“Some promises are worse than death… and last forever.”
In the cold, sterile corridors of Saint Judas Hospital, an unsettling silence often lingered. Ethan, a boy admitted after a severe accident, was transferred to a new room. There, he met Mia, a girl his age who had been hospitalized for months. Despite Mia’s sweet smile, something about her made him uneasy.
One night, as the hospital was drowned in an eerie silence, Mia whispered to Ethan:
“Do you want to make a pact with me?”
Confused, Ethan asked what she meant. Mia explained that she was tired of being sick and trapped inside the hospital walls. She said she knew a way for them to escape together.
“We just need to agree to help each other,” she said, a strange gleam in her eyes.
Desperate for company and an escape from the suffocating hospital, Ethan agreed. Mia leaned closer and whispered:
“I’ll take away all your pain… but in return, you must promise to stay with me… forever.”
As the words left her lips, the room grew colder, and the shadows seemed to close in around them. Ethan felt a crushing pressure in his chest, as if something was being ripped out of him. Too late, he realized Mia wasn’t just another patient; she was something far darker.
By morning, the nurses found Ethan’s bed empty. There was no trace of him, and his medical file had mysteriously vanished from the hospital records. Mia, however, sat on the bed healthier than ever, her eyes glowing with cold satisfaction.
Now, at night, staff members report hearing the whispers of a boy echoing through the halls, pleading for help, trapped in a pact he can never escape.
Mia only smiles, knowing he is there with her… forever.
