......the dream

It  was 2.00 am when I woke up from my disturbed sleep listening to someone knocking at my door and I  was taken away by the stories which led me to a bad dream. The previous day we planned on  a holiday trip to a little cottage in my dad’s village. My relatives and the people around there used to talk mysterious stories about the cottage which gave me an unpleasant feeling about the trip. But my brother was way too excited  to visit the cottage. My family and I had to catch the morning bus at 5am. We had to cross through the forest in order to reach the other side of the village. This reminded me about my horror dream. Almost a six hour journey and we reached the little cottage. It looked beautiful at a glance. The surrounding, environment, structure, rooms everything looked pleasant. Out of all the rooms there was only one room which was locked and my brother wanted to see that room.  In the evening  my parents were going out and they warned him not to go to that room. But he gathered all his courage and asked me to accompany him to that room. With a lantern in his right hand and a key on his left hand we walked up through the stairs. With all the fear I stood closely behind him. As he opened the door there were bats flying out and I began to scream ghost , ghost. As I entered the room  I saw a reflection pass through the other room. I was terrified but keeping away all the fear I went to the other room and that is when I realized there was mirrors fixed in both the rooms and opposite reflection appeared. That was the end of all the horror stories of the little cottage. And thereafter had a pleasant holiday trip.
