Chapter Four

Athena's pov

"Are you the owner of that stone miss?" He said with his helmet still on, and yeah, he was still holding onto my wrist.

"I-I umm maybe" I said laughing nervously, and scratching my nape with my other free hand.

"Maybe?" He said while tilting his head a little. As if he was giving me a judgy look.

"I'm extremely sorry sir, I didn't meant to do it. It was because of my po- uhh nevermind, how can I pay you back?" I said while my head was hung low.

"you're a doctor right? Miss Athena Shaikh?" He said pointing the doctor's badge on my chest.

"Umm yeah, why do you ask?"

"Treat my wound secretly for free without any police's interference. That's all you'll have to do to pay me back"

" O-okay, but where do I have to treat you, like where is your wound?"

" I didn't got any, yet."

" What do you mean? Are you a gangster or something?!"

" Mind your own business and just do what I told you to"

" Fine!" I said rolling my eyes

" Come to that abandoned building, at the end of the dark alley today after 10pm to treat my wounds. And don't come in unless I call or text you. Keep in mind, you've to come alone with whatever medical supplies you need."

" Okay, gimme your number and leave my wrist for god's sake"

I said trying to free my hand from his grip. He immediately left my hand and plopped his hands into his pockets.

"** *** ** ***"

Even before he completed dictating his number, a number popped up on my screen indicating that I've dialed this number before. But I decided to not interrogate with him.

Weirddddd

He was eyeing my book i*, I immediately tucked it back in my bag.

"It's nothing" I said hesitantly. "I'll be leaving now" I bowed a little and went on my way.

•°•°•°•°

There I was, outside the abandoned, spooky, stinky and dark building with all of my necessary medical supplies.

The moonlight piercing through the faint clouds reflecting against my circular rimless specs resting on my nose bridge.

What type of war is going to occur here, that the helmet man was damn sure he'll get wounded till that extent where police will have to interfere.

I was rubbing the heels of my palms together to generate some heat followed by placing them on my icy cold red cheeks to warm them up a little. It was about 10:45 already and this dipstick still hasn't texted me yet.

What type of things I'm going through just because of that mere dent.

I was standing besides a pole infront of that building so that atleast I could rest a part of my body weight on it. My legs were hurting so bad as if they'd collapse at any possible moment. I was constantly checking my mobile for any notification from that helmet man.

'10:59' that's it, I'll be on my way to home. I can't wait any longer. I turned the heels of my foot to walk out from there but-

He said that he need to treat his wounds by me without any police's interference, it might be a severe injury if police is coming into picture at any case.

I sighed frustratedly and went into the dark building, hoping I would find him somewhere.

I passed through doorless opening of the building, it felt like I crossed an invisible shield and entered in a cold aura.

With the help of my flashlight I witnessed some smoothie thick spider webs, lizards, bats, grey wool furred grubby rat and what not expected in a typical rumoured haunted place.

I searched through all of the floors except 7th and 8th one present in this 8 story building but found not a single soul present.

While probing the 7th floor I heard some faint noises from the ceiling AKA 8th floor. Something like 2-3 men running i*?

I was standing infront of the staircase which would lead me to the 8th floor, debating with myself if I should go up or not. I was still trying to come up with a final conclusion when a male figure came into picture about 4 meters away. His back facing me. I wasn't able to see him clearly but the way his shoulders were built I was 80% sure he might be the helmet guy.

I was walking towards his direction silently,

I stretched my arm forward to tap on that man's shoulder but flinched because of my notification.

Arrogant Helmet guy: don't come in here, it's dangerous. Go back home, I'll be fine.

"Huh? Then who is h- crap!"

The 'I don't think so' helmet man got alerted by my notification too I think.

He was pointing a gun at my forehead.

"Uninvited visitors huh?" He said while stroking my open hair with the gun's nip.

I raised my hands trembling with terror. Beads of sweat rolling down my forehead.

"Coming in wasn't a good ideas Athena, hold up you have powers, You have freaking POWERS!!"

Not so sure with what should I do, I closed my eyes and was trying to focus on my powers. But before I could take any action a gunshot was heard.

It seemed as if the bullet passed through my hairs closely escaping my head.

"Did he shot me already? Am I dead? Should I open my eyes?"

"Yah!!!" I shot my eyes open on this familiar sound echoing from behind me. But before I could turn to face the owner of that voice I witnessed the gun man from before lying lifelessly on the ground with scarlet fresh blood streaming out of his left eye socket.

My gasped while covering my mouth with my sweaty palms. Eyes as wide open as

a slut's legs (lmao that was weird I'm sowwy T-T)

"Didn't I texted you to go back?!" He again yelled. This time I faced him but couldn't see him clearly because he was sitting between two gigantic pillars fully gulped in the dark shadow.

"What is that!?" I finally managed to speak.

" Just a dead body" he said with a absolutely not so concerned tone.

Before I could answer he interrupted me

"Well come and help me get up, I won't let your near death experience go in vain" he said while raising one of his arm in the air signalling me to help him.

Still his face was hidden in the darkness the only thing which propelled through it was his hand.
