The History of Mystery

Part 16

We waited for few minutes but he didn't came back. There was an eerie silence. I broke the silence and called my father

"Dad! Are you okay?"

But there was no response.

"Wait, I will check" said Mom and went upstairs.

Same thing happened. She also didn't came back. A sudden we heard that someone jumped from upstairs through window as we heard sound of window breaking.

Me and John ran upstairs and the scene we saw was horrible yet traumatic. My mom and Dad were hanging upside down tied with a spider's web like structure and I saw something was written on the wall.

"No one can help you"

"Now we have to go ourselves there" I said

"Yes" John said

I tried to cut that thing but it was thick and sticky. Mom and Dad were hanging unconscious. We ran downstairs and went to the girls. Max was lying on the bed and Rose was sitting next to her .

"Is she alright?" I asked

"No, she's still unconscious" said Rose.

"Okay, you will take care of her at home" I said.

"Wait! Where are you both going. Don't tell  me you're going to that house." Said Rose.

"Yes,we are going. We have to save them" I said.

"But......." She said.

"Take this bottle of holy water" I said and handed the bottle to her.

"Now we are going," I said and went out of the room.

I took the knife and John started the car outside. When I came out I saw a boy standing near a pole. He was looking same as I looked in my childhood. But I was perplexed that "why this child is here alone?"

I called him
"Hey! You.... Come here"

He came towards me

"Why are you roaming alone here in night" I said.

He didn't responded. Suddenly he said

"Are you going to The Hanswood House"

"Yes but how do you know this?" I asked.

"I'm a good friend of Sophie" he said.

"Really!" I said.

"I tell you they are Scottish. They speak Scottish language" he said.

He said and ran away again to that pole.
Suddenly I realised. I turned back to the pole but he was not there.

"He was a good friend of Sophie! How?" i thought.

A sudden John blew the horn and I came out of my thoughts. I sat in the car and John started driving to that house. I again started thinking.

"He was a good friend of Sophie. It means he was also a....... Spirit. The 2nd spirit That Mr. Robin talked about"

On the other side,

Peter was in a dark room. He checked his pocket that If he could find anything which can produce some light in this dark room. He found his phone and turned on the flashlight.

Firstly he tried to call Sam and John. But there were no signals. He saw around him. It was dusty room and he was lying on that dusty floor. He removed dust from his clothes. Suddenly he saw something under the bed in that room. It was glowing. He took it out from bed. It was a wooden box. He was like hypnotized by that light. It felt that light was saying him to open the box. He opened the box and a black cloud like structure came out of it and throwed Peter on the floor. He gained his faculties again.

"What was that thing" said Peter and stood up.

He opened the door and a chilly wind surrounded him. He felt cold. He moved out of the room and found that he was on the 2nd floor of that haunted house.

On the second side,

Eddie opened her eyes in a room where she saw someone who was emitting white light from him or her. She stood up. It was like a small girl standing over there.

"Hey! Child what are you doing here?" Said Eddie.

That girl turned.

"Wait!... You........ Are...... Sophie...... Sophie Hanswood " said Eddie and stepped back adjoining with rooms wall.

"Yes" her voice echoed in room.

"Please ..... Don't kill me" Said Eddie.

"I wouldn't do any harm to you" her voice echoed again.

A sudden and angry voice came.

"Sophie! I told you not to talk with strangers "

And saying this two hands came through the wall and started strangling Eddie to death.

Sophie's spirit disappeared.

Eddie was not able to breathe properly.........
