Innocence infiltrated (White Rose)

"In the neighborhood where lights sparkle brightest yet darkness prevails the night most

Do not walk alone they say because you might meet the charming deadly Ghosts"

ahhhh!! (someone screamed)

"Oh shut up Dev, it is just a story. right grandma?" Rani asked her Grandmother.

As seen here Rani is brave girl who believes in facts and logic unlike her twin brother Dev who is a scaredy cat.

Rani and Dev were visiting their Grandparents for summer vacation.

In town of "bhootgarh" which means empire of ghosts.

The Grandmother's name was Meera.

She spend all her life in the this town bhootgarh.

An old town far from the urban lifestyle.

In the foothills of the Great Himalayan mountains range.

The town was famous for its Roses and infamous for its stories.

Stories of Ghosts, Stories of people fighting ghosts, Stories related to Roses and thier connection with ghost.

Rani was an History major in school and science minor.

More than loving this stories, she was seeking them with intention of proving them or denying them completely.

Her sweetly yet dashingly handsome brother Dev was persuing the computer engineering and devices.

The both visit the town once in every two years since there childhood.

It was place they grew up with best memories of thier childhood till the age of 18.

"oh, my little rani" grandmother (Meera) while patting the back of Dev said " Don't be so rude to your brother, this are true tales everyone in this town knows all about them."

"but nanu (way of calling grandmother) this are just stories made by the men of old days to keep the trade of the town intresting, there are no concrete evidence for it." said Rani.

As she speaks this words, suddenly the window on the left side of the living room, sheek open and sweet smell of the Desi Indian Roses overwhelms the whole room as the cold breeze flew in.

Rani felt a sudden embrace on her back as soon as the cold breeze touched small of her back and as the enchanting scent of Rose went up her nostrils she was mesmerized.

For few seconds she became quite.

She started walking towards that window as if to see weather someone was waiting for her like Romeo outside the window of Juliet.

Completely aware of her steps, her foot hits the wall "ouch, aaah it hurts my toe nail it's broken." Rani cried in pain.

"haa, how whose the cry baby sister and more than cry baby you are lost doll, didn't you realise that you were walking in the wall" said Dev making fun of Rani.

" I thought you would stop but I Guess the ghost took a toll on you for defying his existence" said Dev with a victorious smile.

"How do you know it was he not she?" question rani.

" oh come on did you forget the story Nani told us about the charming Male ghost who owned the scent of Rose"

Looking at confused Rani

"Remember when we visited in vacation of 6th grade, when were 12 years old, and when you fell down from the tree house and got the bruise on your shoulder which kind of looks like dried lead".

Rani looked the bruise but couldn't recall anything about it.

The scar was indeed there all this time but she never wonder how she got it until now and how she didn't remembered anything about that vacation?

and why did she walk towards the window smelling the roses? where the stories about town true? or there is something she is missing?
