Chapter 1



Zoya woke up gasping for air, her heart pounding in her chest.

The vivid images of her being kidnapped and trapped in a dark, luxurious room was still fresh in her mind.

She could feel the cold chains around her wrists, hear the sound of heavy footsteps approaching her, and smell the musty scent of fear that permeated the air.

Shaking off the remnants of the dream, Zoya tried to focus on her surroundings. She was in her own bedroom, the soft rays of sun filtering through the curtains casting a gentle light on the familiar objects around her.

She took deep breaths, trying to calm her racing heart, telling herself it was just a dream.

but it wasn’t, not really, because the memory is still fresh in her mind.

But as she sat up in bed, her eyes widened in horror as she saw a figure standing at the foot of her bed. It was a man, his face obscured as she was still not fully awake, his presence sending a chill down her spine. She tried to scream, but no sound came out.

" Zoya !, ZOYA!! " she heard, but no sound could come out of her lips .

what’s happening ?, why now ? when I thought I died and was finally free from that monster .she thought.

She could feel the chains wrapping around her wrist again, the room growing darker and colder by the second.

In a sudden burst of strength and adrenaline, Zoya leapt out of bed and ran towards the door, her heart pounding in her ears.

suddenly, she was grabbed .

no! I won't let this happen.. not again.

she thought.

Scratching the hand that kept her captive.

As she was suddenly pulled into a warm  smelled sandalwood..

Sandalwood.       

Zyan.

The familiar smell brought tears to her eyes.

she thought as she was slowly calming down

she heard voices vague and not very clear, but familiar all the same.

Ammi and bhai. but how? she died and brother was missing.

oh god! why are you punishing me  please let me go in peace.

Was her last thought as she passed out .

         -----------------------‐----‐------‐---‐---------

" It's probably nightmares as you said, she was stressed due to exams. so no worries, but if there is another episode, please do inform me." The doctor said as he packed up.

“ok doctor thank you”

"ma, what happened to her ?" he asked, looking at his sister gently.

"I don't....-"

“ammi”

“ha beta, Zoya, you want something ?” she asked frantically .

“Ammi water.”

as she drank the water .she thought maybe she was reborn like the novels she read.

but how? could she really get so  lucky?.

It seemed unreal but here she was as a proof.

but no matter,  I have to analyse everything.

“Ammi “ she called, looking at their concerned faces.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought of what happened to them in the future.

It Doesn’t matter, no more. I won’t let it happen this time around.

“Ammi I’m ok, it was  just a nightmare, and you heard the doctor, its just stress. and well...
I watched a horror movie yesterday, so”

“ pagal, do you how worried I was, I thought something happened to you ”Aliza said.

“Ammi I’m sorry.”

“Mm whatever .. come down for breakfast.” and she was gone.

Then she looked at her brother

“Are you sure you are ok ? no problem in collage, right ? if there is please tell us.”

“Zyan, are you serious? I told you, it’s a nightmare, ok! don’t worry. I’m ok, really.”

“Ok.”

“ then, I will be going to the office now.”

"Take care."

“And do get ready fast your friends will be over here soon.”

Mahnoor, Rhea.

oh lord! how long has it been since she last saw them.

And all this, because of that monster

Finally, with a click, the door swung closed.
