Things Not Seen

Chapter 8

Knock...knock...

"Who are you?" I cried

The knocking continued. I was terrified, I chewed almost all my fingernails. I took my walkie-talkie and called Luke.

"Hello, it's me Naira, someone is here, I'm terrified, Please come and get me" I spoke in a single breath.

"Yeah, just hold on, I am on my way," he replied quickly.

Suddenly the knocking stopped. After few minutes again, I heard a knock, but this time it was Luke. He came in and I told him everything. I think he believed me.....

"So, now get ready, it's office time" he said as he stepped out of the room.

Within few minutes I got ready and went up to his car. Beth was with him, I was relieved. I told him that I drowned my cell phone the other night. On our way to the office, he stopped the car at a shop. I had not received my first salary so I borrowed money from Luke and told him I would return as soon as possible.

I could feel him,
But couldn't see.
I could touch him,
But I shouldn't be.

I got a new phone, I kept it in my bag and reached the car. We drove to the office. On the way Luke asked me to visit his house for a house party. After what happened the other day, I never wanted to attend another such party, but he assured me that Beth would accompany me the whole night. Finally, I agreed to his request.

After the office hours, I reached home. I had a phone so I could call my driver. I called him and told him to take me to Luke's place.

Beth held my hand and helped me thoroughly. I went up to his room to meet him.

"Oh, good to see you" Luke shouted with excitement.

"Yeah, this is a present for you," I said as I handed over the box of chocolates.

I enjoyed the evening. When the party got over I again came back to Luke's room, but he was not there. Beth was with me.

"You know, the other day a few of my clothes and food just vanished" I said as I sat down on a chair.

"How is that possible, I think you ate the foods and send the clothes to the laundry" she giggled.

Even I laughed but I was sure that something was wrong. But I didn't say anything else relating to that. Just then Luke came in. He told me that he would bring me home. But I had my driver waiting, so he walked me to the car.

"Good-bye, hope to see you tomorrow" he said and touched my shoulder.

I smiled and entered into my car. I was late. I couldn't hear any other vehicles moving up and down the road.

"Ma'am someone is coming after our car" the driver said softly.

"Who could it be" I muttered

This happened few days ago as well. You was someone watching me. Was I a threat to their life or was he going to destroy me.

"Stop the car" someone shouted from a car.

I could hear a bang on the back door. Someone was dragging me, dragging me fast. I could hear my driver shout. I struggled, I tried to escape. I tried so hard.
