73.
They look around at the scary surroundings -- conscious of
the hair-rising atmosphere that has engulfed the whole place
now.
BITTU
You sure we should go in now?
RUDRA
We could come back tomorrow during
the day. I think that’d be better..
VICKY
Come on, guys. If Jana is in there
somewhere we have to find him
tonight. Tomorrow will be too late.
And starts walking. Reluctantly Rudra and Bittu follow.
RUINS
Monstrous cobwebs run from wall to wall, amidst scarred and
deformed figures of local deities. A strange energy field can
be felt at certain spots of the temple. It’s a scary place.
They come to a place that appears to have many pronged
corridors staring back at them.
Vicky silently signals to Bittu ‘you go that way’ and to
Rudra ‘you go this way’ and ‘I’ll go this way.’
Bittu signals back energetically: ‘what?!! Why the fuck are
we splitting up?’
Not really acknowledging him, Vicky and Rudra go two separate
ways. Bittu stands there undecided which way to go. Heads in
Vicky’s direction, changes his mind, heads towards Rudra.
Except he can’t see him any more. Panicky he turns -- and
can’t see Vicky either!
Shit!
He heads inside, shitting bricks.
VICKY
Vicky follows the weird and sometimes grotesque wall
carvings, shining his tiny flashlight.
He starts going through what soon turns into a maze of
passages.
A scare. As a bevy of bats noisily leave their perch and fly
past him -- almost knocking him off.
He recovers. Moves on.
He arrives at a junction, but has no clue which way he came
in from.
