Ismah: slams the car door “We’re here. No turning back now.”

Sakshi: staring at the mansion “Are you serious? This place looks cursed.”

Tanishka: trembling “I don’t want to be here. It feels... wrong.”

Shreya: shrugs “You’re all being dramatic. Ghosts aren’t real.”

Ismah: “Let’s go find out. We didn’t drive all this way for nothing.”

They step inside. The door creaks shut behind them.

Sakshi: nervously “Why is it so cold in here? This place is giving me the creeps.”

Pari: softly “It feels like... like something’s watching us.”

Tanishka: whispers “What if we’re not alone?”

A loud bang echoes from upstairs. Everyone freezes.

Shreya: “That was definitely not just the house settling. What the hell was that?”

Ismah: grinning “Ghosts don’t scare me. Let’s go check it out.”

They slowly make their way upstairs. The floorboards creak under their weight. Another bang. Then... whispers.

Tanishka: panicking “I don’t want to do this anymore. I want to go home!”

Shafiya: hushed “I... I think it’s too late for that.”

The door at the end of the hallway swings open on its own. The air grows colder.

Ismah: without hesitation “We came here for answers. We’re finishing this.”

They enter the dark room. Suddenly, the door slams shut behind them. The whispers grow louder.

Sakshi: “What the hell is happening? We can’t get out!”

Out of the shadows, a figure materializes. Its eyes glow as it steps forward.

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DJQLfGssu

Voice: “You shouldn’t have come.”

The lights flicker. The group gasps as the pressure in the room thickens.

Shreya: whispering “We’re not leaving. Are we?”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSXy2VftMp

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AXhxfnspB

The figure suddenly stops. It speaks in a calmer tone.

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgsT8YP9Y2

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpHzs3Es4a

Voice: “Wait. You are not like the others. You see the truth, don’t you?”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7n8vvLNni

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLt8R5X4ky

Ismah: eyes narrowing “What truth? Why are we here?”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DcjSDZsCV

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y51DLl8X6

The figure pauses, then slowly steps closer.

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EFKKROyZw

Voice: “This house... it calls those who are brave enough to seek. You are the ones who can break the curse. The spirits here... they can’t move on until you do.”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMVILuUs8X

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd8yGdo7ZZ

The air shifts, the darkness receding slightly. The house feels... less oppressive.

Shafiya: “So, we’re supposed to help? How?”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGRB8SqbVh

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hXBfqVVX4

Voice: smiling faintly “By letting go. By breaking the chains of fear. You must choose—leave now, or help free us from this prison.”

Ismah looks around at her friends. One by one, they nod, even Tanishka.

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIhJm21VcN

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9vKSgvyVi

Ismah: stepping forward “We’re in this together. Let’s end it.”

The figure slowly raises its hand, and the door to the room creaks open on its own. The oppressive feeling lifts completely, leaving a quiet peace in its wake. The group steps outside, the house behind them now still, quiet, and no longer threatening.

Tanishka: exhaling “Did we... did we really do it?”

Sakshi: grinning “We did. And I’m never doing anything like this again.”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdjJiTHfR7

As they walk away from the mansion, the wind stirs behind them, but this time, it’s gentle. The curse has been broken. They can finally leave in peace.
