Sarah woke up in the middle of the night. She could hear humming sounds coming from the attic. She tried to wake Aditya up but he was sound asleep. He was snoring! She got the sudden urge to check from where the sound was coming.
Chapterwise story listing -> The Superstition
She got up and started moving towards the attic. As she moved towards the attic humming sound could be made as words coming out of a little girl. She knew it was the same little girl they encountered before. The girl was singing a self made lullaby. She singed, “Come play with me,mommy… come play with me.”
She pulled down the attic stairs and saw a light coming through the opening. Sarah decided to walk into the light.
Back in the bedroom Aditya woke up due to a loud thud. He checked and Sarah was gone. He got up and rushed towards the source of the noise, finding the attic door absent from its place. There was nothing but blank wall in place of the attic door. That was weird but there was nothing but weird in this house so Aditya decided to not freak out.
He screamed at the highest of his pitch, “SARAH!!!!” repeatedly until he heard a faint voice coming from down in the basement. He ran towards the basement and found the door open. Aditya hesitantly followed the stairs down to the basement. He found the light switch.
When he switched the light on, a faint bulb started flickering in the basement. He found a bunk bed there. He started moving towards the bunk. Suddenly the bunk turned red. The bulb started flickering rapidly. He saw shapes appear around him. It was like a movie being played around him and he was smack in the middle of it.
Two adults walked in through the basement door. They looked like the two deceased advisers. They moved towards Aditya with anger in their eyes. Aditya jumped aside in fear and saw a little girl sitting on the bunk bed. She was hurt in every possible place she could be hurt. The male took out his belt from his pants and the female held the girl.
She stripped her naked and the male started beating her with the belt. As he did so, the little girl screamed with pain. The female laughed and started singing a self made lullaby. She sang, “Come play with me, little baby… come play with me.”
As she sang she started abusing the girl sexually as she screamed in pain. The male kept on hitting her with the belt till the girl went unconscious. Then the male and female made love over the little girl’s unconscious body. What the hell? thought Aditya.
Suddenly the projections vanished and the whole thing started all over again but this time in the end the girl did not go unconscious. She died instead. Now he saw fear on the advisers” eyes. They picked up the little girl and buried her right below the bunk bed and they vanished again. He suddenly got everything.
There were three ghosts in the house. One was of a little girl, one was of a woman and the other was of a man. He didn’t get who was the little girl till now. But who was she? He had to find out. He searched the basement for more clues and found an old birth certificate.
The Truth
On that certificate, it was written that the advisers had a little girl. With their own daughter? That’s harsh!!! Now everything became clear. They were killed on her birthday. He could bet anything that her ghost was the thing they saw in the mirror. He had to warn Sarah! But Sarah was nowhere to be found.
Stay tuned for more crisp…
