Terror of Tarjarna Top

This story is dedicated to rathiaishwarya who wanted a story revolving around high school students going out, two of them becoming a couple, and all of them taken by horror when they meet something that they were unprepared for...

Get ready for true horror to rise and sit tight... for the unexpected are the simple things we don't consider possible of happening...   

After finishing their national final exams, a group of five friends decided to plan a trip across India, specifically crossing into uncharted territories of the Mahabala forest, in the outskirts of Andra Pradesh. Within the forest, there are unknown sightings of mythical creatures and even paranormal activities that took place on it's a most infamous hilltop, Tarjarna Top.

No one has been able to capture evidence regarding the abnormal, however, all travelers came back, recounting their experience to therapists and some who wanted their practice to be known, spilled the beans out into the press.

After much painstaking research from teams of psychologists, travelers, scientists, and even the military, only one-fifth were able to recount their strange experiences on Tarjarna Top.

However, the majority ruled out that they were all hysterical and had them suspended from their jobs for a week. Even after suspension, some spoke out about their experiences to the press, which tore up peace in India about how the government is conspiring new projects, including suspicions of aliens on Tarjarna Top.

Those who spoke out did receive backlash from their employers and were eventually dismissed.

Despite all the controversy that revolved around Tarjarna Top, the Indian government deemed it a safe place to go through, and to this day, people still travel to see the spectacle. Some were disappointed when they found nothing, while others were happy that they went once and came out alive at the end of it.

Either way, these five friends were planning on going there with the mindset that nothing will stop them. Even when their families and other people said no, even when they heard what happened on the news, even when they were anxious about it... they still wanted to head there. 

As if they were enticed by the sensation and negative press... they all just went to find trouble.

"Hey, Zoey! Come quickly! We're about to get inside the van!" Leah shouted while sitting inside the car with Ken, Noah, and Zyan.

"I'm coming!" Zoey shouts back as she's dragging her luggage outside.

Zoey tugs at her luggage, rushing her way out the door, while Zyan and Noah rush out of the car, competing to see who helps her first. Eventually, Zyan beats Noah to it and places Zoey's luggage inside the trunk of the van, while Noah slowly backs off.

"Just look at them," Leah sighs, while Ken looks at her seductively.

She looks back at him and he rests his eyes on her lips. Leah's breath hitches, expecting for him to do something to her at that moment...

To only be disappointed that he goes around her to pull her seatbelt down and tucked her in, "Safety first," he points out to her.

"Tsh..." Leah ticked, but Ken just laughs at her moody face.

"Why did you pack so much, when we're only going to be there for three days?" Zyan questioned Zoey.

"Because I want to," Zoey answers and Zyan just leave her be, knowing that if he said anything more logically reprehensive, he wouldn't hear the end of Zoey.
