silver of my soul

Trap!

WIN'S POV

When I was driving to company after dropping off Ice to her school I thought I saw Alice I was about to follow her but it was red signal I got out of the car to follow her but I lost her sight I saw her for tenth of seconds and then she was gone when it came to my senses that because Alice wasn't under police custody and she is hiding with others who escaped that night so her apartment would be empty and I knew where she lived so I came here to search for anything that I might find useful that could help us find any leads about that cult . Now that I am thinking why didn't Mr nate asked me about Alice? That's skeptical.

This place is a mess God what happened here!

I think I should call Mr. Nate . Maybe no there is something fishy with him. I have been ignoring that name but hell with it! Bright is the better option now and weirdly I trust him more than I would like to admit.

PRESENT

BRIGHT'S POV

The door is open, no lock I enter cautiously and oh god everything is scattered here sofa is turned upside down. Is it sign of struggle had they got to win? !

"Win!.win!. "

Footsteps are coming from one of the rooms I maintain my stance ready to fight if needed

"Why are you shouting? "

"Why are you not sitting in a corner? I asked you to sit in a corner this could be dangerous. "

Win sighs , "really"

"I am serious "

"And I am annoyed " Win said giving me a pointed look.

"I was worried win. What a wreck is this,Whose place is this? Did you do all this" I asked gesturing to the mess of a living room.

"No, I saw alice Or atleast I thought I saw her near the circle and I tried to follow her but I lost her and it was close to her house so I thought I might find something here if not Alice herself. "

"And before you ask me, No I did not break in She gave me the key to her house so that I could come anytime at night I wanted"

"Why would you come to her house at nig.... Oh. Oh! Okay I um...understand. "

My face is flushed I can feel heat rising to my cheeks it's awkward
"No, it was just... Like casual you know"

"Yeah of course"
He is not looking at me ,anywhere but me well I am doing the same.
"What happened here? "

" I don't know what happened here that's the reason I called you. It's obvious that someone was trying to find something here"

"And based on how thorough they were in their search they must have found what they wanted"

"I think that Alice was here and she was trying to erase any traces or clues but why would she destroy her own house like this , her bedroom looks like a hurricane passed through it. "

"You can look around to find if anything is missing"

"Umm I tried, I mean I never paid attention to details nor have I entered other rooms hell I am not even sure if the paint on the walls or designs are same as I remember or not ".

"That's good to hear"

"What? "

"Oh nothing, I mean you can't pay attention to details in football match so naturally it's expected of you"

"Hey! That's not true, don't abuse your captain status!. "

"Oh I am not doing anything as such what I am stating is a fact you are too focused on goal that you take no notice of small cues by goalkeeper"

"I can't believe You are still not letting go my one mistake!.You know what? I am not having this conversation here, there are other matters that need my attention now. "

"More like you have no comeback "

"Bright! Really?! "

Oh god save me! I love his pointed looks . And my name sounds so good when he says it.

"Why are you smiling now? "

Because I am falling for you hard..
"I am not! "

"You are weird"

only for you.
Win smiles and shakes his head. And I love it. Seeing him makes me feel at ease like I can deal with anything and everything that's wrong in my life.

My bubble pops when win's phone rings

"Hello. What?! How can that be?! I'll go there now"

" What happened? "
Win is not responding whatever happened has shooked him.

"Win! Hey.. What happened"

"I... Ice.. She hasn't returned home...and school claims that she went early as per my request, but I.. I made no such request. I....."

"Hey.. Hey it's okay we should go to school they must have info who took her maybe she is with some relative and you are worrying for nothing"

"Yeah.you are right, she must be okay... I am being too dramatic... We should.... We should-. "

"Go to school? "

"Yes yeah, can you drive. I think I am not thinking straight. "

"Yeah of course I am not leaving you alone "
I hold win's hand and led him out of the apartment to my car. Even though I said it must be okay I have this dreadful feeling that something is not right...
