Evil's Palace...A Short Tale

Disclaimer: This is an imagination-based story, it has no real facts.

It was Saturday and my friends and I had planned an impromptu get-together. It was already 6 pm. I quickly completed my work and grabbed my car keys to drive to my friend's place, which was 250km from my home. As I reached near waterfalls turning, I noticed a distant flimsy figure chasing my car in the rearview mirror. I ignored it initially but when I looked again in the mirror, the figure was still running and the distance between my car and the figure had reduced! I am not the kind of person who gets scared easily but I considered it wiser to simply accelerate and get out of there." Now it's late-night, so I was going to stay at a guest house in nearby a town for the night. Surprisingly, the guest house I was staying in had no other guest. I had my dinner and went off to sleep at around 11 pm. Suddenly, I could feel the bed shaking and started escalating, seconds later. I jumped out of bed, ready to put on my slippers and run out as I was sure it was an earthquake. But utter darkness surrounded me and the shaking stopped. It was completely silent. I turned the lights on and walked out of the door. It was raining and completely dark.

No one was awake. I rushed down the stairs towards the reception area to ask the men there about the earthquake. Two of them were awake and were watching a cricket match. "Nothing shook here. We didn't feel any earthquake" they said when I asked them. I was sure the bed was shaking. What kind of earthquake was that? Or was it even an earthquake? Well, I couldn't sleep after that and ended up watching TV the whole night." After relaxing for a while, I thought of going out and visiting some places nearby. I met a few locals who told me that I should visit the black Hill in a triangular spot to witness some real natural beauty. They also told me that the area is haunted, which got me even more thrilled! So, I picked up my camera bag, hired a bike, and started riding towards the black hill. I reached black Hill in about two hours. The place was indeed very beautiful and reminded me of the rock garden. Despite the lovely sight of the misty forest, sparse vehicular movement on the road, and the occasional chirping of birds, this place emanated eerie vibes. I decided to hike a little further into the Hill forest to get a few good shots. Everything was great until a pair of grey eyes appeared to be staring right at me as I looked through my camera viewfinder. Seconds later, I heard a shriek. I didn't waste a second in running back to my bike. Whenever I think of this incident, it sends chills down my spine." Later I left the place and ahead towards my friend's palace....on way, I recall all that had happened to me throughout the way. Those are all evil attacks in evil places if I am not wrong.....
