There was total silence in the air for 2 min...

They were totally shocked and frightened to see a skeleton over the bed.

The bedsheet was wrinkled, covered with blood splashes, it was gone brown due to long time. A real horrible death might have occurred.

“What the hell is this...A skeleton.”’ Gautam whispered.

Everyone was looking at the thing.

“What's this Vikrant, does your haveli contains killed people here!!?", Manish asked.

“I don’t know, I don’t know what is this, how it came here..." Vikrant protested honestly.

“Are you hiding something from us, if there is something dangerous here, we can also die. You understanding my point Vikrant.?”  Abhishek pointed out.

“This is horrible, better we should leave this place” Vrushika was getting tensed.

“WHY....I mean why, we haven’t done anything, this thing how it came here I don’t know... UHHH... Okay, let me tell you one thing, this is not my house. I don’t know anything about this place... This was Ravi’s haveli and an ancient gift from his ancestors to him, which he thought to handle it to me...” Vikrant replied the truth.

“Who Ravi, the one who died???

oh.....Now I am understanding...  that’s why you didn’t have the keys of this place and for this purpose you requested for Ganapat mama to clean this abandoned place...

What you have thought? You wanted us to come here and enjoy the holidays in this...this so damn isolated and abandoned haveli... Oh then we are not that crazy Vikrant” Abhishek bursted out his words.

“Sorry, but yes, I did brought you purposely, but won’t you were enjoying this place just few minutes before, if this incident might not happened, everything was going great." Vikrant

“Yes if this incidence, but now it happened.... And now I feel that we are not safe here...” Abhishek again frowned.

“Yes we are not safe here Vikrant please try to understand, I was started feeling uneasy as we entered into the zone... This place has very bad vibes, which I could feel. Do you find any other person outside...? No...Do you find animals around.. ?No...You saw any bird outsides...?No! This place is not good...” Mama put his views...

Vikrant started feeling that his dream of looting the haveli’s treasure was going to fail.

“Whoever wants to go can go, I will stay here...” Vikrant firmly replied.

Naina closed the door; she doesn’t wanted to see the skeleton anymore...

“Guys this is not the time to discuss, this is time to decide, whether to stay here or leave, as Mama said, I too felt the bad vibes, just from the sage who stopped our way... everything was so weird. I am not feeling good here...”, Vrushika too put her views forward.

Vikrant felt tensed now as most wanted to leave.

“What to decide Vrushika... we should just leave this place, those who want to join us can join.... This place really seems dangerous....” Abhishek said and looked at Vikrant “and yes, you did very wrong Vikrant, didn’t told us the truth...”

Everyone took their bags and decided to leave except Vikrant, he was just standing and looking them going...They moved to the main door and stopped...

***

Someone stopped them. Everyone step back by looking at him.

Giving a confident look Azad stood in their way.

“Where are you going, the real game will start now.” Azad entered.

Everyone felt scared as they thought they were caught, they signed each other that not to reveal about the skeleton thing to this policeman.

“I won’t ask you many questions, just one question... WHO IS VIKRANT SHARMA HERE..?"

After listening to him, everyone turned their head and looked at Vikrant,

Vikrant be like, “wh... what the ****..?”

Azad laughed, “Oh so you are Vikrant Sharma, boy you made a great plan, but unfortunately you failed, you murdered RAVI NARAYAN, but you left your fingerprints at his home... And that was a biggest clue for us to find you...  I ARREST YOU BASTARD” Azad frowned.

“What, you are having a miss-carriage Sir" Vikrant quickly spoke.

"What?" Azad got confused.

"Sorry... A.. I mean you have a misconception, I was at home when Ravi died, He died due to the suicide, I don’t have any connections with his death”

“Oh then what about the fingerprints..? Are they fake?”

Vikrant rememberd, The night when after Ravi died, he told me to check out for the map at his home... yeah and during that, as I came in the living room I saw something which made me fall back... And then to stand, I took support of a table... I guess, there my fingerprints might have been printed... damn shit... What should I do now, should I narrate him a different story, no no... That won’t work, I need to tell him something reliable, but what....Vikrant was thinking hard for a story to tell and suddenly

“GH...GH.... GROAN....” a wild big wolf-like creature jumped in, his nails long, red blood color, it was seemed to be a cold blooded creature, it leaped over Azad in a snap and took him away in seconds, every one got frightened to capture a dreadful attack of a living demon, they ran upstairs with terrible shiver, it was a shocking act, they moved up so rapidly that they left their bags down, everyone entered in Vikrant’s room and they locked the room from inside.

“Oh my gosh!!” Naina was frightened by the anonymous terror.

“What was the thing, I wanna go home, no, no I can’t stay here” Vrushika started crying.

“Guys, guys, calm down, are you even able to go down now, in this state. Whatever happening here is new to me either....” Vikrant was trying to sound convincing.

“My... my spectacles...down there... I ran so quickly that it fallen down... I can't see anything clearly now...” Manish said taking heavy breaths after running.

Scared Mama started murmuring Hanuman chalisa...

“Vikrant just please fucking tell us what's happening here...” Abhishek requested terrifyingly.

“I don’t know, even I was unaware of that creature.” Vikrant sounded tensed.

“Hey where is Aisha?” Gautam asked.

“Oh my god... She didn’t came out from her room... she is still there...She was drunk, that's why she was lying up on the bed and even at the time Naina screamed she didn’t came out... damn damn damn... that thing will take her too” Vrushika was getting more scared.

Manish stood up and said “We have to save her...”

“Man how? That thing down there doesn’t seem herbivore... your one step down to her is like a step to hell, and most important, you can't see properly, you specs are not with you now. How would you find her?” Vikrant.

“I... I can’t but ...guys won’t you help..” Manish cried.

“Just calm down first, think about the ways to escape from this place” Vikrant.

“Call someone for help!”  Vrushika suggested.

“But who? We can’t call police” Vikrant.

“Why, those are the only who can help us from getting out through this ‘do or die’ situation” Vrushika replied.

“The first thing they will ask us that why are we here, at this so dull haveli, and for what, for a week vacation. Who comes here? NOBODY, Second thing they will take all of us in custody and will have a long time investigation... this is just damn problematic...”

While they all were discussing, somebody knocked the door, everyone looked at the door, got more frightened by the loud noise...

‘Knock, knock, knock’

It was a terrific movement.

‘Knock, knock, knock’

Again, more louder.

Vikrant moved forward to the door.

He slowly opened the door and...
