Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Night of Revenge

The rain had started again—heavy and relentless, just like that night.

Ayaan stood in front of Rohan's house, his eyes cold and filled with determination. There was no fear left in him anymore. Only anger… and a desire for justice.

"This ends tonight…" he whispered under his breath.

The gate creaked as he pushed it open. Everything around him felt wrong—too quiet, too still. It was as if the world itself was holding its breath.

Ayaan walked slowly towards the house, each step heavier than the last. The main door was slightly open, as if someone was expecting him.

He stepped inside. Darkness filled the room.

"Ayaan…"

A voice echoed through the silence.

He froze. That voice—it wasn't Meera's.

It was Rohan.

Rohan stepped out of the shadows, his face pale and his eyes tired, yet strangely calm.

"I knew you'd come," he said.

Ayaan clenched his fists tightly. "You killed her."

Rohan remained silent for a moment before speaking softly, "I didn't mean to."

Those words hit Ayaan like a sharp blade.

"You left her to die!" Ayaan shouted, his voice breaking with anger.

"I was scared!" Rohan snapped back. "You think I wanted this? You think I don't regret it every day?"

Silence filled the room again, heavy and suffocating.

"You loved her…" Rohan said quietly.

Ayaan didn't respond. He didn't need to.

"Then you should understand," Rohan continued. "I couldn't go to jail. I couldn't lose everything."

Ayaan's eyes burned with rage. "And she lost everything."

Suddenly, the lights flickered violently.

The air turned freezing cold.

Both of them froze.

A familiar presence filled the room.

"She's here…" Ayaan whispered.

Rohan stepped back in fear. "No… this isn't possible…"

And then—

She appeared.

Meera.

Standing between them.

Her white dress was soaked, her hair covering most of her face. Slowly, she lifted her head.

Her eyes were completely black.

"You both came…" she whispered.

Her voice echoed unnaturally, sending chills down their spines.

Ayaan stepped forward. "Meera… stop this. This isn't you."

But she didn't listen.

Her gaze slowly shifted towards Rohan.

"You left me…" she said softly.

Rohan fell to his knees. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to… please forgive me…"

But it was too late.

The darkness around her exploded, and shadows rushed forward, wrapping tightly around Rohan.

"No! NOOO!" he screamed in terror.

Ayaan watched in horror, unable to move.

"This isn't revenge…" he whispered. "This is destruction…"

Meera slowly turned towards him.

"And you…" she said softly.

"You brought me back."

Ayaan's heart stopped.

At that moment, he realized the truth—

He wasn't here to save her.

He was part of the curse.

👉 Will Ayaan stop Meera… or will everything be destroyed?
