chapter twelve

Mick POV
I entered the bathroom to take a shower.
I hate having a cold, a stupid headache and running nose are just too much to handle.
After taking a shower, I wore a blue plain shirt and black shorts. I looked at my hair which was very messy, I ruffly combed it and applied hair cream on it.
Shortly after I was done, I entered the living room and turned on the Tv.
I kept blowing my nose as I was watching the movie.
“ Turn around lady, he’s behind you, “ I said to myself
Watching Indian movies can be so annoying sometimes,
“ O lord, I can’t watch this crap, “ I said as I changed the channel
“ This looks better “ I mumbled
I was watching the movie when my stomach started rumbling
“ I need to eat something, “ I thought
I paused the movie and walked into the kitchen to get something.
I opened the fridge and checked but I didn’t find anything adequate to eat.
Immediately I opened the cupboard, and the first thing I saw was a chip bag.
“ This looks delicious, “ I thought
I opened the chip bag and ate a piece
“ O my God, “ I said as I rapidly spit in the sink and used water to rinse my mouth
I entered the pantry to get some food items when I noticed something
“ I have been here before, how come I haven’t noticed this before, “ I thought
I instantly took the box, I looked at the box for almost a minute. The box looked very antique, it is a bit creepy I tried to open it but couldn’t. I held the box with my left hand as I worked into the living room and
took a seat, I placed the box on my lap after I adjusted my sitting position. I was about to open the box when I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around but there was no one behind me.
“ Maybe I’m imagining things, “ I thought
Immediately after I opened the box, a strong wind blew in as the windows started banging.
I kept the box on the couch before I stood up to close the window. I sat down on the couch before I took a close look at the box, it looked like a music box
“ I never thought this is how an antique music box looks like,” I thought
The box had three buttons on it, I pressed the first button and the music started playing, the tone of the music was a little weird.
“ maybe this is how aged music is, “ I thought
The tune played for almost a minute before it started cracking, I pressed the button again and it didn’t work
“ Might be broken “ I said as I dropped it on the center table.
I took a tissue and blew my nose before I took my phone and checked for a restaurant nearby. It took me a while to find a restaurant that delivers anywhere in the wind-land .
I quickly dialed their number
“ Hello, this is an all-round pizza palace how may I help you “
“ I will like to order a medium size spicy chicken pizza with mushrooms as toppings “
“ Okay sir, please kindly share your location to this number and we will be at your doorstep in twenty to thirty minutes “
 
I did as he said before I pressed play and continued watching the movie. Immediately I pressed play, the music box started playing
“ What’s wrong with a bizarre music box, I thought it was broken, “I said to myself
I paused the movie and held the music box, the music wasn’t audible but I could hear the tone, my hands began itching me immediately after I held the box, it was like it was burning, and I plopped the box on the floor and the music stopped.
My heart raced fast as I noticed my hands were burnt
“ How is that possible “ I panicked
I rushed to my room and applied an ointment to my hand.
After I applied the ointment, I went back to the living room and sat down before I pressed play, but the remote didn’t work, I tried again and the television went off
“ What is wrong with everything, “ I thought
I was about to leave the room when the television turned on, I turned around and was horrified by what I saw
“ No! No! No. this isn’t possible, it can’t be possible “ I screamed
The tv screen showed the exact thing that happened a few minutes ago, how I took the music box out of the pantry and opened it.
My mind was asking billions of questions as my heart was racing fast.
I stood at the edge of the room when my phone rang.
My hands trembled as I answered the call
“ Hello “ I stammered
“ Hello sir, I wasn’t able to find your location, are you sure you sent me the right address “
“ Who is this “
“ Sir it’s the delivery guy you called earlier”
“ I forgot about that, “ my inner voice said
“ Sir are you still there “ he instantly asked
“ Yes, the address I sent you is the right one “
“ Sorry to say but your address doesn’t exist sir “
“ What do mean “
“ Sir, your address doesn't exist “
“ Are you sure “
“ Wait a minute, is this a prank call? cause if it’s a prank then it’s not funny “ he said as he hanged up the call.
Immediately he hanged up the call, I checked my location, I took a deep breath as I swallowed my saliva when I saw it wasn’t on the map.
My heart sprinted fast when the music started playing abruptly. I wasn’t able to breathe properly as I managed to dial Lyon’s number
“ Pick up call Lyon “
I turned around immediately I felt a tap on my shoulder, my breath began to cease, I fell to the floor as my vision became blurry, I began panting when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, I looked down and saw I was bleeding.
I wasn't able to hear the sound of anything as the music was very loud.
“ Ahh “ I shouted immediately I felt a sharp pain in my back.
