A strange feeling of weariness filled her as she watched Ryan leaving .Although she had closed the passage , she could feel that he was watching her.
Her life revolved around a deep tornado , in which she didn't want Ryan to enter .
He deserves a girl better than her !
Hazel was usually so emotionally overwrought to ponder to reason to what type of lines, about thanking him , she should've expressed to him.
Maybe , she was not happy with the way that he forced her to take that house .Her burden was also increased , due to the pendant , he gifted her moments ago .
But, seeing the smile that was crazing through Anna and Emma's faces , her all tiredness ,including the urge to refuse Ryan , vanished into thin air.
Her history was nothing more than a sea of pain and a lot of misery.
But, she promised that she would anything to keep these people safe.A message vibrated on her phone and caught her attention.
With a tired sigh , she opened the "unknown" icon, and squeezed her light brown brows in confusion .
" Meet me at Bay ridge ,Brooklyn , At 8pm ".She read the text in confusion , the sender was an unknown number, that caused an untold fear rise from her body .
As, she go through the bold lines on the screen , she muttered , " Bay ridge , Brooklyn " , that was her new house address. Isn't it ?
Who could it be ?. The confusion was tingling her , so she replied ," Who..? " .
"I am so happy , yeah.. " , Emma jumped on the couch and cheered in happiness.
" Good days are coming ! , " Anna rubbed Emma's black locks , causing her hairs to tangled in a mess.
" You are so annoying ,Anna! ", Eight year old ,Emma puffed in anger.
Hazel who was busy in her phone , suddenly caught their attention .
Passing a mischievous look to each other , a wicked smile appeared on their faces." Hazel.." , Both said in unison.
" Uhh, hmm " , Hazel who was busy in scrutinizing her phone,averted her gaze to them .
"What.. ! ",Hazel asked with a blanked look, unaware from the naughty plan , that was dancing in their brains.
"No..." ,Hazel craved to run from them .
Anna and Emma start to take steps towards her , with a playful grin plastered on their faces.
" You naughty girls , no don't " , Hazel warned them , wiggling her finger in the air.
After caging Hazel in between them , Emma and Anna , tickled her stomach until she was hell tired from laughing .
Their titter reverberated in the whole house. ........
At night, her mobile vibrated with an arrival of a reply from the same unknown ID , " Ryan ".
" But ,why would he message me from an unknown Id ? ", she mumbled, as the curiosity was crawling on her nerves .
With an utter confusion muddling her head , she tried to call Ryan several times , but on every ring she met with the same lines of the operator " the number you have been trying to reach is powered off ".
Eventually she gave up , and with a tired grunt , after eating her pill ,she deposited herself on her soft bed , at last . .........
Next, day she left the office feeling strange about ,Why didn't Ryan informed her in the car ,that he would again ask her to visit the house again.
At about 6'clock , she was on her way to her home, when her phone dinged with the same unfamiliar person and she pulled it from her bag.
" I'm waiting !I have a surprise for you ", She read the text in full concentration.
" Everything is fine , I am just overthinking this " , Hazel closed her eyes and relaxed her tensed muscles.
Perhaps, Anna was right , she is indeed a master of overthinking! , she composed her horror's and continued to plod to her doorway.
She was quick to brush off her misspend dawdlings ,telling herself it was just another surprise by Ryan.
" I'll be there in two hours " she typed him back .
.......
Rather the house was quiet ,she felt the silence as she entered inside.Anna and Emma had gone to shopping , she reminded herself.
She slipped her dress ,and locked the door behind her. Taking her bath, that had made her exhausted body freshened, she dressed herself in to a off-white loose pullover , with black jeans adorned her legs.
She twisted her brown locks in to a bun and snaked a plaid scarf around her neck.
She paced down the stairs and reaching on the road , she noticed one thing -the calm road which was silent and hushed, overwhelming her with the sensations of some fears.
She called the taxi and held her arms tightly , as the cold breeze was sweeping her body.
Her sixth- sense was roaring at her, that something strange, a mysterious is waiting for her.
The answer to her turmoil is , that If someone is worthy of winning the award of over scrutinizing ,goes to none other than Hazel Blackwell.
After 15 minutes , her wait was over , as the Cab stopped infront of her new residence .After explaining the location and giving him the address , she sprunged into the car.
...
Her fate was destined to play a game with her that she was not aware of.
She had've prayed to run away from this luck!
But Perhaps ,as always, her pleas will remain unfulfilled!
As, the Cab halted infront of her new residence, she payed to the driver , and climbed out of the car. The glowing lights which were visible , from the window, made her sure , that Ryan was inside waiting for her.
Stepping on the stairs, her hand was on the door knob, when she felt her heart beat thumping. She tucked her brown lock behind her ear, growing nervous once again.
"It is the not the first time ,that I'm meeting him, then why I am so tensed ", she chuckled tensely and unlatched the door .
She peeked through all the interior of the house , there was no one . Except, for the glow of bulb in the lounge, three rooms were closed.
She heard a sound of something breaking from the upper floor.
"Ryan !... ", Are you upstairs ? " , Hazel called him and accelerated her steps towards , the stairs.
When her foot was on the second step, suddenly the lights went out, making her to stop on her way. With a thud, the locking of the door travelled into her ear.
The sound of the door closing, sounded like the upcoming fate of her life.
Every muscle of her face was now shuddering from fear , but there was a hope in her heart , that Ryan must be scaring her.
Moonlight ,slid in from the glass of the french doors.
" Ryan ?", she spoke, in a whisper , and gulped her saliva , due to the terror.
" Ryan ", she again shouted his name, but to her dismay, the thing she got back was only silence.
" What is going on? ", she mumbled.
Encouraging herself, she pulled herself near the french door, from where the rays of moon were slanted in.
Now, the moon was her only hope.
But sometimes the ray that man mistaken for the light of his life, proves to be a beginning of his worst nightmare.
She tried hard to open the french door, but it was also locked.
" Welcome , Hazel ", she heard a thick voice behind her.
The voice was unfamiliar, her conscience told her. It was not Ryan, the revelation that she hated at that time.
Before, she could spin her head to see the person , her waist was gripped by him.
"Who..are you ? ", sensing the coming terror, she uttered in a mere whisper.
But, he didn't answer , jerking her on the wall , he caged her between his callous arms.
Due to darkness, his all features were hidden. His scent was fanning her neck, unable to realize what was going on, her limbs were getting numb . Skin filled with tensed sweats ,Hazel concentrated on taking deep breaths.
The memories of her betrayal triggered in his mind.
" Leave...leave me ..", she shouted with all her might.He came closer near her lips, ignoring her wailings.
Jerking her hairs into a tight fist , " You are going to be doomed,Tesoro !" , he seethed before, clamming his lips with tender one's.
She would pay for the sins she have committed.
The kiss was forceful!
It was all about betrayal,hurt and an infinite pain.
Under the shadows ,her breathe became ragged and unsteady, it became hard for her to clutch her back against the wall.Fearful and terrified she planted both her hands on his torso to pull him away , but it was all futile.The more she retaliate against him, the more he was determined to make her suffer.With a hard tug, he fisted her hairs into hard grip ,and pulled her back harshly, giving no more time to her to move herself away.She denied to give him access to her mouth, but he_who was a ruthless man ,very well knew how to make people bow infront of him.He seethed in anger, and pinched her waist to pull her closer to him.He bit her lower lip, but she being a stubborn self, even because of his tactic, she sealed her mouth like a glue.Tears were started to brim on her lashes, but she blinked them back. She didn't want this devil, to know how weak and drained she felt.Two souls were entangled with each other, whether forcefully or
Instead of gasping in relief, that the danger was gone, she was engaged with an another feeling_ an utter grief.Like , the door was sealed, she felt like the two worlds were apart_piercing an unbearable pain flowing in her body , it was the same feeling that she was struck with, years ago, when her spirit departed from him.It was the same pain, she tasted_the very alike suffering sensation that she loathed at that time the most.Her whole body, including her restless soul, was twined with hurt and lost_strayed in the depth of his words.Still dived in speculating , Why a stranger voice would hold such a deep venom hatred for her!, her legs went limp_devoid of any power to glue her feet on the ground , and abutting her back with the wall, her nerves were haunted and her wholeintellect was lost in his poisonous words.A moment later, the cloud of darkness dissappeared ,and in a reflex she crossed
" Thank God! ,you wake up!",Anna released a breath of solace and her tensed brows eased a little."Ahh !, Anna..I .. " , A piercing pain shot through Hazel's head, and she sat up ,holding her forehead with her left hand.Her world were still blurry and her headache had still didn't left her.A memory of her getting unconsious passed through Hazel's mind and she asked Anna curtly ",I got blacked out.., at Times square ? ", Hazel inquired her in a low voice.Anna who was leaning against the headboard of the bed, sniffed her nose and replied simply in" yes .." .Hazel paused, and looked at Anna, oblviously realizing that she had made Anna hell worried.Hazel cleared her dry throat, to say something, but felt she had nothing to say, her tongue was sealed by some unknown fears.Her senses were benumbed and her mind took a ride of the reminiscence of her seeing Hayden after so many months and on the event whe
Her thumping heart, had recognized his thick voice, he was the same man who abducted her in that house.He came finally, to complete his sinful deeds as he promised her. His voice was same menacing and full of threats ;enough to form a void in her heart that he would give her no chance to escape from his clutch.His face was covered by a black mask that covered his nose and forehead." Anna..,What have you done to her ?,Anna ", her audacity to stop him from entering in, flew into the air, at the mere mention of Anna. " Where is she ? ,Tell me ,Have you done something to her ..."she stammered , while her legs wobbled with a fear of loosing Anna."Tell me you devil...", she was yelling, and the tears of helplessness was ready to take a road down her lashes.She remembered how ruthless he was with her, images of something ominous happening to Anna, triggered her brain."Tell me ..?", She voiced out with the hatred as
Sensing herself together with him, her pulse went abnormal. But, she didn't reply and kept wriggling to get away from his clasp." Leave her, please..She is innocent ..", she pleaded, with a pearl like tears pouring out from the corner from of her eyes. But, being the devil he was, his barbaric hand pushed her back harshly to his front and snaked his callous arm around her waist. Placing his jaw on the crook of her neck, he commanded gravely, " Catch her!". Sensing the danger, Hazel shrieked as hard she could , her heart beat was at unease and she twisted her hand continously. She saw the same sturdy man approaching Anna, and twisting her hand behind her back mercilessly. He tightened his deathly grip on Anna's arms , and her struggle was futile. Hazel's screams echoed throughout the place as she tried hard just go to Anna's side. "You're so vicious, Hazel! Aren't afraid to loose your only family ?" He hummed dangerously close to her ears, and roamed his nose on her b
Hazel sat into the dark room totally disregarded about her own miserable and pathetic condition.Due to his previous beats ,her face was swollen and red. Her ears were ringing, but this pain was so small infront of the deep wound he had seeped into her bones.The stinging ache on her red cheeks was nothing as compared to the bitter reality of not seeing her sisters again.Along with the throbbing pain in her mind, the shouting voices of Anna and Emma imploring ,"Hazel don't go ", resounded , like a heart-wrenching voices that made her vulnerable and making her more numb and dopey. The ringing kept on for a long time, wrapping her ear drums she cried to herself " I ...am failed. ".She failed to protect her Anna and Emma. Now ,What is the use of living? If rather to ignore his warnings , she should've followed him silently , and like an obedient girl, she should've said "yes" to his every command, then Anna and Emma wouldn't have got murdered by those
Turning the light's on , the room lit up , and his gaze fell on the person on the marble floor.Her spark out body was Turning the light's on , the room lit up , and his gaze fell on the person on the marble floor.Her spark out body was knocked down on the ground, lying like a rag doll. A dart of complex emotions overwhelmed him, and without delaying further ,he cradled her , and then settled her on the bed.His azure stare was scrutinizing her petite unconsious form gravely, trying his every sense to read her face.If only Hazel,wouldn't have deceived him_wrecked their dreamland, if only they wouldn't have met like this. If only she hadn't betray him and moreover murdered the only hope of his living.Then, Maybe..He would've not put her in this situation...After laying her on the cozy mattress, he was about to back up, when he felt her hands grasping his collar tightly.He tugged her hand away , like it wa
At midnight ,due to the throbbing pain in her brain , she fluttered her eyes open. Viewing her surroundings with her heavy eyelids ;she was stiff in the void of agony , it was still dark , exactly like her life.A sudden wave of incidents hit her sanity , and she was stiffened on the bed.The waves of memories getting nearly raped , rushed in her mind like a horrible tornado."No, it was all lie ".She touched her body , apart from the aching in her head , she was alright. A gasp of solace, passed her lips and her tensed muscles relaxed.Her body was feeling low and heavy , her eyesight was dim and blurry. Instantly ,she sat up and put her hand on her heart," Anna , Emma ", tears of helplessness gushed down her cheeks, wetting the fabric of her chest.Her soul felt restless , her mind was triggering with the flashes of Anna and Emma getting shot." Hazel , you are a curse , it is better if you leave!", a past voice hit her mind again." Hazel ,she was right , you are a just a bad omen
