The Stranger in the Woods

Suddenly, the lights were out. A huge thud followed with the rain bristling heavily on the wooden shed. I subconsciously clenched Arnav's arm. I hate darkness. How much worse can this day get? With everything so silent around us, I began feeling claustrophobic and anxiety kicked in. I breathed heavily and tears started rolling down my cheeks. Arnav tightened his grip on my shoulder and told me to calm down. We walked together to the nearby cupboard where the candles were. He shuffled things around and finally the whisk of the matches slowly released the uncomfortable feeling I was experiencing.

There was light and the atmosphere didnt feel heavy anymore. I looked around me to see exactly where I was without realising that Arnav stood just centimeters apart from. I faced forward and I was confronted with deep hazel eyes staring right into me. I dont know what I felt. Shivers ran down my spine and I felt sweat dribbling down my neck. He continued staring with the same intensity while I was confused with my feelings. Why am I trusting a stranger who I just met this morning? How can I be sure that he is actually going to protect me?

Part 1

I lay there in the damp debris of nights heavy downfall. I never had imagined that this would happen to me. There was no strength left in my body to run any further, however, my arms still slapped the mud to get me just a few inches further from that horrible incident. I was completely drenched and the rain had just started to thud again on my back. My legs had given up and I was slowing losing my senses.

Flashback

Yes! I had been offered to study abroad for a semester. I had always wanted to study in Denmark. I love the terrains and the forests. Its like a urban city with a pinch of greens, they say!

_________________________________________________________

I felt strong arms picking me up from the ground and quickly pacing towards the light. "Not again" I thought. My finger gripped his shirt in an attempt to free myself but instead a few buttons from his shirt was all I was able to get from the powerless struggle. It was all blurry and I retired to unconsciousness again.

Flashback

I love Denmark! I really want to stay here forever. I wish this remaining 3 months go as slowly as possible. People are great here, except for my room mate ofcource! She needs to get a life or a job atleast! She just sits there on her fluffy pink princess bed, criticizing and over analyzing everything I do. Even though I dont have a voice, I still have a little more friends than her. Jeez.

It was strange at first. Wasn't it always strange when you started somewhere new? I dont have a voice but I do have hearing senses people! Girls from my tutorial classes were the worst at first. They shouted everything to me as if I couldn't hear. And NK, my best friend now, thought that I was snobbish rich brat who didn't want to say 'Hi' to him every morning. I played along until the day he realised that I actually couldn't speak. Haha. He was so emotional and embarrassed for calling me names due to my strange behavior. He literally had tears in his eyes!

But look at us now, he cared to learn sign language for me so that I didn't have to write notes to him every time I wanted to say something. Such a sweetie he is!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The temperature was warmer and it felt so comfortable as the stranger lay me down on a soft bed. He began wiping my body with a warm damp cloth and then drying my skin with towel. I felt relaxed with all the sensations that was occuring and strangely I started to feel that I was in safe hands. Before I could fully be aware of my surrounding, my head felt heavy and I was dragged into unconsciousness again.

An interesting beginning. I know it's still too early to assess your writing style, but i find it too sketchy. A little bit more description would give it more meat . Looking forward to more.

Part 2

After a long sleep or just unconsciousness, I was awoken by the strong aroma of incense sticks. I was covered in white linen and was on a high queen sized bed with heavy wooden frames. The floors were of polished wood too. I lay there still trying to absorb my new surroundings. Anxiety started to kick in due to the uncertainty of where I was and how in earth did I get here. Are those men still here? Are they the ones who got me here? I peeped through the linen outside the window and just saw a lot of trees. Old creepy trees.

I quietly dared to sit on the bed. On the other side of the room was a huge mirror. By looking at my reflection, I realised that my face and my neck was covered in scratches. So much so that I even had a small bandage on the side of my neck. There was a arm chair beside the mirror on which a green dress sat. "Oh crap!", my eyes widened with shock. That's my dress. What the hell am I wearing? I looked down and realized that I was in a silver coloured night robe.

I heard footsteps leading up to this room. My heart started pounding and my palms got sweaty. I jumped out of the bed and tried opening the windows but they were locked away. I looked around the bed side tables for a reasonable weapon (lamp) and quickly stood behind the door waiting for whoever it was.

A man entered the room. He was wearing a black round collar tshirt and khaki pants which looked soiled. His arms were so built that his veins popped as he placed his hands on his slender waist. He had dark short messy hair and the tip of his tattoo could be seen on the back of his neck. Judging him by his appearance (from the back), I was convinced that he is one of the guys from last night.

My hands shivered as I raised the wooden lamp and aimed for his head. "One quick blow Khushi and you're out of this". I swung my hand expecting a perfect hit but before I knew it, I was pushed against the wall face first with my hand behind my back. His hard body crushed behind mine. His rough hand clenching my skinny wrist with force. The lamp fell with a thud and tears rolled down my cheeks as I struggled from his strong grip.
