The Cursed Video: A Bunkmate's Curse

The night was as dark as the silence that had settled over the dormitory. The only sound was the occasional creak of an old wooden floorboard, a reminder of the dormitory's age. In room 312, a young woman named Alex sat on her bed, her eyes fixed on her phone. She had just finished her last exam for the semester and was scrolling through her social media when an alert popped up.

The video was shared by a friend, tagged with a cryptic message: "Don't watch this alone." Alex's curiosity was piqued. She clicked on it, and the screen filled with a grainy, black-and-white image of a young woman sitting alone in a dimly lit room. The woman's eyes were wide with fear, and she was holding a phone, pointing it at the camera.

"Who is this?" Alex whispered to herself, her heart racing.

The video cut to a different scene. The same woman was now in a different room, surrounded by candles. She was speaking, her voice trembling. "I'm cursed. If you watch this video, you will be too."

Alex's phone vibrated. It was a message from her bunkmate, Sam. "Hey, are you watching that cursed video? Don't do it, Alex. It's not real."

Ignoring the warning, Alex continued to watch. The video showed the woman standing in front of a mirror, her face contorted with terror. Then, the screen went black.

Alex's phone buzzed again. This time, it was a call. She picked it up, and a voice said, "Alex, you're in danger. You have to get out of there."

"Who is this?" Alex asked, her voice trembling.

"I'm Sam. I'm in the bathroom. I heard the noise. You need to leave now!"

Before Alex could respond, the phone went dead. She looked up to see Sam standing in the doorway, her face pale and her eyes wide. "We have to go," she said, grabbing Alex by the arm.

They ran out of the room, their footsteps echoing in the hallway. They didn't stop until they reached the front door of the dormitory. Alex's heart was pounding in her chest as she looked back at the building. She could still hear the creaking floorboards, as if the dormitory was watching them leave.

Once outside, they found themselves in a small parking lot. Alex's phone buzzed again. It was a text from Sam: "Stay here. I'll be right back."

Alex watched as Sam disappeared into the darkness. She waited, her heart pounding, until she heard a noise behind her. She turned to see a shadowy figure approaching. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized it was Sam, her face covered in blood.

"Sam, what happened?" Alex asked, her voice trembling.

Sam looked at her, her eyes filled with terror. "I... I don't know. I saw something in the mirror. It... it looked like me, but it wasn't. It... it was trying to kill me."

Alex's phone vibrated again. It was a call. She picked it up, and a voice said, "Alex, you need to leave now. The curse is spreading."

"Where should I go?" Alex asked, her voice trembling.

"Go to the library. They have a safe room there. Don't stop until you get there."

Alex nodded, and she and Sam ran towards the library. They didn't stop until they reached the entrance. Alex pushed the door open, and they burst inside. The librarian looked up from her desk, her eyes wide with shock.

"Are you okay?" she asked, her voice trembling.

"Yes," Alex said, her voice shaking. "We need the safe room. There's a curse spreading."

The librarian nodded and led them to a small, windowless room at the back of the library. "This is the safe room," she said. "It's locked from the outside. No one can get in."

Alex and Sam entered the room, and the librarian locked the door behind them. Alex leaned against the wall, her heart pounding in her chest. "What do we do now?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Sam sat down on the floor, her eyes closed. "I don't know," she said, her voice trembling. "But we have to stay here until this is over."

Hours passed, and Alex's phone buzzed again. It was a text from Sam: "The curse is spreading. We need to find a way to break it."

Alex looked at Sam, her eyes filled with fear. "How do we do that?"

Sam opened her eyes and looked at Alex. "I don't know. But we have to try. We can't let this happen."

They spent the next few hours searching the library for answers. They read books on the supernatural, hoping to find a way to break the curse. Finally, they found a book that mentioned a ritual that could break a curse. The ritual required a candle, a mirror, and a silver coin.

"We have to do this," Alex said, her voice trembling.

Sam nodded and got up from the floor. "Let's go."

They left the safe room and went back to their dormitory. They found the candle, the mirror, and the silver coin in Alex's room. They set up the ritual, and Alex lit the candle. She held the mirror in front of her, and Sam placed the silver coin in the center of the room.

"Please, break the curse," Alex said, her voice trembling.

The candle flickered, and a shadowy figure appeared in the mirror. It was the woman from the video, her eyes filled with terror. The woman reached out towards Alex, and Alex stepped back, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Stop!" Alex shouted.

The woman looked at Alex, her eyes filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

Before Alex could respond, the woman's form began to fade. The candle went out, and the mirror shattered into pieces. The curse was broken.

Alex and Sam looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief. "We did it," Alex said, her voice trembling.

Sam nodded and smiled. "We did it."

They spent the next few days recovering from the experience. They never spoke about the cursed video again, but they knew that it had changed their lives forever. They had faced the supernatural and survived, and they were stronger for it.

The dormitory remained quiet, and the curse never returned. Alex and Sam graduated from college and went on to live their lives, but they never forgot the night they had faced the supernatural. They knew that they had been lucky to survive, and they were grateful for the experience.

The cursed video had been a warning, a reminder that sometimes, the supernatural could be real. And when it was, it was terrifying. But Alex and Sam had faced it head-on, and they had won. They had broken the curse, and they had survived.
