They went inside the camp for a peaceful sleep, it was 22:00 hrs of night. They both closed their eyes hoping that they would find those people in this forest.
After a few minutes passed Vicky felt something strange inside his gut. So he woke up.
Feeling some sort of movement beside him, the professor also woke up.
"What happened," asked the professor.
"I think something is going around here," Vicky replied.
"Ok, let's get out and check, this is not an ordinary forest, the spirits around here are much more powerful because of the ambiance of this place that is cold and silent," said the professor.
They both got out of camp and took the torch with them. Professor also kept a heat sensor and ammeter to get readings of any spirit or unknown entity.
"Maybe we should split to check what is happening around," said Vicky.
"That's a bad idea when don't know who you are fighting then it is always a good choice to keep numbers on your side," said the professor.
Vicky again opened his compass to see where does compass pointed, earlier compass pointed towards the northwest when he thought of those people whom they both were searching for.
Now he was confused about what to think, so the compass should show him the direction. But the compass didn't point in any direction.
"Last time it showed north-west, so let's head towards the north-west," said Vicky.
"Ok," the professor nodded in agreement.
They began moving in the direction, waving here and there to look for anything strange. The professor also moved the ammeter and heat sense to locate any kind of energy.
After moving a few distances they started feeling cold.
"We have to be ultra alert now, I can sense the danger," said the professor.
Suddenly, the ammeter started giving stronger readings. The professor stopped then and there.
"Vicky wait, don't move," said the professor.
In the heat sensor, there was no reading but the ammeter was showing strong readings, which meant they have a spirit around here. The readings came from their particular direction.
Professor looked carefully and he was startled as he saw the witch.
The appearance of witches gave goosebumps to both.
She was floating above the ground, 9 inches of fingers on both hands to slough off the flesh from her victim, carnivore-pointed teeth popping outside the mouth from which blood was dripping down, and big-red eyes, instead of hairs she had tentacles moving back and fro.
"This is a night witch, she consumes the blood of her victim to survive. We can't defeat her but can push her away with fire, so we need to reach the campfire as soon as possible," said the professor
They began running towards the with full energy and the witch followed them as the predator follows his prey.
The witch reached close enough to both but attacked the professor with her sharp knife-like fingers.
Professor's shirt tore, and the sharp fingers penetrated his back, giving him a deep scratch over his back.
"AHHHH!," the professor screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Vicky while running looked back and saw the professor wounded fell on the ground. He stopped immediately.
The witch raised her hand to finally pierce the fingers into the professor's throat, to kill him.
Vicky looked around quickly and grabbed a piece of a wooden log and threw it toward the witch.
The witch deflected the log but this allowed the professor to move away from the witch. The professor moved away and hide behind a tree.
When the witch looked back, she found the professor escaped, this enraged her more.
Now she targeted Vicky and began chasing him.
Vicky ran with full energy, but she flew over him and stood right in front of Vicky.
She move her right hand to the left side and slapped Vicky forcefully.
Vicky's body raised in the air, his head whacked to the tree and he fell to the ground.
Now Vicky was half-conscious, he gained back his senses and saw the witch slowly progressing toward him, he was helpless, he didn't have the energy to stand up.
Then the mark from realm 0.5 on his right hand started glowing, Vicky looked at his glowing mark by raising his hand to his eye level.
At that time when his hand was in the air, he saw an arrow of blue light indicating upward appeared on the branch of a tree in front of his hand.
Vicky didn't know what to do, but some gut feeling of Vicky enlightened him to close his fingers to form a fist.
As soon as Vicky did the same, the world around Vicky started shaking, then he released his fist,
suddenly Vicky disappeared from that position and appeared at a branch of a tree.
An anonymous voice whispered in Vicky's ears
"Well done, you learn a new power known as BLINK"
While Vicky was sitting on the branch he saw the witch was unable to grab him and she began looking around for Vicky.
Meanwhile, she saw the professor, so she moved toward him.
Vicky was looking at all the scenarios. He realised that he had some kind of power that teleported him to the branch, but this power has a limitation, in that it works within a small distance.
Vicky saw the witch slowly progressing towards the professor. He again raised his hand in the direction of the professor, and saw a downward blue arrow, he again closed his fingers to make a fist, and the world around started shaking, when he released the fist. He disappeared from the branch and appeared at the professor.
When he suddenly appeared near the professor, the professor was shocked.
" Professor no time to explain, we need to reach the campfire," said Vicky.
Vicky quickly grabbed the professor's hand and aimed toward a far distance from the witch.
Again he saw an upward arrow appearing in front of his retina and they blinked together to that position.
The witch is unable to figure out where the two disappeared. Then she looked back and again chased them.
Vicky used his blink power to quickly reach the campfire, but when they reached the location they found no fire at the position.
Then they thought of lighting the fire again, the professor searched for a lighter in his pockets but was unable to find it, maybe the lighter just fell off his pocket while sprinting away from the witch.
The witch found them and she again attacked the professor but her attack was blocked by an arrow made of light.
She screamed as that arrow burnt her arm. Then she saw more light arrows coming towards her, she deflected a few and a few stuck inside her.
She tried to escape but the arrows came from all directions and pierced inside her body.
Vicky and the professor moved away from her,
the witch screamed and her body burnt down to the ashes.
They both were unable to figure out what happened, and who killed the witch, and then they both heard the voice.
"Who are you and why are you here,".
