Chapter 5 - The One Who Stayed

The ghost got scared when he saw the paperweight coming toward him. The paperweight passed straight through him.

The boy (spirit) became angry. The room's temperature suddenly dropped. The sweat on the three of them felt frozen like ice. In front of them, the spirit stood with widened eyes, filled with anger. The boy (spirit) spoke angrily…

Boy (Spirit):

"(Angrily) Are you trying to kill me?"

Ayaan, trembling with fear, spoke…

Ayaan:

"(Frightened) Gh… gh… ghost bro, you are al… already dead… right?"

Boy (Spirit):

"That's true (angrily), but I still have feelings."

Rishabh:

"(Scared) So… so… sorry bro, they are idiots. Sorry."

While saying this, Rishabh slaps Ayaan on the head.

Seeing this, the boy (spirit) starts laughing loudly. Then Pankaj gathers courage and speaks…

Pankaj:

"(Loudly) We are tired of being scared. What do you want from us? If you want to kill us, then just do it!"

As soon as Pankaj says this, the boy (spirit) stops laughing and stares at them intensely.

Seeing the ghost angry, Ayaan and Rishabh start kicking and slapping Pankaj. While beating him, they say…

Ayaan & Rishabh:

"(Beating Pankaj) You unlucky idiot! If you're so eager to die, we'll kill you ourselves! It's because of you that we came through that road!"

Seeing the three of them fighting among themselves, the spirit starts laughing again and says while laughing…

Boy:

"(Laughing) You guys are really funny. Seriously."

After some time, the three calm down. Controlling their fear a little, they decide to talk to him. So they push their "brave" brother Pankaj forward. Pankaj speaks…

Pankaj:

"What is your name?"

Boy (Spirit):

"I don't know."

Ayaan & Rishabh:

"(Shocked) Whaa… aaaaaa?"

Pankaj:

"Where are you from?"

Boy (Spirit):

"(Angrily) I told you, I don't remember…"

Seeing him angry, Rishabh gets scared and slaps Pankaj while saying…

Rishabh:

"Sorry bro, he's crazy."

Ayaan:

"Then why are you following us?"

Boy (Spirit):

"Because you three are the only ones who can see me."

All three together:

"Why only us?"

Boy (Spirit):

"How would I know…"

Rishabh:

"(Scared) Then bro, please find someone else. Leave us alone…"

Boy (Spirit):

"No. I will stay here… with all of you."
