Why is it so dark out here?
Hello, is anyone here?
“My daughter.”
I suddenly can see a woman sitting in front of me in a chair.
Her back is towards me.
She kept whispering “My Daughter.”
Is it mom?
“Mom.”
I ran up to her and touched her shoulder.
“Mom?”
Suddenly her whispers turned into a malicious laugh.
“Baa baa black sheep.”
I started to back away.
She is not my mom.
Then she turned towards me.
“ Baa baa black sheep.”
Then she jumped at me.
“Aaaaaaaaaa”
The bright lights of the room are hurting my eyes.
Where the fuck I am?
It's not my dorm room.
Why does my whole body feel like that they just got busted by a tank?
Suddenly I looked down at myself. What am I wearing?
It's not my clothes?
It's a jersey t-shirt.
I looked at the surroundings.
Fuck,why it's giving the ‘ I have entered the hell” vibe.
Curiosity mode on.
Suddenly the door of the room opened and a boy .. Holy Fuck.
Oh hi six packs.
Assantonio came in with nothing but a towel.
Water droplets are running on his chiselled abs.
His wet hair is falling on his eyes.
If he is not that much asshole then I will surely fuck him.
“Done with checking me out?”
“What? Why am I gonna check you out.”
“Oh,I must be mistaken but there is some drool.”
“Drool? Where?” I started to wipe my face furiously.
“Here.” he suddenly came up to me on the bed.
Fuck!! Not that close proximity.
He extends his hand and wipes something from my cheeks.
He is even more handsome from this close.
I can feel myself getting lost in his eyes.
His breath is so sweet that I am gonna drown in it.
I have to distract myself.
“Where is Trace?”
“She is in the other room sleeping.”
His hand is still on my cheek.
“Satsangi” he said so softly that I could practically hear my heartbeat in my own ear.
“Yes”
“You're looking like a clown.” Then he pulled himself away from me.
“Hey,what? I'm right, you are an asshole.” he merely Chuckled at me.
He went into another room which I think is the closet.
Suddenly he came out of there and threw something at me.
“I guess you need it.”
What the hell?
A bra.
Not anymore bra but mine.
That's when I noticed that my clothes plus underwear are scattered beside the bed.
Not only Mine but also his.
No no please don't tell me.
Not that.
“Did something happen between us yesterday?” My voice is barely over a whisper.
“You don't remember? the whole of Chicago may know what happened between us because of your screaming my name last night.” His face started to grace with his very famous cocky smirk.
What? I had sex with him.
No that can't be.
That's why my clothes have changed.
Suddenly the whole incident of yesterday started to cover my head.
How can he do that to me while I was injured?
That bastard!!
“Oh Fuck,you raped me!! Fuck I’m not a virgin anymore.. you stole my virginity. You bastard!!” I kept screaming at him.
How can he do that to me?
He winced at my voice.
“Gosh Knifey stop screaming,I didn't rape you. You are still a virgin. Wait, are you really a virgin?”
“My sex life is none of your business,you asshole.” I am still screaming.
Gosh,how pathetic I am looking now!!!
I can feel my cheeks are starting to heat up.
“Do you even have one?” He is now taunting me.
Stupid bastard.
I decided to get out from that ridiculously soft bed
But not such luck,the stomach cramped up and feets Tangled up with the comforter.
Just as I thought I was gonna kiss the floor, suddenly two strong arms caught me.
“You are too clumsy for your own good.” he chuckled in my ear.
He helped me to stand up.
“The doctor left some medicine for you and the nurse had cleaned you and also there are some umm tampons in the bathroom and when Ben will come then we'll talk about the previous night.”
“Oh,so it's the nurse.”
When I reach the table for the medicine, suddenly I notice a photo frame is there.
A girl no,not any girl but a very beautiful one is in this pic.
I didn't know he has a gf.
Obviously he has.
“Is it your gf? She is very beautiful.”
I have to say I am feeling a little jealous.
He was startled by my question and grabbed the picture frame from my hand.
Geez, possessive much.
“ She is not my gf.”
“Huh, as you can fool me.”
“I told you she is not my gf,she is not here so end of the topic.” he stormed out of the room.
Again that cold bastard.
I got fresh in his bathroom and did my….. well girly things.
It's still a embarrassing thing that a nurse changed my tampons.
Still my mind is lingering on Greco’s gf’s pic.
Why was he so hesitant about her?
Had they broken up?
After getting dressed I went to the room where I thought Trace would be.
I knocked on the door.
“Come in.” I entered there to meet Trace sitting on the bed.
“Trace.” I ran up to her and hugged her.
“Are you okay?”
“I'm , but what happened to you?”
“Umm, it's a long story.”
“How about you guys finish your eating then we'll talk about everything.” Reuben told us while entering the room with Greco.
They both had food platters on their hands.
I didn't even realise I was that hungry.
I finished up everything very quickly and so did Trace.
“Okay,now about yesterday…..
Two hours later Trace had left me with Greco because she was going outside with Reuben.
I told her that I will return to campus but she insisted on me staying here.
Both of hackers are still unable to find that fucker who kidnapped Trace.
Also about that ghost or (mystery woman in the college who attacked me).
How in the world did she come from out of nowhere?
And suddenly vanished.
“Daydreaming again?”
“For your kind information, it's already evening assantonio.”
“Assan..what?”
“It's your new nickname.”
“I don't need one.”
“You know Greco,you are kind of rude.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“It's not one.”
“Thanks for noticing.”
Gosh I can't even stand 2 minutes with him.
Yesterday he was so sweet and caring and now again.
I decided to keep my mouth shut and watch shinchan on the tv.
I was actually successful in ignoring him for another hour.
“Here,take it.” He said while giving me a glass of water and some pills.
“It's your medicine, you forgot to take it.”
“Oh, thanks.”
He sat down beside me on the sofa.
Silence.
Suddenly the sound of thunder made me jump out of my seat.
“It's raining.”
“I know.”
He got out of his seat to close the windows.
“Let me help.”
I think I should call Trace.
After 1 ring she answered the call.
“Trace, where are you? It's raining heavily outside.”
“I know, we are in the library. Don't worry about us, I am safe.”
“Okay,be safe and take care.”
“Yupp.”
Suddenly the lights went off.
Fuck, power outage.
Suddenly I notice that Antonio is not nearby.
“Greco? Greco, where are you?”
Where the fuck he is?
I have the flashlight on but still it's not enough.
Doesn't he have any generator?
I think I should go upstairs.
But my fucking luck,I tripped.
“Oomph.”
My stomach is aching.
I tried to stand up but failed.
I guess I hit my knees pretty bad.
My phone.
No, no not now.
1%charge.
The little bit of light is gone.
“Greco? Greco, please come here.” I kept screaming for him.
I didn't even notice that I started crying.
The crackling of thunders are making the situation worse.
Baa baa black sheep….
Not again.
Not that sound.
Angi control yourself.
Nothing is going to happen.
You are safe.
That ghost isn't here.
But the sound of the voices in my head started to grow stronger.
Baa baa black sheep.
Baa baa black sheep.
Mamma,
Nooooooooo
Stop itttt
“Antonio” I screamed for him while grabbing my head.
“Knifey?”
He is suddenly in front of me.
Kneeling down.
“Hey, it's okay. I am here. I am sorry I didn't hear you before.”
He told me while removing my head from my hands.
He picked me up and sat me down on the couch.
“Are you okay?”
“That la lad y who aa atta attacked me.” I mumbled.
“Hey, it's okay. She is not here. We will find her.”
He hugged me tightly to his chest while I tried to control my breathing.
We have been sitting there for some time.
I have to say I am feeling safe,with him being here with me.
Sometimes I really wish he can always be like that.
Gentle, sweet and soft.
Not some cold bastard.
“Are you okay now?” He murmurs in my hair.
I nodded.
“When will the lights come?”
“There is a massive storm happening outside and the generator is not turning on due to some reason so we have to make it through the candles.”
We sat in silence but suddenly my stomach growled out loud.
“Do you want to eat something? I can order it.”
“Do you think they will take any order in this situation?”
“I can try.”
And he tried 10 times but every order was cancelled.
He even called Ben.
They are still stuck there.
“How about I make something for both of us?”
“I don't want to die by eating your food.”
“Ha ha so funny.”
“It's not a joke”
Assantonio is back.
Welcome back.
“Look,I am hungry so I am making something for myself.”
“Go ahead.”
Why is he so grumpy?
Maybe that's why her gf broke up with him.
I started to find something easy to make.
I found some leftover rice.
I can make fried rice.
In ten minutes I finally made some for me and….. also for him.
“It smells good. Do you have some more for me?”
“No,I don't” I teased him while taking a bite from my own bowl.
A little teasing doesn't hurt that much.
Right?
I noticed he is still looking at me.
“What?”
“Remove that fucking spoon from your mouth.”
He ordered me.
His whole posture is rigid.
What?
Fuck!! I am still licking my spoon.
Maybe it's disgusting to him.
Even in the dim lights of candles I can feel his stare on me as I slowly nibble on my food.
Maybe I should tell him that I also made some for him too.
“You know …
“Fuck that I’m hungry and you have enough food.” he said while cutting me off.
He grabbed the bowl from my hand and started to eat.
“Hey, that's mine.” I protested but that's no use to him.
I tried to take the bowl from him but that's no use as he is so bigger and taller than me.
He finished everything in 2 minutes.
“So what were you saying?” He asked me while putting the bowl on the coffee table.
“I’m saying that I also made some for you but you have finished mine.” I glare at him.
“Just go then and eat it.”
“I’m not hungry anymore. As you wish.”
“You know you are a grumpy uncle.”
“Hey I’m just 23 that doesn't mean I am an uncle.”
“23? That's too old. I’m just 17. Wait, if you are 23 then how can you be in your last semester in college?”
“Ben and I were homeschooled from the beginning. After some time we wanted to go to public school and enjoy ourselves so we dropped ourselves down to some classes. That's why we are old and last semester has not started yet.”
I nodded at him.
Now I understand.
Suddenly his phone started to ring.
He looked at the screen and his face turned hard.
“I will be back.”
He left the living room.
What should I do now?
Maybe I can explore.
So I started to explore.
The thunder has stopped but it is still raining.
There is nothing much in this living room to explore excluding this one room.
The door is open.
Should I go inside?
Or not.
What will happen even if I go inside?
I kept the phone’s flashlights on as I went inside.
It's like in the movie.
A row of stairs to go into the room.
I think I should go back.
But my Fucking curiosity is consuming me.
I stepped down the stairs and finally reached the room.
I moved the flashlight to see Clear.
But I hadn't expected to see that,
Anger,hurt, and betrayal are suffocating me.
WHAT THE FUCK is that?
.
.
.
.
Or, most importantly, what does he want from her?
It's literally 11 when we reached the dormitory. The storm had stopped and tomorrow we have to go to college so we decided to come back here.
Reuben and Antonio both came here to drop us off.
I still can't remove the scenario from my mind which I had seen in that room.
Antonio didn't know about this.
I didn't ask him.
But I can feel one thing is that there is something going on between Trace and Reuben.
I want Trace to be happy but after what I saw, I think it's a planned game.
I didn't talk with Antonio after that incident.
Trace is still talking with Reuben as we come to stand on the ground floor.
Antonio is behind them.
Looking bored out of his mind but still in some way suspicious.
“Okay,bye. We have to go,and remember what I had told you.”
“Yes Belle, I will and goodbye.”
“Bye Tracy”
Suddenly Antonio said out loud.
"Bye, Antonio and thanks for everything guys.”
He merely nodded.
Tracy nudged me.
I mumbled goodnight to them.
“Babe?” Suddenly someone calls out.
I turned around to see who that is?
But holy Fuck.
No he can't be here.
God can't be that cruel with me.
Today was really hectic.
That's a usual thing for every student on Monday.
Mine is also similar.
And now I also have one more fucker to deal with.
My Fucking Ex.
Liam is here.
In this college.
I don't know what to say.
But that's okay.
I will deal with him later but now I have to deal with Greco.
I have to go to his Mansion.
I was unable to search yesterday but I have to do that today.
Max told me that there is a car racing game happening today so he must be there with his brother.
So,I decided to take that Chance.
I mixed a sleeping tablet in Trace's dream to keep her asleep.
It's already 10.
I slipped from the dormitory and went to the cap.
I had to give 100 dollars to that guard.
I will surely be a beggar at the end of this month.
I reached his mansion.
I know that he is a goddamn hacker so I switched my phone off.
And I am literally dressed in all black like some kind of thief.
He will surely catch me on the camera but he will be unable to make out that it's me.
I know there is a backdoor from where I can slip inside.
And I did.
But suddenly I slipped on something and landed on my back.
What the hell?
Damn that hurts.
I pinched my eyes shut to keep that pain away from me.
But when I opened my eyes to see myself staring straight into the person’s face.
I slammed my palm into his mouth to keep him from shouting.
But his face is ice cold.
Then I noticed the slit in his throat.
His throat is cut open.
Holy shit!!
I tried to scream but suddenly noticed the thing which caused me to slip.
I It's blo blo od.( It's blood)
What the hell is happening?
Suddenly a gunshot’s sound filled the air and then a frustrated scream.
“Tell us Greco.Where are that truck and the pendrive?”
Antonio is here.
Is he in some kind of trouble?
Should I go there to see?
Yess,I should.
I tiptoed to the living room.
I hid behind the kitchen door.
I noticed a total of 4 people standing there in black suits and one was kneeling down.
“I’m warning you again.” one of the black suits threatened while pressing the gun further into the head of that person who was kneeling down.
Suddenly someone looked in my direction and I crouched down and hid behind the couch.
I’m too close to them.
“Threatening me is not going to be a beneficial thing for any of you.”
Oh so that kneeling down person is Greco.
His voice is still strong.
Full of authority.
I peeked from the side of the couch.
That black suit person pressed the gun further into his face.
That's when I noticed that his hands are tied.
I have to do something.
Suddenly I noticed a paperweight in front of me.
If I throw it in the opposite direction then maybe that will catch their reaction.
I threw it away.
“What's that?” suddenly one of those guys asked.
“You should go there and check it.”
Two of them Went to check it out.
I took the moment to move just behind Antonio but hidden by the couch.
I also throw out my watch in another direction.
“What the hell is that again?” Then the other one went that direction and that big guy who was holding the gun diverted his attention from Greco.
That's what I want.
“Greco,Greco '' I whispered to him.
He is momentarily shocked by my presence.
I glanced upward to see that guy is still looking in another direction.
I started to cut the rope from Greco’s hand with the blade which I bought here with me.
Just 2 seconds more.
But suddenly someone pressed something against my head.
I stopped breathing.
Fuck!! They caught me.
“Oh,look what we have here.” that guy smirked at me.
I stood up still with that gun pressed against my head.
“Now, we have to kill two people.”
Should I use my krav maga skill right now?
It's not useful, I know that.
Suddenly Antonio stands up from his position and in a second I am in his arms with his hand extended towards those guys with a gun pointing at them.
He is so fast, almost blurry.
He pressed something in my palm.
“Run towards the stairs and use your skill.” He whispered in my ear.
Suddenly the sound of gunshots filled my ear as I ran towards the stairs.
I know someone is following me.
Someone grabbed me from behind but I threw my elbow at his nose and broke it.
“Aaaaaaaa” he screamed in pain.
I went inside a room and locked it.
I have to hide.
I hide in the closet.
I can hear someone trying to break the door.
I noticed that I’m holding a pendrive.
I don't know how long I am in here but now I can say that everything is silent.
Should I go outside or stay there for some minute?
Maybe I should go.
I was just getting down the stairs when I noticed a flash of red hair.
“Antonio, please forgive me.'' That red-haired girl is kneeling down in front of Greco.
I noticed dead bodies everywhere.
I know that voice.
Isn't it Tanya?
“It's too late now.” Greco told her.
What the hell is he doing?
“Please forgive me, It won't happen again.” she pleaded with him.
What is he doing?
“I guess you forgot that forgiveness is not my middle name and you don't even deserve one.” Then he shot her.
Her body slumped against the floor.
How can he?
I am too shocked to say anything.
How can he kill someone?
A girl.
I want to cry.
I was wrong.
I thought he was a good person but he is not.
He is a monster.
Suddenly I also noticed another presence in that room.
A girl in a police outfit came to stand in front of him.
“ Where is the pendrive Antonio?” She asked him.
What? can't she Fucking see that he killed someone?
“The pendrive is … oh there she is.”
He walked up to me and grabbed the pen drive from my hand.
I want to scream at him but my voice is tied.
“Take it,I will talk to you later.”
“Okay.” Then she went out of the room.
Antonio turned towards me.
“Look Knifey I know..
“How can you?” Barely keeping my voice down now.
“ How can you kill a girl with this brutality?”
“Look, I know it's overwhelming but I can't tell you everything right now.” He extended his hand to grab mine but I withdrew my hand.
“Don't you dare to fucking touch me.
You killed a girl in front of me and acted like nothing had happened.”
“At this point I am screaming at him.
How can you be so cruel? Don't you have any heart? That day you were so gentle with Nancy and today you killed an innocent girl.”
“Look, listen to me..
“What listen to you?huh? Maybe that's the reason why your gf is not with you? Or you have also killed her too, right?”
And I know that I crossed a line now.
“Knifey” he thunders and suddenly the sound of a gunshot rings out.
He shot me.
No,not me but towards me.
The bullet hit the wall.
“Don't you dare to say a word about her? Okay Knifey? Get out. Get out of here before I change my mind.’’
“I Fucking hate you Greco,you are a monster. A Fucking monster.”
.
.
.
And the damage is already done.
