Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 - Face to face

Vicky was shocked to see Jini, she was emitting so much light, that it appears as if it was her soul.

Then she indicated to Vicky to come along with her.

Vicky followed her without any reluctance. While following her he knew that this is not Jini but maybe her soul or it could be some type of trap.

All he could do was follow her.

They both went through the forest in a particular direction, Vicky also yelled at Jini to stop and talk to him as Vicky was eager to find out what was going on?

After following her for half a mile, again he was at the edge of the old abandoned town which he saw last night.

The aura of Jini went into the same house where he encountered the shadow creature last night. Her aura went across the door without opening it, hence this assured Vicky that it was her spirit.

As Vicky stood outside the house in complete darkness, a sweet melody was heard as if she was singing or trying to convey her feelings through the song. The song read -

It's been a hundred years since night has come.

It's been a hundred years since the day has come.

It's been a hundred years since I've seen the Moon.

It's been a hundred years since I've lived.

Why is this moment stationary?

Why doesn't time change?

Why is this path lonely?

Why doesn't anyone come out?

It's been a hundred years since I've breathed

It's been a hundred years since I've lived

The agony and the pain of her spirit can be felt in the words. It seemed like she has been trapped in this and she is dying to get out of this situation.

Suddenly Vicky heard her screaming and the lights in the house started blinking unevenly.

Vicky ran towards the door and entered the house, he saw here and there to search for Jini and to locate from where the voice was coming.

His senses indicated, that the voice was coming from a room. he rushed toward the room and in aggression grabbed the door grip, and pulled it towards himself. At that moment a strong wind force having the face of that creature dashed him out of the area. The door shut in front of him tightly. He again heard Jini's screaming, so he went up to the door and tried to open it again but it was locked. Then he recalled that there is a window in the room, so he swiftly moved outside the house and reached up to the window.

The lights were still blinking and Jini's painful voice can be heard. As he reached up to the window and tried to open it. Again that creature pushed Vicky outside saying

"GET OUT!!" the creature said.

Vicky fell to the ground and he looked at the whole scene helplessly.

Vicky covered his ears with his hands as it became unbearable for him to listen to such a painful voice.

After a minute the screaming and blinking of light ended. Vicky stood up and walked to the front of the house, as he stood still, a ray of light appeared, and Jini came in front of him.

"Save me, he is consuming my energy every day to empower himself," said Jini.

"who is he, please tell me Jini, and what is this place? Where am I? please give me a hint" asked Vicky.

Jini disappeared and a piece of half-burnt paper came toward him. Vicky picked that paper and as he was about to read, the wind swept away that piece.

Vicky followed the paper as he knew it contains a clue for him. The paper finally rested on the ground, Vicky moved up the place and then he picked the piece and he saw the creature was standing in front of him.

Vicky knew that whoever this creature is, he doesn't want him to know about the place. so to secure the piece of paper, he kept it in his pocket.

Vicky knew that he can't run from it because it was his place, Hence he decided to face him.

Now both stood against each other face to face.

The creature came up to him and tried to grab the throat of Vicky to chock him. But as soon as the creature's hand reached near Vicky, they were a few centimetres away from the throat,

the hand of the creature burned. It appeared that Vicky had some kind of shield that was preventing the creature from harming Vicky directly.

That's why the creature used wind as a source to push him away, he didn't touch him directly. But this time he made a mistake.

Vicky instantly took a piece of rock and threw towards him which he deflected.

Vicky then realised that if touching is causing him to burn then this might be the way to defeat him.

Now his shield will become his weapon, So Vicky charged toward the shadow creature.

The creature already anticipated this, so he vanished from there.

As the creature vanished, Vicky woke up in his bedroom.

Breathing heavily he got up from the bed as he knew it was not a dream but a real experience.

The only problem was he was not able to decode how he manages to reach that place.

He searched his pockets for that piece of paper

and he got it right there.

He unfolded the piece of paper and it read...

'SAN BRIGANZA!!!!'
