CHAPTER XIII

  I was standing still beside Avon, the dead body of Mrs. Tonks hanging up like a horror movie scene, I still couldn't believe that I was in a room were just a minute ago I was talking to her and now her dead cold body was hanging like and it so felt like another nightmare but this time it was true, it was not just a nightmare but the worst nightmare turning into real one.

My mind was placid like a frozen iceberg I was holding Avon's arm tightly, hiding my face in his shirt.

"Is this real?", was the first sentence Avon said patting my back.

"How did this happen?" James asked.

"How would I know about it?" Avon said.

"This is so unreal, what are we gonna do?" James was speaking to himself.

Avon, my voice was so low that Avon had not heard it.

I just tugged his T-shirt making him look at me.

Emma, how did this happen? He asked.

"I... I don't. Know Avon, I was talking with her and .... then came to call you... I don't know Avon how she ... ", said .my voice cracked at the end tears streaming down my face.

"It's okay Emma, you didn't need to explain anything but we need to get out from here",said.

"Where we will go, we need to call 911", said James.

I was just listening to their talks, afraid of facing what was going to happen next.

At one point I blamed myself I should have explained this to everyone long back, but I stayed quiet which was one of the biggest mistakes I ever must have done.
But what has to happen have already happened and now I can't change anything.

Let's bring Madeline, Nina and Charlotte down we will have to make sure they don't see this Avon said pointing at Serena's dead body.

It was the scary scene I had never seen someone being killed and here it's Mrs. Tonks who was previously telling me about this haunted house and the unpleasant presence.

I just nodded my head and we step upstairs, fear was rising with my every step wills he let us go I must talk about this to Avon and will have told him about this haunted house.

Thinking about how I'm going to explain him I stepped inside our room Madeline was still covered in her blanket.

Madeline, I whispered going near her making fewer noises.

I shook her but she didn't move.

Madeline get up, I said trying to remove the blanket but her hold on it was strong.

Maddie c'mon we need to go! I said pushing her so she could wake.

Madeline didn't even stir whereas I tried hard to wake her up.

This was making me so tense, what if something might have happened to Madeline, what if she is being killed my mind kept on speaking out his thoughts making me run outside to call Avon when he enters in a room with James holding Nina and Charlotte's hand.

What happened Emma? Avon asked coming inside.

She is not waking up, I told him closing my eyes, making Serena's face popping up.

Avon went near Madeleine,

Maddie, we need to go, he said trying to remove the blanket from her covered body.
