Chapter 16

Windey's Pow:

It was 7am. We were still waiting for Uncle Jake. In the meanwhile, it was the 28th time Max went up, to check if Cullen was awake. He was very worried about her and so am I. From a far distance , I noticed a lean man walking into our street. He must be Uncle Jake. I grabbed Max's shoulder and pointed out to him. "I am sure he is Uncle Jake." I said. "Yeah Windey. Uff, finally he was here." Max said.

"Hey Max and Windey, how are you guys? What are you doing here? Missed me? Hahahhaha..." Uncle Jake greeted us. "Uncle Jake, we wanted to talk to you. It's very important. Can you please spare us for an hour?" I asked. "Is it now or can you wait till i take my shower and bring something for you to eat?" Uncle Jake asked. "Now..." i almost became impatient. "Well..fine guys. Lets go inside." He said. We went inside our house and sat around the dining table. It was like butterflies running in my stomach. I am very nervous. What if Uncle Jake didn't believe us? What should we do then? These thoughts rounded my mind. "Uncle Jake, do you believe in ghosts? " Max started. "What?" He exclaimed. "Do you believe in existence of ghosts?" I asked again. "Not at all. But why?" He asked. "The things here are very abnormal. We feel like being haunted and Cullen was possessed. At first we thought we were hellucinating. But..no..its all true." Uncle Jake's big laugh interrupted me. "Hahhahahahah.. This is so funny guys. Really so funny. You are in 21st centuary and still speaking of ghosts. Really funny." He said. "It isn't funny Uncle Jake. It's true that she came into our lives. She just made our lives messy. She..." Uncle Jake again interrupted me..."Windey..dont be childish. There is nothing wrong with this house. If it was so, then how could your grandparents survive happily till then? Your grandpa died of a massive heart stroke. It was very clear in the reports. His death wasn't abnormal. Your grandma was sick from then and a ghost isn't surely responsible for that." He said. "But what about all that happened since we were here. I wasn't happy here from the day one . I was haunted by her. It was almost like a sword on my neck, piercing inside inch by inch all these days." Saying this i narrated all that we encountered these days. He didn't speak a word nor he interrupted me in the middle. He was just quiet.

"Uncle Jake..can you help us get outof this house?" Max continued. "Ha..got you. You dont want to stay in this house and so you are spreading a romour. A ghost existence romour. So that you could get outoff here. But why kids? Why do you want to leave? Is that bacause you are not being sent to school.? I said i will make it for you, right??. But it will take some time. Please be patient kids. Dont dare to escape from this house. You will get all your needs." He said. "No Uncle Jake. Its not all that. What she said was all true." Max shouted. "We know that we will be sent to school. We dont need to do all this just for a school. That too we were never liers, and we will not be. Thats how our parents brought us up." I said impatiently throwing the plates on the table down. "Hey cool..Windey. If you are true, then prove it. Prove it to me and i will help you get outoff here." He said. "Prove?? But how??" Max asked. "Fix cameras all around and capture your so called ghost in the cameras. It will be helpful for you too. We can submit it as an evidence to the court of law. But first prove it." He said and went away.

"Ok windey..lets do it." Max said. "But will it workout? Can we capture a ghost in a camera? I dont think its a good idea. What if we ask Uncle Jake to stay with us this night? So that he will be a live audien. What do you say Max?" I said. "But we cant do the same with the court of law. We need to show an evidence and that should definetly be a video clip. Why not try it now? " He said. Hmmm.. even that is a point. "Ok then. We will do it tonight. For now go and bring something to eat. We cant leave Cullen starving." I said. "Yeah..ok." saying this Max went out.

After 5 to 10 minuites,I went upstairs. Cullen was sleeping. I sat beside her. She looks so cute when she sleeps. I looked at her for a few minuites. "I promise, i will save you Cullen. No matter what happens. I will never let anything happen to you." I sat there for a few minuites and i got up. I decided to take a shower. I opened the cupboard. I was searching for my clothes. It was very clumsy. It was Cullen's frocks every where. I put my hands deeper inside. Suddenly... a creak sound. I turned back and everything was normal. Cullen was sleeping and everything was as before. I again turned towards the cupboard and continued my search. Finally i found a teashirt. Uff..thankgod. Never saw Cullens cupboard such messy. What ever.. i got ready for bath and unfolded the shirt. Something fell down from the foldings. It was a paper. I bent down, took it and opened it. It was like a note. It says...

I will not let you leave me till he leaves the world. Dont dare save your sister. She is mine.

A creak sound again. It was from the door. All of a sudden, the door got shut with a big bang. I looked towards the door and again to the paper. To my surprise my hands are empty. There is no paper in my hands. Some strange sound this time. The chair which was facing Cullen beside her bed, started turning. It slowly completed a quarter round and stopped facing towards me. It came a bit forth and stopped. It was all silence. I was constantly looking at the chair nervously. Suddenly... a girl sitting cross legged on the chair with a smirk on her face flashed infront my eyes. She looked very demonic. I was very horrified and walked back. Something came in my way and i stopped hitting something on my back. I am sure it was a person, but not sure if it was Max or something paranormal. I felt very nervous. It was like stones in my stomach. I cant dare to turn back and look. But i should. I slowly grabbed my courage and turned back closing my eyes. Slowly i opened them, but there was none. Giving a big sigh of relief i turned front and..... the girl.. the girl whom i saw sitting in the chair stood just infront of me, Looking into my eyes. I shouted loud closing my eyes and suddenly the door opened and i ran out. It was like i almost died. The door again got shut. I was outside and the bedroom door was shut. Cullen was inside. Oh God...  will that creature do something to Cullen. I went to the door and tried opening it. But of no use. I started banging it. Tears started rolling down. Oh god. Please.. please.. stop all this. Help us get outof here. Dont let anything happen to Cullen. I started crying banging the door.

"Hey Windey.. what happened? Why are you standing at the door and crying?" Max asked. "Max.. thank god you came so early. The door got shut and Cullen was inside." I said.  "What?? But how?"  He asked. I said all that happened. He too tried opening the door but the result was the same. "Wait here Windey. I will go call Uncle Jake." He said and went running. Within no time he brought Uncle Jake upstairs. "What? What happened? Why are you dragging me Max? What happened?" He asked. "Cullen was locked inside by the ghost. Please help us open the door." I said. "Oh god..you started it again." Saying this he turned the knob. To our surprise the door got opened. We ran inside and Cullen was still sleeping. "What do you say for this guys? You said the door was locked from inside?" Uncle Jake asked. We didnt know what to say. We stood silent. "Guys.. please stop doing all this. Stop worrying me with your stories. There is no ghost here and i am sure of it." Saying this he left.

Why is she playing double games? What did she want from us??
