Turn of Events an arm around my shoulder. I didn't know
Progoti Roy
I opened my eyes and had no idea
where I was. I found myself on the floor of a
red-lit room. My head felt heavy and my
body felt like it’s been hit by a car.
Subsequently, I slowly started to gather
myself and attempted to find a way out.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps heading
towards the room I was in. Hence, I quickly
stood up and hid behind a metal furniture.
“Is she in here?” asked the unknown voice.
“Yes, but she might be unconscious,”
answered another person, but this time it
was a woman and the voice sounded
familiar too. I was as scared as a rabbit in a
wolf’s den for what’s and who’s to come.
I held my breath in as the door
creaked open. “Are you sure she was kept in
here?”, asked the deep voice. “Oh my god... I
swear she was in here just a few minutes
ago,” the woman answered slightly worried.
“Hmm, I think I know how to find her,” he
said. I was still confused about my
whereabouts. Out of nowhere, I heard a
whistle and it wasn’t just any whistle. It was
the secret whistle which only my father and
I used with each other. Without hesitation, I
came out from my hiding place and tears
started to run down my cheeks. I saw a
man wearing all black and a woman
wearing office wear. I was shocked when I
realised she was my own oldest sister.
“Hi Juliet, my name is Dexter
Morgan,” said the man in black. “I'm so
sorry for your father's loss; he was a really
good human being inside and out. We were
like brothers,” he continued. I could see my
sister getting teared u.“I'm sure you are
really bewildered by all of this...” “This
wasn't supposed to happen like this but-”
he said with pity. “Oh just say it now, will
you?” I said impatiently. He took a deep
breath before saying, “A few years ago, your
father and I decided to start a secret agency
called ‘The Knights world’”. “Come on, let
me show you around,” he said while putting
to feel excited or nervous.
“We try to keep the uninvited guests
away from our world”, he said while
accompanying me to a dark hallway. All the
lights started to switch on following our
footsteps. I saw many equipments and gears
which were out of the ordinary. On top of
that, it looked like weapons to kill
something which for sure wasn't human.
“Welcome to the ‘Knights world’. Here we
train the youth to protect the real world
from unwanted evil creatures,” he
continued. I couldn’t believe what I was
hearing. Secret agency? Evil creatures? Am
I dreaming? “We recruit youth starting from
the age 18... Unfortunately, we couldn’t wait
for you to turn 18 due to John’s sudden
death,” he said while ushering me into a
room. “Jake!!!” I screamed and ran to hug
my brother when I saw him. My older
cousins were there too. That was when I
realized that they didn't leave for college but
to participate in this agency.
I was still trying to digest everything
when unexpectedly a siren went off. “That
can't be good” I said to myself. “It's
happening, quick grab all your equipments
and gears!” said my brother in urgency.
“Remember all the self- defence tactics Dad
taught you? he asked. “Yes? But why?” I
asked in utter confusion. “No time for
questions, follow me!” he replied while
pulling my hand. The place was in utter
chaos. It was almost like in the movies. Out
of the blue, I saw a huge reptile-like
creature heading towards us. I was so
frightened. At that moment, I saw a smaller
creature heading towards my brother from
the side. I ran as fast as I could towards
him to let him know but on my way to him
another creature attacked me from the
back. The last thing I heard before blacking
out was my brother screaming my name. I
woke up when I heard my mother calling
my name. It was a dream all along....
