Mike shouted and left the room instantly but he was stucked as there is no room for an escape for him.

"Fred!!". Mike shouted as he tried to jolt him back to his senses but all to no avail.

Fred's face had already turned pale.

Mike stood transfixed as he gazed at his friend who was gradually transforming into a beast right before his eyes.

Huuurlll!!

Came the noise from Fred as he tried to get closer to Mike.

Mike took to his heels. He didn't know where to run to as all the doors were locked and the windows were up to no good, they only lead to another part of the house.

"What am I going to do". Mike said with a shaky voice as he stood before the entrance door. He held the door by its old and outdated handle and began to drag it.

He tried everything within his power to open the door but all to no avail.

He exclaimed as he stood up.and left without replacing the woods that he had removed from the hole back, leaving only two light ones to protect it."I am going to rip your soul out once I am out of here!!". Shouted the evil spirit again from the hole where it was trapped to Mike.Mike moved away from the spot as soon as he regained his senses."What just happened". He asked himself amid bewilderment." ha ha ha!". The spirit laughed again from where it was trapped, obviously mocking Mike for his almost failure.Mike got up immediately from the floor.

Mike shouted as soon as the light went off.Everywhere was once again covered with thick darkness. He was a bit terrified. Throughout his stay in the building, there had been no atom of breeze and the only one he could recall was the mysterious wind that licked the door as soon as they stepped inside the cursed building."Hello". He said in a whispery tone to himself as he stretched forth his hands in the darkness to locate his lantern.Since he dropped it on the floor, he had to use his kegs to locate it as he could not see a single thing in the room. The only thing he could feel and know where it was was his own body.After banging his feet at many objects in the room, he was finally able to locate his lantern.He raised it up and opened it.

A heavy downpour began, at first it was mild and gentle but with time it intensified and Mike was so happy as he began to dance in the rain.The roof had many openings and so it served as a pathway for the water drops to come inside the house.Fred on his own part had been free of the evil spirit that was tormenting him.He remained on the floor after his manifestation. He was feeling so weak and helpless. He couldn't even move his hands.He just laid there confused of the while event.

    "You noticed it right?". Mike asked."Yes, it was as if some dark energy had departed from it. Come on, this was not how it looked like when we came initially". Fred said as his eyes kept wandering the entire room."I mean it has become more beautiful. It now looked a place, inhabited by normal entities. You know what I mean right?". Fred asked looking surprised at the whole scenario.The light from the sky can be clearly seen forcing its way inside the room, thereby illuminating it in a great way.The light looked like a rainbow as it shines brightly on the rays reflecting in the room."Wow, look at that, it so beautiful". Fred said as he pointed at the colourful rays of light reflecting in the room."Yes, they are beautiful but that's not the reason why I brought you here". Said Mike to Fred. "Yes, I almost forgot you wanted to tell me how you managed to get things done". Replied Fred as he leaned closer to where Mike is."What is it, why did you brought me here". Asked Fred."Loo

Fred shouted in happiness and in awe. They didn't expect the door to be opened."Are you sure this door hadn't been open all this while we are in this house?". Mike asked still looking surprised.Fred looked at him in disbelief."I think the words you read back ways simply meant that we had been liberated and that every curse placed in this house and on us are all cancelled. I think that is one of the reason why thus door had opened". Said Fred as he tried to suggest what might be the cause."I think that's true. You hit it right!, that means that we succeeded?". Mike asked looking all excited."Of course we won!". Fred replied in excitement, returning the energy.Both of them were excited and hugged each other once more."Let's go out before it gets locked up again".

    "Wait what is that sound". Asked Mike."Please just ignore it, I am still tired.Mike got up from his seat to know what was that."Are you sure you heard something?, let it not be a prank because I still needed to rest". Replied Fred looking indifferent. He doesn't are about any sound, he just needed to regain his energy."Wait I think I heard a roar, just like that of a lion". Said Mike as he stood up, listening attentively to know whether if he could hear the sound again."What?, a roar?. No there can't be a lion here in this forest. Yes I agree that its a forest but still its not that big to accommodate something as deadly as a lion. Come on, let's just rest a bit, okay?". Said Fred to Mike ejo was still standing."Come on, sit down, you are scaring me with the way you are standing and listening to what is not there". Fred said again as he began to pull Mike down with his hands, signalling him to seat down again beside him."No, I think I am okay like this. I don't want to seat".
