Chapter 11 - Deception

Scarlett went to her room and started taking out her clothes to change. She than went to bathroom and opened the tap to wash her face. Water was not coming. She tried to open all the taps but nothing came out. Suddenly all the taps started working but the thing flowing out of the tap was red in color.

Scarlett put her hand under one of the tap to check that may be it was some color due to the rusted taps as house was very old.

But when that thing was not just colored or foul water, it was BLOOD. It's consistency and smell was so bad just like fresh blood.

Scarlett's hands started to shake. She could not believe her eyes. A loud scream got out of her throat.

She started running out of the room. When she bumpes into someone. She fell and covered her face while screaming and crying.

Noah heard the scream and came out of his room. He saw Scarlett running while her eyes close. He went into her direction. Scarlett bumped into his chest and fell. She started screaming and crying even more while covering her face.

Noah held her hands and removed from her face. She had her eyes still closed and started struggling to free her hands.

"Scarlett! Open your eyes! Look here! I am Noah! What happened to you??!!!!",he said while shaking her by her shoulder.

Scarlett stopped struggling and slowly opened her eyes. She suddenly hugged Noah and started crying. She was looking like a mess and she was trembling.

Noah hugged her back and starting rubbing her back calming her.

"Shhh!! It's okay! I am here!!", Noah said.

Both Kaylin and Liam also came out of their rooms hearing all the noises. They saw Scarlett and Noah. They went to them.

"Oh my goodness!! Scarlett what happened??!!", Kaylin asked seeing wet clothes of Scarlett and crying while Noah.

They both helped Scarlett to get up.

"What happened here bro??!!", Liam asked Noah.

Noah told him what he saw. They sat down Scarlett in the chair. Kaylin brought a towel for her to cover her. Liam went to bring some water. Scarlett took glass of water with trembling hands and drank water.

Noah kneeled down in front of Scarlett.

"Now tell us what happened??, Noah asked politely.

" I.. I went to bathroom to fresh up. B.. But when I opened the tap t.. there was not water in taps, it was b...b..blood", she said while sobbing. "Look I still have it on my hands!!!! ", Scarlett showed her hands to Noah. But to her surprise they were totally clean.

"Huh?!! Where did all the blood went! I had it on my hands and my clothes too!!", she said while looking at all of her clothes and hands.

"I swear it was blood".

Liam ran towards Scarlett's bathroom and saw that all the taps were running and water was coming from them. He came out and. Said, "It was just water!"

Everyone looked at her and back at him.

"I am not lying!!", Scarlett said.

"We didn't said that Scarlett. Calm down okay. You are just having illusion because of all the stories you heard about this house and mayne it was a dream", Kaylin said.

"B.. But!!", Scarlett said.

But Noah interrupted her.

"I guess should take rest. You will feel better", Noah said.

"I will stay with you okay!!", Kaylin said and took Scarlett to her room

"Maybe she was just tired! Let's go and sleep too! We have a lot of work to do tomorrow", Liam said. He tapped on Noah's shoulder and went to his room.

Noah was standing still at his place alone. As he was not convinced that it was just an illusion. Now he wanted to take some action.

He went to his room to take some things as he was going out to get more information.
