I woke up around 5 am, I parted the curtain to have a glance out and the sky was hazy, with cool breeze blowing over the earth. I rejuvenated myself then, I resolute to dart towards Second Floor to know, what's stored in my fate? I sneaked towards my expedition, I opened the knob without making the creaking sound of the door, I felt like someone is following me, I looked back, and seize my phone from my pyjama pocket, and lighting the mobile torch, there was no one but a creepy silence of darkness staring at me. I jogged towards the room and shut the door behind me; I leaned my back against the door and gasped out. The room was filled with scary darkness, my mobile flashlight was on and I hit at the direction of the chair, I walked towards it and plopped on the chair. I repeated my yesterday's deed, then I began to shuffle the cards, but to my horror I only got Death Card again. This time the skull was slightly tilted right, it had a crack running horizontally above forehead and, adjoining it was a crack running vertically and symmetrically running up to the top of skull, it gave me a malignant grin. My fingers were running numb, I again tried to scuffle the cards again and then cut it into three piles and placed on the deck, I gasp out, rubbing my hands, I picked a card and again the same heist was repeated, The card was a Death Card and, this time, the Skull and its body was fully clad with the apparel of an Emperor with a diamond studded crown placed on the head, sitting on a Huge Throne made of Gold, holding a Royal Specter with right hand upright and the left hand rested on the arms of Throne, it had a malignant smile spread over. The room around me grew unnaturally cold, I felt the shivers on my spine and suddenly the room around me began to blur, I rubbed my eyes and shook my head hard, but my vision become blurry and my eyes involuntarily shut down, where only the darkness existed.

The room was dark, and I saw Women in front of me; she wore a blue gown having a blonde curly hair with a square face and emerald eyes, she was smiling with her eyes glittering. Then her eyes became narrow and her beautiful face became pale, she was raising her hands towards me, and shouting for help but her voice didn't come out, only water bubbles were gurgling out of her mouth and nose, it seems that she was drowning. I knew she need aid, I ran towards her, but she was going farther, something was pulling her back, I shouted that, I am coming don't worry but, when I move ahead, she was pushed back. Then all of sudden, I saw clawed hands coming out of dark, I couldn't see, who was holding her. The hands were having sharp clawed nails which were covered by green mist. The nails dug into her shoulders, her eyes grew wild with horror and wider with fear. The clawed hands pulled her and sucked her into the dark, I could only hear the shrilling cry of her which was hair rising and it boomed the room. The shrieking voice of the woman shook the house to its very foundation; I felt like someone is watching me from the darkness, and then I saw many glinting green eyes, similar to the creatures of the night, they were staring at me and the eyes seem to move towards me step by step, and then all of the sudden, it vanished in the thin air.

I opened my eyes, the room was clear. I was sitting on chair, and I looked around, there was a subtle silence, sweat began to pour from my brow and then I got up from chair. I was trembling with fear, and I packed the card and placed in the drawer. I tread softly holding the banister and went to my room and closed the door, "Now What!"What is the meaning of this? Now how many deaths are there waiting on row to happen." I exclaimed to myself. I wanted to know the meaning of my vision, but it was vague, I sat on the bed with hands clasped together. That day at dining table, Sable told me that, she wants to plan a marriage for me and she may find a suitable fiancé for me. I protested and told her that, I didn't have any plan for marriage right now, and when we were having this talk over the breakfast, at that time, Torrie was serving the food, her face grew insipid, and she darted towards the kitchen. I didn't like Sable interfering in my personal space; however, I couldn't blurt it out to her or she may get hurt. When Sable went to her room, I met Torrie at kitchen, I placed my hand on her shoulder and swung her towards me, her eyes were watery, and the hot drops were sloping down her beautiful cheeks. She didn't meet my eyes and was gazing down sobbing silently; I lifted her chin and wiped her watery eyes, and holding her on arms length. I explained that, I don't have any plan to run on the path of Sable, and if anything happens, I will take my firm decision and will not back down, and I will marry only you and that's my Oath.

She stopped sobbing and slowly like a glowing full moon, her face blossomed, I pulled her cheek gently and cuddled her, I told her about my expedition at study room yesterday and today morning. Torrie was in horror; she raised her hand to cover her mouth. I told her about the description of the women, Torrie rubbed her chin as she knew about the women, but she can't recollect, with who does the woman resembles. She said in trembling voice, "I told you there is something wrong in this place; I don't know how I made my five years here? She squeezed me and said, "Let's get out from here; I don't want to stay here anymore and I will come with you, wherever you take me." I wrapped her tightly and assured that, I will take her with me to the city and I knew that, I will surely take her city.

Torrie and I were about the face the horror of this house very soon.
