Me and Pam come to the north side of the complex. This particular part of the holiday home is very different from the rest . The area is darker , as the lights are not that powerful and also less in number. We have to depend on our LED torches to search for some clue . There are few big trees and some small flower plants cover the area and dry leaves making funny sounds at the pressure of our shoes.It seems that no one comes here and even the caretaker doesn't pay any attention to this part . An eerie silence surrounds the atmosphere as both of  us are not talking to each other. Actually the recent events make us so confused that we seriously don't know what to do. Finally Pam speaks,

"What do you think?"

"What do I think? What's it "

"Do you think Bedo is right? All those things are actually going on because someone doesn't want us here or it's a ghost or a bunch of ghosts? "

"I think one ghost is enough if there is really something called ghost. Actually I myself is very much confused about that. I have told Bedo and the rest that the cottage is haunted only to refrain them from doing something rash, but I'm not sure if I am right. "

Pam remains silent for some time then says, " Bedo is always so reckless, we must not leave her alone. "

"I think we should move on to some other hotel. "

Pam looks up surprisingly at me.

"I think that is better and we should tell others. "

But Pam immediately rejects my advice, " No, absolutely not!! "

"Why not?? "

"Because your father have spent a lot of money to contact the cottages for us to enjoy our holidays. Do you understand how expensive those are? And if we leave now they are not going to return the money to your father, and without any logical proof we can't take such big decision. "

" But Pam, what is more important than money is now if something bad happens to any of us, what are we going to do??? "

"And what about your father and any of our guardians, how do we explain them? Do you think they are just gonna believe us if we tell them the place is haunted ,so we move ---"

Pam's words struck at her mouth as we hear a blood cuddling scream.

"It's Bedo!!!! " I shout out, and Pam already starts running to the direction. I am running behind Pam. Suddenly my leg struck by a stone or something hard, I loose my balance and fall down on the hard ground. My head hurts so much but I can't call Pam, because she is already out of my sight. I manage to get up on my foot, but as I just start to move,

        C R A CK!!!!

"Oh! no!!!!! "

To my horror, I see a hard big branch of  the tree falls on me. I loose my balance again and this time I feel an unbearable pain throughout my body. Before  everything becomes dark in front of my eyes, I only hear a sound of soft footsteps coming towards me.

I wake up with a pain in my head. My whole body aches as I try to move my limbs. Where am I? Where are my friends? A smell of rotten meat surrounds the place. Suddenly I remember I have my phone with me , and if it's still not broken, I touch the pocket of my jeans, yeah! it's still with me. Turning the flash light on, I find myself in a old, dusty room . It seems one of the cottage rooms, but which one? At my far left, there is an old iron bed, with rugged , dirty cover. Beside the bed, a mirror is hanging from the wall. The glass is craked from top to bottom. The room has only two windows, closed with nets. At my right side there is nothing but only a small table with a broken chair.
How come I end up here? I stand up on my foot, I have to get out of this room.
Before proceed toward the door I look at the room carefully. And then, I move the cellphone to upward and
 
What!!!! I froze at my place in , my blood chills as I find with extreme horrors,   Bedotroyee's unconscious body is hanging from the ceiling!!
