The next morning, strong rays of sunlight woke Shruti and Monika. Monika rolled her eyes,

"Shruti! Wake up!"

Shruti woke up with her eyes closed as the sun rays were literally piercing her eyes. Monika began to look for the priest of that temple whom they met yesterday.

Now Shruti had opened her eyes completely, "Monika, we must leave, before something bad happens". Shruti said with concern.

"Bad! What do you mean bad?" asked Monika.

"He came in my dream..and... tried to kill me.... he had the same axe in his hand with which Rahul was murdered." Shruti said.

Monika frowned, "What?? Are you sure! I think you had a nightmare again. See you are shivering, which means you had not slept well. Anyways, let's find the priest and oh my god... My car..."

Monika ran towards her damaged car which she saw from far, while Shruti followed her. "Oh no! Look... What that bastard did to my car. I swear to God, I am gonna send him back to the hell." Monika said stomping her foot angrily.

Shruti gave her confused look. Monika continued, "Ghosts do live in the hell? Right?".

"Here have some water!" The priest said, standing behind them. Both of them jolted,

Shruti said, "You scared us."

The priest said, "Those who believe in God, are not needed to be scared."

Monika took the pot filled with water, both of them cleansed their faces, they felt fresh.

Monika asked the priest "My car is wrecked, so do you know any way towards the city?"

Priest said, "Yes. There is a way, when you get to the end of this forest, the road will lead you to highway, from there you can catch any vehicle, which will go to the main city."

Monika left a sigh. "Thank you, for your help mister, its been very weird for us lately, and you helped us through that."

The priest replied with a smile, "Don't thank me, thank him." The priest raised his index finger towards a tree.

Monika gave him a confused look, "What? Who?"

The priest simply answered, "You will know whom to thank."

Monika was still confused but she ignored the fact and touched his feet.

He blessed her, "God bless you." (In India, touching the feet of someone elder than us means showing respect. In return they give blessings and best wishes.)

Both of them headed towards roadway. While priest kept looking at the tree, as Shruti and Monika were walking the priest shifted his eyes from the tree to both of them as if someone was following Shruti and Monika.

After hours of searching vehicle, they found a truck heading towards them. They waved their hand for a lift. The truck driver stopped the truck.

Monika said, "We need to go to the city, its important. Could you drop us?" The driver agreed and both climbed on the truck.

Shruti saw someone was sitting already on the top of the truck. It was a masculine figure, dressed in black from head to toe. The man turned back to show his green eyes and blood stained skin. Shruti's body jolted and she began to have a panic attack. Shruti was pointing towards that man. Monika was not understanding what was happening as there was no one on the top of the truck. Monika somehow calmed her, but in real Monika was also equally scared. Shruti started hallucinating again.

They finally reached their colony. Monika immediately called Mr. Rathod to tell him about their horrible experience.

"Hello, uncle! Monika here! I need to tell you something very important."

He replied, "Sure. What's the matter? Is everything all right?"

She said, "Uncle, last night was probably most horrible night of my life."

He interrupted, "What? Maybe we should meet again because its necessary to keep Shruti safe, New moon day is approaching, in that period evil spirits gain more power."

Monika said, "No uncle, we can't go anywhere, that bastard followed us and even wrecked my car. I don't think its a good idea to meet. In fact can you come today, so that we can plan to destroy that spirit."

Uncle said, "I can understand Monika, you care for Shruti, but we can't hurry in these cases, it could be extremely dangerous for the victims. If you say so I will come in the evening."

Monika agreed, "OK then. Bye", the phone got disconnected.

Monika suddenly remembered that they were going to meet Rohit for information about Sameer. She called Rohit and told him to meet in the evening to which he agreed. Monika saw Shruti was acting weird, she was not eating her food properly but was shivering and threw away the leftover food.

Shruti suddenly started crying and speaking, "Rahul! Come back! I need you. I don't want to die. sob sob..."

Monika went to calm her, "Shruti! Please calm down. Nothing will happen to you. I am with you."

They both hugged. Monika told Shruti that Rohit is going to come regarding Sameer. Shruti had now stopped crying. They waited for Rohit.

At Rohit's home:-

Rohit was getting ready as usual. He looked into the mirror to straighten his collar, he noticed a crack on the mirror. He touched it, and the crack begun to spread and within seconds, the whole mirror was filled with cracks. Rohit was horrified, as he saw green eyes glaring at him through broken mirror.

He wanted to run away but his feet were automatically glued to the floor. The man behind the mirror was coming closer now. Rohit was so md that he couldn't speak a word. Soon the man revealed himself, Rohit's eyes widened and all the cracks into the mirror got converted into pointed shards and all got pierced into Rohit's body. The last words before he died was 'Sameer'.

Monika's home:-

Here Monika and Shruti waited for Rohit, the bell rang. Shruti opened the door,

"Oh come in." Mr.Rathod followed her inside.

Monika stood up, "Uncle! Are you okay?"

Uncle answered, "Why? I am fine, what's going to happen to me?"

Shruti said, "Uncle, we are just worried. He tried to kill us yesterday..."

Uncle said, "No need to worry. Everything is fine."

Monika was calling Rohit, but he was not answering any of her calls. "Come on man, answer the phone Rohit?" Monika said.

Shruti said, "Maybe he is trapped in traffic, you know Mumbai Traffic."

Uncle asked, "Are we expecting someone?"

Monika answered, "Yes. Remember I told you about our college friend Rohit. He is going to visit us regarding Sameer. But he is not answering any calls. I am slightly worried."

Uncle said, "Maybe we should try one more time."

Monika redialled his phone number. The phone was still ringing.... Somebody picked up, but no one spoke.

Monika said, "Hello! Rohit? Where are you now? Hello!?"

Somebody laughed in the background. Monika again repeated, "Hello! Who is this? Rohit! Was that you?".

A creepy masculine voice replied, "NO.. I AM SAMEER..."

Monika squinted her eyes, "Sameer!" The voice behind the phone started laughing creepily and the phone got disconnected. Monika froze and the phone fell from her hands.

Shruti and uncle turned towards her. "What happened Monika? Where is Rohit?" Shruti asked her.

Monika kept quiet for a while and spoke at last, "Ro...Rohit, is....dead."

Shruti stood up in shock, "What?" What the hell!"

Monika said, "Now I am confirmed, our suspect is Sameer. Rohit knew something important about Sameer, he was going to help us...he got killed, because of us."  She started weeping.

Shruti didn't move from her place. While uncle comforted Monika. Now Shruti's eyes darkened with anger, she said "Its all happening because of me. I am going to finish this off, enough of this cat and mouse game. Now its time to make things right. Uncle, I want to talk to Sameer, please."

Uncle replied, "Shruti, it's extremely dangerous, we will have to wait for sometime..."

Shruti interrupted, "No I can't wait anymore. Rohit is dead because of me, I don't want any other person to suffer because of me again. I think it's time now, to overcome my fears. He killed my Rahul, I want to know the reason behind it."

Uncle said, "If you say so, then I can try to bring his spirit here. But it can lead to deadly consequences, like death."

Shruti said, "Death! I am not afraid of death uncle, two months ago I lost my ultimate reason to live. Rahul was my life, and now he is gone, I want to kill the Rahul's murderer with my own hands, and I don't care if I will have to face even death for that."

Uncle said, "See Shruti, Revenge is not always a good solution. I am speaking by my personal experience, I was very young when I realised about my gift and visions. I learnt it from my grandfather, but once you enter into this profession, there is no way out. But I only used my powers to help people, but something happened, very unfortunate, I lost my loving wife, just because of my foolish decision."

Shruti noticed tears in uncle's eyes. Monika comforted uncle. While Shruti kept staring at them.
