What happened until now? -
From past 1 year, 17 students were kidnapped fromThe Modern Oxfordschool and this time it was Aaron. Aaron’s sister Aleyna and her friends Finn, Simon, Ben and Eric were planning something for days to find the kidnapper but it didn’t went as planned. Meanwhile, Finn took his friends to Eric’s room from his basement in a flash of second with the help of a crystal that was kept in Eric’s room.

“This crystal is the reason why we are able to see Eric’s room“. Finn turned around while tossing the crystal in his hands.

“Wow dude. We always knew there was something different about you. Where did you get these teleporting Crystals from?” Ben jumped out of excitement from the bed.

“This ain’t no teleporting crystal Ben. These crystals are just a source of connection. They remain connected with each other and with the 4th dimensional world.” Aleyna crossed her arms.

“What the fuck is she saying?” Ben looked at Simon and Eric giving a crumbled expression.

“You aren’t exactly in Eric’s room right now. I mean you are, but nobody can see you because you are in the 4th Dimension.” Finn tried to explain.

“And what is that?” Simon picked up the hockey stick kept by the wall. “Everything looks pretty real”.

“It is real. Infact we might be the one who aren’t real here.” Aleyna explained.

Ben looked at everyone’s body and then his own. “Ofcourse we are real !!”He poked Simon to check.

“While we are in the 4th dimension, our bodies are still back there in Finn’s basement, standing there motionless. We are……….” Aleyna was interrupted.

“It’s enough knowledge for a day. Let’s get back to finding Aaron and other kids.” Finn interrupted and rubbed his hands off. Eric’s room turned again into Finn’s basement.

Eric was standing there all shocked and pale.

“Oh so that’s why you always asked us to carry it. Hey wait. Aleyna !! You already knew about it?“ Simon looked at Aleyna in shock.

Aleyna nodded her head and looked at Finn in doubt if she should speak this time or not.

“Aaron’s crystal was found outside the forest in his clothes. Seems like the kidnapper is a wise one.“ Finn said and his basement again turned into the forest boundaries where between them all were lying Aaron’s clothes.

“They threw away Aaron’s schoolbag long before they reached here.“ Finn picked up Aaron’s shorts and took out the crystal from there. “Fortunately they didn’t take off his clothes that quick so it’s quite clear that whoever took Aaron and other students, he is somewhere inside the woods.“ Finn turned around and pointed towards the forest with the crystal in one hand.

“Oh my god, poor kid! Who takes off a child’s clothes man ! I am afraid what are they doing to the kids.“ Simon expressed his concern.

Finn looked at Simon and they all were brought back to the basement.

“It’s time. Wear some protective clothes, pick up your safety bag. Recheck the list I gave you guys to fill those bags with. Don’t miss anything and YES. Also add a knife to the list for emergency.” Finn instructed.

“Okay! The moment we were waiting for from so many months has finally arrived.” Said Simon.

“Indeed. Meet me outside the forest in half an hour” Finn added.

“Cool.” Ben nodded and went back upstairs with Simon and Eric.

“I will also go and pack my things.” Aleyna stepped towards the stairs.

“I will come with you.” Finn said and picked up the bag on his shoulders that was kept beside him.

Aleyna looked at him with a slight smile.

“What?” Finn lifted his shoulders.”I am already ready.”

“Okay. Let’s go then.” Aleyna and Finn walked upstairs.

“Where do you think he got these crystals from.” Eric asked Simon while their way back to home.

“How would I know? He never tells us anything.” Simon said. “He always seemed to me as if he is lost somewhere. Now I understand. He might have actually been lost all the time, in the 4th dimension.”

“I never believed such things man. I still feel it’s all a dream.” Eric looked below while walking, lost in deep thoughts.

Simon slapped him all of a sudden and ran away. “Was just making sure if it’s a dream.” He turned around while still stepping backwards.

“Arrghhh. I am not going to leave you.” Eric ran after him. Simon laughed and ran faster.

“I really am sorry about Aaron. Since long we were waiting for someone amongst us 5 to be kidnapped. It’s sad that it happened to be your brother instead.” Finn spoke while on the way towards Aleyna’s place.

“Don’t say sorry. I should thank you instead for giving those crystals to everyone’s siblings in the group.” Aleyna gave a hopeful smile.

“Of course. I could not take the risk. I planned everything in a manner to get myself kidnapped but I was still not noticed by the kidnapper.” Finn expressed his disappointment.

“You are doing so much for us Finn. You came out of nowhere and took admission in the school in mid of the year just to save us all. I don’t know who is behind the kidnapping and what will happen next, but no matter what, I will always be thankful to you. We all would be.” Aleyna looked at Finn.

“Shhhh.” Finn shushed at her. “Others should not know about this.”

“Yes. Sorry.” Aleyna shook her eyes around to check if someone was listening. “Hey, why did you interrupt me in the basement when I was…..?”Aleyna bounced with the question.

“They should only know what’s required. They might panic when they will know the complete truth.” Finn answered.

“Yeah. Pretty Logical.” Aleyna nodded her head.

“Wait here. I need to buy something.” Finn stopped by a marble shop and ran inside.

“Why do we need 3 boxes of marbles?” Aleyna came from behind.

“You will get to know.” Finn kept two of the boxes in the bag and held the third one in his hand. “My bag is full. We will keep this one in your’s. Let’s go to your place.” Finn raised the box to show it to Aleyna and they both walked further.

“Isn’t it dangerous to go into the forest all alone”. Eric said to Ben standing outside the forest.

“There are no animals here. Everybody knows that Eric.” Ben looked at his watch while waiting for Aleyna and Finn.

“Yes but there is always a possibility to find snakes in a forest and of course THE KIDNAPPERS !! Shouldn’t we call the cops instead and tell them that we found Aaron’s clothes.” Eric raised his hand to show the clothes he was holding. “They will take it further.”

“You should not underestimate Finn.” Aleyna and Finn came running.

“She is just kidding. We already left a note in Aleyna’s house that we are going to the forest to find Aaron. Her parents will obviously call the cops to find us. Until then, let’s go and make their job easy.” Finn gasped. “We can’t wait until something happens to Aaron.”

“Yes. Great !! So what’s the plan?” Simon asked.

“We all will divide. Ben and Eric, you will go straight from here.” Finn pointed straight into the forest. “Aleyna and Simon, you both will go to the diagonal right.” Finn pointed straight to the right into the forest. “I will go the straight left.” Finn pointed towards the left side from where he was standing.

“You will go all alone?” Simon showed his concern.

“Do we have a choice?” Finn pulled off his bag from his shoulders and elicited the box with shiny green transparent pebbles in it. “Hold this and keep dropping pebbles all your way so that there is no risk involved of loosing you guys.” Finn gave the box to Ben.

“What about Simon and Aleyna?” Eric jumped up with his question.

“I already have a box.” Aleyna took out the box of pink pebbles kept in her bag.

“But we have the crystal with us. Why do we need the pebbles?” Simon tapped his pocket to show where he had kept it.

“Yes but the cops can’t find you with the crystal. Only I can !!” Finn answered.

“Oh yeah.” Simon nodded.

“Let’s go now. Remember, whoever would find anything suspicious, just stay low and hide. I will keep a look at you guys through the crystal. DON’T EVER LOOSE IT !! And if you don’t find anything on your way, come back here and wait for the cops. Leave the rest on me !!” Finn instructed. “And Eric, keep the crystal but leave the clothes back. Cops would need a solid proof to follow us to the forest.”

“Okay.” Eric did as was asked of him and they all went in the 3 directions into the deep forest.

There at Aleyna’s home, Mrs. Jane found the letter left by Finn and Aleyna in Aleyna’s room.

“Oh my God.” She kept her hand on her mouth in distress and ran to Mr. Anderson.

“Read this !! Oh my god.” She started weeping. “Both our children are in danger.”

Mr. Anderson read the letter. “This boy Finn !!” He stood up in anger. “I always got a feeling there is something wrong about him.” He pressed the letter tightly. “Now he took our daughter in the forest all alone. What the hell does he think of himself. I am not going to leave him.” Peter walked out of the house all annoyed towards his car. Jane followed.

“The police station is that way.” Jane pointed towards the other side from the one Peter drove towards.

“First I am going to kick Finn’s father’s ass, so that his son never disturbs Aleyna again.” Peter turned around the steering wheel harshly.

“Oh comeon !! Aleyna’s safety comes first and he is just trying to help. They are kids Peter. Don’t always let your anger rule you !! Let’s go to the cops !!”Jane shouted.

Peter took out his phone and called the sheriff.

“Yes Mr. Anderson. Did you receive any call from the kidnapper?” Sheriff picked the phone.

“No, but Aleyna and Finn went to the forest with the other kids. They left a letter saying that they have found Aaron’s clothes there.” Peter kept on driving.

“The forest?” Sheriff sounded surprised. “Okay. We will go and check.”

“Also, keep that guy Finn away from Aleyna if you find them.” Peter hurried before the call disconnected.

“Ahan !!” Sheriff agreed and cut the call. “One possessive dad !!” He murmured.

Jane was still looking at Peter in complete disappointment.

“Now Aleyna is safe.” Peter said while still trying to focus on driving. “But not Mr. Axeman’s ass !!!” He uttered and drove rash.

Ding dong. The bell rang at Finn’s place.

Peter waited for a few seconds and pressed the bell again. Ding Dong.

“Seems like no one is home.” Jane looked at Peter. “Let’s go back.”

“I am not going to leave this asshole this time. Last time he wanted you and now he is sending his son to spoil my daughter !! I know it’s all his master plan. He hates me !” Peter lashed out and pressed the bell again.

“Come on Peter. We were in college that time. Why can’t you just forget that !! It all was a long time back .” Jane sighed.

“Why the hell is he not opening the door?” Peter ringed the bell again. Ding Dong.

“It’s enough Peter. He left the city 12 years back with his family.” Jane yelled.

“Then why did he come back now? He should have stayed away from you. I warned him so many times, and this time it’s about Aleyna. I am going to beat him to death today.” Peter kicked the door and shook the door handle.

“What are you doing? Have you lost it?” Jane looked at him in complete surprise while he kept on striking the door to break it open.

He looked around to find something to break the door.

“What are you doing?” Jane yelled.

Peter picked up a big rock from the garden and threw it at the door to break it open. He stepped inside in anger and shouted. “Where are you coward?” He ran to the nearest room to look for him. Jane ran after him.

“Please calm down Peter. Oh god what’s wrong with you?” She panicked.

Peter went room to room looking for Mr. Axeman.

“See I told you no one is home and you even broke the door now.” Jane ran after him to keep a check.

After searching the complete house Peter saw the door to the basement.

“So here you are !!” He opened the door and climbed downstairs. He searched behind tables and in the corners but found noone.

“Can we please go to find Aleyna now.” Jane panted and sat on the chair kept in the middle of the basement when suddenly the television switched on. Jane jumped back up to see that she sat on the remote.

“Offo” she picked the remote to shut down the television.

“Wait wait wait.” Peter came running and baulked his hand in front of the remote while his eyes still gazed at the television.

“Mom, mom it’s hurting.” A blue skinned five year old child cried in different voices of male and female lying on a stretcher with 1 doctor trying to inject him and 4 assistants holding him tightly. All the things kept in the room were floating in the air and the lights flipping on and off.

“Leave me. Leave me !!!” The kid wiggled and screamed with his skin’s color changing continuously but mostly switching to blue.

Peter shrunk his eyes and stepped forward to look carefully. To his surprise, he saw some parts of the kid’s body vanishing and coming back. He saw many transparent reflections of his body wriggling lying on the stretcher as if it were trying to release itself but were held back forcefully.

“It’s okay sweety. The doctors will cure you.” Her mother sobbed and wiped her tears.

“Is it Mrs. Axeman.” Jane’s eyes suddenly enlarged.

“Yes. And this kid is Finn.” Peter looked at Jane all horrified.
