Chereads / I'll hold on to you. / Chapter 2 - Chapter one.

Chapter 2 - Chapter one.

With the dawn, thunders thrills my heart. All I hear are sounds of screams of terrors. With fear they run. They run here and there.

Hungry demons, chewing people to satisfy their hunger. The blood dripping from their tusks pounds with fear. People with armour suits try to protect with magic and and shields.

Their hands are stretched, trying to balance the barriers between them and us. It's of no use. They can surpass it. With heavy and scared hearts and shivering legs, I see them run. I can't help anyone neither myself nor them.

We are like the size of lilliputians.

Destruction has come.

Water leaves my eyes, I feel their heavy weight on my cheeks. They slowly drop down.

Once was heaven, this land now a hell.

I felt a huge palm grabbing my waist. It tightens.

I wake up, grabs the jug kept on the side table of the bed and pours as much water in my mouth as much its able to hold, still some water overflows.

It's not the very first time I dreamt this, yet it scares me every day.

Sometimes, it's like I'm a mystery to myself.

I don't even know why I am studying in this college.

I have forgotten my past. I remember my life since a day in college. I usually have appointments with Dr. Darren. He keeps telling me nothing's wrong, it's just because of some accident that I lost my memory. Although I trust him, still I don't feel like trusting his words.

Anyhow I have to attend classes.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

'Hey! Serina, how are you?' Asks Riley. She's one of my two best friends and loves bunk classes. Through the life I remember, they seem to be the best people I have yet met. The other one is Bailey. She seems to be the serious one, only towards studies.

'Yeah, I suppose.'

'Well, It's fine if you are attending now. Let's skip the last two. I need to go shopping.' She replies.

Shopping is always okay only in a mall.

'Not sure about, if I want to go. Did asked Bailey about it?'

'If you agree, I can convince her. She can't disagree both of us.'

'Ummmm'

'I know a nice mall with good brands.' She says while smiling. Raises her eyebrows twice.

'Okay.' I agree.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

We usually have 7 classes per day. Fifth class just ended. After a battle between Riley and Bailey we ended up sneaking around the play grounds and finding the back  gate closed.

'It used to be open!' Riley exclaims and then sighs heavily.

'Did you closed it?' She asks pointing at Bailey.

'How can I possibly do that!' Bailey replies being irritated.

'Calm down. Let's check the main gate.'  I suggest.

'Good idea. If there  are no guards we can possibly run.'

'Run?!' Bailey exclaims.

We sneak around and fortunately find the main gate open with no guards. We started to walk slowly yet in a steady rate to reach the gate.

'Hey girls! Where are you going?' Some professor from behind screams.

'Run towards the gate!' Riley exclaims. We start to run.

'Hide your faces with you bags.' I suggest. Now that we have started to run, we can't get caught, that will be dangerous.

We hold our bags above our heads and run as fast as we can.

'Girls! Stop!'

As we continue to run we finally reach out side the college. Still yet we are inside the campus.

'I am not going to forgive you if he recognizes us.' Says Bailey.

Riley and I laugh.

We simply walk out of the campus.

Take a cab and we are off to the mall.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

We reach the mall.

We roam around the shops.

Denim jeans, stylish dresses all sorts of clothes stocked up. My favourite types are those classic plain dresses. I love them.

'I need to buy a gift for my brother's birthday. I'll be in the Male's clothing section. You both shop, I 'll be back' says Riley.

I check some dresses trying to find a good one.

All are kind of same. I don't seem to like any.

I walk around and keep sliding hangers.

Umm. They don't seem to have a good variety for some nice dresses.

'Hello, Are you Miss Serina ?' I hear a voice, I turn. I see a man in a black pant and a white shirt. He's holding a white plain dress, quite classical  in his palms

'Yes.'

'I think this dress will look good on you.' He says.

The fabric seems quite good. That dress is really kind of my choice. With gold lace bordered, it's amazing.

Wait. Who is he?

His eyes are grass green.

Someone pats my hair from behind. 'Forget what is happening, escape. Do come to rescue. I need you' .

My head aches. What did I just hear⁰? Whom did I hear?

'Miss, are you alright? Don't you like these kind of dresses?' He says. His voice sound exactly like that man's, whom I just heard.

Ah! It's so frustrating.

'How do you know?' I ask in a bit angry manner.

'Haven't we shopped together.' He whispers

What?

I ignore and turn. I do like that dress though.

'Excuse me...' I turn. He's not there. I look around, I can't see a trace of him.

Did he just disappear in a matter of seconds?
