The Shining Skull: Hidden facts about Ancient History
Part 1
A Man was boating in a vast lake in the name of adventure and fun and spending some time away from his family.
While rowing, he came to a region in the lake where many skulls were floating nearby. He was scared, but there was one skull that has a shining gem at the head. He could not understand why so many skulls are floating at such a time, and the whole surrounding was gloomy with fog.
He can barely see far. He rowed his boat to the skull and took it out from the water. He tried removing the Gem from Skull, but it was very hard. He tried his best but could not do so. He thought that he would take this to his city and get it removed from someone. After selling, he will have plenty of money. He began rowing his boat to come at the shore. Finally, after 2–3 hours, he was able to reach the shore. He was feeling exhausted, and he headed directly to his home.
He was the father of a daughter and two boys who were grown up already. His wife was a beautiful and respected woman. They live in an apartment just 2–3 floors below the roof. The view from their balcony was magnificent. When he reached home, he covered the skull with paper and clothes and hid it in his bedroom. He went to take some food and tired from the journey he slept. His daughter and Sons were artists and were making a short movie. It was usual for them to shoot in the apartment's corridor, which was located at the entrance of the building. His daughter Srishti searched for a scarf that she could not find in her room, and she went to his father’s room and began searching. While in a hurry, she noticed that something was shining from the desk and when she opened the desk, she saw a mysterious thing wrapped up in a cloth and paper. When she opened it, it was a skull. 💀
So beautifully carved, and the red gem was attracting her. She could not resist but take it to her room. She placed that scarf in her room and the Artifact in a nearby table of her room and left for the shoot. The Sons Rahul and Akash were waiting for her for the shoot. Daily they have to shoot for a particular location where Christi will be lying down and reading a book. Their mother used to watch them from the balcony.
On that day, Christi began feeling very gloomy and heat. Her body temperature was rising, and she felt like being drunk. It was unexpected for her why is she feeling like that. But she didn’t tell anybody and continue to do the shoot. When their father was awake, he did not remember what did he bring from the Journey. He felt his head was high, and it was unbearable. He asked for water and felt relaxed after drinking. But still, he could not remember what did he bring. In a state of confusion and exhaustion, he left for his evening walk.
Christi, after coming back from shoot lying on her bed, thought about the skull and what she can do with it. It was beautiful, and she wants to keep it to herself. Days passed, and everything was normal, except Shristi. She used to experience extreme heat coming out from her body, and her teeth began falling. She was scared and told her mother. Even Doctor could not tell the reason for this deterioration and just referred to some med. She took the med but of no use. Her condition was becoming worse. She at Night felt like something is moving in her body and releasing a lot of heat. She drank 5–6 glasses of water. There was steam coming from inside her body. Her room was a bit cloudy. In the silence of Night and dark, suddenly she saw the Red Gem shining. It was horrible, and she tried her best to speak up and call for help, but her voice was lost. She had no control over her hands to grab something. She began crying.
The night passed, and when she woke up, her bed was wet, and her head was paining. She could not remember what happened last night. But her eyes were all sleepy and Teary. It felt like she cried a lot in Night, but Not a single thing she could remember. Anyway her shoot begun, she was feeling exhausted but still gave her 100%. Her eyes were red, and both Rahul and Akash were a bit surprised by what was happening to her. They took this as an advantage and shoot for those scenes which involved Shristi looking like an exhausted girl. But Akash noticed that her eyes color was changing from brown to Green. He thought Srishti might have used contact lenses and ignored them.
Days passed, and Nights were the same. Shristi would experience that horrific and terrible night but couldn’t remember a single thing in the morning except for a wet bed and Teary eyes. Sometimes she had 3 scratches on her hand.
Her condition deteriorated day by day, and there was a time when she woke up she was not Shristi. Her voice was changed. Bit Manly and her face was dull and had acne was a lot of hairs. She was lost, and there was someone else sitting on that bed.
When Shristi didn’t come outside of her room, her mom went inside, and to her utter surprise, she was sitting on the fan staring at the door. Her eyes were red like Rosewood, and her legs were just black and hairy. The face deteriorated.
Her Mom was scared out of this world and ran for her father. Everyone was worried and hurriedly moved towards her room. When they reached her room, there was no one. It was all dark, and blood spots could be seen on the floor. They searched in the entire house, but no one could find her. Akash went to the balcony, and the moment he took a peek outside, he saw Shristi lying down in the same pose she used to do in her shooting. Still, what more scary was she was directly looking at Akash from the ground with her red eyes and grinding teeth. The first moment in Akash's life was to see something so dangerous and ghostly in the daylight. He rushed towards the ground along with everyone, but when they reached the ground, Shristi was gone, and there were bloodspots only. They were crying, imagining about their Daughter’s Condition. Again they went towards their apartment, and in the front, Akash was running with his full might to reach her room, hoping that he may find something.
Just as they all entered the door, Akash rushed towards her room without realizing Shrishti was lying down in the Adjacent room just next to the entrance door. Everyone saw her and went towards her. She was not responding, and in the meantime, Akash reached her room to find it all filled with Blood, and it was all filled with red clouds. He checked the bathroom, and the moment he closed the door of the bathroom, Room’s door got closed, and something unearthly, small in size, and having something shining in his head was pacing up fast all around the room. Akash panicked and cried for help, but no one came. It was making rounds and rounds, and suddenly it stopped. In the room full of Clouds and blood everywhere, he could see from his teary eyes a creature not more than 3 feet having a skull like head with something shining on its head appeared. It jumped towards Akash, but he managed to save himself and threw it to the glass window. The window broke down, and that creature was out of the building. He pushed the door very hard and made it open. He was soaked up with blood, and in all dead tired moment, he went towards his family and Srishti, I who was lying unconscious. Both her father and mother were lying unresponsive, and his brother was uttering something. He was half-awakened but could not speak up. His mouth was hit by something. It was already evening, and Night was approaching. Srishti was lying dead, and Akash, in a hurry to call for help when they reached the house door, locked. The balcony was open, but he could not speak up because he lived on the apartment's top floors, and his voice was already jammed. He was crying and sensed that something came out of Shristi's room. He jumped up and turned around. It was the same creature, but this time scarier, and the red gem was shining. It approached Shristi and put its hand on her mouth. Akash was numb but could not do something. His hands were not working, and he felt paralyzed.
He tried hard to take an umbrella from nearby. With his best of capability, he threw it towards the creature, the umbrella hit at the creature's head, and it was away from Christi for a while. Akash went up and carried the creature, and with all his might, he threw it down outside the balcony. The moment he was done, Shristi woke up suddenly and ran and jumped outside the balcony in a matter of seconds.
Akash could not do anything except seeing them in utter astonishment. When he looked outside the balcony, the creature was lying dead after striking a pointing sword of a monument in the apartment's open space. Shrishti was lying in the corridor. Father and Mother were awake, and Rahul was in bad condition but still breathing. He hurriedly went down towards the ground, and Christi was taking the last breathings of her life. They took her to the hospital, and she went into a coma for 2 years. After 2 years, her situation improved, and he lived. It took her 4 years to come out of that shock, but she could not remember anything except that she searched for a scarf in Dad’s room and then fainted seeing something. Akash was watching all this and didn’t say a word to anyone about what happened and how. He sat silently thinking about the gift of life and How we are not alone….
