Away from the city, she found herself in the woods shivering in the chilling weather, making her senses frozen. She ran here and there like a lost mouse trying to process how she landed there. She looked around to find only thick dense tress shading the view of the other side. Suddenly, there comes a howl making her jump in her place. Her heart raced in fear. The howl was followed by some brisk noisy and irritating foot steps as if someone's coming running towards her. She got frightened shivering now with fear too. Oblivious of which way to take, she ran and ran in whichever way she saw hope until she stopped infront of an old shabby place which looked like an old shed as if abandoned long ago. The howling sound went off instead strong winds strrted to blow warning about the approaching storm. She found the dense forest dead silent in the next second. Her heart beat and her heavy uneven breaths were the only sound she could hear. And a shriek echoing in the woods, as if some female voice crying in a shrill tone painfully.
She ran screaming hell scared inside. She pushed open the door of the shed and fell down stumbling upon an unknown object. Somehow getting up, she hurriedly locked the door from inside and took slow steps backwards until her back hit a wall. She waited for something scary and horrible to take place as she knew it was going to happen. Her heart was thundering inside her chest. She took a glance around and found a rod nearby. She picked it up and stood infront of the door at a safe distance holding it to her face level ready to smack anyone who barges in, to the door. She waited for a good fifteen minutes but found no sight of anyone. She threw the rod which fell onto a mattress nearby. She opened the door slightly and peeped out. There was nothing except a dim moonlight lighting the place. The gate was left ajar but only gentle wind blew relaxing her. Making sure, no danger waited outside, she opened the door fully and stepped out. She got down the three steps of the she's entrance and with pounding heart, observed the surroundings. It was only her and the peaceful night. Tucking her hair strands behind her ears on either sides, she sat down on one of the three steps with head angled upwards gazing at the night sky. She could only see the gibbous moon and its light. No star lingered around. Cool breeze relaxed her nerves. She wrapped her arms around herself to keep herself warm. Taking random looks, she pondered over how she ended up in those woods when it was her soft bed and the fluffy pillows were the ones with her last night. It was still night dark and scary but serene and peaceful. Looking around, she found some long object lying afar. She got up and observed it. In the dark, she without her notice clicked on something and the object glowed. She jumped in her place but relaxed on seeing it was a battery light. Thankfully it was lighting, ofcourse dim but it would help. She went inside, observing the contents inside the shed under the light, she made a not of the things available for her to spend the night there.
She found a mattress, some long dusty cloth, a pot having water just above the bottom line, a small room leading in. She wondered what contained in it. Taking slow scared steps she pushed the door of the room in a jerk and let out a deep breathe realizing it to be a washroom. She went in, it stinked badly. Uncomfortably, she went in and got freshed. Washing herself and her face, she came out dabbing her gave with her long wrist length sleeves. Throwing a disgusted look at the shed, she slowly cleaned it up with whatever was available. Gulping down some water to keep herself hydrated, she placed the light aside. Its glow was reducing bit by bit slowly. Then she sat on the mattress wondering what to do. Frustrated, she slapped the pillow when she felt something hard underneath the pillow. Shoving the pillow aside, she saw a keypad mobile. Her face lit up. She immediately dialed the first number that came to mind.
"Dad..." She cried when the call was answered.
"My child...."She heard her dad's soothing voice as she cried more
" save me dad... I'm stuck.. " She cried over and she heard
" wake up princess "She gave a confused reply" huh dad!? "
" it's time.. Wake up "She was being shook and in a jerk she woke up from her deep sleep and her scary dream. She looked around in disbelief and found herself in her very own room just the way she was left last night.
" all that was a dream!? "She said to herself and by the time her dad went from there. She palmed her face wiping the sweat and got up from her bed. Washing herself she got ready for office. She had the breakfast prepared by her dad and waving him a bye and placing a kiss on his face, she drove her scooter and rushed to the office.
