Sunshine at Bhangarh Fort [COMPLETED]

12: Witch Megha

Zee-> KATH...KATH WAKE..UP KATH..PLEASE *sob* for G-God's s-sake w-wake u-up.

I was crying. Every attempt of mine to wake her up just failed. Zen heard I was crying and came running. His eyes were red and swollen, his hair was in a mess. Seemed like he was again crying.

Zen-> W-what's wrong Z-Zee?!

Zee-> Z-ZEN....KATH.....

I was unable to say anything else, I started crying. Zen was broken inside but he did his best to wake Kath up but all was a vain. At last...

Zee-> W-What shall w-we do?!

Zen-> I think, now only one person can wake her up.

Zee-> W-who?!

Zen-> The Sadhu! You stay here. I'm going to bring him.

Without waiting for my answer he went out. I was sitting beside Kath and was sobbing when I heard a knocking sound. I went out to search and found that it was coming from behind a closed door of an old room. Now I could hear people screaming to open the door from behind it. First I hesitated a little then I decided to open it.

Zee-> Huh?! You all here?! Wh-what happened here?!

Servants and maids-> W-we don't remember an-anything but we found o-ourselves entrapped here after we woke up-

Zen-> ZEE?! WHERE ARE YOU?!

I ran towards him the maids and servants followed me.

Zee-> ZEN?! Did you find Sadhu?-

Sadhu-> Wake up Kath, my daughter, wake up, you're absolutely fine.

The sadhu chanted some mantras. Then came towards me and Zen.

Sadhu-> She'll wake up soon. Don't worry.

Zee-> Sadhu?! What had happened here?!

Zen-> S-sadhu my f-father-

The Sadhu showed us a hand indicating us to stop. He gestured us to follow him. We obeyed. He walked through the corridor and stopped in front of the closed door of the last room, where I had found Kath lying. We could hear chanting of spells from behind the door. The sadhu asked us to be quite, he too chanted some spell and said "Swaha" at last and threw something invisible into the air towards the closed room. Instantly the chanting of spells from the other side stopped. The sadhu opened the door. And to our great astonishment, there we found maid Megha. Her appearance was totally different and evil. She was frozen by the Sadhu's spell. From the view of the room, we were sure that she was doing black magic. We were too much shocked to talk.

Sadhu-> I have frozen her temporarily. I don't know how long it'll last. You've got very less time......she's the one who's responsible for Mr. Woodworth's death. She made Kath unconscious. She entrapped the servants and maids...and she had also released Ratnavati's spirit from the fort. Ratnavati's spirit was only limited to the Bhangarh Palace. But now she's released...she'll haunt the whole town now. The thick black clouds that you saw was nothing else but the indication that Ratnavati is free now. You've got very less time.

Zen-> WHAAAT?! SO...SHE'S THE CULPRIT....I WON'T SPARE HEEERRR.....

Zen was very furious and so was I.

Zee-> WHAT. THE. HELL! But why the heck she even did these all?!

Sadhu-> That only she can answer-

Servant-> Kath is awake!

We ran towards the room.

Zee-> Kath?! Kath I'm so glad that you're awake. A-are you ok?!

I hugged her. She was sitting like an idol. She didn't reply anything.

Zee-> KATH?!

I pushed her a little.

Kath-> Kotha Bai...it's me, Zee.

Zee-> Huh?!

Sadhu-> Yes it's you. Kotha Bai. Mr. Woodworth also knew it. He had read your palm and understood that you were a shopkeeper during the time of Ratnavati. He came to me for becoming sure.

Zee-> Hmmm...I know he informed me too when I asked him.

Zen-> W-what are you saying?!

Sadhu-> Yes it's true. Kath will inform you the rest. There occurred another incident in the village. I've to go.
