The Boy With Black Eyes

Dec 1, 2011

Two nights in a row now I've had the same dream. I wake up around 4 and there's this boy in my room, beside my bed. He's asking me to go play with him. But his/its eyes are completely black.

And both times it felt real. I mean, I know it's a dream. I'm obviously not being stalked by some Satan child. But it felt so real. And I had it twice! WTF, universe. Who's the god of dreams? Morpheus? Morpheus, you suck. No more creepy Satan child dreams.

In other news, Tony is still calling me. Which though admittedly less terrifying is probably the bigger issue in my life right now. Why won't the guy take a hint? I feel like I haven't been particularly subtle either. I hate letting nice guys down.

Anywho. Honors retreat Friday, so at least the week's looking up.

Fuck you, Morpheus! You are the worst god ever. Is there some kinda reporting system for gods? Can I tell Zues on him? Then again, I don't know if I want to be asking help from a guy that transforms into geese and goes raping.

But shit, it felt real. I pinched myself to see if I was awake and yes, all my senses were screaming that I was. Honestly, part of me is getting suspicious that these aren't dreams. Which I know makes me sound like a crazy person, but if you're questioning your sanity that means you're still sane, right?

Yeah and this time he started speaking in another language. "Nima rev rawf na won…"

Well, the retreat starts today and I'm rooming with Ash so if I wake up to any Satan child I can just be like, "Hey Ash, are you seeing this or am I just a crazy person? Oh yeah. I'm just crazy? Cool, thanks."

Happened again.

As soon as I get back, I'm going to a priest. Which I know is stupid, but I can't exactly call 911 here. And there's a Catholic church that keeps putting up flyers around my dorm. I'm pretty sure priests have some confidentiality thing. They can't tell on you unless you're a risk to yourself or others. Which I'm not, by the way. Just a crazy woman. Anywho, I doubt they ever actually face demons, but I'd imagine they at least have to deal with people who think they're being attacked by demons. Which I guess is me.

Want to hear the scariest thing I ever experienced? I wake up at around 4 and there's Satan Boy. And he's asking me to go play with him. I don't even respond to him, I just start screaming for Ash. And she doesn't answer. So I keep screaming until, eventually, she sits up and her eyes are completely black too. And she and the kid start chanting together. "Nima rev rawf na won sroy era yrawlg… live morph… morph su evas su…" That's as much as I can remember.

I tried googling the above chant. It didn't come up with anything.

Okay, so Shane heard me screaming last night. Was I screaming in my sleep?

Anywho, I told him about the nightmare. Not everything, but I mentioned the black eyed Satan child. And Shane starts going on about the "black eyed kids phenomenon" which apparently is a modern urban legend, where people claim that these kids with black eyes come up to their house or their car or wherever and ask to be let it. Or sometimes it's adults with black eyes. Anyway, I googled black eyed kid stories for like an hour and it's not making me feel any better. At all.

I did find one story that was kind of like mine. There was a couple on a beach and this black eyed kid comes up to them and asks for help. He wants them to come with him and they follow him to some other black eyed kids who're out in the water. So basically it's trying to take them out to sea. And suddenly they realize how the whole thing doesn't make sense and they're miles away from where they were. So they must have been walking for hours and not known it.

The theories behind the black eyed kids are (and please remember, this is all crazy people talking)—

  1. They are demons trying to possess you (which is kinda the vibe I've been getting).

  2. They are demon possessed people.

  3. They are vampires.

  4. They are human/alien hybrids.


So yeah.

Side note: I called home even though we're not supposed to have phones on the retreat. 6 missed calls from Tony. I've barely been gone 24 hours. I just texted him and told him to stop calling me. At this point who cares if I hurt his feelings.

Shane is apparently also crazy, which right now is surprisingly comforting. He found me this evening and asked if I thought the dream was real. I admitted it crossed my mind. He gave me a camera and told me I should tape myself tonight. See if we can get any proof of this thing. I don't know what I'd prefer—proof that I'm crazy but not being attacked by a demon or proof that I'm being attacked by a demon but at least I'm sane.

I had to take a couple dramamine to get to sleep. Anyway, here's the footage we got: Me, sleeping for a few hours. Then the camera switches off, for no apparent reason. Then it switches back on and I'm still in bed, sleeping.

People heard me screaming again.

I think the thing switched the camera off. I think it doesn't want to be found. This time I tried asking it why me. And it said, "Because we like you." We. And then I asked it what it was and it said it was a little boy, acting as though this was obvious. I asked what was wrong with its eyes and it just laughed. And then I asked if it was possessed by Satan.

"Nima rev rawf na won sroy era yrawlg et na rewop et modnik et… rawf live morph… morph su evas su… emock modnik roy… eman roy eb."

Back at my dorm. Shane's sleeping over tonight. Nothing sexual. He's convinced something's happening. I told him it would take over him, like it did with Ash. But honestly, I feel better with him here.

He said he has pendants from all the major religions. Cause apparently there are different demons from different religions. And if he wears them it shouldn't get him. Who's a crazy person like me to judge? And we're recording again. We've placed the camera so that nothing physical should be able to switch it off without being seen.

Still taking dramamine to get to sleep.

The thing came back again. It asked me to go play with it so I woke Shane. The thing freaked out at the sight of him. It started shrieking. Shane tried to cast it out, commanding it in the name of Jesus and Paul, then Allah and then the thing said "Die" and Shane's head twisted completely around. I heard it snap. Then the boy started chanting again.

I remember trying to get to my phone to call a hospital. Next thing I know, I'm on the floor and Shane's waking me up. But the thing is he remembered the boy snapping his neck.

And the camera stopped recording in the middle of the night. Shane says that means it's not physical.

Priests are bullshit. If you tell them you're being attacked by a demon they just ask if you've been stressed lately and suggest you see a school psychologist.

Ran into Tony. Apparently he heard about my dreams from the retreat. He'd also heard about black eyed kids. He says he knows how to take care of it. Apparently he's Wiccan or something. So I invited him over tonight. Shane will also be there again.

In any other situation I'd question my judgment. Sleepover with a guy who likes me and a guy I like. And Satan.

I think it's over.

Tony brought a bunch of raw meat and candles. He lit them around the dorm (don't tell Res Life), said some prayers and then we all went to bed. This time I had Shane sleep on the floor. I figured with Tony there it wasn't right for us to share a bed even if nothing was going on.

Tony was the only one who didn't need dramamine to sleep. In the middle of the night the thing showed up. Shane tried to cast it out again, but Tony told him to shut up. He says you have to show respect. He says you can't command these things by any name. Tony asked the boy what it wanted and the boy said it wanted to play with me. Tony said no, that can't happen. Then it said it wanted to play with Tony.

Tony offered it the raw meat. The boy said that wasn't good enough. Then Tony took out a knife and slit his palm open. He dripped some blood in front the boy and began chanting it.

But the boy said that still wasn't good enough. Then Tony agreed to play with it.

I don't know what happened. Suddenly I'm waking up again. Tony was in the living room, fixing breakfast. I asked what happened and he said it was over now. He said he was okay.

Got to sleep without dramamine last night. Finally. Tony was right, no more dreams.

Shane asked if I wanted to go to a party Saturday. I said yeah. I feel a bit bad about the Tony situation.

 

Dec 11, 2011

Tony ended up being at the party. Who invited him, I don't know. And he saw me and Shane together. And he wasn't happy.

Then, he starts going on about what he did for me. About how I don't know what he went through. About how he loves me and how I'm evil and mean. And then he says, "I did it all for you." And the way he said it, I don't know, but it made me wonder—did he send the black eyed kid after me? So he could save me from it.

And I'm thinking about that and it's beginning to make a lot of sense. Cause clearly he and that kid had an understanding. And Tony has friends at Res Life so maybe they helped sneak the kid into my room. And there are contact lenses that change your eye color. That doesn't explain Shane's neck or Ash being taken over, but I was going pretty crazy at that point. My state of mind must have added to this whole thing.

I don't know. But I think maybe nothing was going on after all. It makes more sense.

Shane told Tony to fuck off. As we left, Tony said the kid would be back for me. But, hey, if it's not an actual demon it can't take me over.

I love the way the story is told in diary form. the ending could have been more though, maybe tony could have appeared along with the little boy that night. But overall a great story!
