Into The Moonlight

2

After some time Percy slept.  Then got up as the carriage had halted.  " What time it is " she asked. Darcy replied " its 11 30. " So why have we halted here.  Then.  " 

Their father came and opened the carriage door. " Its an inn here.  Let's rest and eat something there " he said.

" It looks so spooky and isolated. And kind of dilapidated too  Do you think its a good idea, to halt here " Percy asked. " I am not hungry lets just finish with the journey " Darcy said.  " But there is no inn around for a, mile now so lets eat something " their father said. 

Darcy said " Let's go inside and see " and they all went inside. A woman was, at the door. All her teeth were crooked and she had a, sinister smile on her lips." She looks sinister to me " Darcy said to Percy. 

Slowly they entered the inn.  Darcy was still feeling sleepy so she ordered coffee and her father  and sister and the maid asked for juice. 

There was a curtain in the inn which separated the dining room from the kitchen.

After few minutes that same woman came with their order trays.  As soon as she came Percy saw that there was, a patch of blood on her apron. " Whats that" she asked her.  " Its nothing as while cutting meat that spot came " she told and went.

Percy was not convinced. Later afer sometime she saw that the woman was watching them from thr curtains. As her shadow could be seen.

So Percy told, this, to her sister and later, when her shadow was not there both of them went to look inside the kitchen. And they saw that the woman was holding a big butcher knife and was laughing.

" This womans, a murderer lets get out of here fast. I knew it when i saw her apron " Percy said.  So both of them informed their father,  maid and the horseman and all of them started running away from there outside.

" Fast get inside the carriage " their father said. As soon as, they were in the woman came bursting outside the door and ran after their carriage for sometime.

Darcy said " you were right when you said that there was something fishy here. " And they all heaved a, sigh of relief.
