Chapter48

Evelyn

I opened my eyes as I heard a rattling sound... I wonder where its coming from. I saw Blake sleeping peacefully beside me, he look so cute... I brushed away some of his locks which were on his forehead. I jolted when I heard the same sound, I thought to go and check if I heard it again. I waited and waited and then I heard a door opening and clicking sound....

Struggling awhile to remove Blake's arm from my waist which is quite hard I finally got up grabbing my mobile and noticed its 1 in morning.. I slowly walked to door and opening it without making noise I slipped outside and saw other rooms were shut....

Who'd roam in corridors at this time?

I climbed downstairs and checked on all doors with the help of torch on my mobile... I passed Derek and Harry who were passed out on small couch... I walked to the store room which I remembered Blake didn't let me in saying there are some old stuff there... I shrugged thinking it wouldn't cause any loss if I check once, so twisting the door knob I opened the door and a gush of wind hit my face causing my hair to block my view....

I tucked them away irritatingly behind my ear and gasped when I saw a figure standing there a few feet away from me holding a gun in his hand , I panicked and thought how the hell did this guy reached inside when all the doors were locked.... I spotted the torch light at him and he turned around to face me....

He's a man of Blake's height and his face was covered with a black mask... His grey eyes filled with anger and rage... He took a step in my direction and pointed the gun at me.... I turned around to get Blake but to my surprise I bumped into a hard chest.... Dread filled in me and closing my eyes I prayed god that it should be any of my friends and not the mysterious guys who invaded into our house.....

"Eve....what are you doing here?" I heard a familiar voice and looked up to see Harry staring down at me with worry itched on his face. I let out a shaky breath and turned around to see the mysterious guy gone already....whirling around I caught Harry's shoulder " Harry... I saw someone here awhile ago..." I managed to speak taking breathes....

"What?" he asked narrowing his eyes at me.

"Yes... There's someone in here... I just saw him here" I repeated pointing at the large white board which is fixed to the wall.

"Okay okay... Lets get you out of here first. Come on" he took me out of the store room to living room and made me to sit down on carpet as there are no extra couches here....

"Here take this..." he handed me a water bottle and I gulped down closing my eyes...

"So what are you doing here at 2 in the morning? Where's Blake? We should call him..." saying this he got up but I stopped him "No no... Harry. Please don't disturb him... I'm okay now" he nodded and sat across me.

"Tell me from the first..." he spoke looking determined to know what happened exactly... I let out a sigh and opened my mouth...

"I came down when I heard a rattling sound more than twice... I checked if the doors were closed and then I went to store room and saw a guy standing there with his back facing me. He turned around and I saw his eyes were red with rage filled and then he disappeared when you came to me... " I explained massaging my forehead with fingers.

Without saying anything Harry stood and walked away.. After a minute he came back sighing and sat down. Taking my hands in his he stared at me with the same worry written on his face " Eve... The doors are locked. There can be no chance that someone entered inside without us knowing..." he spoke in smooth voice.

I shook my head vigorously at him "I saw him Harry... Why don't you believe me. He had a gun and... And.. May be there's an underground entry or something somewhere in this house..I saw him, he's about to reach me but you came suddenly and then he disappeared!" I rattled trying to keep my voice as low as possible.

"It can be your hallucination Eve... No one's here... I checked thoroughly!" he assured squeezing my hands.

No no... It can't be my imagination or hallucination.. There's someone inside there.. I saw him for sure!

Who the hell is he? How did he entered inside? And then he had gun? For what? Killing? Who? Me?

My body shook as panic settled inside me.. Harry brought my body close to him hugging me and assured that its nothing and that I don't need to be worried... A little five minutes later I pulled away....

"I think I need to go back to sleep.. Sorry for disturbing you Harry" I stood up and tried to walk away but he caught my wrist turning me around. He stared at me and I noticed his tired face even though he looked handsome, cupping my face he spoke "You don't need to say sorry Evelyn. We can talk tomorrow,Don't worry okay. Good night" I nodded and giving him a last look I ran upstairs to my room and opened the door slowly to not disturb my boyfriend...

As expected he's asleep and in same place when I left an hour ago.. I slowly got underneath the sheets and swung his arm around my waist, instantly his grip tightened in place and I felt my body relaxing beside him.... I closed my eyes, without thinking about the mysterious man I drifted to sleep...

.........................

In the morning I got up to be wished by empty bed, Blake's not beside me. Taking a shower I went downstairs and greeted by my friends, they all look so fresh and happy.

Harry came near me and asked "Are you okay?"  I just nodded at him giving a fake smile but being him, he knows that I'm not okay... He took to corridor and looked around if anyone's here...

"Forget it Eve... There's no one here last night. Don't burden your head with these nonsense!" 

I let out a sigh and nodded weakly at him... "Do you intend on telling Blake?" he asked stuffing his hands in jean pockets.

"No no... He would worry for nothing. I'm not planning on telling him and you too... Please promise me"  I stated looking at his eyes warningly... He took my hand and squeezed it while nodding.

"What you guys doing here?" We heard Blake's voice from behind, turning around we saw him leaning on door frame and staring at us. His brown eyes went down, squinting at  our intertwined hands and suddenly I pulled my hand from Harry's hold. We pulled apart and I rushed towards Blake giving him a smile I spoke "Nothing... We're just discussing about our plans today. Right Harry?"  I darted my eyes on Harry. He nodded and left from there, leaving us alone.

"Are you okay?" he asked pulling me in for a hug. I nodded inhaling his scent and my eyes closed involuntarily.

"Let's go and join the rest of them..." we went towards our friends.

As planned Flora prepared lunch adding too much spicy and also we hid the drinks from fridge.... We had a lot of fun watching boys requesting to hand their drinks....

After that we planned on going to paintball shooting, Noah came with this idea saying it'd be fun as the station is right a few miles away from the house. So after an hour I changed into my dark jeans and a black top, putting my hair into ponytail and applying some gloss to my lips - I'm ready for shooting...

"Someone is eager to play this game" I heard Blake's husky voice from behind and before I can turn around to face him, he snaked his hands round my waist and lifted me up.

"Ahhh.....what are you doing?"  I yelled hitting his chest.

He giggled walking towards bed and dropped me on the mattress, he then hovered above me and started kissing me until we heard Flora's whining from outside "Guys... You can suck your faces later. Let's go now!"  I shoved Blake from me and sat up on bed.

"How the hell does she knows what we're doing in here?"  Blake asked me raising his brow.... I shrugged giving him a peck on lips, I stood up grabbing my mobile from nightstand....

"Let's go babe..." he took my hand and we walked out smiling at each other like maniacs....
