Chapter 17: chapter 17

Back to reality something was really wrong. I couldn't keep the novel down, but still I had to solve things in my family. I kept the book on my table and went out to see mom. As I walked till the living room, I could see everything messed up, the sofa wasn't in its place, the books on rack were misplaced and dried droplets of blood were fallen on the floor. What had happened to whom? I was confused. I could see uncle coming out of the room, wiping his hair casually, with a towel. He was wearing long black pyjamas and no T-shirt. I kept staring at him, uh... You all know my obsession for oldies. After the staring session, he looked up at me and said, “Rue? What just happened here? Blood? And scattered books?" “Shut up! You oldie I too don't know about all this... I was reading a novel and ... I slept, woke, and  came across all this."~ Rue.“Lets find out babe."~ Uncle Royce. I nodded and went behind him. We began searching the whole, house. No one could be seen around neither mom nor dad. I was getting cold, my hands and legs felt icy. I was feeling restless and anxiety overtook me. I began crying while uncle searched for clues, he found aunt Maria lifeless in the kitchen. Aunty was our neighbour in her late sixties. I didn't know why she entered our house in the first place. Mom came near the door with her hair totally messy and her night gown on. Dad was missing and mom was bewildered. Suddenly my alarm clock rang again and I woke. Again from a dream to dream. I couldn't take it. An evil thing was running all around and I was very sad. It was again the problem of sleep paralysis. I never knew I would contact that silly problem out of all such pain I endure in my daily life. My restless mind wanted a good break a very nice vacation with uncle, or may be a little star gazing time with him on our lovely terrace.
