Chapter 1 – A Forlorn encounter
It was a dark night. Just like many other passengers in the train, John too was feeling exasperated. He had been travelling for one day to pass on this letter from his Boss’. The moon shone the leaves were moving and there was somehow a creepy feeling lingering in the atmosphere.
John, however was not a creative or imaginative man. He just wanted to finish the work and get back home as soon as possible. His wife, Taj had been waiting for him. The day after tomorrow was her 30th birthday and so he wanted to reach his house to celebrate with his wife.
John was exhausted, his eyes closed like a dead man, he fell fast asleep but an announcement from the conductor of the train broke him from his very much needed rest.
“ Anyone who wants to depart in Station 16 – in Texas please do so. This is the last announcement. The train will move on after this.”
“Oh, me sir.” John cried
“Gentleman, were you snoozing for so long?”
“I am very sorry sir. I felt very exhausted and had dozed off.”
“It’s fine young boy. Beware next time.”
“ Thank you.”
Saying this John left the train, gesturing to the conductor.
It was the middle of the night. No one was there except for one lady with black hair with violet highlights, blue eyes that could over-stern the sternest eyes and a rather strong muscular framework.
“Hi – “ John said but was interrupted by the lady.
“You got the letter?” The lady asked.
“Yes.” John replied rather amusedly.
“Hand it to me.”
“How do I – “
“ ONLY THE STRONGEST WILL WIN!
Let’ s just say I know the ‘private’ password of your ‘boss’ Mr. Roberts.”
“Yes, that is indeed true...here you go”
John handed the letter to the woman.
“Thank you. You can depart now”
“What? I just left a bus. I – “
“Not my problem, hun.” Saying this the mysterious lady left and it looked as though she meshed with the dark night sky.
“Amelie.” John whispered.
John had seen a tattoo on her neck that said
*AMELIE** Lucas*
John was an expert at paying attention to detail. That is why he was so beloved by his boss. He had to wait four hours to get to the next train. The night was somewhat scary but was an opportunity for John to finally get some sleep since he had hardly received any due to this exhausting journey. 527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIbzJBj1nP
As he got on the train four hours later, and had ample amount of time to think about this somewhat bewildering encounter – was this meant to be? John received an eerie vibe from the lady - a sensation he had not felt much before.
