- 0:05My name is Julia and I want to tell a story that happened when I
- 0:10was sixteen. It all started on a May afternoon when my parents had been
- 0:14invited to a wedding that children were not allowed to attend and although technically I
- 0:19no longer counted as a child and my mom' s same friend told her
- 0:24that I could go without problems, as other girls of about my age would
- 0:29also go. I refused never. I' ve been a fan of the
- 0:34big, loud parties, so even at that age I was already trying to
- 0:39avoid them. Also, right on that occasion I already had my own plans,
- 0:46as I knew my parents would be back very late from the wedding,
- 0:50I decided to bribe my little brother with all the popcorn and soda I could
- 0:55drink and eat and take the opportunity to invite some of my friends home and
- 1:00have a fun time while my parents were away. However, I never imagined
- 1:06that that afternoon would completely change my perception of reality. The afternoon passed in
- 1:11a cheerful and carefree manner. We believed and shared stories while enjoying our company,
- 1:19but, as is normal, in May it suddenly clouded and began to
- 1:23thunder. We knew it would start raining any minute, so my friends told
- 1:29me it was best to leave. I already agreed with that, but almost
- 1:34at the same time that we made that decision, a strong thunder made a
- 1:38heavy rain begin to fall that forced everyone to stay inside. So we decided
- 1:46we' d wait for the storm to happen. After all, I knew
- 1:51my parents would still be very late. However, when we were returning to
- 1:57the rhythm of our talk or r nor to the little brother, Adam of
- 2:00just three years old, was frightened by the storm, came down the stairs
- 2:07crying and sat beside me tightly hugging my arm in search of refuge. It
- 2:13wasn' t uncommon for me to do this. He was scared of loud
- 2:15noises. If a door was whipped or someone blew a balloon near him,
- 2:22then Adam would run to where his closest source of trust was, and in
- 2:27this case it was me, and this usually didn' t bother me,
- 2:31but having my friends' laughs over the truth, I did what most older
- 2:36brothers would have done at that time. With a mixture of exhaustion and exasperation,
- 2:43I asked him to return to his room wanting a little peace of mind.
- 2:47Adam told me that he was very afraid to be alone in his room,
- 2:52but I told him that I was not interested, that we had a
- 2:55deal and he had to leave. Her tears filled eyes met mine hoping to
- 3:00find comfort, but my response was cold and distant. My brother begged me
- 3:07to stay a while longer, but, as I was inflexible, he threw
- 3:12small sobbing back into his room. My friends annoyed me a little bit about
- 3:16it for a while, but then we went back to our normal talk However,
- 3:24half an hour later he ran back to me again hitting jumps. I
- 3:29was very excited and pulled my blouse up with him, as Julia called me,
- 3:32Julia, there' s a little animal talking in my room. It
- 3:38' s so cute you have to come and see it. My patience quickly
- 3:43ran out and the prospect of dealing with more of my brother' s fantasies
- 3:47didn' t please me at all, because I thought I was just saying
- 3:53it so that I would go up and be in his room with him for
- 3:55a while. So with a sense of frustration being I told her that I
- 4:00didn' t care and that I was going to play with her supposed talking
- 4:04animal hoping she' d leave me alone once and for all. He went
- 4:09back to his room and didn' t bother us again in the two hours
- 4:13more than my friends stayed. My friends decided to leave just the moment the
- 4:17rain turned. A light but constant brisna, aware that the storm could get
- 4:25worse and they didn' t want to get trapped in my house again.
- 4:29While the home phone was being fired, it sounded like my mother, there
- 4:35was a lot of distortion on the other side, as well as a very
- 4:40loud music that made me appreciate not having gone as soon as the sound was
- 4:46a little better, Julia told me. We' ve decided to stay at
- 4:48our friends' house. Please make sure you put Dan to bed and make
- 4:55sure you close the whole house very well. We' ll be back early.
- 4:59SÑorñana I told her I was fine and with a sigh resigned,
- 5:04I went to check that my brother was in his room. Upon entering I
- 5:10saw that he had fallen asleep watching videos on his tablet, I removed his
- 5:15device and closed his door. However, at that very moment, a strong
- 5:19thunder followed by a flash of lightning, left the whole block in complete darkness.
- 5:26I got a little angry because I wouldn' t have the Internet,
- 5:30but without knowing what else to do, I decided to light up with my
- 5:34phone flashlight and clean up where I had been with my friends so that my
- 5:41parents would never know and if when I was finished I wasn' t back
- 5:45in the light, I would just go to my room and use my phone
- 5:51until the light came back, or maybe I would try to move my homework
- 5:57forward as I took a few steps over there, something small, hairy and
- 6:00slightly wet slipped between my feet, causing me to lose the lukewarm gear and
- 6:00fall to the ground. I turned my head to where that thing had run
- 6:05in search of answers, but because of the total lack of light everywhere I
- 6:10could hardly see anything, except for two eyes like brilliant marbles. That was
- 6:17weird, because there wasn' t any kind of light that could be absorbing.
- 6:23It was just as if his eyes had little LED lights and although I
- 6:28initially thought it might be a cat who had stepped into the house in the
- 6:31rain, I soon knew I was wrong. The creature began to rise on
- 6:38two legs, or at least it seemed so, as its eyes were rising
- 6:42and with a voice struggling to sound adorable, but which was sinister whispered I
- 6:47licked the blood of your wound. A chill swept through my body as fear
- 6:53gripped me and without much thought I ran into my brother' s room to
- 6:59be to grate the door with force to prevent that abomination from entering. For
- 7:04what seemed like an eternity, I heard scratches, laughs and knocks at the
- 7:10door fueling my terror. I' m not so sure when the light came
- 7:15back, because I fell asleep in my brother' s room, stuck over
- 7:18the door. I woke up about four o' clock in the morning and
- 7:24Adam' s night light. It was on and no noise was heard outside,
- 7:28but I still decided not to go out and went back to sleep.
- 7:32I woke up until about nine in the morning. My parents would come to
- 7:38the door handle and they would call us worried that the door would have a
- 7:42lock. It was just me, though. I got up and opened them
- 7:46up. I tried to tell them, but, like everything downstairs, it
- 7:50was dirty and obviously, it looked like more people had been in the house.
- 7:54Instead of believing me, they told me I was grounded for throwing a
- 7:59party without their permission and they wouldn' t let me go through with my
- 8:01story. While we were having breakfast, Adam began to tell us about his
- 8:07new friend Brige. My brother was kind of a gifted kid when he was
- 8:13three. He could pronounce the letter R and besides that, he loved the
- 8:18mythology and animal life programs. I could remember everything I saw. He told
- 8:26us what had come to his room by the storm. It had been an
- 8:30alebrije and I could call it a brige. According to him, his friend
- 8:35was a magical being with a monkey- like head, but with ears and
- 8:39a cat face. He had a body similar to that of a raccoon and
- 8:43wings that, although damaged by lightning during the storm, would soon heal and
- 8:48could fly. In addition, his fur was a burst of bright colors and
- 8:54his eyes shone in the dark, allowing him to see at night. My
- 8:58parents found Adam' s description adorable. They thought it was just the fruit
- 9:05of their childish imagination and they didn' t see it as a bad thing.
- 9:09On the contrary, Adam’ s personality, which could sometimes be too
- 9:13rational for a three- year- old child and a pinch of imagination,
- 9:18was very well received by them. They even followed him and asked him more
- 9:24details to encourage him, although I was shivering. Those supernatural characteristics and the
- 9:31sinister voice I had heard that night kept tormenting me. As the days passed,
- 9:39I decided that it was best to forget it, since nothing strange had
- 9:43happened again. I even thought it was only because at that moment I had
- 9:48been scared of the darkness and maybe I stumbled upon a stuffed animal or something,
- 9:52and then my mind did the rest. It was easier to believe that
- 9:58until one day, when I returned from school, I saw Adam squatting outside
- 10:01the house, looking closely at the gap beneath the ladder was in a lively
- 10:07conversation. I began to approach cautiously feeling a knot in my stomach and could
- 10:16hear how Adam told Brige that he would also love to be a magical alebrije
- 10:22like him, with wings to fly anywhere. But the worst thing was to
- 10:26hear a little voice very similar to the one I remembered the day the light
- 10:31went out, only I couldn' t hear exactly what I was telling him.
- 10:37Still, I was so scared that I retreated from a branch with my
- 10:41foot. At that time, Adam turned to see me surprised, for he
- 10:46had not noticed my presence. At the same time, I heard something move
- 10:52under the stairs. I asked him who he was talking to and he told
- 10:58me. Brige says she feels like seeing you scared that night she didn'
- 11:01t mean to. I just wanted to play a little. I really didn
- 11:05' t know what to say about it. A day or two after that
- 11:09incident under the stairs, I woke up in the middle of the night with
- 11:15intense thirst I went down the stairs quietly trying not to make noise. I
- 11:22knew my mom had doubled her shift and she must have been very tired.
- 11:26I came to the kitchen for a glass of water. However, what I
- 11:31found there made me stop dry was my brother Adam, who was fully up
- 11:37in the sink bar holding a package of frozen steaks and trying to unfreeze them
- 11:43with water. Boiling, I couldn' t believe what I saw. He
- 11:48could not even understand how he had managed to get up there was too high
- 11:54for him. I didn' t see any chairs out of place. And
- 11:58the same thing happened with the steak package, because they were in the freezer,
- 12:03which was also too high for a child as small as him. At
- 12:05that time I asked him what he was doing and he answered me. Brige
- 12:11is very hungry with some mockery. I asked him if he planned to fry
- 12:18his Brige bistexa, but his response scorched my blood. Not Brige, he
- 12:22likes raw meat. Adam looked at me with an unsettling seriousness and followed.
- 12:30He says he can taste blood completely. A chill swept through my body as
- 12:37I processed his words. At that very moment I heard a creak coming from
- 12:41the room. I instinctively looked back in that direction and my eyes met with
- 12:48bright eyes in the dark. The being was standing at the small table under
- 12:54a lamp, but when discovered, he seemed to try to jump to fly
- 13:00and failed to fall to the ground before leaving, running upstairs. Terror gripped
- 13:05me and a scream escaped my lips waking my parents up. They came down
- 13:13quickly to see what was happening. But all I could say was that I
- 13:18had seen something in the room and Adam said it was true, that what
- 13:22I had seen was just brige and I didn' t know why I had
- 13:26been scared. My parents, still numb and confused, heard Adam mention his
- 13:33imaginary friend and told me to stop trying to turn him into something that scared
- 13:37him, that he was just a kid playing with his imagination and that I
- 13:41was the oldest and I had to behave like one. Since that day I
- 13:46was too paranoid at any noise, no matter what, and I always made
- 13:54sure to lock my door and for no reason go out at night. I
- 13:58remember a night that also had a storm, but this time we were all
- 14:03in the house and, as expected, the light went all the way out.
- 14:09As we eagerly awaited the return of electricity. I was holding on to
- 14:15my parents in search of safety. I was determined not to separate from them
- 14:20until the light returned. But then my brother spoke a few words that iced
- 14:24me. The brige blood wants to play hide- and- seek. My
- 14:28father used to play hide- and- seek with us during blackouts, using
- 14:33a flashlight to search while hiding in the dark. It was his way of
- 14:39making his children not afraid of the dark making the blackouts very fun. However,
- 14:46on that occasion, the idea of playing hide- and- seek with
- 14:50that sinister being hovering around our home was very frightening to me and even though
- 14:58I tried to dissuade them, everyone thought it might be something very much fun
- 15:01in what we expected the light to come back. They also told me that
- 15:05if I didn' t want to, I was fine, but they would,
- 15:09although out of fear I told them I would play too, because I
- 15:13thought I could follow my mom and hide with her dad offered to be the
- 15:18searcher. While we were all hiding. My heart was pounding as we searched
- 15:24for places to hide. My dad told us this. Then, according to
- 15:30him, he began his search there. As I walked through the house,
- 15:33he heard little noises coming from my closet. Following his instinct, he opened
- 15:39the door wide to find nothing. There was no one there, just the
- 15:45clothes hanging in place. However, I was sure I had heard something cautiously.
- 15:52My father felt the clothes looking for some clue or sign of what might
- 15:56have caused those noises. It was then that a bipedal creature occurred just higher
- 16:04than a raccoon standing on its hind legs. He came out of the coats
- 16:11was exactly as Adam had not described. He said that the thing had taught
- 16:15him his sharp teeth and a voice that seemed to wrinkle with evil. He
- 16:21told him to take that light out of my fucking unhappy face, and then
- 16:27he ran out at full speed, disappearing in the dark. My father was
- 16:33paralyzed with fear and confusion. The reality of what was happening had finally revealed
- 16:38itself before his own eyes. We knew that we were not dealing with a
- 16:45child' s imagination, but with a completely real creature. After that terrifying
- 16:49encounter, my family could no longer deny the existence of that being my brother
- 16:55called Brige. Fear and despair took over us. As we tried to find
- 17:03answers and a way to protect ourselves from that supernatural entity that had taken over
- 17:08our lives. The tension in our home was too intense. My parents decided
- 17:15it was time to stop my brother' s interactions with Brige. They strongly
- 17:19told him that he could no longer talk to him anymore. Although Adam tried
- 17:25to defend his friend, he told them that he was not bad, he
- 17:29was just a little different and that did not mean that he was bad.
- 17:33Desperate to find a solution, my parents decided to call a church father in
- 17:38the hope that he could help us deal with this disturbing presence. The priest
- 17:45arrived with his Bible and prayers, willing to face whatever was stalking in our
- 17:49house. But as the priest performed the blessing in every corner of our home,
- 17:57we looked forward to some sign that the evil that haunted us had been
- 18:02cast out. However, to our surprise, nothing seemed to happen beyond the
- 18:07ordinary. The house was quiet and quiet, as if there was nothing evil
- 18:14there, though as if it were a type of placebo medication. We thought
- 18:19we were finally safe. But the next day we found a notebook belonging to
- 18:26my brother. In it, written with an almost unintelligible and primitive letter I
- 18:32said I am something much older. I was on earth. Before the man
- 18:36invented those prayers. The chill ran through my spine reading those words. It
- 18:45seemed that whatever lived in our house could not be driven away by sacred words.
- 18:51From that moment on, the demonstrations became bolder and more frightening. We
- 18:57could hear small footprints running through the house, doors closing suddenly for no apparent
- 19:03reason and the meat mysteriously disappeared from the kitchen. It was as if the
- 19:08presence mocked us, playing with our fear and weakening our sanity. However,
- 19:15just as one day came, my brother announced to us with a mixture of
- 19:19sadness and relief that Brige was gone. According to him, his wing had
- 19:25been completely healed and he could now fly back to where he lived. From
- 19:30that moment on, we never lived anything similar again and the Calm returned to
- 19:36our home. Today, my brother is already a teenager and claims not to
- 19:41remember that stage of his life at all, which is rare because, as
- 19:45I said, he has a very good memory. It' s like that
- 19:49thing took away his memories from him when he left. I don' t
- 19:53know if that thing is a crypt or a real alebrije, but I do
- 19:57know it was real. Story written and adapted by Lisa Hernández
