Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 - Inquiring

Samuel reached his house and does slip on the bed like that to relax, ere-long he heard his phone ringing, he then woke up from his bed and attended the call as it was from Carter's mother, says "Hello",

"Did you come to know anything relates to Carter ?", Carter mother asked

"No, till now I am with the inspection team aunty, but there are no clues at all, please don't worry aunty, will know it very soon ", Samuel said

She said "Ok", in a very low voice and ends the call.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Inspection team collected the phone of the Carter and going back to the City, there they saw Greta's bike parking on the left side of the road. They stopped their vehicle and noted down the vehicle details to find out who own the bike.

Now it is 8.30 pm now, inspector returned to the police station. While entering into the station he saw a couple sitting on the bench worrying about something. After going to his cabin, he called them inside and inquired about their problem . . .

"Sir, My daughter was missing since yesterday," he said

He had a question mark on his face that since yesterday Carter too missing at the same time, and the time and place are sinking with him . . . . He asked for the further details . . . .

"Her name is Greta, working on an Intra Tech Software, Inc company, and her shift timings are 02:00 pm to 10:00 pm. She usually comes home on time regularly, but yesterday she did not reached the house on time and so we worried a lot, but traveling at that night time is not safer and so we reached here now ", he said

"Usually at what time she comes to home, everyday ?", Inspector asks his father.

" Exactly at 11:00 pm sir ", her father said

"Is there anything like Love affair ?", Inspector asked

"No sir, even she won't use her phone much to talk to some one else and she had a very less friends too ", he said

"How she comes home daily ?", Inspector asked

"She had a Bike sir", he said

Inspector show them a photo of bike and asked whether this was her . .

They replied, "Yes . . yes . . it was it ", replied in a rumpus . . . .

"Yes, but where did you found this one sir ?", he asked

"In the middle of the forest, why you did not found it while you are coming on this way ?", Inspector asked

"No sir, we are in hurry and worried about my daughter and so we did not observed it well . . and I think it might be that devil it seems " he said

Inspector did not understand anything, and says, "at same time another guy name Carter also missing at the same place, and he is also from your village, do you know him ?", Inspector asked

"No, sir, we are new here, we are not much familiar with any one in the city yet", he said

"Ok, you go now, if anything came to our knowledge, will inform to you immediately ", Inspector said

The couple went out in a very sad mood, thinking about what happened to her child . . . .

Inspector made a call to Samuel and asked, "Did he had any love affair ?",

He replied, "No sir, why did you asked like that?",

"At the same time and same place, a woman called Greta too missing and we found her bike far from the incident, where the Carter bike was parked ", Inspector said

" O my god . . ", Samuel said

"Are you sure, he does not have any love affair right ?", Inspector asked him once again to confirm the details and to clear his doubt

"No sir, I am damn sure about it ", Samuel said

He said, "Ok", and ends the call and thinking about the case very seriously that they did not found even a single clue to them . . .

Samuel did not understand what happened and called to his another friend explains him everything and says that, "I had a suspicious about the ghost and I think it dragged him into the middle of the forest ",

"Why do you think like that?" his another friend asked

"I saw his phone near the banyan tree bushes laid suspicious and so I got the doubt ", Samuel said

"Really ?" he asked

"Yes", Samuel replied

" But . . I think if the ghost dragged him, then he would not be alive till now, because it would not leave any one alive if she met ", he said

" But . . ", Samuel is trying to say some thing in a confusion

"Ok . . ok . . you calm down first, I will call you in the morning", he said

Samuel ends the phone and fell asleep feeling restless . .

Midnight at 12:30 am, in the middle of the forest . . . .

"I heard some chatters of those like dog's or foxes, very heavy body aches, I am trying to open my eyes, but not able to do so, had it heavy on my mind and on my body too, I opened my eyes with great difficulty, a little sky appeared in the middle of the tall trees as soon as I opened my eyes to see where I am. Seems to have no strength even to stand up, very hardly I woke up and sat down. I felt my head is turning around, at the same time I remembered about Greta and looked back and forth for her becoming tension about her " Carter thinking in himself

"I saw her lying beside me unconscious, I tried to wake her up, but did not, a pond appeared in the distance, with great difficulty I picked her up upon with both my hands and continued my walk towards the pond",

"As I approached the pond, I laid her down near a large rock there, I brought some water with my both the hands and sprinkled it on her face, therewith she came into conscious".

"She had the same feelings, which I had when I woke Up",

"Where are we?", asks slowly as she has no strength to speak nor wake up and sit . . . .

"I did not understand the same ", Carter said

Trying to see the watch on his wrist, but it is not visible in the dark, as it was a digital one, he turns on the light and saw the time, he stays in a shock and thinks that his watch was not working as it was showing 12:40 am . . . .

"How much it is now ?, Our parents are waiting for us we need to go from here right away ", Great said with fear

He didn't speak for a while, she again asks for second time . . .

" Carter, I am asking you, what's the time now ?", Greta asked

" it's . . it's 12:40 am ", Carter said

" what's that in it ?, why are you in confusion about the time ?", Greta asked

" Because it's 12:40 am and we almost travelled in my bike for two hours on the way to our house, but still it is showing 12:40 am ", Carter said

" what's that in it for worrying that much ?, I think your watch is not working might be so ", Greta said

" Yes . . you are right, I think my watch is not working, showing wrong time and date" Carter said

"What was it showing ?" Greta asked very curiously

"Thursday, 12:40 am" Carter said

"If your watch is not working, then it should show Wednesday 12:40 am, why it was showing the future date ?" Greta asked suspiciously

The two are terrified at once and looks each other into their faces fearfully . .

"Does that mean we've been here since last night ?, that too without consciousness ?" Carter said

Greta was crying, he went near and hugged her saying, "Don't worry, I am with you, Let's get out of here somehow as soon as possible "

They heard someone in the distance crying and it was very light for now that means far away from them . . . .

They sat silently after listening to the cry with out speaking out any thing at that moment, so that the ghost became silent for a while and few minutes later it started again but much nearer than before, that means she is coming towards them . .

" O my god . . she started playing with us again ", Carter said

"How to escape from here ?" Greta asked

"We can't escape at this time, we have to be very careful and hide somewhere here tonight. We have to escape from here in the morning only ", Carter said

"Whether it's a man or animal?, how can we hide from demons & monsters?" Greta asked

"I know it's very hard but we have to try, if we want to survive from here ", Carter said

"But how ?" Greta asked

"Before that you should not shout like yesterday, I think, your screaming seems make her angry and we came here and fell ", Carter said

"But how could I sit silently even after seeing the ghost with my naked eyes ?, I am so scared of seeing that resemble ", Greta said

"Not only you but I was scared too, hold me tight if you are scared for the next time", Carter said

She looked at him seriously and said, "Do not use this opportunity",

The cry is heard again, walking aside, she suddenly hugs him tightly with fear . . . .
