 The Witch's Eye




My name is Jack Benson, I'm a Police Dectective, I investigate the supernatural. Here is how it all started.
      The Witch's Eye was a bar in the middle of the town but it is no longer there because of the fire. It was completely destroyed.
       It was Friday 13th. The building started to shake. Everyone was crying and screaming. Bottles and glasses were smashing all around the place and on us. The floor cracked open, something flowed out. It grabbed one of the customers and tore his head off and tossed the body into the hole, blood poured everywhere. The demon looked at us with one eye. Its body was like a serpent and it had arms like an octopus with flames all around it. Other creatures came out too and flowed all around the bar and where picking up bottles and smashing them at us. We were in the corner of the bar trying to get out. One of the barstaff ran to the bar door to get out but she was stopped by two small demon creatures who picked her up and tossed her to the big demon. It grabbed her and played with her before it tore her body into two parts and tossed it back to the small demons who ate her flesh. The big demon turned around and looked at us and said, "I'm the demon priestess. I want the witch's eye and I will kill you all".
       I looked at Kate (she was the manager of the bar) and said to her, "We have to get everyone out of here". But the demon tried to grab Kate with one of its octopus arms but I got in the way. One of its other arms pushed me out of the way into the wall. I managed to get back up before the demon priestess had grabbed Kate. I picked up a wine bottle and threw it at the creature and hit it. The bottle smashed in its face. The creature was so angry that it tossed Kate into me. She hit me with force and we ended up behind the bar. We heard screaming coming from the creature.
       I noticed the bar staff and customers going into the kitchen so we managed to sneak passed the small creatures and into the kitchen where the others were. Some of us were frightened. One of the customers shouted, "We have to get out of here". Kate got up from the floor and slapped his face to stop him from shouting.
      "Stop the shouting" said Kate. Everyone looked at Kate and me. I asked Kate if she had keys for the back door of the kitchen. Kate replied, "No, I left them upstairs in my office". One of the bar staff and a customer went around the corner to get to the back door. They stopped suddenly, looked and saw two of the small creatures waiting at the back door with chains around the door and their claws. The small creatures looked at them and chased them back around the corner. I was talking to the others about how to get out of there. The bar staff and customer ran towards us and shouted, "Look out". One of the creatures grabbed the customer's hair and pulled him back towards the other creatures.
       I noticed some kitchen knives hanging up on the wall. I took one of the knives and threw it at it. The knife hit the creature in the chest. The force of the knife stuck the creature on to the kitchen wall and it let the customer go. The other creatures flew out and back into the bar. The bar staff and the customer said the back door was chained up to stop us from getting out. I looked around the kitchen to see if there were anything I could use to break the chain. I noticed at the side of the table a catering tin-opener so I picked it up and handed it to the customer who tried to break the chain.
       The others were building a barricade at the kitchen door to stop the creatures and the demon priestess getting in. At the back door, the customers and bar staff tried to force the chains off but could not break them. I looked out at the side of the door to the bar. I saw the demon priestess and the small demon ripping everything in the bar. The demon priestess saw me looking out. It came towards the kitchen door and pushed it in, I fell backwards and hit the table with force and landed on the floor. Kate helped me up and the others tried to stop the demon getting in. One of its arms came in and tried to grab us. We all tried to keep it out of the kitchen. One of the bar staff picked up a knife, chopped its arms off and its scream was so loud. We all fell to the floor with our hands to our ears but the pain Was so great it nearly shattered our ears. The screaming stopped. We all managed to get back up to our feet. Kate noticed the blood, it was melting the pan under the table. Kate said, "Look down". We all turned around to see what was happening.
       The demon's blood was melting the pans. I asked one of the bar staff to try to take the demon blood in a pan to the back door and pour some on a to the chains so it would melt them.
       I said to Kate, "I noticed some small bottles of gas behind the bar and if we all get out I will stay till I get rid of all the demons and priestess".
      At the back door the bar staff with the customer put some blood on to the chain. It started to melt. The bas staff ran back to the others. The customer watched the chain melt. He was just about to turn back to the others when something grabbed his hair and pulled him back towards it. We heard him cry out for help. We all ran around the corner and saw the creature with the customer. It was trying to kill him with its claws around his neck. I saw the big tin-opener on the floor. I picked it up and hit the creature on the head. The creature's head splattered everywhere, its blood poured over the customer. He died instantly with the creature's blood burnt through him. The chains fell to the floor. I kicked the back door and it opened. We all ran outside to the lane and to the front where all the emergency services were. The rain was pouring down heavily. I was outside with Kate and I said to her,"I am going back to destroy the demons and priestess. I will use the small gas bottles to make a bomb. You have to tell the emergency services to get everyone out of the way, back to the other side of the square". Kate ran around the corner and turned to see me go back in. When she got to the square, she saw a police officer and told him to get everyone away from the building. The police officer asked, "Who is in the building?" Kate replied, "Jack Benson". He looked surprised.
       Back in the kitchen, I started to move the barricade from the door to get behind the bar to get the gas bottles. I noticed the demon priestess and other creatures were searching the Witch's Eye. I managed to get the gas bottles back into the kitchen to start to make the bomb. I found some some tape so I put the bottles together. One hour later I was ready to face the demon priestess and its small creatures. I managed to get back into the bar and was just about to throw the gas bottles when the demon priestess saw me. It octopus arms grabbed me. I tried to break free but the gas bottles fell out of my hand and into the hole. I got my arms free so I took out my pocketknife and stabbed the demon's eye. Its scream was so loud.
        It tossed me into the wall and I fell to the floor. Some bricks fell on top of me. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed something shinning. I took it out of the wall, it looked like a crystal ball and I put it into my pocket.
        The demon priestess saw me. I managed to get up and was just about to leave, to get back into the kitchen when it grabbed me again and another arm tried to take the crystal ball out of my pocket. It said, "Give me the witch's eye, I command you!" I replied, "Go to Hell". It tossed me around the place and my life flashed before my eyes. I started to smell the gas. The gas bottles must have cracked open. They started to glow and then exploded.
         I was thrown out of the bar window and landed near the statue in the middle of the square. Kate saw me land, she ran towards me with help. I tried to get up but I could not. My leg was badly hurt. Kate looked at me and she wiped my face with a handkerchief to get the blood off. I noticed her face, it was in shock. I asked her what was wrong. She said, "One of your eyes is missing". A paramedic put a bandage to cover a part of the face. He and Kate picked me up and took me to the ambulance. Before I was put into the ambulance I shouted "Stop!". I needed to see the bar. Kate and I stood at the site of the bar. The fire was out and the building was completely destroyed.
         At the hospital, a doctor said, "You need to have an operation to your right eye. We can replace it with a glass eye". I looked at Kate who said, "It's up to you if you want to go ahead". I replied to the doctor, "You can go ahead with it". The emergency operation went ahead.
         Four hours later I came to. Kate was at the side of my bed. I asked her what had happened. Before she said anything a doctor came to see if I was all right. I replied, "I feel that a log hit me". The doctor said, "I will be taking the bandages off tomorrow. The doctor said, "I will let you get a good night sleep". Kate kissed me and said, "Good night". Kate and the doctor left the room.
         That night, the nurse gave me something to to make me relaxed. I fell asleep and the nightmare started. I was in the bar with the demon priestess and I felt I had the witch's eye because I could see thing differently.
         The demon priestess was using its octopus arms to squeeze my life out of me to get the witch's eye out. I woke up suddenly, sweating all over. I was trying to take the bandages off to see what I looked like.
          A nurse came in and tried to stop me from taking the bandages off. I asked the nurse to get me a mirror out of her handbag and hand it to me so I could see what I looked like. I saw my right eye. It was changing colour and I noticed some people in the room looking at  me. I said to the nurse, "Who are all these people?". She looked around and said, "It is just me in the room with you". The nurse gave me another sleeping tablet and she left, but I did not take it. I was hearing voices asking me for help. I realised I must have the witch's eye. It could have been a mistake, but why? I noticed sunlight was coming through the window and the clock on the wall was a six.
          A nurse came in to the room. She said, "Good morning and how are you today". An hour had passed when the consultant with his assistant came into the room. He noticed the bandage was off and asked me why. I told him about it. He looked puzzled and left the room.

         The consultant's assistant said, "You got the wrong glass eye in. We could not find the one that was meant to go in. Somehow we found one next to your clothes and thought it was to replace the lost one so we put it in. It was about two hours after the operation we found the lost one next to the operating theatre. It was smashed. We can replace it right away if you want to. I replied, "No I will keep it in".
          About three o'clock I was ready to go home. Kate came to pick me up. Once in the car I asked her to stop at the place which had been the Witch's Eye Bar. In the middle of the ruined building I noticed some dark shadows going around in the mist. One of the dark shadows pointed, its eyes looked at me and it said, "I will be revenged".
