Chapter

Diana was doing her daily activities as any other normal day , but then suddenly some one knocked her door. She was not expecting some one to come at this time so she took her time to open the door , when she opened the door she saw a girl wearing some baggy clothes as if she had the worst day of her life or as if she was here to ask for food .

Aika :" Hi , why did you take so much time to open the door? "

Diana :" Oh , it is you I thought some one else was there. "

Aika :" Uh huh who were you expecting , your boyfriend?"

Diana :" Hey silly you know I don't have any. "

Aika :" Fine fine now come and sit. There is this book which I bought for you ."

Diana :" Thanks man I have read almost all the books which I bought last time with you at the library . "

Aika :" I know , this is the reason why I am your bestfriend. "

Diana :" Ohh bestfriend and all huh, want to eat something?"

Aika :" Sorry but I am running late for the party . Meet you soon . Byy . "

Diana :" Byy . "

Diana felt something was off with her bestfriend as she never refused to eat and more than that the book which she gifted was not her usual romance book along with that her dressing was not the type which some one would wear outside also she felt that she was guilty about something.

Diana 'never mind may be I am thinking too much. '

She started eating her lunch as usual but the only thing different today was that instead of watching her favourite drama she would be reading the book gifted by her bestfriend.

So here starts my new journey with the book she told herself

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Book ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

" Once upon a time there was a girl who was living her life happily with her parents in a farmhouse, where there were 4 bedrooms one was her own, second was of her parents, third was of her brother and the last one of her servant. They all used to live happily until one day there servant found a girl outside their house and decided to adopt that girl as he had no children. He decided to name that girl 'Aika' . The girl was angry about the whole concept of these new girl because earlier she used to get all the attention but now all the time all she hears from everybody is 'Aika this , Aika that '. She was so much angry that she was ready to do anything to get her out of the house but then one day when she was solving a puzzle and was stuck Aika helped her , that day she felt something different about this girl and started talking with her more and more but as she started doing that slowly slowly she started losing all her family members due to different reasons such as heart attack , car accident , plane crash and cancer all she had left was her bestfriend whom she had meat only before a year and herself

Everybody started ignoring her and her bestfriend but many of then told her that she will lose everything if she continues to talk and live with her so called bestfriend but as she always did she ignored everyone and continued to live her life with her bestfriend but as she started attending college and made more friends whenever she introduced them to Aika they would start ignoring her the next day and gradually it became a pattern and everybody started ignoring her in the college because of this even she started doubting Aika that maybe there is really something wrong with her but then again after spending some time with her she thought there is nothing wrong with her but who knew there was something huge waiting for her and all of that would be starting today. "

(((((((((((((( Diana ))))))))))))))))

I don't know why but this novel feels like it is my own life first of all the the life style was exactly like my childhood and same number of family members and that Aika she was adopted in the same way this story is just getting creepier with each and every word i am reading it is as if someone has been staking me this entire time and now wants me to get involved in this game , I sear to god Aika if you are playing sometype of joke, I sure would love to kill you .

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Book ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

Today our girl thought that, this day would be the same as the other days but someone knocked her door while she was preparing to have lunch , she wasnt expacting anyone so she took her time to open the door and when she opened the door there a lady was standing in baggy clothes as if she had faced the worst day of her life or was here to ask for some food but then the lady was no one other than Aika and there she started having conversation as if nothing wrong was going on in her life and then she gifted a book to her bestfriend and when our girl invited her to have lunch with her then she told her that that she was running late for some party and would not be able to .

Our girl as usual accepted her lies and started reading the book while having her lunch and while reading the book she realized that this book was so close to her life .

(((((((((((((((((((((( Diana )))))))))))))))))))))

This book is scary so scary i am not reading this book anymore this is book is all about my life i don't know where Aika got this book from ? And according to this book Aika told lies and i believed them then does that mean that all these time she has been lying to me ????

It is as if i know nothing about my life and the author of this book knows everything but how in the hell is that possible are there any hidden cameras in my house no that cant be i clean my house almost everyday and if there were then how did this page about today be present in this book?

And the most difficult thing to digest is that this book has no author name and when i searched the book online all i obtained was no such item exists then how the hell did i recieve this stupid book which would kill me from heartattack wait heart attack dad also died with heartattack while reading a book , where is that book i kept it here only , where ? where ? Why the hell am I not able to find it ?

Here i found it let's see what is there in this book hmm OH MY GOD how is that even possible this entire book is filled with empty pages but dad was reading these book for almost 4 days and on the fifth day he died , then where are the pages which dad was reading ?

There is something wrong going on should i read this book further or not ? May be I should read it then I would be able to know the reason for the death of my father .

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Book ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

My my after this our girl was so shocked that even a small cry from the cat would kill her because of heartattack , it was like she was playing the game of death or life . She started to swear her bestfriend for handing over this book to her but even she did not know that even her bestfriend was a pawn to hand over this book to her , she started searching the book to see if the name of author was printed anywhere but suprisingly she left one spot the first page of the book .

(((((((((((((((((((((((((( Diana ))))))))))))))))))))))

What the hell ? I actually did not check the first page of the book , first, first, there what is the name of the author ? OH MY FREAKING GODDESS how is that even possible ? My dad is the author of this book but how is that even possible ? He died ten years ago!!!!!!!!!! How did he even know about all this things?

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Book ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

There our girl just checked the first page of the book and guess what the author of the book was her dad father don't get freacked out girl the story has just started other than that the more schocking thing is that the author of this book had also died while reading a book but guess what the book which was the reason for his death has nothing written in it !!!!!!!!!!

And now when the girl is so engaged in reading the book that she has even forgot about the food she was eating and time suddenly her phone would ring .....

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Diana )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[Every day I wake up

Every day I wake up alone

Every day I wake up

Every day I wake up alone

Let me open up the discussion with

I'm not impressed

With any mother fucking word I say

See I lied that I cried

When he came inside

And now I'm burning a highway Hades

Shut the fuck up

When I'm trying to think

I gotta keep my concentration

Give me one more drink

And then I'll try to remember all the advice

That my good book told me

And all the lost souls say

Every day I wake up

Every day I wake up alone

(Kill me just kill me)

Or get me out of the sun

Every day I wake up

Every day I wake up alone

(Kill me just kill me)

Someone get me out of the sun

Drugs, bars, backseats of cars blowing boys

What a boring life I've led so far

Just a prime thirteen

When I rode his machine

Tried to keep my body dirty

And my eyes closed and clean

So with a wink

And a smile and a vial of meth

I took his hand

And then we walked through the shadow of death

And then I tried to remember all the advice that my teacher told me ]

When did I even set this as my ringtone ?? Should i pick up or not ? I guess i will not pick up my phone .

[And all the lost souls say

Every day I wake up

Every day I wake up alone

(Kill me just kill me)

Or get me out of the sun

Every day I wake up

Every day I wake up alone

(Kill me just kill me)

And get me out of the sun

Someone get me out of the sun

Someone get me out of the sun

Deep, deeper, deeper inside

Pull the wool nice and tight

So that it covers your eyes

Can't find a god, love, Jesus, father

I don't even care that much

So why do I even bother?

So let me just end how I was gonna begin

Don't waste your time waiting 'cause I'm going back in

Now if I could just remember all the advice that my mother told me

And all the

And all the lost souls say

Every day I wake up

Every day I wake up alone

(Kill me just kill me)

Or get me out of the sun

Every day I wake up

Every day I wake up alone

(Kill me just kill me)

Just get me out of the sun

(Kill me just kill me)

Someone get me out of the sun

(Kill me just kill me)

Someone get me out of the sun ]

At last the call ended lets see what is written in the book.

There there as the phone was ringing the girl thought that she could change everything by not picking up the phone but now a voicemail would be waiting for her .

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Diana )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Voicemail , let me check ,

Voicemail: Hello mam am i talking to Diana Roberts ? If you are miss Diana then can you please come to the police station we have found a dead body of a lady . Her name is Aika according to the information.

WHAT ??? NO, NO, NOT HER TOOO , WHY GOD WHY DOES EVERYONE LEAVE ME???

Fuck the book first I am going to the policestation .

[[[ Policestation ]]]

Police : " Hi mam , how can I help you?"

Diana : " Hello sir I have received a voicemail saying that my friend Aika's deadbody has been found. "

Police : " Miss, what is your name?"

Diana : " My name is Diana."

Police : "Hold on a second mam I will talk to my superior."

Diana : " OKh"

Police : " Mam please follow me. "

[[[[ Superior's office ]]]

Cheif police : " Mam , can you please tell us whose body this is?"

Diana : " This is Aika's body."

Cheif police : " Mam if you don't mind can you tell me the last time you meet her ?"

Diana :" Last time this morning."

Cheif police : " Mam , how is that possible we found this body yesterday night ."

Diana :" Yesterday night?"

Cheif police : " Yes mam."

Diana : " That is not possible , I just met her this morning."

Cheif police : " Mam , i think currently you are in shock and are not able to beleive things we will call you again when we need you."

Diana : " But , fine ."

[[[[[ Back to house ]]]]]

What is happening today? First the book , then Aika , and if Aika is really dead since yesterday then who gave me this book today?

This book and that person are dangerous what should I do? Should I burn the book or throw it? But if I will do that then how will I know what is going to happen next and the reason for which I was reading the book to know the reason for the death of my father and now my friend.

I need to read what is going to happen now , where is the book ? Where did I throw it?

NO NO not here , where the hell is the book it cannot just go around roaming places to places.

'Knock Knock Knock '

Who could it be now and at this time ?

Aika : " Hello , bestie how are you?"

How is these even possible? I saw her dead body just minutes ago and now here she is standing in some fancy clothes and asking me how am I? If she is not dead then whose body had police found and why did it look exactly like her? And if it really was Aika's body then who is she?

Diana : " Aika is it you?"

Aika : " Of course its me , are you not going to invite me inside?"

Diana how can i invite you inside when you are supposed to be dead and here you are standing like a healthy person : " Aika lets sit outside in the fresh air."

Aika : "Sure , did you like the book? Are you reading it?"

Diana now is the time to ask everything : " Aika why did you send me a horror book this time? "

Aika : " Did you not know this book is a romance book? And why would I even gift you a horror book which is not even my type, are you sure you are okay? "

Diana what is she telling? She surely gifted me a horror story : "Are you sure ?"

Aika : " Damm sure , bring out your book and we will see who is lying ."

Diana : " Sure , you wait over here. "

I told her that I will bring the book but where the hell is the book? I searched for it almost everywhere.... Oh fuck there it is but I am sure it was not there a few minutes ago and why does the book seem different.

Aika : " Diana Diana how much more time? Have you gone there to bring book or write one?"

Diana : " Here and tell me isn't it a horror book ."

Aika : " Diana , are you sure you don't have any fever ? Clearly this is a romance book ' Who exactly is she ?' , if you don't like the book then I would not bring you one next time but don't make such stupid lies. "

Diana : " How is that possible ? Give me the book. "

Aika : " Here check whichever page you want ."

Diana hell no how is this even possible ? If this is a romance book then where is the horror book? And what about the story I read in it? And if that book doesn't exist than how did I even read such story and what about my day? Wait if that book doesn't exist then even the voicemail shouldn't .

Diana : " Aika wait a minute I will bring some food for us."

Aika : " Sure bring me some maggie."

Diana : " Okh."

Where is my phone ? Voicemail , oh my! Even the voice mail is not there then what about my visit to the police station ? Wait I can check on my phone which place I have visited all this time ? AHHHHHHHHH how is that even possible ???????? I visited a cementry and thought that it was a police station .

God knows what is happening in my life. And it is good that all the above things were just some stupid imagination .

Now let me keep this all aside and prepare maggie for her or she would kill me .

Diana : " Aika , your maggie is ready . "

Aika : " Thanks ."

Spending time with Aika is sure a good thing for me it helped to take my mind off from all the stupid horror story going on in my mind . Now where is the book? Let me read her romance story or else she would be angry with me again and I definetly don't want that .

So here goes again .....

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Book }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Our girl after visiting the policestation was so confused as to why was Aika dead and if she was really dead then what about the person who had given that book to her but then as one person says that when a person faces bad time then they should face good time also . So our girl started imagine things like the horror story was a romance story written by her favourite author and how her friend was still alive and they were spending time with each other as any other normal day . She was happy to realise that all the above horror part was just some kind of imagination and that this romance and maggie was real . But little did our girl know that the ketchup which she is going to use now to eat her maggie with is nothing else but blood . So girl how was the blood ?

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Diana )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

What the hell just happened ? So all of that was real ? Death of Aika ? Me reading a horror novel and police station ? And this ketchup ewww why did I not notice it earlier that it was very liquid and bright red in color unlike regular ketchup ? The main question is why is these happening to me ?

There should be some way to stop these , but what would it be ?

May be till I don't get out of these horror world I should refuse eating anything and only drink water as I don't want to eat weird thing like blood as if I am a vampire . Wow I can create joke on such serious time also . Weird me .

Back to book ....

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Book ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

Girl was getting exicted to read more of the story and experience it but what she did not know was that may be now as she was interested in the story so were the others ...

The girl is reading the book in her garden , her garden is soo big that it can be used to conduct a party for 5000 people and then too it will have enough space . So our girl thought that the garden should be kept open for each and every person to come and have a walk but nobody usually came due to the weird news . But today a couple will come in and have a walk with there dog . The couple will be a little different as the man will be dressed in some fancy clothes but the women would be dressed in white clothes and their dog , well they will have a dog strap but she will not be able to see the dog only hear the dog's bark .

After walking for quite some time they will come to our girl and ask her to give a ride to their house as there car broke down while they were driving here. And our girl will say no as they are strangers .

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Diana ))))))))))))))))))))))))

The couple is there but there is no dog according to the book , but what does this mean ? A man in fancy clothes and a women in white and there is a dog but no dog ! Wait fancy clothes Aika she came in baggy clothes but in my dream she was in fancy clothes and there after in the policestation she was in white clothes ..... But what does the dog mean ? It is there but it is not? The book says they will come and ask for a ride and i will say no but what if i say yes? Will that change anything ? Or tell me reasons for the death of my parents ?

The couple were is it ? There they are but wait they seem a little different up close. There every thing is normal , wait they are not walking !! There are no footprints , means they are floating in the air ?

Oh God I think that it was a bad idea to even think of giving a lift . May be I should run away from these house and have a vacation for some days.

[[[[[[[[ Driving the car ]]]]]]]]]]

The road, isn't a little too empty for Monday ? Never mind I should drive and not think about the book or Aika anymore . There is a lady in the front , but why is she standing there even after I flashed light to tell her to move ? Uhhhh I will now have to stop the car to ask her why she is standing in the middle of the road . Here goes nothing ...…..

Diana : "Mam can you please move?"

Lady :" ....re.....ok...."

Diana : " Mam what are you saying ? Can you speak it clearly ?"

Lady : " Read the book , READ THE BOOK, READ THE BOOK NOW!!!!!!"

OH MY , how does she even know about the book and why now ? If I ask her will she answer me ? Lets try...

Diana : " Why should i read the book ? When it wants to kill me?"

Lady : " Avrhbfr.gr.....srgeyvefvddw....no danger...."

Diana what is she even speaking : " Mam could you please repeat that?"

Where did she go ? OHhh myyy don't just come and go like that ..... But wait what did she tell me first to read book and then something something but at last it was no danger . If what she is telling me is right then that means that the book does not mean any harm to me but wants to tell me something .. May be that will help me to understand the meaning of that dog . Fine but that book was left at home now I will have to go there again and then read it .

' Knock Knock Knock '

Why am I not even scared with it anymore ? Maybe I am becoming familiar with all the ghost and there party.....Now, now who knocked ?

Ohhhh that is the same women who told me to read the book , isn't she?

Diana : "Mam , how can I help you ? "

Lady : " Book "

Diana : " Yes mam I know I have to read book . "

Lady : " Book "

Is she telling me something different , book ? She has the book ? But the book was at my house .... wait I have seen her , where ? where ? She is the same one with that men and the dog !!!!!

Diana : " Mam do you have the book ? "

Lady : " Book "

Got it book book where can the book be , there now what should I say thankyou ? But isn't that a little to stupid ?

Diana : " Thankyou. "

Oh how can I forget that she is a ghost and not some human .... they will come and go according to there wish not ours.

Now let's continue with the book

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Book ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

So our girl goes against the book again and again and instead of telling no to the couple she ran away !!!!!!! May be the more she will read the book the more she will get familiar with them ...

But that has already happened as she received her book from no one other than a ghost ...

So now here goes the story the reason for the death of her parents and her brother is related to Aika , Ya Ya I know how can such a small girl be the reason for death of different persons but she is and want to know why ? I will not tell you but some one else will wait for 5 minutes .

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Diana )))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Earlier when everyone used to blame Aika for the death of my family I always used to ignore it but now I feel like I was betrayed by the person I loved the most . But why would she do that and the main thing is she was so small at that time the same age as me then how did do that?

The book said that it will not be the one who will answer my question but it will be someone else but who would it be?

[In a town in the woods at the top of a hill

There's a house where no one lives

So you take a big bag of your big city money there

And buy it.

But at night, when the house is dark

And you're all alone, there's a noise upstairs

At the top of the stairs, there's a door

And you take a deep breath and try it.

And the flashlight shows you something moving just inside the door

There's a tattered dress and a feeling you have felt somewhere before.

And there's the creepy doll

That always follows you

It's got a ruined eye

That's always open...

And there's a creepy doll

That always follows you

It's got a pretty mouth

To swallow you whole...

So you scream and you close the door

And you tell yourself it was just a dream

In the morning you head into town,

'Cause you… ]

Wohhh the ghost really knows how to scare a people , so who is calling me ?

Police man :" Mam can you please come to the police station and confirm some statements . "

Diana : " Sure officer . "

So it will be the police man who will tell me the truth of the story in the book or only a part of it ?

[ At policestation ]

Police man : " Hi mam , how can I help you ? "

Diana : " I was called here to confirm some statements related to the death of my friend . "

Police man : "Okh mam come with me . "

Diana : " Sure "

Police man : " Mam go to the office on right hand side . "

[[[[[ Superior's office ]]]]]

Diana : " Hello ."

Man : " Hi , sit down . "

Diana : " Who are you ? And where is the cheif police ? "

Man : " Ohhh the cheif he is somewhere doing his duty of buring the dead body . But didn't you come here to get the answer? "

Diana : " What do you mean by buring the dead body ? And the answer how do you know about it? "

Man : " Oh darling you are not the only one with the book . There are many people out there who is a part of these games but some are here to know the truth and others are here to face there death . So you are here to know the truth , aren't you ? Otherwise you would have been told to go to the office in left. So ask what is in your mind. "

Diana : " First of all what do you mean by I am not the only one with the book ? "

Man : "Oh about that there are many people out there with books but the only difference is the reason why they where choosed to read the book, like some are given the book because of their horrible mistakes like your family . "

Diana : " What mistakes are you taking about ? Till I remember my family made no such mistakes that the only way to get out of it would be death . "

Man : " That is not my story to tell you but the mistakes could have been done at any point of time maybe they had done that before your birth . "

Diana : " Okh then is Aika dead ? "

Man : "Sure she is dead . "

Diana : " Then where is her body ? "

Man : " Didn't you see the body in the morning ? "

Diana : " That can't be her because she had visited me in the morning and according to your dead officers her body was found yesterday . "

Man : " Do you see the body over there? "

Diana : " Yes . "

Man : " Go and have a look . "

Diana : " Okh "

This body is very small in size , whose body could it be? She looks like Aika , when Aika was small .

Diana : " What do you want to tell me with the help of a girl body ? And why does she look so much like Aika ? "

Man : " That is Aika's body . "

Diana : " How is that even possible ? Aika was alive till yesterday and you are telling me that this girls body is of Aika's . Do I look that stupid to you that you try to joke around me and I will believe such a joke . "

Man : " How can I make a fool of you , darling . If you don't believe me then that is other thing . But maybe I have one way to prove that I am telling the truth . "

Diana : " Fine then show me your so called proof . "

Man : " Do you remember the man who used to work at your house ? "

Diana : " Of course . "

Man : "Then darling can you recognise my face now? "

Diana : " But ..... how ? "

Housekeeper : " That story is for Aika and she would love to tell you . "

Diana : " But where will I find her ?"

Housekeeper : " She will come to you , you don't have to find her . "

Diana : " You mean to say that all these while , for 20 years my friend was a ghost and only I was not able to tell the difference between a ghost and a human . "

Housekeeper : " There there child everything is fair in love and war and you two loved each other as friends the reason for why she killed your family will be given by her only. "

[[[[[[[[[[[ On the way to home ]]]]]]]]

So for god knows what time I have been living with a ghost which did not try to harm me but it killed all of my family members. What had they done that they died in such a cruel manner ? Aika , Aika why does the entire mystery of my life revolve around you ? Who are you ? If you died at such an early age then surely you entered my house as a ghost and the housekeeper ,your step dad was also a ghost then how where you two related and why them ?
