Chapter 39 Fear

• Bone chilling scream startled me in my pace, made me think twice before my leg dared to step forward in its direction. I was walking towards that dark pitched staircase with my hesitant steps. Drumming of my heartbeat was roaring in my ears, but still I was taking steps toward that large brown door whose metal was shining in the dandling bulb over it. I was staring at it standing over the staircase, thinking should I knock or not. But the thought of that scream made me walk down and stand in front of that door.
• Something is really wrong with this mansion. My suspicion was getting stronger and stronger. That door opened with a screeching noise as I raised my hand to knock, startled me, and took a few steps back immediately. One black dressed heavily muscular man came out holding a blank expression over his face and closed the room instantly without letting me take a look inside.
• “What’s happening there?” I questioned boldly, without thinking twice. He mumbled something in Italian, holding his finger over his ear, staring at me, and nodded.
