The Devil's Promise

The Devils Promise Episode 2

Episode 2

Next morning everything was normal in college. The sun was shining, girls were laughing in the canteen, classes were going on. But for Mehru, nothing was normal.

Her heart was heavy. She was sitting in the canteen with her friends, but her mind was not there. Her mind was still stuck in last night. In that dark library. In Ariz's eyes.

Shayan came and sat in front of her. He was watching her since morning.

Shayan: What happened Mehru? You are quiet since morning. Are you okay?

Mehru tried to smile.

Mehru: Nothing Shayan, I am just a little tired.

Shayan: Is this about that librarian? Ariz?

Mehru got scared. She quickly changed the topic.

Mehru: No, nothing like that. I have to go home, I have some work.

She took her bag and went home. But the whole day, she could only think about one thing. Why did Ariz say "My punishment was death"?

At 11:45 PM.

The whole college was closed. The watchman was sleeping. Mehru slowly opened the back door of the library and went inside. The library was dark. Only the moonlight was coming from the window.

She walked to the last shelf. The same old black book was there. The book from which she felt strange smell last night. She picked up the book and opened it. The pages were black.

Suddenly, the main door opened with a loud sound "thak".

Ariz came inside very fast. He was breathing heavily. It seemed like he already knew Mehru was inside.

Ariz: You? Again? I told you not to come here at night.

Mehru got scared but she did not move.

Mehru: You also meet here only at this time. You also live here at night?

Ariz did not answer. He looked at the door and closed it. Then he smiled a little and sat on the chair in front of Mehru. Both were alone in the dark library.

Mehru: Yesterday you said someone punished you. What was your punishment? Please tell me.

Ariz's face became very serious. His eyes became dark.

Ariz: My punishment was death, Mehru.

Mehru: What do you mean? Death? Who gave you death punishment?

Ariz: The people of my Jahan.

Just then, a book fell from the shelf with a very loud sound. Both got scared.

Ariz ran and picked up that book. And what Mehru saw, her breath stopped.

Blood was coming out from the pages of that book. Fresh red blood was falling on the floor. And black smoke was coming out from the book. The whole library started smelling strange.

Mehru: Ariz! What is this? Blood?!

Ariz: This is not a normal book. This is a cursed book. This is a book of Jinns. This book is from my Jahan. Don't touch it!

He put his hand on the book to stop it. And at the same moment, something very scary happened.

His coat fell down. And from both his arms, iron chains came out. Big black chains were tied to his arms. Blood drops were falling from his arms to the floor. His eyes became fully black.

Mehru started crying.

At the same time, Shayan was also worried for Mehru. He thought Mehru is in danger. He also came to the library to find her. He hid behind the door and saw everything.

He saw Ariz with chains in his arms. He saw black smoke coming out from the books. He saw all the books flying in the air from the shelves.

Shayan's heart started beating very fast. He was very scared. He could not understand what was happening.

Mehru held Ariz's hand tightly. Her hands were shaking.

Mehru said with tears, "Who are you, Ariz? Please tell me the truth. From which Jahan did you come? Are you a Jinn?"

Ariz looked at her with pain in his eyes. His chains were making a loud sound.

Ariz said, "If I tell you the truth Mehru, you will never be able to go back to your world. Do you still want to know?"

The black smoke covered the whole library.
