Friday the 13th..........Don't open the Door

''Don't heat me.Please don't............'' Shiv screams for help.But sound doesn't come out of his mouth.Its dry.No sound.Only a whisper............a whisper of fear.A whisper of a very angry boy.He can't see him.But he knows its him.He ..........is here.To take his soul away.He heard a noise...........a noise of something sharp...........it jumps up on the sky........and drops just on his neck...........he closes his eyes..............and..........

Shiv wakes up.His whole body is sweating.Its dark all over the place.He shivers in fear.''Where am I ?''At first he thinks.''Am I dead?''Why its so dark here?''........''Does it mean I'm dead?''..........''Is this hell?''.............He touches his neck.No.No cuts are there .Nor any cut marks.

''Then how did I die?''Its dark.He can't see his own hand.Checks down.Yah! Its his bed.Its bed.He feels relieve.That means it was a dream.He was again having the nightmare.That ugly,scary night mare.....of that man.Is he a human???No .He doesn't know.

''Shiv.Are you all right?Why are you screaming?''............Its Mom.''Yes mom..Don't worry.Just having a nightmare.''............''Same old nightmare everyday.''he whispers .''O no Shiv.How many times shall I tell you stop watching horror movies.For those you have these nightmares.''..........''Ok mom! From tomorrow,I'll not watch .........not only horrors,but no movie at all.''

''Yah! Yah! You told and I believe.''Mom says.''Now go back to sleep.''

''Mom.Why it is so dark?''Shiv asks.''The electricity is gone Dear! Just load shedding.''..........Mom says.Then she asks''Are you scared Dear? Shall I sleep with you.''........''No Mom.''Shiv answers quickly.He is old enough to sleep alone.Mom says''Good night Dear!''............Then she again comes back.Kissed his forehead and tells''Happy Birthday Dear.''.........''Its tomorrow Mom.''Shiv tells.Mom smiles''.Yes Dear.Its 1o clock Dear.Its 13th .Your Birthday.From now on you are 13.''

After mom left the room,Shiv feels a bit happy.Its his Birthday.That was a Friday to 13 years ago.At 1 am he was born.13 years ago.Today there will be a party.A big one.All are invited in this party.His friends and family.Mom ordered a big cake.Its a celebration day.As Dad is also coming from abroad today.

In this big  Banglow only 2 lives.He and Mom.She doesn't like maids.She cooks and takes care of the whole house by herself .

Shiv closes his eyes.Tomorrow is a big day.

Shiv closes his eyes...............1minute............2 minute........13 minutes.............Knock ...Knock....Knock.......

''Whos there?''He asks.None replies.Complete silence.Again ..........1minute..........2 minute.......3minute.....knock...... knock.This time Shiv jumps up.''Mom.'' Shiv asks in a loud voice''Is that U?''.........no answer.Just the door opens up.

He feels someone's footstep.Someone walking in the room.Someone.........But he can't see ..........''Who is there?'' Shiv shouts.This time he is scared.............

"Its me..........Moma........''But its not her voice.Shiv knows.Its not her voice.''You are not mom.Who are you?How did you get in?''............''I'm your Mom.Your real Mom.''..........The voice whispers.

''What!!!!''Shiv gets angry.''What kind of funny joke is this?Who ever you are ,I'm not enjoying the joke.Just come out and show your face.''

''If I could,I'd come to you.Hug you and wish you happy birthday.But I can't.''

''What!!!!Why?''

''Coz I'm dead.I know every night you are having a nightmare.Where some one is coming to sacrifice you in a dark temple.Trust me its not a nightmare.Its a prediction.A prediction of future.A future of you.''...........Shiv feels a single flow of sweat coming down to his head to down.How did she know that????He never shared this with anybody...........''If you are dead ..........Then how come I'm hearing your voice?''.............''Listen to me Dear!I don't have time.Neither do you.Its a horrible night for you...........only you can save yourself.''

''I can't understand .What are you saying?''Shiv gets scared.''Why I'll believe you?Who are you?You are not my mom.I've my mom and she is alive.''.............''No Dear! She is not me.''Tells the voice.''I died 13th years ago when you were just born.She was the evil spirit ,roaming around the clinic for a body ,a dead body .To possess and for you.''

"Why me?''........Shiv says.

''Coz you were born on the right time .Friday the 13th at 13th hour.''The voice says.

''You are wrong .'Now Shiv laughs.........''There is no 13th  hours''.

''There is.''The voice says.........''Only on 13th of Friday........the clock goes to a 13th hour.You were born on that hour.The perfect choice for sacrifice.''

''Sacrifice????''

''Yes! Sacrifice.''...........The voice says.''If it can sacrifice you again at 13th hour today.It'll get its life back'.'........''My time is over..........I've to go............''The voice is becoming less..........''I must go now.......''

''Hey......um....mm....Mom...........tell me how will I save myself.''

''Lock your door.Whatever happens.............don't open the door.''

THen the voice vanishes in the air.Shiv locks the door.Then seats on his bed.He is hearing something is going outside.Someone is ahraping something..............someone is coming to his door.............Knock..........Knock......Knock..........
