As soon as I got under the covers , I fell asleep, I heard some faint voice as i removed myself from the slumber the voice got louder , it was 2 in the morning , I pushed myself out of the bed and walked out of the room , the corridor was empty and dark , the voice was heard again , I looked towards the direction the voice came from , walked down from the stairs , it was dark outside , i heard the voice again , it was from behind the stairs . I walked towards it , there was a door locked but i thought it could be open as i touched the handle , i felt someone caught my shoulder , I turned around in alarm and my eyes went wide as i saw Arjun standing there . ' What are you doing here at this time of the night' he asked. I looked at his face scared ' I came down to drink water ? I said but I could feel it more like a question . He raised an eyebrow at me . ' Yeah I'm going to my bedroom uhh , goodnight ' i said and ran towards my room . I got under the covers as recalled his face , he's scary .
Next morning I woke up at 9 and walked down the stairs to dining area . Mr. Maheshwari was sitting at the head of the table . He looked at me and smiled and said ' As sanskar is not here , the kids are given holiday so you too have three days off . Have your breakfast before it gets cold '. Saying this he left to somewhere I don't know. After having my breakfast , I decided to call Lucky but his phone is switched off . I went to the library which was huge , so many books to read . I sat down with a book which caught my attention . I started to read it. I did not pay attention to time which flew away and it was 6 in the evening. I walked down stairs and found no one . I walked in the kitchen , i searched for some food but found nothing but bread and butter . I quickly spread the butter on the bread and started to eat it . As i finished eating I walked towards my bedroom but one thing came to my mind that there is no sound of anyone else being in the house which scared me out . I don't have anyone's number to call nor can I see any maid . I went down to the living area and sat down to watch a movie. I turned off the TV and looked at the clock , it was 10 pm already . I went to kitchen and made some food. After having my dinner i went to my room to sleep .
I woke up again it was 2 am. I heard the noise again . I walked down the stairs and went behind it . I gasped the door was open , I slowly pushed it open and walked inside , there was nothing but a painting of a wolf . I don't know why I was drawn to it . As soon as I touched it , the painting fell and broke into pieces . I was scared , i started to pick up the broken glasses and one cut my hand , the blood started to flow out and fell on the painting . I watched as the blood started to disappear in the paint . I panicked , I couldn't understand what was happening. Soon blue smoke started to fill in the room . I ran towards the door and tried to open it. I kept pulling the door but it won't work. I felt someone watching me , I turned around and what i saw that my world spinning , dark spots started to appear and I fell into darkness.

I felt someone shaking me . I opened my eyes and saw Mr. Maheshwari standing and confusion clearly written in his eyes. ' Why are you sleeping on the couch? He asked . ' Huh! I was watching movie i guess ,' I said looking around. I was in living room . ' I guess I will go to my room' i said hesitantly. He nodded and left . I walked towards the room and laid down on the bed . Was it all dream i wondered.
