1 Beyond Conventional Imaginations

"Her crimson hair is more red than blood. Its darker than any other red hair I've ever seen ,I wonder who she might be with such an extraordinary trait ?" whispered John ,drenching in his wild thoughts , and the answer came from his side ."Alexandra , Alexandra Heathcote . She is one of the most famous idols of the entire school, also she is the president of hunter club", revealed James.

It was the last day before the winter vacation. Cold breeze flew past their cheeks as they walked along the streets of Toronto. It wasn't any different from other days .John couldn't get a date yet. However his despair vanished into thin air drastically once after watching Alexandra through her window.

They walked together for a long time but had to part in the end. All alone John trod with a mind absorbed in thinking about Alexandra. He was so submerged in his thoughts that he couldn't hear the sound of a vehicle that chased towards him. His mental state of insentient was broken by a shrill cry ,"No!" screamed the stranger and pushed him over. They fell on top of each other. John was lucky to be rescued from such a boisterous accident.

"Are you okay?" asked the stranger. John replied "Yeah. Thanks! But who are you and why did you endangered your life to save me?"

"Kate Walker. You wouldn't know me for I m a class junior to you and it was just an innate reaction", she broke down ."I see ",replied John. After a little conversation they were about to part when she said" Um! Can I say you something that I have been wanting to since three months ?"John assured" them smiled yet tears crawled down their face. They decided to go on a date.

Eventually John's wish was granted. The decided day was Friday. John had used up all his grooming sense to look his best.

Kate appeared wearing a cute dress .Kate and John were enjoying themselves. They entered a mall and tried different outfits. Gaming parlours in Toronto are very popular and Kate won two stuffed toy out of it. They were at the coffee bar, relaxing and exchanging thoughts. The date was exhilarating and refreshing. Eventually they headed back home .When it was quite lonely and dark Kate suddenly said," Can you do something for me ?"John replied ," Yes Dear ,everything. "John wondered if she approached for a kiss . However he himself retreated saying ,"No way!"

Kate came close to his ears and said, "After analysing you I have come to a conclusion that you are not a cause of threat to our plan. Blame God for implanting such potential power inside you. "John wondered, "What in the world is she talking about ? I don't understand it. Further, this cant be the end of me!" No sooner did she say it than her true appearance surfaced out .John whispered ,"Oh Sh*t, I am done for! Lord save me from this witch." Her appearance was as ugly as her fake beauty. Before he could try to make his move she pulled out a light sword from nowhere and stabbed him with it. His right side was completely numb and he only said ,"I wish Alexandra was here! I could have at least got the opportunity of dying while lying on her lap; a true beauty." Midway , Jessy, one of John's classmates saw John and informed Alexandra . She was a well renowned witch hunter in the underworld. She belonged to the famous Heathcote family who have slayed many witches over time. Alexandra instantly teleported to the scene . Though their first meeting was a weird one but it was the one that is destined to last.

Alexandra said ,"If you want to live on then it would be clever of you to run ,else your death shall be enacted by my hands. I can't let him die you know , after all he is my dear John." She gives an assuring smile to John.

Even in his blood stricken condition he wondered ,"I don't understand what is happening but a noble lady has emerged and I fear no longer. She is so utterly beautiful! Her crimson hair is a perfect counterpart of her dark reddish eyes. In fact her appearance speaks for her softness , her radiance ,her glory and she also possesses a charming voice , a soothing one .I am bewitched by her magnificent beauty."

Kate disappeared. John was bleeding fatally ,his wound turned black yet blood gushed out rapidly . He couldn't bear it any more. Suddenly darkness grasped him.

He woke up in his bed next morning and realised it was all a nightmare. His wound didn't exist . He went to school but couldn't get over with it yet.

It was the last period when a boy came to his class and called out his name, "John ,John Hunt; you are requested by Alexandra Heathcote to visit the Hunter club after this class." John replied ,"Sure. " He wondered why he was called to that club.

After the class got over he went to the hunter club. There was no one except Alexandra . Alexandra said that all of them have gone for their respective tasks. "It's the perfect opportunity for me to reveal everything; listen carefully everything that I say, all the things that you experienced yesterday were true , Kate is real, she is a witch and I am a witch hunter and so will you be, the human world has another parallel world associated with it ,however the way to enter one from the other is banned and prevented with spells and spell masters but still some times the witches that reside in that parallel world manage to overpower the spells and kill the spell masters , thus gaining access to this world; they feed on fear and death. This is the reason why we witch hunters are alive ; We slay them with our power and you have been gifted with an extraordinary power inside you and you are destined to be a cataclysmic witch hunter, which is why she intended to kill you. You must be thinking how I know all of this ; well I 've been given this information by my superiors of my family."

John was utterly astonished. He did not know what to do or what to say but somehow this was the only explanation that seemed legit . He has comprehended that a life of enigma awaits for him.
