Chapter 19. Haze

Mira’s POV

I had no idea at this point if I was sleep walking or awake?

I knew I was outside the gates of the students’ residence, but I had no idea where I was headed. My eyes were glued on that fluttering light, my guardian my little butterfly. My legs kept crossing one milestone after another. I had no idea about my speed or direction. It was like I was in a hypnotic trance.

I had no idea, I was standing on top of a hillock, overlooking the entire town.

It was at this moment that my senses came around.

Panic flooded in like ants around a honey drop. It was overflowing and getting out of hand.

“Wh… Where am I? Why am I here?” I began questioning the chili air. I pulled my phone out to dial Razzak’s number but my phone was switched off. As soon as I pressed that button to switch it on, the wind snatched the phone out of my hand. Or was it the shadow? Was it even possible?

It was at the edge of the hillock and I jumped to catch it, but fell.
