Jermy and the Red Locket
This is a scary story speaking of a boy whose life turns to loneliness once he finds a red locket near a graveyard. In spite of throwing it away it returns back to him that scares him to death.
Once upon a time there was a boy named Jermy who lived a happy life with his family and friends. He was a fifteen year old boy of class tenth who lived in a city in England. They lived in a small house near the central museum. On one of the days while Jay was heading back home after school, he found a black puppy on the road. He watched the puppy moving towards the graveyard area. He followed the puppy into the graveyard. It was then Jermy put himself into a never-ending trouble of facing loneliness and life long fear. As Jermy entered the graveyard he stopped near a stone that was near-by, some bright object attracted him. It was a chain to which a circular red color locket was attached. He leaned close to see the object and suddenly a man came screaming behind him "What are you looking for?" Jay got surprised and turned back to answer the man "I was just looking for a puppy." The man said "There is no puppy here, go back to your home boy." and walked away. Jay picked up the locket and went back home.
Jay called and talked about the red locket to his friends and they asked him to bring it to the school the following morning. Jay went to surf the Internet but his mother forced him to complete his school homework's first. At the end of the day, Jay had dinner and went to bed, excited to see his friends the next day. The next morning Jay woke up to find no one at home. He searched for his parents but there were not at home. He went to his neighbor 'Frank' to ask if his parents left him some message as they usually did. But Jay was shocked as 'Frank' was also not at home. Jay then went back home and used the telephone to dial his father's number but the line was dead. Jay tried to call his neighbor, his friend, his dad's friends but all the lines were dead. Jay then decided to call the police but in vain. Jay decided to go to the streets to ask people if they had any idea about what was going on. He walked for hours near the museum, in different areas but surprisingly he found no one. Jay was shocked to find out that there was no one in the city. He was all alone.
Jay was excited as he went to the supermarket and found no one. He ate whatever he wished to eat and in large quantities. He thought that he was in a dream but gradually he realized that it was not a dream. He was happy because there was no more supervision from parents, no more homework, only eating and playing. But as the day ended and Jay headed back home he started to feel lonely. He switched on the television but all the channels were showing red screen. He tried to surf the Internet, but all the websites displayed red screens only. This scared him a lot and he went to his bedroom to think of whatever was happening around.
As soon he went to his bedroom he remembered the locket that he found the last day near the graveyard. He then got up from his bed to bring the locket from the drawer. He took it and kept it in his pocket, and suddenly he heard the clock ringing twelve in the midnight "Tonggg...Tonggg... Tonggg." After a while he heard a strange voice of a lady "Help me, help me". Jay got so scared that he couldn't move from his place as the sound was just outside his bedroom. After a second thought Jay ran to the door and locked it. Then he hurried to his drawer picked up a knife, sat on the bed and waited. After a while the voice was heard again "Help me Jermy... Jermiii... Open the door.. Jermiii." Jay could not control himself and he screamed "Don't come to me, I have a knife..." After sometime the voice was not heard again but Jay decided to stay in bed. Jay tried to convince himself that it was a bad dream and gradually he slept as he couldn't keep himself awake due to tiredness.
The next morning Jay woke up and found him in the same position he slept last night and prayed for everything to be back to normal. He then took the knife in his hand and opened his bedroom door and ran to the living room and cried "Mom, Dad where are you?" But there was no response. He then went again outside and found no one. He suddenly remembered about the locket. He started thinking that all the things were related the red color, the locket, the TV channels, and the Internet websites. He decided to go back to the graveyard and throw the locket back from the place he picked it from. He went to the graveyard and suddenly he saw the same puppy in the graveyard. He was scared to see the puppy as he saw no living creature the last day.
A thought came to his mind and he realized that the locket had some kind of magical powers but he was no longer interested to keep the locket. He threw the locket back to its place and then ran away to his home. He had some fruits in the refrigerator and decided not to go anywhere till tomorrow. He tried to use the television and the Internet again but red screens were again appearing at in all the channels. It was then Jay hated the red color and thought it to be the worst color in the universe. He spent hours praying and remembering the moments he had with his family. At nine pm he locked all the doors, kept the knife with him and went to bed.
The next morning Jay woke up with the sound of his bedroom door. Somebody was knocking and calling his name. Suddenly Jay screamed "Mom". Jay jumped out of his bed, opened the door and hugged his mother. His mother cried "Jay, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?". Jay cried and explained her everything that happened to him. His mother replied saying that "Jay, you just had a bad dream last night." Jay replied saying that "I am confused mom, but I don't think I was dreaming". Jay's mother held his hand and told him to forget about the dream and to get ready for school. Jay got ready and headed to the school to explain his friends about the events. He explained his friends all that he faced and they decided to go to the graveyard and take a look at the locket.
In the afternoon Jay went with his friends to the graveyard, but this time he neither found the puppy nor the locket. His friends said Jay was either dreaming or lying. Jay was depressed as none of his friends believed him and he decided to go back home. He reached home and he kept thinking of the locket while having dinner with his family and suddenly he heard the voice again "Jermiee... Help me". Jay saw his surroundings and asked his mother about the voice but she was engaged in unpacking a parcel they just received. When Jay saw the parcel box which was in red, he suddenly shouted and said "Mom don't open the pack" but it was too late. His mom was already holding a chain with the red locket.
