MOONLIGHT

A lovely morning?

All of a sudden......my phone rang.

The ringtone brought me back to reality from my horrorland. I noticed beads of sweat on my forehead due to pain and fear.
Since i was having a severe headache, even the smallest of the noises were enough to make me mad. I sat up, annoyed, and reached for the phone kept beside me.
The bright screen of my phone read 'EMILY'. I received the phone and spoke in frustation...

Me- What!?
Emily- Oh my my! What happened Isa?
Me- Why did you call?
Emily- Oh! Again had that dream?
Me- *sigh* Yes!
Emily- Okay. Don't worry I am just coming at your place with Laura.
Me- Okay.
Emily- Bye

Emily and Laura have been my friends since i was 9. It's been 10 years since we are together and yes..i am going to stick to them till the end.
Afterall they are the first friends i ever made. Before that i never got this beautiful oppurtunity. Aunt Rosy used to change our living place so often that i sometimes felt like someone's chasing us and so we hiding.
Nevermind!

Em is a sporty girl. She loves being outdoor. Playing or dreaming to have a great adventure in her near future. Haha..

While Laura on the other hand is just opposite to Em. She's a happy go, girly-girl. A social bird and it's simply not possible that any news doesn't reach her. She has a crave for shopping 24*7. But I guess, she can be a really good makeup artist or fashion designer in near future.

Sometimes I wonder how does she even manage to survive with us?

Oh! Did i introduce myself to you? Okay...
So my name is Isabelle Green. My friends call me Isa. I am....i..am an orphan, you can say. I live with my Aunt, Aunt Rosy. I never saw my parents. Earlier, I used to ask Aunt about my parents, their life, their death..but she doesn't tell me. I don't know why but she turns pale when i ask her all this. This baffles me at times. This makes me question myself about my parents..more than ever. The only thing i know is i lost them when i was of two.
I do feel like asking my aunt more about them. But..at the end..i love my aunt a lot and she's the only one i have.and i can't trouble her. So i have stopped bothering her with all this. But i just hope..one day..i can get my answers.

So here i come to myself..I am a kind of person who is neither a girly girl nor a tomboy. I don't know why but people often confuse me being an egoist while others consider me an introvert.
But that's truly wrong. I am an ambivert. I don't like socializing much but that doesn't make me anti-social. Does it?

Now Coming back to my sweet home....
The open window at my right was welcoming bright sunlight and cold winds into my room. The morning freshness brightned up my messed up mood.
I wiped off my sweat and stood up from my lovely bed. Then headed towards my wardrobe. After being baffled for so long, i finally decided to dress up in plain grey cami and cigarette jeans. I turned towards my dresser to see how i would look in that dress. Ohooo...Not that bad!

After grabbing my fluffy purple towel i rushed to take a shower. The cold water hitting my body was relaxing me so much after having a haunting night. Washing away every negative thought that i had.
I came out of the washroom with a bright smile and a lovely mood.
I stood at the open window appreciating the enchanting beauty of nature. I felt a strange kind of calmness in the weather. The cold wing striking my wet hair. The green trees all around, the blue sky sheltering my soul. Pleasant weather. All was so good. I got lost in my world. In my world where i had my parents. My lovely friends. And a good sleep of course.

Just then the door knocked, bringing me back from my wonderland. I smilingly turned towards the door to open it. As expected, it was Em and Laura with Aunt Rosy.

Everyone came in. Aunt came to me with a tray in one hand. She kissed me on my forehead and asked, "Better?"
I hugged her tight and nodded with a cheerful smile. She caressed my wet hair with her motherly touch, kept the three coffee mugs at the table and left.
As soon as she left, both of my silly girl-friends jumped on my bed. I laughed and sat beside them and we began discussing how to spend the day. Afterall it was our weekend!!

After thinking for long, we finally came up with the idea that we are going for a walk in the woods first. To our secret place! After that, we will come back and call Dean at our place and play video games. Chit chat a little. And finally......at night, we are gonna watch a good horror movie.

Dean is our another closest and oldest friend. He is the smartest guy of our university. Every girl of our college is just mad after him. Mad after his physique. His voice. His everything.
He's not like those typical smart guys who hang around every girl and flirt. He's very serious when it come to emotions. At first, you may confuse him being arrogant. But no, he's not! He's really kind and sweet. The sweetest in our group!

No! Don't start judging me, okay?
I don't belong to the group of those girls. To me, he is just my good friend.

So as decided, we quickly got our hair done and moved out of my house to the lovely woods. Our another home!

Sometimes i feel, there's lot much you'll find in woods than just fun. When you look closely, they seem to have so many things. A welcoming feeling, a carefree surrounding, a homy feeling. But it all comes with some sort of secrets..deep dark secrets, some unreal things, something that is hidden from the whole world. You just have to look.
Yeah i don't know how to do those silly gossips. Like why do i really care about what someone is doing in their personal life?? I am no one to interfere.
You'll find me doing these types of talks only. About nature. About life. Practical talk. Maybe this is why many people find me boring.
Afterall, what the world wants? GOSSIP!

So, after walking silently for 15 minutes we finally reached the woods. There were still 5-6 minutes left to reach our secret spot. As we all began moving farther in the woods, we all began having a strange kind of feeling. Ripples of fear shot our spine. Our gut feeling signalled as if someone was following us. Watching us. In just a moment we felt surrounded by a powerful negative vibe. It was terrifying. We stopped and gave each other fearful glares. None of us had enough courage to turn back and see who who was there. We completely froze there. After talking to each other in signs, we finally decided to look back. Just for once. So here we did.

And BOOM! There was no one. Now it became even more terrifying. All three of us were freaked out!
We looked at each other, and ran as fast as we could.
But...we did a mistake! A great mistake! We ran into the woods....
