Everyone started to pack. Priya is taking out some clothes from the closet.

Priya: ok bye

Kiran: (coming out) wait, aren't you going to eat something before you go.

Priya: I'll just take a paratha.

Priya walks into the kitchen. Lefts the plate and takes out a paratha.

Kiran: take a napkin

Priya: I know. (kissing her mom on the cheek) ok bye. I call dad in the office.

Kiran: ok have fun.

Priya: (putting her shoe on) I will

Priya puts the rolled up paratha in her mouth. She grabs her bag and heads for the door. Anurag is inside the car, chewing on his nail, looking straight. Priya walks up to the car and knock on the window. Anurag turn and opens the door. Priya throws her bags to the back and gets in. she takes a bite of the paratha. Anurag drives away.

Priya: (after swallow the bite) You know that biting your nail is bad for health.

Anurag: I wasn't biting I was chewing

Priya: (grabs his hand, showing him his nail) you were biting.

Anurag: that part of the nail ripped off

Priya: (letting go) yeah right.

Priya and Anurag arrive at Mitesh house.  Mitesh is outside, Priya and Anurag get out of the car and go to the back seat to get they stuff, so they could put it in Mitesh car.

Priya: (putting her stuff in the back of the expedition) Where's Manisha?

Mitesh: Don't know they late.

Anurag: Actually there they are.

Pritem pulls up to Mitesh driveway.

Arjun (coming out of the car) Sorry for being late, Manisha couldn't decided on a hair style to do.

Manisha: (taking out her bag) look who's talking the person who was in front of the mirror for an hour.

Pritem, Arjun, Manisha grab they stuff and puts it Mitesh's car. Everyone gets in. Mitesh get into the driver seat, Anurag in the passenger seat, Priya behind Mitesh and Arjun behind Anurag in the middle. Pritem sits behind Arjun and Manisha sits behind Priya in the back. Mitesh begins to drive. After a couple of minutes.

Priya: (calling her dad) hello papa, we're left.

Anil: When will you be back.

Priya: maybe at the end of the week.

Anil: ok have fun. Call when you get there.

Priya: ok bye dad (cuts the phone)

Manisha: Priya, you're going to love the house and the scenery it just to dead for.

Priya: Really! I can't wait.

Arjun: Anyways you know that Anurag house is haunted.

Priya: Yeah like I'm going to believe you.

Arjun: I didn't say that you should believe me. I was just informing you.

Anurag: It's not haunted it just that before I bought it someone died there. A guy around his 20's.

Priya: How did he die?

Anurag: (turning to look at Priya) this is what the representative of the house told me. The guy who lived there was Mohan Gupta. Mohan was home alone that night, mostly he lives with a roommate, but he went to visit his family. Anyways, he was upstairs when he heard something break, like a glass or something. When he came down he saw 5 people trying to steal some of his stuff. He quietly walks upstairs to call the cops, but one of the robbers saw him going up and told the others. While Mohan was dialing the number all the robbers came behind him and brutally murdered him. There wasn't even one part of his body that didn't stab. Some say that they all watched him die. Whenever they thought he was breathing they would stab him. Another said that, until they weren't positive that he was died, they kept stabbing and stabbing him. But after he died they took the body and kept dipping the body in the water, I think to clean it off. Then there took the body and hung it on the tree in the back of the house. After a couple of days his friend return and saw dry blood leading from the front door to the masses amount of dry blood on the floor of Mohan's room, he called the cops. They made an investigation, but didn't find anything. The only thing there found were proof that there were 6 people which was including Mohan and that they took his body to the lake next to the house and found him hanging on the tree. The weird thing is that the robbers didn't take anything. So Mohan's friend sold the house. This guy brought it but then moved to Mumbai. After that my parents brought it when I was 18. But there's no sign of any ghost, so you don't have to worry.

Priya begins feeling sick to her stomach.

Priya: (holding her stomach) stop the car

Mitesh: what?

Priya: Stop the car

Mitesh stops the car. Priya jumps out and ran to the side of the road and begins to throw-up. Everyone gets out and walks towards Priya. Manisha runs to Priya.

Manisha: (holding on to her) Priya you ok

Priya: (shaking her head) yeah water

Manisha: Mitesh you have water

Anurag: yeah I do.

Anurag grabs and begins to search his nap-shack. Anurag throws the bottle of water at Priya. Priya rinses her mouth and spits out the water. She drinks some water and washes her face. Everyone walks towards the car. Mitesh puts his hand on Priya's head.

Mitesh: You ok

Priya: yeah

Mitesh slides his hand of her head.

Anurag: sorry I shouldn't have told you

Priya: It was just the thought of someone dying like that. (Unable to make an expression)

Mitesh was about to walk into the driver seat.

Anurag: I'll drive

Mitesh: ok

Anurag goes to the driver seat Mitesh to the passenger. Priya sits behind Mitesh, Manisha sits behind Anurag, Pritem sits behind Priya, and Arjun sits behind Manisha. Priya puts her head to the side to rest and looks across at Anurag, who is chewing on his nails.

Priya both ways it's bad for your health.

Anurag: how is it bad?

Priya: there are germs in your nail and then they go in your mouth.              '

Anurag: that's why they invented mouthwash.

Priya: yeah when you eat they go into you stomach.

Anurag: that's why we have antibodies, sweetie.

Arjun: Yo I came here for a vacation not a health lesson.

Manisha: just put on some song.
