Ifza's pov :

"Ifza......Ifza...!!!" I heard an unfamiliar voice calling me. I checked the time and it was almost 2:30am. Everything in my surroundings was quite only I could hear is the whispering unfamiliar manly voice calling me. "Wh-Who's there?" I started walking out of my room. When I stepped out of my room I stumbled on something soft which made me scream and I started crying aloud. I sat near the doorway covering my face with my hands. "Ifza!! What happened??" I heard dad. 

"Dad...."  I cried hugging him. "someone....someone was calling me. His voice scared me. The-then something fell on my legs.." tears were rolling non stop. Dad started laughing. "look, it's a teddy. You got scared of a teddy bear Princess." he handed me the teddy bear which I received in a hamper. How it came here last thing I remembered I kept it in the cupboard. "you probably had a bad dream. Go and sleep now. Do not listen to any voice and sleeep" he ordered me and went back to his room. I was amused on his strange serious voice.

I took the teddy in my hands feeling embarrassed to get scared of this toy Huh. I punched his face and kept it beside my bed and slept again.

"ouch!! It hurts." I heard the same voice complaining me. I woke up to find no one around. The voice mumbled again "you shouldn't have punched my face." I realised it is the teddy bear who keep talking. My eyes grew wider in shock on listening a toy speaking to me. I dared to touch the teddy again but it didn't respond.  "Ahhh!! I thought you were making the noise. Thank god!"

"you want me to?" it replied. My reflex actions immediately threw the toy on the floor but it keeps on murmuring. "it hurts. Don't hurt me Gorgeous. I love you." as soon as it got crashed on the floor it started bleeding. I wanted to scream a loud but I couldn't. My vocal chords were frozed. I couldn't even move my lips. Then the teddy stared tearing himself up and took out a human heart and came forward handling it to me.

I almost died in there when a thought crossed my mind. I started throwing the items kept near my bed so I could make the noise and give signals to my parents. "Don't do it Princess..I'm here to have a look on you. I'll never harm you,trust me.." and it stared laughing. I was pleading him still unable to speak. My pleas made it laugh louder and louder and suddenly I saw the door open. It was my dad again. When I glanced back to the toy I wasn't there. It got disappeared and thankfully I was able to speak again.

"Baba...." I hugged him tightly. "Baba when you came to my room....you found this teddy..." I couldn't find it anymore. But more frightening thing was Dad's words. "When did I came here? And what teddy you are talking about? You probably had a bad dream..."  at this point I don't know what to think, how to believe what just happened, all the incidents banged my head making me collapse.

When I woke up I found mom dad sitting either side of me. My eyes filled with tears and I hugged them. Dad gave a warning not to move from the bed. I was probably home grounded.

I was scared and bored too, I decided to call Ramsh over as today is Friday we don't have any classes.

When Ramsh came I bombarded her with my deadly dream sequence.

"oh my god Ifzz!! This was freaking scary. Have you talked about this to your parents."

"Come-on Ramsh!! I can't. You know right."

" don't be stupid Ifza these dreams.... I think....." she paused for a moment probably struggling to find correct words. She then continued "I think you are haunted through your dreams by some spirits"

"Ahhhhh!!!!! Don't scare me" I screamed.

"okay okay, I'm sorry but please atleast talk about them to your parents they might help you" when I heard this idea of her, I recalled the plan to meet Ruhaan this afternoon. It was 1pm already. I quickly woke up to get ready.

"Ramsh. Please help me sneak out from here. I've to go somewhere."

"hello!!! Have you gone mad.... I can't. Uncle Zafar would kill me for this. I'm sorry". She refused me as I'm home grounded and baba will never give me permission for going out.

"It's very urgent and important. Please help me out....please please please...." I said pouting so she could not refuse me.

"okay but tell me where are you going and what's more important than uncle's restrictions."

" I've to meet someone who knows about my dreams, he said he'll help me out. Now please talk to baba. If you'll say he'll definitely allow me."

"Who's this guy and how do you know him??"

"I'll tell you when I get back. Let's go"

Luckily baba gave us permission to go out but he gave us the time limit and I've to get back within the time. Ramsh went back home and I continued my way to the park.

"You are late, gorgeous" he was already there waiting for me.

"I'm sorry I got held up"

"thought you forgot about the deal, come have a seat." he offered me to sit. At least he could have changed the setup instead of using Zain's arrangements. LAZY!!

"Your boyfriend's taste isn't bad but he lack manners. Came late to his date and let the girl go empty stomach. You didn't got a better one?" his sarcasm is as rude as him.

"he's not my boy......" "never mind, let's have something first. I'm not like him not to offer you food." he interrupted me just to piss me off by insulting Zain. He doesn't know anything about him, how could he be so mean always being rude and disrespectful.

"firstly I'm not here to eat something and secondly he is Zain and stop insulting him. He couldn't make it here because he had some work to do unlike you to roam here and there." I spatted unknowingly and his expressions got changed to a bit irritated kind.

He set the table with the Chinese food ignoring my words. Thank god. He didn't pay attention to my rude behavior. If I have to ask him about the dreams I have to be calm and patient to deal with him.

He arranged the table with God knows what these dished are. I haven't seen, listened their names before. All of them were tempting, my mouth filled with water. Seeing me drool he whispered in a soft seductive voice. "Please go ahead my lady". MY LADY!!! why am I yours? Why are you calling me 'my lady' Ughhh.

"your cheeks, they are all red." his cold hands touched my cheeks giving me chills. I shrugged and my heart skipped a beat. He chuckled on my reaction quickly taking his hands off my cheeks. "your hands, they are very cool..."

"yeah I keep them in freezer daily for two or more hours." what a lame joke.

"I should laugh I guess HAHAHA". We both then laughed a harder. My mind was fresh again all the fear and anxiety of today's dream just got vanished by spending time with him.

"Ruhaan. I had a very bad dream today. Not just today I see them regularly." I started the actual conversation which made his expressions change again like he was dragged back into the reality form his la-la land.

"What kind of dreams...you have to specify clearly without leaving any detail, understood?"

"No first tell me how do you know about these things. How do you always come to help me escaping these things. You surely know something. Please tell me."

"I used to have these dreams. They used haunt me till death."

"what??" till death??? What the hell that means?

"I mean 'to death'. I saw a girl running asking me to help daily when I try reaching to help her, she gets dragged into the darkness"

"I guess I'm that girl because I have these dreams. I saw a man with blazing red eyes before I could reach him I get dragged into the darkness."
His expressions changed to serious one repeating "Blazing red eyes?"

"what about today's dream?" I narrated him the whole scenario.

" I was crying when Baba said he didn't even came to my room. Trust me I'm not lying. All of these I'm not lying. Everything happening around me is real. I could feel it." I'm an idiot to cry infront of him.

Seeing me cry he leaned over and held my face between his cold palms and traced my tears wiping them. Adrenaline rushed over turning my cheeks red and increasing my heartbeats. There was a long pause neither of us uttering a word. His thumb on cheeks slowly moved towards my lips. His gaze was fixed on me without even blinking. Probably he could even hear the sound of my heartbeat getting faster and louder when his eyes shifted to my lower lip. My mind and my heart stopped responding me, I stood there like a numb statue. Finally he broke the silence.

"don't cry....I'm here. I'll help you." he mumbled still holding my face. He then took his hands off moving a step forward, I could notice his changing expressions getting tense.

" First thing, without letting know anyone pack that toy and throw it as far as possible. Secondly don't you dare try talking to that voice. If you hear it then pray all the salutations you know. Don't get scared I'll help you in every possible way. I need to go." he instructed me and was all set to go. Why he always run away without having a proper chat.

"please don't leave me" I grabbed his hand pleading. I don't know what was wrong with my mind but I couldn't think of anything else.

"I've to go gorgeous but we'll meet soon, I promise."

He promised me and left.

Ruhaan's pov :

Her dreams definitely indicate some spiritual powers getting involved in her life. I have to lie to make her believe I'm having the same dreams so she could open up easily and give me the details about her dreams.

When she started crying I couldn't able  to hold myself. Her tears were making me weak. Why is she having such impact on me. I felt a connection with her today when I rubbed my thumb on her cheeks. It is not a coincidence to have such feelings after being dead and becoming a haunting creature.

I think it's the time I should talk to him. Only he could help me and as well as her. I've to find him atleast for her. I don't know why but I want her to be safe or else she could end up like me or even worse.
