CHAPTER 5 - THE ACCIDENT
As time went on, one fateful winter evening, Natasha went out to get dinner in a Middle Eastern country when unexpectedly she was mugged and harassed, as she was walking along the curb to a nearby restaurant. Two men in masks attacked her and robbed her off her monies. as she was pushed to the ground by one of the men she hit her head on the side walk and developed a big gash and started bleeding profusely. They left her there to die and sped off into the darkness; after awhile she slipped into unconsciousness. when nearly an hour later a passerby heard some mournful cries, found her lying in a ditch and hurriedly got her into a taxi and took her to the National Hospital. Meanwhile he had managed to alert the local Police too. At the hospital she was given the drip and surgery had to be performed as their was an injury to her head. She was lying in a hospital bed when she came around. she felt dizzy and her head was throbbing. She slipped in and out of consciousness. Natasha then went into deep sleep and transgressed into dream world.
When she woke up she was in a meadow which stretched out for miles. It was a beautiful and picturesque valley with rows of daffodils and when she opened her eyes she found this pair of piercing blue eyes staring down at her. It was a young girl with rosy cheeks and golden locks with a gorgeous smile. Natasha wondered where she was and discovered she was in 18th Century England. Much to her bewilderment she could not remember any of the past incidents.
The young girl beckoned her to follow her, Natasha obediently got up and followed the girl with the golden locks to a stream of water close by with crystal clearwater gushing down from a waterfall. There was a couple of people bathing in the stream - you could hear the joyous laughter coming from their voices, as Natasha edged closer to the water she could see they were all naked, Natasha was feeling rather awkward but the young girl was eager to get Natasha into the water. So they stripped off their clothes and jumped into the cool waters. Natasha was ecstatic with the feel of the cool water caressing her body. She was elated with this new feeling of freedom; as she began inching her way towards the other people she was pretty sure she spotted a guy with Damien's dark looks, she felt a wave of excitement and thrill to see him there, immediately her mood changed as she discovered a person like Paul a little further away. What could these men have in common that they come together to bathe in same stream? Do they live in the same village? Are they friends? so many questions ran through Natasha's mind. She was quiet for a while and decided to get away from the crowd. She headed towards the waterfall and got under the spout of water which was falling down, all the while the girl with the piercing blue eyes and golden locks was beside her. The water tickled her body and she could feel her pulse raising with excitement, the girl was rather close to her and she could smell the essence of her hair oils and as they were bathing very close to each other their bodies accidently rubbed against each other and they could feel each others warmth. They were thrilled to be in each others company and enjoyed this glorious moment, Suddenly Natasha came to her senses and inched away. She swam towards the crowd of people searching for Damien, but he seemed to have finished his bath, she looked for Paul but he too was missing. Natasha decided to come out of the water and called out to the young girl. They came out of the stream and hurriedly put on their clothes and ran down the road to the village.
