บท 1: Into a new city

"I am Sarah, 18 years old. I completed my high school successfully and entering to my further studies", she said to her granny's friend. Both her parents were died when she was young, in her teens. Her grandmother with her pension helped her to study. Now she earned scholarship with her good marks in high school.

Sarah is a different girl with too many talents. She is extremely creative and she is not scared for darks and anything except "insects", 'until now'. She is brave and beautiful girl. Her eyes are big and blue, looks pale white and with black thick and long hair. Her eyebrows added beauty to her face. She want to do a course that is not available in her state. So she pondered her granny to allow her to go to another place.

Her granny scared in her heart whether she can manage alone. The reason is she is already cheated by her Ex boy friend in her high school. Finally her granny accepted her to leave alone. Sarah is happy when she heard that she ran around the street jumping everywhere with joy.

Sarah applied a university and finally got. The place is called 'Boursia' .She went to the place with her dresses packed and some money in her bag, droped few tears, leaving her granny. She is not rich so she wanted to spend less money for her food and shelter.

Granny knew a nurse who worked with her before 10 years. She is living there now and her name was Riza and Sarah's granny had her address. Sarah was on her journey to that place now. "Sarah don't go there" a strange voice heard when she was sleeping. She thought it will be a dream.

She slept again she saw her Ex in her dream. She was extremely angry on him so she woke immediately. She decided not to sleep. She somehow managed the day not to sleep until she reached the place.

She is bit tired now reaching Boursia. Its hard to find a address in a new place. She saw a person who looked and smiled at her. She thought she may help her. She called her " Mam, could you help me to reach the address?" Sarah asked gently. The lady found Sarah's voice so humble so she decided to help her.

I am Erie, the lady introduced herself and asked the reason she was here. Sarah told that she came to continue her studies in a university here. Erie told the directions to the address. She had a small vechicle she dropped Sarah in half way. Sarah found the place was too narrow.

She found Riza, the nurse's house. The front door was tall. broken and with many scratches with deep brown in colour. She ringed the bell on her left corner. She heard few steps nearing the door.

The door opened with a irritating noise. But ' I am not scared ', sarah said herself. There came a old lady looked like a witch, with hair like uncombed sheep's hair, had a mole on her tip of the nose, only three teeth in front left in her mouth.

Her face seemed no blood circulation as if she is dead already, with faded dried wrinkled face.

Sarah is frightened a bit. She asked, "Are you Riz.... Rizza...", her voice stammered. " Yes, you lil girl ,who are you? ", said that witch like lady but she's Riza.

She gave a letter given by her granny. That witch like lady let her in and asked her to stay in her house. She told Sarah to fresh up and be in the room, and added that her lunch will be in the table in few hours.

Haa, Sarah lost her fear. " Ughh, why I am so scared for a lil thingy", thought herself. She went to the room alotted for her. She was very tired she saw the bed and felt to lie on it." Awww, how comfortable it is!" , relaxing herself for a while. She slept.

She heard a noise and woke, thinking herself that she need to bath. She took her towel, and few bathing stuffs and went to the bathroom adjacent to her room. She found the house was quite. But she doesn't mind. She opened the shower, the water was warm.... relaxing for her. She closed her eyes and suddenly had a dream. She saw a beautiful flower becomes dried and destroyed by a iron hammer. She opened her eyes. She suddenly noticed blood arising from the shower. "What....what is this?", she screamed. and gone out off shower. Wrapped her towel around she went all around the house to tell about it.

she's baffled that she was unable to found anyone. Her heart was beating faster and faster. she shivered. But a voice still said "Be brave!".

She went to the top of the house. Climbing the weak wooden stairs. She went and looked inside the water tank from where the blood water came through shower. She slowly opened the Tank's lid and kept aside.

She looked into the water tank . Her heart beated faster. Her eyes grumbled to look at it... but the water was very clear. She laughed, "shit! why I am scared?". She put her hand on the surface of the water. A eye ball with many red optic nerves came near her hand. She took her hand away, and fainted immediately.

She waked from her bed. Laughed its just a dream. Mmmm mmmm.... she kept on thinking why she got a horrible dream. She went to shower and dressed up, but she didn't found any blood and she was glad.

She went and sat on the table for her lunch. She was humming her favorite song and thinking about her new university life. For so long the witch like lady was not there. She scared that will her dream become true.

Unexpectedly she came with a big chicken fried in her hand, for their lunch. Sarah's mouth watered to see such a wonderful food. Her hungry stomach made more sound to drive her to eat it faster.

She realized there was less salt in the food. So she called that witch like lady to add some salt. but there is no voice came in return. She went to the kitchen to find her. But she's not found there. The kitchen was huge with lot of jars arranged neatly in a six rowed glass cupboard. Sarah decided to find the salt by herself.

Sarah started to search salt in all the jars. The second row is little high so she reached it by climbing in a three legged stool. When she opened the third jar she heard a strange sound at the corner of the kitchen. She climbed down the stool and walked towards the corner where she heard the noise. It looked as if it a secret way, it looked like a cave. Sarah is thrilled finding new things. She like adventurous things . She went into it. She kept on walking inside to find something interesting. When she reached the middle of the cave she found a three feet black green eyed big cat, It is huge. Sarah thought its just a dream and walked near to it. She squeezed its cheeks and pulled its whiskers. The cat didn't respond.

Sarah then saw a four pathways splitting from there. She decided to enter the third way, she heard a voice telling her to stop. She thought, "Why I get such imaginations all the time!". That big cat came in front of her and said not to go into these pathways. Sarah scared at the cat and ran away into the second pathway. She scared that the cat followed her, so she ran faster.

Her energy level dropped. But she still think it's her dream. She began to get a filthy smell like dead blood. She turned her right and saw a room full of dead cats with black fur. Sarah's eyes filled with horror. There were lot of tools in the room, sharp knifes, hammers, scissors...etc. There were many jars filled with fluid containing parts of cats dead body. She experienced disgust and gone out and entered another path.

While she was walking she saw a shadow of a lady with a huge hammer in a hand heading towards her. Sarah thought it will be witch like lady and hid herself at the back of a box awaiting to see her what she's doing there.

Sarah, when tried to saw her, the shadow disappeared. She came out from hiding. She somehow found her path to the kitchen and came out. Her dress were wet with sweat as she's nervous. Sarah again searched the witch like lady in the house. She's in the room cleaning.

Sarah is quite confused, "what is going on here?", " is this a dream? or not?". She is thinking she's dreaming and she's trying to come out of it. She's tired so she bathed and dressed up and lied on her bed. She opened a eyes for a while when she lied.

She suddenly felt to check the lady, so she went to see again. she went everywhere around the house. she went into the cave inside the kitchen entered into the third pathway she found the body of the witch like lady, rotten with horrible grim smell. She stood there for a minute's time. She screamed aloud and ran outside the house. A lady neighborhood scared because of her sound and came outside. When Sarah asked about Riza, the nurse. She said ," we don't know where is she and no one found her for a month".

"What? , i found her dead body", said Sarah frightened.

Sarah was grim horrored that she was staying in a haunted house. And went away.
