Sophie found herself in darkness unable to see or hear anything.
"Dad, Mom where are you guys? Emma why are you not answering me." Only silence answered her questions.
Not hearing any response she started to grow afraid as she started walking around in a defensive position. She walked around a little before she stopped as she barely picked a voice behind her calling out to her desperately.
'But how can someone see in such darkness.'
She thought as she turned around after making sure there was enough distance between her and the person.
Flash! She turned only to be blinded by the light as her eyes couldn't adjust to the darkness.
Frightened that the person will do something to her she hurriedly stepped back and widened the distance between them while rubbing her eyes.
"Save me. Please, you can't leave me like this.
I beg you please save me." A man with his legs chained to a tree desperately pleaded to Sophie as he saw her stepping back after looking at him. Startled, she looked to see a man who looked the same as the person that died in front of Sophie crying as he pointed at his legs which has become bloodied due to his struggles.
"Save me. Please, you can't leave me like this.
I beg you please save me." A man with his legs chained to a tree pleaded to Sophie. Startled, she looked back to see a man who looked the same as the person that died in front of Sophie smiling as he pointed at his legs.
"I beg you please save my life." The man begged desperately to Sophie as he clasped his together.
Seeing the man who she thought was dead crying and pleading to her like he is alive she felt her hair rising in fear. Seeing her strange reaction the man tried to desperately stop her as he begged again and again. Sophie ignored his begging and started to back away slowly forcing the man to struggle fiercely.
"Clomp- Clomp." Sophie could hear the sound of footsteps coming close to her from an alleyway she didn't see earlier as she started to run instinctively.
The victim hearing the sound of footsteps paused for a moment before he too started struggling desperately and at the last moment, the chain broke miraculously as the victim stumbled and struggled to run away.
"Where are you going, Mister." The hitman spoke from the alleyway as he looked at the man trying to run away. Sophie looked back instinctively after hearing the familiar face only to see her ex-boyfriend Vinnet standing there while laughing.
"Bang!" Before the victim could run away he was shot straight in his head by Vineet meanwhile Sophie who was running while looking backward crashed into someone and fell on her bum.
"Run away, that man just shot someone in the head," Sophie spoke hurriedly as she tried to stand up without even looking at the person only to feel a cold sensation on her forehead.
"Hey, it's me Ashu," Ashu spoke as he slowly cocked the gun placed on Sophie's head.
Sophie slowly lifted her head to see a man with an unkempt beard and short curly hair smiling while pointing a gun towards her head with zero distance.
"Snick!" Hearing the sound of the gun cocking Sophie hurriedly grabbed the gun and pulled while she kicked Ashu's foot with her legs causing the gun to fall from his hand. She grabbed Ashu's arm and spin around and gave him a shoulder throw. She took the gun which fell on the floor and pointed it straight at Ashu's head as she said to Vineet,
"If you took one more step, I will shoot him." Ashu who had a gun pointed at his head stood up while dusting himself nonchalantly and ignoring Sophie's warnings.
"That gun is empty," Ashu spoke as he stretched his back.
"Click!" Sophie pulled the trigger only to find Ashu's words to be true.
"It hurts. You still remembered these techniques I taught you." Ashu spoke as he tilted his head and elbowed Sophie's nose.
"Bang!" The bullet fired by Vineet passed close through Sophie's ear and blood started to come out of it.
"Fuck! I am standing here too. You mad bastard." Ashu cursed as he rubbed his ear. He took the gun from Sophie and started filling the magazine.
"You only have two choices now." He spoke gently to Sophie who had curled herself in fear after the close shot with death.
"First, To die by our hands after you told everybody the truth. Second, to live your life happily by taking this secret to your grave.
But that person will be disappointed in you as the result." Ashu said as he gently patted her head.
*************************
"Wake up Sophie or you will be late for school," Simar shouted while making breakfast and packing lunch for her.
Sophie woke up from her nightmare covered in sweat.
"Fuck, that nightmare made me all sweaty." She cursed as she thought about the embarrassing nightmare she had.
"You didn't sleep well yesterday. If it's about yesterday's matters don't worry I will handle it."
Emma said confidently as she peeked inside Sophie's room.
"I am fine and this is my last warning if you peeked inside my room once again I will ki..." she paused for a moment as she remembered yesterday.
"Fuck, why me." She cursed in an almost inaudible voice.
"What?" Emma asked unable to hear what her sister said.
"Leave me alone." Sophie screamed as she glared at Emma with eyes filled with rage and venom."
'Just wait. I will tell mom that you screamed at me when I told you to wake up.' Emma left the room huffing in anger while thinking of her revenge.
A moment of silence ensued in the room after Emma left but it was soon broken by the string of curses that came out of Sophie's mouth.
'Fuck, I shouldn't have screamed at her.' Sophie thought as she left her bed to freshen up.
"Plop!" The sound of her phone notification rang out in the bathroom. Sophie opened it only to see Ashu's message which read,
"You only have time till evening."
"Argh! That bastard." Sophie screamed while punching the wall as she imagined Ashu laughing standing in front of the mirror thinking of her plight.
