The Secrets To Be Told

CHAPTER 17: The Truth ...

I woke up from the ground still trembling. I was in fear and yet a bit of curiosity was urging within me to know what was that thing.

 I was lying under a huge tree with most of the leaves dried out. There was a old wooden house without a proper foundation. It appeared as if it could fall any time.  

A man came out of that house holding a dirty cup. It was the mad man. He walked to me.

I got up holding the tree, still feeling unbalanced and dizzy. He threw the water in the dirty cup right on my face. That was a bit annoying but still it helped me to stand in my balance.

I thought he was mad but he wasn't he was just more likely a normal human yet he still looked like a man from asylum. 

 Gradually I tried talking to him but he just stopped me from talking about anything, instead he warned me to leave and not to come back. 

But I was not going back without answers , I hopped before him with that photo of his in the album which gave him a desperate shock. This reaction was favorable to me to talk to him boldly without any doubt. Definitely he knew something about the mansion, but actually after what he told me I came to know he knew everything. 

He sat on a large stone with a regretful reaction in his face and started...

mad man's version

It all started when that man came into our house, until then we were a happy family. Even though me and your father used to work there as peasants we still felt like family. One day on a heavy raining night this man with a sinful face came to us seeking for help. He was fully wet, too weak to even stand. We helped him and let him stay in the mansion until he was fine. But one day I saw him having some weird papers having about some evil practices and I soon found out about him. He was a evil man, he believed that giving five innocent lives to the dark world would  make him immortal. He bought his men and caught all of us and we were tied in ropes soon. I still remember there faces. A man with the scar by his eye and a fat Man with brown eyes. They had these sharp weapons with them ready to kill us on his command. They were merciless killers. They killed four of us and their blood was stored in a pot. They tortured us, but me and your father managed to escape and these killers started to chase us but they couldn't kill us and this is the time when suddenly the mansion was caught on fire. I did not know how did this happen. The evil man died inside. I Got separated from your father in the chase and the killers escaped. The police found this place completely burned, they didn't know anything of what had happened here. These two men absconded themselves forever and tricked the police to believe that they died. He almost completed his ritual now he needed only one of our two souls. I still believe that someone is continuing to hunt for our souls to bring him back. That's why I hide in the woods. You have to find out about the man who is continuing this and save us.

Now I understood about this all this time the good souls tried to warn me about this. I had to protect my father and bring this mysterious man to light. These good souls needed freedom. The bad things happening to me was because of this evil man. But the only thing confusing me was the fifth body. MR. Triggers told me that the body belonged to the murderer with the scar alas he must have miscalculated I taught to myself.

NOW WHO IS THE MAN CONTINUING THIS ?
