Chapter 11:
I had gotten used to waking up from the same dream everyday but today it was different. I woke up all sweaty. It was because I was running away from something in my dream. I couldn’t see what was chasing me but I could hear gunshots. Was I dreaming of the bulky dudes that I encountered in the forest? Maybe I was but I wasn’t that terrified of them last night then why now?
I quickly got up to fetch myself a glass of water from the jug that was kept on our dressing table.
“You okay?” Savannah said while rubbing her eyes. Her voice was husky from sleep.
“Yup, just had a bad dream.”
“Awe…. You want a hug?” she offered while holding out her arms.
“Yes please.” And within two seconds I was embraced in a bone-crushing hug.
“Let’s get ready now; we’ve got botany in half an hour.”
“Aye aye captain.” I replied with a salute.
And with that we jumped on Jane’s bed to wake her up.
After karate class, I grabbed my phone from my hand bag to check for messages. I had two of them. One from Jane, asking me to hurry up and another from an unknown number which read:
“Hey, I’ll be comin’ on the 24th as sum ppl found out abt my plan.”
I highly doubt this number was M’s due to eavesdropping on the ugly dude’s conversation. So they were sending their agent four days before M arrives. I think I can handle him for four days without getting in any trouble.
‘Hmm…’ I thought, ‘let’s see how good of an actor you are Mr. Fake.’
****
I woke up late due to the anti-allergies Jane forced me to gulp down yesterday. Ugh. I hate medicines. They completely change the taste of your mouth and make you want to barf all the time. So you must have gotten by now that I was sick. How I got sick? Well let’s just say these forests hate me. We were on a botany assignment collecting flowers to investigate them and my body started itching like crazy. I wasn’t normally allergic to jasmines but like I said, the forest hates me so my whole body got red and I began sneezing. So here I am stuck on the bed with a massive headache. I tried getting ready as quickly as I could with a drug induced body. I was still brushing my hair when I heard two people coming to my dorm. Maybe Jane and Savannah came to check on me. I started heading towards the door when I heard two hushed, rough voices. I couldn’t make out what they were saying from our dressing table so I tip toed my way to the door. I held my ear against it and tried hearing to what they said.
"No, we can’t even touch her as yet, Luke. Don’t forget what boss said." it was a strangely familiar voice. Where have I heard it?
"But can’t we just sniff around a lil’ at least? We might find something." the other rough voiced person, Luke, whined.
"No. She is smarter than that. She has been into the woods a couple of times so she knows something or the other so we can’t risk our exposure. Let’s just wait till the boy comes. He'll be able to gain her trust"
"How? We tried but she obviously didn’t trust us. She practically ran when we brought her to the camp"
"We're buffed up, tattooed men. Lil' girlies are afraid of that. Of course she didn’t trust us. But boss said he looks harmless. She will trust him. Just two more weeks, Luke. We need to keep her alive till then"
'Alive???' my brain was shouting at me. They were planning to kill me once they get the necklace? I didn’t expect something less from them but hearing it was so much creepier.
"Let's leave before anyone sees us," the other guy said.
I ducked so that they won’t be able to see me from the windows. When I couldn’t hear their footsteps anymore, I tiptoed my way to my bed to get my sneakers. I wore them quickly and was getting up when I heard the clicking of the keys. Shit! They are back. They even have keys?! Crap!! I looked around the room to find something that can b used as a weapon but I couldn’t find any so I just stood in a defensive pose near the door waiting for my chance to attack.
The door opened and I was about to punch the person but i stopped it midway when i heard a high pitched scream. I could see Jane ducking her head with a scrunched up face, preparing for the attack.
"Shit. What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"What am I doing here? What the hell were you up to??" she screamed at me.
"I’m so sorry I was just practising for my karate class."
"You’re sick. Ur supposed to lie in bed! Not punch people coming in through the door!"
"I know. I’m so sorry I was just stretching for the class so i wouldn’t feel so dizzy and i can attend it."
She raised her eyebrow but let it go and started heading towards our class.
