i decided on the spot that i was not to getr worked up and scared . pull yourself together, i thought.
then...just as it struck midnight...the trees behind me filled with an odd sort of bustling. as if somebody or...something...huge was hiding there. my heart skipped a beat. i started moving towards the source of the sound. just as i reached out for the bush i saw something in the distance that made me scream as i had never done before...a woman ...i could see a woman draped in a pure white saree....she was pretty young and she was ooking at me. but it was not that what made me scream....she was inhuman...ugly and inhuman.
her teeth were mossed ...her skin was pepery tellow....her eyes bloodshot...and she was leering at me with her yellow teeth.....in her hand he clutched a candle and in the other a bloody dagger. my insides froze with terror...i was a goner.
slowly she started movng towards me....i turned around and ran for dear life....i ran and i ran and all the while i could hear footsteps behind me though i never turned to look. just as i was suer that i will not see daylight tommorow, i saw the old woman who had warned me....she was looking out of a small hut ...and looking straight at me...
as i approached she stood back without a word to let me pass and i hurtled straight into her hut of 1 room.
in a corner was a small stove and in another a very ragged old bed .
i ran upto the crackling fire and deposited myself next to it. if only i could speak.
the old woman came and sat nwxt to me..wearing a very grave expression.
"you were lucky...a very ancient magic binds our hut out of danger of the spirit...stay here till morning...then you can go".
i looked at the old woman...she was after all telling the truth...i thanked her generously and apologised for my ignorance.
that night i hardly slept....next morning as she woke me up at 8 i left almost at once to go and board a bus.....i paid her all the money i had and left at top speed. as i reached the corner of the woods i saw to my utter astonishment...my car parked exacxtly where i had left it ...but then it had dissapeared.
i got in and drove back home
to be continued
