Chapter 6 - On the Rescue

Naomi was still asleep, so it is still unclear what's going on in her head. On the other side, the party was going on fine. The performances were over and now the last contest that is the modeling contest was to take place. From the results of this last contest, the winners for Mr. and Miss. Freshers were to be chosen. The modeling contest started which was being judged by the seniors. So many students took part in this contest, it was a long way to go. Amanda was also in this modeling contest but the mysterious guy wasn't, he hadn't taken part. He was present in the party sitting at the back watching the performances. He looked around, maybe he was looking for Naomi but she was not there. All the contestants were on stage as they were called on stage to gather there. They were then given badges on which their serial numbers were written.

" You have to pin those badges and have to stand at the back and down the stage in that serial order and then you will come one by one for walking on the stage" instructed one of the seniors from the judging panel.

The first round started and the show went on, after some of the contestants Amanda came on stage, it was her turn to perform. She did really well. All the contestants had done and the first round was over. After five minutes, half of the contestants were selected to go ahead, Amanda's number was also announced for the second round. The participants of second-round were very delighted and others cheered for them. The second round was performance round where they were to perform something. Amanda wished if Naomi were also there but she can't see her anywhere. She hadn't come yet from the room.

At the room-

Naomi got out of her dream and a huge sigh sound came out of her mouth and she really had a bad dream. This time she had really seen something which was about to happen and it was not good at all. She hurried out and quickly locked the room and went out towards the party venue.

Meanwhile, at the party, it was second round and the performances were going on, Amanda's turn was yet to come.

Naomi reached the Viena building where the fresher's party was going on and she stood outside the main entrance and recalled her dream. She was recalling her dream to know at what place that incidence was going to happen. She remembered the people in her dream were standing at a place behind which a red-colored building could be seen and a black Audi Q5 standing in front of it. Now her next task was to locate that place so that she is able to stop any mishappening. She looked around but there was no red building. She tried to recall if she had ever seen a red building while exploring the campus but she hadn't. So, that place must be at the farther end where she hadn't gone yet. The campus was huge, she started by going around this building where the party was going on and then going behind it to get a look afar. She went around the building and suddenly she started to see red bricks. She walked some more steps and there it was, The RED BUILDING, yes she found it, it was just behind the Viena building, where the party was. The Audi was there as well, just in front of the red building. Then she tried to figure out the exact place of the incidence which was to happen. "Could be somewhere around there" she said, but no one was there which means that the incidence was yet to happen or had that happened already? She quickly went towards the front to go inside the hall where the party was, and entered the hall and looked around for any clues. She looked at someone and then made a sigh of relief. "So, there he is, THE VICTIM", she exclaimed while remembering his face which she had seen in her dream. "That means the incidence is yet to happen, alright," she said to herself.

Suddenly, she heard Amanda's name, it was Amanda's turn to give her performance. Amanda came on stage. Naomi looked at her, "oh, I forgot, Amanda has taken part in modeling", Naomi waved at her and hooted for her performance. Amanda saw her and smiled. She told the judges that she will perform the solo dance and her performance started. She gave a fabulous dance performance. It was a 2 min performance as they were instructed not to exceed the performance time more than that. The song stopped and her performance was over. Naomi and everyone clapped and cheered for her.

All of a sudden, Naomi remembered she had to reach the place where the incidence was going to happen which she had seen in her dream. She looked around for the boy but he was not there. Naomi rushed towards the food counter, she looked at the guy (whom she danced with) who was standing there and walked past her. At the counter, Naomi asked for a water bottle, got the water bottle and rushed outside. She ran and exited the hall and went out and round the building.

What had Naomi seen in her dream? The dream that Naomi had seen or which was happening now or would have happened already till Naomi will reach there is as ahead.

There are three boys standing behind the Viena building, behind them is the Red building, two boys standing together facing the third boy.

"We told you to come in our room, Why didn't you?" said one boy.

"I was not feeling well," said the third boy

"Think you are cleverer than us," said the second boy

"No, I was seriously ill", a trembling voice came.

"We will see you," said one of them

They took out something from their pocket. It was a bottle, in that a liquid was there.

"Let's just have fun, after this we will not bother you", said one and they laughed.

This made the third guy tremble more. The first boy took out a lighter from his pocket.

"This is a lighter, put your arm on the flame of lighter"

"What! this will burn my arm, I will have severe injuries"

"Coward, ok take this liquid and apply it on your arm and then lit the lighter on your arm," said the one guy

" Don't be afraid, this is fire retardent gel, haven't you seen stuntmen doing stunts using fire?" said the other.

"Yes, this gel will not let you get burnt, this is just for fun, don't act like a cry baby"

"No I will not, I will report you to the authorities"

"What? you coward, you will complain against us, now we won't leave you, apply this gel otherwise you will not be able to stand on your legs"

"And if you told someone you will be lying in this college morgue, and we are not joking"

The boy took the gel and applied it on a small portion of his arm. Then, he took the lighter and lit it.

He took it towards his arm and the gel caught fire.

"Ah! it's burning he said"

He was about to shout but they went behind him quickly and covered his mouth with their hand.

"Hey, you coward! the fire is just at a small place, nothing will happen" and started laughing.

Naomi had reached there by that time, she ran towards the boy and reached near the boy. She put off the fire using the water in the bottle she took from the counter. Seeing her the two boys left his mouth and moved a little backward with shocks. Naomi gave the bottle to the boy and confronted those two evil guys.

" Are you people mad, this smell is of spirit which you gave him saying it is a fire retardant, this would have seriously burnt him, what fun you are finding in this? you two demons!"

"The two boys suddenly recoiled and tried to take over Naomi"

"You told her about this, we told you not to tell anyone", they said to the boy.

"No, he hasn't, talk to me, you morons"

"Don't act clever, and don't come between us otherwise you have to pay for it, what you think of yourself?", they said.

"You will not be spared, this will go to the heads," said Naomi.

"You will complain about us, now you will see, you both will not be able to speak any more, how will you complain then"

"Don't think I am lesser and I will be afraid of you"

The Guy (main Lead) came there out of blues, all of a sudden. Looking at him coming nearer, the two got really scared and tried to run.

"Hey what's going on here"

"Nothing, we were just talking to this boy and she came in between, we don't know what she wants, you can ask the boy"

They looked at the boy trying to take him in confidence.

"What? you just burned the ", Naomi stopped in between by the Guy. He gestured to her let me handle them.

" Oh Really!, you think I will believe it" said the Guy.

"Sorry Bro, We are getting late for some work, we have to go" and they ran from there without thinking a second and looking behind.
