Lost in His pursuit

The book remained in his hand as he stared blankly at it without much thought.

(The campus area-school.)

" Has anybody kidnapped her." Alistair thought ,as he looked at the book .

Alistair tried to make some sense as he was holding the book , he was staring at it to find whether the book had any kind of 'rear ' or 'tear'.

To his surprise the book was perfectly fine as nothing had happened .Moreover if really Rose was kidnapped than wouldn't that mean there should be some sign or sound but there was none.

"Could it be that Rose has mistakenly dropped it, and now she was at her home." Thought Alistair ,while trying to give her imagination a valid reason. 

Nobody , in their right mind could possibly think that a book dragged a living person inside. It was just impossible to think.

"I should go to Rose's home and check her." Murmured he, and he put that book inside his bag .

Then , he remembered that he didn't know where Rose lived ,how could he possibly find her.

He was now feeling stressful, it was as like someone has ripped his heart muscles and inserted some needles inside it to torture him.

The nerves in his muscular hands were visible ,they were strained and cold sweat was dripping out of his body , his strong legs were shivering with fear as if they would give up any moment. 

"How can I find her home? I don't know anything about her personal life." he thought ,he had realised by now that she barely knew anything about Rose except in school.

He never asked her about her home or life because it didn't seem important nir had she ever visited her house , whenever they used to study together they would visit the city library to study.

So visiting each other's house never took place.

However, God still pitied him and that's why when she was staring blankly an idea emerged suddenly as the electricity came back after the huge storm. 

"I…I can trespass into the school document room and find out about her address." He thought.

He knew that if he asked their principal , he would never tell them about the address and more complexity may arise but what if he does it without notice.

It was illegal and he knew he could be sent to jail or at least would be banned from school but that doesn't matter .His top priority is to Find Rose. 

He then ran towards the room ,he found that a guard was patrolling the area ,in fact the 'document room' is a separate area where guards patrolled 24 hours .

"I have to somehow reach the first floor balcony." he thought, as he  hid himself behind some bushes ,where a tree was planted and they were in front of the gate.

That was a strategic position to estimate the move of entering into the building.

Then he found that a pipeline was attached to the side of a building and she went on running there as soon as the guard changed the position to check another area.

He then sprung up and that led him climb up to the pipeline as he was very athletic that's why it was easy for her.

As soon as he started to climb her hands slid and made a 'thump ' noise on the steel surface of the line which was loud enough for the guard to come back running and check if something was wrong.

"Who is there?"shouted the guard turning to all his sides .He was searching for something when suddenly he saw a cat jumped out of the push and ran away.

"So,it's a cat ." He sighed as he  checked one more time and went towards the other side to check for any intruders.

"I am safe ." Thought Alistair, as he took a breath of relief.

He was standing with one leg on the outer railing and another on a little stand of the pipeline.

He then jumped onto the balcony , the window was open to her surprise but he didn't think much about that and went inside the room.

He ignited her flashlight , and saw a room full of documents and lockers.

Now the main problem was how would he find the locker where Rose's documents are left.

He then started searching all the area and after forty-minutes of 'soul searching ' he finally saw a locker with the number (567031). he recognized it at once because she had seen this number on Rose's 'I'd ' card .

He then took out a safty pin and started opening the locker. Actually he knew how to open a lock with a pin hence it was not hard for him.

"The saying which says ,that no talent is wasted.Is surely write. '' he thought ,as he opened the locker.

"If I was caught now, how many days would I have to serve in prison?"thought he and a smirk came to his lips.This was no time for a joke but with a bit of humour at least he could feel a little less scared.

"Knchi", a sound was heard ,the Locker had opened . He hurriedly went through the documents.

Suddenly his hands trembled ,the documents fell to the ground and a big shiver ran down his body, his eyes were wide open and it felt like he had seen something scary.

"No ,how can it happen?" Said he, hurriedly picked up the documents to recheck them.However the more she checked the more scared she got.

It was like something possessed him ,he after reading it just looked at the photo for some more time .

"Maybe it's all a mistake. I unlocked the wrong locker ",he thought ,and started checking the number once more but it was the same in fact every detail was the same except her.

The photo of the student that was placed in the documents was of some other girl ,it was not Rose ,no it was not her,the details were the same but just it was not her.

Learning that ,his whole world shook up and he felt like her world was crushed down and like maybe it's a dream and he would wake up soon.

It was a terrible dream and all she wanted was to wake up as soon as possible and see Rose again on her desk reading her books.

As he thought that two drops of tears fell from his eyes and his heart ached so much…..
