DISCLAIMER 😛 : I donot own the characters of EMA (though I wish I did).. Thanku very much for waiting patiently 😳 Now the story would get more spookier.. Hey come on, its a Dark FF 😛 Ok.. Now, I'll shut my mouth and let you read the story.. Meet you at the end 😃
The next day started with the usual hustle bustle and work for the day. The usual shouts from evil stepmom and step-sister were on throughout the day. I had to run errands too. It was the start of the new month and I had to shop for the month's groceries. I was glad about that because I would be out for a few hours. I got dressed and wrapped a stole round my neck and walked off. The streets were busy since it was the start of the month. I went through all the stores and purchased the necessary groceries. I looked longingly at a few chocolates in the store. The shopkeeper noticed this and gave me two. I refused but the shopkeeper insisted since I reminded him of his daughter. I happily took it and started walking towards hell (home). Dehradun was known for its scenary and forests. I loved to take the long route home since that would give me time to enjoy the scenic beauty of the forest. The air was breezy and I started to feel cold. My stole flew from around my neck and into the forest. Shit !!! There goes my favourite stole. After it Kalpi.. I followed the stole into the forest. I ventured into the forest in search of my favourite stole. Was it only me or was the forest really spooky all of a sudden ??
I brushed away the thoughts from my mind as the forests were always dark.. I noticed the tall trees and the overgrown roots. They really did look spooky. I noticed my stole a few steps away. I sighed happily and went to retrieve it. As I picked it up, I heard a growl. It was of an animal and a big one at that. I noticed a few shadows. I started panicking and went to the nearest tree to hide. I peeked from behind a tree. The shadows were PEOPLE !!!! People with hooded cloaks. They were chanting something which I couldn't hear. I started to step back when I stepped on a twig my mistake. It make a noisy sound. The chanting stopped and the hooded figures turned towards the source of the noise. I started to run. I ran for my life. I've been in this forest only once and Vishal helped me out so I didn't know the way out. I ran deep into the forest. The hooded figures were still behind me. Now I really started to freak out. I felt someone pull me by the arm and close my mouth. Now I couldn't scream either. I was pulled up against a tree. I turned to kick the person who almost killed me when I noticed blue eyes. In an instant they turned black.
Was it blue or black ??? The eyes person asked,"Miss Kalpana.. What are you doing here ??" It was Raghav.. I asked,"I could ask you the same question, Sir.." He hesitated,"I asked you first." I said,"Hmph.. Fine. I was shopping when my stole flew towards the forest. I came to retrieve it." He said harshly,"Was that really necessary ??? It was just a stole.. " I whined,"But it's my favourite stole." Raghav sighed exasperated,"Seriously Woman !!!! For heaven's sake, you ran into the deepest parts of the forest just to retrieve this piece of cloth ???!!!!" I defended my stole,"Hey, this is my favourite stole. You can't just..." I didn't even get time to complete my sentence when I was pulled by him into the bush. I fell on top of him. He closed my mouth with his hands and listened intently. And me..Well.. I kept staring at him. After a few minutes, he looked at me. He smirked at me.. Oh... How I'd love to slap that smirk off.. He pointed with his eyes at me. I realized that I was lying on top of him. I got up and dusted myself. He asked,"Do you know the way to your house ?" I looked down guiltily. He sighed and said,"Ok. Come on then.." I followed him. I had run a long way so walking took time. I wanted to make a conversation. I remembers the blue eyes turning black and I asked,"Do you wear contacts ?" Raghav turned and asked,"What ??" I replied,"Contacts.. Do you wear contacts ?"
Raghav replied,"Ofcourse not. Why ??" I said,"Well, its just that when you pulled me and I turned towards you, I saw your eyes were blue and now they are coal black.." Raghav hesistently said,"Miss Kalpana.. I am sure it must have been the giddiness you felt when I pulled you." He started walking and I stared at his back confused. After a few more minutes, I asked,"May I ask one more question ?" Raghav said,"Go ahead." I asked,"How did you know where I was ?? Because as far as I know, there was no one in that forest except some weird looking guys with cloaks." Raghav turned and asked,"You saw their faces ?? I mean, did they see you ?" I said,"I asked you first." Raghav turned back to the road and started walking. It was tuff keeping up with him but I still tried. I asked him again,"Tell me. How did you know where I was ?? And you were nowhere near me. How did you know where I was and how did your each me so fast ?" Raghav stopped, turned around and said,"We've reached your house Miss. Kalpana. You need to rest. I can see the giddiness is still with you. Have some rest." Before I could ask him anything, he walked away. I went into the house and saw evil step-sister glaring at me. I bluntly asked," What ?" Step-sister asked,"What did you say to Raghav ?" I asked,"What ?? What are you talking about ?" Step-sister said,"I know Kalpi. You are just insecure that Raghav likes me a lot. You didn't want him to see me that's why you didn't let him come inside the house." I sighed. Yeah.. I am jealous and insecure. I am the evil step-sister Drizella or Anastasia or whatever trying to snatch away the Prince Charming of the Cinderella standing infront of me. Get a life, Pig !!! Step-sister walked away in that annoying style of hers and I walked into my room after keeping the groceries in their respective places. Evil step-mom was nowhere to be seen. Guess she might have gone to another one of those bitchy and boring kitty party of hers. I went to get some rest. Raghav was right. I needed some rest to get rid of this stupid giddiness..
