Riya held her books tight as she walked in search of another one. She was so engrossed in searching for a book and accidentally, collided with a stranger. She dropped her books and the girl had already fallen on her knees. "I'm sorry" Riya apologized as she looked down at her to lend a hand. Riya hurriedly helped her to get back on foot and the girls picked up their stuff. "I'm Jenny." The girl introduced herself and stretched her right arm. "I'm Riya." Riya introduced herself and gave her a warm smile. She then walked ahead in search of a book. As the girl sat back on a chair.


After a bit, Riya noticed that she had accidentally picked up jenny's diary. She ran out of the library in search of Jenny; instead, she found a huge crowd departing from an ambulance. "What's happening here?" She inquired a young girl from the crowd. "Someone met with an accident." the girl said. "What. who was it? How is the person now?" Riya interrogated. "I don't know. the person was in a blue dress and she had a pink bag with her. She passed away before the ambulance arrived." the girl said and walked away. A tear dropped from Riya's eye. Jenny was dressed in blue. She also had a pink bag with her. Although she met jenny, just a few minutes ago, She couldn't take the news. She walked back to the library. Heavy-hearted. 


That night, the thoughts of the accident disturbed Riya. She stood up and walked up to the table to fetch her some water. As she held her water bottle, her eyes fell on Jenny's diary. She walked back to her bed without taking a sip. 

A few months passed by. Riya wasn't able to get out of the horrific moment. She met Jenny, a girl with a beautiful smile, and a kind heart for she was not mad even after being pushed down on her knees. She introduced herself cheerfully and within a few minutes departed from the world leaving a handwritten book on her life.


Riya did not dare touch the book. Her nights were all horrifying. One morning she visited the library to collect notes. She walked into the library and sudden thoughts of Jenny overtook her. She somehow dragged herself through the shelves. She finally chose a book and sat down to read it. She could see the chair on which Jenny sat months ago. Nerve pricked, she bent down and continued reading. She could not look up for a moment, but her neck ached and she finally lifted her head............

A girl with open hair, dark eyes and a scar on her forehead was seated on the chair. She turned towards Riya and gave her a horror smile. IT WAS JENNY. Riya panicked. She wanted to shout out loud and run out of the library screaming. But she didn't. She sat there, allowing her fear to overtake her, staring at the long-lost soul. Eventually, tears of fear ran down her cheek. She jumped out of the chair. She ran up to a young man nearby, with eyes full of tears. She pointed out to the paranormal creature and exclaimed, "Sir, please save me from her!" The man turned to have a look and said, "There's no one there." Riya turned back and was horrified. The chair was empty.


Horrified; Riya ran back home without looking back. She locked herself in her room, Fell on her knees, and stayed still, letting tears drop down her cheeks. SHE HAD SEEN A DEAD PERSON.

That night she couldn't sleep alone in her room so, she pulled out a few clothes, packed her stuff, and left for her best friend Jane's place. She hugged jane and explained everything. Jane consoled her and helped her snatch forty winks. 


Jane was a scriptwriter for dramas. The next day Jane was busy getting ready for work. "I'll come with you today. I can neither stay alone nor go to the office today." Riya said as she hung her bag on her shoulder. Both of them left. On their way, Riya was busy digging her bag in search of her phone. Her hands suddenly fell over something. She pulled it out. It was Jenny's diary. Her hands trembled, she dropped it down. Jane bent down to pick it up but, Riya stopped her. "Is she haunting me for her diary?" Riya asked. Jane could not answer and remained silent. They eventually reached Jane's studio. "Make yourself comfortable. I'll be quite busy today. we're rehearsing for a drama; many troops from other studios are here today."


 Riya quietly walked in. She went inside in search of the washroom. She changed and walked up to the mirror to freshen up. She washed her hands and looked up at the mirror. She was dismayed. She could see a figure, soaked in blood, with a face full of scars. Her hands shivered. She panicked. She rubbed her eyes and looked back again. Now, the figure's reflection was clearly visible. Riya stared at the mirror, it was jenny. She was breathing heavily. Her hair and eyes were red. . She looked horrifying. Riya could not turn back. Jenny stared at her for some time and then turned back and walked out of sight. Riya closed her ears and screamed out loud. She was in tears. She sat down there on the floor, crying and screaming. She covered her face and cried out loud. When she moved her hands away Jenny was back there. "P-P-P-PLEASE GO; AWAY. L-LE-E-E-AVE ME ALONE." She screamed out loud and moved her hands back on her face. Jake heard her scream and ran up to her. Riya hugged jake and cried out loud. "Jenny is haunting me....." She burst out. 


Riya and Jake went back to the car and brought Jenny's diary. They placed it near the mirror and walked away. 

Until evening everything seemed to be normal. The rehearsals were done but, they weren't able to go back home because of the rain. Riya stayed back in a room with Jake and her troupe. The wind was howling. The lights were going on and off. The distant barks of dogs were horrifying. Riya clutched Jake's hand, and the power went off. The dogs began barking much louder. Riya bravely walked forward and switched on the torch. The dim light of the torch fell straight on a book. It was jenny's diary. A tall, slender and deadly figure held the diary. Riya's trembling hands moved the torch up to see the face of the figure. Jenny smiled at her happily holding her diary tight. Riya dropped her torch down and screamed out loud. The room was completely dark. All the troupe members were frightened. They fell on each other, Broke vases, and screamed out so loud that they could be heard by the end of the street. They began throwing things in all directions to protect themselves from the 'ghost'. The air smelled weird. Dogs began barking much louder. A loud thunder added to their fear. They screamed much louder and turned the room upside down.


"I'M JENNY'S TWIN; AND I PLAY THE ROLE OF A GHOST IN THE PLAY." 'Anny', the ghostly figure yelled out loud bringing the room back to complete silence.
