Voodootown by Bruce Elgin
Under your bed, hidden in your walls, they come out when you sleep to defend you. They fight the battles you can't, make friends you thought you'd never have, and make your life better in ways you'll never know. But they aren't safe anymore. And without them, none of us are safe either.
*****
When High School and life start to get even weirder than usual, Ash, Janey and their friends discover that not only do they have small, voodoo doll sized protectors that fight for them when they sleep, but these allies are under attack by a man with frightening powers. They watch as the mastermind turns people into mindless zombies by capturing their protectors. Soon, the humans and their guardians are working together and fighting for their lives and using every one of their own powers against a man who wants to turn them all into slaves. But will they be enough against a man with two armies and the powers of everyone that he captures?

"The chapters go from a whisper to a scream with the panache of Anne Rice on acid. I could not stop gobbling these bad-ass little bon-bons... highly recommended!" -- Jay Bonansinga, New York Times bestselling co-author of THE WALKING DEAD: THE ROAD TO WOODBURY

She is walking in the dark corridors which are barely lit, the only source of light is the torch light in her hand.
As she is walking she heard someone calling her " Piyali...."
she halted in her tracks and turned back, she find the voice familiar but can't decipher where she heard, the voice is so sweet to her...
" Piyali"... the voice again called this time she decided to check.
she walked towards the voice direction
" who's is there?" Her voice echoed but no reply came, so she neared the spot from where the voice is heard, which is more darker than the corridor, even her torch is falling short in the darkness there, she is trying to adjust her eyes, squinting her eyes she asked again " who's is that?"
She expected a reply but she was pulled into a hug.
As a girl she is trying to defend herself but the hug is so strong she is unable to even move.
she can hear that manly voice kept saying something to her, but she is unable to understand.
Those hands now cupped her face, while she tried to see who it is,
but she felt kisses on her neck traveling towards her face,
she resisted and shouted " no...leave me...no"
Hearing that the hands left her face immediately, and the manly voice sounded concern, but escaping from the grip, she started to run from there in the darkness.
she is not in the right state of mind she just kept running and running until she bumped into someone.
