Deadly Idea

*CHAPTER 1*

In a deep corner of an old, abandoned town, where children’s laughter and joyful voices had not resounded for years, stood a gloomy, ruined house. Everyone knew it was haunted, full of curses and shadows from the past. No one dared to approach this house, but one day a group of friends decided to cross the border and check if the stories about the haunted house were true.

It was a cold, foggy night when a group of young people sneaked into the house, covering their faces with hoods. The house seemed dead and silent, and the terrifying drawings on the walls and the broken mirror in the hallway heralded dark secrets.

Among them was Lucas, bold and curious, who led the group. He was sure he wasn't afraid of any ghosts and that it was just superstition. But even his courage began to wane when the door behind them suddenly closed and the key was gone.

While they were trying to find a way out, strange things started happening. Disturbing whispers spread throughout the house, and the invisible force pulling their clothes drew them into the dark underworld. Their flashlights began to fade, and they slowly forgot how to get back to the surface.

In the dark they saw the shadows dancing on the walls, and their breaths were heard louder and louder. Lucas discovered that the rest of his friends had disappeared and found himself in an isolated, enchanted space. The place was filled with dark memories that drew him more and more.

Suddenly he heard a scream that pierced his heart. It was the voice of one of his friends. He got scared, but he couldn't leave him alone. He ran through the nooks and crannies of the house, eventually finding his friend trapped in a cage around which there were strange signs and symbols.

Around them began to appear invisible hands, which grabbed them by the neck and tried to suffocate. Lucas knew they had to escape, but the key to the cage was missing. As they were near passing out, Lucas noticed a rusty saw hanging on the wall.

Without hesitation, he began to cut her through a metal cage. Blood and sweat were dripping down his face, but he knew it was his only chance to escape. Finally, the saw cut the last joined wire rods, and the hands disappeared. Lucas and his friend fell to the floor, suffocated and terrified.

They managed to get out of the house, but they weren't the same anymore. For years, they suffered from the trauma of that terrible night. The stories of the haunted house disappeared from their town, but Lucas never forgot the dark story.

And so began the legend of a house full of ghosts who seek revenge on anyone who dares to delve into its dark interior. Lucas warned everyone not to come in, but some of them were too curious anyway. The house attracted victims, and those who were lost in it were forever in the hands of its curse.

*CHAPTER 2*

As the years went by, Lucas, as much as he tried not to think about it, could not forget that terrible night. The trauma he endured took a toll on his heart and mind. He knew he had to do something to prevent further tragedies. He decided to begin researching the haunted house's past, believing that discovering its dark secrets would ultimately help end the curse.

His search led him to dusty files and archives, where he discovered the old chronicle of the town. According to the records, the house was once owned by the Crowley family, whose ancestors were notorious for cruelty and dark magic. History said that eventually the entire Crowley family disappeared without a trace, and the house was abandoned, attracting evil and dark forces.

Lucas learned that once in the cellars of the house, occult rituals were performed in which innocent souls were sacrificed. These sacrifices were supposed to provide the Crowleys with powerful powers, but in return, the family was cursed and their home became a haunt for terrifying ghosts.

Determined to unravel the curse and rid the town of terror, Lucas contacted a local exorcist named Gabriel. The exorcist was experienced at countering the dark forces and agreed to help.

Together, they came up with a plan to break the curse. From the chronicles and exorcism books, they discovered that the only way to end the visitation was to sacrifice with love and a pure heart. They had to find a person who would give his life to free the spirits and bring peace to the haunted house.

While searching the old legacy of the Crowley family, they discovered a forgotten story about a long dead boy who had been sacrificed in a ritual before he was born. His soul was the key to freeing the other spirits.

Lucas realized he had to make the decision. He was now a grown man, willing to risk his life to fix what had been broken. After much deliberation and a sleepless night filled with dreams from the past, he made a final decision.

He knew it might be the last time he saw his loved ones and friends, but he struggled with terror to be able to stand in front of the Crowley house, where it all began.

With Gabriel's help, they performed a ritual offering Lucas' soul to end the curse. The magic was powerful, and the energy of the dark spirits momentarily engulfed the whole town. But finally, something amazing happened. Lucas' sacrifice had a powerful effect on the spirits, which disappeared, and the house slowly calmed down.

As Lucas fell to the ground, a body full of energy, Gabriel quickly performed an exorcism to release the remnants of evil forces from his body. Lucas opened his eyes, and the sight he saw was even more astonishing than anything he had ever experienced.

Before him stood the spirit of a boy who had once been sacrificed in a ritual. The soul he had given was reincarnated and left with the spirits of the other Crowley family. The soul was released, and the curse was broken.

The town finally regained its peace, and the long-abandoned house ceased to be haunted. The legend of the haunted house disappeared from the minds of the inhabitants, and Lucas became a hero who sacrificed himself for the good of others.

Since then, the town has flourished again, and history has become a legend. The stories of Luke breaking the curse have been passed down from generation to generation. And Lucas? He understood that sometimes the greatest heroism lies in offering something most precious to repair the wrong and restore peace. And since then he has never ceased to be a true hero in the hearts of the townspeople.
