Chapter 4 - LITTLE BOY AND THE KNIFE THIEF

When Jacob went no one was there . He came inside .His face colour was turned into pale yellow .

My father asked "What happened ?"

Jacob "The ...the boy .....The....boy "

My father " Yes ,where He is ?"

"He is not there "

'Not there ? ,Then where he is ?"

"I don't know , but he is not there "

"Ok let me see "

My father went and looked all around .But there was no one .

He came inside .He sat on the chair and said "Bring me some ... water !"

Jacob brought water for him .

He drank all the water in one sip .

He said "Where he has gone then "? while handing over the glass to Jacob .

My mother said " I guess that the old man and that boy have some link "

While me who was sitting on chair , after hearing this I stood up and went to the window . While staring that weird house I replied "And that weird house and the ghost boy too "

Jacob " But why , why ? only us ?"

My mother " I guess we should move from here to some other place .This place is not good for us more ."

I said " Yes Dad ,for the past few days I am examining many weird things . I can't sleep all over the night due to this fear ".

My mother " If this continued , then we will be no more soon .What are you thinking now .Find a new house for us ."

Jacob " Yes nothing is good here for us . I am missing my old friends "

My father stood up .

My father stood up .He went to the window and replied "No we are not going anywhere ."

My mother " But why ?"

"I want to see who is all behind this "?

"And when you will find out ,when all of us are killed ?"

"No ,soon...." He said that and he went downstairs in a hustle ,while we were watching from the window . He went to the road ,picked up something and sat in the car .

But we could not see what he picked ?

As , my mother was ill so I went to the kitchen to make something for her . I picked up the knife from knifedock and started cutting vegetables . As I was cutting vegetables , I feel someone passing through the window .The sun was setting ,so I thought that it might be birds . I went back but , I could not find the knife there . I rolled, my eyes here and there and then beyond my expectations , I found the knife in the knifedock .

Yes, firstly I also thought that it might be some other knife but the vegetable peel proved it wrong .

I thought that Jacob had done .I started cutting vegetables again . The sun was almost set . Then , I heard someone's voice . I turned back but there was no one . I nodded my head and grabbed the knife in my hand . But the cucumber , which I was cutting was not there . I looked here and there ,and I found it in a plate .

Now what? ,I can't thought of Jacob because he was not there and secondly ,he can't have done it in seconds . But what could I do? I was trembling . To calm myself I said " Don't worry Allice , there is no one "

I started back cutting vegetables . I was cutting , suddenly I saw that little boy which we saw in the forest in front of me . I closed my eyes and I started shouting and moving knife in the air .

My mother and Jacob came downstairs and asked" What happened ? What are you doing . Stop it Allice ."

My mother took the knife from me . When I opened my eyes no one was there except my mother and Jacob . I was completely shocked . While Jacob "sister, what happened ?"

I replied " Noth...nothing ....."

"Why were you shouting Allice ?" my mother asked .

"I saw that little boy here ."

" What here "?

While my father came back . He was having a bag in his hand . He asked "what happened "

My mother replied " Nothing Jacob had seen that little boy again "

My father " what where?. "

I replied " here ! Infront of me."

"No problem " he replied ."I have bought something for you.

We all went to the room.
