TROUBLE

"Something is wrong" Tara said, looking at Nyssa.

Nyssa kept getting distracted while discussing, there were only three days left and there was something about Nyssa which seemed off after she came from the shop."Nancy can you come for a minute" Tara said, moving to her bedroom following Nancy behind.
"Is there any prob-" "What happened at the shop that day" Tara inquired.
"What? The shop? What you talking about Tara?" Nancy asked in confusion.
"You both went to get a camera that day, so did something happened there? Nyssa is acting weird from yesterday" she explained."As much as i remember nothing bad happened except me walking that much" Nancy said, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Okay" Tara said, moving to the door of the room. "Also we went to the back mountains, there was a strangely beautiful cave which she liked" Nancy said, remembering the eyes which looked like it hold some stories.
"Cave? There were no caves before". "Yeah but it might have build or found recently" Nancy said shrugging her shoulders, she went near Tara and put her hands on her shoulder "Tara relax it might be her exhaustion of the sudden plans, everything is fine" she said reassuring the younger to not to worry.
They both came out and sat with others.
"Where's Nyssa?" Nancy asked, looking at the room. "Oh she went for some work, she said she'll be back till 5" Selena said.

"Shit it's cold today, i should have brought my jacket with me,what's the time" Nyssa whispers to herself checking her phone it was quarter past three.
"I'll be back soon, there's a lot of time to get dark" and started moving. Nyssa went in a convenience store looking for a hot drink to get herself warmed up. "I'll like to get this" she placed the hot soup can on the counter. "It's 10 CHF ma'am" the vendor replied. She gave the money and went out of the store. "How is it so chilly at this hour"she rubbed her arm and continued walking. She saw the shop from the bus stop, Nyssa threw the can in the dustbin and checked the time it was quarter to five. Her eyes went to the date it was already 21, she took quick steps towards the shop. Looking behind and either sides she slowly went pass the shop. "Where it can be?" She whispered to herself, going through the bushes. She heard some noise behind her, it was faint but it looked like someone was there. She called out "is someone there?" No one answered. Nyssa went a bit close from where the noise came it was the cave from last time, she went near and suddenly a squirrel came running making her flinch at the spot."Damn nyssa why are you getting scared it's mountains ofcourse there's gonna be animals" she calmed herself and moved around. "There it is" she moved towards it when someone spoke. "Why are you here again" Nyssa screamed falling on the ground, she looked behind there she was standing."Tara what are you doing here?" Nyssa asked putting a hand on her heart."Me!? Why are you here?" Tara shouted at her, coming close to her.
"Calm down Tara i just came to get my photo back nothing else" Nyssa got up and cleaned her pants. "Are you serious!? Just for a photo?" Tara looked at her in disbelief. "Yeah, it's not an ordinary photo Tara it's of that cave" she pointed at the cave . "Wait a minute" Nyssa picked that photo and dusted of the soil.
"Look at this" she showed to Tara. Tara saw the photo, looking at it carefully. After sometime Nyssa spoke."It's amazing rig-" "It's normal what's even special about that cave?" Nyssa looked at her in confusion, she showed her the photo again placing it close to her eyes and pointed at the cave "don't you see these eyes they are so inhuman" She said. "What? Which eyes you talking about?" Tara said, looking at Nyssa with a funny face. Nyssa looked at the picture and saw nothing but just a plain cave.
"Wait what. Tara i clicked a picture of that cave yesterday. what is this" she said confused with what's happening.Nyssa pulled Tara to the cave."You see it yourself " Nyssa said. "Nyssa i think you have not slept properly today " Tara came to her and put her hands on her shoulder. "I have and I'm not lying there was these brown eyes carved in this cave in a line and in centre it was a lady carved with green eyes. Every eyes were glitter shiny" she said roaming her hand over the cave. "Tara I'm not lying i swear" Nyssa came to her holding both her hands looking at her with a hope that she believes her. "I know you are not lying Nyssa it might be your delusion" Tara assured her. "Delusion? I'm not sick Tara it was real, Nancy was there with me you can ask her" Nyssa defended herself. "Fine but let's go now it's getting dark"

They both moved out of the cave knowing that there was something that they didn't knew. A spark of light formed in the cave, and there it was the reappearance of the eyes. Who knew what was waiting for them.

"For God sake Tara believe me why would I joke on this topic" Nyssa held Tara's hand stopping her before crossing the road. "If you can see and understand then please shut your mouth I'm trying to cross and you are coming with me enough of your cave story and pleads of believing you" Tara said, pissed off from the constant pleading of Nyssa. Following Tara silently Nyssa whispered to herself "how can I be wrong i definitely saw those eyes, the carvings this has to be a joke is someone trying to fool us? But why would they?" Rechecking the same photograph she couldn't find a trace of a single carvings. " Do you need something? I'm going in to get some groceries for tonight and tomorrow" Tara asked, waiting for her reply. " Um nothing in particular, some snacks would be okay for me" Nyssa replied. As Tara was about to go inside a thought crossed her head "what if she goes again?" Turning back again she took Nyssa's hand and went inside. " What happened?" Nyssa asked, confused by the behaviour. "Nothing i thought you might get bored outside so why not help me." Tara lied, don't want to create any nuisance at the store by telling her the truth. "Thank you for visiting have a good night" The cashier said. Leaving the store they came back home.

"Is everything alright did you guys fight or something?" Jennifer asked, looking at the frown on both the faces. They came in and sat on the couch just when Tara was about to say something Nyssa said "Why did you even came? Did I called you or did I asked you to join me ? And why the fuck you are not believing what I'm saying? Do you think if i was quiet that means I was wrong? " before Tara could reply to her questions Nancy interrupted "Why are you yelling at her ? What happened to you guys?" Not waiting for anyone to reply Tara shouted at Nyssa "What do you think I don't know you were lying yesterday? And about coming there I was fucking worried about you ,you were acting all strange. About not believing you I never said I didn't, I do understand you might have seen things but they were not there when we were there, not even in your photograph. "You know what i-" before Nyssa could say anymore Nancy interrupted "What photograph you are talking about? Is it about the cave ? What things?" "Yes now you tell her what's the actual matter. Didn't we saw eyes carved on the caves weren't they shining?" Nyssa asked, dragging Nancy to the couch. At that moment everyone was present in the living room, silently waiting for Nancy to speak and clear things. "Yeah we did saw the eyes carved in it, but-" "They were shining right?" Nyssa interrupted. "Yeah but what's the matter" Nancy said confusingly.
