Dave's POV

I heard Angel scream. My legs ran like I was running for my life. I bust in her room and saw her shouting.

" Help me.. Help me to come out of this darkness.. Please someone help me.."

I switched on the lights and went to her. I grabbed her shoulders and still she was shouting.

" Get away from me.. Leave me alone.. Get away.."

May be she was again haunted by the nightmare. I jerked her.

" Angel.. Angel.. Its me Dave.. "

" Get away.." She was uttering those words again and again.

" Angel.. Open your eyes and see. Its me Dave. "

She slightly opened her eyes and a drop of tear rolled down from it. She hugged me tightly around my neck. I felt her body shivering.

" Dave.. Dave.. Don't leave me alone. Please.. Please be with me. "

She was stuttering in fear. I patted her to make her calm down. She was still hugging me like a lost child who hugs her mom.

" I'm here only Angel. I'll never go away from you. I'll be with you. Don't worry. Don't be afraid. I'm here Angel. "

Angel was breathing heavily and yet didn't move an inch from me. I embraced her within my arms and caressed her hair. Her shuddering got abridged slightly.

I made her lie down on the couch. She looked at me with her tearful eyes and caught hold of my hand. Her grip mentioned me to not leave her alone.

My one hand was sandwiched between her chill frozen palms and I was fondling her head with my other hand. When minutes passed, her heavy breathing has become a normal rhythmic breathing.

Until she dozed off, her eyes were fixed at me to make sure whether I'm with her or not

Until she dozed off, her eyes were fixed at me to make sure whether I'm with her or not. She didn't want me to leave. Once I made sure that she slept, I slowly pulled out my hand from her clutch.

When I rose up to leave, I saw something distending from beneath her pillow. My curiosity pushed me to pull that out. It was some photograph.

I turned to see the photo. And I was shocked and stood stunned after seeing it. That was some family photo and Angel was amidst them.

Angel looked totally different in her hairstyle and dressing style. She was wearing a blue jean and a white tunic and with shoulder length hair.

Near to her was some girl who resembled Angel but younger than her. I think this is her younger sister as Harini mentioned.

Angel was hugged sideways by an elder man and her sister was hugged sideways by an elder woman. May be this was her parents I guess.

I couldn't take my eyes off from Angel in the photograph. She was smiling and her eyes were glittering in happiness unlike now. The blankness in her eyes at present was missing in the photo.
