Chapter 5
NK sped through the living room and up the stairs towards Malcom and Jenna's room. NK was in the middle singing out loudly, "Miy Namee is Sheila...*breath* *breath*...Sheila kea Jawani...*breath*...woo...I'm too seexy foor yooou" He just wanted to make the atmosphere lighter with a good song, make the ghost aware of the fact that he, NK, wasn't scared.
As NK reached the door, he started knocking fiercely. After five, six knocks NK was scared. What if Lady Ghost had already done something? Lady Ghost? Yes, Lady Ghost! NK wanted to be in her good books.
Oh No!! NK's knocks got even louder and what seemed like ages, a sleepy and irritated Malcom opened the door before giving NK a weird look.
"What are you doing doing here at this time?" Malcom questioned as Jenna walked towards Malcom from behind and stood next to him, looking equally irritated by getting disturbed right in the middle of the night.
NK raised his eyesbrows before quickly grabbing both of their hands in his as he remembered Arnav's words to hurry up. "I'm yoor (your) guidee, I can doo ainytheeng (anything)!".
*******************
Khushi wrapped Kate's one arm around her shoulders and Arnav did the same to the other arm, they both supported Kate up who was already half unconcious. Arnav and Khushi half lifted, half dragged her towards the door of the kitchen and to the living room.
Khushi and Arnav laid Kate on one of the couches in the middle of the Living Room and looked up at the first floor corridor. They could see NK dragging the couple down with him. Arnav shook his head and sighed, this man!
Malcom and Jenna were totally confused by the time they reached downstairs. They looked around to find Arnav and Khushi sitting together on a couch and on the couch next to their's laid Kate, who looked unconcious and in a very messed, weak state.
Jenna walked up to Kate, worriedly and Malcom took a seat on the single sofa opposite Kate and Jenna.
"What the hell's happening? And why is Kate unconcious and where is her husband, Jake?" Jenna shooted her questions straight and Malcom nodded, agreeing with her.
"Ummm...this might sound weird but this mansion is actually haunted..." Khushi started hesitantly and paused to look at shocked and confused faces of the couple. She sighed, this was gonna be hard.
*******************
Meanwhile, NK had skipped across the living room to his room. Thankfully, his room was on the same floor and if he kept the door open, which he obviously did, he could see the living room from his room. Hurriedly walking over to his cupboard NK got his luggage bag out and started going through his stuff. Clothes - No, Magazines - No, Camera - No, Macthsticks - No, Boots - No, Hats - No, Protection Thread - Yes, Jellybeans - No Toilet Roll - Noo, Ahhh finally, Tour Guide Stuff - Yes. NK quickly got the folder out and after tying the protection thread around his wrist,he rushed out of the his room. On reaching the living room he heard Khushi narrating the horrible incident to Malcom and Jenna and NK silently went and sat next to Arnav who in turn gave NK a surprised/Why-The-Heck-Are-You-Sitting-Here?!? Look, to which NK replied with an innocent/offended look. Arnav shook his head and shifted his attention back to Khushi before holding Khushi's hand tightly and squeezing it reassuringly. Khushi gave Arnav a sweet smile before finishing off the story, leaving Malcom and Jenna's mouth opened wide and eyeballs popping out.
Malcom fearfully gulped, "I did hear some shouts for help but later they stopped so I didn't really bother getting up". Jenna nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, NK pass me the 'Information On This Tour, Guide Book', its time to solve this unknown ghost's mystery" Arnav said as he took a bunch of papers stappled together from NK.
"What The Hell?!" Arnav cursed out as he flipped through all the pages just to find them all blank.
"What is this?!?" Arnav held up the papers and was just about to shove them in NK's face when he saw a drop of blood drop outta no where on the sheet and then spread itself around before some words started forming out of that blood.
Arnav's eyes went wide and looking at him everyone started lifting up from there seats to have a look at what surprised Arnav so much. When they took a peak at it, all the doubts vanished from their minds about the spirit. There IS a spirit wandering in this house!
Arnav slowly started reading the contents of the paper, "Eighty years back The Vinci family had owned this mansion. It was posh family which consisted of three siblings and their parents. Mr and Mrs Vinci were one of the richest families in the whole village. This mansion was built in the ancient times and generations of the Vinci family had owned it, it was passed down to the children. The parents and the two older brothers, Richard and Parker and the younger sister, Elizabeth were never on good terms from the start. There were always fights on every thing that ever came into this mansion, though the children got whatever they wanted, they always were lacked of love which they didn't mind. As they got older, the sibling's relation just got worse until one day when Elizabeth unknowingly tumbled over the long lost jewels of the Vinci family in the hidden basement. Elizabeth had found that secret basement once when she had gone into the actual basement to get the gardening tools for the garden and had found a door leading to this secret muddy part of the basement which was more like a little tunnel. However, Elizabeth never told anything about those jewels except her diary. A week later, Richard and Parker had gone into Elizabeth's room to prank her but had unfortunately read her diary and found out about the secret. They had decided to team up with Mr and Mrs Vinci to get that treasure found but they could never find that secret door. They had tried many times to confront Elizabeth but being adamant she had never told them anything. The news of the treasure had spread like wild fire amongst the greedy people of the village. One fine night, the villagers had barged in the mansion at the middle of the night, the family had been scared by the villager's threats to tell them about the jewels but the family choosing the easy way out had pointed towards Elizabeth. They had told the villagers that only Elizabeth knew about the exact location of the treasure and they had been unsuccessful in finding it. The family had made their way out of this problem at the cost of Elizabeth, they had handed her over to the villagers and left the village themselves, forever. That night, Elizabeth had been tortured a lot but she had still refused to tell them the whereabouts of the treasure. Eventually, she was beaten up to death, she died believing that the treasure only belonged to her. After the next day, one by one the whole of the Vinci family had died mysteriously in terrific accidents until they were all finished. A week later, the whole of the village was destroyed by a wild fire, no one knew the cause of it and no one had survived to find it out. Now, its believed that anyone who enters that mansion is believed to be trying to steal Elizabeth's treasure by Elizabeth's spirit. And out of revenge with all the greedy people she finishes everyone like she did before, no one survives...NO ONE!!" Finished Arnav looking around at the horrid faces of every single person present in the room.
