Chapter 19
Signs of Danger
All were engaged..Oops ! *they are already engaged*All were immersed deeply in their thoughts when they heard a voice calling them.
"Asad , Zoya , Arnav , Khushi , Rishab , Madhu jaldi neeche aa jau. Khaana laga diya hai Rose ne.(Asad , Zoya , Arnav , Khushi , Rishab , Madhu come down quick. Rosie has set up the food.)"
They all replied in unison " Aa rahe hai(Coming)"
Once they reached down they saw a girl 5'6 tall. Black long, silky and thick hair in a high ponytail which lay above her waist. White silky skin and beautiful face.
At once they recognised their friend Rosalie Swift who went to India for spending some days with her family. She was the daughter of Dilshad's close friend Samantha Swift. She moved to Forks for her schooling. When Dilshad came to know this she immediately insisted Samantha to let Rose stay with them. Rose was a part of their gang. And not to forget her boyfriend , her better half Jacob Dsouza. He was also in their gang. He lived with his parents in their neighbourhood. They fell in love and confessed. Their parents know this and her happy with the choices of their children.
They all hugged her tight when she screamed gasping for breath "Yaar mujhe jaan se maarne ka plan banaya hai kya tum sab ne ? Kya mujhe saans lene ki ijaazat hai ?(Yaar have you all made a plan to kill me ? Do I have permission to breath ?)"
Immediately they all left her and she panted for breath. Once she regained her normal breathing speed she said "Guys can we go to your room I need to tell you all something serious ?"
They all at once got alarmed and nodded.
Once they reached her room she was bombarded with questions from all 6 asking her if she was okay and was something wrong with Jacob or their relationship. She got teared up seeing the love and concern all held for her. She said "Jacob or mein bilkul theek hai. Hamara relationship bhi. But humaare sath kuch din pehle kuch bht ajeeb sa incident hua.(Jacob and me are completely fine. And our relationship too is fine. But a strange incident occurred with us both some days back.)
They all nodded at her to continue.
###Flashback###
Jacob and Rosalie were sitting in park. They were merrily chatting away when a ball was about to hit Rose. She covered her head with her hand to avoid the ball hitting her head but instead it went through her head and fell behind her shocking Jake*Jacob* and Rose to the deepest core of their hearts. It happened in a fraction of seconds. But the most shocking was that it went through Rose as though she had become some kind of hologram.
And the other day when Rose was waiting for Jake to open the gate. He opened the gate but she could only hear his voice but he couldn't be seen. On asking him where he is Jake replied that he was standing right in front of her. She rubbed her eyes and then he was back. She was shocked. But thinking it to be some prank of hers she did not ponder much on this.
###Flashback ends###
To say they were shocked was an underestimation. They were beyond shocked.
Zoya voiced her thoughts " Inke sath bhi ye sab hone laga ?(This started happening with them also ?)"
By that time Jake entered and asked "What happened ?
Rishab filled him and Rose with all the ill happenings with them. He also added that still nothing has happened with Arnav and Asad.
With all these chaos they all called the day off and went in their respective rooms.
It was midnight and Zoya started having one of her nightmares but thus time she didn't scream instead woke up sweating , scared and shaken up. She switched on her table lamps and fished out the jug for some water but unfortunately there was not even a single drop. Devastated she went downstairs not switching on the lights fearing she might wake someone up.
But she forgot that the rooms next to her could hear even a mere whisper and fortunately someone from one of the two rooms got awaken by the noise of the opening and closing of the door. He went downstairs and saw someone standing in the kitchen searching something.
Zoya was shuffling all the cupboards and drawers for a glass to drink water when she heard someone.
"Who is there ?"
She got scared by the voice and dropped the jug made up of glass on the floor.
CRASH!!!
Zoya got hurt on her hand and her wound started bleeding.
On hearing something glass like crash he switched on the lights and what he saw made his insides churn as though he could feel the pain.
He called out in a painful whisper "Kiddo"
Yes ! The person was none other than Arnav Singh Raizada. Her beloved big brother.
Arnav rushed to Zoya when he saw her bleeding hand and asked her "What happened Kiddo ? What are you doing in the kitchen ? That too in midnight !"
she replied back "Nothing Bhai. Just got another of my nightmares and wanted some water. But there was no water in my room. So I came down for drinking water."
He looked down towards her bleeding hand and saw that the bleeding had stopped and luckily the wound was not too deep. He rubbed his palm over her wound softly to wipe the excess blood but something extraordinary happened and the witnesses to the shocking incident were Zoya and Arnav.
As soon as he rubbed his palm over her wound the wound got healed and disappeared !
