The Cursed Girl

Chapter 14

Gwen

Even though I didn't wanted to come here but I didn't have the heart to leave without coming over here.

"Whose house is this?" Tsetan asked me

"This is a place where I had spend my childhood with my father." I said with a smile.

"It is not looking like that it hadn't been open for long time. It looks great."

"My uncle always come once a week over here to clean it so that it looks new." He just nodded.

"But why are we here?" 

"I also don't know the answer. I don't wanted to come over here myself but see I am here. I feel as if this house always make me attract towards it. Even though my sister never looks back at this house and I don't know why?"

"You sister is weird."

"Why is she weird?" He shook his head.

"Don't bother to know about that. It just slipped out of my mouth."

"How could something like this slip out of your mouth?"

"Are you angry?" I shook my head.

"Nah, I am not. This is not the first time I heard that she is weird. Leandro and also Tina had told me that she is weird but I am unable to find how is she weird."

"So this is why you were asking the reason." I nodded.

"Let's not talk about this. Let me bring you somewhere." I said and hold on his wrist and started to drag him away with me. We climbed the stairs and reached to the end of the hallway.

"Where are we going?"

"A place which is my favorite in this whole house." I opened the door and we entered.

"It is a library." 

"Yeah it is a library."

"But I think you don't like to read books."

"This isn't my library. This belongs to me father and uncle. the best place is not here but somewhere here only." He was confused and I smiled and bring him in the centre of the library. "You wait here. I will be here in few moments." I said and he nodded and I went towards the books which were my favorite when I was a kid. There isn't anything which could open any door but there is a photo which I had hide and I just take a look and come back and stood with Tsetan. "Will you please be side?" I asked him and he nodded and get away from the mat and I pulled the mat and there was the round design and I pressed the center and the blocks started to get away.

"What is this?" Tsetan voice was containing so much amazement.  I smiled and looked at him and he was all calm now irrespective to his voice which I heard. I saw the stairs and  I smiled.

"Let's go."  I said and he nodded and he hold me hand and I was confused why he had hold me hand but I didn't said anything.

"There is so much dark over here." Tsetan said and I chuckled and he looked at me confuse and to erase his confusion I put my step on the stair which glowed.

"I guess your father was so much genius when he made this place."

"Yeah but this was after I was five years old. And now you have to get more surprise Mr. Cheshire."

"Well I don't really like surprises but here I don't have the options." I chuckled at his statement and as we went down the lights keep glowing until we reach the end and all the lights of the room opened and I heard the floor being closed.

"If someone comes over here can't he find that the mat is removed."

"Yeah they can but for that they have to guess the mat had been removed."

"What do you mean?"

"The mat changes when someone goes down or comes up and the old is move away by itself."

"I really can't think about this."

"My uncle had told me that my father used  to be an architecture and one of his friend was good with this kind of things. But unfortunately his friend went away somewhere else."

"Who else know about this place?"

"Uncle and me only and now you also. Well... my uncle didn't really have the intention to tell me about this place. This I have found on my own and later I had confronted dad."

"So Avelyn doesn't know this?" I shook my head.

"This is also a safest place right now. If someday I go missing from that house than you can come and find me over here and if not than that means I have met with something."

"I wish nothing happens with you." I smiled.

"Well let me show you something."

"Here you can find my father's journal but I never really read them even if I am curious but uncle had told me that someday these will help me get out of the trouble." 

"What kind of trouble?" He asked and I shrugged.

"They haven't told me about this."  I started to walk away

"Gwen." He said and I stopped in my tracks and I looked back.

"Yes?"

"Don't you think that your trust me so much?"

"So you want that I shouldn't be trusting you?"

"It is not like that but I guess you shouldn't trust everyone like this. You are telling me so many things about you and your favorite place as well. What if I am bad person?"

"If you are bad then I will happily agree to that because if you can't trust on someone than it is very hard for you to live in this Earth. I do agree that I shouldn't be trusting someone upon that easily but...." I trailed off as I didn't know what I should say to him.

"What next?"

"Leave it and let me show you around." I reached to a section and I come across my memory section.

"You see this. My father had dressed me up as fairy for the fancy dress competition at that time my grandma had saved me." Tsetan chuckled.

"Your father maybe doesn't have good experience in raising girl child."

"Hmm....I had show him from the time I have started to know the word living. He used to come home late but yet he used to have time for us. He never used to forget to bring me my candy on every Friday. He never used to complain that our mother is not there. He had never let a day go which was not of fun. Never in my life I had seen hardship. Never my birthday gone in vain. When I used to fall sick then he used to be there with me whole night. You know I used to have claustrophobia and that is why many night he used to sleep with me but it reduced when he went away from me. My sister never let me sleep beside her because she used to say that I am a big girl but I only know how I had took care of myself when I was extremely scared of those darks but soon I get to used to it and now I am not having that phobia."

"You had gone through so much at such a young age."

"Never mind about that and see the picture." I said and I started to walk away when my eyes fell on something and I was about to pick it up. 

"Gwen we should leave now. It is time for us to leave." I nodded and we walk away. I locked the house and we come outside.

"I promise that you will no more face problem." He told me and I looked at him with confuse but that had touched my heart.
