Busy as ever Avalon just got her new job after resigning her old work place "I'm not a quitter" these are the only words she would say when she is down.

One day when she had successfully shifted her furniture to her new apartment, she went to the pizza place as she had no time to prepare dinner, coincidentally she met her friend after a long time...

"hey Ava long time no see what have you been doing so long?" I heard someone ask me. I turned around to see who it was and was surprised to see Ash one of my old friends, or better one of my only friend in school

"Hey really after so, so, so long...it's so good to see you, it's so unexpected...I have been doing fine what about you? it's odd to see you here out of the blue I know I'm the one who shifted but still? but what have you been doing??...." I asked her I wanted to know how she was doing in the big city

"I own a pastry shop by the name Tea plus by the corner come vist sometimes....I have small branches of it in 3 more different places and they are also doing quite well... what about you?" Ash looked really satisfied with her life so far, how I wish I could do the same....

"I just got a new job here, close by" I said, even though we are good friends it is still very weird talking to eachother as if nothing hhappenedin between she she left...after so long....

" what about your dream don't you wanna complete it?" Ash asked me...

I would have just started, but i need money for that now...

"I do but first I wanna collect some money I wanna work near someone who has experienced in that sort of work and then I'll open my own art gallery" Ash was a bit worried went I headed toward a vocational path...even though i was preety good in my studies

she surely thought that I would take up something with science..."

"so is your pay good enough?? can it sustain you?" Ash looked a but worried...

" yea it's quite good, I mean it's affordable for two but I live alone so lifes a bomb man" I didn't wanna worry her and my pay was really good

"are you sure that you live alone?? I mean, how is he? him you know samuel.." suddenly a chill seem to spread down my spine shivering like a cold kitten, I just wanna forget about him, it was a bad dream, a bad dream...

Samuel was my crush when in higher secondary, I even tried getting in the same college that he enrolled in, but I could not attend the exam, luckily.....on graduation day I confessed to him and we were a couple for quite sometime...I should have know that it was unrequited...

"plea..please don't talk about him"

"ok whatever you say, I'm sorry to ask but is everything alright between you'll??" I so did not want to answer that, it was as if she was rubbing that in my face!

"just leave don't talk about him"

"ok I'm sorry I'm really sorry" Ash said...

"it's ok...I'll take my leave now...." I just wanted to get out from there with my pizza

"wai..wait let's exchange contacts so that we keep in touch ok?"asked Ash

"yea fine works for me"...

I headed back to my new apartment

on the way....

I thought about what happened not about tha piece of shit Samuel but about my work, I just handed my resume and they called me to work without any interview is it safe to go to work there hmmm....

it's ok let's see tomorrow

the next day I reached the studio it was quite big, there was a lady waiting for me I guess in her late 40's, she told me that me that my boss sent her to guide me to his office I followed her....on the way I was admiring the paintings hanging on the wall there were different sorts of portraits, scenes and photographs...I guess that the owner of the studio has intrest in photography too.

right on the other side there was a canvas ,the painting from that canvas was a bit familiar but it was hanging alone there on the wall and we were walking the other side so I could not get to see it much....suddenly I banged a person... I did not notice that the lady had stopped walking there was a tall man standing in front on me... I said sorry while lifting me head on top

He looked really jolly and easygoing his aura was pretty but unfortunately he was not my boss but he came to meet someone as told by the lady...she started walking again and I followed her we reached at the end of the studio, it was very preety the lights and the wall paints matched each others tones, she told me to enter in I knocked at the door but no one responded I looked at the lady again and she told me to just enter...ok so first* knocking the door reflects a person's manners and entering directly is like, is this some kinda test?....ok...but I still entered....there was not a single living soul but there was strangely a glass door!

behind the glass door there was a garden??

I waited for sometime and then I entered the garden, I mean if he asks me how the hell I entered?? I will be like 'sorry sir I did not know you were in. I just thought of coming for a walk in the lovely garden...'

I entered in and I walked a distance when I came to a halt, there was a young man, maybe 1, 2 years diffrence from our age but he looked my age

he was there sitting there on a bench

SORRY IM REALLY SORRY SO THIS PLOT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BEFORE SHE GOES TO WORK..PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND, I PROMISE I'LL TRY NOT TO DO MORE MISTAKES IN THE FUTURE,PLEASE IM SO SORRY...

DONT FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE, LIKE COMMENTS I'm so sorry truly

that night..

I entered the room and I switched on the lights but they did not turn on.

I guess that there was a light out, I really get scared of darkness not much...but sometimes I fell something is watching me at that time I get scared...I switched on my mobile light and I went to search a candle or to find where the emergency light was... as soon as I lit the candle it went off.... ok so I was creeped out it was just a coincidence and then I got the emergency light and I switched it on.. there was a tall guy standing wounded and there was blood coming out from his eyes right in front of me.. I got scared, but as soon as he saw me the blood stopped flowing, his eyes seemed to glow...he approached me and I went one step behind, he kept coming forward, there was no wall and I almost tripped but he caught me and he hugged me, at once my whole body got a shock as if electricity passed through.....and I fell on the ground I could not tell that feeling that came over my body I did not want him to leave me.. he was a stranger! a stranger! you don't know him and you want him to hug you!!... ok maybe I'm too lonely these days I need a friend, that to very badly now I guess...I need to use my taekwondo lessons... I pushed him sideways and I stood up and screamed "what the hell dude who are you!"...

"How con you forget me?.. and stop shouting, you are annoying me...I should be the one who Is supposed to be pissed off...I'm bleeding and you are screaming..."

ok so now I was out of words! how can he get annoyed by entering my house! without my permission! and hug me without my confrontation..how?!!

" who are you really?..how did you enter my house?"

"if you forgot me I'll remind you who I am" he said and he got up and approached me again....and kissed me on my forehead,he was anyhow taller than me...and I felt as if I was dizzy but instead I was transported to some other place

this was all out of the blue...how can these things be possible who was he?

I'm a person who doesn't believe in such transporting and bending power and stuff, but I was transported or to be more precise ..........I time traveled not that far in the past but in my younger age of 10, 11, I was standing and people were passing through me and could not see me as if I was gas, I saw a small girl, who I knew was me when I was 10

....I was running toward the bridge I followed my younger self and I saw that I was about to jump off the bridge!

I was about to stop her when a boy who looked around the same age, I could not get the difference since he was still a kid...

I was surprised! as I never remember this incident this has to be a big memory because I was about to jump off a godam bridge! but why don't I remember this incident??? had I ever seen this boy in my life...was the boy who saved me the guy who just barged in my house...or were these people related...what is happening I suddenly lost conciousness and I fainted when I woke up I saw that pervert kissing me on my neck this time...or licking my neck?? I literally tried my best to push him away but his grip was to tight and then he pricked something sharp on my neck it was his teeth I guess I wanted to see how he looked but I couldn't get even I glimpse of him,... I only saw his face for a split second until he kissed my forehead before after sometime the sharp pain disappeared just like him......

he was a vampire?? but do vampires disappear after feeding on prey?

I read some novels that they suck the person dry...or maybe I was dreaming..I punched myself very hard and I realized that I was alive and in the present! and after sometime I lost consciousness ..............

I'm sorry........

just remember that this all happened before she entered the studio she was working...you will understand why later...

it was my mistake I'm really sorry it won't ever happen again

*Note: I'm sincerely sorry for the previous chapter. I hope so u understand it from now... thank you!

when Avalon woke up she thought it was a dream so she did not pay much attention to what had happen even though her neck hurt'd like hell!..

when she was ready she headed to her office, a lady guided her to her bosses office she entered and she saw a glass door, from the door she could see a garden.... she entered the garden and she saw a young man maybe 3 to 4 years elder than her..

she was shocked when she approached the young man as what he was sketching was something impossible...he was not sketching what he was looking at..but she knew it is possible to draw without looking, but this was a serious matter to her as he was drawing her. when she was young maybe 10 to eleven years and no one ...and she meant no one saw her face when she was 10 because she remembers that she was diagnosed with some kind of allergy when she was 5 that lasted till she was 19 she had to undergo serious treatment when she was 14 and a half, as it was told by her mother who passed away when she was 16...she remembers that she had to roam around even in school with a mask and the kids used to make fun of her..the only person who saw her was Ash who she met after a long time in front of her apartment....her house used to be sealed for some reason and the doors packed...

she saw the young man packing the things up, she rushed back to the room and waited for the man to enter in the office, he was what she guessed her *"Boss" he entered the room and asks her to sit down...

he was a tall handsome man, his eyes were blue as deep as the ocean depths

he had long eye lashes which fit his eyes that made them look perfect..he was clean shaved with a perfect skin tone and his hair was jet black..gently combed toward one side...he sat on the chair and he introduced himself

"morning miss White, please take a sit, I am Justin stone and I'm the owner of blank studio you might have heard about me.." ..

Avalon sat on the chair admiring his preety face but something was not right about him, he had a very dull aura which she meant as dark which was very scary at first...it was not expected by her for a artist to have a dark aura...this is something what Avalon used to notice about people when she was young, she used to judge people depending upon what she felt their aura to be...to be able to judge people was was easy but her boss was a different case his aura's were mixed she noticed it when he said "you may call me anything as you wish Justin, Mr.Stone anything"...he had interwinding expressions, he was a different case but she thought forget it and she nodded and said "Mr.Stone it is then"

she said smiling.."you may come to work Tomorrow" said justin...she has a question and she asked it "Mr. stone if you dont mind, may I know how I got this job ..I am grateful for it but I never had an interview I just handed over my details and nothing else"

he replied by saying "we dont have much people who want to be a personal assistant and you were the only one and it was an emergency because I have to go abroad and I needed an assistant, I hope you dont mind coming with me me abroad for a while after some months?"

she was cool with it and so she said "I dont mind at all Mr. Stone until and unless the place is safe"....

"it is not dangerous dear, dont worry, please come to work from tomorrow at 9:00 sharp I dont like late comers and specially no excuses!" he said grinning

" you wont see me late" she said in a promising way...and went back home on the way to her apartment she remembered Ash and wanted to visit her shop or café

so she started hunting for the café with the name "Tea plus"

at last she found it at the corner and she asked her if she had good income since it was right at the corner of the street " I do get a good income here... you know that I do have 3 more different café's" said Ash "I wanted to ask you something actually" said Avalon "anything for you what do you want to know" said Ash excitedly

"well when I was young I knew only you right?" asked Avalon "yea why?" asked ash in a very curious manner "did I know anyone, a guy perhaps by the name justin stone?" asked Avalon

"wait do you mean the artist Justin stone...like literally you got hired there?..how didn't you know? ....you entered a lions den or more precisely you are gonna enter the megaladons mount by yourself instead of getting on the shore" said Ash sharply "but the way he spoke was quite Good and for heaven sake he is a Artist you know..? who would be so ruthless" said Avalon

"so do you think that all artists are happy go luck you know his into photography also right?" said Ash

" yea I saw some pictures but that's not fair you cant just term him because of some rumors and are you implying that photographers are ruthless...to me they are very happy people expressing their work and feelings through a picture and the same goes with art" replies Avalon

"you'll see darling you'll see" Said Ash.....**
