local

local

Ruhi sat on a old bench and the old man got himself busy with his small stall
Ruhi Roy
I am loosing my phone signal
stranger

Ruhi Roy
*startled* excuse me !
Ruhi Roy
why does everyone here not make sound when walking *under her breath*
stranger
because they can hear even a small tiny sound from far away
stranger
can I sit beside you
Ruhi moved to give this stranger place to sit
stranger
can I have a cup of tea
the stranger asked looking at the old man. He didn't lift his head but started making tea
now the stranger turned towards Ruhi
Ruhi Roy
They ? who is that ?
stranger
you seem like a curious one
stranger
there is a story about this place ... long long ago there were two brothers,the elder one was a hunter and the younger one was the woodcutter both of them climbed this mountain early morning and left late at night. One day the woodcutter was sick so he didn't accompany his elder brother to the mountain..
stranger
it was night time and the hunter still didn't return so the woodcutter went in the forest to search for his brother
stranger
but he was not able to find him and then he suddenly fell into a pit a trap his brother must have created and landed on a muscular flesh
stranger
the hunter was dead
stranger
yes and the woodcutter didn't knew what to do without his brother because they were always together
no response came from the old man
Ruhi Roy
So what happened next
stranger
So he called for gods asking them for help and a god did listen. He said to the wood cutter "you can help your brother but you have to give him your blood"
stranger
the woodcutter being desperate he sliced his palm and poured few drops of his blood in his brothers mouth
stranger
he did but this time it was not a brother who woke up but a hunter did. He drank up all the blood left in the woodcutter killing him
stranger
Since then he became more and more thirsty and ran around killing humans by draining them. The humans then again prayed to God to stop him. The god then asked him "what will you take to stop harassing the humans" and the hunter replied " I need powers ".
The god agreed but on one condition that he won't harm any human ever again and he agreed
Ruhi Roy
So he stopped attacking humans? what about his thirst?
stranger
what do you think,will a hunter ever stop hunting
a gust of wind passed making Ruhi shiver
the old man called and Ruhi turned to look towards him. He was holding two cups and he gave one to Ruhi and sat opposite to her on other bench and brought the other cup near his mouth
Ruhi Roy
what about her she needs one too
but there was noone there goosebumps rose all over her skin
Ruhi Roy

Ruhi Roy

local
and you were talking to yourself
local
that must be your car, go already it is going to be very dark soon and I should have closed my stall by now but I didn't want to leave you alone
Ruhi sat in the backseat and the car took off
When at some distance Ruhi looked back and there she saw the girl standing in front of the stall and at that moment there eyes met
the girl was smiling weirdly and there was a huge hole in between her eyebrows through which blood was running down
local
* holding a photo in his hands*
he looked at it lovingly and with a longing
stranger

the girl replied but he was not able to hear her
