As anya sat in the car, the city lights flashing by, she tried to shake off the eerie feeling that had followed her from the club. She focused on the cheerful chatter of her friends, attempting to push away the unease.

The music played softly, and she forced herself to engage in the conversation, smiling and laughing as if everything was normal.

"Did you see how kunal tried to dance like a penguin?" Anika laughed, breaking into the conversation.

Kunal, defending himself said "Hey, I was just trying to mix things up. It's called 'creative dance'."

"Oh, sure," Shraddha teased, "And I suppose your 'creative dance' involves having two left feet?"

Ishaan chimed in, "Oh come'on guys you should not tease him like this, at least kunal's dance moves are memorable."

Siya laughed, "Yeah right, we should not tease kunal instead we should tease ishaan." Siya teased Ishaan and laughed "Remember when Ishaan tried to impress us with his 'epic' moonwalk and ended up slipping on the dance floor?"

The group burst into laughter, and Anya joined in, the sound of her friends' laughter easing her earlier tension.

**Someone's pov**

She's more beautiful than ever,
Today I saw her at the club with her friends laughing, dancing.
I have this urge to reserve her smile, laughter, dance and her just for me.
No worries I will make her mine, coming soon to have you my Doll.
Tonight, I'll make sure our paths cross. She won't forget this encounter.

**Author's pov"

As Anya stepped out of the car, the familiar sight of her house provided a small comfort. Just as she closed the car door and car drove away, Vikram's voice boomed, "You're late! Where have you been without informing anyone?"

Her voice trembled slightly. "Da..Dad...Actually, my friends....."

Before she could finish, Vikram's frustration boiled over. "Why don't you listen to me? I told you it's dangerous to go out this late! Didn't I"

Tears welled up in Anya's eyes. She tried to respond, but her voice was barely a whisper. Vikram's anger seemed to intensify.

Avinash stepped in, his tone softening. "Don't be so harsh on my little princess, Dad."

Vikram shot a look of irritation at Avinash. "Your princess went out clubbing this late, when I clearly told her not to do so. And she did ot without even asking for anyone's permission."

"I gave her permission to go out" Avinash said firmly, standing by Anya's side. "And anyways, she was just with her friends having a little fun, I don't think anything is wrong with this."

Vikram sighed deeply, his anger fading as he saw Anya's tears. "Anya, don't cry. I am just worried about you. You know it's dangerous outside this late,right?"

Anya wiped her tears and nodded, though she remained silent. Vikram's tone softened as he added, "Alright, alright. I won't scold you anymore. Go to your room and get some rest."

Avinash took Anya's hand and led her towards her room. As they reached her door, Anya couldn't help but smile mischievously and mutter to herself, "Good job, Anya Singh Shekhawat. Aap mumbai aa rahi hai."😂😂.

(You are coming to mumbai "it's just a slang dear readers")

Avinash chuckled, shaking his head. "You're such a mischievous child."

"Ab mai itni bhi kuch khaash nhi" She said laughing.

(I am not that special)

"Thanks for saving me bhai" Anya said with a smile.

Avinash smiled. "It's alright, but the next time you head out without mom Or dad's permission, just let me or Nandini ji know"

Anya's playful grin widened. "Ohhoo, NANDINI JI, huhhh"

Avinash tried to hide his blush, but it was futile. "Sleep, you little mischief-maker"

Before Anya could continue teasing, Avinash left her room, heading to his own. Anya settled into bed still laughing, the warmth of her family's care a comforting contrast to the earlier tension.

Meanwhile, the figure from earlier remained hidden, still watching from afar. As the night deepened, the figure's attention was focused solely on Anya's house. The admiration in their eyes was mixed with a calculated sense of purpose. The figure's plans were slowly taking shape, with Anya's world set to intersect with the darkness lurking just beyond her perception.

As the figure turned to leave, a soft, barely audible voice murmured from the shadows, "Tonight was just the beginning."

The figure's gaze shifted to the street where Anya's car had been, a faint smirk appearing as they disappeared into the night. The plan was in motion, and soon, Anya would have to face the consequences.

In her room, Anya lay in bed, trying to shake off the day's events. Despite her exhaustion, sleep eluded her. Her mind kept wandering back to the strange feeling she had in the club and the shadowy figure she thought she saw.

**Anya's pov**

Just as I was about to drift off, my phone rang, startling me. I grabbed it quickly, but the caller ID was unknown. Frowning, I hesitated before answering.

"Hello?" My voice was cautious.

There was no answer, only silence on the other end.

"Who is this?" I asked again, louder this time.

Still nothing. A faint breath, then the line went dead.

My heart pounded as I put my phone down. Before I could gather my thoughts, my phone buzzed again-this time, it was a message.

I picked it up, my heart skipping a beat when I saw the anonymous message:

"I'm watching you. See you soon, Doll."

My breath caught in my throat as I glanced around my darkened room, the uneasy feeling from earlier returning. My heart raced, and I wondered who could have sent such a message-and why.

**Author's pov**

As she lay back, trying to calm herself, the realization sank in: The night was far from over, and the unknown threat was just beginning to make itself known.
