A HAUNTED DARE (HORROR)

In  my school, some comes for studying, some for fun and enjoy and some come for business. Yes, business. Tarun, and his squad of three friends are businessman of the class. They gives dare to anyone and if the person wins Tarun gives them money and if not then the person has to give them money. Well I (Raghav) always be far away from all this but unfortunately, one day in recess, Tarun called me

'Hey Bro, What's up?' Tarun said.

'Nothing Much Bro.' I replied.

'I heard that you are Darpok (faint hearted)' he said.

'No, Who said this shit to you' I said with anger.

'Leave that, But I don't believe that you are not a Darpok' he said.

'So what I can do sir to make you believe that I am not Darpok?' I said

'Okay, take it as a dare, you have to go to Hindu Nivas and be inside it for one hour' he said.

'What! ''Hindu Nivas'' that death house, which all say that it is haunted?' I said

'Yes, I will give you 100/- if you will be there for one hour' he said.

'Forget it bro, I am not going to go to that haunted house' I said and was leaving from there.

'Okay so you are a Darpok and now this thing will known by all and all will tease you' he said like blackmailing me.

'What do you want' I said.

'Complete my dare go to Hindu Nivas or else give me 100/-' he said.

'Okay, I will go' I said because I don't want to prove that I was scared and afraid.

At evening,

I was on the way of that death house. It was not so far from my house, just 10 minutes of walk. I was just arriving when I seen Tarun was waiting for me on the gate of that house. 

'Hey Tarun' I said.

'Hii, are you ready? You can say no now also'

'Yes, I am ready' I said confidently.

'Okay, so I am lock the door from outside till one hour okay?' he said.

'Okay' I said.

He locked the door and I was in that dark house.
The house was so big and too dark. It was so dusty and there were many rooms in it. There were huge hanging lamps attached on the Rooftop. There were stairs straight from the door and I there were three rooms behind it with a kitchen. I was exploring the house and was going upstairs to see. I was confident that there was nothing scary in that house. I went to the room near stairs and as I opened the door, It was too dark and I was looking for the switches of light. I was touching my hands on the walls to find the switch and suddenly, my hand touched to one face on the nose, after some time, I realize that it was a face and when I clearly saw it, there was any horrible face looking at me! I started running from that room and I was near the stairs when my both legs were holded by two hands and very badly, I fall on stairs!

I was rolling on the stairs and fall down on the floor. I seen upstairs very urgently, there was no one. I ran to the near room and smashed the door very fastly. I rested, closed the eyes and  took a long breath. Finally, I opened my eyes. There was a bed straight near to me and... and... there was a particular thing or I say a dead body laying on it with black blanket. I turned too cold. The dead body woke and sat and then stood. It was coming near me. The head was bleeding. He was a boy, A teen boy like me. Before I could see all, I was trying to open the door. It was jammed. I turned the circle lock, smashed. I was watching the body and then to the lock again and again. Finally, the door opened and a came out and immediately closed the door.

I turned and seen three ghost and shouted 'Aaa', all had covered themself in white blanket, but it was clearly be seen that they were not ghost but the boys. 

'Hahaha Darpok' one of them said after taking off the blanket.

'Haa Darpok baccha' other said.

'Hey I am not Darpok okay' I said, They were Tarun's squad.

'Okay, So who was in the room?, Come out bro' I said.

'In the room? there is no one in that room okay. Don't try to make us fool' One of them said.

'I am not fooling you, there is a boy inside' I said.

'Show us' He said.

'I am not going to open it again' I said.

'Okay, I will open, Get aside.

He opened the door, But......there was no one inside.

'See, there is no one' He said and continued 'Darpok bacche'

I was just scared that where the boy was gone from that dark room and I just want to run fromthat house.

'Okay leave this, lets go from here now' I said.

'Okay lets go' He said. 

But as soon as we reached to the door, I remembered that Tarun has closed the door from outside.

'Oh! Ya Tarun had locked the door from outside' I said.

'What! Wait... Tarun had not came here, He told he had some work. So how can you say that Tarun has locked the door?' He said

'What! So what you think, I locked the door?' I said.

'It means.....' He said and stopped as we saw a man, old man was coming. He was at the stairs and coming with a support stick and a hat on the head. We started smashing the door. The Old man hold the stick in a way that he was ready to hit us. But then I saw that the window which was locked was slowly opening. I said 'Come on This way' and ran there and jumped out suddenly without taking help on the wall. It was a hidden power which came when I was in fear. We all ran together like a marathon and then separated as to the way of our home.

Later, I researched on that house and found that that house was haunted and a ghost of Dr. Volkarma exist there. The fact was a boy named 'Rana' was visited to the house as a dare from his friends but never came out. On the next day, The dead bodyof that boy was laying in one of the room of that house. 

     It was like when the ghost of Volkarma was coming to kill us, Rana, the dead boy's spirit saved us by opening that window to escape.

I won the bet of 100rs but somewhere in my mind, this incident had made a permanent place and It's unforgettable.
