"Why are you all smiling at me?" Said Lisa firmly. She looked at Ryan and he was still smiling at her. "Your brother Ray is now our main football player from today"said Ryan looking happy. "Actually one player of our team had broken his left leg so we were searching for one good player "said one boy. "It's a good thing you and your brother came to our school" said Ryan still smiling."oh,that's nice "said Lisa feeling a little jealous inside. "Ray always in a centre of attention wherever he goes "muttered Lisa . "Are you saying something Lisa ?"asked Ryan. "No" said Lisa searching for Ray. "Where is he" she asked. "He went home just now" said one boy. Suddenly Lisa stomach began to growl with hunger. The boys began to laugh at her. Lisa blushed."I didn't eat any lunch today"."hey take this sandwich"said Ryan and gave her a sandwich.
************************************
Ray entered the house and realised that the door was left open. Someone had forgotten to close the door. He looked around the house. There was a complete silence in the house. "Mom, I am back home" shouted Ray . But to his surprise no answers came even Lisa didn't answer him. "Where are they ?" Said Ray to himself and searched for food in the dining table but again to his surprise there was no food. He went to kitchen and found a packet of orange creme biscuits. He opened the pack and began to eat it and decited to explore some rooms of this mansion. He went to the stairs and looked around different rooms . All rooms were bedrooms. Then he saw a room and on the door of the room was written something that Ray didn't understand. He opened the door and found that it lead to a different corridor and switched on the lights and realised that the walls of the corridor was full of paintings. His glance fell towards the first painting. It was a girl sitting on a sofa wearing a light peach gown and had soft blue eyes and rosy cheeks. Her hair was very long almost touching her feet and in her right hand she was holding a bright red rose. Ray popped one biscuit to his mouth and looked at painting . The girl looked like that she was in her mid twenties. "Nice"said Ray his mouth full of that biscuit and moved towards another painting. Suddenly he heard a sound from behind .He looked back and saw that the painting fell from the wall. Popping another biscuit to his mouth , he went to pick the painting and to his shock the girl vanished! Suddenly he heard a cackling voice of an old woman. Ray looked around and shouted "who is there?" "Mom, is that you"? But no answer came and cacking voice stopped. He looked at the painting ,the girl was gone! But hung the painting to the wall and moved forward . Then again the painting fell from the wall . Ray frowned and went to pick it him again but to his horror the girl appeared again but this time she was grinning at him showing her pale yellowish teeth. The cackling voice started again. Ray's eye widen. What's happening to him? Was his mind playing games with him? He hung the painting to the wall and looked around the next painting but his eyes filled with terror when he heard the sound that painting again fell from the wall . His heart began to beat faster and he felt that someone was watching him. Gathering courage he picked up the painting and saw that the girl returned to her original posture. Ray gave a little laugh and felt sure that his mind was playing games with him. "Maybe, its because of my tiredness "said Ray to himself. He couldn't hear the cracking voice too and hung the painting to the wall and decided he should go to his room and take a nap. He closed the lights and went to his room but deep inside he felt it was not his imagination, it was something else. Suddenly his phone began to ring and it was an unknown number. He picked up and before he could say anything a voice spoke ."hope you liked my painting young boy" said a woman's voice so cold and chilly that Ray almost froze. His heart began to beat faster ."May I know your name "said Ray putting his left hand in his pant pocket. But it was no use the call was ended. He looked to the phone to see the number but to his surprise no calls were there and the number was no where to see! Ray looked at his phone with wide eyes. "His mind has been playing too much games on him" he felt dizzy and went to his bed and fell asleep.
