Escaping the Haunted ForestA Chapter by RidhwanulI think for the past hour we have been running but yet we are not out of the forest. Our inhaling and exhaling was so loud that someone from 1 km away could hear us. "Uncle, how long we have to run? We have be running for one hour." my cousin Tarif said. "I don't know, we don't have our guide, and I don't know the way. What can we do?" Masud uncle panicked. "The problem is that there is no network, and it is impossible to inform anyone." my cousin Akram said. "I wish there was someone to help us." my cousin sister Happy said. "What should we do now?" my brother asked. "Hey, everybody quiet. I can listen something." I said. "Its footsteps. Someones coming here." I could clearly hear that there were footsteps and it was fast and slowly it was coming closer. "Hey! Anybody out there." shouted my cousin Taher. "I think its Mr. Jaber, our guide." my sister shouted in delight. I don't know why, but maybe she thought that our guide was coming to help us. "Boom! AAAAAAAAAAAA" a sudden shout from a far distance was heard. It was a voice of a lady. "RUN!" shouted Masud uncle shouted in fright, and once again we started to run for our life. I was just thinking, that if you just keep on running like this, what if we never get out of this place. We never came, and no body will come to rescue us. Why would anybody, because they would take us as dead. I kept on praying for help, as I was running. I was usually falling behind because of me being fat, I was feeling that something was following us. Once again, when we could only hear our breath and nothing else, we stopped for some moment to rest. "Uncle, how the hell do we even get out of here?" my cousin Tarif asked. "I don't know. I don't know anything." he panicked. "Hey, look there, is it some kind of light." shouted my cousin Sunny. Not much far, we could see a glow of light. We thought it maybe some help, so we ran toward it. As soon we reached there we saw an old man, but he had no light in his hand, and the moment we reach there, it was dark again. "Hello, we were here for a trip, but we have lost our way, could you tell us the way out of the forest?" my cousin Akram asked the old man. "What are you doing here? Why did you come to this place? Don't you know this forest is haunted by the evil jinns? Come with me I will show you the way out." the old man said. He was wearing a long white dress which reached up till his ankle. The moment I saw his face, I felt like I saw him some where, I couldn't remember where, but I remember I saw him, but I just didn't know was that the right time to ask it, for which I did not ask. "We did hear that, this place was haunted by the ghoul of the old owner of the castle, but we did not believe that. But now it seems that this place is really haunted. A lot of thing happened with us.A lot, that is why we decided to leave." my cousin Tarek said about it to the old man. "It is haunted, but not by the ghoul of the old owner, but with some evil jinns. Whom I believe were the one who killed the old owner?" "What do you mean?" my cousin Taher asked. "Yes, it was some evil jinns who came as an appearance of human, and killed the old owner." "Why did they kill him? What was their benefit?" asked my cousin Shuyeb. "That old owner had power to catch evil jinns." he said. "What the!" "From that time, if anyone came in this place, those jinns would harm them and won't let them stay here, either they kill them, or they would force them to leave." "So, why the hack are you here? What if they haunt you?" I asked. "I can't leave this place." "Why not?" I asked back. "Ah! Here we were, this is my territory, I can't go any more, you keep on walking, soon there will be Fajr's Azan, and there will be a masjid, there will be people, you can take help from them." he just changed the topic. "Oh! Thanks a lot, you helped us so much." my cousin, Akram thanks a lot. "Now leave, they will be searching for you." "Why don't you come? They will be also searching for you." my brother said. "I will, but not now." he said and left for the other way. He was again going inside the forest. © 2013 RidhwanulAuthor's Note
