Fatal - Chapter 5

A man wearing a black leather suit along with a red cape , was standing in front of me and introduces himself as Ben , the boy who met me yesterday . I could not believe my eyes and my mouth was held open in confusion . I started to rub my eyes and after a while, when I opened my eyes it was the same Ben . His muscular body was back to normal and he was again a mid seventeen boy with a pleasant face . But I saw a man speaking to me and proclaimed that he is Ben , then where he vanished . It seemed so real to me that I am confused now or rather it must be mine an another false imagination .

” Hello Victor ” said Ben .

Victor – ” Hi , how are you ? ”

Ben – ” Fine and you . ”

Victor – ” Fine ”

Ben – ” Why were you rubbing your eyes so forcibly when you saw me ? ”

Victor ( to himself ) – ” If I tell him that I saw a muscular man in place of him then he will make fun of me and will surely spread this news in our school campus that I am mad and this will definitely put a bad portrait of mine in front of Callie , which I can’t afford .

Victor – ” Some…. some tiny dust particles went inside my eyes so I was trying to take them out by rubbing my eyes . ”

Ben – ” You should be doing this gently as it can cause permanent or temporary damage to your eyes . ”

Victor – ” Yes , I know but I was in pain and could hardly see anything . ”

Ben – ” Now , are you feeling good .”

Victor – ” Ya , ya all good but why did you stopped me ? ”

Ben – ” Yes , I wanted to continue our conversation from where I left it yesterday. ”

Victor – ” Okay , sure but I wanted to continue our conversation in the school but you didn’t arrive to the school today . ”

Ben – ” Hmm, yes I urgently had to go somewhere else that is why I was not able to come to the school . ”

Victor – ” Okay , for what work . ”

Ben – ” Sorry but can’t tell you it’s a bit personal . ”

Victor ( to himself ) – ” Victor , don’t be a jerk you have met him yesterday and expecting that he will tell you his personal works . ”

Victor – ” Okay , no problem . Let’s resume our conversation from where we left it yesterday .”

Ben – ” Yes , I wanted to tell you that….. ”

[Victor’s phone starts to ring]

Victor ( to Ben ) – ” Please excuse me for a moment . ”

Victor ( answers to the caller ) – ” Yes ”

The Caller – ” Good evening Sir , can I talk to Master Victor . ”

Victor – ” Yes , I am Victor whose there the other side . ”

The Caller – ” I am Bruce and I would like to tell you that you have been selected for the inter-school debate competition . ”

Victor ( to himself ) – ” What he is talking about ? I have been selected for the inter-school debate competition , but I don’t remember that I have volunteered for any such competition . ”

Bruce – ” Hello , Master Victor are you there ?”

Victor – ” Yes ,yes I am listening. Go ahead . ”

Bruce – ” Kindly prepare yourself for the competition and if you have any query regarding this competition you can contact me .”

Victor – ” Sure , but I …”

[ The call disconnects ]

Strange he didn’t wait for my response . I turned back and found that Ben was missing . I shouted his name several times but no response came to me . ”

Victor ( to himself ) – ” He must have to go somewhere else he would have waited for me . He is a strange boy and our conversation remains incomplete . Let me meet him in the school to finally complete this conversation . ”

On my way I saw a strange sight , there was a huge hole on the road and when I peeped inside the hole I saw some heavenly objects revolving around a dark planet in a zig – zag manner and were colliding against each other . I shouted ” this can’t be real ” . To confirm this I tried to touch the hole with my foot and no sooner did I touched it than it disappeared and the road was back to normal . I was shocked and was still standing in the middle of the road and the vehicles were blowing their horn at me. I was so scared that I ran towards my house as fast as I could and locked myself in my room .

I shouted at the peak of my voice ” Why are these things happening with me ? ”

I wanted to call up my parents but I couldn’t as I knew that my parents will never believe in my truth and may be it’san another stupid illusions of mine as I am not aware of what is real ? and what is fake ? But I need to talk to someone firstly , Silas’s name came to my mind but on thinking further that this thing will disturb him as well and may be to a greater extent I changed my decision and called Jacob .
