Mysterious Waterfalls

I, Venni and Srini planned to visit forest. So we called for a tourist company and they arranged for the trip with a guide. The guide was Mr. Arun. On that night, we packed all our things and got ready for the trip. Next day, we started our trip by train. Then we got down in a small village station. We were received by a person from the village. We stayed in that village for one night in a grandma house. I asked,"Grandma, we are very excited. We will be visiting the forest tomorrow". She replied, "Don't think that I am trying to scare you. But let me tell you about the story of the forest. It is very dangerous. There is a monster living in the waterfalls there. He caught many people from this village and made them work as slave for him. They don't even remember any of their relatives after entering that mysterious waterfalls. No one could escape from there until the monster allows you". Venni said," I am scared". Srini replied," Don't worry ice(pet name for Venni by Srini). We will take this as challenge". Then we slept peacefully and next day early morning we got ready. We started walking to forest after thanking that grandma.

We reached near the waterfalls at night. So our guide told us to make a tent near the waterfalls and rest there. He told that we can go to that falls in morning. So me and venni made the tent for us and they made the tent for them. We sat outside the tent and had the food which we bought. I had veg-sandwich. They all had chappathi and chicken gravy. We sat for sometimes and talked to each other about the mysterious waterfalls. Then we slept in the tent.

Next morning I got up before everyone woke up. I was feeling very fresh standing in the rich green forest. I walked towards the waterfalls and entered into it. Suddenly my physical structure got changed into small and also my costumes got changed automatically. The place was entirely different but very beautiful. I heard a thunderous sound. Then a hand caught me and took me near the back of a tree branch. I got scared and looked back at the hands. Then I moved my eyes upwards. Oh my god!!! I have never seen such a handsome guy in my entire life. Our eyes met with each other.

I questioned," Who are you? What is this place? ". He kept his forefinger on my lips and told," Shu... Wait". Then he said," They are very bad and if they found you here, they would have made you also as their slave". I looked at the side about which he was talking and I was completely shocked. There were monsterous creatures. "Who are you? Why did you come here?", he asked. Then I replied,"I am Suja". I explained the entire story to him. Then he said," Thank God. You can leave from here because still the monster didn't see you".

Once he sees you, you can't escape from him. I asked," Why can't you escape?". He replied," I can also escape from here. Because he has not seen me also. But I came to save the people. I am searching for clues here." Then I told him that I came with my friends and also I could help him. He denied my help and asked me to leave from there. I was disappointed and looked at him sadly. He said that he will ask for help if needed.

We both came out from the waterfalls. My friends were searching for me. When they looked at me, they got happy. And they shouted at me. I introduced them to him but I don't know his name. So I asked for his name. "I am Shakthi", he said. He asked us to immediately leave the place before the monster sees us. I was looking at him desperately. Srini asked," Ji, Can we help you?"  Shakthi replied, " Please leave from here. No one can do anything". I shouted," Why shouldn't we help you?". He stared angrily at me. We were standing strongly opposing him. Then he agreed with us reluctantly.

Shakthi explained the plan to us. I was so excited. Venni was little scared. Srini was also equally excited as me. The guide initially opposed the plan but then he agreed. I and Shakthi went for search of saint in the forest to get a special medicine to change the mind of the people who got stuck in the waterfalls. Srini,Venni and the guide went to get the sword from village head.

We were walking inside the forest. I asked him about the forest. He asked me to keep quiet. I walked silently following him. We finally reached that saint house. Shakthi said, "Guruji". An old saint came out and he looked at me. The saint replied," Shakthi, take this medicine. It is ready now. And this girl is the one who can kill that monster. This village was waiting for these many years for this girl only". I and Shakthi was surprised. I said, " If this is true, then I will definitely help this people. Guruji, bless me". The saint blessed me and I thanked him. I and Shakthi moved from there. We were waiting for them to return with the sword. They reached and as soon as I touched the sword, I felt something. I remembered many things which I couldn't even explain. Shakthi asked, "What?" Now I understood everything. I am the one to kill him. Venni asked," What are you telling Suja?" I explained," Yes Venni. I am responsible for killing him. Because my grandma was the reason for him to be changed as monster. That only I realized when I touched the sword. This sword was used by my grandma. Now after putting my blood on the sword, I can use this to destroy him. I told my friends to stay outside the waterfalls. I don't want them to get into danger. Only me and Shakthi went inside the waterfalls because he already knew the place.

He threw the liquid on whoever people came in front of us in the waterfalls. They all got changed into normal person and swimmed across the water and they were escaping from the waterfalls. I felt happy for them. We reached in front of the monster. It stared at me angrily. It said, " You came back. Wait this time you will be killed". Then I said," Let's see". Then it started fighting with me. I asked Shakthi to put the medicine on the sword. He did as I told. I hit with that sword. Then the monster changed into a normal person. He tried to attack me but I escaped. Then I put my blood on the sword and killed him.

All people were rescued. I and my friends felt extremely happy. I and Shakthi started looking at each other. My cheeks turned red due to blushing. I just smiled at him.
