The Rose Mansion

chapter- 17

Lisa

"Clara Rose " I repeated slowly and looked at them closely.  There were three boys and one girl.  The girl seemed to be the youngest of them all.  They all were wearing black coloured clothes.  " there is no person named as Clara Rose here , I think you are at wrong place " I said my heart beating loudly and I don't know why it is so.
They stared at me and looked at each other.  " you are lying " said a voice behind me,  I looked back to see where did that voice came from, but there was no one.  I looked at the children  but to my surprise they disappeared!
I blinked my eyes and looked around but there was no trace of them.
They just vanished in to thin air!

Wait a minute.
Mom closed the door from outside , so  how did I  opened the door?

My heart was beating loudly and I think this was the only sound in this whole mansion.  I closed the door and went to the sofa and to my horror the four children were sitting there!
I gasped and looked at them with wide eyes.
How did they entered in this mansion?

" what are you doing here? " I shouted but my voice was going shrill.
" We are the students of miss clara Rose " said a boy.

" There is person no named Clara Rose here,  you are at the wrong place " I said rudely.

" no,  we come here regularly " said the girl.

I took a deep breath and said " she is not here and I think you should leave right now "

"It's raining outside " said another boy.

" we will leave after the rain stops " said the girl.

"Ok " I said slowly and sat on the floor

" why don't you teach us? " said the girl. I jumped at her cold voice.

" what? " I asked.

"Singing " they all said together.
I blinked my eyes,  Clara Rose was their singing teacher?

" we know you can sing " said the girl interuppting my thoughts.

I gulped.  My hands were shaking.

" How do you know I can sing ?" I asked.

" we heard you singing at night when you first arrived at this house and you were playing Miss Rose's piano " said the girl.

I stared at them and there was an awkward  silence.  I closed my eyes and began to sing.

Darkness rules me
I am so lonely
Cause no body loves me
I am so lonely
Why no body loves me?
Is that  am so bad?

I paused and looked at them and then
the children began to sing  their voice was extremely icy and cold.  I wondered it is because they are dead.

" Ammmmmmmmyyy "  said a voice and the children stopped singing.

I looked around the room but there was no one except darkness.

" she will kill you " said the boy.

" who will kill me? " I said even I know Clara wants to kill me. 

And now I gave her a perfect chance.

And suddenly I got a sudden pain in my stomach, I put my hands there and
saw blood all over my hands.  I turned around , it was the girl holding a sharp knife  even in darkness I could see tears coming from her liveless eyes and slowly everything went dark.

Ray

When I woke up I saw I was in a room which was completely dark but I could figured the surroundings.  The temperature was freezing !  I got from my bed and tried to open the door but it was jammed maybe locked from outside, I began to bang the door and shouted " open the door " but nothing happened.  I ran my hands through my hair and looked around the room carefully. There was nothing in the room except for the bed.  I sighed.

Suddenly I heard a soft cry from the bathroom of that room.  It seems like a girl is crying,  I went there and saw a girl crying , I couldn't see her face because it was covered with  her hair. 

" um,  why are you crying "  I said softly.  She was silent.  Maybe she was locked in this room just like me that's why she was crying.

"We will find a way to get out of this room " I said.
Then she started to laugh hysterically.

" why are you laughing? " I asked.

she became silent again.

I looked at her carefully and moved her hair from her face.  I gasped  it was Lisa!

"Lisa,  what are you doing here " I said and hugged her.  I felt so happy and relieved at least I am not alone in this horrible place.

Then my phone began to ring.
It was from Lisa!
I picked up the phone
"Hello " 
" Ray, its me Lisa!"  " where are you? "
My hands began to shake as I looked at Lisa who was standing in front of me.  If Lisa is standing in front of me then how could she call me?

" Hello"  Lisa spoke again on her phone .

" I am at my friend's house,  I  will come back soon "  I muttered.

"I don't think so "  she said as her eyes went bitch black and blood came out from her mouth. There were scars all over her face  " she will kill everyone,  she is  your curse "   and   disappeared in front of me.   I blinked my eyes , a chill went down to my spine . My heart was pouding loudly moreover I was freezing here due to low temperature.  I looked  at  the bathroom,  it  was covered with  small crystals of ice. 

I tried to open the door of that room again but this time it opened finally.  I gave a huge sigh of relieve and ran from that room.

The corridors were more darker and colder than the room. I took out my phone and opened the flash light.  When  I looked around,    there were bodies eveywhere which were all covered with blood.  I looked at one body carefully,  it was a  man  he had slit his wrists , a knife was lying next to him.  Carefully I began to check another bodies,  to  my surprise    every one had  slit their wrists!  Suddenly I saw a familiar figure lying on the floor.  I brought my  phone's flash light towards it  .

It was mom!
Her wrists were cut and her hands were covered with blood.
" mom " I shouted and shook her roughly but she didn't woke up.

" she is dead "  said a voice around the room.  I looked around the room but there was no one. 

Then I realised that the voice was my inner voice. 

I know I shouldn't feel this but  I  am feeling very happy that my mom is dead.

This is not me.

I hate her.  She cheated us especially dad.  Serves her right!

Wait a minute how could I think this? 
I am her son and then tears fell from my eyes .

I am not Ray anymore.
