“I don’t know,” Manuel, answer.
Some thing was definitely changed with Mathew; his eyes it’s normally black but it is red that is really weird, his voice was so different because he’s got a high pith voice but now it was really low now.
“Did you found anything to eat,” Manuel asked.
“Yes, delicious,” Mathew replied.
“Where did you get it from,” Joe asked.
“When I was walking, I saw a hut so I went in their but no one was their, I was looking for food and I found some food and I ate it, ” told them.
Then they started to walk. No body talked.
At last Mathew spoke, “Where are we going?”
“We don’t know,” Joe replied.

“I know where to go, my dad use to come here. We have a guest house in here,” Mathew said.
“Why didn’t you told us before,” Lilly asked him.
“Because…” Mathew struggled, “ Because I Couldn’t remember.”
“ What you mean you couldn’t remember?” Lilly asked.
“I came her when I was twelve so I couldn’t remember,” Mathew answered.
“Ok, leave it now at least he remembered it now, lets go,” Manuel demanded.
But Lilly and Joe was panicking.
They all started to follow Mathew. Everything was all right now, there were calm. They walked about 15 minutes.
Afterwards they saw strange and Massive unusual house. It was a tall redbrick house with a sloping black roof and rows of windows framed by black shutters.
It was so dark that it’s 9.15 now. The whole house was covered in darkness, as if it were hiding in the shadows of the gnarled, old trees that bent over it.
It was the middle of July, but dead brown leaves blanketed the front garden.
“This house is creepy,” Lilly disgusted, “does anyone looks after this house.”
“Yap, we’ve got a servant,” Mathew replied.
“Then why is it in this condition,” Lilly walked up to the door and knocked.
“AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh…” Lilly screamed.
“What happened?” Manuel urged.
“Look!” Lilly point her hand a strange guy.
He had a big round black eye and no body could notice him because you could only see his white teeth and his red shirt. He had a big black
Moustache and a big weird smile on face.
“Don’t worry, it our servant,” Mathew told her.
“Oh I see,” Lilly calmed down.
Everybody started to laugh.
“Welcome sir,” the servant put the light on.
“Why is it dark in here even though you put the light on,” Lilly asked.
“Obviously, it’s a forest,” Mathew answered.
“Okay, I want to have a bath” Joe urged. “Where is it?”

“Pass me the chicken leg,” Lilly asked.
“You want a chicken leg. I want your leg,” Mathew’s eyes were looking for something.
“What?” Lilly demanded.
“Nothing,” Mathew murmured.
“Mmmmm the chicken leg taste nice,” Manuel took another chicken leg.
“Tomorrow we are going to look around the forest so everyone get ready by 9’0 clock,” Mathew burped, “Sorry.”
“But we need someone who knows this forest very well,” Joe asked.
“Mathew you know this place very well isn’t it?” Lilly asked.
“Is it, he couldn’t even remember this place and how you going to know it now,” Joe asked.
“Don’t start again,” Lilly was pleased.
“The servant knows it very well, he will show us,” Mathew said.
“There are so many places here to look, river falls, mountains, animals etc…”
“What? River falls I love it,” Lilly was excited.
“Lilly is going to be the first person to get up,” Joe laughed, “Lilly bring your camera.”
“Definitely,” Lilly answered.
“Look every one have to be ready before 9.’0 clock or you can stay here and clean the house and cook,” Mathew ordered.
“Yes boss,” Joe laughed.
Every body started to laugh. Everyone went to sleep.

Some thing made Lilly woke up. She sat straight up, startled.
Despite the heat of the room, she felt cold all over. She looked down to the end of the bed; she saw that she had kicked off the sheet and light blanket. With a groan, she reached down for them, but then she froze.
She heard a whisper. Some one was whispering across the room.
She climbed out of the bed. She walked across the room but nothing was there. She saw a shadow of a human, she grabbed her camera took a torch and suddenly, the shadow disappeared. Lilly went outside to see. It was dark, the leaves were all blowing from the tree, and the owls were shrinking. Lilly heard whispering again behind her, she turned around but no one was there.
“Who’s that,” Lilly’s face was red, she was sweating all over. She took her camera out took some photos TOK TOK TOK TOK She heard some was walking behind her, she turned………..
“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,” She started to pray.
Someone was right behind her now; the hot breath blew Lilly’s hair. She didn’t turned around but she can see the reflection of the person.
“Hello,” The person turned around in Lilly’s face.
“Oh!!! You.”
“Yes, me Mathew.”
“You scared me to death.”
“What are you doing here?”
“I saw someone in my room and suddenly they just vanished.”
“Did you, Do you know who is it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Maybe that was your imaginary.”
“No, I did see someone.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Then you saw me.”
“What I saw you…………………………”

“Where is Lilly?” Joe wondered.
“I didn’t see her in this morning,” Manuel Worried.
“Mathew did you saw her,” Joe asked.
“No,” Mathew answered.
“Where the hell is she?” Joe shouted.
“May be she went outside,” Manuel said.
“Lets go and look for her,” Joe urged.
They all went outside, they walked for long, and they couldn’t find her.
“Manuel you go this direction,” Joe ordered. “Mathew you go that direction, me and Panny (the servant) will go this direction and when you find her come to this place.”
They all went to their direction.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,”
Some one screamed. They all came back to the place expect from Joe so they went to find Joe and what they saw was………
Lilly was lying on the floor with a blood thick and dark like a black current juice on her neck.
She was covered with leaves as a bird was sitting on her back.
“What happened,” Joe started to cry.
“I can’t believe,” Manuel picked her up and put her head in his lap.
“How did this happened,” Joe was sweating, his eyes was as a cherry, tears dropped in his cheek.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone was silent for a moment.
“How did she died,” Joe asked.
“There are some animals here, I mean like tigers and lions, they might killed her,” Mathew answered.
“ Don’t talk stupid, they won’t leave her like this, there is only a mark in her neck,” Manuel picked her up.
“ It can’t be a murder because she don’t have any enemy,” Joe said.
“O.k. we need to do a funeral for her,” Mathew changed the subject.

TOK… TOK… TOK…
Some one was walking in Manuel’s bedroom. It was a shadow of a human, it walked along to the bed, which was covered. The shadow went near…

The light went on.
“What are you doing here,” Joe asked.
“I saw a spider and I came to kill it,” Mathew replied.
“Oh, Aren’t you going to sleep, it’s about 11.45 now?” Joe asked.
“Yes, I’m” Mathew went off.
Manuel prints out the photos that Lilly took.
“ Mathew,” Manuel shouted.
“What happened?” Joe urged.
“Look, I think some one is holding Lilly’s neck but can’t see the person its invisible,” Manuel said.
“Who is that? ” Joe asked,” What’s going on here?”
“Who took this picture,” Manuel asked.
“I don’t know but I’m sure someone is holding Lilly’s neck” Joe said.
“So you mean the person on the photo killed Lilly.”
“Yes.”
“Lets go and tell Mathew.”
They couldn’t find Mathew then after all he came.
Joe called him to his room and picked up the photo from front of the mirror.
“Mathew, come here,” Joe called him.
Suddenly Joe saw a girl in the mirror then he turn to Mathew but in the mirror it was someone else. He was really confused.
“Why did you call me?” Mathew asked.
“Nothing. Its alright,” Joe answered.
Is it something wrong with my eyes or is it I am wondering.
He went to Manuel’s room and told what he saw a girl in the mirror but Mathew was standing on the mirror.
“You fool, where are you,” Manuel laughed.
“Isn’t a joke, I’m serious,” Joe hit him on his hand.
“O.k. then lets prove it,”
“Prove what?”
“That you saw what ever on the mirror.”
“O.k.”
Joe called Mathew over to the mirror.
“Mathew did you saw my watch,”
Manuel saw a girl in the mirror.
“No,”
“O.k. then,”
Mathew went off.
“Some thing is going on wrong in here,” Manuel said.
“We have to go away from this house and this forest.”
“What we going to do.”
“I got answer for your question,” Joe saw the servant outside.
“You saw the girl in the mirror didn’t you”
“Yes, I did,”
“Do you know you her.”
“Yes.”
“What do you know about her?"
“Her name is Nisha. She came from India, she doesn’t know English. She used to work in here.
“Where is she now,” Joe interrupt.
“She is dead.”
“What? She is dead”
“Yes, she is dead and she is my daughter.

“ATCHA GATCHA MATCHA”
Suddenly Nisha was standing front of them. Joe went up to her and touched her.
“Yes, yes, we made her yes,” Joe was so happy.
“Thank you very much,” Nisha was pleased.
They heard a voice, “I’m going to kill you.”
They all suddenly turned around and it was MATHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mathew stared out of the dusty window as the car bounced over the narrow.
Lilly tossed her, “How long we have left.”
“One hour,” Manuel replied.
As Mathew interrupts “I’m hungry”
The car suddenly stopped.
“What happened?” Lilly turned to Manuel, “Why did you stopped?"
“The petrol is finished,” Manuel replied.
As Mathew interrupts again, “I’m hungry.”
Joe shouted at Mathew and tells him to go and find some thing to eat and so Mathew went off.
