Into The Woods

The Winds Blow -4-

Author's POV,

What is a forest without a snake? But... Is snake the only thing that's dangerous in a forest?

Anvesha: Maybe you are thinking too much. Isn't it obvious that forests include Snakes. It's quite normal.

Vedant: Exactly... It's quite normal. We all are here. What bad can happen?

Yeshaswini: Yepp... Let's get going.

Tushar: Can we take a break? I'm tired of running.

Shanaaya: That's a good idea. Maybe that will clear our minds.

(A few hours later)

Tushar: (yawns)

Shanaaya: Good Evening.

Bhavin: Isn't this supposed to be Afternoon?

Vedant: Let me see... It's just 1:00pm. Why is it so cloudy? Wasn't it sunny before?

Anvesha: Don't tell me it's gonna rain now. I can't run again for shelter this time.

Yeshaswini: Don't jinx it.

Author's POV,

Suddenly the sky gets darker. Winds started to blow heavily. Trees are about to break down. All the creatures are screaming. Everything is a chaos.

Vedant: What the hell is happening?

Bhavin: These winds... I can't move my body.

Yeshaswini: I think there's a Storm.

Anvesha: A Storm?

Shanaaya: (gasps)

Tushar: I can't see anything.

Vedant: Everybody... Hold each other's hands. Hold tightly.

Anvesha: We gotta hide somewhere.

Shanaaya: But where? Even the large trees are falling.

Bhavin: As long as we don't fly away with these winds.

Vedant: Nothing's gonna happen. Don't worry. This is an open area. We need to hide behind something strong and big. Maybe a huge rock.

Anvesha: That would be great.

Yeshaswini: But how? We can't even move our legs. We can barely see anything.

Anvesha: Where there is a will, there is a way. Let's put efforts together.

Tushar: Yes. We can do it. Urrggghhhh...

Shanaaya: (stumbles)Ouch...

Bhavin: Shanaaya, careful.

Shanaaya: I can't... I can't run anymore.

Vedant: Get yourself together. You have to do this.

Shanaaya: You people shouldn't waste your time on me. I'll stay. You guys should leave.

Bhavin: We're not leaving without you. Climb on my back.

Shanaaya: No... You don't have to do that.

Bhavin: I have. Get on my back.

Shanaaya: Okay...

Tushar: Can you do this?

Bhavin: Yes, I can.

Vedant: Be quick. We gotta run.

Yeshaswini: My legs. They feel numb.

Tushar: We can't stop now. Run.

Anvesha: OMG!!! The winds are getting stronger.

Vedant: I can see a huge rocks over there. Maybe we can hide between them.

Bhavin: Perfect. Let's go.

Tushar: I can't see anything.

Shanaaya: Hell!!! It's raining. We gotta reach there before this rain gets heavier.

Vedant: Run! Run! Run!

Shanaaya: Did you hear someone screaming?

Yeshaswini: No.

Tushar: Anyways. We are few more steps away.

Vedant: Finally. We need to hide under these rocks until the weather gets fine.

Shanaaya: Bhavin, you can put me down now.

Bhavin: Umm... Yeah. Careful.

Shanaaya: Where's Anvesha?

Vedant: Anvesha? Isn't she here?

Bhavin: Anvesha? Anvesha, you here?

Vedant: Where is she? Wasn't she with us till now?

Shanaaya: I told you, I heard someone screaming.

Vedant: Anvesha is in danger. We gotta look for her.

Bhavin: Vedant, it's risky to go now.

Vedant: We can't leave her out like that. We can't lose her.

Tushar: But if you go out now, I don't think you can ever get back. We can't bare to lose one more person.

Vedant: (screams) Anvesha.............
