Suddenly I felt my head aching badly, my vision was blurred, I realised I was hit on the head hard and my unconscious body was hidden in a dark room, where I found myself after I gained consciousness. I felt my head with my hand and I saw blood. I pulled myself up straight and managed to stand up by myself. Then my hands started searching for the doorknob. To my luck, I found the doorknob and pulled at it. It opened with a loud screeching sound and I thought I was caught. Luckily, the corridor was empty and I came out of the room without any trouble. But destiny had planned something else for me... something very unexpected l horrifying. I made my way to the staircase to climb down but my head was aching so badly and I felt so weak, I didn't get the strength to walk ahead. But I knew I had to escape from wherever I was. So I started climbing down, step by step, when suddenly, I heard footsteps. I was seven steps down already. The footsteps seemed to be climbing upstairs, coming towards me. I was just puzzled up. I couldn't understand what should I do. After long trials, I managed seven steps down, and if I try to go back, it will take me double the time I needed to climb down. The footsteps paced fast. I understood that by no time the person will reach me and I'll be in great trouble! But before I think anything else, I felt my head spinning, my legs started trembling and being unable to balance myself, I fell to the ground and fainted. Long time later, when I gained consciousness, I felt something soft behind me. I sat up straight and found myself lying on the bed. Last time I was laid on the ground and this time on the bed. This time I didn't feel much weak and I could stand by myself and I could see the doorknob due to the thin ray of light entering the room through a small hole at the wall. I opened the door and stepped out. I walked ahead, and this time, being more careful. I headed towards the staircase, climbed down the stairs and while I walked forward, I suddenly heard whispering sounds-like people whispering something- something very secret-as the whispering was too low. I placed my ear on the door and started to listen. I could hardly listen to them, as they spoke so softly, but I managed to hear some words-:

kid-nap, kill the victim as soon as possible, escape from here,... etcetera.

I was wondering what I'll hear next, I was very terrified by what I had heard. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I swallowed hard. I turned around and saw a big dark figure-standing opposite to the light , thus making me unable to see his face properly. I prepared to run , but the hand held me so tight, I could barely move. It wasn't ready to leave me. Now my shoulder started to ache, ached badly, but I didn't give up. I burst out of his grip and ran at full speed until I was stopped by another figure-this man was bigger than the previous one and seemed to be very much stronger. He caught me by my shoulder-at the same spot on my shoulder where the previous man had grabbed me. This time, he gripped very hard, and ...and...it ached so badly! I thought I couldn't escape this time...Then the man started pulling me towards the building where they had kidnapped and hid me. I failed to escape. He then pushed me hard and I fell to the ground unconscious.

Later, when I gained consciousness, I

found myself laying on the bed in my room. It was morning-10 :00am- I saw from my window. I woke up too late! But I was glad that I was home and all that happened was just a nightmare! I then freshened up and sat down to study. Suddenly, I felt my elbow aching. The same pain I felt in my nightmare. I placed my hand on my shoulder and what I felt was unexpected! I felt the print of fingers- as if someone had grabbed me tightly by the shoulder. I went to the mirror and looked at my shoulder- I was speechless! Five-Finger print!

Did that mean I was actually kidnapped!?

Whatever happened was reality and not a nightmare!

I was speechless- with mixed feelings-

no answer to my question.....
