Creepy Chronicles of Colaiste Chiarain

The​ ​devil's​ ​lair​ ​by​ ​Senan​ ​Karsanov​ ​Murphy
It​ ​was​ ​a​ ​dark​ ​and​ ​gloomy​ ​night.You​ ​were​ ​left​ ​alone​ ​in​ ​the​ ​school​ ​to
lock​ ​up.​ ​You’re​ ​rushing​ ​to​ ​lock​ ​all​ ​the​ ​doors​ ​as​ ​you​ ​are​ ​afraid​ ​of​ ​being
alone​ ​for​ ​too​ ​long.​ ​You​ ​start​ ​to​ ​hear​ ​the​ ​pitter​ ​patter​ ​of​ ​the​ ​rain​ ​hitting​ ​the
windows.​ ​“O​ ​shoot”​ ​you​ ​mumble​ ​to​ ​yourself.​ ​As​ ​you​ ​are​ ​heading​ ​to​ ​unlock
the​ ​last​ ​door​ ​you​ ​hear​ ​your​ ​car​ ​alarm​ ​go​ ​off​ ​in​ ​the​ ​distance.​ ​You​ ​lock​ ​the
last​ ​door​ ​and​ ​grab​ ​your​ ​umbrella​ ​to​ ​go​ ​check​ ​out​ ​your​ ​car.
As​ ​you​ ​stop​ ​the​ ​alarm​ ​you​ ​see​ ​a​ ​strange​ ​figure​ ​standing​ ​in​ ​the​ ​field
in​ ​the​ ​distance.​ ​“Hello”​ ​you​ ​shout​ ​as​ ​you​ ​head​ ​over​ ​to​ ​see​ ​if​ ​you​ ​could​ ​see
this​ ​figure.​ ​You​ ​stop​ ​in​ ​the​ ​middle​ ​of​ ​the​ ​field​ ​looking​ ​around​ ​when​ ​all​ ​of​ ​a
sudden​ ​the​ ​ground​ ​starts​ ​to​ ​grumble​ ​underneath​ ​your​ ​feet​ ​and​ ​you​ ​start​ ​to
fall.
You​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​stop​ ​yourself​ ​from​ ​falling​ ​and​ ​manage​ ​to​ ​slide​ ​down.
You​ ​don't​ ​know​ ​how​ ​long​ ​you​ ​were​ ​sliding​ ​for​ ​until​ ​BAM!​ ​You​ ​hit
something​ ​cold​ ​and​ ​hard.​ ​Pain​ ​engulfs​ ​your​ ​body​ ​and​ ​you​ ​start​ ​to​ ​hear
footsteps​ ​in​ ​the​ ​distance.​ ​You​ ​reach​ ​for​ ​your​ ​phone​ ​and​ ​to​ ​turn​ ​on​ ​the​ ​light
and​ ​point​ ​it​ ​at​ ​where​ ​you​ ​think​ ​the​ ​footsteps​ ​are​ ​coming​ ​from.​ ​You​ ​see​ ​a
tall​ ​menacing​ ​figure​ ​with​ ​red​ ​robes​ ​and​ ​a​ ​pointy​ ​mask​ ​holding​ ​a​ ​bat.​ ​You
try​ ​to​ ​speak​ ​but​ ​before​ ​you​ ​do​ ​the​ ​man​ ​takes​ ​a​ ​swing​ ​and​ ​you​ ​black​ ​out.
You​ ​wake​ ​up​ ​to​ ​the​ ​sound​ ​of​ ​chanting​ ​and​ ​cheering.​ ​They​ ​are
carrying​ ​you​ ​upside​ ​down​ ​by​ ​a​ ​pole​ ​which​ ​is​ ​tied​ ​to​ ​your​ ​hands​ ​and​ ​feet.
As​ ​you​ ​sway​ ​you​ ​start​ ​to​ ​feel​ ​nauseous.​ ​You​ ​try​ ​to​ ​escape​ ​but​ ​the​ ​pain
was​ ​just​ ​too​ ​unbearable.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​distance​ ​the​ ​chanting​ ​you​ ​heard​ ​starts​ ​to
get​ ​louder​ ​and​ ​louder.​ ​You​ ​stop​ ​and​ ​your​ ​capturers​ ​stop​ ​and​ ​open​ ​a
massive​ ​door​ ​and​ ​a​ ​wave​ ​of​ ​heat​ ​hits​ ​you.​ ​As​ ​you​ ​are​ ​carried​ ​into​ ​the
room​ ​you​ ​see​ ​a​ ​ring​ ​of​ ​fire​ ​and​ ​an​ ​altar​ ​in​ ​the​ ​middle.​ ​You​ ​look​ ​around​ ​and
see​ ​hundreds​ ​of​ ​people​ ​wearing​ ​the​ ​same​ ​red​ ​robe​ ​and​ ​mask.​ ​You​ ​look
and​ ​realise​ ​the​ ​room​ ​is​ ​massive​ ​with​ ​a​ ​big​ ​dome​ ​ceiling.​ ​You​ ​are​ ​carried
into​ ​the​ ​centre​ ​and​ ​placed​ ​onto​ ​the​ ​altar.​ ​One​ ​of​ ​your​ ​capturers​ ​notices
