THE BLACK HOUR

Chapter 1: How it Started

I don't know how it all started but I know how it ended. I don'y know where it came from but I know how it was gone. I don't know will it come back or not. This is my story , my hour, the black hour .

It all started one year ago . I came to London for my higher studies and my carrier. I was totally alone, so it was a bit insane for me to find a home. On the same day I got a pamphlet on which there was written about a house which was about to be rented.

So, I thought let me check it out. Without contacting that person, I went to adress written on the pamphlet. When I reached that place , it still haunts me. It was totally different than what was presented in the pamphlet. That place was quite wierd , it stinked so bad as if someone's dead body is kept there from years . It only had five houses and at the end it was a haunted house.

Suddenly a man came out of the house which was beside the haunted house . He came near to me and said in a heavy and harsh voice -"Who are you?? Why are you here?? What do you want??". Ok , that was quite wierd but I replied-" Sir, I am here to have a house for myself . I got a pamphlet in which it was written about homes and this was the adress" . He quickly went inside and packed his things and came out . He gave me the keys, before I could ask any question , he went away. I was like where will he live? Why did he gave the keys to me without even charging a penny? But then I thought that if I am getting this house free of cost why shall I not take it. I moved towards the house , the name of the house was - R.E.H/666 . It was wierd as other houses had R.L.F/669 and other numbers after 669.

I was shocked . When I went inside the house it was like an old house. Everything was covered with sheets . It had two floors. I was roaming in the house, then I noticed that all the clocks were stopped at 3:15. I repaired them and hung them again . I was feeling quite tired and sleepy so I went to bed early. I woke up the next morning and I was late for my classes . I was getting ready for my classes and then I heard a doorbell in my house, while there was no doorbell in my house . I thought that it was my imagination . So without wasting any time, I left for my classes . Till seven hours I was attending the classes . On my way to home I saw a street dog crying , so I took that dog to my house . After the dog came to my house I was feeling a little protective . That dog was brown in colour and it had curly hairs. So I named him as Bruno. Till one month we lived happily . But all of a sudden Bruno started behaving quite wierd and then he left the house . I was shocked that why he left the house? I was taking proper care of him, but I don't knowwhy this happened? I was quite sad. At the same night again all the clocks stopped at 3:15 . I ignored them and this time I didn't repaired them . The next morning I woke up very late as from today our holidays started . So, I was totally alone in my house. In the afternoon I noticed that all the clocks started working properly while I didn't repaired them . When I was looking towards the clocks someone whispered in my ears- How is this possible. My day was ok but my night....When I went to bed , I heard someone sharpening the knife and it was coming from the haunted house beside my home. I was very scared
