The Arcane Dead Body(Pavan kumar) Part-1

Jacob, Winston, and Rosie, three close pals have a blast at a restaurant on the eve of New Year. Vexed with the monotony of life, the trio decides to spend a good amount of time till 2 a.m. and then return to their respective homes accordingly. But as the clock ticks 1.30 a.m., they alert themselves and brace up to hit their spots owing to the security restrictions accompanied by eerie darkness. Jacob on his bike departs to his destination while Winston and Rosie move on via car to their residence.

On reaching home, Jacob astonishes to see a casket in front of his main door. He intimates his friends about the issue on phone and requests them to drop into his place at the earliest. As the malaise descends on him, he opens the casket and jerks back on seeing the dead laid inside. He trembles, yells, and leans against the wall because the body is of none other than one of his dearest pals. Lost in a labyrinth of the case, Jacob decides to visit Winston as well as Rosie’s residence before their arrival to cut the Gordian knot.

After a couple of minutes, Winston arrives at Jacob’s home and searches for the latter in all rooms. But failing to acquire his whereabouts, he steps over to the casket and goes crazy on seeing the severed head of his beloved friend inside. With trepidation, Winston rummages Jacobs’s home in every nook and corner and then motions to Rosie’s residence to find out the actual truth.

The moment Rosie steps out of her home to march towards Jacob’s residence, she stumbles on a casket and falls on the ground. Unable to understand its presence over there, she opens it and closes quickly on seeing only the torso of her friend.

“I dare say someone is playing a dirty game and whosoever it is will not be spared”, Saying these words to herself, Rosie races to her friend's residence in a bid to bring down the curtain on the current problem.

Part-2
Jacob casts his suspicion on Winston and thinks that the latter is behind the death of his dearest friend Rosie. He discovers Rosie’s photographs as well as a blood-stained knife under Winston’s bed and concludes that other than him nobody could dare to kill her.
“It took almost an hour and a half for me to reach home from the restaurant and in-between this period whatever sin Winston committed to satisfying his ego is despicable,” says Jacob to himself.
However, Winston holds a different view. According to his lights, it was Rosie who took the life of his beloved friend Jacob for no fault of his own. He surmises that Jacob’s rejection of the love proposal by Rosie would have landed the latter in this miserable state though the fact is something else.
“How can a woman like Rosie be so cruel and ruthless in her thoughts and actions, she pretended to be friendly with us and displayed her true hues on New Year's day,” Says Winston to himself.
Rosie’s perception of Jacob is worst. She considers him cheap, sleazy, unabashed, and a third-class person devoid of goals and objectives in life. She decides to take action against Jacob for killing her closest friend Winston.
“ I know that Jacob is as horrible as a wild animal but despite all I endured him only because of Winston’s friendship with that idiot, now he’s a hard-core criminal and should be prosecuted at any cost,” Says Rosie to herself.
The three decide not to see and talk to each other unless the mystery is solved.
Winston goes to Church to seek the help of father; Rosie hits the police station to appraise the cops of the incident while Jacob presides over to Wizard’s house to teach a lesson to Winston.
A brief conversation takes place between Jacob and the Wizard at the Latter’s house;
Jacob: I came here to seek the help yours as I am in deep trouble now,
Wizard: Tell me, what services you are expecting from me?
Jacob: There’s a dirty crook named Winston who had killed my dearest friend and is currently on a mission to finish me,
Wizard: You seem to be physically strong and sturdy, why don’t you use your energy to teach him a lesson?
Jacob: See! I did not come here to explain to you about my inability to kill this person, Will you help me or not?
Wizard: I am extremely sorry; I can’t help you in this matter,
Jacob: It's ok, I will leave, for now, Thank you,
Jacob feels chagrined and dejected and stands outside his home.
Now a conversation between Winston and the Father takes place at the Church:
Winston: Good evening father!
Father; A very good evening my son!
Winston: Could you do a small favor for me?
Father: Sure, tell me,
Winston: I lost my dearest pal a couple of days back and I suspect that he’s been deliberately murdered by a lady named Rosie,
Father: Sorry to hear! May your friends’ soul rest in peace but why would Rosie kill your friend?
Winston: Sorry for the interruption! Do you know Rosie?
Father: Yes I know her well, she is a very humble person and a habitué of the Church,
Winston: I think my airy assumptions are misguiding me!
Father: Hope so! Anyway, keep this cross pendant in your pocket always as it will protect you from an evil force,
Winston: Thanks a lot father,
Father: God bless you and take care!
Winston steps out of the Church and races to search for Rosie.
A conversation between Rosie and the cop takes place at the police station;
Rosie: Sir, I want to complain to a person named Jacob,
Cop: Jacob! Who is he?
Rosie: Sir, he is the person, who is behind the death of my friend Winston,
Cop: Ok, relax for a while; do you claim any specific evidence of your statement?
Rosie: No sir, I don’t have any strong evidence against him at present,
Cop: Then sorry madam, we can’t help you,
When Rosie takes a glance at the board comprising of the photographs of criminals inside the police station, she is shocked to notice the photo of Jacob pinned to it.
Rosie: Sir, could I know that person’s name who is donned in a black shirt?
Cop: Yes, his name is Jacob, a hardcore criminal who had been sentenced to death five years back for raping and killing a minor,
Rosie: You mean to say, he is dead now,
Cop: Yes, he is no more, but why are you so curious to know about that rascal?
Rosie: Nothing like that sir, time to go home,
Cop: Take care and do call us if you need any assistance,
Rosie: Sure sir, Thank you!
“It means Winston and I had been roaming with a ghost for the last two months and it's he who orchestrated a plan to trap and kill us” saying these words, Rosie walks away from the police station and begins her hunt for Winston.
Jacob transforms into a horrendous monster and commences his chase after Winston and Rosie. Few minutes later, the monster somehow succeeds to get hold of Rosie and mutilates her body beyond recognition.
When Winston stabs the monster with a rod from behind, the latter pulls out the rod with his hand from the front and inserts it into the eyes of the former mercilessly.
In the meantime, the Wizard arrives at the spot and with his mystique powers nails the monster to death.
The Wizard pulls out the rod from the eyes Winston with ease and heals him completely.
“I knew that Jacob is a monster and with bad intentions only he approached me for help but I have my limitations and it’s always easier for a Wizard-like me to kill the beast directly rather the beast in human form, so I waited for this moment and followed him from behind,” says Wizard these words to Winston and departs from there wishing the latter good luck.
