[10:05 PM] Rohan: (Texts Ani) Just like Vikram.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖

Chapter 1: The Dream
It was midnight , inside the room of Anika
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
Ugh… another one of those dreams.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
It’s always the same. A flash of fire… a scream… and then… nothing. Just a void.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
I wake up with my heart pounding, like I’ve just run a marathon. But I can’t remember anything clearly. Just fragments.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
A beautiful face… a sharp, cruel voice… a feeling of betrayal…
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
I wish I knew what it meant. These dreams have been happening for months. They’re starting to… unsettle me.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
Maybe I should just ignore them. Try to focus on my life here.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
But… what if they’re trying to tell me something?
It was around 12 am so she tried to sleep again
Ani wakes up by 6:30 and gets ready for work
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Gets ready for work) Another day, another attempt to push those dreams to the back of my mind.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Checks phone) No new messages. Typical
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
Rohan always says I worry too much. He probably thinks I’m being dramatic.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
But he doesn’t have these dreams. He doesn’t feel this… this pull towards something she can’t explain.
As it was 7:30 already she leaves for work
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Lunch break) (Texts Ro) Hey! How’s your day going?
𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝
(Texts Ani) Busy as always! Just finished a big presentation. You?
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Texts Ro) Same old, same old. Those dreams again last night.
𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝
(Texts Ani) Ani, we talked about this. Don’t let them get to you. They’re just dreams.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Texts Ro) I know, I know. But this one felt different. There was… something…
𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝
(Texts Ani) Something? Like what?
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Texts Ro) I don’t know. It’s hard to explain. A feeling… like I’ve been here before. Like I know… him.
𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝
(Texts Ani) Him? Who?
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
I don’t know his name. I just… see his face. And hear his voice. It’s… chilling.
𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝
Okay, Ani. Deep breaths. Maybe you should talk to someone about this. A therapist, maybe?
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Looks out the window) (Sees a familiar building across the street)
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Gasps) That building…
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
I’ve seen it in my dreams.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Feels a sudden wave of dizziness)
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Clutches her head) The face… it’s becoming clearer…
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Whispers) Vikram…
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(The vision fades)
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Shakes her head, trying to clear her thoughts)
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
Vikram… Who is Vikram?
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Feels a strange sense of dread)
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Texts Ro) Ro… I need to see you. Something… something’s happening.
𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝
(Texts Ani) What is it? Are you okay?
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Texts Ro) I don’t know. But I think… I think I’m starting to remember.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Texts Ro) And I’m scared.
𝙍𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣/ 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝
(Texts Ani) I’m on my way. Just stay where you are.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Texts Ro) Okay.
𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙖/ 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙖
(Looks at the building again) Vikram… The name echoes in her mind, sending shivers down her spine. She knows, with a chilling certainty, that her life is about to change forever.
