The story

Ayesha walked on without a sense of perplexity, her mind clouding as her feet could no longer feel the damp tiles. The gravity dropped and Ayesha started elevating, her body devoid of any control. The dark masses caught on to the fabrics of the cloth she wore, as they moved her upwards. The frame of the woman started to flip backwards, as her hand swayed in the empty space. Ayi turned out to be floating upside down, prior to how she entered. Her legs were pulled from the other side, as gravity slowly sucked her whole in. The force of attraction instigated the throbbing on her forehead as she closed her eyes, allowing the sequence to play out. A bright light emanated and Ayesha slipped into the void.

" ROOHI, WAKE UP...HEY WAKE UP"

Ayesha jolted upright to a concerned man, kneeling next to her. Blinking her eyes, the woman shook her head to get out of the tripping phase. The cloth on her felt foreign. As she glimpsed on to her lap, a bright red gown clinging onto her figure, shined under the afternoon sunlight. Ayi turned to face him and was instantly transfixed by his eyes. Those eyes. The man in turn snapped his fingers.

" Hey you okay?"

Ayesha reached her hand out, stroking his left cheek.

" You....Your real..." The pretty eyes quickly narrowed.

" We gotta get out of here. They are on their way"

" Who..."

The man now seemed more concerned than before. He instantly lifted the girl by her arm and helped her towards the horse. She was still wobbling her head as the man hustled to get on the horse. A loud gunshot resonated through the forest. Without wasting any more time, he clicked his tongue, signaling the animal to get them out of there. Ayesha held on to the man's robe as they sped through the thicket. The soldiers chased the speeding horse , shrouded between the leaves. Fortunately, the uncertainty of the shots helped them flee faster than they had expected.

Long brown hair danced in the wind, as the horse continued on its path. Arching her back, the sun fell on to her delicate oval shaped face as she closed her eyes, feeling the moment. Peace. The gunshots or the soldiers didn't bother her at the moment. Peace. The stranger noticed the loosening of grip around him. She was letting go. He clutched onto her hand right away, forcing her to catch on.

" Wh-what are you...doing...HOLD.." The man kept grunting, trying his best to maintain the balance.

" I...remember..." Her words faded into the wind.

" WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU" the man held on to the ropes tightly as his right hand grasped hers.

" I...know who I----" before she could finish, a bright light flashed right into her eyes as her body flopped on to the rider.
