Chapter 1




It was a lovely evening. With a cool breeze blowing and summer magnolia flowers in full bloom in Daisys backyard. She was reading her favourite gothic romance mystery novel and was having her lemon tea. 


Her phone buzzed, it was her granny. she picked up. " Listen Daisy are you coming tonight or not. Its been a long awhile you have not been here. " Sure i am coming to visit you in my car now " Daisy said and got up to get dressed. " No wait you come tomorrow in morning. Its no moon night. Dont travel alone now " her granny told her" " You are being superstitious nothing will happen " Daisy laughed. But then a lingering thought came to her " its a no moon night and its a long drive through the forests. Should i go tomorrow or today to visit granny. Superstitious me she chided herself. "


After wearing her green lemon colour dress she left her house. And locking the front door. " Have i forgotten something. Yes the car keys. " Daisy said and got inside the house and took it. A weird sensation she was having about the trip though. Its not like she was first time making this trip. But in night sure she had not travelled before.


She started on her journey. It was a full moon night and she reached her grandma house after one hour of driving through the forests on a windy weather. All the trees were blowing in the breeze. 


After she reached her granny house. Her grandmother had just made dinner and was, waiting for her on the porch. 


" Dear you came i was waiting for you. U shouldn't be driving in such a, weather at night " daisys grandmother said reproachfully. 


" What have you made by the way " Daisy asked. " Its chicken chesse sandwhich and some white wine. " " Yes ur food is, always good " Daisy remarked.


" So have you found someone or not " her granny asked. " Not yet " Daisy said wistfully. And all other topics they talked on. 


After talking and having dinner in the garden. Daisy got up to go. " Wait where are you going its 11 in the night. You can sleep 😴and go tomorrow. Its not safe to drive in thenight all alone " granny said. 


" How can wild animals enter a closed car from the forests " Daisy asked. " And what if your car breaks down in middle of the road and im not just talking about wild animals here. Its, a no moon night Daisy " her granny said. 


" Please don't be superstitious and believe in ghosts. I have to go because tomorrow morning i have a, meeting and i have to prepare. And by the way it would be fun driving in the night through the fotests on a moonlit night! 🌴 Daisy said.


" Always the impulsive one arent you. Okay so dont forget to lock the cardoors. And no hitch hikers. " " Give me a, call on the way.. " her granny said. " Sure i will call you after i reach home " Daisy said. " And if some problems happen on the way call me " granny told Daisy. " Dont worry " Daisy said.

After some time of driving. Daisy started to feel drowsy. " I should have listened to granny's and stayed there only for the night. Like a, fool i took this journey. " Not one human being and car could be seen for miles. I am all alone here. 


The forest was looming all dark around her. " Hope my car doesn't breaks down now " she told herself with a, shiver. Her tyres screehed and the car halted. She got out to check what it was. Her engine had heated up. So she got out and poured some water on it and again started her car. From distance wild animals were making noises. After some time of driving suddenly she saw a woman on the side of the road. " Whats, this woman doing in the jungles. But when' she came nearer what she saw made her heart froze. That her feet were opposite. And a sinister smile on her face. She was like a shadow. Not a human being.

Daisys heart froze. She was not a human being. She drove on faster somehow breathlessly. She tried calling her granny. But it was coming out of network. Maybe she had slept. Then in the rear view she saw the same woman siting in her backseat!


Daisy amost felt faint. But somehow she did kept on driving. The woman vanished from the backseat. 


In a blur she drove and reached her house and falered and fell on the bed. She couldn't open the lock with her key as her hands were trembling. Next day she had a fever. She called her granny and told her everything about it. 


Her grandmother said " thats why i was warning you. I have heard some rumours about that patch of the forests. But you always took it as, a joke. Now next time you wont be driving too late in the night. One good thing happened out of all this " she said. " Next time you come here you stay here. But you are brave to keep driving inspite of that ghostly sighting " her granny said. 


" Yes i know and to think i never believed in ghosts. Now in night i check the locks on my door " Daisy said as she was holding a cup of warm tea in her hands.
