MIDNIGHT RIDER PART 15

She sliced headlong through the surface of the  freezing water and then plunged deeper.She struggled to swim upwards but the icy water benumbed her.The rhythmic current tossed her around like a rag doll.Her lungs felt heavy and her body ached.She couldn't reach the surface of the stream.

                                                                                                  Suddenly something slammed hard against her making her breath come out in bubbles.Immediately she was snared securely.She was pulled away deeper and deeper away from the surface and she knew she was about to die......

Roha woke up feeling so warm and sleepy that she didn't want to open her eyes,wanting to drop off again.

''When will she come round?''She heard Kyra's hushed voice.She sounded like she had very bad cold.

''Who knows?Hopefully in a few.''Amish whispered anxiously.

She slowly opened her eyes and blinked in the dim light that flooded the room.She was immediately greeted by fervently relieved exclaimations.

''Ro!''

Roha slowly sat up with the help of Amish and Kyra.

''How are you feeling?''Kyra demanded concernedly.

''I'm fine guys. Chill!''

''Chill!!Do you know how worried we were?What was the need to go that near the edge?You know what,you are worst than toddlers,even they can take better care of themselves.What if something had happened to you?''

 

''Ami,I didn't fall on my own.''she hesitated and then dropped the bomb.

''Someone pushed me off the edge.''

''What!''Her revelation rendered Amish and Kyra  horrorstruck and appalled.

''S...someone tried to kill you!''Kyra looked aghast.

''Did you see his face?''Amish asked sharply.

''No..I didn't but whosoever he was,he was pretty strong and agile.Quite like a body-builder and at least 6 ft. tall.''

''Who could it be?I mean its so strange!We don't even know anyone that well here to inspire that kind of animosity?''Kyra shuddered.

''Except there are people who could be  behind this.Those goons.''Amish said darkly.

''But we didn't even go prying again!''

''But I did!''Roha interjected.

''Yes it all fits!Yesterday I went to that old bridge and that phantom or whatever it was,attacked me.Today I was targeted again.This could very possibly mean that ,that old story is being used as a disguise to hide something big.But....what is it?''Roha said thoughfully.

''Whatever it is but one thing is clear.Someone is getting really desperate,so we are going to stick to you like glue,not even a single toe out of the line you're putting.''Amish said stubbornly,looking thoroughly determined.
