--CHAPTER-3-

"SSSHHHHSSSSS"

A creepy voice enter's Nikhil's ear as he looks at the giant snake coiling around the wolf's body in horror.

"AAOOOOOOO"

The cry of the wolf help's him wake up from his stupor as he quickly turns around his body and starts running towards the forest.

He kept running and running until he was no longer able to hear the cries of the wolf and snake.

*huuh*huuh*huuh*

Nikhil's take's in heavy breadth's as he tries to climb on the nearest tree to get a sense of safety.

After a few tries, He was successfully able to climb up the tree. Nikhil sit's between the thick branches of the large tree and tries to understand what is happening to him.

'huh...huh...WhAt did I Do to Deserve this?????'

Nikhil asks himself as he gets in a more comfortable position to rest his body when suddenly...

*DING*CONGRATULATION TO TRAINEE XXXXXX FOR SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPING THE AREA BOSSES*

*DING*AWARDING TRAINEE WITH 100 POINTS FOR COMPLETING THE SUDDEN MISSION*

"WWhat was that"

Nikhil shouts as he looks around to find the source of the voice.

*DING*THE TRAINEE IS UNABLE TO USE POINTS AS HE IS NOT QUALIFIED AND SO THE POINTS ARE STORED TILL THE END OF STAGE-1*

"HELLOW is anyone there can you please tell me what is GOING on here please"

Nikhil says as he is unable to find anyone around him.

"WOW you actually managed to survive huh"

Nikhil flinches after hearing a beautiful voice coming from below him.

He looks down only to see a scene which makes him forget about his current situation.

'Wings???'

Yes, he sees a complete white pair of wings and vague silhouette of a human figure from between the leaves and branches of the tree.

"Well can you stop sitting there like an idiot and come down now"

Only after hearing the voice was he able to get a hold of himself and starts climbing down the tree.

*THUD*

He roughly lands on the ground as he gets a closer look at the person standing in front of him.

"Well then I want you to keep quiet and listen carefully to what I am about to tell you"

Nikhil was unable to hold himself back and asks

"IS is this a dream or something"

He ends up asking the question as he was unable to distinguish between reality and dream after looking at the person in front of him.

ANGEL

That is the only word Nikhil was able to come up with after looking at her fair white skin with light blue eyes and silver hair which flows down her waist and from her shoulders one was able to see pair of white wings which were folded.

The Angel was looking at him silently with a smile which only makes her look more beautiful.

*step*step*step*

She starts walking towards him.

*step*step*stop*

She stops at an arm's length in front of me with her arms behind her back and that dazzling smile was still on her face which made me hallucinate that a white aura was coming from behind her.

*SWISH*

I see something flash by my eyes and hear a sound coming from my left side.

'HUH????'

I turned my head a little to my left but there was nothing there so I turned my head back to look at the Angel.

AH she was still giving me that beautiful smile, it was a dazzling smile which can captivate anyone regardless of gender.

She is wearing light green earing's on both of her ears her dress is pure white it like the sun itself is shining behind her.

The Angel then brings her right hand forward and keeping it in mid-air in front of me.

'A-H perhaps she's asking for a handshake'

I take her hand and start speaking.

"I am sorry for not introd---'

I stopped mid-sentence as the Angel grabs and turns my hand and make the flat side face upward.

I was confused by her action but looking at her warm smile put my heart at ease.

Then she brings her left hand from behind her and places something on my palm and retracts her right hand holding my hand.

I was still looking at her face and didn't saw what she placed there.

I looked down with my eyes and....

I froze.

It was a hand...

a literal hand with a bronze colored ring on one of its finger.

I blankly stared at the severed hand with a dumbfounded look I was unable to understand what just happened.

wait..isn't that my ring....

Only then did I came to realize the horrible truth.

I quickly turned to look at my side and it wasn't there...

My left hand was gone.

"AAAHHHHHHHHH"

A terrible pain assaulted my brain.

It was as if my body just realized that a part of it has been severed

*STEP*STEP*THUD*

I took two steps back and well on my but while holding my severed left hand with my right hand.

My mind was going blank due to the pain...

"AAAHHH-UUGGHHH"

My screams were stopped mid-way as a white hand grabbed a hold of my neck.

"Geeezzz I told you to not talk didn't I"

The same beautiful voice entered my ear but this time I was able to feel the abnormality in the voice it was just too.....indifferent.

The voice was emotionless it was the first time I was able to feel the coldness from her voice.

"UUggghhh"

I used my right hand to grab her hand holding my neck as I tried to breadth then I looked at her face again.

Then I saw it.

The way she looked at me with those light green eyes and that smile it was as if.....as if she was looking at an ant which can be crushed with just a snape of her finger.

Those cold eyes and that everlasting indifferent smile she wasn't an angel no...no she is but a demon in human skin.

She brings her head closer to my ears and

"Shout again and the next thing will be your head understand"

She said that with a lovely voice and a beautiful smile plastered on her face.

It is a nightmare.
