Somewhere in a Girl's Hostel, few girls were talking, texting on the phone, narrating horror stories to each other and some was out for a night out.
It was just a ordinary night until something happened. Priya wanted to pee so she step out of the dorm, closing its door behind her. She noticed that whole corridor was dark, the only light source was a bulb which was shining at the end of corridor. All rooms in a row were locked in the corridor because seniors were out for a bunk.
Priya turn to bathroom corridor and noticed that it was also dark but as she walks further there was light peeking through half closed gate of the last bathroom on her right side. The whole area was silent so she was able to hear water dripping through the tap on her left side as they crush into wash basin. Outside the window, moonlight illuminating the shiny surface of rustling leaves in a breezy night.
Priya wasn't afraid of dark so she didn't noticed the hawk shadow in the corner and reached to the gate of washroom which was situated opposite to illuminated bathroom.
But her courage left at the moment when she inspect darkness filled aura of that place. A shiver of fear ran through her whole body and wind noises through window weren't helping at all.
That place suddenly started creeping her out and beads of sweat starts forming on her forehead so she turn back without using washroom, eager to reach her dorm.
She took few steps and she felt something, something that can be called a presence, but presence of whom?
Priya didn't turn back and hastened her speed to get out of the bathroom area as fast as possible.
But there was a horrific feeling of someone following her, someone walking on the exact footmarks that she left.
In her entire life she didn't feel this type of terror. Her heart was ready to come out from her ribcage along with the sweat.
She wanted to look back, to see something that can haunt her entire life, but she was too afraid of consequences.
She sprinted from the bathroom corridor, suppressing her urge to look back. She reached to the door but before she open it, her friend Mina opened the door suddenly.
"Who was behind your back?" Mina asked curiously looking past priya, for someone.
Priya shivered at this as cold breeze from the iron net windows flows through the corridor.
"No one" she said and pulled Mina inside the dorm and closed the door without looking back.
Now she often thinks about what could have happened if she turn around that night.
