Hell broke loose on Maya when she found out she is pregnant for three weeks now. How could that happen? What will she tell her foster parents? They will surely kill her. She burst into tears and her childhood friend Sumana is trying to console her.
"What should I do now?" Maya asks her friend in teary eyes.
Sumona has an idea. She is calm even in this situation. She suggests - "why don't you come to live with me in those months? My parents are in abroad. We will be all alone, so none will come to know about your condition."
Maya nods her head. She is out of any other option right now.
...
How it becomes Possible?
Maya is now sitting in front the cosy fire place of her friend's cottage. Till then she is searching for the right answer. She seems cool on face but restless from within. She is practically pulling her hairs to find out how it at all be possible.
Sumona is watching her intently. She knows the nature of her friend. She is quite panicky. She seems to lose her temper every now and then whenever she is searching an answer of some question in mind. She nods her head in disagreement. Maya has to learn to control her temper. At least for next nine months.
"I can't find out the answer, Sumi." Maya tells her friend and with frustration she throws a book nested on her lap just before this moment.
Sumona's concentration breaks with the loud "thud" sound of the dropping of the book. Without uttering any word she lifts the book from floor. It is their favorite novel on the adventures of Red Riding Hood. Now why the adventure style seems so familiar to Sumona all of the sudden?

Sudden Rememberance
With a jolt Sumona remembers their picnic night at the nearest hill of this cottage. They were all alone in the camp and at the midnight Maya disappeared. For 24 hours one could not find her out. When Sumona thought to inform her foster parents about this sudden mysterious disappearance, then she came back. In a distorted state. Her shirts are torn and pant with lots of blood and gore. Maya could not rember where she was the previous night or with whom. Till now she could not remember anything. That was three weeks before. Yes exactly three weeks before.
Looking calmly on her friend's eyes Sumona reveals the news - "I got the answer."
Maya is taken aback. She fails to understand what Sumona is indicating.
...
Revealing of Facts
When Sumona explains her thought to Maya then hell brokr loose on her. Could it be possible at all?
Maya could not remember a single thing happened on that night. How she spend the night all alone in the dark and gloomy forest, she does not know at all. Whenever she tried to reminiscence she felt a dizzy spell and bad headache. Her head suddenly spins and she falls down. Fortunately there is a high back chair behind her, so when she falls back, she just sits down on it.
Sumona runs towards her to save her, but fails to do so as Maya already sits down on the chair.
"Thank God, you are safe dear." Sumona tells her friend with a sigh. She pants hard. She was standing far end of this largest drawing room, so she has to run at least 20 feet from here. So her panting is quite natural.
"I can't believe Sumi that I got pregnant with some unknown stranger's child." Maya closes her eyes in broken heart.
"Don't loose hope, dear. Be positive." Sumona tries to make a joke.
"That I already am." Maya tells her with a small lifeless smile.

Unknown Stranger in Town
There was a strange rumor spreading the town. A descendent of the Barrington family comes back again in the town. He was so handsome that every girl got melted just by having a sight of him. The strange thing is that he never comes out in broad daylight, only after evening he comes out of his shelter and takes a toll on the roads. The passerbys says he has mesmering green eyes and oval face with double chin. His felt hat always cover his face partially. One girl named Shelly, a very mischievous one, fall on him and he just shoves her out of his road. He was since then known as arrogant too.
.....
Stranger In Room
Maya was not bothered about it any more. Her body is changing. Her belly is gowing ounce by ounce every day. She is clearly showing her baby bump nowadays that she wanted to hide from every praying eyes.
She breaks out from her thought by listening a strange sound on the windowpane. When she opens it, nobody was there. She closes it with a loud noise. Then turns back and freeze on the spot.
A deviloushly handsome man with pale fair complexion and green eyes standing in the middle of the room just some inch far from the fireplace.
She gasps in shock and asks him - "Who are you? How do you enter?"
He smiles and stretches his both of his hands towards her. She feels like she is in trance. She takes his hands. He pulls her gently towards him and hugs her tightly in his chest. She feels complete in the arms of this handsome stranger. But she manages to ask him "What to do you want?"
In a deep manly husky voice he answers "I am hungry. For you."
She feels the shiver run down her vein and goosebumps all over her body. He gently tugs her chin upward and kisses her. Suddenly everything except them does not exist for her anymore. She surrenders to his thrust.
The very next day when she awakes, she feels a sharp pain on her left neck. She sprints to the mirror like a crazy dog and what she saw there is unbelievable. Her left neck has two holes one after one.
