Mystery of The Jungle

Episode:- 13 The dark Path

Anita watched with a smirk as everyone left the room, but as the silence grew thicker, her smirk began to falter. She started to hallucinate, seeing things that weren't there, and her hands began to move on their own, scribbling strange symbols on the wall. Her laughter grew louder and more manic. Meanwhile, Aman had silently slipped away from the group, his intuition telling him that something was off about Anita's behavior. He made his way back to the house, his heart racing with a sense of foreboding. As he entered the room, he was met with a sight that made his blood run cold. Anita was laughing around hysterically, her eyes wild and unfocused, as she continued to draw on the wall with a frenzied intensity. Aman's shock and concern were evident in his voice as he called out to Swara, but she just mocked him, thinking he was overreacting. He quickly cut the call and dialed again, this time opting for a video call. Swara's expression changed from amusement to horror as she saw Anita's state, and she rushed back to the house with the others, who had been halfway out the house. Aman called Swara, "Swara, something's wrong with Anita. She's acting strange." Swara saw the call, "Hey, why are you calling me, Aman?" She turned to see, but Aman was nowhere to be seen, so she picked the call. "Hey, where are you?" Aman said, "Sw... Swara, please come back. Anita is behaving abnormally. I am feeling scared for her." Swara laughing, "What are you talking about, Aman? You went back? Dont worry, you know here, She's just being her usual dramatic self." Aman frustrated, "No, Swara, you don't understand. She's speaking alone and drawing on the walls. She's not okay." Swara teasingly, "Oh, Aman, you're so paranoid. Hmm... I guess someone is feeling something." Aman in serious tone, "Swara, I'm telling you, something is wrong. Please come back." Swara laughing, "Fine, fine. I'll come back. But if this is just another one of your overreactions..." Aman spoke while interrupting, "Just come back, Swara. Please." Aman cuts the call and dials again, this time opting for a video call. Swara answered, "What's going on, Aman?" Aman said in a serious tone, "Just look at Anita." Swara looks at Anita, who is laughing hysterically and drawing on the walls. Swara gets shocked, "Oh my god... what's happening to her?" Aman grimly, "I told you something was wrong." Swara urgently, "We're coming back. Right now." Swara disconnects the call and yells, "Guys, wait! We have to go back!" Everyone confused asked, "What's going on? Why do we need to go back?" Swara frantically, "Just come see for yourselves." Swara shows them the video which she accidentally recorded. Everyone panicked, "Oh my god... what's happening to her?" Ankita scared, "Oh no, oh no, oh no... what am I going to tell Mom and Dad?" Aarav calmly, "Hey, hey, it's okay. We'll figure something out." Aarav consoles Ankita with a sideways hug. Everyone urgently, "We need to get back to the house. Now." Aarav firmly, "Let's go. We'll figure out what to do when we get there." They all quickly turn around and head back to the house, worried and frightened by what they've seen. Ankita said tearfully, "This is all my fault. I knew and experienced something was off... yet i didn't take care of her." Aarav reassuringly, "It's not your fault, Ankita. We'll get through this together." Everyone entered the house, and they saw a very horrific scene. They saw Anita still drawing and laughing. Aman said, " Thank God, you all came, i was so scared to go towards her." Arnav said, " It's okay. Let's see what she is doing." They entered the room, Ankita pointed to the wall in a teary voice, "Look! She had drawn something on the wall!" Aarav gets stunned,"This is insane... she's depicted herself, killing us all, one by one." Swara shuddering, "And the expressions on our faces... it's like she's enjoyed it." Aman grimly, "This is not just a random act of violence. She's planned this out, and she's enjoyed every moment of it." Aadarsh angrily, "We need to stop her. She might be hurt, and before she hurts anyone else." Ankita tearfully, "Oh God, what kind of a sister, I'm? But why, Anita? Why would she do this to us?" Aarav softly, "I don't think Anita is in there anymore. Whatever has taken over her, it's not our friend." Avantika said, whispering, "What do we do? We can't just go up to her and say,'Hey, stop killing us'." Aman firmly, "We need to come up with a plan and fast. Before she strikes again."
They all nod in agreement, determined to stop Anita and the dark force that has taken over her. Suddenly, Swara remembers a man who held her hand in the morning by warning not to go to the old temple. Swara said, " You all take care of her, I'm coming soon." She dashed out and started searching the man. But all was in vain, Swara frantically searching outside, "Where is he? I know I saw him around here somewhere..." She suddenly hears a voice behind her. Voice in a different language, "Maine kaha tha ki tum yaha se chale jao par tum nahi gaye. Yeh toh bas shuruat hai." Swara turning around, "Wait, you're the one! I don't understand what you're saying, but please help us!" Man in a deep, mysterious tone, "I told you to leave this place, but you didn't listen. This is just the beginning." Swara desperate, "Please, you have to help us! Anita's gone crazy, and she might hurt other people. We don't know what to do!" Man looking at Swara with piercing eyes, "I will help you, but you have to trust me. Can you do that?" Swara nodding, "Yes, I trust you. Please, just help us stop Anita." Man nodding, "Follow me." He turns and walks away, with Swara following closely behind. Swara confused, "This is the old temple. You warned me not to come here, and now you've brought me here. I'm so confused." Man smirking, "This is a very important place to understand why your friend is now... crazy." Swara curious, "What do you mean? Please tell me." Man beginning his story, "This temple was once a sacred place, where people came to worship and seek blessings. But one day, a dark ritual was performed here, and the temple was cursed." Swara intrigued, "What kind of ritual?" Man, serious, "a ritual to summon a powerful entity, one that granted immense power but at a terrible cost. The entity consumed the souls of the priests who performed the ritual, and it has been feeding on the negative energies of this place ever since." Swara alarmed, "And Anita? How did she get affected by this?" Man grimly, "Anita stumbled upon this temple, and the entity sensed her vulnerability. It began to manipulate her, feeding her dark thoughts and desires. And now, she's under its control." Swara determined, "We have to save her. How can we break the curse?" Man said serious, "It won't be easy. We'll need to perform a ritual to banish the entity and free Anita from its grasp. But we'll need to be careful, as the entity will not give up its host easily." Swara resolute, "I'm willing to take that risk. Let's do it." Man smiling sinisterly, "Very well... if you dare." He pauses, his eyes glinting with an otherworldly intensity. Swara firmly, "I dare." The man's smile widens, and he nods slowly as if savoring the moment. Man softly, "Then let us proceed... into the heart of darkness." Swara got a call, so she turned to talk with Arnav. When the man smirked and was thinking, "Finally I will be free." With sinister smile.
