Rashu was sleeping while read a book on sofa at hall, she heard the slamming of windows
There must have several knocks on the door before she opened her eyes They were repeated at intervals The watchman wouldn't dare do otherwise He knows

She surveyed the hall At her front Nidhi on relaxes chair, Neha, and Pooja on the floor and Salini on another sofa were sleeping

Another knock The sound slashed down a chunk of the massive numbness that had overpowered her memory She, as yet, couldn't recollect exactly when they had collapsed into a dead sleep, although she could recollect all that had preceded - their dancing around a bonfire, eating delicious and drinking

The cool day, in the evening

Their car was trudging through miles of bushes and scattered rocks to reach this deserted bungalow inside the jungle An injured insects got crushed under a wheel Salini gave a shriek, her face all sweat with pity..

You are soaked in sweat, baby," Nidhi commented indulgently
"A bit humid in the atmosphere," Her words sounded innocent
Rashu! why your face looks yellow? vampire suck your blood" Salini sneered
Shut up, she has c.a.n.c... Neha stopped by Rashu sign
You silly, little monster! Protested Rashu, waging her handkerchief on her face and her face in the handkerchief

The conversation continued on between them till the car came to a turn showing a semi - circular tract to their left, walled by hills on three sides

"Stop!" Pooja gave out a sudden shout

The car jerked to a halt All sprang out and, following Pooja pointed her finger as a dagger, focused their eyes on a shadow at the foot of a hill Against the glossy dark rocks the creature looked like a streak of lightning, frozen But soon the shadow stirred and then played hide and seek from bush to bush as the outlet into the jungle had been blocked

But the shadow came swiftly and disappeared into the lusty green, jungle

And to the five pairs of startled eyes...
