As his parents came closer, Nigel saw ugly bruises start to form on their
faces.
"Nigel! My sweet Nigel, come and give your old mum a hug," the ghastly figure said, extending her arms out to embrace him.
"NO!! YOU'RE NOT REAL," he shouted, repulsed by what he saw. His mother was smiling at him and he could see her teeth had begun to rot and her skin had started to shrivel, turning a sickly shade of gray.
Sydney heard Nigel's shout and turned.
"Don't you ever speak to your MOTHER that way," Nigel's father hissed as he too started to decay.
Nigel closed his eyes, shaking his head back and forth. "They're dead, the're dead, it's not real," he chanted as he felt arms gently embrace him.
"It's okay son, let your mummy make it all better," the voice said soothingly.
Nigel opened his eyes and wished he hadn't, for he was now in the arms of a rotted corpse. Sheer terror seized him and he violently pushed the thing away, almost stumbling in the process. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!" he screamed. The bodies that had been his parents were now lying crumpled on the floor, covered with flies and roaches, a thick black liquid oozing from what was left.
Sydney rushed towards Nigel. He was staring at the floor, staggering backward. As Syd looked down, she saw nothing there. "Nigel, look at me," she said. When he didn't respond, she loudly repeated, "Nigel, look at me!"
Still in shock from what he had just seen, he slowly looked up at Sydney. She had a grin on her face, her eyes red. Around her neck was a Python, and as it flicked its forked tongue, she smiled, turned her head, and did the same.
Nigel bolted from the church. He could hear Sydney calling his name from somewhere behind him. He looked down at the ground and saw he was surrounded by snakes. Nigel did not realize he was standing in the middle of the road and didn't hear the truck rapidly approaching. All he could hear was the hissing of the snakes.
Sydney watched in horror. There was no way she could reach him in time! She heard the driver's frantic honking as he slammed on the brakes. "NIGEL!" she helplessly screamed.
From out of nowhere, a woman appeared, yanking Nigel out of the way.
The truck came to a screeching stop, blocking Sydney's view.
She quickly ran around it and found Nigel lying on the ground, convulsing, staring blankly at the sky. Sydney frantically grabbed for her cell phone, but was unable to get a signal.
The woman who had pulled Nigel out of the truck's way reached up and put her hand on Sydney's arm. "Your medicine can't help him now. He's under the spell of a powerful Bokor."
"Nigel! My sweet Nigel, come and give your old mum a hug," the ghastly figure said, extending her arms out to embrace him.
