Chereads / The Journey Of The Immortal King / Chapter 16 - Haunted House

Chapter 16 - Haunted House

Kazama is roaming on the street and after a little while he finds that he reached the back alley which is supposed to be a place where poor of the poorer lives.

He knows the address and so he followed the address to somehow get to his destination, he also asks few people before but now he finally saw a bakery.

It's a rundown bakery, very old, covered in dirt and it was also broken.

He thinks " I think I am on the right track as the address mentioned a bakery and so.…it should be near somewhere"

He followed the street on which the bakery was located and at the end of the street there was a house located, the street also ends where the house is.

He is terrified by the exterior of the house, it was a medium sized house, design was luxurious but, with time it got broken down from some parts. Spider webs were everywhere. There was a lamp post at the entrance of the house and it's made up of glass and it also had a hole, it was night time so it looked like it's a house inhabited by some vampires or so.

Kazama was just having second thoughts about the location then he saw some numbers and letters on the front door of the house.

The letters and numbers written were - "2nd Avenue,

House number - 57"

This confirmed the location which Kazama was searching for but now that he knows it's this house, he had no choice but to go inside it to look for the person who posted the job.

Kazama was scared.

So he gathered all his courage and went for it .

Kazama knocks on the door.

Nobody answered so he knocks again but the same happened again.

Kazama says "what's this? Nobody is here. Am I a joke to that receptionist? He might have given me the wrong house to get me worked up."

Kazama knocks again but this time the door slightly opens up, to his surprise nobody locked the door.

Kazama thinks "it's just a haunted house, door is also open so I don't think someone will be living here in a creepy environment like this"

The house is so creepy that Kazama wants to leave this house as soon as possible but something within him is whispering to him that he should atleast look around the house one time just to be sure.

It was his inner voice but scientifically it's just his another opinion of this situation.

It was his subconsciousness.

He went inside.

Crack....zzz...crzzzz.….

The door made sound as Kazama opened it.

There's pin drop silence in the house.

Kazama can hear his own steps. He shouts "is there someone?….." With a pause he completes his sentence "….Answer now"

Nobody answered.

It was pitch black but somehow Kazama can walk in this dark without any problem as he has his 6th sense awakened a while ago.

[ 6th sense is a type of skill which helps it's weilder to see everything clearly in dark atmosphere]

The house looks like it is deserted.

There are furnitures in the house but they all are covered in spider webs, some are broken also.

Kazama is walking straight, he is currently in the living room which is connected to the front door through which Kazama entered.

He is moving slowly and cautiously forward, suddenly he realises that he reached the door of another room connected to the current room at which he was.

He says "oh...it's another door leading to another room."

"It might be empty but what is this feeling that I am getting."

"This feels like it's telling me to open the door and head inside"

After saying these words and after a little thinking he opens the door, currently looking at the haunted and broken house Kazama thinks that nobody should be living here but to his surprise when he opens the door there were people inside.

An adult man is lying on a bed with a not so little kid sitting near him and heartfully clinging to the lying person's left hand.
