In the mean while Diana came in full of anger and hold Daisy’s wrist firmly and ask her loudly “you stole and keep my assignment in your bag “hmmmm” you have to pay for it” suddenly she cried with pain and left her hand free as it is a burning coal. Diana cry for help. OH! My hand is burning. Daisy and Daniela was looking her shocked that what happened to her and what daisy has done which burn her hand. Anyhow Diana run away.

She start to rub her wrist but mark was fixed it was burnt mark which was fix in the skin. This mark again recall her the memories of that cave. Before two days with her friend she was enjoying her trip to cave valley. While taking her selfie daisy left her friends and start taking selfie. Suddenly she felt something under her feet she checked her shoes bur there was nothing. There was something pinching under her feet. She again check the shoes but shoes were clean then she tap her hand on the earth. There, she felt something scaly she start scratching that place and she amazed to see that was a screw wrapped with a red thread in a special pattern. She pull the thread. It was deeply engraved in the surface. At least she pulled complete thread and there was a key attached to its end. It was a strange old fashioned rusted key.  Just now she was watching she heard a voice. The voice was so fascinating that she masmarisingly follow that voice and she found herself in a cave when the spell of voice break. There was a door in front of her at the end of the cave. Door was locked having the same design of key which she found. Daisy realize that this key is actually belongs to this door lock. I should open the lock there would be some treasure or historical items. she thought. But in the meanwhile she hear some voices from her back to not open the door. She comeback into her senses when she hear the horn of car and driver was calling her. Miss Daisy we reached. She picked up her bag and enter in home where Mrs Shaina was waiting her anxiously. Hi mom how do you do.          I am good. Mom replied. Mrs Shaina asked her to change and come on the table for lunch. After ten min daisy and Mrs Shaina was on the table for lunch. Both were a little bit worried but not showing it to one another. How was your day today? Mrs Shaina break the silence. Daisy told the whole day story including the Diana’s trick playing but didn’t tell about key mark.         Mrs .Shaina regret on Diana’s behavior and slightly change the topic and ask about the key. Daisy do you have seen any old fashioned key in the home? Daisy become worried and hesitantly asked what, which key? No, I haven’t. Mrs Diana said actually there was an old designed key which was belong to your father. Mrs Shaina through the leaf to stir up the matter but Daisy still refuses. OK mom I am very tired I want to do rest for a while. I am going into my room. Daisy said and rush toward her room.  She open her laptop and start searching about the key.         Diana comes to meet Aryan in evening at his home and cry badly before him and blames Daisy for being a witch and show her burnt hand with a strange burn mark which looks like key. Aryan scold her and warn her that he will not hear a single word against her. Aryan go to Daisy’s home to know the truth. He greet Mrs Shaina and ask for Daisy. Mrs Shaina pointing toward Daisy’s room with a smile. She likes Aryan very much and also knows about Daisy’s feeling. He slightly knock the door and enter in the room where daisy was busy in the lap top.          Oh what a pleasant surprise Aryan. Daisy excitingly said to him. Aryan told her about Diana’s act and ask daisy to tell him true.          I believe in you my love but I am also very worried about burnt hand of Diana, how it could be possible. Aryan hold her hand with love while asking. Daisy told him about the story of trip and show him the key mark on her hand. OH I have seen this mark in my dad’s library. There is a full book on this key. OK I will borrow that book tomorrow from dad. Daisy hug her tightly and this is the thing which Aryan can’t live without.          Daisy was very happy that Aryan is here to help her. She was just wearing her night dress when she hear the same voice, why do you open the door??? Daisy afraid and looked around but found nobody there she took it as her illusion. At midnight while sleeping she feel something scaly in her feet suddenly she hear a very loud voice why do you open the door!! Meanwhile she heard a very creepy sound. Open the door, complete your work which you have started. She open her eyes and check the time. It was just a dream but she was too much afraid of that sounds.          Next morning she told Aryan about these sounds. Aryan make her comfort and assure her he is with her in any situation. Aryan’s love increases. They both go to library and ask from librarian about key mark book. Librarian said actually three days before it disappears. We are also very worried, we checked all CCTV camera recordings and individual checking but we didn’t get any clue. My mom said that was a cursed book and now someone has open the door, so book has gone to its right place. Librarian whisper in Aryan’s ear.  This thing make worried to both of them. They go to Aryan home and search that key history on internet and this thing amazed them the same key was found in Egypt before decades and it was assumed that key was belongs to the era of pharaoh. Let me show this key to dad because he knew a lot about history, Aryan said. Ok let’s talk to dad. They come down stair where his father was reading a book in TV launch. Good evening uncle, daisy said. Good evening, uncle replied and pointing toward chair to sit. Dad I want to discuss something with you, hope you will guide us and Aryan told each and every bit of story to his dad. Mr John check the burnt key mark on daisy’s hand and become shocked. He left her hand and very harshly refuse to know anything about this mark. In very stern tone he asked Aryan to come his room. Aryan come to his dad’s room and asked about his rude behavior in front of daisy. Mr .john put his hand on his shoulder and start telling Aryan about that key mark. That mark us not a good sign. Daisy is badly stuck now. She has opened the door of destruction not for herself but for all humanity. There are some evil spirits are following her they may harm her. He warn him to stay away from her. Dad let me know the solution. Every problem has a solution. Aryan argued. Yes there is a solution but it is life threatening. She has to go through that door now because the solution is behind the door. I don’t know any more about it but one thing which i learn from history books is that thus door was closed from centuries but eight years ago some evil forces open this door. At that time daisy’s father along with some priests closed this door after that daisy’s father was misplaced and no one found them anywhere in this world.   Its mean daisy’s father is alive?? Aryan asked in surprise.   Not so sure, Mr John. Dad let me help her .after all her father was your good friend. OK son you help her but remember one thing, don’t cross that door let her go alone.          I will think about it dad. Aryan said and go outside.          Mr John knows very well that his son will help daisy beyond every limit because he was aware of this feelings for daisy.         It was the 1:30 am at the night when daisy’s eyes opened with a sound. It was the same sound was following her. One was very humble and known voice strike to her ears to don’t open the door and at the same time she heard a horrible voice to open the door. She afraid by this and rushed toward her mom’s room. When she stop to breathe in front of her mom’s room she hear the whisper from inside. She stop and looked from the key hole but there was no one in the room and her mom was talking to herself. Then she knock the door and enter in her mom’s room to ask why she was talking to herself. Her mom told her that after the death of her father she used to talk to herself to overcome his memories she hug her mother and come back to her room without telling anything to her mother about key. Early in the morning Aryan come to meet daisy. Daisy told him about last night incident. Aryan comforted her and told the whole information which he get from his dad. Daisy was shocked and amazed to know about her father. Let me tell to mom that dad is alive. NO daisy now not, Aryan stop her to doing so now. But why, she asked If your mom come to know the truth she will not allow you to open that mysterious door. We will surprize her after bringing your dad alive. He suggested. Ok now get ready to go valley of cave. DO you remember that cave? Aryan asked. No I don’t but all of a sudden she feel a burning sensation in her wrist. She looked at her wrist, the half key mark was burning like a sparkle. Aryan put her finger on that sparkle but it was burning like a coal. He quickly removed his hand away. Then both decided to check right side first as they start to walk toward south the key start to burn less. They search all caves but there was no door in any cave. They start to go toward east at sudden key start to burn fast. I think there is a clue in burning of this key mark. Aryan said.          Burning of key shows we are going into right direction. They keep started to going toward east. In front of a cave the burning sensation become high so they enter in that cave. That cave was not very big one it was just like a small hood. After getting inside the key mark was started burning completely and both of them at once saw the closed door with unlocked lock pad. It was an old fashioned hanging lock pad. Am feeling afraid let’s go back. Daisy said but Aryan refused to do so and recall her about her father?  Aryan hold her hands firmly and kissed on her fore head and said, don’t worry I am with you. As long as I am alive I will take care of you my love. This gave her some encouragement. Aryan go ahead and try to open the door but he fell back with a jerk.  . Daisy came running and grabbed him and asked what happened to you. He said door is too hot like a burning coal I can’t even touch it. Daisy’s wrist start to burn more and more and it was the sign to open the door as soon as possible otherwise Daisy’s wrist will burn. She said, I think it’s only me who can open the door because key mark is in my hand. She go ahead and fearfully touch the door it was not hot. She removed the key pad and pushed the door back. There was a huge sea of white light and their eyes where glazed over with the light. At the same time some unknown force pulled them inside and the door closed. To be continue………….
