Arjun's POVIt took me a whole minute to reach to Wood's house as it was deep in the middle of the forest and the way could be a little confusing sometimes.
Anyway, when I was about to reach his front gate, two wolfs came from nowhere, one was black and another was grey. They both growled at me, trying to scare me. Well, they totally don't know what I am. The grey one was the one who was growling the most. I mind linked with him.
"Go away or I will rip you into pieces." He said.
I looked at the black wolf, I think he was the same wolf who was with Jeremy.
"Oh, really. Well, you are fortunate enough that I am not here to fight. I am here to meet Woods." By saying this I started walking towards the main gate. But that grey wolf was not determined to back off. He suddenly leaped towards me. I used my powers and threw a fire ball at him before he attacked me. He fall flat on the ground. I didn't hit him hard, I used just a speck of my abilities so he was still alive.
"You should feel happy you are still alive." I said to that partially conscious wolf. The black wolf just looked at me. Then I heard the front door to open and saw that Mr Woods was standing in front of his porch.
"Oh, Arjun. What a pleasant surprise!!" He happily welcomed me. Then his gaze shifted to that lying wolf. " Mandy did something right?" He shook his head," Anyways, Luke take him inside." He said to the black wolf and threw gym shots at them. He then again turned to me," Arjun, come in, son."
"I not here for just a usual visit. I want to ask you something." I stood closer to him. "Do you know Jeremy?"
His eyes bulged out for a second and again went to normal.
"I think the time has come." Mr Woods said in a low voice.
"For what??" I asked, I knew something fishy is going on here.
"Let's have some coffee, son." Woods said and started walking in the house. I followed him quietly.
Sheena's POV
I was in Nura's room and right now she is sleeping soundly. Only I know how hard it was for me to make her stop crying and sleep. After emptying 10 tissue boxes and 1000 words of consolation, she agreed to take some rest.
I pulled a silk blanket over her and went out of her room and closed the door, I don't want to disturb her sleep. As soon as I closed the door I heard a very faint voice..
"Sheena...." It was mere even a whisper. Maybe it was the wind, I thought to myself. I just shrugged and started moving towards my room.
"Sheena...." This time the voice was clear. I stopped on my path. I was so scared that I was reluctant to turn and see who it was. You can do it Sheena. I tried to convince myself. With all courage I turned and saw a girl in white dress, going into the adjoining hallway.
"Whose there?" I asked but she didn't answered.
I then thought to follow her. After few turns she stopped in front of the gate and went in, without even opening the door. I know I should be running away from here but I did totally the opposite. I went to the gate and stood in front of it. It was dark here but I was able to see the plate with 'Ball Room' written over it in bold letters.
My heart was beating very fast. As I extended my arm to open the door, it automatically opened with a cracky sound, without I touching it. It so appears like those horror movies which I used to watch at home. At that time, I used to love that thrill and goosebumps it used to give me but now...
Now I realize how it actually feels.....
Anyways, I opened the door further so that I can go inside. I heard someone crying as I stepped in the room. I looked around to see who is crying. My eyes landed on the two girls standing near the window. One was wearing a white dress, which I guess was the same girl whom I saw in the hallway, she was consoling the girl wearing a blue dress who was crying but I couldn't see their faces.
"She is here. Don't cry everything will be fine." Said the white one but the blue one continued to cry. Then the white one disappered into thin air, living the other girl alone crying. The moment I saw her face, I felt as if I got an heart attack. I was sweating like anything. The girl in blue dress was......Suhana.
How could this be possible? She was dead, right? I know dead people can't come back unless they are....
"You are Sheena, right?" Suhana said. She was standing right in front of me. I could see the trails of tears on her face. I nodded.
"Oh, god. I wanted to meet you for so long." She was still crying. "Please help him. Please, please, please help him. His life is in danger." She said between her sobs.
"Who? Who should I help and why?" I asked, trying to understand what is she saying.
"I don't have much time and neither he. Please help him before he loses himself to the...." She cut off as she started to vaporise in air. "Please save him. I am depending upon yo.." She completely vanished in front of my eyes!!!
What just happened???
Arjun's POV
I was still trying to get over what Mr Woods just told me. Can this be even possible?
"So Arjun, will you help us?" Asked Mr Woods. Luke who was right now in his human form was looking at me with his brown eyes. He was wearing gym shots which Mr Woods gave to him and his black hair was up in a small quiff.
"Yes sure, Mr Woods...." He cut me in mid sentence.
"Please, call me Philip. 'Mr Woods' is way too formal and now that you are ready to help us, I think we can think of you as a friend." He said gave Luke a quick glance. Luke nodded in approval and smiled.
"Ok, Mr- sorry, Philip. I was saying that you really think that I am the right person for this?" I asked. I don't know but I felt a little nervous about this.
"Don't worry, son." He said as he rose from his chair and went to the drawer. He opened one and took out a small bottle, filled with some potion in it. He, then placed that bottle in my hand and said again," I know you can do this."
I looked that bottle again and said to myself, "I can do this...."
