" Finally, you are here our queen. We have waited for you so long my queen"
It whispered to her. Eowyn looked at the dark shadow.
" Qu..ee..n" I am not a queen. I am just an ordin..ary gi..rl" Eowyn was really afraid. She thought that it was her another nightmare only. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then ,she slowly opened her eyes.
" Damn it, it's still here. Why isn't it going???" 'It's not a dream. It's real..'
She saw more and more shadows approaching her. All of them bowed in front of her ." Please forgive us. We betrayed you our Queen . He tricked us to do that.".
' What the hell are they talking about??? Who betrayed??? who tricked them??? Why they keep on calling me Queen??? I thought that these stories of ghosts are not real. It seemed that the ghosts are real. I was wrong. Who will save me???? I must be in that dark forest. Wait a moment; it's real.. ' Her thoughts ran wildly.
She wanted to run away. But, there was a terrible pain coming out from her right ankle.Her right ankle was injured. She felt sore all over her body. So, there was no other options left for her other than facing those scary shadows. She tried to be courageous infront of them. But, in real, Eowyn was turned pale due to the fear. Her heart beat fast.
" Please calm down Queen .We were your knights before. . we made a grave mistake by not trusting your intention during that time. Give us a last chance to correct our mistakes" After saying this the shadow transformed into a man . She saw him with eyes wide open " What the hell happened just now??? The person looked like a warrior from ancient era. He bowed again. " My queen, please forgive us" He knelt down and apologized .
" Please ge..t u..p , I am not your queen. You people had a big misunderstanding. Spare me from this nonsense."
" I will prove that you are our queen"Suddenly, he shot an arrow to Eowyn. She dodged it easily as if she knew how to fight it. She held that arrow with one hand and shot back it .He smiled triumphantly.
" A good warrioress only can do such a thing, my queen. But, the most painful truth that you have completely forgotten yourself , your existence , your tremendous power. You are the true bloodline and descendent of our great witch queen".
Eowyn eyes were exuding a blue light. But, she wasn't aware of that.
" He is here. It can't be . How did he come back. He will destroy us . " She heard their anxious whispers. They began to disappear as if they were running for their life.
" Who???" Eowyn asked loudly..But nobody was there. In the a blink of an eye, everything disappeared, including that man.
'Was it real???' She fainted again.
At the same time, David was looking down to the spot, where Eowyn had fallen.
' It's not a good sign after all . May be this was a trick of those traitors. They want a redemption after all and she fell down to that place, where the dark forest existed. Luckily, it changes its position every time . So, she may not be in the dark forest now' thought David.
' But, if she is in other place of the forest, she might be in danger..If anything happens to her my all plans will be ruined. I can't let that happen at any cost.'
His thought was interrupted by a sudden loud sound of a helicopter. As the helicopter descended, the cabin door opened and a rope was thrown down. The group of students ,stared blankly ahead as the handsome man jumped out and climbed down the rope. When he touched the ground and turned around, everyone's jaw fell open in surprise. It was Ric..
Oh ! my god! It's our senior Ricson. Ric didn't pay attention to the whispers, but saw a familiar face. It was David .
' How did he know'??? Their gaze met each other.
As soon as he saw, his rival in love , David's face darkened.
Ric ignored him and went towards Stephy, who was still crying. " Stephy, is this the spot, where you heard her scream?? He looked down and saw it's depth ,which was infinite . His heart skipped a beat.
" Yes Ric it's the same spot. We were having rest at that time. I really don't know, when she went to this side. After that, I heard her scream. We rushed here, but it was already late..My.. Enny... Will she be ok Ric?? I am the one who insisted to come here. It's all my fault .I don't want to live" She said in between her sobs. Then, she ran towards the cliff and tried to jump from that.
Ric caught her. " Stop crying Stephy.Please calm down. She will be ok. Nothing will happen to her. I will bring her back safely".
She was really happy after she got a chance to be intimate with Ric. But, after hearing his words , her happiness disappeared. Ric didn't notice this. But, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of a cunning man; David. He noticed her sudden change in expression,even though it happened so fast.
' I knew it, you had something to do with this .Amanda, you are really a scheming woman, I will make you spit out the truth by my methods. You and whoever you are helping will regret. Till that time , you continue your act of a being good friend' thought David.
" Nik, Please take care of Stephy." Said Ric
Then only, she realised the presence of Nikson. she ran towards him with full of tears. Nikson held her and comforted her.
Rhea saw the entire scene.
' What the fu*k?? Why Ric always think about that bitch?? and this Stephy; is also like the same. One seduced my brother and other seduced my cousin.' Rhea thought to herself.
Ric noticed Rhea and waved his hands.
" What are you doing here???"
" Brother, I am really so..rry. It was my idea to go for a trip .But, even in my dreams ,I never thought about that something will be happen like this".
" So it was your idea after all. Then tell me Rhea, Why did you choose the southern part of the mountain. Didn't you know that, it was too risky??"
" Brother....I.... I..." She was at the verge of crying. " I thought that it would be adventurous" Ric was furious after hearing her answer. He wanted to slap her really hard but somehow he controlled himself.
' It's not the right time to be reckless. I have to save Eowyn first'
' Why brother always scold me?? Didn't he know that how much I love him. I really pray that the bitch Eowyn will be no more and some wild animals may eat her alive so that there won't be any part of her body for a proper funeral'
" Shut up Rhea. Remember that ,If anything happens to her you will be the only person responsible for that". said Nikson in an angry tone.
Ric turned to Nik " Give me the rope. Tie it into that tree. It seemed strong." said Ric
Then he tied the other end on his waist and jumped down. His tall figure disappeared into the dense forest.
