I woke up sweating. I practically fell down from the bed while I searched for the table lamp switch. Shit! even my phone was on the console. This is what happens when you are disorganised. "Ouch!", I screamed when my little toe hit the bed. Where the hell is the switch. My breathing was raged due to the dream I just saw. Those eyes. It was scary, like literally scaring. It was blood shot read and it was trying to say something. Panicked I continued my search and then it happened again. But this time not in my dreams. It was real. I swear I saw those eyes again behind the window. I almost scream and moved back when I stepped on something hard. The switch. Thank god. I immediately turned it on as the yellow light instantly washed the room. I turned to see the window again but there was absolutely nothing. I took the bottle kept on the bed side table and gulped almost half litre water. It must be my imagination. There can't be ghosts out here but I am not very confident about it.

My night suit was soaked in sweat. I really don't remember anything except those two eyes. It wasn't of any human being it was something else. Something like an animals maybe. Feeling more scared I switched on all the lights of the room and powered the television. Trust me I am so scared that I didn't even want to go the pee even thought my bladder is almost in a blasting stage. And then to add to my jumpy nerves my door bell rang. I looked at the clock and it showed 2:45am.

Who might that be? And that too in the middle of the night? No way I am going to open the door. What if it is some psychopath? And what if it's some thief or rapist or... oh god please save me. The door bell rang once again and I jumped out of the bed. The knife that I keep with me, I fetched it from the bedside drawer and walked out of my bedroom. Each step down the stairs felt heavy. I clutched the knife in a dead grip and then went towards the door. "Who...who is it?"

There was no answer. "Hello, who is it?" I tried to sound a little louder but failed.

With the knife ready to strike I opened the door and with a scream I attacked whoever it was.

My attack was futile. The stranger gripped my hand that held the knife and covered my face with the other hand. It picked me up as if I weighed nothing and lied my flat on the ground in one motion. I am dead today. I closed my eyes tightly and prayed to god. I am not in a position to plead in front of the person. His weight on me was sucking out my breath. And then he uncovered his head. Luke.

What the fuck? What is he doing here in my house in the middle of the night? Well he is pinning me down with his gorgeous body in the hallway of my house. Wait! Did I say gorgeous body? And why the hell is he still on top of me?

"Why the fuck are you screaming?" Not really looking at my way.

"You have scared the shit out of me, what do you expect me to do?"

"You are so dumb woman!"

"Dumb? Hello Mister you are here in the middle of the night pressing calling bell in my house"

"And what's with this knife? Why are you always holding it? Are you some runaway serial killer?"

"KaTe, why are you closing your eyes and breathing like that?"

"Because, because you are on top of my and you don't weigh like a feather... urgh! Move your ass dude".

He shifted his body weight in his arms but was still pinning me down. "Now that I am on top of you, you are getting all hot and bothered? And you want me to move my ass? My my you naughty girl".

"Argh! You pervert, I mean move urself", i starting hitting his chest with my tiny fists that did nothing to him.

Finally he got up steadying me along with him.

"For your information that knife is because I thought you are a rapist. I mean it could have been a rapist if it wasn't you".

He laughed. Like a belly laugh. "Rapist? Are you like real? Why would a rapist ring the door bell?"

"I don't know I was just scared and it turns out to be you."

"KaTE, this area is pretty safe as far as you remain in the safe zone".

I frowned. "Safe zone? What do you mean?"

He chuckled and with long strides he went towards my sofa abs made himself comfortable. "Safe zone means as far as you are here in the town".

I rolled my eyes "where will I go other than the town area? There is nothing much here except the jungles".

As if on the cue he shot up this head and I froze. Jungle. Which means there must be wild  animals in their and maybe they come here as well? Will it be good to ask him?

"Stay away from the jungle pretty lady. That's not where you would like to go".

He got up from the sofa and came towards me. Each and every step he took it seemed like he is a predator and I am a pry. His movements were slow and his eyes hooded.

"Do you think some animals might enter the town at night?"

He turned his back towards me.

"I saw eyes, a pair of eyes against my window pane. They were scary. I saw the same pair in my dreams today. They were trying to say something".

Then he laughed. "Omg the little princes is scared. This is 21st century princes and nothing of that sort happens now a days? Let me guess, are you watching too much of vampire movies? Are you a fan of twilight saga? Or let me guess you are obsessed with that actor, umm Rob am i right? Or may be you watch TVD series? Those sexy vampires etc etc".

He might think that I have not noticed but he didn't answer my question. And I opted to keep quite.

"Your door princess".

I turned to check. It was closed.

"What about it?"

"It doesn't have a proper lock. And listen you should thank your stars that it was me tonight but don't open even if your life is dependent on it".

"And why should I believe that I am safe when it comes to you?"

He then leaned towards me pinning me between the sofa and him. "If you didn't believe then I wouldn't have been here, sitting and taking to you".

"Secondly I don't to girls like you". Ouch that hurt. "I have different taste and you aren't my match".

"You think I have some teeny infatuation on you? Mr Luke..."

He silenced me with his finger on my lips. "If I look at you that way, you are going to be mine. And nobody, not even you can stop it from happening". Once again he shifted his eyes from mine. But before he could conceal I saw something I don't know what. A flash of something. Maybe it's my imaginations. With so many things happening around I am not thinking straight. And moreover I am tired. Like literally tired.

"That knife is a good idea but you should know how to use it. The way you did today was absolutely shitty. Anyone can pin you down in a blink is an eye".

I sighed. It's true.

"I wanted to lateens self defence class but somehow it didn't happen".

"I will teach you few moves which might come handy to you. But you have to keep that to yourself and you canny discuss that with anybody in the collage. I have a different reputation here. Anyway I have to leave now. Keep yourself safe princess. And there is nothing unusual in this town. It's just your dream".

With that he unlocked the door and closed it after exiting.

Weird guy I thought. Not a usual type. But I simply cannot brush of the fact that I haven't seen something unusual. It was not just a dream. My gut feeling says there is more to it.
