      Before she could register the series of event , the van speed up . The only logical thing she could do was to scream. She started struggling to free herself from clutches of man who was holding her from her shoulder . The man sitting across her signals towards her and very swiftly the other man tied her hands . It seems that her struggle did not even flinch their action . Fear creep in her heart as Sena felt it was really happening and not any nightmare.       All her struggle went in vain. The man covered her mouth to prevent the suspicion and also tied blindfold . Sena's mind went blank. Tears that she was holding back began to flow freely.      Sena's pov     I could not understand what was happening! I mean why anybody wants to kidnap me. I am startled by the event that I couldn't think straight. I felt like this is it! It's the end . There is no escape . I think it is fated to end this way .      All I know is that I am in black van kidnapped by three unknown men or may be more but I saw three . The one who pushed inside and sitting beside me seems to be in this late forties with blad head . The other two sitting across me looks more dangerous and maybe around fifty. The one who signaled seems as the leader have a cut on his left check leading further down to his jaw .         I tried to set myself free but they tied my hand behind to restrict any sort of movement and also covered my mouth and eyes . Maybe don't want to create more trouble . They worked like professionals without talking using no words instead signs to prevent me from reacting. I was scared to core imagining worst case scenario. Tears were rolling down my cheeks continuously not knowing what was going to happen next.        If Eric come to know about this , he  will surely die of heart attack.  Imagining the state of Eric, more tears formed in my eyes . I was sniffing in between my sobs. The car took sharp left turn slamming my head on the side of the car . I composed myself and memories of that horrible night hit me. *****flashback*****      It was my eighth birthday when my parents Mr.Robin Grace and Mrs.Ally Grace decided to go for camping . I inherit my brown hair and face feature from my mom but my green eyes resemble my dad .  My dad was owner of a supermarket. But he was very fascinated  by stars . My dad would aimlessly gaze star . I inherit this from him. I loved gazing night sky thinking what wonders it hold beyond. Eric Whites was my dads best friend or the only friend . Eric gifted me a telescope before our departure.    We reached the camp site . We set our tent and other things . Many other families were their to enjoy the camping in lap of nature away from city life . After our lunch camp instructor instruct us to form two groups . One will go to forest to collect sticks and other will go for fishing. Me and dad went for fishing while mom was in other group. I quite enjoyed fishing with dad although we caught only 2  fishes while others were able to catch numerous. We went back and all the preparation were already made for cooking. I spotted mom and rushed to her telling about our fishing. And mom handed me blue berries she collected from forest . I was more than happy with the camping trip. I felt it was my best birthday ever but it was short-lived.  After our dinner everybody returned to there tent. Mom placed me in my bed after lot of struggle. I did not wanted to sleep because I wanted to use my telescope  . I tossed in my bed but could not sleep. I sneak out of tent find my mom and dad sleeping.  I took a seat near a bonfire to keep myself warm. I was gazing at the sky when I spotted a shooting star. I use my telescope to  see it more clearly. It was shining bright red and was moving fast towards the surface of earth.            Slight vibration was felt due to it's crashing with the surface. I felt it must have fallen near by due to strong impact which caused fire to extinguish. I stood up on my place not sure what to do . I felt strong urge to find what it was and before I could understand anything I found myself marching towards forest dropping my telescope  .    'Curiosity kills the cat' I knew it could be dangerous but I wanted to see what it was. I walked through forest towards river . It took me five minutes to reach their and I was totally stunned by the view in front of me . The river was parted and at the surface was the red stone which was now shining more brightly , as if it was the reason for this miracle. The river was not so deep so I jumped in . I wouldn't believe it , as if water was frozen but my misunderstanding was cleared when I saw a fish swimming freely in one part of separation. I tried to touch it and my hand freely passing in the water .  Huge grin plastered on my face experience such a wonder . I move towards the shining stone for a closer look . It seem very normal except it's shining. It was not a shooting star but a comet . Eric once told me  that comet shines and not shooting stars. I wanted to hold it and without giving it a second thought I peaked it up . It began shining even more brighter in my palm and in blink of an eye it vanished. Now grin was replaced by shook. I look around for any trace but found none .  Winds peak up a sudden speed with howling sound, lightning struck deadly in sky . Fear creep in when I heard the sound of water filling the gap which was created due to comet . Water was slowly moving forward . Fear was clear evident on by face . With quick steps I rush towards river bank . My blue night wear got stuck in thorny plant . The tears I was holding back was now running down. And stormy climate  added fuel to my anxiety.         I saw that water would submerge any time from now so I pulled the gown pretty hard making it rip at the end . And with all my strength ran to reach the bank safely . I was almost at the bank when river submerged making lower half of my gown wet .           I felt somebody near by so I scanned the area and found somebody standing at the other side of the river facing his back towards me. He has the aura around him screaming dangers . Without waiting any other second ,I sprint towards the camp. I was breathing heavily but did not dare to look back .            When I reached at the camp site everybody was in panic mode and rushing here and there . I hear my parents calling for me . Panic was clearly evident in there voice. I directly run in moms arms hugging her tightly. I found her face wet because of all crying for me .            I was in mommy's arm while daddy guide her towards car . Without collecting our belongings mom put me in back seat while dad and mom took driving and passenger seat respectively.
