The Serpent Girl

My name is Nimra. Every summer vacation, I visited my grandmother’s home in a small, quiet village. It was the kind of place where even time seemed to slow down — no internet, no traffic, just endless fields and the sound of birds.

But that summer… something was different.

I noticed the old mansion across from my grandmother’s house.

The Mansion’s Secret

It looked abandoned — broken windows, rusted gates, and a kite stuck on the roof that had never moved even in the strongest winds.

One day, while I was on the rooftop, I saw a girl staring at me from the broken window of the mansion.

She didn’t blink.

She didn’t move.

I rushed downstairs and asked my grandmother, “Who lives in that house?”

Her face turned pale.

“Don’t ever look at that place, Nimra,” she whispered. “A Serpent Girl lives there.”

The Legend of the Serpent Girl

Years ago, a girl was born in this village — half human, half snake. People believed she was cursed. Out of fear and shame, they locked her in that mansion.

Before she died, she swore vengeance.

She promised to return every 20 years…

and take a new girl’s body as her own.

This year… it had been exactly 20 years.

I laughed at the story, brushing it off.

But my grandmother didn’t laugh.

The Night It All Began

Three days later, I had a dream. In it, I was inside the mansion. The walls were cracking, snakes slithered from every corner, and right in the middle stood the girl — human from the top, serpent from the waist down.

She smiled at me.

When I woke up, my hands and feet were covered in mud.

But I had cleaned myself before going to bed…

The Changes Began

In the days that followed, strange things started happening:

I began seeing snakes in my dreams — always watching me.

My hands sometimes turned cold and scaly.

I avoided mirrors.

I stopped going near people.

One day, I noticed the way I walked had changed. I wasn’t walking…

I was gliding.

Grandmother’s Final Warning

My grandmother hugged me tight one evening and whispered:

“If she’s entered you… then nothing can stop her this time.”

That night, I silently walked out of the house.

The Village Today

No one has seen me since.

The mansion remains locked.

Villagers say that on some nights, they hear whispers and hissing coming from the mansion… and sometimes, the sound of a girl crying.

But the scariest thing?

They say if you look too long into the eyes of certain girls in the village…

you’ll feel something cold watching you from deep inside.
