(scream!!)
Ros!!
Rosita was her only friend. Right from high school, she had never left her side whatever the situation maybe. Julia just can't bear her years of pure bond disappearing right in front of her eyes.
She started running until she reached Rosita's home. Rosita's parents welcomed her with a bright smile. She was in a dilemma whether to explain the situation to Ros's parents or not.
Even if she explained, she wasn't sure whether they will believe it or not. With lots of frustration and fear, she entered their house.
"Come out of your dark nest Ros ! Someone's here to see you!", Rosita's mom informed. "Tell Juli to come up here mom!", she shouted back. Even though Julia was a little confused she was happy to hear Rosita's voice again.
"This girl has no manners! please don't mind her sweet heart!", Rosita's mom said with a disappointed face. Julia nodded her head as she ran up through the stairs with a bright smile.
She reached Rosita's room. Rosita was standing beside a wooden chair holding a beer bottle. Julia hugged her as soon as she entered the room and started crying.
"Oh Juli ! you're such a sweet bestie ! The one who got dumped is me but you're crying instead. This must be the sole meaning of soulmates. Ha ha ha ha... I am very happy now Juli. Even if my dumb boyfriends leave me, I still have you, my lovely girl!", Rosita hugged her back.
"Ros ! you're drunk! Come sit here first." Both sat on the bed. "How did you escape from that black hand..? that black smoke..? What exactly happened ? Did you see someone with blue eyes? Common answer me Ros!", Julia shook Rosita hardly.
"Black ? Ah....! Yes! He was a black hole swallowing all my time, energy and money. That ugly beggar. He just don't deserve my love !"
"What ? Who are you talking about ? Ros can you explain clearly?", Julia questioned Rosita. "Yesterday, Harry dumped me. So right from yesterday night, I never left my room. I stayed all day here reverberating my good grief", Rosita said in a low tone.
"Really? But Ros..", Julia stopped as she thought may be Ros forgot everything. She doesn't want to remind her anything. "Better be it", Julia thought to herself. She sat for a while and hugged Rosita for one last time and left her house.
On the way, many questions kept circling through her mind, "Is Ros lying ? Wait.. Why would she even hide it from me? Or.. Did she really forgot everything? May be that black smoke did all these things. I am sure that it was Ros who hung out with me today. So she must have been hypnotized to a point where she forgot everything. Then.. who saved her? oh god ! Can anyone in this world clear my head!!!,"Julia yelled as she entered a barbecue restaurant.
There, he was sitting, waiting for her. Even from the back view she could recognize that black attire. So she turned silently to run but he sensed her presence already.
"Aren't you curious?", he asked in a high tone and smirked again. She could feel that smile even though he covered his face. Julia took a deep breath and decided to clear her head today whatever it takes. She went inside and sat with him.
"Can you answer my questions mister?", she asked in a polite way. "It's already time. Let's go work!" He started moving. "Work ? what kind of damn work are we going to do at this moonless night ?
Aren't you worried that people will mistake us for ghosts if they see us ?" He had no expression. "Ok will you answer my questions if I complete the work ?", she asked with a stern face. He nodded as he started walking . She followed him.
Within a few minutes, both of them arrived at an old grave yard. He pinpointed at a grave and said, "Dig it up worker girl! until you find the corpse." He ordered and sat nearby.
"What ? Hello Mister! Call me Julia. I have a name!", she yelled as she started digging. "What kind of attitude was that! huh! like he was doing one of the well-refined jobs in the whole universe", she murmured.
"My attitude, I think it's none of your business! Do your work", he ordered again. "Huh! What kind man would let a woman do all these hard and dirty works! He sure deserves a title, The epitome of cruelty", she thought to herself. As she digged up, she asked her questions one by one and he answered them.
"Who strangled me?"
"It was a demon. Everytime I do teleportation with that blackmagic, random demons appear from the underworld. I still couldn't figure out how it happens."
"Great gods! It was a demon? Praise the lord! That I'm still alive. Ok, Then who saved me?"
"Who else in the world would save a creature like you?"
She stared at him for a second and said," So..., you saved me ? "
He nodded his head.
"Well, thank you very much. Then is that the same demon who took my friend?"
"May be!. But your friend must have been lucky to have escaped just like that."
"So you didn't save her ?"
"She is not my worker though. What made you think that I would save her? You stupid worker girl!"
"Oh! ok. There you go again! Address me as Julia", she yelled out in anger. She digged up finally. It was the grave of a 30 year old woman.
"Oh it stinks badly! What the heck are you going to do now ? See ..let me inform you clearly. I am not a cannibal and I don't eat random corpses. Ok ?"
"Cut her arms and put them in this box", he handed over a box. "Why the hell would I even do that?", she yelled at him. "Do or die. Choice is yours", he said with a stern voice.
"Huh! Pretty much the same!", she thought to herself. She started praying and chanting mantras as for paying respect to the dead. Before she opened her eyes, he completed the work, closed the grave and he started moving.
"Wait! Why are you doing these things? Where are you taking them?", she shouted with a doubted face. He turned around and took a glance and that black smoke appeared again.
"Why didn't you say that you are going to teleport with that thing? What if something creepy comes out again?", she yelled as she started running. "Bye Mr. Psycho!", she left waving her hand. "Stupid worker girl!", he thought to himself.
Only after reaching home she realized that she forgot to ask about that handsome man. Sitting on her bed, she thought to herself, "Wow what a weekend! Research project my foot! I must be crazy doing all those weird stuff with a weirdo. Good thing that my parents didn't knew what I had been doing orelse I would have been burned down to ashes by now. Next time I should question him which species he belongs to, huh! He is oh so inhuman! It's already so great that he can understand human language."
She was in peace after hearing those answers but she still had some doubts as to how Rosita came back alive. But she was glad that her friend was fine.
"Master !", he bowed his head handing over the box.
"Well done my son!", a hoarse voice replied from the dark.
"Did you find a human worker for yourself ?"
"Yes master."
"Good then. Bring that human here tomorrow. I urgently need a human sacrifice for my witchcraft", that voice ordered.
"Ok master! Serving you is my only duty!"
