Secrets In The Shadows

 

Ch1 Part 2 Adventures of Sophia 

"Sophia in Mt. Chingotle" 

Everybody tried stopping her, but her decision was final and no way she was going to back off her decision she was firm, her mother could see it in her eyes.

But she decided to go to Mr. Morris the oldest person in Telnor Town hoping that she would get some information from him about the MYSTERIOUS Mt. Chingotle.

She went to his place. It was an old, muddy, big, rusty bungalow with a partially broken roof. She went in and called for Mr. Morris there was no reply she went to the second floor and off pushed a old big about 7 feet tall door. It was jammed, she tried harder and finally opened it. It looked like an old attic there were some books, a study table with a table lamp and all over the place there were cobwebs. There was another door in the room. She pushed it. It wasn't as jammed as the previous door. There was Mr. Morris making tea. 'What a strange place to make tea' she thought.

'Anyways' she thought and greeted Mr. Morris,

"Hello Sir."

"Who?","Oh Sophia come sit, will you have some tea?"

"No thank you sir, but how do you know my name?"

He then turned around. He had small eyes, wrinkles on his face. He smiled. He had only a couple of teeth left.

"Aren't you the same girl who is willing to summit the UNKNOWN Mt Chingotle?"

"Yes" she said

"What are you here for then?" asked Mr. Morris.

"Sir I was here to ask you if you know anything about Mt. Chingotle?"

"Hmm…" he took a long deep breath and started narrating.

"Mt. Chingotle is said to be a very dangerous place. All the people who go there have never returned, even your, father went there ages ago and hasn't returned yet. Carry some weapons for self defense, Be alert on every single step, you cannot trust anything or anyone there."

He looked at Sophia's bag and thought something. It was clearly visible on his face.

Sophia said "Any problem Sir?"

He replied, "Sophia, Mt. Chingotle is almost a never ending mountain, so you need to be prepared for an overnight stay."

"Ok thank you sir. Anything else you would like to tell me sir?" Sophia said.

 Mr. Morris said "I think that it's enough, you are prepared for Mt. Chingotle. Be safe, you have my blessings"

Sophia went back home and prepared for a stay. She soon started towards where Mt. Chingotle was located. She soon reached the end of the village. The whole village had come to see her off. She looked at her worried mother, gave a final smile and went forward.

She was their last hope of curing Ms. Olivia

It was afternoon time. The scorching heat of the sun was burning her skin. After some time she took some rest under a stone because tree was not visible for a long distance. She opened her bag to get some water, but there was something else on top of it, it was rectangular.

She pulled it out it was a box a Tiffin box. She opened it and guess what it was her favourite cheese burger. "Ma…" she exclaimed with joy.

She continued her journey further. Soon she reached the base of Mt. Chingotle. She looked up it was literally a never ending mountain. She went further and started climbing it. She climbed some of it and by then it was starting to get dark. So she made some arrangements for sleeping and took some rest after the long tiry day.

Suddenly there was piercing shriek from the bush. Sophia immediately woke up and removed the knife from her bag. She then went ahead and set aside the bushes and what she saw was unexpected, very unexpected…..!!!!!
