I have never been to Matt's place before. We were never quite that strong a friend and also Lisa was dating him so he was a big NO-NO for me. He stopped the vehicle in the drive way. This house resembled every other house in his lane. Slanting red roof with small balconies in the first floor. A large driveway and attached garage. The house was painted in pale and bright red.
"Come" he asked me leaving the car. I hopped out fron my seat and walked past him.
The insides were dark and gloomy and as soon as I entered, I stared feeling edgy. I couldn't make out much even though outside, the sun hadn't even set. It was early evening. Matt switched on the lights blinding me. I batted my lids to adjust with the sudden stimulus. Now I can see his entire living area. A broad black couch rested on the extreme opposite of where I was standing, behind which were long black coral curtain. The place had a wierd vibe. Everything was draped in black.
"Let me see if she is awake."
"Okay"
I sat on the sofa which was unsurprisingly covered in black sofa colour with coral shaped flower embroidery. I was looking around when I heard a sharp shriek coming from inside, where Matt went. I ran inside sensing some danger only to stop at the threshold of a room because I heard some thing.
"who have you brought home? I can feel the danger lurking out of that being you brought." A raspy voice said
"G, calm down. She is my friend and don't you behave with her like you did with Lisa."
"No, you fool. Throw her out at once. She is the peril. I cannot recognise it right now but yes there is some thing, some thing very dark and fatal. Throw her out at once Matt."
"G, have you lost your mind? You haven't talked like this in ages. What has happened to you and please keep your volume low. She is in the drawing room." Matt whispered.
"Throw her out at once Matt. I have been feeling this erriness for more than a week and it is strongest now."
"Fine, but we will talk about this afterwards...." it was my cue to rush back to the drawing room.
I carefully seated myself the way I was before. Matt entered soon smiling. As soon as he saw me, his hands reached the back of his neck and he rubbed their, clearly a sign of inconvenience.
" Aaaaaaan..she isn't well right now. Maybe next time if that's OK?"
"Yeah, that's fine." I fake smiled at him.
"I'll just leave then. Bye" I said standing up and pointing towards the main gate.
"Oh no no. You have this weird habit of wandering towards the town graveyard. I will drop you home.

A/N : So I took one hell of a time toh return. It's not that I didn't try to write. There are multiple cases when I started writing but I just couldn't write much.
It's take a lot to pen down when not in momentum. I guess I lost that somewhere when I stopped writing.
I will not spam with long A/N.
