Short Story: Cursing I Love You

The girls ran as fast as they could, away from the man. There was a certain distance between them, yet they felt so close, for they could still hear the heavy breathing of his. As they got closer to Room 6197, their desire to survive grew stonger. They rushed themselves into the door, feeling relieved, thinking they finally got rid of that mad man.
`
They were wrong. A hand reached out from the other end of the door, attacking aggressively, stopring them from closing it. Together, the girls tried to block him from entering, but failed. There stood the man, breathing hard, half of the eyeballs sticking out from its socket, covered in red. Looking at the seven angels, he took a few steps closer. The word "terrified" written on their beautiful faces. He reached out his hands towards the girls. One stood up, staring into his eyes, she said, "it's about time."
`
Confidence overtook her fear. A smile lifted on her face. The rest too stood up and gathered by her side. In a blink of an eye, the man's lips were sewn up, turned into a doll before he could react. The girl picked him up, looking as beautiful as ever.
`
Months ago, she bumped into him during an outing. He tried talking to her and there, he started to befriend with her. The truth was, he had heard about her and friends, was only looking for a chance to get closer to them, so he could take them down as ATM machines. However, he never knew the girls were no ordinary girls. They could see through people's mind and too possessed some dark magic. While the man plotting his plan winning the girls' heart, they already started their way to bewitch him. She, as the eldest among all, took part in the role play.
`
"Each time I said 'I love you', the spell we have cast on you grew stronger. It's only the matter of time before the spell is complete," she said to the doll. The man was stunned. He shouted and cursed, but the voice could never reached, not to mention he couldn't move at all.
`
"You messed with the wrong people. Goodbye," she continued, knowing he would have gone nuts by now. Before she and the gang walked out from the room, she threw the doll into the dustbin and started a fire in it. The man screamed in anger but could never be heard.
