DARK HOUSE

"Knock-knock" Virat knocked the door. "Who are you?", a deep voice came from behind the door. Virat replied with a bit shaky tone " I..I'm V-Virat...I'm new hear s-so I ca-ame here for he-elp". The big door opened and Virat went inside with trembling legs. As soon as he entered, the door slammed. Bats flew away from the house, a spooky laugh could be heard. Virat became scared and could hear a person saying "Welcome to THE DARK HOUSE....!". Twelve years later, Mr. Verma, with his wife and daughter, were coming from London after spending a relaxing vacation. They reached the airport, sat in a taxi and were off to there house. On the way, to there home, they passed by a house which captivated Mr.Verma's cute, 14 years old daughter, Tanni. " Papa...I wanna go there" Tanni asked her father. As soon as Mr.Verma saw the house, he took his daughter in his lap, put her head on his chest and patted her head and was holding her like he will lost her then and there only. With a terrifying look he told her daughter,"My princess don't look at those silly kind of things, just promise me that you will never ever put a feet in that house". Tanni replied, "Ok Papa! but why are you scared of that house?". Her father replied, "You just mind your own business, but one thing I will tell you that the house is not only a house, it's THE DARK HOUSE". In the whole ride she was in his father's lap. Finally they reached there home and freshen up and took their dinner and went off to sleep. At midnight, suddenly Tanni's sleep got interrupted with a cold wind. She rubbed her eyes and looked here and there and saw that the window of their bedroom was open. She was kind of a brave girl so she took her steps towards the window ans was about to close the window but she noticed something. She saw that a man, wearing a black coat was going towards the way where only the Dark House is located. She found it suspicious and she was a kind of girl who has a keen interest in investigating such things. She closed the window and lay down between her Mom and Papa, but for the next 15 mins she kept thinking of the house and the Man. Many questions were roaming inside her head,"Who was the Man?Why he was going to the Dark House?What is inside the house?..etc". Thinking about those things she fell asleep. -to be continued
