The Lost Legacy

1.Welcome To Sastaslan

CACI'S POV

I drive my car faster than usual and head towards Aida's house. As I reach her house she came with a big suitcase and a backpack.

"Don't you think this is a little too much for a 2 days trip?", I asked starting the engine

"I am always prepared for anything. I have two extra jackets, my first aid box, and emergency medications", Aida justified.

"whatever"

And by the way we are on are way to Sastaslan for our next assignment or that is what Aida thinks. But we are going there to celebrate Aida's 23rd birthday which is tomorrow. Sastaslan being the hill station will be the best spot to celebrate Aida's birthday.

When we enter Sastaslan, my eyes are enlightened by seeing the sign 'WELCOME TO SASTASLAN'. We reach our hotel while our guide for the trip, a young lady of early-twenties joined us.

"Hi ladies, I am Emma your guide for the rest of your tour", she introduced herself.

"Nice meeting you Emma. But we are not on a tour, we are here for an official work", sighed Aida.

"Or we might have come here to celebrate someone's birthday", I smirked.

"CACIIII! Is this for real? Are we here to celebrate my birthday? I am so happy", Aida jumped with joy.

"How can I miss a chance to celebrate your birthday?"

"But what about the article?"

"I spoke with the manager and postponed it to monday"

"I love this!"

"Ok, what are we waiting for? We shall explore Sastaslan"

Emma took us to various tourist spots and we spent the entire day exploring the place and shopping stuffs. The sun started to set and the shops are getting ready to be closed.

"Why is everyone in a hurry to close the shops?", I asked with confusion.

"Umm... do you see that big house over the other side of the river?", Emma asked with a low voice.

"Yeah"

"That house is believed to be haunted and it is advised to stay in after the sunset"

"Haunted? Did you just bring me to a haunted place Caci?", Aida asked with fear.

"Don't worry it's just the granny's tale but it's good if we ignore it", clarified Emma.

"okay, now that it's about to be dark soon we shall leave to the hotel", I said.

As we reached the hotel, I immediately cooked up a story and left Aida alone in the room and headed to my car. I drove to Emma's.

"Caci, you just dropped me. Is something wrong?", She asked with concern.

"Sorry to disturb you but can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"Can you tell me more about that haunted house? I am interested in it. Since Aida is not happy with those haunted stuffs couldn't ask you before"

"No issues I can tell you what I know. They say that a family with a mother, father and a daughter lived there but most of the days it was only the mother and daughter as the father worked in Svaire down the hills. 18 years ago, one day the family left for a vacation and the next night the father was found dead in this house. Since then, a group of people created haunted stories and looted things from that house. But the old people still believe all those haunted stories."
