That girl, genuinely shocked, replied in confussing tone "Who?". Then pointed a finger to herself "Me?".
Juro gulped and said " Y-Yes."
That girl answered," I'm Mira.Do you know what is this place? "
Juro's hand dropped the cup on the table in shock. His eyes widened in shock. "Do... Do you live in Osara?" he asked in tensed tone.
"Yes! Do you know where it is?" she asked with curiosity. Her eyes showed eagerness about Osara's location.
Juro said, "Wait, a second miss".
Hearing him she stopped talking and focused on Juro's upcoming words yet her expression showed her confussion on Juro's behaviour.
Thawp!
A fast slap landed on Juro's cheek delivered by his own hand. "Ok! Now I am awake." Then he looked at the girl."Huh? Hey, did I died out of shame?"
Mira replied "Why?" Juro said"Nothing special, just witnessing an imaginary girl in my room."
"Huh? I am not imaginary!" Mira replied with a cute pout on her cheeks.
Juro said in amusement " Now i understand. I am too tired to awake." He yawned and fell asleep, putting his head on the dining table.
"Rest assured.. I will talk with you tomorrow."
saying this Juro closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Hey don't sleep! At least say where I should go now? Hey, wake up! Hello! Mister!" Mira called him several times, even shook him but at the end his tiredness won.
A Little While Later...
"Ahhh!" with a scream, Juro woke up. Something was bitting him. A mosquito wouldn't be as scary as a blood thirsty animal. Juro's leg was still getting crunch of that animal's teeth.
Instinctively, Juro kicked the thing which was biting him. Fortunately, it released his leg from it's mouth.
His leg started to bleed. He held his wound to prevent blood loss.
He looked at the beast. It was that girl, but she looked aged somehow and crawling like a beast. "Monster!!" Juro exclaimed instinctively. This sound was enough to get the attention of that beast.
Mira, now looked like an adult lady whose beauty didn't fade, yet her mouth was hungry.. hungry for human flesh. Her teeth was normal but coloured with Juro's blood.
She lunged at Juro, trying to bite his throat while roaring like a ferocious animal.
Juro grabbed her hands when she lunged at him. He was struggling to push her back with his all strength.
But slowly Juro's strength started to fade before a 16-year-old lady, human beast or whatever she was. To avoid her bite, Juro rolled down with her. When he found an opening, he pushed her away, anyhow and escaped from her gasp.
With this struggle, at last he reached to the kitchen.
Juro closed the kitchen door fastly. He exhaled with a bit relief. Juro sat on the ground while lounging his back on the door and held his head with two hands to catch up the current situation.
His leg was still bleeding but the current situation was more insane than that.
"Ok it is a dream, just close your eyes, slowly... and you will awake" he closed his eyes slowly then tried to open it.
Crack!
A hand came inside, cracking the kitchen door.
Luckily, just in time Juro moved from there. He panted heavily, yet shut his scream within him.
That hand struggle to get itself free, and trying to break the door of kitchen, completely.
Juro crawled to the toilet in shere terror.
Just in time he reached to the toilet. He closed the toilet door.
Crack!
With a huge sound the kitchen's door got completely broken by the lady beast and she came into kitchen.
Juro peeked through the keyhole of the toilet. At first he didn't realize it. But soon it became clear as water to him that Mira was the protagonist of "Halloween Neighbours" novel, which he ws writing. Yet Juro remebered he hadn't finished that before starting a new one.
But as far as he remembered, this 16-year-old girl from Osara was cursed on halloween night. At this night, every year she becomes that type of beast, just to eat human flesh.
He peeked to her untill she moved to the other room's way.
Juro used this chance and opened the door of his toilet cautiously. Gingerly he walked to his desk. Maybe he left the page of her story on his desk.
He reached to his desk."Is it even possible? That she came out from that note. Is it really my creation?" He mumbled in fear.
At last he found the note. "Finally.." he relieved a little without letting his voice too loud. Then he read that page carefully for any survival tips.
"At least end the work before starting new one! " he raged on himself after finding that he had stopped writing that novel just after mentioning that woman in his story.
He became very angry on Juro.
All of a sudden a breath hit his back. His motions stopped in fear. Something was sniffing him, like a predetor is testing if it's food is edible.
He gulped."Turning means death" his instincts exclaimed on him. Thousand of worst outcomes started appearing in his mind.
Then she charged on him. Juro turned back at the right moment. He got a position to resist her from biting his throat. He pushed his hands against her face.
"Ahhhhh!!!" his soul also screamed with him as his palm got into her mouth.
Blood. It was his blood. His creation is now creating it's creator's death. He punched her face with another arm to free his right hand.
It was too late. Though he freed his hand. His thumb and index finger had already left his palm.
His pain was too much that his scream started to losing its voice.
He crawled to the desk. Then turned back to locate her. But he ended up, witnessing a crawling nightmare.
That adult lady beast whose clothes got slightly ripped was staring at him with her red eyes.
She was crawling to Juro. She was getting more and more terrifying with every step.
Juro was facing something he had never imagined. His hands fumbled blindly to find something to protect himself.
Clak!
He tripped books from his desk but he got something.
She lunged at him.
Juro used that thing as a shield. Just to keep her face away.
Her forehead touched to the thing and a huge light came.
She got absorbed by the thing.
He panted heavily. Still overcoming from what had happened.
Bang! Bang!
"Open the door, you creep!" someone was barging the door.
But Juro's body didn't respond. He was very tired and shocked by the Do or die situation.
His body was too tired to move. His hands fell on the ground. Juro lost his senses without realising that his wounds were still bleeding, badly.
The banging continues, then everything blended into silence for Juro.
To Be Continued....
