A deadly silence was spreading all around in that chilling dark night before a shrill cry echoed in the mist somewhere far from where a group of juveniles and youths was playing their sleepover game 'Sardine' in an abandoned place next to their house.

['Sardine'~ Is a game based on hide-and-seek, in which one child hides and the other children, as they find the hider, join him or her in the hiding place until just one child remains. The game is over once everyone is cramped in one place.]

Splashh.h..hhhh..!!!!!

"Oh crap ! what did you do ?" One whispered a little loud.

"It's not my fault. She shoved me." Another protected himself, making sure his voice wasn't loud enough to be heard by someone else.

"Why did you hit me ?" The chunky girl furrowed whispering to the boy next to her.

"No, I didn't hit you. She is the one who screamed and stumbled."

"Don't lie ! There wasn't any scream here!!" The chunky girl poked her forefinger in his chest.

"Shhhhh..h.h ..!! Speak in a low voice." Someone shushed them.

"Yeah, no scream was heard but I saw her stumbling." The one among rest three said, to which a few others agreed.

"I also heard that scream."

"Yeah, me too."

Some others admitted in whispering voice. Their voices so low that no one other than them present there, could hear.

"But, I didn't." One said.

"That's what I'm saying, I definitely stumbled but that scream ? I didn't, I was quiet all the time, neither I heard any. " The curly girl wearing two side braids stated making no louder noise.
