A valentine day horror

By SundarPublished 3 years ago 8 min read

As the night fell on Valentine's Day, Mia and her boyfriend Jack decided to take a romantic stroll in the woods. The full moon cast an eerie glow on the trees, but they paid no attention to it as they were lost in each other's company.

As they walked deeper into the woods, they suddenly heard a strange sound. It was a mix of a growl and a moan. They looked around but couldn't see anything. Just then, they noticed that the trees around them had grown thorns and were closing in on them, forming a tight circle.

Mia and Jack tried to push their way through the thorns, but they were too sharp and strong. Suddenly, the ground beneath them started to shake, and the thorns grew longer and sharper. They realized that they were trapped in a living, breathing nightmare.

Just then, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a woman, dressed in a tattered white gown, with long black hair covering her face. Mia and Jack tried to scream for help, but their voices were caught in their throats.

The woman approached them slowly, her eyes glowing red in the moonlight. She extended her hand towards them, and they felt a sudden surge of energy course through their bodies. They were both paralyzed, unable to move or speak.

The woman leaned in and whispered in Jack's ear, "I have been waiting for you for a long time, my love." Jack tried to resist, but he felt a strange attraction towards her. Mia watched in horror as the woman kissed Jack on the lips and disappeared into the shadows.

Mia was left alone, in the midst of the thorns and the shaking ground. She knew she had to find a way out before it was too late. But as she looked around, she realized that she was not alone. Dozens of pairs of glowing red eyes were staring at her from the darkness, waiting to claim their next victim.

Mia's heart pounded in her chest as she realized the full horror of her situation. She was trapped in a nightmare, surrounded by unknown creatures with glowing red eyes. She couldn't move her body, but her mind raced with fear and panic.

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the darkness, cutting through the thorns and the shaking ground. It was Jack's voice, but it sounded strange and distant, like it was coming from another world. "Mia, run! You have to get out of here! Leave me behind, I'm lost!"

Mia felt a surge of determination wash over her. She knew she had to find a way out, for Jack's sake and for her own. She closed her eyes and focused all her energy on breaking through the thorns.

With a sudden burst of strength, Mia pushed her way through the thorns and emerged on the other side. She stumbled into a clearing, where the moon shone brightly on a small, abandoned church.

Mia ran towards the church, hoping to find refuge inside. As she reached the door, she noticed a strange symbol carved into the wood. It was a heart, but it was twisted and distorted, like something out of a nightmare.

Mia pushed open the door and stepped inside. The church was dark and silent, but she could hear strange whispers and whispers coming from the shadows. She looked around, trying to find a way out.

That's when she saw it. A figure, standing in the darkness. It was the woman in the tattered gown, with her glowing red eyes and long black hair. She held Jack's hand, and he looked pale and lifeless.

The woman turned towards Mia, and her eyes widened with hunger. "You can't escape me," she hissed. "You're mine now."

Mia realized that she was facing something beyond her understanding, something that was not of this world. But she refused to give up. She had to fight, for Jack and for herself.

With a deep breath, Mia charged towards the woman, her heart pounding in her chest. She closed her eyes and braced herself for impact.

And then, everything went black.

Mia's body hit the woman's and for a moment everything stopped. It was like they were suspended in time, frozen in the air, their bodies locked in a fierce embrace.

Suddenly, a burst of light shone from Mia's chest, illuminating the darkness around them. The woman shrieked in pain and released her grip on Jack. Mia felt a sudden surge of energy as she pushed the woman away, breaking free from her grasp.

The woman stumbled back, her eyes glowing red with fury. "You can't stop me!" she screamed. "I am eternal! I will always be here!"

But Mia refused to back down. She had found a strength inside her that she never knew existed, a strength fueled by her love for Jack and her determination to survive.

With a fierce determination, Mia charged towards the woman again. The two collided with a burst of energy, their bodies slamming against each other like two opposing forces.

And then, with a sudden burst of light, the woman disappeared. The darkness lifted, and the thorns and shaking ground disappeared. Mia and Jack were left alone in the church, their bodies battered but alive.

Mia held Jack in her arms, her heart overflowing with love and gratitude. They had survived the nightmare, and they had done it together.

As they walked out of the church, they noticed that the moon had set and the sun was rising. The world was bathed in a soft, warm light, and the birds were singing in the trees.

Mia and Jack looked at each other, and they knew that they would never forget the horror they had faced that Valentine's Day. But they also knew that they had found a love that was stronger than any nightmare, a love that would keep them together through anything that life might throw their way.

As they walked back to their home, Mia and Jack shared a deep sense of relief and gratitude. They had made it through the night, but they knew that their lives would never be the same again.

They had both seen things that defied explanation, things that made them question everything they had ever known. But they also knew that they had each other, and that was enough.

They spent the rest of Valentine's Day in each other's arms, savoring the warmth and comfort of their love. They didn't speak much about what had happened, but they knew that it would always be a part of their story, a reminder of the darkness they had faced and the light that had brought them through.

In the years that followed, Mia and Jack built a life together, filled with joy and love and laughter. They never forgot the horror they had faced that Valentine's Day, but they also knew that they had overcome it together.

And every Valentine's Day, they would take a moment to remember the darkness they had faced and the light that had brought them through. They would hold each other close and savor the warmth and comfort of their love, knowing that it was stronger than any nightmare.

As time passed, Mia and Jack continued to cherish their love for each other, and they never forgot the horror they had faced on that fateful Valentine's Day. They were determined to live each day to the fullest, grateful for every moment they had together.

But even as they moved forward with their lives, a lingering fear remained. They both knew that the darkness they had faced was not something that could be easily forgotten.

One day, several years later, they received an unexpected visitor. It was a woman, with long black hair and glowing red eyes. Mia and Jack recognized her immediately. It was the woman from their nightmare, the one they had defeated on that Valentine's Day.

The woman smiled at them, a strange mix of kindness and malice. "I know you're scared," she said. "But you don't need to be. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to thank you."

Mia and Jack were stunned. They had never expected to see the woman again, and they certainly never expected her to thank them.

The woman continued. "You see, I was trapped in that nightmare for centuries. I was alone, lost, and afraid. But you showed me a way out. You showed me that there was still light in the world, even in the darkest of places."

Mia and Jack exchanged a glance, unsure of what to make of the woman's words.

The woman smiled again, a sad smile this time. "I know I frightened you, and I'm sorry for that. But I wanted to come here today to thank you, and to tell you that you have a strength and a love that is truly remarkable. You faced the darkness and you emerged stronger for it. I may be eternal, but you are the ones with true power."

And with that, the woman disappeared, leaving Mia and Jack alone with their thoughts.

As they sat in silence, Mia and Jack realized that the woman had given them a gift. She had shown them that even in the darkest of places, there was still light to be found. She had shown them that love was stronger than any nightmare.

And as they looked at each other, they knew that they would always remember the horror they had faced on that Valentine's Day, but they would also remember the strength and love that had brought them through. They would continue to cherish each other, grateful for every moment they had together, and they would never forget the lessons they had learned in the darkness.

Mia and Jack lived the rest of their lives with a sense of peace and gratitude. They knew that they had faced something truly terrifying, but they had also found a strength and love that was unbreakable.

In the years that followed, they shared their story with others, hoping to inspire them to find their own strength and love in the face of adversity.

And on every Valentine's Day, they would take a moment to remember the darkness they had faced and the light that had brought them through. They would hold each other close, savoring the warmth and comfort of their love, and they would give thanks for the gift they had been given: the gift of each other.

As they grew old together, Mia and Jack knew that their time in this world was limited. But they were at peace, knowing that they had lived a life filled with love and purpose.

And when their time finally came, they faced it with the same strength and love that had brought them through their darkest days. They held each other close, knowing that even in death, they would always be together.

As they took their final breaths, they smiled at each other, grateful for the gift of their love. They knew that they would be remembered not for the horror they had faced, but for the love and strength that had brought them through.

And in that moment, Mia and Jack knew that they had truly lived, and that their love would endure for all eternity.
