( After arrival)

Granny greet me and asked for how was my journey, then she said dear Myra go and freshen up and then come back for dinner, she made some of my favorite food and the especial one chocolate cake that i love so much.

"Yes I'm feeling so much tired, I'll be back in ten minutes.

(After dinner)

Granny said to me your room has been cleaned by butler so now you can go and take rest.

Yes of course, Good night. I replied.

( I tripped up stairs towards my bedroom)

I lie down on the bed for an hour and tried to sleep but I couldn't so I got up and start looking all around the room stumble towards a old bookcase that was full of my old books, there were dirt all over the self and books because butler hasn't cleaned it. the I removed my gauzy peach color mantilla propped it up on the wall hanger and got involve in dusting off all the books. meanwhile I found one of my favorite book of folktales of the werewolves and vampires that I used to read in my free time. it has old vintage yellow brown parchment pages which was quite fragile. I picked it out, put down it on the study table then switched on the lamp and start reading it again.

After reading two to three hour I slept.

And then I woke up early in the morning and walked out towards the hillock near the forest it was back side and little far from our mansion.I came here to see a beautiful view of sun rising I spend half an hour here.

when i was coming back to my place, my cell phone rang, it was my childhood best friend Kristina and now we are going to be classmate again in the college, I answered the call,"Hi, where are you can't you come to meet, it has been so long time to see you.

Oh! miss Myra the point is where are you because i am here at your place but you are not here. she replied loudly.

Okay, I got it stay around i'm on the way and will be there in ten minutes, just hang around.

I got my place, and greet Kristina, the we have some breakfast and start gossiping about what happened in our life lately and reminiscing some of our childhood memories we got involved in chattering so much without realizing that the day has been passed.

When we get out in the garden to the granny It's been night fall and was dusky all around so i ask to Kristina to stay here for a night, you can go early in the morning so just inform your parents. and she agreed.

After having delicious dinner which was made by my granny we ambled in my bedroom and Kristina fell down on the bed and saying i'm feeling so sleepy Myra don't disturb me.

Suddenly i remember that i had missed my ball lamp somewhere, so I start searching for it all around in the room but I couldn't found it.

Kristina get up, I missed my ball lamp somewhere that my mom gifted me before her death and it's really important  so get up quickly we have to go for find it.

Myra come on go and sleep it must be around so you can find it in the morning. she said in sleepy voice.

Kristina get up ( I shouted and pulled her hand ), come with me we have to go to that cliff near the forest where I went in the morning and that lamp must be there, it's an emergency for me so we have to go if you are not willing to come with me I'll go alone.

What! (loudly) have you gone mad? and you will go at that cliff, No we can't go and I won't let you go too so keep it in your mind that is a dangerous place there could be  wild animals in that forest.

( I pulled her hand ) come and shut your mouth up we are going so don't try to make any trouble we have to sneak out from the back door without disturbing anyone so keep silence.

( we sneaked out and reached at the hillock) and start searching for the lamp all around but it was not there.

Myra we are trying to find it out since an hour it's not here you must have missed it somewhere else just try to remember, and I think we should leave from here it's looking so dreadful and horrible place.

Okay let's go back. I said

As we turned around to leave we heard thudding sound and what we saw there was a huge animal at some distance and was swarming around as he was waiting for his food. Kristina held my hand tightly and suddenly fainted out, I dragged her to behind a big tree and whisper in her ear get up Kristina, get up, just was trying to make fainted Kristina conscious. few minutes later she got consciousness and start shouting after seeing that huge  reddish brown wolf like animal   ( I shut her mouth with my hand ) what are you doing? you want to be dinner of this huge wolf, are you? Myra these wolf can smell us  they don't need to see us or hear us so we can't move anywhere.( Kristina said mildly and sobs)

Oh! god the wolf is stumbling towards us, is he sensed us Kristina? she start crying, I don't want to eaten up by this (she muffled). we both were frightened by wolf it was continuously walking closer to us, wolf was just about to attack on us (my eyes were closed, i can hear my own heartbeats, palpitations, increased breathing.) and suddenly he stepped back after hearing a vociferous sound of other animals. that sound must be of his flock's animals.

We ran away from there after reaching midway we took sigh of relief.

(It was a miracle that we are alive after at all god saved us from that horrifying animal.)

So now we are safe, Myra promise me that you won't ask anything or explain anything to your granny or anyone else. just keep it up to yourself. otherwise granny won't allow us to go anywhere.

Okay, I agree.( I replied her)

(We sneaked in the house from backdoor and got inside the bedroom and slept.)
