Strange Feelings


Zella was excited " Off-course, I will be coming."
Eli and percy was waiting for Zella.


" So how was your combined assignment? " percy asked zella with a grin.


" It was nice. We submitted it." Zella replied.


" We cant find any excitement in you." Eli asked suspiciously.


" Nothing like that. The topic was boring. By the way what about the party tonight." Zella said.


" we gonna rock it" said Eli and Percy joyously.
They greeted each other and left back home while leaving the school Zella saw Lance staring at her.But Lance was wearing something different from what he was wearing before. She got scared by thinking those words said by Lance in library.


She thought ' why did Lance changed his dress while leaving the school ? From where will he change his clothes. Is there something wrong with him. He behaved so strangely today.'


She walked towards him but he went away.
Zella left the school and she was alone today. Walking alone back to home and passing the dark forest gave Zella goosebumps.
She went through the road, kicking whatever she can find in her way. Suddenly she stepped into a big rock and rolled down. She got up from the ground and realized that beside her is the dark forest. She started breathing heavily,sweats were drooling over her face


Her eyes became blurred and for a moment


********
she was inside the forest, the sky turned dark and there were stars in the sky. She turned around and shocked to see that it became night so soon. She was near a camp fire and there were so many people surrounding her.Musics banged her ear and she found Eli and Percy making out in a corner of the forest holding themselves close together. There was some party going on in the forest. She saw Lance taking her and walking through the forest... " if that was me then whom am I"


*******


Suddenly she came back to the road gasping for breathe and the whole situation changed and she is back in the side of road near the forest and its still evening.


" Whats happening to me? What did I see now? Am I started to hallucinate about todays party. Whats wrong with me?" She sighed. Then she took her bag and walked through the lane. She entered her room. Stretched her body and leaned back to the bed.


She went downstairs and for her surprise Mr christi was there.
" its nice to meet you dad" she said pleasantly."how is Zad ?"


"Hm..hm.." he shook his head while having tea. "He is fine dear."


" Whats up buddy? So energetic today." Said Mr christi.


" Mom,dad I need both your permission" said Zella.


" for what?" Mom raised her question.


"Well, tony my classmate has arranged a party tonight and I wanted to attend it. And its my first party in this town.I can make friends."


"Noooo" a shrieked voice came and it was Zad. He was coughing and even was able to walk barely.


" dad... mom... please" she pleaded.


" ok. You can go but there are rules." Mr christi said seriously.


" yes dad, what is it?" Zella asked anxiously.


" rule number 1,should be back before 12, number 2, no drinks because you are still a kid,number 3,don't roam around alone." He said pointed his fingers into numbers.


" yes dad. All rules agreed." She said.


" so where is the party?" Mrs christi interrupted.


" ugh.. in the dark forest" she turned away and walk into her room and called out " im getting ready."


Mrs christi rolled her eyes.


It was night. Zella got ready for the party. She was wearing a red party dress with huge round ring and obviously her necklace.she step into her heels and was ready to go.
She came downstairs greeted her mom, her dad was out.


"You look amazing baby." Mrs Christi hugged her.


"Thank you mom" she gave her a bear hug.


" dont forget what dad told you." She tapped her nose.


" yes mom"


She booked a cab and went to the party.
She got down from the cab and walked into the forest where she can see lights and arrow mark to show the way and finally reached the place.


'It was just like what i saw today.'she muttered.
While on the way to party she felt that someone is behind her. She turned back to cross check but found nobody else. She is still walking , nobody was there. A manly hand hold her from behind and she turned back with a shock😳.


" O my god. You just made me die." Zella shouted.
" cool down Zella" Percy bursted into laugh.


They both walked into the party and joined with Eli. Eli was wearing a beautiful black party dress. Percy went behind Eli like a puppy following his master.
" You are so adorable." Percy said
" I-am always." Eli waved her hand off her hair.


They three were having fun time. Zella saw Lance smiling at her, she felt so happy. Suddenly a young lady in golden gown with ashen white appearance took Lance away. It was Lance's sister, she warned him not to get close with Zella.And in between Eli and Percy were keeping eye to eye contact. Zella thought that it will be best if she leave them alone because she got to know that they both are interested in each other.


Zella saw Lance standing in the corner of the party tent. She was just staring at him like a little kid staring at the moon.


" He is so hot today" she mumbled smiling at his beauty.


Mia,Anna and lisa saw Zella standing alone.They took it as their chance.


" You poor one, kind of lost in this dark forest."
" where is your friends?"
" oh they might thought that they cant protect her." and gave an echoing laugh.


Zella turned away and tried to walk away but, they didnt allow her to go.
" how can you escape from us?"
" what do you want?" Said zella


" come lets have some fun"


" no, let me go".


They forced Zella and made her to drink.one shot,two shot....6 shot. Zella lost her consciousness and she was roaming here and there.
Finally Lance held her


" what are you doing, are you drunk." Lance asked.


" hi Lance" Zella smiled with a drunken swinging unconscious face.


" its really glad to meet you. You are looking so hot today." Zella grinned.


Lance rolled his eyes.


" I wanted to say you something" Zella fell into Lance.Lance's body was feeling as cold as ice.


" hey come on... stay properly." Lance was so tensed about her in this condition.


Zella went closer to Lance. Her body was close enough and her chest was on Lance's chest. She was looking up to see his face. Her eyes were on his eyes. Her lips were searching for his lip. Her hands rolled behind his body and rubbed his hair.He held her face with his hand,their lips were close enough . His eyes turned blue, it was filled with lust. Her locket started glowing and her birthmark had a spark too. He tried to control hisself and and pushed her away.


" No Lance, i love you, and i need you." Zella cried because she was drunk.
" you drank so much,and you are acting weird. He cursed her under his lips.


The reality is even he is lost in her for a while.
He took her hand and asked her to go with him but she refused. He carried her and walked through the forest near his car.
While going, in her drunken blurred vision she saw the camp fire and people are dancing around it. Percy and Eli were kissing each other. Lance was carrying her . He carried her to the car. And driven back to Zella's home. While driving he was watching Zella with care.He saw a shadow watching them from the side of the road. He stared at the shadow. Stopped the car there for a moment. And driven as quick as possible. He carried her and ring their door bell.


Her father opened the door and saw Zella in Lance's hand.


" oh dear. What happened?" Mr Christ's eyes widened.


" Nothing to worry sir. She is drunk and I apologizes for it, she was not in a state to come back alone." Lance said politely.


" thank you my son," and he took Zella and took her inside and laid her down in her bed.


Mrs Christi was worried about her. She kept a dustbin near her bed side and went back to their room.


Lance was not able to leave Zella alone. He was in her bed watching Zella sleep and make sure she is safe. He glanced at her until the dawn.
