Cursed

Where is Pihu?

Pamela's POV

I and Ashis ran downstairs to find Ann, Pihu, and Rita. The dark house felt really creepy. What happened here? I wondered, feeling anxious. It was already dark outside moreover there was a killer in loose. Honestly, I was really scared, and I wanted to run away from here but saving the lives of my friends was much more important. Gathering my courage I followed Ashis through the dismal hallways of the house. We both checked the library and other rooms downstairs but found nothing. Then we headed towards the basement. 

"It's too dark!" Ashis said looking at me, his voice was a little nervous as he held the door open. The rough concrete stairs faded into an uncanny darkness. I gulped hard and walked down the stairs leading the way. It was freezing down in the basement. We looked around in the utter darkness, our flashlights enlightening the shadowy room but there was nothing at all. Only old furniture covered in a thick layer of dust. 

"Pam! Ashish!" We heard the frightened scream of Sam, as he hurried down the stairs.

Immediately we ran out of the basement to find Sam, his face looking pale and perturbed. Sid followed him carrying unconscious Ann in his arms. He looked distraught, his eyes held pain, he looked completely broken, tormented to his core.

"What happened to her?" Ashis asked completely shocked as we hurried towards them. Ann was bleeding and she had already turned pale. 

"I don't know, but she is bleeding and a lot of blood has been lost already. We gotta take her to the hospital now or else she won't make it!" Sam said, his voice quivering in fear, anticipating the worst. Unconsciously he folded his hands as if in prayer and touch his lips with the tips of his fingers fidgeting in nervousness.

"Sid! SID!" I called, almost shaking him," He looked up at me, his face looking so lost, "We need to take her to the hospital now!" I spoke, but I doubt he heard anything, my words were mere echoes to his ears, he was completely lost, fear of losing someone close to him crippled him, making him unable to think or do anything. He held her tightly in his arms, breathing heavily in utter fear. 

"Ashis, can you drive?" I asked.

"Yes!"  

"Take the car at Ann's house and drive her to the hospital, NOW!" I instructed. He nodded at once and went to the cupboard beside their door where all the keys were kept. 

"Sid go with him!" I spoke," don't worry everything is gonna be okay..." I said placing a hand on his shoulder trying to console him. I knew he was in love with her but he never really realized his feeling clearly. But now I know he understood his actual feeling for her, and his fear of losing her made him completed devastated.

"She will be okay!" Sam spoke as he helped Sid in putting Ann in the backseat of the car, trying to give him courage.  

"Take her to the hospital as fast as possible! I and Pam, we are gonna check for Pihu!! She must be here too!!" he said, his voice was tensed yet he tried his best to hold on to his courage. Ashis nodded as he ignited the car. He reversed the car and turned towards the mountain road when I stopped them. 

"Ashis please take Shallow with you he is too scared to be in here!" I said and handed over Shallow to him. He was whimpering, his ears were flattened, his tail tucked between his hind legs. Ashish took Shallow and placed him in the seat next to him, Sid was in the backseat holding Ann and they headed off to the hospital. 

Soon their headlights disappeared amidst the woods, the sound of their retreating tire against the moist graveled soil slowly faded away leaving us in an eerie silence engulfed in sinister darkness.
