    "Well, I know what you have been going through from last few days. I would recommend you to take some rest from your work, Dr Shelley"

    Realizing something, she at once raised from her bed.
    "For how long I have been unconscious, doctor?"
    "Hmm...nearly two hours but why are you looking so worried...Is there anything troubling you...?"
    "I have to go now" saying that she immediately hurried out of the ward. The doctor's alarming voice faded behind her. Shelley took out her phone hastily and instantly dialed a number "Dr Watson, I need to see the post-mortem reports of Lucy Blair." And after taking some consultations he agreed.
    It took her half an hour drive to reach the hospital. Dr Watson met her at the entrance and then showed her the documents and asked her if she needed any assistance. Shelly thanked him for approving her request and asked him for some time alone. At once the doctor left the room.
    Putting the documents on nearby table she began to examine the report carefully. As she had heard before, there were no signs of external injuries on her body and the time of death was expected to be around 3 am early morning on Wednesday. Shelley remembered Lucy mentioning about visiting that resort on Saturday and it was nearly four days later she was found dead in her apartment. According to that it was her "second day" she thought and it gave her a chill deep down her spine.
    But then she saw something peculiar amongst the photographs. Near her right wrist there was a small engraving of an inverted cross and as much as she could remember Lucy never had that in her last session. She raised from her seat and left the room quickly. On her way back she found Dr Watson in the lobby.
    "Are you done, Dr Shelley?"
    "Y..es... doctor. Thank you for your help"
    "It's really very strange, in some cases of liver mortis we found purplish or dark blood in post mortem but nothing like this it's..." before he could complete his sentence he was summoned by his fellow colleague. Shelley after greeting him right away took her leave.
    While sitting on her car she started browsing about that resort online. To her surprise she found out that there were so many dissapearing cases associated with that remort place.
    And then suddenly she felt like someone was choking her from inside. She could not breath and as soon as was going to collapse she saw a glimpse of a lady in black dress standing in front of a small cottage holding a bleeding head of a goat in her right hand, showing of her upside down engraved cross on the wrist.

    Subsequently everything become pitch black.
