“Charlie Charlie Are You There?”

On a Halloween night Trace and Isaac stare at the two balanced pencils, they ask “Charlie Charlie are you there?” No answer. They ask again, still no answer. Then they light a candle, they ask again. The light of the candle starts blinking and swaying, as the the pencil points to yes, they here a door creak open.

After 10 minutes of hiding in fright, Trace says, “let’s go check it out”. Then Isaac says as he’s shaking, “let’s try asking another question to see if it was a fluke.” So they sneaked back to the balanced pencils, it is still pointing to yes. They ask, “Charlie Charlie was your response a fluke?” The pencil moves straight to no and they hear creaky footsteps upstairs! Trace asks,” Charlie Charlie are you in the house?’’ Then all at once the lights  and the candle went out! Isaac and Trace were too stunned to move, they just sat there in complete fear.

Isaac uses his phone as a flash light. They both see the pencil has shifted to yes. Trace says, “ we have to get out of here!” But as they run to the door, they see a small shadow . So they run to the back door, the shadow is there too! Trace says, “Maybe we should ask him if we can leave.”

So they crept back to the balanced pencils, they ask, “Charlie Charlie can we leave?” Then the phone rings. Trace answers the phone and he hears a soft whisper . Isaac see’s Trace’s eyes widen up. Trace gets off the phone and says, “Charlie said he is right behind us and that we can’t leave.” Neither Trace nor Isaac dared to look behind them.

“Trace, what do we do?’’ Isaac asked. “Do not look back, I repeated  DO NOT LOOK BACK!” said Trace. Trace looked over at Isaac and saw tears streaming down his cheeks. Isaac says as he’s crying, “Charlie Charlie are you going to hurt us?” There was no answer. He asked again, but there still wasn’t an answer. Isaac looked over at Trace and saw Trace just sitting there looking straight ahead not moving.

Isaac asks,” Charlie Charlie are you inside of Trace?” And Trace reaches over and cliches the pencil and moves it to yes. Isaac was now calling the police, as he dialled the number into the phone, a strong force wiped it right out of his hand. He looks over at Trace, but he is no longer on the couch, he was slowly walking towards him.

Isaac picked up the phone and ran,  he barely dialled 911 this time before the phone flew out of his hand. He screamed violently so the police would hear, he knew they would track the phone somehow. Finally, Isaac thought of the idea to hurt the demon.   

Isaac ran to his room. He grabbed a baseball bat and Trace was only a couple steps behind him. Then he turned and swinged, he made perfect contact with Trace’s head. It did not affect the demon one bit. Trace grabbed Isaac viciously, ripping his shirt. Isaac tried to run but the force was to strong. As he fell to the ground he heard police pulling into the driveway.

Isaac heard the front door fly open. As he screamed for help, the vicious demon bit a chunk out of Isaac’s arm. Blood squirted from his arm, and he screamed. The police came in and pulled Trace off of Isaac. They took the boys into custody.

They both were taking in to get interviewed. Isaac claimed that his friend had been possessed, the police told him that Trace would be taken to mental assilem. Trace simply banged his head on a wall the whole interview. Isaac didn’t care what the police said, he called his local priest to come to the police station to do an exorcism.

The priest showed up, and took a look at Trace and instantly told the police he would be doing an exorcism. They said no, but this did not stop the priest. The police agreed to give him 3 minutes to prove himself. He went in the room with Trace. The priest showed him jesus’s cross. Going absolutely insane, the demon was cursing, screaming, and yelling. Believing the priest, the police strapped the vicious demon down and started the exorcism.

The priest threw holy water on the demon’s face and started reading from the bible. Trace was now going nuts, crying out swear words and screeching. He was now calling for  the spirits above. Trace’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, Isaac was watching in fright as his friend was going insane.

The demon began to smile, his head twisted all the way around. Things were not going well for the priest, Isaac came up with an idea. He thought of the Charlie Charlie pencil game, what had started it all.  So maybe it would end it.

Isaac pulled the priest a side, he told him how it all started and how the possession happened in the beginning . There plan was to play the game, ask him questions, and hopefully make the demon so uncomfortable it will leave.

They set the pencils up and started playing, Isaac asked, “charlie charlie are you there?” Trace grabbed the pencil and moved it to yes. Then Isaac asked, “Charlie Charlie are you evil?” The demon left the pencil pointing to yes. After that Isaac asked,” Charlie Charlie do you love the lord?” And of course he moved it to no. Isaac called the priest into the room.

The priest started praying for God to help Trace overcome the demon. Trace looked at the corner of a room, he started screaming, yelling and cursing again. At that instant Isaac knew there was an angel was in the room. So to aggravate the demon he asked,”Charlie Charlie is there an spirit in the room?” Trace moved the pencil to yes. Isaac asked, “Charlie is it an angel?” Instead of the pencil moving, Isaac heard Trace’s soft voice say yes. He knew it was over, he ran to Trace and gave him a hug.
