Next day the door bell rang....Alice opened the door and saw a woman standing.
Alice asked - Who are you?
I am Marlin. The woman replied. I live nearby here I heard you are new here so I came to visit you. I guess you are living alone here how about I help you in your household works as it will be very difficult for you to do it all alone.
Alice paused her and said why will you work here?
Marlin said- I can work as a maid here if you wish and I will not ask for salary.
Alice thought and said okay you can and you can stay here also..and she went upstairs..
Alice kept thinking why Marlin wanted to work here...
Oh am getting late! I better hurry..Alice said to herself.
Soon she was ready to go while going she said bye to Marlin and went towards her car. Her phone ranged it was her mother. Hello Mom how are you? Alice said.
I am doing well my child how are you? is everything alright with? Her mom asked
Wow mom so many questions at a time..

Her mother said - Sara will be coming there soon to stay with you for her studies.
Okay Mom I am in a hurry I will call you later mom bye! Alice said and hanged up.
She started driving to her clinic..
Her house was between the forest and she had to drive a mile to reach her clinic.
Later in the evening she received a call from her sister Sara. Sara said that she will be coming tomorrow. Okay I will come to pick you up Alice said.
While Alice was on her way to return home She saw something in the woods she stopped and looked around but found nothing so she ignored and went home.
In the morning Marlin came in Alice room to wake her up. Alice woke up and was very angry as she was late and Sara was waiting for her in the station.
Oh I am so dead today Sara's gonna kill me today I better go.
She left to pick up Sara She drove very fast and when she reached and saw Sara waiting for her...Ohh you are finally here I thought am gonna die here waiting for you! Sara said to Alice as she was very angry.
Sorry sorry I woke up late today. Alice said.
Okay come on let's go Sara said. Alice may I ask something? Sara asked. Yes of course Alice replied. How did you get that big house in such a low price? I mean though it is far from the town but it is a big house middle of the forest.
Alice said - When I was searching for the house my agent took me here and I found this house very beautiful and peaceful as it is surrounded by trees no noise no pollution and above all it had a very low price so I bought it.
After reaching home Alice said- Go upstairs you must be tired get some rest I will see you in the evening I have to got to the clinic. Sara replied - Okay sis but who is she?
Oh yes she is Marlin she lives here and a maid here.
Sara went to her room and Alice left for clinic.
After an hour Sara came downstairs and asked Marlin for some food.
And started exploring the house. She was going to the back of house. She saw a pond behind the house but was very dirty. And a tree house. She got scared but started moving towards the tree house. It had few stairs she climbed up, opened the door and saw that the house was very dirty and there was a bad rotten smell inside it. She saw a box there, she opened it and found some pictures of a family.
Marlin came there and said - Food is ready.
Aaaaa .... Aah it's you. You scared me. Sara said. Sara came inside the house and started eating..
Sara asked - Marlin where did you worked before working here?
Down in the town. Marlin replied.
There's a pond behind have you been there? Sara asked.
No. Marlin said.
Okay when will Alice come? Sara asked
By 7:30. Marlin replied.
Good am going to have some rest in my room. Sara said and went upstairs.
In the evening when Alice came she saw a car with the headlights on besides her house. She got down from her car and started walking towards it.
She asked - Who's there? What are you doing here?
The car started moving backwards and it turned it's headlights off and soon it was invisible from Alice's sight.
Alice got sacred and she ran towards the house. She said Marlin to close all the doors and windows of the house. Sara came running and asked - What happened? Why are you so scared?
Alice didn't wanted her sister to get scared too so she said - Nothing it's just wind blowing outside.
Ohh Good. Sara said.
Sara said - Go get changed then we'll have dinner.
Alice went to her room after an hour she came down and they sat on dining.
While dinner Alice said - I have found a school for you. You can start it from tomorrow only.
Sara said - Okay.
In the morning...
Sara woke up early and left for school.
She searched for her class. Her class was on the third floor. She went inside and was standing to find a seat. She heard a voice calling - Come you can sit here.
Sara turned and saw a girl saying to her.
She went to her and said - Thank you.
Sara sat next to her. I am Sara. Sara said
I am Nina. The girl replied. Are you new here in town? Nina asked. Yes I came yesterday. Sara replied. Where do you live? Nina asked.
Up in the forest with my sister. Sara said.
A hand touched Sara's shoulder. Sara turned and found a handsome tall boy standing behind her.
Oh my so handsome guy with curly hair. Sara thought in her mind.
I am Alex.
I am Alex. 'Why are you standing here?'
'Am waiting for the bus.' Sara replied.
'Come I will drop you' Alex said.
Sara smiled and said 'thank you'.
Sara asked ' is this your car?'
'Yes but why are you asking this, you didn't like it?'
' No no I didn't mean that just asking.'
Where you do live? Where will I drop you? Alex asked.
Just go straight and drop me near the street I will walk then I live in the middle of the forest there. Sara replied.
Don't you fear of ghost there? Alex said
No I am very brave if I see a ghost I will kick it and throw. Sara said
Hahaha Good I can see you are a brave girl. Alex said and smiled.
Wait wait wait we have reached to the street stop, I can go from here, thank you for the lift. Take care see you tomorrow. Sara said.
Ok bye then. Alex said.
Sara started walking to the forest. It was almost night. ' This idiot my sister who told her to take a house in middle of the forest' Sara said softly.
Why are you walking and talking alone?
Aaaahhhh Sara shouted.
Ooohh its you you scared me to death. Sara said.
It was Alex.
It thought it is not better to leave you alone here so I came looking for you. Alex said.
You idiot I was scared right now. Who walks without a noise? Sara said angrily.
I am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. But I think someone was saying that she is very brave. How come you got scared like that? Alex said and started to laugh.
Don't laugh and follow me if don't want to be the dinner of the animals here. Sara said.
They reached at Sara's house.
Sara where were you till now? Alice asked.

They sat on the dinner table.
Marlin placed the dishes. There were variety of dishes.
Sara asked - Is there anything special today? I never get these many dishes to eat.
Yes today is your birthday and you forgot. Alice replied.
You should have told me before I would have prepared a gift for you. Alex said.
Oh no need. Sara said.
How was yours first day in school? Alice asked.
Pretty good. Sara replied.
Thank you Alex for helping Sara today.
It was my pleasure to help a brave girl. Alex said and laughed.
I believe she must've done something that made you say this.
They both laughed.
Yeah yeah. Now you both stop making fun of me. Sara said in an angry tone.
Ok sister I am leaving now see you next time and thank you for the dinner. Alex said and left.
After he went Alice called Sara and said- Never go alone in the forest in the dark. It is dangerous at night.
