Chapter - 2
Warden worriedly – Pia my child are
you all right. What happened again a nightmare?
Pia still shaking- Its ok mam. Same
old, same old. Just fire & dark & screaming that's all I heard. It's
the same dream only this time more vivid.
Warden still patting her head- Don't
worry it's a bad dream Pia it will go away as time passes. Anyways my child now
that you are awake wish you a Happy Seventeenth Birthday.
Pia looked startlingly at her than at
the clock in the wall. Yes its 5 minutes past midnight. Which means today is 18th
of October. Her birthday. But instead of feeling happy her stomach did a
soumarsault. Gulping down her fear and sense of Dj vu she looked at the
warden who has been as good as a mother to her & gave her a hug.
In a shaky voice- Thanks mam. I am
good now. Don't worry.
She pulled away and looked at her
assuringly. The warden made her drink some water and left kissing her on the
head.
Pia got out of her bed & walked
towards the open window from where the moonlight was pouring. She stood there
and talked to herself trying to remember what she saw in her dream. But try
hard as she may she can't remember anything apart from the fire & dark
smoke. Pia was afraid not because she saw a nightmare or because she can't
remember it its because it was the same nightmare that haunted her ever since
she remembered having dreams & the most weird & scary part this dream
repeated itself every year on her birthday.
This was not her hallucination. Unlike
other girls Pia finds herself awakened every year by the same nightmare on her
Birthday. The same dream fire and darkness. But why? She asked herself.
Pia (now angry on her dreams )- Why
the same dream? I am getting sick of seeing fire & dark all over again
atleast show something different. Hmph… But this time I did hear a voice whose
voice it was? Whatever it is I won't think about it its my birthday today.
She leaned out of the window &
pierced the silent night with her happy cries of Happy Birthday Pia.
Smiling to herself she went back to
sleep a dreamless sleep.
In the dense of the Black
Forest in Germany
Even in broadlight there is no light
in the deep of the forest. Canopied & covered completely by the dense
branches of the age old trees spreading overhead as though protecting its dark
secrets by barring the sunlight from peering in it.
Two hooded figures met in the jungle.
Under the hood their eyes gleamed and a satisfied smile in their face.
Man in the hood- Time is passing
quickly. The chains of events is already set in motion bidding its time to get
rolling. Now only one year for us to bear and it will fly swiftly till then all
we have to do is wait.
Iknow without Abhay you people won't like it but dont worry he will be here in the next update😊
