Chapter 11 - THE DREADED DUSK

Lana went home and freshened up. Then, she went to her new office. She returned around 7:30pm after her class with Alec and went straight to bed. She was too tired to complete her work and wad restless from her previous night. She was sleeping peacefully when her mom entered the room. She saw Lana sleeping like a baby and awed. Her mother changed and washed her clothes and even packed her bag. Then she gave Lana numerous pecks all over her face.

The next day, she woke up and did her morning routine. Then, she went to school. The next week was a blur and passed by really quick. Everything was perfect and normal. She felt like a normal high school girl who had nothing to worry about. On sunday, she and her mom made pizza at home and singed and danced till late night. After partying for almost what felt like a lifetime, Lana went to bed as she had school next day. She was totally unaware as to what the dusk might bring with it.

"Light it up like dynamite...woah.." Lana's alarm went off. She woke up and saw the time. It was 5 in the morning. She had set an alarm of an hour early as she had pending homework because of last night's party. She stretched and got up. She washed her face and came back, immediately sitting down to complete the work. She was quite refreshed and hence was able to complete all her work by 5:45. She then decided to stroll in the mini garden for a while.

She came downstairs and went outside. She was immediately greeted by the morning wind. She took off her slippers and started walking on the grass bare feet. Her mind was calmed and relaxed. She was thanking god for putting her out of her earlier miserable life while simultaneously enjoying the weather. The chirping of birds was music to her ears. She was giggling and sighing time to time, feeling all her emotions one after another.
