Dhruv and John tried to shake off the unnerving experience as they returned to their camp later that evening. They joked about how the guide must have been exaggerating the legend to scare them. But the eerie feeling of being watched lingered, especially for John, who couldn't forget the old man's hollow eyes.
That night, as they lay in their tents, the jungle was unusually quiet. The usual sounds of chirping insects and rustling leaves had been replaced by an unsettling silence. John couldn't sleep; his mind kept drifting back to the figure in the mist. Every time he closed his eyes, he felt the man's gaze burning into him.
Suddenly, John heard a faint whisper outside his tent. His heart pounded. He strained to listen, but the whispering was too soft to make out. Gathering his courage, he unzipped the tent and stepped into the moonlit night. The forest was still, but as he scanned the trees, he saw it again—the same old man, standing in the distance, watching him.
“Dhruv!” John shouted, backing up. His voice was shaky, but he needed his friend to see what he was seeing. Dhruv stumbled out of his tent, rubbing his eyes. "What's going on?"
John pointed toward the trees, but the figure had vanished. “He was there… watching me,” John whispered. Dhruv tried to calm him down, but John's panic was contagious.
Then, just as they were about to return to their tents, a loud crack echoed from the jungle, followed by that same bone-chilling cry they had heard earlier. It sounded closer now, almost human, but twisted with pain. The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly as if something massive was moving through the forest.
Suddenly, their guide rushed into the campsite, his face drained of color. "We need to leave. Now!" he urged, not bothering to explain. He led them toward the jeep, but before they could reach it, a dense fog rolled in, covering the path ahead.
In the fog, Dhruv saw flickering shadows, not just one, but many—figures moving silently between the trees. John froze, recognizing the old man among them. This time, the figures were not just watching—they were approaching.
“We're not alone,” Dhruv muttered, his voice barely a whisper.
The Kerala travel guide , now panicking, shouted for them to run. But no matter how fast they moved, the figures seemed to glide effortlessly closer, their whispers growing louder, filling their ears with incomprehensible words. Dhruv felt a cold hand brush his arm, and in the mist, he saw a glimpse of ancient, haunted eyes staring back at him.
John tripped, falling to the ground as the figures loomed over him. Desperate, Dhruv grabbed his friend and pulled him up, but something was wrong. John's face had gone pale, his eyes wide with terror. “I saw them... I saw their faces,” John whispered, his voice cracking. "They're not human."
The jeep came into view, and they scrambled inside, slamming the doors behind them. As the guide sped away from the cursed jungle, the whispers faded, but the terror remained etched in their minds.
Dhruv glanced at John, but his friend was staring blankly out the window, unblinking. Whatever they had encountered in Periyar was far from over. And in John's haunted eyes, Dhruv knew the jungle had marked them.
