It was 12.30pm and i got down the stairs. There was none in the hall. Max was sitting in the lawn. "Hey Max.. what are you doing here?" I asked. " Nothing Windey. Just..." . He was trying to hide something. His eyes are clear enough to understand that he was feeling low inside. " Comeon Max. Whats wrong? Please tell me." I said. ". " Windey i am worried about Cullen. She was not being herself. She is behaving wierd and i am really worried about her." . " What happened Max? What did she do?" I asked....

"After Uncle Jake has left we went to our room. I took my tab and started playing dungeon seize. I was completely into it and became unaware of my sourroundings. It was 12.00pm exactly and...hicups disturbed me... I got down the bed to have some water. Cullen was sitting before her kitchen set and was talking. I first thought she was just playing. I came out of the room, went down to the kitchen, had some water and cameup. When i opened the room.. what i saw was...really shocking. Cullen was such a nice girl and she never spoils her playthings. She always puts them back in their places once she finishes playing. But this time when i opened the door all in her kitchen set were scattered everywhere in the room. The bedsheet was disordered and even the  clothes were outoff the cupboard. I didnt believe what i saw. I went to Cullen and "What is this Cullen? Why did you do this? I never remember you doing this kind of mess before. If mom had been here she might have given you a tit for what you have done. Is this what mom and Windey taught you? " i shouted. "Stop Max. It isnt me. Its Caroline. Its Mrs.Caroline who did this. Go shout at her. Everyone are shouting at me these days. I hate you Max. I hate everyone. ". She started sobbing. I didnt understand what she said. Who is Caroline? And when did she enter our room? She wasnt there when i was in the room. Is Cullen telling lies? No...that cant be possible. I deeply trust Cullen in this regard. She wasnt taught to lie. Never she lied before. Mom brought her up like that. If she is true then who could Caroline be? All these thoughts ran in my mind. I came out off my thoughts and " Sorry Cullen. So sorry for being aggressive. I promise not to behave like this again. Even Windey was feeling bad for not being good to you. We will surely make you comfortable again". Saying this i hugged her and she hugged me back tight wiping her tears. After a while "Cullen, why did Caroline do this to our room?" I asked. "I dont know. We both were talking and playing. You got down the bed and went down. After a few moments she suddenly stoodup in anger and did all this. I dont know why.". She said. "Hm...ok.. you said that you were talking right? What did you talk?" I asked..she told that......

" What did she tell Max?" I asked. "She told that Caroline wants us to be away from this house." Max said. " What?" I asked. "Yeah Windey Cullen said that Mrs.Caroline wants us to be away from this house. She wants us to leave this house." Max said. "But why?" I asked. " Its because she doesnt want that to happen." Max said. "What is that going to happen?" I asked. "I dont know Windey. Even Cullen told me the same. She said that Caroline dont want that to happen. Even Cullen dont know what that 'that' means."Max said.

"Where is Cullen now?" I asked. "Upstairs..in her room" Max said. I went upstairs. "Cullen open the door." I shouted. But she didnt open it. I knocked it again and again but no one opened. After a few minuites Cullen opened the door. I went frustrated but i decided not to shout at her. So i convinced myself and " Why did you take this long time to open the door Cullen?" I asked softly. " Sorry Windey. I have been asking Mrs.Caroline to open the door but she didnt. I was busy rearranging the things back in their places. Caroline made this room messy." Cullen said. "Oh really. Good." I said. I remember hearing the name Caroline sometime before. When did i hear? I started thinking.... yeah... Mrs.Caroline is the one who said that she was living in our outhouse. But she wasnt there. I didnt find her there that day. "Cullen do you know where Mrs.Caroline lives?" I asked. "She said she lives in the outhouse. " Cullen said. Oh my god....there is something really fishy happening. There is no one in the outhouse. It has been locked. Even Max saw it that day while we were playing hide and seek. "Windey.. meet my new friend rosey" Cullen said raising up. "What? " i asked. " Yes Windey. She is my new friend Rosey." She said showing a doll. I have seen that doll somewhere. Hey..thats the one i saw behind the wall while playing hide and seek. I didnt bring that inside. "Where did you find that doll Cullen?" I asked. " Mrs.Caroline gave it to me Windey". Hearing that i felt like butterflies in my stomach. I raised up from the bed and rushed out off the room. Whats wrong with Cullen? Whats wrong with me? Whats wrong with this house? What shit is happening.

I got down the stairs and i saw a cover on the table in the hall. It was food inside it. "Max.. who brought this cover?" I went to the lawn and asked Max. "Hey..i forgot to tell you windey. Uncle Jake came when i got down the stairs to drink water. He gave me the cover and said that he will not be coming for the lunch. He told me not to wait for him and went away. I put the cover on the table and went back to my room. Thats when i saw the room messy."

"Ohh..ok..Come inside. Its hot here. Go and call Cullen and i will be arranging things on the dining table." I said. "Ok Windey." Max said and we came inside.
