The Terrible Youth of Freznel : 14

            Chapter 14 : The letter 

Marldon reached Freznel's home as he was asked by his lover. He found the door locked from outside. He put his hand on the forehead, and was tensed on finding the big, shiny, silvery lock hanging on the closed latch. 

Where would Freznel go in such horrible night?? And that too after calling me as she was afraid!?!! I am getting a creepy feeling as if something is wrong with her... Marldon thought as he wiped off his sweat.

He started searching for a big stone in the garden to break open the lock. It was too dark, so he used the flashlight of his mobile. He found a hard, rocky stone, and broke the lock. He entered the house and searched for Freznel everywhere, but in vain. He didn't sleep a wink that night. He walked in Freznel's bedroom thinking what could have happened. Hours passed by... The clock struck 12. The sound of wind could be heard, and within a few seconds, it began to pour down heavily. 

Marldon spend the whole night by gazing at the falling rain drops. He saw a faint image of Frenznel dancing gracefully in the rain. He went out to touch her. But the image vanished. He realized it was his fantasization. He realized that his eyes cheated his brain and his consciousness. 

At about six o' clock in the morning, he heard a knock at the door. He opened and found a letter kept under a heavy stone in front of the door. The letter was written in big, jagged handwriting on a paper which was smeared with dirt and dust.

Hey Marldon,

Freznel is with us. You dare not complain to the police. Otherwise, I will send you the sample of Freznel's blood, and all of her blonde hair. If you don't want me to harm her, you will keep your rotten mouth shut. My eyes are always watching you. Don't try to fool me, otherwise you will lose Freznel forever.

A tear drop fell from his deep blue eyes, making a wet circle on the pale parchment. He decided to keep shut but was determined to save Freznel.
