page 17

... fast winds from the valley blew against the car,  rains lashed mercilessly  , he sat in his seat looking at the vacant seat next to him,  his heart began to sink 
Where is Daniel gone 
Perhaps she regained her consciousness  when he was changing the tyre,   debating with himself he opened the car door  to search for her around  the car, it was pitch dark and   visibility on the road was extremely poor,  he turned the headlights on, , the strong flash of light found her, , he spotted her walking towards the valley,   though  her walk was not stable,  her arms were stretched out before her as the blindfolded  move in a dark room,  she was just a few feet away from the car,  he quickly got out from the car  and  ran to catch her, she had sensed it that someone was following her, she stopped and turned to look 
Chad,  dear  I am so glad you have come  she spoke in a soft voice and moved towards him 
She explained she hit her head  injuring herself in an accident,  she wrapped herself round him in a tight embrace 
She continued how she injured herself she didn't remember,  he held her firmly removed her hands from his neck 
She began  retreating her steps  , did he injure her, she was confused,  she couldn't  understand  his new  and different  manifestation 
The  moment  suddenly transported him to his childhood,  it was  during summers,  his father's pet dog turned aggressive,  the dog bit him on his arm,  father killed his own  favorite dog
