The Mistress Of Evil



The long dim shadows,
Of surrounding trees,
The hooting sound of an owl,
With enchanting whispers of the breeze,
The wind blowing and the leaves rustling,
It was as if nature was singing something enigmatic,
The insects buzzing and the bats clicking,
The enchanting forest seemed unnervingly mystic.

Midnight had come, the forest was thickening,
The light coming from the lamp was slowly diminishing,
The owls were screeching, distressing shadows were appearing,
It was as if nature was haunting the human being,
I encouraged myself, I never stopped walking,
I was reaching the end, it was unusually relieving,
The forest had reached it's extremity, I saw what I was searching for,
It was a peculiar house, I must say, something I had never seen before.

The rusting iron gate creaked open, as I entered the ultimate doom,
The lamp blew out, engulfing me into darkness, as I entered the special room,
The moonlight coming from the window, shone upon something very horrifying,
It was a woman with her eyes plucked out, her body slowly rising,
Her screams were unheard when she was killed in her mortal body,
She was thirsty for vengeance, ready to drink the blood of anybody,
I got possessed by the newfound evil, who was ready to cause the unrivalled destruction,
I become the unparalleled mistress of evil, who was eager to tear everyone apart.
