Precap

Maybe things are not what I think it is. Maybe it's the way I see it. Maybe I read too many books even though Mom says I don't read books that much. I think it's because of the kinds of movies and books I saw.

Now I doubt whether the shooting scene was real. But why did he bring me here then? I think I should hear what he has to say. Tomorrow, I will ask him.

But now, I have to do something because I am not able to sleep.

Chapter 21: Night Talks

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain shooting from my arm and it was more painful as I ignored it. I tried to ignore it but it was adamant and not leaving. I tried moving it but no luck

I opened my eyes.

It was pitch black. Deadly dangerous darkness. The type that brings fear into your heart and makes your whole body alert and rigid that even breathing is hard.

A few seconds passed and slowly my eyes adjusted to the darkness and my body relaxed. My blank mind was now filled with the last day's memories and the conservation I had with Alex.

I realized the fact that my head was resting on my arm and that that was the cause of the pain. I slowly sat up and massaged my arm to reduce the pain.

Did me and Alex had that conversation Or was it a dream?

If it was real then when did I fall asleep?

It might be a part of my brain showing me what wanted to know through my dreams. It is said that your hopes and fears can be shown through dreams.

Well, I wished the things he said were true. I truly hope it is. The bright moon shone through the window. It is the only source of light in the room.

How bright and shining the moon is even if it is surrounded by the dangerous darkness. The dark sky which could swallow anyone and bring fear to everyone is made to look beautiful with its moon and twinkling stars making it a dark beauty.

The hoots of the night creature were heard trying to break the silence of the dark beauty.

Wow I sound like a philosopher

I got up from the bed took the pillow and walked towards the window. This always calms me down. It would help me sleep as well.

I lay down on the bay window and just stared at the moon. Trying to talk to it, Tell her about my wishes, my dreams my fears, my hopes

What is wrong me me? Why am I thinking all this stupid stuff?

Why do I feel like my heart sinking and a bit of sadness, anger, and confusion

I need to be strong and brave instead I am losing myself to philosophy

Trying to sleep can be a very hard thing sometimes and sometimes it can be the easiest thing to do. It depends on many factors I guess. Currently, I am not able to sleep. I have skipped lunch and I don't know if the dinner time is over. There is no clock in here nor do I have my phone to check the time, not even my watch.

My phone!

I hadn't even thought about my phone after coming here. Normally I can't stay away from my phone for even an hour and now, I don't know how many days

Suddenly I became alert as I heard some voices.

Who is that?

I quickly got up and quietly moved towards the door. The voice belonged to a man and it was not a man in a good mood.

I pressed my ear to the door and listened to their conversation.

" This room should never be left unlocked, someone should always have an eye on this room. Is that clear"

*Yes Sir. May I ask why she is here?", I could hear that lady's voice. It was clear from her voice that she was scared.

For a moment no one spoke.

I pressed my ear hard to hear something but nothing could be said.

" I am sorry Sir, I won't repeat it",  she said in a quivering voice.

Oh, what made her so scared?

" Well then, You may go now. Remember what I said before or things won't be good for you". You should handle whatever happens perfectly".  

Then I heard a pair of footsteps fading away.

Then again a moment of silence.

Then suddenly I felt a presence near the door. I quickly backed away from the door.

Is someone coming inside? Oh my god!

I quickly and quietly ran towards the bed to lie down and pretended to be asleep.

Soon enough I heard the sound of the door being unlocked and a pair of footsteps coming toward me

My heart was beating fast and I was too afraid to breathe.  I hope they don't notice it.  My face was facing the soft mattress so that they couldn't see my face.

I heard no sound. But yet I felt a presence. I was too afraid to even open my eyes to see what was happening. I should relax my body or they will realise I am awake. I slowly moved my hands just to let them know I was asleep.

Nothing! Still nothing.

What is happening? I can't handle this tension. The urge to open my eyes, to see who was here, just grew more and more but my fear didn't allow me to even breathe properly.

I stayed like that and somehow all this tension made me sleepy
