Ismah: slams the car door “We’re here. No turning back now.”

Sakshi: staring at the mansion “Are you serious? This place looks cursed.”

Tanishka: trembling “I don’t want to be here. It feels... wrong.”

Shreya: shrugs “You’re all being dramatic. Ghosts aren’t real.”

Ismah: “Let’s go find out. We didn’t drive all this way for nothing.”

They step inside. The door creaks shut behind them.

Sakshi: nervously “Why is it so cold in here? This place is giving me the creeps.”

Pari: softly “It feels like... like something’s watching us.”

Tanishka: whispers “What if we’re not alone?”

A loud bang echoes from upstairs. Everyone freezes.

Shreya: “That was definitely not just the house settling. What the hell was that?”

Ismah: grinning “Ghosts don’t scare me. Let’s go check it out.”

They slowly make their way upstairs. The floorboards creak under their weight. Another bang. Then... whispers.

Tanishka: panicking “I don’t want to do this anymore. I want to go home!”

Shafiya: hushed “I... I think it’s too late for that.”

The door at the end of the hallway swings open on its own. The air grows colder.

Ismah: without hesitation “We came here for answers. We’re finishing this.”

They enter the dark room. Suddenly, the door slams shut behind them. The whispers grow louder.

Sakshi: “What the hell is happening? We can’t get out!”

Out of the shadows, a figure materializes. Its eyes glow as it steps forward.

Voice: “You shouldn’t have come.”

The lights flicker. The group gasps as the pressure in the room thickens.

Shreya: whispering “We’re not leaving. Are we?”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WB0yEdiZ0

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT1Isgtf01

The figure suddenly stops. It speaks in a calmer tone.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYWGUpQBas

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3VnkAK8Kx

Voice: “Wait. You are not like the others. You see the truth, don’t you?”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZueNEvebnG

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIqQxTvtuJ

Ismah: eyes narrowing “What truth? Why are we here?”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPq2RbXgl9

The figure pauses, then slowly steps closer.

Voice: “This house... it calls those who are brave enough to seek. You are the ones who can break the curse. The spirits here... they can’t move on until you do.”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdV7xtHdWg

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQfB8icRlh

The air shifts, the darkness receding slightly. The house feels... less oppressive.

Shafiya: “So, we’re supposed to help? How?”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf9q0M2SDp

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsQAr7QMZa

Voice: smiling faintly “By letting go. By breaking the chains of fear. You must choose—leave now, or help free us from this prison.”

Ismah looks around at her friends. One by one, they nod, even Tanishka.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeCpk7BhGw

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos4jx8AZqT

Ismah: stepping forward “We’re in this together. Let’s end it.”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7E7EDn9cJ

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR8HP67CBQ

The figure slowly raises its hand, and the door to the room creaks open on its own. The oppressive feeling lifts completely, leaving a quiet peace in its wake. The group steps outside, the house behind them now still, quiet, and no longer threatening.

Tanishka: exhaling “Did we... did we really do it?”

Sakshi: grinning “We did. And I’m never doing anything like this again.”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Efbl5MUD

As they walk away from the mansion, the wind stirs behind them, but this time, it’s gentle. The curse has been broken. They can finally leave in peace.
