Bewitched His Soul

When she walked towards the boat she noticed there was a man standing there. It was totally dark with only moonlight shinning and the man had his back towards her.

"Hey…,"Evelyn poked his shoulder.

"I will call you back ,"the man stated and cut the call.

After keeping the phone in his pocket ,he turned around.

"Evelyn , what are you doing here ,"Daniel frowned.

Evelyn looked at Daniel curiously and asked in a curious tone ,"Who are you ."

She moved closer to him and was about to touch his face when he stopped her by holding her wrist.  Daniel was not very uncomfortable with any sort of physical touch and maintained certain distance with everyone. She stared at him with such concentration of a scientist hoping to guess who the person in front of her was.

"You are Daniel ,"Evelyn giggled as if she has cracked some nuclear code .

"Move, I don't have time for this ,"Daniel spoke in an impatient tone.

He thought Evelyn was teasing him like always and went to climb into the boat . He was in a hurry and could not afford to waste time engaging in silly conversations with Evelyn.

"What are you doing , come let's play a game ,"Evelyn held his arm.

"Stop it , I have no time for your childish games ,"Daniel pushed her hand rudely.

"You are a bad guy , you are a meanie .I don't want to be friends with you ,"Evelyn started to hit his chest .

"What wrong with you , where is your crew ,"Daniel sneered. 

He was so tensed thinking about his work that he failed to notice that there is something wrong with Evelyn. One of the perks about the alcohol she drank was that it does not give you a heavy smell.

"Where are they ,"Evelyn replied his question by another question.

Evelyn looked around and said in a sad tone ,"I think they are lost . Let's find them."

Daniel was getting frustrated by her actions and pinched the space between his eyebrows.

"Look Evelyn I know you like to prank me but there is a time and place for everything and that is not now . Quickly go join your crew ,it's not safe to be alone ,"Daniel tried to explain her.

"Okay ,"Evelyn replied obediently .

Daniel was relieved and thought she will go back .He climbed the boat and checked the time as the boatman was late by ten minutes. Didn't his subordinate instruct the boatman saying they are going on an important mission so how can he be so careless.

He took out his phone to give a call when suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Boo…,"Evelyn screamed but was disappointed when he did not look scared.

"Can't you understand if I say once ,"Daniel snapped.

"Why are you not scarred ,"Evelyn asked in an irritated tone.

"Get out of here ,"Daniel yelled at her but she shook her head.

"You are playing in the boat alone , you don't want to take me with you ,"Evelyn accused him.

"That's it , I cannot tolerate you anymore ,"Daniel held her arm tightly and dragged her.

"Hey stop ,its paining ,"Evelyn was whining but Daniel paid no attention to it.

Just when he was about to throw her out of the boat , the wind blow heavily and the boat started to shake.

Daniel noticed that someone has removed the rope from anchor which resulted in the boat moving.

"I did it ,"Evelyn said proudly , when Daniel thought Evelyn went back she was silently removing the rope.

"Do you even know what you did ,"Daniel roared.

"I want to go to the moon ,"Evelyn said seriously pointed her finger towards the sky.

"I will ..,"Daniel's words were cut off as the tides were becoming high because of bad weather.

In fact  no boatman has come forward saying they felt the weather conditions were not suitable for rowing but since there was some emergency Daniel could not delay his journey and bribed one of the boatman with a large amount to take him to the other side.

"Ahh..,"Evelyn started to scream as the boat was shaking.

"Hold the edge tightly and don't move ,"Daniel instructed and went to find the rowing sticks .Luckily he found them and started to row.

"It's looks so fun, I want to do it ,"Evelyn ignored his instructions and went to stand beside him.

Daniel has no mood to talk with her and was putting all his energy to take the boat to the shore.

"Give me, give me ,"Evelyn started to snatch the sticks from his hand.

"Evelyn , be serious .If we don't reach the shore then I cannot say whether we will be alive or not ,"Daniel scolded her.

"No , its looks so cool .I want to do it ,"Evelyn held the stick and tried to pull it from his hands.

Daniel pushed Evelyn harshly that she lost balance and was about to fall into the sea. He panicked and tried to pull her towards him and in the process he dropped the rowing sticks down.

Evelyn closed her eyes and was so scared thinking this is the end. Fortunately Daniel held her before there was any mishap and let out a breath in relief.

"Go stand there ,"Daniel  scolded her.

Evelyn slowly opened her eyes and her gaze fell on the rowing sticks .Before Daniel can go near them Evelyn ran to take them. 

"Evelyn no , keep it back ,"Daniel yelled.

Evelyn tried to copy Daniel and started to row but since the sticks were heavy she could not hold it and dropped them into the water.

"Shit..,"Daniel cursed and ran his hands through his hair.

Evelyn's eyes widened and she gulped in fear .Daniel slowly walked towards her and Evelyn got to know that she has made him very angry.

"What .Did.You .Do ,"Daniel snapped each word coldly and his eyes were blood red.

"I …I ,"Evelyn stammered.

"Speak ,"Daniel roared and Evelyn shivered ,when she opened her mouth no voice came and put her hands on her head as if she was feeling dizzy.

"Hey stop pretending ,I am not going to spare you ,"Daniel narrowed his eyes .
