Love Of The Dark

Part 13

" by the way Victoria your problem is not that complicated as much as you are making it . It's a normal thing every one of three person experiences it . And about the so called spirit thing let me tell you those are fake . First of all spirits aren't real and second of all why would spirit be behind you ? Anyway take some rest , don't waste your time on this ghost's theory got it ? " I nodded again . " FINALLY SHE LEFT " I thought to myself while closing the main gate .Closing the door I let out a sigh . Not realizing my temperature was back to its normal state . I sat on the couch , leaning my head backwards , about to close my eyes but the main gate opened revealing my parents in an exhausted state . Yet , there is no need of me getting up and giving them a glass water as the maids do it faster before I blink my eyes again . 

" I have some bad news " 

" what ? " I finally  said made the eye contact . 

" Mr's Han's son is not well , the marriage may be delayed " 

"Oh I see why this is a bad news for you both  " I got up leaving towards my room . I closed the door as I sat in front of the mirror noticing something is off ..... my smile . I just let out a sigh . "Don't really have any idea , whether marrying ' Mr. Han's son ' will lead to light or dark . " I kept my head down closing my eyes . Just then I thought " finally peace " a cold sensation thing went inside me . As I woke up from my dreamland and the clock which showed the time " 9 : 06 " ...." What the f**k ? Since when ? It wasn't even 7 !! Something is wrong with this clock . Where is my phone . ? " I checked my pocket  and slide my hands in to reach to phone . " can someone explain how is the time 9 : 06 ? I remember just resting my head not sleeping .  " Time skips : I had my dinner . I opened my mouth only for eating not asking about the time thing . I don't really discuss matters that aren't important. But why am I thinking this point isn't important? Ignore it there is no point now ! Turning off the lights I went inside my blanket , for some reason Ms. Stella was just occupying my mind . I mean how can she manage to live in that forest all by herself . I didn't even pay a visit to her . Maybe tomorrow? Better sleep now . " Honey , love , sweetheart, what else is left now ? Darling ? " I laughed dramatically but soon remembered others are sleeping . "If I'm sleeping right now means if I woke up in the middle of the night I will in that creepy house again ? " a forceful smile secured my lips "pretty sure my soon to be husband and me will be in separate rooms so hopefully if this thing doesn't end till then it wouldn't cause any trouble to him . what's his name though ? Being Mr. Han's son he would he most probably on any social media platforms. But guess what ? I'm not on any social media platforms hahaha ... maybe that's why I never had or could be friends with anyone . But I think I'm Pretty special, not being on any social media platforms is a achievement in this generation. And I also think I should sleep cause it's already late . That's right I drifted off to sleep fast enough .  Just as I thought I was having a great sleep but something interrupted.... or maybe someone .... someone's touch .... ? I immediately sat up on the bed after feeling someone's hand sliding in side my shirt . I looked around just to make  sure I was in my room , that I was . I examine the room while my eyes roamed here and there for suspicious hint . No there wasn't anything . I got up heading outside when I heard a male voice .... Which wasn't my father's.... Reaching the doorknob , I twisted it that exact moment can be said when my heart stopped beating . Living room ... not of my house but the house in the forest . I looked back at my room then again at the front . Not thinking much I pushed the door as a sign of closing it . Looks like life really wants to play with me right now , yup door seemed liked it was made up of heavy materials. Can only be moved by using machine or something. " GREAT ! " I said sarcastically but the universe didn't take it that way . Something pulled me towards it with all it's force that my eyes got closed itself in reflex . I didn't even know where I was , what kind of position I was , all I knew that time was just that it was dark .... And about my surroundings, I couldn't feel , say or hear anything except few words which echo through my ears "  I know it's great ... darling " ....  Just when I felt some strength in myself , I woke up once again but this time on the floor not the bed . I slowly got up taking a step towards the mirror . Only thing that caught my attention was the dark circles underneath my eyes . Of course how will I sleep with this curse on my head ? And about telling this to someone ... don't ask , I just can't.... Something stops me from telling or uttering a word about this situation. Somehow I managed to tell doctor Derrick about it . Wait it was his engagement today wasn't it ? I'll just message him that I'm not coming . 

Time skips: 8:08 AM 

Eating my breakfast when I heard footsteps coming downstairs, revealing my parents leaving again . " Your senior's engagement is delayed " " which senior ?" I said making a eye contact with my mother . " What's his name ?.. Derrick! He message me he felt sick and is in severe condition, anyway we are leaving ! " they left after saying that . " why did he message my parents but not me ? Or maybe he did I didn't check my phone since the morning " I continued eating  my food . I made up my mind of visiting Ms. Stella today , not only that but the book , the weird ancient book I have a feeling about it . Like maybe I'll find something ? You never know .  " Wait a minute ! Severe sickness all of a sudden ? That's strange , very strange . As long as I know Dr. Derrick he is person who cares about health and by that I mean a lot care . " My mind stricken  today's morning situation... could be because I told him about my situation ? Well in that case what about my therapist ? I also told her something. She is perfectly fine . I finished my breakfast as I took rest , packed my stuff and left for the forest . Didn't wanted to delay anymore as the location is 5 hours plus traffic . Before starting the car I took a deep breath and let it out slowly while re thinking my entire life at the spot . "Am I actually cursed ?" I laughed cursing my mental state .  I drove off the car * 6 hours later *"  FINALLY IM HERE " I said coming out of the car , getting some fresh air . "Because of that silly traffic I got late " * sighs * "well I better remember this place imagine getting stuck again " I started walking forward , all I could hear are the leaves crunching because of my steps . I looked here and there finding something odd . " This doesn't look the same . Seems like it's some beauty is taken away " I continued my walk . I don't remember the exact place where her house was located but pretty sure I was walking in the right direction . Kept on walking now I lost hope . I came all the way till here to meet Ms. Stella and ask about the book . Why my luck is always bad ? I was about the give up but the house finally came in front of my eyes . I made my steps towards it holding on to the bag I brought along with me . Getting closer made me realise the main gate open . Maybe she is gone somewhere ? I walked up to the main gate as I slowly entered . " Hello ? Is anyone there ? " no response. I tried going inside , what if she is working ? I was wrong again the whole house was empty . I was about to leave when my eyes fell on the same book kept on the shelf . I approached it with my heavy steps . I took it in my hands . Had a different feeling this time . I took out a paper from my bag , wrote something on it and kept it on the table . It would have felt like a thief taking something from someone else's home without informing . I existed the house closing the main gate when I looked at my right towards the grave yard . I walked towards it . " still feels strange , having a grave yard in the middle of the forest " about to leave when my breath stopped seeing the view in front of me , the grave of Ms. Stella ...... ' Stella Wanders 1944 - 2014 '  ...... "10 YEARS AGO ? WHO THE HELL DID I MET THAT DAY ? " I turned my head backwards just to see the main gate closed and locked . A sign that also says " not for sale " . I ran towards the door banging on it " HOW ? HOW CAN THIS BE TRUE ? " Now I started remembering things which made sense.

Flashback : 

 ' I don't get it When she took my hand in hers , why was her hand so cold ? I mean I understand some people have cold hands but hers , it was more than cold . And this place is freaking warm ' " CAUSE SHE IS DEAD !" 

'There are some spirits also which come out in light to lead a person who is stuck to find the right path '     " and you were a spirit weren't you ?" I said not realising the tears falling from the past few seconds .
