Midsummer Nights Incident

Chapter 12

Maybe it's just someone's idea of fooling around " said Lila to Jesse n Suri after they told them

about the note. " It doesnt look one bit funny but. Who could it be " said Suri. " Listen don't worry all

will be okay " said Ted. Ed said " such things happen forget it. Maybe someone got attracted by you

two beauties here .. " Their dinner was cut short n they went to retire to their rooms to sleep early. In

the night as Jesse was lying awake on her pillow. She thought about William. Is he really back.

Where is he now. A shudder ran through her body n she slept fitfully. Suri too was not feeling sleepy

in her room when a knock came on her door. She opened it. It was Ted. " " Ted what u r doing here

" exclaimed Suri. "I knew u was awake " he said smilingly n gave her a small pecking kiss on the lips

n went. " " Wait " said Suri. " " Lets go to the upper deck to catch some fresh midnight air ". " Okay

come then " replied Ted. They both went to the upper deck. It was a very balmy breezy night. Suris

hair was flying because of the wind. They went n stood near the railings. The star's were

shimmering in the sky with the full moon casting a cool glow all around. " Isnt it lovely " exclaimed

Suri. Only the lapping of the sea waves could be heard. " Yes its lovely like you " said Ted.

Suddenly Suri got a chilling feel creeping on her back. She felt like as if someone was watching her.

She turned around and just saw a man's shadow turn away from the upper deck. Whose this man

whose stalking here. Next morning Suri woke up to the sunshine falling on her face through the

cruise window. She saw the alarm clock it read 11 in the morning. Jesse came rushing into her room

saying " fast have ur breakfast we are going for sun tanning with the guys. " After having a breakfast

they got ready n went to the upper open deck. Lila was already there laying around getting herself

sun tanned while reading a fashion magazine. " So u guys have come " she said. " Where is Ted n

Ed " asked Suri. " Both are in the swimming pool " pointed Lila. Ed came out dripping with water

while Ted was swimming. In the evening Jesse was having her coffee when Ed entered her room. "

Hey lets take a evening walk around over the cruise boat what says u. " " Sure chipped in Jesse " as

its getting suffocating here in the room lets check out the food n magazine outlets up. Not to forget

the crowd. " So they both went hand in hand up. After strolling around for sometime it was late

evening now n getting darker. The sun had already set. " Just you wait I will get a lighter to light our

cigarettes " said Ed and went to get it. Meanwhile Jesse looked at the twilight sky and the waves

Chapter crashing against the fast running cruise boat. There was a sound of some thump. And Jesse found

herself falling into the sea. It felt like the ground beneath had gone and she was

sucked into the ocean. Someone had pushed her! ♡ Chapter three. She tried not to drown. She

struggled to swim. Suddenly there was a splash and Ed had joined her. He was a good swimmer. "

What happened " shouted Jesse. " I don't know I just saw u falling and came after you. " What we

do now it's not possible to climb this huge cruise boat. " " See there is some island sort of there I

think let's swim there " Ed panted against the stormy sea waves. " No i can't swim that far " said

Jesse. " We have to do u want to drown " said Ed. So they both swam for some time and reached

the shore of the island. It was a forest type island full of thick green trees. " It looks uninhabitated "

said Ed who was dripping all wet. So was Jesse who was breathless with the swimming. It was very

late in the evening now. The sky was full dark and the moon had rosen in the sky. "How did u fall

Jesse " asked Ed. " Someone pushed me " said Jesse. " It was so good of u to come after me Ed

what I would have done without u if you had not jumped after me. " " Now let's think about our plan

here what we do now. The cruise boats gone. Suri n Lilan Ted will get worried about us " said Ed.

Jesse layed down on the grass for sometime catching her breath. Then she got up n looked around

her. It was dark now n the huge trees surrounded them. She shivered because of the cold wind

which was blowing. " We have to find some shelter " said Ed coming behind her. When from far a

wolf's moan could be heard. " My God what was that now " whispered Jesse.
