My ears were eager to hear the bell’s ring and and tune in the toot of exhilaration shouts by each child’s mouth! I was keen, as from today our summer breaks will be beginning! Among other things, did I introduce myself? If not, then let me have the honour! I go by, Lavender, or else, call me, Lavie, as my people knowing me do so! I am edified in the Flamboyant Tute! During my Science classes, I usually snooze as it it’s not quite appealing to me! Another cause could be my indolence! Well, where was I? 

Oh yeah, I was telling you something…. When the bell dang, I pelted towards the exit, as I couldn’t hang onto my hat! My mum scheduled a spesh visit that too, surreptitious! On the way, I tucked my eye balls behind the support of my palms so that the surprise isn’t ramshackle!! Meanwhile I sneaked out to look as I couldn’t help it! After a while, I dozed off. When we made it to the terminus… I saw, my mum’s village once again!!! We have been visiting this place since thousands of years! All my exhilaration shattered into fragments! I was in seconds teary! I loath to go in, but had an affirmative intuition that something is approaching! When we reached my grandmother’s house… I saw my coughing kins! They habitually never terminate appetising and hence rasps throughout the years! All my aunts along with my mum and granny went to snap up the shops for their so called inestimable items! Mercifully, my cousin Charlotte was much alike. All of my other cousins were reading novels written by granny! Yep, my granny is an author and she writes adventurous stories, but all of them are unreal! I asked Charlotte to go for a stroll rather than sitting in this withered hut of granny! Granny’s hut was located in a gorgeous woody land! There were different shades of greens everywhere and the frosty zephyr, that whispered in ears of all! Whenever we came here, we never got to stroll around! But the air had something to tell today!

I began blathering with her. It felt as she was my twin! She told that she was also not engrossed in swotting Science and Computer! While chatting, we let slip the way and were astray! We reached another town, with all the gates locked and bolted! We were tautened! We pummel at gates of many, but no one replied until the last house! The woman inside, nose around the street and hauled us in slamming the door! As she began to speak her throat felt to be constricted with fear.

Before she could cross-question we uttered everything! She was gracious, and rendered us mouth watering food and tempting beetroot juice without saying anything. We felt a little fiddly, but had no choice except of staying here, until our family finds us. When she was gone, Charlotte murmured about her doubt towards the lady. She said:-“Without saying anything, she is giving us food, probably poisoned! Ask her why she is doing so.” Her intuition made sense so I asked her!

She replied, “your granny’s heart is thronged with magnanimity. I know her before your mothers were even married! I worked in her hut as a charlady. But she considered me as her own offspring. She got me united in wedlock with an army officer who died few years back. You both are like my daughters! Won’t I feed my own kids?” We jovially ate the nosh! After binging, we asked her about the tranquility, and she told that today when the sun will slip from the sky and bouncing moon would appear, the incubus will approach and will sanction whoever is out! We were transfix! Charlotte when looked out, found the dead of the night! Suddenly, we heard unco bellows! The lady turned off all the brightness in a jiffy! We sat close, firmly hugging each other! The lady whispered “I am going to check the casements and other doors” Minutes passed but she didn’t arrive and we were getting more and more frantic, until she came! We told her about our fear and she asked us to come near and cuddle her! When we came closer to her, she turned into an incubus! It spread its frosty arms that approached as our death! It caught hold of Charlotte’s neck when she hold me tight! I gathered up all my courage and tried to tumble it down! I was triumphant! I quickly held Charlotte’s hand and we both ran towards the exit splintering the door! There were many poltergeists that were so gangly as if touching the sky or even space, outside! While vamoosing, Charlotte stumbled down the descend! When I started succouring, one of the cacodemon came streaking towards us! In this agony also, she managed to get up and scurry, but after few steps, she staggered! One of the poltergeists came and held Charlotte! I could do nothing, but see her going! While going, she squealed “Scrutinise the house of the lady and find her if she is there !” I almost forgot about her! I expeditiously went to take a glance of her, and guess what… she was there lashed with ropes and a cloth jabbed in her mouth! I disengaged her from the hold of the rope! She was gasping without any desist! This was making her robustness worse! She was giddy and staggered! I thought it was not the most impeccable moment to confer and hence went back to check Charlotte! By the moment, it was getting darker with no signs of the demons and Charlotte! Tautened me wandered every street! And at last street, I found the group of poltergeists with munitions! I succumbed myself, as I had no other choice! I bowed to them, and they came to hurt me… nothing could be done rather than my death and my family still unknown to this! I counted their every step towards me that stomped heavily on the ground shaking my balance! Their last step towards me, and I slightly shut my eyes… I kept it shut, and shut, still it is shut only, I am controlling my blink, it is not open yet! What is happening! Why aren’t they hitting? When I opened my eyes, I was incredulous! A golden beam of light harboured me in it! And then I again heard stomping! This shield made me flutter in the wind and what I saw, it felt as a dream! There were demiurges hitting the demons but not killing them as they freshened their souls! The demiurges hit them to teach them a lesson! Soon I was down, and everyone was watching me! I saw Charlotte and all the villagers were there! One elder woman stepped towards me, and said:-‘From now, this day, would be called as the Lavie day’! We went back jubilant and dictated everything to our family on the top of our voices and in one breath! Since then, I visit that village in that day to celebrate the Lavie day!
