West hill..
Yes that's my destination now. I checked my phone to see it was 6pm.
I was feeling weak, tired, I was just begging for this things to stop..why doesn't my life magically become normal again?

I didn't waste anymore time..I was wearing the same white dress and wore a white casual snickers with it. I took a torch and a knife for protection. West hill is a deep dark forest.. people never ever dare to enter that forest..it is said that this dark forest is abode of many tarantulas animals. I remember when some people went missing and they were found there without vital parts like heart, liver ,eyes...sometimes skin..
This sounds so dangerous

I didn't bother being interested in going there for a little adventure when my friends insisted. But I would've been been interested If I were to go there alone.
Now when I'm about to enter into a hell of earth every tale of misadventures are crashing back into me.

But I'm so ready to save them. I'm accountable to Antony. He trusted me with his family. And here I am..for my dumb disobedient silly self they are in danger.
They are part and parcel of Antony and me. I have to save them.i have to..I was mentally failing at encouraging me..I was breaking out. Never in my life I crossed the path of west hill..the mysterious, dangerous woods.

So that's it. As I don't have any more time for my dramatic self. I made myself ready to go there. I have to do it anyway

I called an Uber...

20 minutes later:

The Uber parked Infront of a gas station 5 minutes away from the woods. I set my destination here, so that I don't look suspicious. I was still in a daze. Should I go there!? Will I ever return back home? Will he kill me? And the cats too?

My hands were shaking when I was paying the driver.
And then I started towards the woods..
Every step I took was questioning me whether I should go or not..is this a bad Idea?
I don't know.I don't know anything.I just know that I have to save them!

The sun is still out.It will become clearly dark probably at 7pm..woods become more dangerous after dark..i don't have time.

When I finally came across the forest. I looked at my phone to see it was 6:30..
Lord please save me.I got only 30 minutes to find them and come back. The moment it will become dark , the moment I'll be damned.

I took a deep breath, prayed to the lord and took my first step in the woods and a thunderstorm crashed so near that I jerked back again..oh shit! Why is this so scary!
I looked at the sky to meet black clouds taking places..and the evening changed into a vicious night..

I yelped knowing this a very bad decision..but I came all over here not to be failed..
I thought about Zain. How Zain always made me scared, how he hurt my loved ones..and there was a sudden urge on me to take him down..And there was confidence peeking out on my scared little heart.

I closed my eyes and entered into the forest. Dead leaves were crunching under my shoes..I took a look around to see gathering of trees that were perhaps 100 feet lengthy..and the woods already looked dark enough.so I searched for the torch on my beg when I heard a scream of an unknown animal..I ignored it and turned the torch on. Dense dark forest....almost looks haunted.....

My heart was throbbing for me to change my decision.

I started going forward

"Gingerrrrr! Panther!" I shouted out their names

"Gingerrrrr! Panther!" I shouted out their names...I know if they are near, they would run towards hearing their names

"Milky!!! Where are you!???" Tears gathered in my eyes..I was so scared and anxious.

Suddenly I felt like someone just passed behind me..I immediately looked back

"WHO!? PANTHER!!! Milky!?" My heart was beating so fast that I could hear them loud

The forest looks hungry, like it would engulf me any second.

So i did a unexpected thing. Being the victim I am, I called my predator

"Zainnn! I'm here-e!" My lips coward calling out his name

"Let go of THEMMM!!" I said , surprised at my own anger.

I entered more and more deep into the forest

"ZAINNNN!!"  I was going further deep..

When suddenly the torch went of.. my eyes went wide..
And I tried so hard, but it wasn't working.

I started to run back at the place I came from when I stumbled into something and fall on the ground of dirt and dead leaves..the force made my waist go numb in pain..  "ahhh shit"

While I was crying because of the pain..there was a specific noise on the background..I tried to put my attention back at the surroundings.

Not far from me , the leaves were crunching up as if someone was walking on them..the noise was coming near and near

"Shit" I stopped moving. So that whoever was coming towards me won't find me.
There can be a lot of bad people lurking in this forest

When I heard,the sound of them was so close to me. I stopped breathing too. Panting would be a great word for this. I know I am an idiot and I always put myself in danger. 

I became frozen. I could feel someone's presence behind me. But it was already dark. And no one could see me, unless they have superpower.
Why did I ever come into this forest in the first place!! I should've bought someone with me !! Or Police!? But I didn't. Because there was a chance that Zain would get mad and kill them if he saw that I bought people with me

I heard the noise again. Whoever the person or animal was getting closer and closer..lord save me. I couldn't hold my breath anymore
And tried breathing a little..when...

"Gotcha little Miss"  i immediately knew who was this...
