"It was a dark night ,and the lightening was thundering, the window doors were slamming, the barking of dogs added to it ,it increased the horror of the girl who was crossing the alley , she wanted to cross the street quickly but suddenly a man from nowhere appeared in front of her , she screamed horrifyingly . . . . . " and then the librarian came in, to off all the lamps in ,but as usually Ellen was seating on her particular spot and immersed in novel's world without knowing about what was happening in her surrounding.
"Ellen! My child its time to close the library."
"Mrs. George!!! Why you always have to close the library when I am at the climax of the novel."
"Alright ,now get up and help me to sort the books". If your aunt knows that you daily came here to read these novels then ,( whispering) "You better know the results. "
"Unhhhh .. Mrs. George! Can you stop recalling these lines daily?" Bye! I am going. She put the books back in the rack and opened the door.
After leaving the library in anger ,she didn't expect this thing to happen...
A sudden thunder storm , lightning, barking of dogs all those scenes were happening ,Ellen was shocked and she started trembling with fear. And as soon as she reached at the turn of the street ,her heart was pounding . . . she wanted to scream but it seams like her voice was stuck in her throat...with a stroke of light a man ( wearing a black long hood } appears in front of her and the last thing which she saw was a knifeeee . . . . . . . . ..
And she fainted.
NEXT MORNING..
"Ellen! Ellen! Ellen! Uhh !this girl. I am fed up from her." ( shouting ) "Listen Mr. Stewart ,I am not tolerating this any more ,you better send her back"
"Good morning , Mr. Stewart", said Ellen .And pour him a cup of tea . Mrs. Stewart was in her full anger so no one talked back to her .Everyone (Mr. and Mrs. Stewart ,their two little twins (mike and peter)of age 6years along with Ellen (a young girl of 16 years )) all were having their breakfast when the door bell rings..
"Ellen! Go and look who is at the door", said Mrs. Stewart .
Ellen stood up and move towards the door to open it. She was not expecting to see Mr. Lee early in the morning. She greeted him. And close the door.
"Mr. Stewart ! Uncle Lee is here", said Ellen.
"Ah! Mr. Lee !is here." said Mrs. Stewart and with eye signals and with a smile she look at her husband .
Three of them went to lounge , and in a (whispering and curiosity tone ) she asked mike and peter that why uncle Lee is here.
Both of them looked at each other and nodded in YES , having bread in their mouth , "Well ,we didn't intend to hide it from you but ..'said mike slowly slowly..
"But? What?!" asked Ellen. Ellen was really curios to know.
"Uncle Lee is here for you, because you again fainted last night ,"replied peter.
"Wait ! What! I was fainted? But why?", asked Ellen in anxiety. Ellen was blank...
"How come we know?" mike and peter replied together.
Ellen went to her room and locked it . . . . . . .
She was feeling weak and clueless that where the actual problem is and what is the cure of it.
She knew that ,she has natural powers to immerse in a scene to feel its existence in reality and to go into someone's dream . But she can't remember it until others talked about it, and now she has to go through from that fear of that dreadful night again . . .
