MIDNIGHT RIDER PART 7

She was in a familiar place.The rusted joints rankled loudly,owing to the swishing wind-piercing the omnipresent silence.The trees swayed eerily,nightfall making them as enigmatic as they were ghastly.The stream constantly struck the pebbles,as it slinked beneath,adorned with the silvery reflection of the moon,which enchanted her.

''I knew you would come.''hissed an ancient ,cold voice as if the Earth herself yielded those words.

She turned around but there was no living soul whatsoever.

''I'll take you too.''It seemed that the wind itself was the carrier of that disembodied voice.

''I'll avenge.''It was almost a whisper.

She was being sucked ,pushed into an abyss,incapacitated against invisible cords.She thrashed with, yet strangely couldn't move a muscle,not even to blink.

''I shall have my revenge.''the billowing wind whispered,buffeting her like a rag doll.She couldn't breath,something was chocking her,blocking her mouth and nose....

''Ahhh..''Roha sat up on her bed with a startled gasp.She looked around groggily for her attacker only to find herself in the hotel room.

                                                                                          Moon was sifting through the bay windows,dancing on the carpeted floor,even as millions of stars winked at her merrily.

                 She cussed her subconscious for dredging the tale up,yet howsoever hard she tried to pacify herself,she couldn't get rid of that annoyingly persistent premonition. 

Thoroughly ,she put on her ear phone,concentrating with every fiber on each note.The exercise succeeded as the soft song soothed her frayed nerves like a lullaby.Soon she fell into a peaceful slumber.
