2 . Cookies

4 Days ago....

"Honey , where is my blue tie ? I can't find it !!" said James as he was searching his wardrobe frantically.
"It's right there ." said Sue as she stood at the door, hands crossed at her chest.
" Where ???? I can't find it !!!"said James tossing out other ties .
"Oh dear.........just take a deep breath and calm down ." said Sue as she picked up the blue tie from the suitcase and tied it around James' neck. " You're gonna be just fine.....don't get stressed . I know you're gonna get that deal for sure,  just be yourself."she smiled and kissed his forehead.

James was now staring into her eyes . Her eyes were ocean blue and James felt as if he would drown in them . Little by little all the nervousness , all the stress , all the worries he had, disappeared as he looked deeper into her eyes. He felt as if he could stare at them all his life and never get tired. Sue had something magical in her, something special that made him feel alive. Something that could take away all his fears and problems and that's what James loved about her. Standing in his bedroom while staring in her eyes , James felt as if he was falling in love with her again. That's right he would fall in love with her over and over again and never get tired.
"Hello? Mr. Dreamy........ Aren't you getting late ?" said Sue, snapping him out of his thoughts.
James glanced at his watch and exclaimed,
"Golly !!!! I'm late !!!!!"
He dashed towards the door picking up his suitcase and  bag to leave. The taxi he had called for was already at their door. James stopped midway as if he had remembered something  and turned back to see his wife following him to bid him goodbye.
"Before I leave , promise me that you'll take care of yourself and ............................ make chocolate cookies for me when I return." he said grinning widely.
"Sure !" she replied and kissed him goodbye.
Sue smiled and waved him for the last time as James got into the taxi. She stood there watching  until the the taxi disappeared along with the road.

Who knew that it was the last time she saw her husband.

Sue closed the door as a thought of what she had promised her husband a few minutes ago struck her mind.
                                            

"Good heavens ! How am I going to bake chocolate cookies !" she exclaimed in distress as she realized how bad her baking skills were. Sue was a really good cook but , when it came to baking...... things would always go out of hand. James was the one who always did the baking stuff. She had tried baking a couple of times before , but the result was always a perfect disaster. Last time when she  tried baking a cake for their anniversary, she had set the microwave on fire. And now these chocolate cookies were a great challenge before her. She had watched James making them a couple of times so maybe things would turn better this time...............she thought to herself.
She also wanted to impress her husband with her baking skills and so decided to practice making cookies these 4 days while James was out. Satisfied with her decision, Sue grabbed her coat and purse as she set out to get the ingredients. The super market wasn't that far away and so she decided to walk her way upto the store.
It was quite cold outside and it seemed as if it would snow anytime. Sue pulled her coat tight and  rubbed her hands to warm herself as a cool breeze blew past her. The sun had already set and it was getting dark. She smiled to herself as she checked the contents of her bag. She had bought Belgium chocolate , eggs, milk, flour, and a baking recipe book so that she wouldn't go wrong this time. She was going to make the best cookies for her beloved husband.
                                      

As she was thinking she came across a Pawn shop on her way back. Sue never had any interest in this shop but something had caught her eye this time.  It was a black metallic Crucifix . It was very beautiful with intricate designs on it . It was quite bigger than the one at her grandfather's place and it was even more detailed and enchanting in some way. She felt as if the crucifix was calling her as she peered through the display glass.Sue always wanted to have one for herself anyway and so decided to buy it. 
Hello ! I'm just your average girl with lot of stories to blow your minds off.

Riiiiiiiiinnnnnggggggg! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggg!   It was the fifth time James had rung the doorbell, yet there was no response. James had just returned after 4 days of business trip. Sure he was tired but , he was excited to return home and to meet his beloved wife, Sue. Just thinking about her would bring a smile on his face. She just had something magical in her which made his life special. He could not imagine his life without her. Before meeting Sue, James was all alone. He had no idea of family as he was an orphan from the beginning of his life. He was completely unknown to the feeling of love and happiness until he met Sue.                                             James was tapping his foot on the floor as he pushed the doorbell for the last time.Why wasn't Sue answering ? he thought. He called her twice on her mobile but still no answer. He could hear the faint ringtone of her mobile phone from upstairs. What was wrong ? Was she asleep ? or was she Sick ?

Mark sipped his coffee as he sat at the counter,legs crossed wondering about his love life. He was in his mid-twenties and helped his dad run a little pawn shop that his dad owned. He would usually be out gambling at some club but when his father was out he would look after their shop. This time too his father was out on some urgent business and he had to take over his place at the shop. Mark's father wanted him to take over the shop after him and continue their family business but Mark had different plans.................................he wanted to open a casino of his own. His father naturally thought that it was a stupid idea and would never work but Mark wouldn't give up. Moreover his love life was miserable. He never had any luck with girls. Whenever he took a girl out for a date something terrible would happen and he would end up miserable every single time.                                                         The bell clinked, signalling that there was a custome

"Ooww!" Sue cried as she clutched her head. She felt as of thousands of needles were pricking her. She was surprised to find herself on the living room floor. Strange.............. she thought. She could not remember coming home. She remembered going to the supermarket and then at the pawn shop but could not figure out what happened on her way back home. It was as if her memory was erased............... Sue scratched her head thinking hard about how she'd passed out on the floor. Was she drunk the night before? Or did she bump into something and knocked herself out ? As she was thinking , something caught her eye. It was the little black bag from the pawn shop. Last night she had bought a beautiful Crucifix and then she couldn't recall anything else. Never mind.... she thought and left for a shower leaving the bag in the living room. The water rushed out as Sue turned the shower on. Nothing is better than a warm shower , she thought. As the water ran down her body

5 . The Faceless man

Sue trembled with fear as she felt the presence of someone standing behind her. The blood continued to gush out from her neck as she tried to stop it with her hand , her heart was throbbing louder than usual and sweat beads formed near her brow. Sue was so scared that she felt as if her legs were paralysed making her unable to move. Suddenly the tense situation was broken with the sudden revival of the T.V . Sue threw the flower vase which she was holding so long in the direction of the T.V breaking the screen into thousands of shards. The T.V screen came down with a large thud scattering the glass splinters every where. She started breathing heavily as the person behind her came in front of her. Sue could not believe her own eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks . It was James ........ he had come back for her ..... Without thinking any further Sue leapt into his arms sobbing terribly , holding him tight as if she would never let him leave her again. James hugged her back sending shi

Sue fell asleep , tired from all the crying. Her nose was red and her eyes sore from all the sobbing. All that was happening with her seemed a bit familiar but she wasn't quite sure about this feeling. The house was still and everything was quite. The rush outside had died and it was deserted outside , one could hear nothing but the rustling of leaves as the wind passed by.                  Sue found herself in an odd but familiar place. She thought she had fallen asleep a while ago but there she was , in a place that she could never forget. It was her Grandpa's old mansion where she had spent her childhood.Unsure of what to do Sue roamed in the mansion letting all the memories bathe her. And then she saw the wooden chest on her Grandpa's study lying undisturbed. She remembered how mad her Grandpa became when she tried to open that chest when she was younger. She was quite a curious little kid back then. She always wanted to open the chest and see what was inside that w

Sue sat on her bed biting her lip as she recalled the previous night's events. She could not believe herself as all the events seemed total bizarre................was she going crazy ? But that didn't explain the Serpent mark on her neck...................... She was confused but more than that she was scared. The way James' face changed into that horrible creature had made her heart skip a beat. She was experiencing unimaginable things , things that were far away from any kind of fantasy .Even if she tried telling someone , no one would believe her let alone help. The only person who could soothe her was James , but at this moment he was miles away...........and even if he tried to come back he could not make it before nightfall. Sue dialed James' number on her cellphone and placed it near her ear, waiting for him to answer. Even if he wasn't by her side , his words could always soothe her. The line clicked on the other side and Sue spoke first, "Hello James

Before she could process what she'd discovered , she felt as if something was pulling her downwards. When she looked down to see what was wrong she found herself stuck in a quicksand and was sinking deeper into it with each passing second. How did she get caught into quicksand when she was standing in her grandpa's study ? she thought as she took a view around her , the walls of the room were melting into sand revealing the darkness behind them. The sand was increasing and she was sinking deeper into it. Panicked, she began struggling to get out of there , she looked around her to find something to hold onto , something that could pull her out of the sand but where ever she turned for help she was faced by darkness and nothing else. She felt as if she was caged inside a sand hourglass ............ Soon she was covered by sand and she felt the air escaping her lungs. With the last breath inside her she mouthed the words " J..a..m..e..s.."

9 . Peek- a - boo !

Sue was trying hard to figure out how she could use the vial of holy water . The vial wasn't much big , it was about the size of her palm which meant that she could not afford wasting even a single drop of it. It was already dark outside and the moon appeared a bit unusual today. That was when it struck her, it was the day of Lunar Eclipse .... the day of her Demise .....But Sue had decided that she would not give up without putting up a proper fight. As she was engrossed in her thoughts , she hear a loud crash and a faint whisper. She could make out what the sound was , it was the sound of a plate crashing on the floor. But she wasn't sure of the whisper. Sue kept the vial on the wooden chest and pushed it back under the bed. She got up and leaned closer to the door trying to listen carefully.  CRASH ! .........2 Then there was a long pause ...... CRASH ! ..........3 The phantom was pushing down the plates and counting along with it. With every crash , the serpent mark

                                           James checked himself in the mirror one last time. He was ready for the final presentation. He smiled to himself as he recalled Sue's smiling face wishing him good luck . It had been just 3 days away from home but it felt as if they had been apart for years. His smile grew wider as he realized that he would be in a plane flying back home in about 4 hours,back to where he truly belonged, in the arms of his love. He picked up his phone from the dresser and dialed Sue's number hoping to hear her voice before his final presentation . The line clicked , signalling that that the call had been received. "Hello lov- " Before he could complete his sentence , the connection went dead with a loud beep sound at the end. Maybe it was some network error .... he assumed. He was about to redial her number when he heard a faint faint knock on his door. " Excuse me Sir, the CEO is already here." " I'll be out in a min
