“Hey, babe. Don’t you know this way is not safe for good girls like you.” The guy in the middle says. I guess he is the leader.
“Really!” I say in a challenging tone.
“Feisty huh! Listen babe, thing is that-” He starts babbling trying to hold my wrist. I kick him straight in between his legs which makes him fall in the ground screaming.
“The thing is that you messed with the wrong person, brother.” I say smirking.
Another stupid tries to hit me. I punch him in the face knocking two teeth out.
“Who said I am a good girl huh!” I say smirking at their stupidity.
The third i***t who didn’t learn from his friends mistake run towards me. I kick him in the stomach. He stumbles back. He tries to stand up but I kick him once again.
I check my watch and its already 9:45 am. s**t! I am going to be late.
Bzzt… bzzt…
I feel my phone vibrating in my bag. I take a look at my phone and smile at the name, “Mr. Devil.”
Fred: Miss Johnson. You are late today.
Castiel: Really sorry boss. I am walking to office today so. I will be there in 15 minutes. Aaahhh!
I suddenly feel a strong pain in back of my head as if someone just hit me with something really hard. I turn to see who it is with the last strength I have.
Crap! Where did the fourth guy come from? He is standing there in confusion holding a iron rod. b****y loser, attacking from behind.
“Why did you do so? Lets run.” I hear one of the guy say.
Fred: Castiel! Castiel! Angel!! what happened? Where are you? Answer me.
Fred is yelling in the phone. My ears are ringing. My mind is full of flashes of all the memories. Mom, dad, Olivia, Lily, Fred and sis I will miss you.
“Angel!! Nice nickname.” I whisper to myself as I fall into abyss.
--------------------------
Fred’s p.o.v.
My angel’s scream is ringing in my head.
“James, track this number with in 2 kilometers distance.” I say giving him Angel’s number. James is an intern in technical department. He is new but really talented.
“It’s in dark alley. But who will go to such a creepy place. It is quite dangero-”
I run to the elevator. What the hell is she doing there?
--------------------------
It feels as if a nightmare. Actually worse cause I know it won’t be over if I just wake up. I am driving like crazy on the narrow road desperately looking around. My eyes searching my angel. I stop just in front of a girl lying without any movement.
I go and turn her around. I fight the urge to break into tears as I see her beautiful face lying unconscious. I carry her to the car and drive to the nearest hospital faster then I ever have.
I feel a strong pain in my chest as the paramedics take her to the emergency room.
---------------------------------
An hour later
She has been in the operating table since an hour now. All the best doctors in the city are here but I feel so helpless. I don’t know what I can do at this time. I have been praying hopelessly. Its all my fault. I should I have been with her. I shouldn’t have let her come alone.
If she just survives this once I will never let anything happen to her. Always keep her by my side, love her and protect her with my life.
Olivia is also here she has been pacing back and forth since last 45 minutes. She will probably lose consciousness by the time doctor comes out.
“What is wrong? What happened to sister-in-law?” Brian asks sitting beside me.
I really don’t have the courage to say it.
“Sister-in-law??” Olivia says suddenly getting excited.
That big mouth!
The door of the operating room opens and doctor steps out.
“Doctor, how is she?” I say standing from the seat.
“She is fine for now. Luckily there isn’t heavy bleeding, skull fracture or nerves damage otherwise she might have got amnesia or even lose her sight. You need to take care of your girlfriend, young man.”
I finally release my breathe which I didn’t even knew I was holding. She is fine. That’s good! Now that’s all I care about.
“So can we meet her, doctor?” Olivia asks.
“Not now. She is still not conscious yet. You might see her after she is moved to the general ward.”
“Ok. Thank you doctor.” Olivia replies.
---------------------------------
Castiel’s p.o.v.
“Why does my eyes feel so heavy?”
I can barely open my eyes. I look around and I am standing in a strange place. There is nothing else except for barren land and a dead tree.
Not even a grass or a fly. I start looking around desperately. I remember I was in….. s**t!! I got hit on my head!! So am I dead now? Noo. Not so soon. I still have so many thing to do in life. I haven’t even fell in love yet. I still have so many places to travel and who will take care of Lily? Olivia can’t take such a big responsibility and mom and dad, I don’t know if they will accept. And will I get good food here or not.
I am looking around to see if I can get a way to go out. I see some colorful lights in a distance. I start running to the direction of the light. I am breathing heavily as I see a beautiful meadow being separated from the barren land where I am standing with a thin line. I see a beautiful figure of a lady who is facing her back to me, picking some chrysanthemums.
“Excuse me miss.” I say trying to get her attention.
“You are excused.” I hear a familiar voice. This voice and such a lame joke can be only one person. But she…
“What? You forgot your sister?” She says folding her arms.
“Sis!! Its you. Its confirmed. I am dead! I have to take care of Lily, travel, apologize to mom and dad and fall in love. I can’t be dead so soon.”
“You are not dead, stupid! Still the same right! You have to take care of Lily, can you be a little mature now?” She says sarcastically.
“So am I dreaming. Can’t be cause my legs are dying because of pain of walking so much. What the hell is it the-”
“Neither do I have time nor patience to reason with you. Its already your time to return so let me finish saying what I want to-”
Sis is saying something when I smell a really sweet smell which seem to pull me. I try to step forward when sis yells, “Don’t!” and pushes me behind.
I again fall into a dark abyss. I see my sis waving me good bye and saying, “Take care of Lily and Fred for me. And you have some time so think whether have you really not fallen in love. Settle the scores and step forward bravely. Arguing with yourself will not help.”
I keep on repeating my sis words in my head afraid i will forget it like a dream. Settle the scores and step forward bravely. Arguing with myself with not help. Settle the scores.
Just wait for me. Fred... I already miss you.
