"Shyera!?", I tried once more.
No reply again.
"Ash?Irwin?Tany?Anyone there?What's over my eyes?"
I was about to give up when I heard a very soft mumble. I recognized it as Ash's voice and somehow we managed to get the pocket knife in Ash's pocket out. We then got all the ropes around us cut and the cloth around his mouth and my eyes removed. We found Tanyra lying on the floor and brought her back with a count of ten slaps.
Once she was up, we looked around the room, searching for a door.There was none of them. We bangef at the walls. We were in a really silly situation. We were free, but not exactly.
There wasn't even a window here. But we weren't suffocating at all. I tried to find the source of air. I guessef it was coming from above. I tried to find if there's...
I woke up at six in the morning. (I guess six is the ending time for my alloted time of dreams.)
I was sweating and my breath was too fast to be normal. I calmed down in some time. I tried to keep myself in control over my thoughts. The sudden disappearance of my best friend from my dreams was giving me more and more tension. I couldn't actually keep myself cool each morning. Had I started to behave in a weird way as well? Normal Avora would have told Shyera first about the dreams. But this Avora was not doing that. Normal Avora would have gone to Amyra's place and boasted about her bad deeds till her parents locked her in a room. But this Avora was not. God! Dreams make you an overthinking freak.
I hired a taxi and reached college after waiting too long for Shyera. On reaching college, I found that Shyera had never reached. Maybe her dreaming time was more than me. But Esther is there and..wait.She was running towards me.
"Esther! Is everything alright? Is Shyera okay?"
"Nothing is okay, Avora! Shyera isn't home yet! She had gone out of the house at about five! Its almost ten but she hasn't returned! I thought she's with you, but here you are and she is not!"
"Oh god!"
It was tomorrow that we were going to carry out our plan,me and Ashton had postponed it first thing in the morning, and she was gone somewhere now. She wasn't even picking up her phone. Where was she? I left our section, taking Esther by the hand, and went to the other part of the college...to find Irwin. I quickly messaged Tanyra to come there. Once Tanyra reached us, we looked for Irwin.
He was nowhere.
We tried a thousand times to contact each one of them but that woman on the phone company kept on saying 'The number you are trying is unreachable.'
We gave up and decided to bunk our classes. Esther drove to our college, so at least we are spared the time of hiring a taxi. We ran to Irwin's house and skillfully prevent Irwin's mom from knowing the truth and getting worried.
Esther: OMG! I have to find Shyera. What has happened to her?! And what's happening to the five of you? Do you realise how weird you're acting since I've come?
Tanyra: What? Weird! How do you know how we were acting before you entered our crazy lives?
A long silence with a puzzled look on Esther's face follows.
Esther:That doesn't matter. What matters right now is finding them.
Esther says that as cold as ice.
Tanyra:Okay Esther. But what do we do?
Me:People! I have an idea. Let us contact Silvee.
Tanyra:Silvee?
Esther:Silvee?
Me: Yeah. Silvee Darrens. She's a phone expert and one of my best friends in neighbours. Her house is next to mine and she knows Shyera well, because Shyera and Silvee went to the same Kindergarten. She's just two years older to us and didn't go to college because she received a scholarship for computer expertise in high school itself.
Esther:Well....so she's the same Silvee who had cut my hair and then fought with my peace loving sis.
Me:Peace loving? Since when?
Esther: Yeah...she changed after that. But that's not the thing right now! Lets go!
