Crypt of Silence

Chapter 9 - Reflection in the Mirror

Seeing the image of that person, he quickly turned around while sitting and looked behind him.

The room was not too dark so the moment he turned around saw part of the long robe of someone who seemed to have passed through the half-open door, a few moments before.

He got up very fast and tried to reach the door with quick steps.

As he reached the entrance, an unknown feeling inside his heart warned him not to follow that person and to stay in the room.

He paused for a second and thought to himself, "Who can it be? Steeve is with his family and he can't be here at this time ... If anyone enters the house with the intention of stealing, I have to inform the police."

He came out of the room and into the corridor which in addition to his own room included the front door of another room.

This corridor led to a small hall where the duplex stairs were located on the other side of it.

When he turned to go to the hall, he saw the shadow of a person who had passed through the curvature of the end of the corridor.

His heart beats had become faster, he had a strange feel of anxiety, There was cold sweat on his forehead.

The atmosphere in the house seemed colder than usual, causing him to tremble.

At that moment, he heard the sound of someone's calm, steady footsteps going down the stairs. He hurried to the small hall in order to see him.

He reached the stairs panting ... No one was there.

The house was not too dark. The moonlight shone through the long, large windows of the main hall, but Aditya did not have a good view.

He narrowed his eyes and frowned, trying to monitor the downstairs as much as possible while standing on the duplex stairs.

The entrance to the kitchen was under the duplex staircase, so if someone was standing on the stairs or on the second floor, he or she couldn't see the inside of the kitchen.

That night some pieces of the clouds covered the sky ... With the wind blowing the clouds parted for a moment, went away from the front of the moon and the moonlight shone through the kitchen windows.

Right at that moment, what caught Aditya's attention was the long shadow of a person standing in the kitchen ... the shadow had reached the middle of the living room.

By seeing it ... Aditya became sure someone was inside the house.

He paused for a moment, hesitating to go down, he thought it would be better to call the police, but he realized that his phone was left in the bedroom.

He knew it would take him a long time to get back to the room to get his phone, but he had no other choice.

He was thinking of going back to the room or going forward to see who he was when heard the sound of the key turning and the lock opening of the entrance door from the end of the main hall.

He focused on the door with a confused and worried look on his face.

The door opened slowly, Vijay and Avantika entered trying their best not to make a sound.

At that moment, Aditya turned his gaze from the main door to where the shadow of the unknown person was and saw that it had slowly disappeared.

He stared at the place where the shadow had been until a few moments ago, with a surprised face and open mouth while frowning.

"Adi ... Dear you are here? You did not sleep?" Avantika said as she came forward with a kind smile.

"Son ... Did we wake you up?" Vijay asked with a regretful look.
