A Vengeful Girl

"It's just a nightmare, My Lady. Don't think too much about it. We have to get up early tomorrow morning and go to school at six o'clock. It's just a bad dream." Bun comforted Linda, while wiping the cold sweat that had formed from her forehead.

"All right. Let me go back to sleep. Good night, Bun." Linda said, with a slight smile. After Bun saw that Linda suck into her bed covers, she left.

But Linda couldn't fall asleep again. She was still haunted by the nightmare.

She wanted to call Charles, so she picked up her phone from the nightstand and dialled his number. After a couple of rings, the phone call was cut. Linda was confused. Seconds later, she received a message from Charles saying that he was busy and would call her in the morning.

Linda wondered what Charles was busy doing at midnight. She was desperate to hear his voice. She knew that she wouldn't be able to speak to him the morning, because they were leaving early for the 2-week winter camp.

Linda dialed Charles' number again. "The number you have dialed is switched off, please redial later." Hearing that emotionless voice, Linda frowned.

What is happenning? Why isn't Charles answering his phone? It doesn't make sense! Linda thought, confused at the situation.

Charles always kept his mobile phone switched on, because he knew Linda would worry about him if she couldn't reach him.

Linda shrugged away the confusion, and tried to fall asleep. After all, she needed to wake up very early the next morning. She kept tossing and turning for a long time and finally drifted off.

Bun knocked on the door to wake Linda up the next morning.

Linda woke up and soon realised that Charles had not been home. His side of the bed was still neatly made. Linda didn't think much of it, since sometimes Charles would get busy in the office and end up sleeping there. However, it nagged her a bit that he didn't want to come see her off, since he wasn't going to see her for the next 2 weeks.
