Without the approval of their parents, they set out to finally execute their plan.
" So, guys, are you all ready to find out the mystery behind this so called haunted palace?",asked Shawn with a confident air.
"Oh yeah! I wonder what could be scarier than you Shawn!!'',answered Margaux ludicrously followed by everyone's laughter
"HAHAHA! That's so funny! See i am literally laughing my nose off!",replied shawn sarcastically
" Stop wasting time , let's make a move," added one of the pal
Here they were, walking along a path in the woods. Night was almost falling which was an unfavourable sign for them. The journey was longer than expected. However by the time they were proceeding to their way towards the palace , they eventually noticed a strange behaviour in Shawn.
" What are we doing here? Where are we right now? Aren't we supposed to be at home? Can someone clarify?'', asked Shawn
"What's wrong with you? Wasn't it you who made up the mind of coming upon here? Are you kidding or what?'', Jake answered rigourously
" What on earth are you saying?! Why would i ever mention about this. You are all aware that i am not into ghost things and all!", added Shawn.
Everybody was confused! They ended up arguing among each other when a huge branch from a tree fell heavily on the ground leaving a displeasing sound.
At that moment, everyone turned back to look into the matter when Shawn approached and said, " Let's get going now, it's just a branch. Leave it''.
Everyone stared at him perplexed.
" What? Are we going to spend the night here? Let's go buddy", launched Shawn.
Earlier, he was insisting of being unaware of their actual plan and his behaviour was quite sceptical but now, he seemed to be back to his senses . They wondered if it was one of his jokes or not. Yet, they proceeded without objecting.
They were in a somber forest. Darkness was crushing, it was mercilessly windy, it was so cold that they could easily choke to death. They started coming across some dim fogs which were enormously depriving the vision. A feeling of negative energy could be sensed.
Shawn started feeling dizzy. He felt a huge weight in his head. His friends immediately approched him.
" Shawn, what is happening! Are you okay? What is wrong with you?"
He stayed mum for a second and shortly raised his finger infront of him.
They looked up and noticed that they finally arrived at their destinantion. Fogs started drifting apart and they soon ended up contemplating the huge and eerie castle!!
They were spellbound on seeing such a magestic palace! They wondered how beautiful it might have been when it was newly constructed!!
------•-----
They'll soon enter the castle and that would be the time when you'll get to know about the mind boggling twist of this place. Wanna know the reason behind Shawn's behaviour?
Stay tuned for the next part!
