Ruhaan's pov:

I saw her being chased by a man again. He was covering himself with a black hoodie. She was trembling in fear. I reached to help her out. She was amazed to see me there. Is this a coincidence, why does I always cross her path when she's being chased. Who's this guy chasing her? What is so different about this stupid girl? There are lots of questions on my mind.

I couldn't able to find out how could she possibly attracting problems for herself. Why am I unable to use my powers against her! Suddenly she asked something which I've never heard someone asking me, my whereabouts. Is it possible for her to see through my eyes? No one could know about a soul whether it's suffering or not unless you have a connection with them.... Either she knows how to interact with souls and demons or she must be bounded by some sort of magic. I've to find out soon before she becomes a trouble maker for me.

I saw a man approaching for her again. I wanted her to escape from him as quickly as possible but this stubborn girl wasn't ready to listen.
"LEAVE" I was forced to shout on her so she could make a run for her life, but my angry voice shook her. She stood there with the sparkling tears in her eyes. For a second, her pitiful teary eyes distracted me but Sorry pretty lady at this point I couldn't afford sympathies for stupid and emotional fools as I'm already dead and emotionless.

Soon a guy approached her but he wasn't the one chasing her. He was the one who helped her, the other night, his name was Zain probably. This must be a coincidence but the guy chasing her, then she met me, I got disappeared and soon this guy's entry as a saviour...twice...something is odd here.

I'm not gonna give up on this mystrey even if that means I've to get closer to her...! "Mission Ifza is on!!"

Ifza's pov:

His pace was faster, in no time he was gone and I stood there, tears were rolling down my cheeks.

I don't know what was wrong with him, neither I could figure out why he behaved in such a way. Soon another jerk sets in. Today probably the second worst day ever to deal with these two arrogant pricks, however first was the night at the bus stop.

"please Zain don't ask me anything, just drop me at home" I don't feel like talking to him right now neither on his topic nor on why am I crying here standing alone so I just decided to ignore him.

"Ahem...we've reached" Zain interrupted my lost and depressed thoughts. "If-Ifza!" Zain's hesitating voice stopped me from entering the house. "Ifza I wanted to talk to you abo" without giving him a chance to finish his sentence, I interrupted him "No Zain, I don't want to talk about these things right now. Please understand, now it's not the correct time"

"No worries! I just want you to know I'll wait as long as you want me to, you take your time, just remember I'll be there for you always. But please don't cry...tears doesn't suit your eyes or atleast I can't bear those tears in your eyes...I'll never be the worst option for you." he held my crying face in his hands and wiped off the tears tracing his thumbs on my cheeks. "Princess!! Please consider me" he whispered filling the space between us. I could feel the pain in his voice. For the very first time I felt him pleasing, for a second I wanted to hug him and cry my heart out. I wanted to tell him how these dreams are torchering me.

"I will " I replied him with a warm smile taking a step backwards and I hurried inside when I heard my mom calling me out.

Baba was sitting in the lounge. I quickly gave him a hug greeting him. "who dropped you here" he asked even though he was aware of the answer. "Zain did" I mumbled. "Ahh!! Zain. He's always ready to help especially you." I could sense the hidden hints in his sentences. " What do you think-" I intruded his interrogation, screaming "No baba, please not now. I won't answer you" I ran into my room escaping the interview.

There's a lot happened in just one day. This mysterious gentleman Ruhaan showed his real ill mannered side. And this jerk Zain made me realize he wasn't the one he always pretends. Ughh my head started spinning so I layed down for a quick nap.

*Dreams*

I was surrounded by the fog, I couldn't able to see anything as it was darker than expected. I could see a man standing in front of me whispering some weird language I never heard of. His voice was scariest.His appearance was much more similar to Zain's.

"Za-Zain is th-at you" I started walking towards him. With each step forward his voice was getting louder, faster and way more scarier and after a few steps the atmosphere was filled with the foul and decaying smell. The ground was full of blood, his body was bleeding too. "Zain...ZAIN" I started screaming louder this time. His voice got more stronger as I entered a circle where I stumbled and fell on a dead body it was also covered with blood. I was horrified when I found surrounding myself with dead and eaten bodies. The guy was eating the flesh of those dead bodies. Before I could scream louder I was dragged forcefully in the opposite direction. The guy who dragged me was Ruhaan. His grip tighten around my wrist as he pulled me closer to him and whispered "do not scream. If he heard you, you'll become his freshly served desert." how could he joke around in such a deadly situation. "please save me, I don't want to die" I pleaded him.

" Shhh!! It's not the time to cry. We have to run without him noticing us." his voice was very low so that beast couldn't hear us.

We were successful in escaping him. I was tired of running. I stood near a tree panting and breathing my lungs out. I felt the strange presence behind me which made me squeal. "what was it Ifza?" his voice became more tensed and his grip became more stronger around my hand. "I felt like someone is coming" "Ohh God! Ifza he could smell your blood. We've to run farther." he dragged me again with a high speed.

"Princess please come to me".While running I heard Zain calling me. "Ruhaan stop. Za-Zain he's here. He's calling me" "No Ifza don't stop just run...its your dream but you have to run for now so focus on running. " he wasn't stopping. "Princess please save me" Zain's voice was pleading me. I could feel as he was in pain. "No. Ruhaan please stop. Zain needs my help orelse he'll eat him too,please help him" I started crying.

"don't trust on anyone...it's a trap.. Just run..run for your life.. Save yourself!!" he wasn't stopping to run till we reached the centre of the dark forest. "it isn't just the dream or my hallucination..it is real right? These all are actually happening? ANSWER ME RUHAAN!!" my tone got angrier demanding my answers from him.

" do not get involved in these things Ifza, I repeat do not. If you overcome these situations just remember to run. I'm warning you not to trust anyone and stay away from these things...run as fast as and as far as possible." his warning gave chills. Goosebumps erected all over my body and my heart skipped a beat which made me dizzy and I collapsed.

*Dream ends*

Ifza's pov :

I immediately woke up and found my self on my bed. The time was around 3am in the morning. Every bit of my dream seems so real. My head was heavy and I was sweating, gasping larger breathes as I was tired of running in the dream. Ruhaan's warning scared the hell out of me.

First thing came to my mind after waking up was to call Zain. "Hello? Ifza? You are calling at this hour. Everything is alright? " on hearing his voice I was relaxed and happy because he's safe. "Nothing Zain, just wanted to talk to you. How are you? Everything is fine right?" I tried hiding the worry in my voice but he got the clue. "I'm fine here but you doesn't seem to be fine. Want me to come over?" his voice was more concerned. There was a long pause before he continued "Hey Ifza if you are worried because of what I said in the morning then please don't. I mean it, each and every word I said to you, I mean all of them. Waiting for you is probably be the best thing I could do in my life without any regrets. So please relax and get some rest..okay?" he added.

"Okay Zain...Allah Hafiz" I greeted him and hung the call immediately. Why is he being so extra nice to me today. Ugh!!

Ruhaan's pov:

When I entered her room she was sleeping and probably having a bad dream. I tried getting through her mind and luckily I was successful. Her dream was something I wasn't expecting. It was dark and dragging her towards hell. Before she could fell for her own death I dragged her out of that situation and warned her to stay away form these things I hope she listens to me or else there is no good for her. And I should immediately have to take actions to stop her and get my answers as well or else she may end up dying and getting captured here as I am.
