop and stared after Bernie. What was he doing?
“You’ll see Madigan. Say good-bye to your friend Bernie.” Charlie said to me again. He made me wave my arms and there was a tingly feeling inside of me and I heard a strangled cry coming from Bernie. Charlie and I walked to the opening and saw Bernie hanging onto the ledge of the Seahawk. The ramp connecting Gus’s boat and the Seahawk had disappeared. Charlie made me stamp on Bernie’s fingers so he would fall. I tried to resist, but Charlie was much stronger than me inside of my own mind.
“Good-bye Madigan…” Bernie said. He was hanging by one finger again and I saw him wink at me. Before I could make myself scream, Bernie let go and plunged thousands of feet into the sea below. All that was left now was me.
------------------------------------------------
“Dam.n” Charlie said inside of my mind. I didn’t understand. Isn’t that what he wanted, to kill Bernie? He had done it (rather I had if you want to get technical about it), but now he felt angry. This was definitely weird: I could feel Charlie’s feelings and he could probably feel mine too.
“I needed his soul, but he didn’t die on the ship.” Charlie thought. I understood now. But why did Bernie have to die?
“MADIGAN! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!” A loud yet faint voice asked behind me. Charlie forced my body to face Emily.
“What are you doing here? I thought I trapped you inside of that room.” Charlie said through my mouth. Emily looked truly horrified.
“He HAS possessed her body…oh no.” she whispered to herself. I broke away from Charlie for a second to try and talk to Emily and this time I succeeded.
“Emily, help me get out of here!” I shouted. Charlie’s senses took over me again and I sank back into his possession.
“That’s it Madigan! Try and break free! Break away from his grasp!” Emily coached me. I tried with all of my might, but I couldn’t do it. Charlie was just too strong.
-------------------------------------------------------
“It’s not working. I need to do something.” Emily’s voice cut into my mind. Wait, what the heck? Now did Emily possess me as well? How many people could possess me at once?!
“Emily?” I asked.
“Madigan, I’m going to help you break free okay? But there’s a risk, but I think it’s worth it.” Emily said again inside of my head.
“What’s the risk?” I asked.
“You could die trying to break free away from your own body. But it’s worth it, because Charlie would die as well. Now listen to me closely.” Emily said to me.
“I’m possessing you right now. If you and I break free together, then we’ll escape and you’ll be free. I’m going to move to Charlie’s body to possess him instead so there’s no chance of you dying. Okay?” Emily asked.
“Yeah, but how do I break free?” I asked her.
“Think of anything that you love. Charlie can’t love so he’ll be prone to it. Can you do it?” Emily asked.
“Well, I don’t have much of a choice do I?” I said. It was now or never.
