🦊|GETTING BACK|

Chapter 2
Sarika Vij

Atleast that lunatic kept his promise and let me go. But, I still feel my heart pounding till I reach the Freiswood campus.

I luckily ran into no-one on the way back.

Now I just have to avoid meeting my brother, because he must be walking around.

Late night strolls are Vedant's stress remover, and tomorrow's a big day so he needs to remove stress.

I remember Ravi saying 'I'll beat your brother tomorrow'

I look back at Jursix campus.

There's a long list of reasons to hate Jursix children and now a 21 year old unhinged is a part of it.

Jursix and Freiswood are 2 houses in the same university , the Roxrex University. And both these houses hate each other with a burning passion.

From academics to sports each house wants to excell and the competition became very unhealthy.

One day some weird person decided that hosting a hunting for both the houses to participate in would quench their thirst of winning agsinst each other elsewhere,

But the hunting only fueled the hate.

Every year this competition takes place. Every year, 4 people from each house goes into a maze and they hunt each other. Knock each other down. Or cause them to back down.

The competition is anticipated more than anything in this university, and every year people try to sabotage each other.

Ravi must have thought I was doing the same, though that is no reason for doing whatever he did.

"Sarika?" I flinch at the voice and turn to see my brother standing against a pillar, arms folded over his broad chest.

He doesn't even look like we're related. He didn't inherit red hair from our parents and has black hair, but atleast we share bluish grey eyes.

"Vedant?" I ask.

"What are you doing here, at this time?" His voice is stern.

Making out with the guy you'll be battling tomorrow.

I shake my head and remove that thought.

"Just strolling."

He doesn't look convinced, do Imuse the only card up my sleeve.

"I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep." I say.

As I thought, it throws his stony expression off. His face softens, and he says," Don't worry they'll stop one day."

I feel bad for lying, but I'm technically not lying. It was the nightmare which woke me up and caused me to go to Jursix campus in the first place.

"Were you crying?" He asks.

"N-no.." I mumble. He must be seeing tears from before, when Ravi fucked m-

"I swear if the fucker wasn't dead already, he'd regret living." Vedant says, calmly.

My throat clogs with emotion, and I hate this, everything.

"On second thought, I should probably dig out his grave and torture his dead body."

The image seems disgusting and I say,"It's okay, I'm goingback to sleep now."

He lets me go back, and I walk to the girl's dorm, to my room.

Nikita, my best friend and roommate is sleeping when I come in.

She's tall and the bed doesn't fit her properly, so she goes to sleep curled up.

"Mm.. Sarika?" She mumbles.

"Yeah, it's me, you go to sleep." I say.

She opens her green eyes a little, still sleepy, she says,"Why are you up? Another nightmare? Do you need help?"

"No, go to sleep, Niks. I'll fix myself a lemon honey tea." I say.

"As you say, good night." Nikita says and falls into a deep slumber again.

I drink the tea I made.

It calms my nerves and I fall into bed beside Nikita.

For the first time in my life, I don't get nightmares, instead I dream about a caramel eyed crazy lunatic.
