(Authors note:-The story is taking place in the 1900s so the names and places will be a little older)
The darkness of the village umshing made it clear that people were dead in sleep.The light of the moon which was falling on the village gave a little light to the ants which were carrying their sustenance.
Vrooooooooommmmmmmmm...............as the tyres of the cars whispered in the eerie silence of the village which was making the owls growl together as they can sense that something very bad is going to happen!!
A creeking sound can be listened by the ghosts of the silence as the unadorned man opened the car doors carrying a carion of a small girl on his shoulders...the carion was laying silent on his shoulders with open hair...cold body...and with a creepy smile on her face with eyes open....
Sweat began to rundown from the hands of rajiv dixit the village dairyman as he saw everything in silence....with fear of death in his eyes.. knowing that some ritual is going to happen for sure....
He ran straight to the village head Rajiv verma....with a obsequios voice he informed everything to him until the village head gathered all the people of the village and began to head to the bungalow which was placed in the outskirts of the village...
The picturesque of the bungalow is like a demons chamber....giving a sinister feel to whoever visits there....with a Banyan tree as tall as the Mephistopheles...the uncanny winds make it feel more creepy with a dim glowing light at the entrance of the bungalow..
The whole village gathered near the bungalow as the youth of the village began to break the door of the bungalow as it was locked from inside.....
As the door broke an unwanted silence made the centre of the people as all of them are stunned as they saw something which made their whole body shiver with a feel of terror and fear as the girl's body was placed inside
A circle made by ashes of the dead with a lightning candle on the head .....The skull made the centre of attraction with the man uttering some satanic and Vedic words.A woman was sitting in front of the girl with a shiver in her body not knowing what was happening with her.
She was wearing a red saree with glowing eyes with a bindi on her forehead wearing anklets but the body of the woman is dead with no moment in her legs and hands.....they glowing eyes just blinking and asking for help....to save her from this situation..
The witless villagers didn't take much time to make a move as one of them took a log placed inside the house and began to beat the man performing the ritual .but he didn't seem to be hurt a bit as he continued to utter those words.
The villagers dragged both the man and woman out of the bungalow and tied them to the Banyan tree as the cry of the child present in that bungalow proved them to be his parents working and doing witchcraft all-over the village.
The village seemed to be so dead as most of the children from past few days went missing.After a few days their carcasses were found at the outskirts of the village near the bungalow.
The villagers questions got the answers which they were searching for the past few months as all of them decided to burn them alive but someone noticed that the man was still uttering some Vedic words.
One of the villager dragged that man's tongue out and cut-off his tongue as he began to shout in pain.The woman got consciousness but it was too late as all the villagers including the head VERMA began to pour petrol on both of them.
The child present there requested all of them to leave his parents but the cold-hearted villagers have other plans though.As one of them threw a burning torch on them.
The whole village got woken up by the shout of the satanic couple who were getting burnt alive infront of the child they gave birth to.Even the child is helpless just watching his parents completely turn into ashes.
But in-between this something frightening happened as the women with all her strength shouted in a loud voice.
IN THE COMING 12 YEARS THIS WHOLE VILLAGE WILL BE TURNED INTO A GRAVEYARD 🪦 AND THIS IS MY CURSE TO ALL OF YOU PRESENT HERE INCLUDING YOUR FAMILIES .....AAAAAHHHHHHH.....AAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Both of them turned into ashes in front of that soft-hearted boy within no time leaving him in misery.
That night passed with the cries of the couple indulged in witchcraft.As the sunrise from the east there was a debate which was still going on between the villagers.As who's responsible for the spoiled brat as his parents are no more.
The ruthless villagers suggested burning him instead of giving him a life.
On the other side the kid is unaware of anything about the talks going around him.He was emotionless sitting under the Banyan tree crushing something with his feminine hands.
Mr.verma took the wisest decision of joining him in an orphanage as he took him with himself.As the hand goes off from the land verma observed that the little kid was crushing the ashes of his parents making a sign which threatened him.
AFTER 12 YEARS.
Rajiv dixit was having a sip of his favourite beer. When suddenly he heard the sound of a crow cawing in the middle of the night.He was surprised to hear the caws as it was broad night sky. He left it to be his illusion but this time he saw a mutilated crow diving towards him at the speed of an arrow.
The crow scratched him on his head the beer glass fell off from his hand as he began to walk towards the abandoned bungalow . Where they burned the couple alive.
The footsteps were only heard by the arthropods present there.No one was foreseeing the happenings that are going to make the village upside down.
The villager's fate is going to change completely within a span of days as the god of death is awaiting them. The ritual was not the end but the beginning for the vanquishing of the village.
