Curse of the Black Chair

New Year’s has just ended and the seasons are changing, today marks the start of the new spring season along with the second semester of Belezenof High School. Standing in front of the school gates Karina’s eyes filled with tears. “Why do we have to drag our miserable lives here for another semester” mumbled Karina like an incantation. A sudden slap on her back bought her to reality. It was her best friend Nadia. They were both 3rd year students getting ready for their final exams. Walking inside the school grounds Shaun and Morin joined Karina and Nadia. These four has been friends since elementary school. All of them had only one dream to follow to study about supernatural activities and find explanations to those unexplained events. Even in school they have formed a club called Supernatural Activities. Head of the team was Shaun his words are like law. Everyone in the club admired his passion for this subject.

Inside the classroom these four were always together in other word inseparable. They were just like any other 3rd year students love to gossip, hang out, shop, eat and fool around. But when it comes down to club activities Shaun was strict has ever. At the end of the day these four would go to their club room to discuss reason events shown on television, published on newspapers or magazines and many more.

Finally after long hours of boring study sessions it was time for their personal happiness. Cleaning up the classroom together all of them went down to their club room. Upon opening the door there was a boy sitting inside. Shaun’s face lit up and went straight in to business. “Hello lad, how can we help you” said Shaun. “I am Fuji, 1st year class C. Please come with me to the music room in the abandoned building” said this young boy. Without another word all five of them were standing in front of the old school building which has been abandoned for some time. Students weren’t allowed to go, so these four never went. It was really smelly inside and gave the chills to everyone of them. Nearing the music room Karina asked “Why do you want us to go to the abandoned music room, Fuji?” the boy just looked at Karina and said nothing. Standing face to face with the music room Shaun opened the door slowly, it creaked so much they all thought the door will fall off its hinges. As soon as they entered the room the door closed shut trapping them inside, Nadia tried opening the door but it was locked “Guys, it’s locked, it won’t budge, what shall we do?” Nadia hesitated. “Calm Down, we’ll think of something” said Morin calming her down. Shaun has found his way around and switched on the lights to their surprise Fuji was not inside the room. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. When they start to explore the room all they found was an old grand piano and a rusty old black chair next to it and nothing else inside the room. Shaun went over to the chair and sat down when suddenly he was pushed of the chair and straight to the floor. Everyone was shocked but also they were tingling with excitement have they all finally come across supernatural activity. Shaun back on his feet tried sitting down again on the chair, this time it pulled back causing Shaun to fall again. This was not coincidence it happened twice with witnesses. Suddenly the lights went off and came again instantly revealing Fuji sitting on the chair. Totally freaked out the four looked at Fuji. “Fuji, who are you? What is happening?” questioned Shaun. “8 years ago I was murdered in this very room on that very chair, I adored music this was the grand piano I always practiced my music. I was happy back then until that one day. My music teacher Mr. Damien poisoned me. He hated my mother for not agreeing to his marriage proposal and to take revenge on her he killed me in this very room and made it looked like a locked room suicide and the case was closed. Mr. Damien got away with justice leaving my mother in eternal pain. I want you to bring me justice or else I will not be able to leave this place.” The lights flickered, Fuji disappeared, the grand piano cover opened and revealed a document and the doors opened. Taking the document Shaun went through the details, it held all the facts that Mr. Damien was responsible for this murder. Leaving the abandoned building they all went straight to the teachers’ lounge on their way they called the police to back them up. Revealing all the hidden facts on those documents Mr. Damien was proven to be guilty for the murder of Fuji 8 years ago and was arrested by the police. On their way back to their club room they saw Fuji’s figure waving them good bye and disappeared in to thin air. Looking out the window “Hey, look the black chair it’s in the garbage” yelled Karina. It was their first real case, solving it was their pride, looking out the window all four of them was ready as ever to follow their dream. Back at the club room Shaun announced “this case will be named as Curse of the Black Chair. Nadia write a full report on what happened today for tomorrow’s meeting. End of the day, Lets go home guys”. Closing their business on today’s events.
