FIVE

That night went by and her parents planned on sending her to her grandma's house immediately the next day. Her grandma was a pretty old lady; aged around eighty and lived alone in her one story house in a small town that was quite far from Y/n's house; it would take good three hours to get to her place.

Y/n's father suddenly had to go for a business trip for a week; that was exactly the period for which Y/n was going to live with her grandma. As Y/n's mom would be left alone in the house, she said that she'll ask the senior doctors if she can get a leave for a week and to her luck, the doctors agreed saying that they will manage. As soon as Y/n got to know that her mom was coming with her to her grandma's house, she was thrilled. Her dad was not that happy with the decision that his wife took a leave of whole one week as his point was, if everyone leaves the house, who is going to take care of it?; they'll find everything covered in dust when they get back home. But after a little argument with Y/n and her mom, her dad gave up.

Y/n and her mom were now sitting in the living room of her grandma's house. They have just reached and that almost three hour's journey has almost exhausted them. Upon arriving, her grandma made them soup; having soup made by your grandma after a long time feels great, that too when you are going through hell, grandma's recipes works like magic. After gulping down the soup as fast as possible; as if someone was stealing Y/n's precious soup if she didn't eat it soon, she went to the guest room which was allocated to her. Her grandma's house was situated at the very end of the residential area which made it very easy to look up to a very beautiful view of the woods if you look through the guest room's window which Y/n was in. Y/n's mom was sharing a room with her mom that is Y/n's grandma while Y/n was given a whole room to herself. The distance between the two rooms was not much but there lied one bathroom that was common for all the rooms in the house and the staircase to the terrace of the house.

The trio of two mothers and one daughter had great fun in the noon. None of them rested; they just sat at the porch and gossiped about the kinds of stuff that made them laugh their asses off. It was a good noon for the trio and everyone hoped to spend the whole week just like that. It was eight in the evening and the three of them were sitting at the dining table with plates full of food in front of them and having small talks while eating. Y/n's grandma knew the reason why they suddenly visited her in the middle of the year when there are literally no festivals or occasions. That old lady had a lot of knowledge about what possibly could be lurking in the woods that stretch over thousands and thousands of miles covering almost all the portion of the country, as she had been on this planet for some eighty years and also have seen and heard many things that has happened that seems not so natural to humans. Therefore, after learning about Y/n's experience on that dinner night, her grandma was quite interested in her story. She wanted to hear it from her precious granddaughter and see if she could relate things.

After their dinner was done, Y/n's mom went to their shared room whereas Y/n and her grandma stayed in the living room talking about things that have happened with Y/n in the past days.

Y/n explained everything; every tiny bit of what happened to her, to her grandma. She knew her grandma would not take her as a joke, unlike her father. She felt very safe in her grandma's house thinking that she was far away from the negative things that she experienced in her own house. After talking for some two hours or so about the few incidents among several that her grandma has heard or seen when she was young, they went to bed.

According to her grandma, demons live in the woods; that's why it's named the "Demon's Den". People from Y/n's grandma's era say that, in the woods, there are creatures that no one can see unless they want you to see them. They live in the dark and gains strength from drinking the blood of humans and that was exactly how these creatures have survived for ages; eating human flesh and drinking human blood. They are known to have ruled the place for ages and lived on the other side of the river that separates 'their' world from the 'human' world. Nobody ever found out how they look, how they live, or even the slightest bit of information about them other than the fact that they drink the blood of the innocent. Once someone crosses the bridge that lies over the river, they are said to have fallen to their death. There have been many people that have tried to know what it actually is that scares the humans, but everyone that tried has gone missing.

After listening to the whole story from her grandma, Y/n realized that she was lucky; very lucky to be precise. Just like those other 'courageous' people, even Y/n tried to cross the river but just because of that mysterious guy, she stopped and she was really thankful to that handsome guy for stopping her. She never talked about that guy to anyone not because she was afraid of getting scolded by her parents for trying to cross the river but because she found him very familiar; his eyes were very much familiar to her and she did not want anyone to know about him unless she comes to know where she had seen him before.

They wished each other good night before walking to their rooms. The whole house was eerily quiet and everyone was lying in their bed. Y/n was thinking about that guy who stopped her that afternoon from crossing the river when she heard a soft tap on her window. Being extra conscious about her surroundings her eyes immediately opened and directly fell on the window just in front of her. As she was trying to look through the window properly, she saw a shadow pass by. It was completely dark and she started finding herself helpless. She did not know what to do anymore. As she lay there on her bed, still, she started hearing footsteps just above her head; on the roof. She was lying on her side with her back was facing the door and after a while, the footsteps faded and Y/n relaxed a bit. But her luck was terrible that night; to her dismay, the footsteps that faded from the roof just above her head were now heard coming down the stairs from the terrace. She clearly heard the footsteps roam around the house and then it stopped just in front of her bedroom door. She could not move her arms or legs as she was completely frozen in fear. After few seconds since the footsteps stopped, she heard the door of her bedroom open.
