♥The Twin Fling♥

Chapter 3

"Crystal!!" I screamed her name out and then tried touching her but I was astonished to see my hand passing through her body and again when I tried touching her she just faded like dust in the air.

"Crystal!! Crystal!!" I suddenly woke up calling her name out with the tears brimmed in my eyes. I was in cold sweat, I sat there quivering with terror. I could not just get control over my shakiness and the shivers ran all through my body just thinking about what I've dreamt.

I assured myself that it was just a Goddamn nightmare because I forget to pray before sleeping last night. But my stupid inner voice just doesn't know when to shut up and is reminding me dreadingly that usually the dreams we see around this time come true.. 'shut up, inner voice!' 'What its a fact, am just reminding.' 'No its a myth now just shush,stupid pessimist!' 'You do realise we're both same and hence you are calling yourself stupid' ughhhh great just great..!

Now am fighting maniacly with my conscience. I'll go berserk if this continues.

"Wait, what!" I astounded as soon as I looked at the clock. It was 9 o'clock in the morning and I padded around and looked in rooms for Crystal but to my disappointment I didn't find her anywhere.

"What the hell is happening?"
"I hope there's nothing serious...." I spoke aloud to avoid the pin drop silence in the house.

Why am I having this extremely bad feeling like there is something unfortunate going to happen. I hope she is fine..where are you Chris?? Please be safe ...don't get in any sort of trouble. I hope this is one of your temper tantrums where you'll come back once you're calm..I just need something,anything.. to know you are safe and sound. That God damn nightmare is making me all nerves.

I tried contacting on Crystal's mobile but again the call disconnected as her mobile was switched off.

"Tring...tring!..Tring...tring!..."
Telephone rings, I expectantly answered the call.

"Hello?...."

"Hey Charlotte! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? Dad told me that you came home last night and you were worried about Crystal. I am sorry as I wasn't there to..." Henry kept questioning me in one breath. He wasn't even giving me a chance to speak.

"Hey! Its absolutely fine...I understand! Yes I came to your house to meet you, since you were not home, dad...I mean James Sir kept me some company. Don't sweat about it." I interrupted and tried to keep my shaky voice because of previous events as calm as possible.

"I tried contacting you on your mobile. It was and it is switched off even now. Anyway, I am coming home, we will talk there...don't worry! Ok?....Hello??" He stressed at the last word.

"Yes! Yes! I hear you...ok! See you! Bye!" I just couldn't get my thoughts off the dream that I saw. I replied to him and hung up.

I made a call to Chris's friends but none of them have a clue of where she is.

It made me even more anxious as to where she could probably go.
I walked off to freshen up. When I saw my mobile, it reminded me of charging it. I plugged my phone to the charger and went into the hall.

I sat on the sofa and encouraged myself to be optimistic. So I took a long breath and calmed myself and prayed to God to get Crystal home soon.

While waiting for Henry to come I started preparing breakfast for Crystal, when she returns and for Henry and myself.

Henry has actually took the day off from the university for me. Soooo kind of him.

Henry's POV:
Charlotte seemed a little lost in her thoughts. I have no idea what exactly is going on with her.
I don't know how she is holding up after Crystal's sudden disappearance.
