plz update soon

Abhay Raichand was leaning over the seat. He was going back to his house - white walls, palm trees, limpid blue fountains and tiled terraces. Just everything everyone could ask for.

He closed his eyes and leaned back against the crimson cushions, wishing he was someplace else.

''How was your first day, sir?'' The driver's voice came from the front seat.

Abhay opened his eyes. ''Good.'' He answered briefly.

''Did you find what you were looking for?''

''I did.'' He stared out the window, his eyes distant, undecipherable.

Abhay's finger hovered over the phone, considering whom to call. Suddenly, the phone buzzed.

He held it to his ear. ''Abhay.''

''Sir, it's me. Rhea. Can you hear me?'' The voice was broken.

''Rhea, are you all right?''

''I got in a fight, sir. I'm a little torn up. But I taught the other wolf a good lesson.'' She chuckled.

Abhay reached for an address book and a Gold Mont Blanc pen. ''That's not funny, Rhea. You shouldn't be fighting.''

''I know, sir, but-''

''You've really got to restrain yourself. Tell me where you are, and I'll have somebody pick you up. Get you to a doctor.''

''Sir, you're not listening to me. You do not understand me. I've found her.''

Abhay stopped writing, staring at his own fingers.

''Do you hear me, sir? I've found her. I'm sure it's her, with the birthmark and all. Her name is Pia Jaiswal. The other wolf that fought me- he saw her too. He got away.''

''I see.'' Abhay's breath caught.

''I'm sorry.'' Rhea was suddenly talking quickly, in a burst of emotion. ''Oh, Abhay. I'm sorry. I tried to stop him, but he got away, and now he's off telling .. her.''

''You couldn't help it, Rhea. And I'll be there myself soon. I'll be there to take care of everything.'' Abhay looked at the driver. ''We've got to make some stops. First, the Harman store.''

''The witch place?''

''Exactly. I will double your salary if you get there fast.''

--

The voice seemed oddly familiar, and it took Misha a while to recognize the sound.

She heard a scream, again.

And then it went silent. Not the normal silent, but the deathly silent.

She froze. She was in a party full of crowded people just a minute ago, and now it felt like she had been sucked into a horror dimension.

Before she knew it, she started walking towards the place where she heard the scream, her senses on alert. She kept looking around, trying to make out figures in the shadows, listening for the sounds of footsteps or anything else, and then she saw it.

She saw a hand coming out of the bushes in the distance.

She moved towards it, hand reaching out, eyes shot open. Her heartbeats started increasing with every step she took towards the body.

And when she took another step closer, she recognized the bracelet on the hand.

It was the same bracelet that she had gifted Ruhi on her 10^th birthday.

Now, it felt like the whole world had come to a standstill. Everything around her seemed frozen as she stepped over the bushes to stare at Ruhi's lifeless body.

Her neck was cut open, and there was blood all over. Other than that, there were no signs of injuries. But one look at the cut, and Misha didn't even need to check her pulse. She knew, she knew she was dead.

''Tracker.'' She bent down, and took her hand in hers. Her throat swelled, and her knees felt heavy. ''Who did this to you?''

She sat like that for another minute or so, before she heard the sound of the approaching footsteps.

She quickly got up, and hid behind a tree.

She stepped into view, and Misha was mesmerized. Her long hair fell perfectly up to her waist, her big green eyes narrowed at the sight of the body, lips curved in dismay. She bent down, and took Ruhi's hand in hers. ''I'll have to take care of this.'' She whispered, to no one in particular.

She bent down, and in one sudden graceful movement, she picked up Ruhi in her arms.

That graceful movement reminded Misha of someone ..it reminded her of Raj.

She shook her head, and watched as the girl started walking deeper into the forest.

She didn't have time to think it over. If she stayed here, she'd lose them. If she went inside, if she followed them, and if that girl saw her..

She had to admit, she was scared. There was something inhuman about this girl.

She took a step behind the girl, and decided to follow her.

Her heart was pounding wildly. Being scared is good, she told herself. That way, you'd be careful.

Where is she going? Misha thought. She could feel fine tremors in her muscles as she tried to move as quickly as possible without making a sound.

She was lucky that the floor was covered with autumn leaves; it reduced her chances of hearing her.

They went on for what seemed like hours. It was pitch dark and Misha soon lost any sense of where she was, and how she is going to get back.

Oh god, I am crazy to do this. I'm in the middle of the woods with this crazy girl.

The girl had stopped.

Misha got down and walked to the edge of the clearing, where she had a good view of what the girl was doing.

Digging.

The girl had pushed the leaves aside, and she was working on a hole.

There was no questioning what happened next, there was no denying it. This girl was burying Ruhi's body.

And then suddenly everything in the clearing changed.

A flashlight swung wildly. Misha didn't even realise that the girl had a flashlight. She flattened herself, feeling her eyes widen. She could see a shadow standing there, facing her way. Her body tense and still. Listening.

Misha laid absolutely motionless, mouth open, trying to breathe without making a sound. There were things crawling on the leaves under her. She didn't dare move even when something tickled her back under her shirt.

Her own ears rang from listening. But the forest was silent..eerily silent. She dimly realised that there was no flash light facing her way anymore. She slowly got up, resting her one arm on the ground. There was no one there.

All Misha could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat, pounding wildly in her chest. And then, she realized that she was alone.

She was afraid.

It wasn't just any fear, it was a fear of something you're not even sure exists.

And she was alone in the woods.

Contd in the next part.

''Hi Paul.'' She stared at the paw print silently. Everyone else thought that there is something going on. Everyone but her.

It all had to be in her head. It has to be something she can figure out, something she can quickly fix.

''Thanks for seeing me again.'' She smiled at Paul.

''Oh, that's no problem. I want to get to the bottom of this as much as you do, and-'' He admitted. ''I don't have any other patients.''

Pia followed him to his office, and took a seat. ''The only problem is, I don't know how to get to the bottom of this. It's too strange. I'm clearly insane.'' She spoke flatly. ''I have crazy dreams, I think the world is going to end, I feel like I'm being followed, I hear voices in my head, but me being insane doesn't explain the wolf attack that happened yesterday.''

''Voices? Yeah I know. I understand. Last night, I was almost ready to believe that.. '' He shook his head. ''Something really weird going on. But now it's daytime, and we are all rational people, we gotta deal with this rationally. And I might have come up with a perfect explanation.''

''An explanation?''

''Maybe, your premonitions, your dreams are totally unconnected with the wolf attack. Coincidences happen. But even if they are connected, well, I think there's some sort of disturbance in this area that's making the wolves crazy, and you're attuned to it somehow, whatever it is. It makes you think that the world is ending and stuff.''

Pia stared at him blankly. ''I suppose that could happen.'' She looked down at the notes in her hand. ''How does it explain this?''

''They have seen you, they're going to tell him, this is your last chance.'' Paul read the note. ''Hmm.''

''I found it this morning wrapped around my toothbrush. And it's my handwriting.'' Pia leaned back. ''I don't understand this. Everything that's happening is scaring me, I don't know how I'm supposed to fix this if I don't understand this.''

Paul chewed on his pencil. ''I think your subconscious mind is trying to tell you something. There's something I want to suggest, something I don't exactly believe in, but we can try anyway.''

Pia held her breath. ''Hypnosis?''

''It's not a magical trance like they show in movies and stuff. It's a relaxed state of mind, where you will be more likely to remember things that you don't remember right now.''

She looked at Paul. ''Okay, let's do it.''

''Great.'' He reached for a book. ''Would you, err, lie down on the couch?''

She laid down and stared at the ceiling. Despite all the tension, she had an urge to giggle. Here she was, lying on a psychologist's couch, waiting to be hypnotized. If only they had security cameras..

''Now, I want you to get comfortable and close your eyes.''

Pia shut her eyes.

''Now I want you to imagine yourself floating. Just floating and feeling very relaxed. There's nothing you need to think about and nowhere you need to go.''

The couch was surprisingly comfortable.

"And now you feel yourself floating down deeper . . . into a deeper state of relaxation . . . and you're surrounded by a deep blue light. The blue light is all around you, shining through you, and it's making you more comfortable, more relaxed . . ."

The soft soothing voice went on, and at its direction Hannah imagined waves of colored light bathing her body. Deep blue, emerald green, golden yellow, glowing orange. Pia could see it all. It was amazing. She was floating on light.

"And now you're seeing a ruby red light, very deep, very relaxing. You're so relaxed; you're calm and comfortable, and everything feels safe. Nothing will upset you; you can answer all my questions without ever feeling distressed. Do you understand me?"

"Yes," Pia said. She was aware of saying it, but it wasn't exactly as if she had said it. She wasn't aware of planning to say it. Something within her seemed to be answering Paul using her voice. But it still wasn't frightening.

''All right. Now I'm speaking to Pia's consciousness. You will be able to remember things that Pia doesn't.''

''Yes.'' Her voice sounded strange again.

''Good. Now, do you remember this note?''

''Ofcourse.''

''I want you to go back to the time when this note was written.''

''But how can I do that? I am not aware of when it was written-

''Relax, Pia.'' Paul's voice was soothing. ''Feel relaxed. Don't worry about anything, just go back to when this note was written. Don't ask me how. Just go.''

''Yes.''

''Good. Now, a picture is forming in your mind. What are you seeing?''

Pia saw it. A tiny picture that seemed to be unfolding itself.

''I see myself.''

''Where are you?''

''In my bedroom.'' She was at Paul's office and her bedroom at the same time, how strange.

''All right, now the picture will get clearer. You will begin to see things around you. What do you see?''

''Writing a note.'' She whispered.

''And why are you writing it?'' He asked softly.

''I have to warn myself, to warn myself.''

''About what?''

Pia shook her head helplessly.

''Okay, what are you feeling when you're writing it?''

Pia paused. Paul expected something like 'fear' or 'anxiety', but she said something completely different.

''A..longing. I want..I want so much.''

''What do you want?''

A tear trickled down Pia's face. ''I know it's danger, I know it's death. But I don't care. I want it.''

''Woah, relax. You are calm, you can answer my questions. Who is this person you're longing for?''

''The one who comes.'' Pia shook her head. ''He is wicked and evil, I know that. She explained it all to me. And I know he will kill me. The way he always has. But I want him.'' She could feel her body trembling while she said it.

She knew he could see her, breath coming quickly, face pale, glowing with heat. And she knew he was frightened.

''Okay, I have to admit. I'm lost. Someone's trying to kill you. An old boyfriend, maybe?''

''He is not trying to kill me. He has killed me.''

Paul bit his lip. ''I shouldn't have started this. I don't believe in this stuff, anyway.''

''And he's going to do it again, he's going to kill me on my eighteenth birthday. It's my punishment for loving him. It always happens that way.''

''Right, okay. Does this mystery guy have a name?''

Pia lifted a hand. ''When?''

''When? What when?''

''He has used different names at different times. He's had hundreds. I know him as Abhay. Abhay Raichand. He has been using it for the last couple of lifetimes.''

Paul blinked. ''The last couple of-?''

''Lifetimes. It might be the same right now. Last time I saw him, he said that he won't bother to change it anymore, he won't hide anymore.''

''Oh god.'' He turned to the window, closed his eyes. ''Are we talking about-'' He turned back. ''Please don't tell me we are talking about reincarnation here.''

A long silence. ''He hasn't been reincarnated.''

''Oh.'' Paul sighed. ''Thank god. You scared me.''

''He's been alive all this time.'' Pia answered. ''He's not human.''

PRECAP

Misha turned around, trying to find her way from where she came.

''Oh, god!''

She'd nearly walked into Raj.

--

Abhay knelt by the window, careful not to make a noise. It was a skill so familiar to his body. He could melt into a show very quickly, or move more quietly than a stalking cat. But right now, he was looking into the light.

He could see her. Just the curve of her shoulder, and the spill of her hair, but he knew it was her.
