The mysterious village

The day was dull and gloomy but for some reason the people in a certain village were very pompous. They were celebrating something with great fervor. The village was not big but the houses were very close to each other.

At the centre of the village there was a pretty well kept mansion , which was quite out of place for a village , but if one looks from a certain height they will notice that the setting of village is very tricky where houses at outskirts are broken and run down and as one starts moving towards its centre, the condition of houses starts improving from faded to eye catching and then to grand.

In the mansion of the village the atmosphere was even more lively. Several well dressed and important looking people were sitting or standing in the hall. At the raised platform of the hall there was a good looking man with blond hair and fair face which was chiseled . The man was sitting there observing his vicinity with care free look but tremendous joy can be sensed in his blue eyes as if he has won the world.

Suddenly some disturbances could be heard outside the hall. The man frowned and said to one of his guards in a authoritative voice " who dares disturb my happy time? Go check it." The guard moved immediately to resolve the problem.

Few moments later several footsteps approached the hall. The guard was seen leading a group towards the raised platform with a tensed face. " What is it?" demanded the man. The guard looked reluctant at first but after looking at the irritated look of his boss he said " Great setate prom we found just now that someone killed one of our men and threw him in the village outskirts..." The look on the man's face changed from irritated to intrigued ' Who dares go against me now ? ' thought the man ." Who died?" the man asked aloofly . The guard became even more tensed as sweet can be seen pouring down his face continuously." Great setate .... urrh..he was th...the ... ju.. junior setate le..Leonard" The man's face darkened as if someone painted his face with charcoal.He lunged out of his chair and grabbed the color of the guard, lifting him in air few inches from ground before demanding " what did you say leo is dead ?who did it ?Tell me who did it?". The guard was shivering all over and answered chokingly " massster we do... don't know yeet please hafe mercy" The man threw the guard some distance away." Use all resources and find out Who did this ....or I'll kill all of you."

The people in the hall were terrified when they sensed the murdurous aura of the man.A frail lady from the group whom the guard has brought came forward shivering and extended her hand towards the man " master we got this letter alongside the body" " What is it in it?" " I ...I didn't che.....check." The man snatched the letter from her hand and tore the seal open taking out the paper to look what is written.

The darkened face of the man lost all his colour all of a sudden. His demeanor changed to a frightened puppy and he started shaking with a pale face . The people in the hall were confused as to what was in the letter that their evil master is so frieghtend. As everyone was confused, the letter dropped from the shivering hands of the man and reached to the feet of the guard who was now kneeling.

The words on the letter registered in guards mind he bagan twitching in horror,his nose and ears started bleeding due to intense pressure."He.....he is not dead....he didn't die ...the devil is alive" saying this the guards eyes bulged as his heart failed to work he vomited and then died on the spot. The whole hall fail silent. The silence was of their approaching horrible death.
