In a world not so different from our where every girl have power- whenever they fell asleep or lost consciousness, their souls would drift freely, unseen by others. Nights were not as lonely as they seemed. But this is not something they has before this also sudden surprised for them.
They could glide through the night like whispers in the wind, passing through walls, soaring over cities, and even stepping into the bodies of others like wearing a new dress. But by dawn, they always returned to their own bodies, as if nothing had happened.
Some girls used this to explore, some to seek answers, but for many, it was the only time they felt truly free.
Now they can roam around even whole night without any fear no one going to kidnap, misbehave or mostly ra*p*d, they can wear anything and no one going to stare them with their lustful eyes at least in night which is also belong to all girls with no fear.
Anvi had always hated the rules that bound her. "Come home before dark". " don't go outside after evening". Even in day time "go with your brother don't go alone". "Don't wear taht". "Don't talk back". She understood why- they were meant to protect her. But wasn't it unfair that danger lurked for her, no not only for her but for all girls no matter what's their age , but others roamed without fear? They roamed freely but because of them some got restrictions the world is unfair specially with girls but it's seems God wants little change that's why she got a power like other girls.
At night, her body lay safely in bed, but her soul? It wandered where she could never go during the day. She walked through empty streets, sat on rooftops, and for ones, felt city belong to her. No catcalls, no wary glances, no one telling her where she should or shouldn't be.
One night as she drift past quiet alley she noticed a girl walking alone maybe she running from her job or somewhere else. Anvi had seen her before- saanvi, a girl from her college. She was clutching her bag tightly, her peace quickening. Three man stood at the alley's entrance, watching her, whispering. Something never changed no matter what in this situation she doesn't now whom to blame the man, their parents or God she knows not all man are smae but it's always man, all are different but their target it always fixed. Sometimes she thinks it's better if man never exist, but they exist maybe God have some good reason.
Anvi's raged burned. If only she could do something.
And then she remembered-- she could.
She didn't just have power to wander. She could step inside. Then she smirked.
A second later she was not a ghostly spector. She was inside one of the man. Her pulse sounded in hid unfamiliar body. His friends laughed, unaware that their friend was no longer himself, Anvi turned and met their eyes, and in a voice rougher than her own she growled "leave now".
Something in her gaze- something unnatural- made them step back, the moment they turned back to run, Avni pulled herself out of the man's body, letting him collapse in confusion, saanvi new what's going on she doesn't know who helped her but she is sure now she is save she thanks her savior and left from there as a girl she is also aware from this power.
That night, as Anvi returned to her own skin, she felt something new-not just freedom but power. If the world would not Change for girls, than maybe, just maybe, they would change the world themselves
THE END
