Chapter 2: The Sound of Ghostly Anklets 😰

By 9:00 PM, a suffocating silence covered the fort. The silence was so deep that they could hear their own heartbeats. Kabir turned on his camera's night-vision mode. Suddenly, Meera’s phone screen flickered wildly, and the battery dropped from 98% to 0% in three seconds. The phone died.Suddenly, a terrifying sound echoed from the stairs of the Queen's Palace—Clink... Clink... Clink... It was the sound of metallic anklets (Ghungroo). Someone was dancing in the pitch darkness.Kabir raised his camera with shaking hands. What he saw on the green screen made his blood run cold. A headless woman in royal clothes, stained with fresh blood, was standing on the stairs. Behind her stood a tall, pitch-black shadow with long, razor-sharp claws."Run!" Kabir screamed. They turned to escape, but the heavy wooden door of the chamber slammed shut on its own. They were locked from the outside.😰😨
