She slept peacefully with her Bible beside her, her bed had less space so she moved but still was sleeping. Since she was moving, her Bible fell from her bed. The moment it fell, her clock struck 12:00 a.m and the pendulum kept making  very unpleasant sounds. Eliza tried to ignore and was sleeping. It kept making sounds. Eliza woke up, she removed her blanket and and kept her foot on the ground. Suddenly someone grabbed her foot. She fell and 'it' was pulling her under the bed. Eliza was screaming but no one heard her, 'it' made her voice inaudible. It was getting worse. She caught the bed leg and was putting all her force. That thing started to crawl over her, it touched her legs, back, neck and now her face. 'It' kept it's fingers all over Eliza. It turned her around and was touching her forehead, her hair and was playing.  Eliza was crying, 'it' came close to her face, it was the same woman. She licked Eliza's face and was scratching her neck. She looked into her eyes. All Eliza saw was her all eyeballs were crack and white. She opened her mouth, Eliza saw her Bible laying on the floor, she stretched her hand and caught the Bible and pressed it on the woman's face. The woman's face got burned, and she squeezed into the rat hole, looking at her very sharply.

Eliza slipped out and ran to the door. The door was locked. She tried to break them but her efforts were in vain. She kept on hitting the door, it wasn't breaking. She remembered her family and started to cry. The woman shut the curtains and the bed-light was switched off. It was so dark. Eliza screamed badly. Eliza could hear the woman's footsteps. Eliza started chanting prayers. All she could hear was the woman was breaking into dust and as she disappeared, the lights came back. Eliza sat there and was leaned over the wall and slept.

When she woke up, it was already 8:30a.m, she was damn tired. When she looked around, the walls had something written with blood, it was written "6 more day only." As she went closer, the words disappeared. She freaked out. The plan she made wasn't working, she thought. She was very hungry, her pocket money was over. She opened her door and went out.She went to the same food stall. She saw a huge crowd around it. She went closer, the people were worried and shocked. As she pushed all of them and came in the front, she was horrified. The bearer who helped her was killed in a fatal accident. When she was staring at him, some voice said"I'll kill anyone who tries to help you" as she turned back most of them left, few of them were reporting to the police and few called the ambulance. She got scared and left the place within a second.

It was evening, she was starving to death and finally she went to Mrs Memana's house. She rang her doorbell and Mrs Memana came. She got irritated by just looking at Eliza and was about to slam the door. Eliza pushed it and was asking for food. Mrs Memana ignored. Eliza took an advantage of it and said that she would stay there if she doesn't give any food. Mrs Memana rushed and gave her a raw sandwich. Eliza was eating it without thinking and was enjoying the food she never liked before. She thanked Mrs Memana and left.

It was night, she thought she should search for her sister tomorrow and she went home. Anyone in her place wouldn't go to that house alone again, but she did. Suddenly her phone rang, she picked it up, her mom called her, her mom was so worried. She said where was Eliza these 4 days, Eliza was confused, she told her mom that the phone wasn't ringing, she actually lied as she was out. Her mom said that their business was successful and would return to them within 7 days. They spoke and had a conversation. She didn't tell anything to her mom about her missing sister.

Again  it was night, she was sick and frustrated due to the everyday non-sense with the woman, she thought. She tied the Bible around her and was chanting her prayers. She slowly closed her eyes and she slept.
