Chapter 2-Part 2

Ms.Amanda told that this swamp was once a beautiful picnic spot,One day a man carrying a deadly virus came to the picnic spot and all the people present there got infected and died after a few days from Fever. After no one took care of the place and it became a swamp and was called “Fever Swamp” in remembrance of the incident. The place had been closed down for years but recently some scientists with their latest equipment came here and cleared the swamp of all viruses and made it public again. She also told them that there had been a lot of mysterious sightings over the past few days.

People claim to have seen strange creatures that come out at night to hunt. As scientists never had any proof of such things they closed the case saying it was a fake. But Adam and his fellow classmates were soon going to find out because the sun was setting and everything was becoming dark. The students wondered if the sun set here quickly or did they have a problem with their watches because it was still only 5 P.M. The mysterious creatures were called “The Bog Monsters” and these creatures evolved from the Fever Virus which was the cause of many deaths. Now it had become completely dark and their only source of light came from the thin sliver of moon that hanging in the clouds. Kristen and Tommy were standing just beside Adam but he could only hear their trembling voices and not see them as it was too dark to see anything. He knew that they were terrified of The Bog Monsters that came out at night to hunt people. Even he was scared and felt cold sweat trickle down his chin. Then the whole class suddenly turned because of a strange sound and they spotted a Big Bog which was bubbling like as if it was some liquid in a cauldron which was being boiled over a thousand degrees.

“Pooja wake up, time to go to classes”, said a voice trying to wake up the half asleep girl to which the girl replied, “Mom today's the first day of school I don't want to go to Verma coaching institute at least once“ The girl's mother was now annoyed and sternly replied, “I don’t care if it’s your first day of school or not you are not going to miss even one day of coaching classes Pandu” That was it ”Mom don’t call me Pandu I am not 7 year old, I used to like it when I was little but now it’s strange so stop it and ok ok I will get ready soon” She quickly got ready and as usual her father dropped at the Coaching Center. He then said that he would come and pick her up after the classes and went away. Pooja was already late and she was walking fast towards the steps she stopped when she heard the footsteps of someone coming quickly towards her.

One such Saturday evening while she was working on the Flower Beds near the Entrance Gate, she was working without a care in the world, Ravi came and joined her and they were working so hard that they got mud spots in many places on their faces and then Ravi asked Pooja,"Hey Pooja, how is it that you manage to come twice every week while others want to skip their share of work by giving some reasons." To this Pooja smiled shyly and replied,"Well Ravi the thing is that, I have a lot of childhood memories of playing in this green lot and I didn'...
