666 (2) Arnav was baffled on seeing a huge lock on the door with lots of mascots being tied on the lock with religious inscriptions on them. He was examining those mascots and suddenly there was a thud sound from the other side of the door as if someone was kicking the door from inside. Arnav thought he was hallucinating and began searching on Google the meanings of the inscriptions on the mascots and again came the sound of hitting the door. (Read full in caption) This scared Arnav and he went 2 steps behind and shouted who was inside, but no reply came; he again shouted the same question but still no response. After a few minutes, there was a mild ruffled sound from the other side of the door. Arnav went near the door, tried to look through the small hole in the door, he was staring behind the door for few minutes and after that, he took a hefty rock and removed all the mascots, and started hitting the lock on the door. After 3-4 minutes, the lock broke up and there was a flash of thunder lightning in the clear night sky and suddenly it started raining heavily. As Arnav began to open the door, the door opened with a squeaking sound and the wind started running at a rapid pace. When he fully opened the door, it seemed like he was not in his senses for his eyes had turned Blue but how could it happen, as he had brown eyes. After a few minutes, his knees started wobbling and he fell on the door and went unconscious. The next morning, he woke up when the sun was shining bright on his face and as he woke up, he wasn’t able to remember what had happened last night and why was he sleeping on the ground. As he stood up, he saw that the men of the village have surrounded him; holding sticks in their hands and were looking menacingly at Arnav. This scared Arnav for he was frightened out of his wits. Before he could speak, the village elder shouted orders to the others in the native language which Arnav wasn’t able to understand. Two men went behind him and held him with their bare hands, Arnav tried to free himself but his efforts were looking feeble in front of them and as all the village men raised their sticks to hurt Arnav, they heard a very loud scream of ladies near the river bank. All of them run towards the river bank and as they reached there, they saw that the faces of the women had turned white, for their bodies were shivering, their voices were choked. The village men asked them what happened, to which they pointed their fingers towards the river. When they looked at the river, their eyes went wide open, for the water of the whole river was red due to blood and the corpses of the dead birds were flowing in the river. They started murmuring- “She’s back, she’s back” and turned their attention towards the village elder to seek a piece of advice, but even he was standing there like a statue, with his eyes transfixed on the Ficus tree, on which a message was written in a sign language with bare nails. Arnav took the picture of the message via the phone scanner for he wanted to know what was the meaning of the message and as the scanning was complete, he read it aloud- “Death will come on swift wings and it’s the beginning of the end”.
