Raihan,a student from med college spinned the bottle and the game began.Some of them chose the truth and some of them chose the dare.A few of them disclosed their hidden secret,hidden feelings and a few of them did tasks like singling,dancing, 30 push up, drinking 1 litre water bottle in one go or kissing  boyfriend/girlfriend.

The fire was leaping up ,woods are burning and everyone enjoying the heat of fire and having a great time playing the game.So even Zara and her friends.But the game took another turn when it pointed at Sam and Misha grabbed the chance to tease her.

"Okay,Ms.so called beauty queen,Truth or dare?"Misha asked, grinning.

"Hit me with a dare."Sam shrugged.

"Well...as you know that I like you so much So I'll give you a very simple task.You just have to eat 5 chilies. That's it."Misha said and Sam's eyes widened in horror.

Misha knew very well that Sam couldn't eat spice and that's why she gave this task to her.

"What's wrong,Sam?Why do you look so pale? It's a simple task.Can't you do it?"Misha said in a teasing tone.

"Ofcourse,I can.Bring it on."Sam said , glaring at her.

"But we don't have chillies."Tina said,worrying for her friend.

"Leave that up to me."Misha said, getting up .

She went somewhere and  came back in a few minutes with some green chillies in her hand.

She gave those chilles to Sam and sat back to her seat.

Everyone got excited to see if Sam could complete her task or not.

"Go ahead,Sam."Misha prompted.

Sam scowled at her and then without allowing any time to second-guess herself, she popped the first green chilli whole into her mouth and chewed it a little bit before swallowing it all. 

Her eyes teared up and face turned red instantly due to the absurd amount of heat that takes over her entire mouth.

She tried to eat another one but couldn't finish it.After eating half of it,she ended up shouting for water.

Her minions quickly gave her the water bottle and she finished it in one go.

Misha,Simi and most of the students burst into laugh.

Zara nudged Misha and glared at Misha for being so inconsiderate.

"What?She deserve some punishment for always being a badass."Misha said.

"Who are you give her punishment?Moreover, laughing on someone when she's in pain not right at all."Zara retorted.

"Come on,Zara! Don't spoil my mood by giving me moral lecture now."Misha said,annoyed .

"But Misha,you---"Zara paused when Misha brushed her off.

Zara shook her head , disappointedly and let herself focus on the game .

The bottle spun again and the game continued .After a few turns ,it pointed at Zara and Sam got the chance to take her revenge .

"So,Ms.Charity girl.Truth or dare?"Sam asked .

"Erm..."Zara fumbled.

"Let me guess I think you will choose truth as you don't have the guts to do the dare."Sam said and it stirred Zara's ego.

Zara took a deep breath and looked Sam square in the eye, "Dare",she said firmly.

A wicked grin lit up Sams face"Alright .If you dare...then walk 50 step straight in the forest ."Sam said and there was a combined gasp from the group.

"This is nonsense!No way!"Misha interjected.

"Sam,Going into the forest at this hour can be dangerous for her."Kabeer said .

"Umang is right.And we are not supposed to go in the forest at night.Aabir whispered ,"If someone finds out, we are all dead meat."

"How would they know if we won't tell them anything .And it's just a dare.She can refuse if she don't want to.Who's forcing her?"Sam said."Taking a  dare is not her cup of tea,anyway."Sam taunted which hurt Zara's ego.

"I will do it"Zara said, nervous but unwavering. All her friends looked at her in surprise.

"Zara"Simi said, "you don't have to"

"You guys don't worry .I will be fine."Zara reassured her friends who were worrying about her.

Even though Zara didn't need to prove anything to anyone but She had a pride that she wanted to keep .

Aabir was against it but he didn't say much as he has no right on her.It's her life,her wish afterall.

Zara got up and taking a deep she slowly headed towards the forest,leaving her friends in tense.

Zara's skin crawled and uncertainty blossomed in her stomach as she stared at the dense forest that stood before her.She was hell scared but she couldn't back out now.Her pride wouldn't let her give up.

A sudden gust of cold wind blew,making her shiver all over. But she didn't move.Her eyes fixated on the forest.

"You can do it."She repeated in her head before finally vanishing in the dense forest.

Misha wasn't getting a good vibes about this.So she decided to go after Zara and got up .

"Where are you going,Misha?"kabeer asked her.

"I'm going after her.I can't leave her alone."Misha replied ,giving Sam a stern look.

"Come on,Misha! She's not a kid.She just have to walk 50 step straight.It's not that she's gonna lost there.And this is a animal restricted area.No animal is gonna eat her up.So,just chill and enjoy the game."Sam said .

A couple of students supported Sam and asked Misha to not leave in the middle of the game . Eventually Misha listened to them and stayed there.

The game started again and everyone got busy in the game .

But Aabir noticed Sam whispering something into Tina's ear.Sina and Tina left the place right after, avoiding everyone's eye.He felt something fishy and decided to follow them.

"I'm going to sleep .You guys carry on."Aabir said to Kabeer and Umang and walked out from there.

On the other hand in the forest....

"33,34,35,36....."Zara was counting her steps while walking on further into the woods.

Dry leaves were crunching under her weight while everything else was eerily quiet.With each steps,with every move she made,she could feel the forest was moving with her.

In the morning this forest looked beautiful to her .But now in the night the forest was dark and damp,the sky barely visible through the leaves and branches that stuck out of the huge trees.  and the trees swaying in the breeze .The whole environment was scaring the shit out of her, giving her goosebumps.

Suddenly she heard some weird noise as if someone was giggling.

She jumped with fright and spun around.Her eyes scanned the forest in search of something alive but found nothing.Just tall, magnificent trees.

"Hello?"She asked to no one.She wondered if it was actually someone giggling or just her imagination.

She remembered all of the horror movies she had seen that had at least one scene similar to this.She had to admit that it would be a perfect scene for a creepy movie.

'Zara,You need to stop watching horror movies.'She mentally scolded herself.

"There's nothing to be afraid of.Just a few more steps.Stay calm and finish the task."She encouraged herself and continued to walk further.

The giggling came again.This time it was louder and sounded like more than 1 person was giggling.She froze in fear as a cold wind ran through her nerves.

"W-Who is there?"She asked with trembling voice."If you're trying to scare me then let me tell you you're not doing a good job."She warned, thinking that someone was pulling a prank on her.

Then she felt as if something rushed over the dead leaves behind her .She snapped around in hope of catching a glimpse of whatever it was .But there was nothing,no one.

"What's going on here?"She questioned herself aloud.

"ZARA!!!"someone called her name and she jumped ,startled and on edge.

She turned around,her head spinning from side to side in a desperate attempt to find where it originated.

And then she saw something which she'd never imagined in her worst dream.

She saw a women dressed in a white gown standing a few mitre away from her beside a giant tree.

Before she could overcome from this shock, she heard anklets sound behind her and She spun around to see a women dressed in a white sari ,holding a glowing lantern in her hand,walking away .

She turned front but the first woman was nowhere to be seen.She turned behind and the second woman was gone too.

Sheer panic exploded inside her.Zara  screamed in horror and ran into a random direction.She had no idea where she was heading and she didn't care.All she did care about was getting away from whatever she saw.Sprinting over the moist grass as well as jumping in a non graceful manner over roots and rocks that stuck out of the ground,she ran deeper into the forest.

"Job done."a female voice exclaimed,.

"Yes!We did a great act.She is scared to death."another female voice said, bursting into laugh.

[They were none other than Sina and Tina.They did the whole horror act to scare Zara on Sam's command.]

Suddenly Sina stopped laughing ,noticing something out of the corner of her eye.She whipped her head to that direction and froze.

"What is that?"Sina gasped.

Tina followed her gaze and her eyes widened in horror seeing a perfectly round, white light about the size of a softball glowing in the distance .

They started sweating and shaking in fear,clinging to eachother .
