The Mystery [UNDER MAJOR EDITING]

21

KAIRA POV

We reached to my mansion. Today we are going to end this finally. We are also going to free those innocent souls. Let's hope that things work, the way we thought.

As we enter the mansion, I saw my mother sitting on a sofa and reading the magazine. She looked at us and said,

"Kaira, you came back so early from office and Neil, you are also here. What a suprise?"

Neil greeted her back. She looked suspiciously at Professor Saxena. I have to think twice and utter every word carefully as mom is possessed and you might not know what she might do next. She lookes fine and no one can say that she's being possessed.

"Mom, Neil and I are doing project together and this is Mr. Saxena. He is also working for this project. Neil has given half day for all employees and this project is important for us, so I thought to do the remaining work at my home." I lied. She looks convinced.

"Mom, where is dad?" I asked realizing his absence.

"Viren went to meet one of his friend. He told me that he won't be there for today's lunch." Mom said.

"Okay Mom, we are going to my room." I said and signalled Neil and Professor Saxena to follow me. I marched towards the stairs to go to the locked room, which was fortunately on the same floor of my room.

"So now, you brought Professor Saxena to help you." A voice came and we all three turned to see the source of it. My mom with the devilish smile was staring at us.

The thing happened for which I was scared of. Oh God, save me.
We three looked at each other.

"I am not going to let you do what you are planning for." Mom came forward and holds my right hand tightly. Her nails were piercing my skin.

"Ouch, it hurts." I cried miserably.

Neil and Professor Saxena tried to pull mom back and finally succeeded. Blood starting oozing out of my hand.

"Kaira, get a rope fast." Professor Saxena said.

"But why??" I questioned.

"I told you Professor, stay away from the mansion." Mom shouted.

"Just go and get what I said, Kaira." Professor Saxena yelled.

I ran towards kitchen to get a rope. I searched every drawer and found in one. I came back and saw that Neil and Professor Saxena made my mom to sit on sofa.

"Kaira, now tie this rope around your mom." Professor Saxena commanded and I tied her with rope. It hurts a lot to see your mother in such situation, but what can I do?

After tying my mom, Professor Saxena said, "We need to hurry and search the dead body first. Any one of us need to stay here to keep a watch on Mrs. Mehra."

"You will not be successful." My mom said loudly.

"You both go to locked room. Let me stay here." Professor Saxena said. We both nodded.

We were about to go, when we saw Karan coming down from staircase, probably from his room. We all three stood infront of mom, literally trying to hide her from Karan.

He looked at Neil and said angrily.
"What is he doing here?"

His eyes then falled on Professor Saxena.
"And who is he?" He asked referring to Professor Saxena.

"Karan, this is Professor Saxena and he is here..." I was interrupted by mom behind us who cried.
"Save me Karan, look what they had done to me."

We three turned a bit, behind to us to see my mom who was smirking. It's her evil plan.

Karan came forward and saw mom. He ran towards mom and was trying to free my mom, when Professor Saxena holds him.

"You are not doing a right thing, Mr. Mehra." Professor Saxena said.

"Who are you to tell me that?" Karan shouted and pushed Professor Saxena who was holding him all this while.

"Karan, listen to us. We know what we are doing." I said.

"Kaira, I know you are influenced by some people...." Karan glared at Neil and continued, ".....but you can't do this to our mom."

"Karan, don't listen to them. Please get me free from this rope." Mom cried.

Karan moved towards mom, when I hold his right arm and said, "Karan, don't listen to her. She is not our mom at this instant. She is being possessed."

Karan looked at me and gave me 'are you serious' look.

"Karan, Kaira is telling the truth. Your mom is being possessed. We need to get her free from all this." Neil explained, but Karan doesn't look convinced.

"Mr. Mehra, just trust us for once. Let us finish our work first and I promise you that I'll free your mother." Professor Saxena said.

"Karan, please for my sake." I said and holded his both hands into mine.

"Don't listen to them, Karan." Mom said in a pleading tone.

I and Karan looked at mom.
"Okay, only for your sake." Karan whispered.
