The road screamed beneath the tires 🚗💨
Not metaphorically.Literally.
Hawk drove like the world was ending — because for one boy on a cliff…it was.
Fog tore past the headlights 🌫️The sky dimmed unnaturallyAs if someone was slowly turning down the sun ☀️⬇️
Walter clutched the dashboard with both hands 😵💫
"FASTER!" he screamed"THE SKY IS DOING THE SCARY THING!!"
Above them, the sun vanished piece by piece 🌑A black shadow biting into light
The eclipse had begun.
Hawk's jaw tightened 😠Veins stood out on his hands as he gripped the wheel
"…We're late," he said quietly
Walter swallowed hard 😨"Don't say that like it's a weather update, Hawk"
The House Breaks 🏚️💥
Back at the cliff house —
The ground shook violently 🌍Not from windNot from thunder
From impact
Something massive slammed into the side of the cabin
CRACK 💥Wood splinteredA wall bent inward like it was made of paper
The house screamed 🪵😱
Inside —
Barfi stood calmly in the center of the room 😶Feet plantedBreathing steady
The spear in his hand hummed 🗡️The chain around his arm burned cold ⛓️❄️
Then —
A roar split the air 🐻❄️
Not outside anymore
Half the demon forced itself through the broken wallBlack fur soaked in shadowEyes burning red 🔴A mouth too wide to belong to anything natural
The seal was breaking
The eclipse was feeding it
Barfi Steps Outside 🌫️
The door creaked open by itself 🚪
Not violentlyNot magically
Almost… gently
The house released him
Barfi walked out 🚶♂️Fog swallowed his legsCold bit his skin
The demon paused
It hadn't expected that
Behind Barfi —The cliff dropped into nothing ☁️⬇️
Above —A broken sun 🌑
Barfi looked at the demon calmly
No fearNo rage
Just focus 🎯
"You can be killed now," he said softly
The demon screamed 😈
The First Clash ⚔️
It charged
FastToo fast
Barfi barely raised the spear —
BOOM 💥
The demon slammed into himBones crackedHis body flew backward
He hit the ground hard 🩸Snow stained red beneath him
On the road below —
Walter saw it
"HIS BODY JUST—" 😱
Hawk slammed the brakes 🚗🛑
Barfi Does Not React 😶
The demon loomed over himRaised a claw
SLASH
Barfi's shoulder tore openBlood soaked his sleeve
He didn't screamDidn't flinch
He grabbed the chain ⛓️Wrapped it around the demon's leg
Pulled
The demon roared — in pain
For the first time in centuries…it felt it
Barfi stood slowlyBlood drippingHands steady
The demon struck again
Ribs shattered 💔Barfi coughed blood
He did not fall
He whispered calmly:
"…This is acceptable."
Witnesses Arrive 🚨
Hawk and Walter burst onto the cliff
They froze 🧊
Barfi —BleedingBrokenStanding
The demon —TrappedRoaringBleeding shadow
Walter screamed:
"BARFI!!" 😭
Barfi didn't turn
The spear glowed faintlyThe eclipse darkened fully 🌑
The final phase had begun
The Boy's Spirit Returns 👦👻
Barfi staggered
Blood dripped from his chin
Then —Stillness
Too still
"BARFI—!" Hawk shouted
Barfi's eyes rolled back
WhiteBlazing
The ground cracked outward 💥
A child's shadow rose from his backLike smokeLike memory
The youngest son
He wrapped around Barfi — not controlling… merging
Barfi straightened
His wounds stopped bleedingHis voice came out layered
"This body… will finish it."
The demon recoiled 😨
It recognized him
The Bear Panics 🐻❄️😱
For the first time —the demon felt fear
Hawk didn't hesitate
"NOW!!"
Gunfire ripped through the fog 🔫Bullets tore chunks of shadow-flesh
The demon screamed
Walter fired the shotgun 💥
"THIS IS FOR THE CABIN!!AND THE BLANKET GHOST!!"
Hawk reloaded calmly
"Keep it off him!"
Barfi and the Boy Fight as One 🔥
Barfi moved differently now
Not humanNot possessed
Purposeful
The boy's voice echoed:
"You feel pain so it can end."
Barfi answered inside:
"I don't feel it."
They rushed together
The chain snapped tight around the demon's neck ⛓️The spear plunged into its chest 🗡️
Black blood sprayed like smoke
The demon slashed wildly —Bones snapped
Barfi didn't slow
"For every time you were beaten,"the boy screamed
Another stab
"For every night I cried,"
Another
The demon thrashed —not roaring in dominance now
But terror
The End ☁️⬇️
"NOW!!"
Barfi pulled
The demon slippedClaws scraped rock
It screamed one final time —
Not as a monster
But as something that had once been… a bear
Then —
It fell
Into cloudsInto silence
Gone
Aftermath 🔥
They dragged the broken body into the cabin
Diesel pouredFire lit
The flames rose
The bear criedNot roared
The boy's voice rose above the fire:
"I take all the wounds with me."
The house collapsed
Ash
The eclipse broke ☀️
What Remained 🩸
Barfi lay between them
AliveHealing
But part of his ear was gone
A mark
Then —
He cried 😭
Real tears
"I… I saw them…"
Walter laughed and cried"YOU'RE FEELING!!"
Hawk turned away, wiping his eyes
Barfi cried harder
Not from pain
From release
From being human again
The curse was gone
But Barfi's story…
had changed forever 🖤✨
