ROOM WITH MYSTERIES

Hey hazel, good morning. It was so much fun at your party last

night, thanks. Said Lisa and Dylan in unison.

Not mention guys. It's my duty. Hey where is Nancy she hasn't

come today for the class?

Hey look she just arrived and parking her bicycle. It may take a

while. by the way you were looking amazing yesterday. Said

Andrew and I'm happy that I have met your mom Mia after a long

time, she is so caring buddy.

Hazel thanked for his compliments and said you could come again.

My mom can cook well also. I will ask her to make a special dish

for you. Yeah sure I will.

It's time for math class so the demon teacher will occupy the class.

Said Ryan. The new member in their group. Who missed

yesterday's party.

As the teacher starts the class, somebody is at the door asking

permission to come in. may I come in sir ? asked Nancy stealing

everyone's attention.

Yes get in. said teacher

But she looked little worried. Noticed hazel as she occupies her

seat. Might be because she was late to the class.

It's such a boring class Andrew, you know sometimes the studies

sucks. Said hazel

Yes, you are absolutely right. You know what, I'm building AI

chatbot that can be your assistant. Said Andrew

Hazel asked astonishing let me know when you finish it.

Sure, you can use it. Hey are you really bored by the last class.

Yeah... said hazel

Then I have a pick-up line to upgrade your mood.

Oh, that's sounds cool, say one. Asked hazel

10

Are you a Garbage ? asked Andrew

Why?

Because, I wanna take you out... Andrew giggles as hazel joins.

It's one of the funniest lines I have heard. Added hazel

Try some cupcakes offers Nancy to those who got bored having

bread and butter for every lunch. Hey hazel does your room has

automated light bulbs? I could see lights coming from your room.

To be honest I got scared being in your room.

Hey you might have got confused. I don't have such strange thing

for sure. I have stayed for years. It's the same common day for me

there.

But I think you should give a recheck! Pleaded Nancy

Of course, I do.

Hey Andrew, do you think I should mind Nancy's words? Asked

thinking

OH, it might be any scientific reason behind that incident. Let's

give it a try.

Okay I will. Bye I have to cycle as fast as possible it getting late in

the evening.

Common darling, its dinner time. Called mommy Mia

It's your favourite food that your mom is serving. Said David

Hey its pasta alla carbonara. Said hazel surprisingly.

Hmm how did it go today at school? Asked daddy

Well... dad we just got selected for soccer finals that will be

happening in the next week.

OH! Sound great. Do well baby.

Yes dad thanks. Said pleased hazel.

Hazel finished plate full of pasta enjoying the taste, excused

herself from the dining table.

She is terribly thinking of what it could be when lights are off.

Where she can find the light?

As the clock hits 10PM she is still wondering the lights direction

and location. She gradually deep dive in to sleep. It's something

different she can feel within her. Some sort of negative energy that

asking her to open her eyes and trying to wake her up she is just

crawling in the bed just to avoid it. It is completely dark all over.

But still she tries to open her eyes slowly, her eyes are partially

opened she is gasping as hard as possible, her body still lying

straight she is afraid to sit and gaze each corner of the room.

She can still feel some energy that is roaming invisibly inside the

room. The silence occupied in the room is not permitting her to

call her parents she is such a dare girl who just opened her eyes to

see what's happening despite of fear.

Still, she can find no light ray at all. She again started wondering

what it might be. What Nancy could have seen at that place. But

she is sure about one thing that there is something wrong with her

room. The silence and darkness occupied the place is so strange

and scary.

She is thinking to move off the bed, she finds a bed lamp beside

her right, which is turned off she wants to switch it on so that she

get a relief with some light around. She moves her hand towards it

as her hand gets closer to switch she can again feel negative energy

which resisting her to do so. But its invisible. Her hands are

shaking, she is heavily shivering because she thinks somebody is

there in the room. Not just that, she also realises that someone is so

close to her and watching her from doing all this from the corner

nearby her cot.

She failed to switch it on as she just want to escape from that scary

deadly look. She slightly wakes up and lands her head on the

slightly inclined pillow. She hardly tries to sleep but how can she ?

she feels it's dangerous to sleep and worried what if that somebody

will commit any deadly activities with her.

She is resting in danger ,fear. She is inside a room with the deadly

creature which can finish her at any time. She is voiceless with

fear. Still there is no sign of light at all.

Suddenly she can sense something moving on her bed from the

opposite end of her head from the right side. She moves away as

she got to know the direction of movement of creature. She keeps

moving to her left and she reaches the edge of cot. She stops there

also the creature.

There she feels somebody holding her ankle so hardly at the left

end of the cot, that she couldn't move at all. She is finding it

difficult to breath in and out, her lungs are expanding as if

somebody pumped in tonnes of air in to it. Oh, the hell, there

appears the light exactly pointing to the hand holding her ankle.

She SCREAMS! SCREAMS! SCREAMS! She can see the deadly

hand, it has a long nail, some sort of drawing on it that defines how

deadly it can be. Now she sees the long 9 feet creature standing

without revealing its face. It is moving towards the door. But still

holding her ankle as hard as possible, it has got a long dark gown

the full-length sleeves and a stick in one hand, a huge bun tied all

over its head. Totally the creature is fully covered. she could see it

moving out so as the dim light disappears and the hand vanishes as

swift as possible.

Good morning ! sweetheart. Said Mia

Hazel tried looking as normal as always. She doesn't want her

parents to know about that terrible energy. But why? She has no

answer.

She smiles at her mom. Acquires a seat for the breakfast.

OH,, you look tired this morning. Commented Mia looking at her

daughter who looked worried a bit.

Why? Didn't you sleep well?

Now hazel has got a throwback in to last night, she recalls the

image, tall creature, the scary hand, her ankle... how would you

even think of me having a good sleep mom;'... talks to herself.

Hazel takes off her shoes from the rack. She is wearing socks,

omg! She recalls her memory from the last night again. The

monster ,hunter holding her ankle super tight. She pics up her bag

and rushes towards her cycle. She's shivering as she kicks the

peddles. She is eagerly waiting to meet Nancy who had told about

that strange light that she had seen in her room. As soon as she

parks the cycle , runs to the class, and keeps staring at the door for

the arrival of Nancy and other friends, to share that what Nancy

had spoken about was true.

Finally, Nancy waved at hazel right from the class door. hazel

waves back as if she is gonna eat her up.

Nancy got little astonished because of her behaviour. Lisa, Ava,

Ryan, Dylan, Andrew everyone joined. Thinking hazel is going to

share an important incident.

Hey! Its not just important its highly important. Highlighted hazel.

OH, shit the class is about to start in 5 minutes. Said Andrew in

disguise.

Okay, that's not a problem. I will tell you guys in the afternoon

during lunch hour,. Is that okay? Said hazel

Half of them are agreed remaining half agreed partially as they

have no other way out.

But Andrew is completely disagreed. He just want to hear it out ,

what's hazel's going to say to them.

So, he asked everyone to bunk the class. And can go to the lawn.

He suggested that it's the best place to hide from teachers.

Andrew is always first in bunking classes. Though some of them

are serious, they all want to hear the story.

Hazel said Hey it's just single class. We can bunk, look what I'm

gonna tell is very important.

Everyone just jumped off the benches and started running towards

the door so that the teacher cannot see them bunking.

All gathered at the corner of the lawn.

Nancy what you have told is true. I had a very strange, horror

experience last night.

I couldn't even remember that incident right now. I never had this

horror experience before in my room. My room, house itself feels

like some ghost house.

Hazel narrated everything. Ava listened to her with her mouth wide

open and eye brows up, as she is very profoundly sensitive with

these topics.

Nancy got shocked as she thought it was just light but hazel saw

someone strange in the room.

Where as Dylan and Ryan are afraid to visit her house next time.

Hey, hazel are you a Wi-Fi ?

What...

Because that is the reason always ghosts connect to you. Said

Andrew laughing

Just stop joking. Said Lisa as hazel keeps looking at him weirdly.

What did you say about it.. you said it was wearing long gown ,

stick in hand, such a long creature.... Right. Asked Andrew as if he

found a solution.

Can you please come to the solution straight away!

Oh, wait hazel don't be hurry. Said Andrew

Hey I'm the one who sleeps there every day. I'm dying each

second. Said hazel as if she has lost all hopes.

I..I know that. But you think it is ghost but by the appearance you

explained I think I may be a witch.

What , who's that? Witches are made and born. They always look

the way you said. They can make miracles in reality, have got

power to do anything wrong. They have got some witch crafts

which they use to deliver negative energy. Explained Andrew

Hey but why that witch is in my room? Asked hazel in a rush

Yeah that's the question. We have to find it out. There is a strong

reason behind this.

But how? Nancy enquired

It's all with hazel said Andrew with a josh and confidence in his

face.

What how can I do this alone? I can't I'm even afraid to enter the

room. Hazel disagreed

You are not alone. We are with you. Just see and note the moves of

that witch in the room tonight. They usually use stick, hat etc. with

this we can go further.

Or else tell to your parents. If I do so, then my mom will never let

me stay there. Then we will never get the solution. Said hazel

Then be brave and find the mystery hazel. How long you stay with

fear? The first step towards truth is being fearless!

Okay, then I will! Thanks Andrew.

Let's attend the classes now, it's a time common guy.....
