How I Survived

04

It was the sound of our vehicle.

I saw Dakshi and Ishika to figure out what to do.

Were the boys leaving us behind?

We started running in the direction of the noise.

But as we were approaching it, the sound was fading out.

We lost the sound.

And now we did not know were we were.

It was more horrifying to know that we were lost in the forest.

We caught hold of each others hand, and started walking.

It was getting colder and we shivered for the cold breeze.

"I don't want to die, I want to meet my parent's, please, please" Ishika cried.

Dakshi caught hold of her and calmed her down a bit.

F -F- F -F -Thudd ......

Something fell infront of us from the tree above.

We could hear each other breathing so hard.

We moved closer and suddenly a hand raised out of it.

We screamed loudly and there was a resound in the silent forest.

It was so dark that we could not see clearly until we moved a little further.

Blood was dropping from the hand.

Pratik!! Pratik!!!!!!!! Pratik!!!

Dakshi could not stop screaming.

Pratik was lying infront of us.

We ran to him and sat down beside him.

He had a deep cut in his face.

One of his eye was damaged too.

He was bleeding to death.

He moaned with pain.

"Pratik! Please don't do this to us! Pratik! Pratik! Where is Ketan? We heard our vehicle sound? Weren't you leaving ?" I said crying.

Pratik could hardly speak.

"We were not l- Ahh, leaving you behind, we were coming in search for you"

"Then suddenly, the dev-- ," He widened his eyes and pointed behind us.

He left his last breath.

Nooooo!!! HELPPP ..... Hel--llllllpppp

The devil was right behind us and lifted Ishika with her hair.

Ishika was being taken away in the air.

I and Dakshi let out hands to her, but Ishika was gone by now.

We both sat there in one corner.

We were waiting for the death to take over us.

Dakshi and I were left alone, thinking of Ketan.

Dakshi rose up furiously, "Where are you? You f****** bitch, come kill me, kill me too, you bloody thing"

"Kill me" she continued to shout furiously.

I took her into my hands " Calm down, for God's sake! Please Dakshi,calm down"

"We will live ok? Nothing will happen to us. Believe me!" I said, having no belief that we will live.

Dakshi cried holding me.
