    Priya was rushed to the hospital. The doctor informed Priya's mom that her leg was badly injured and that she might never walk again. The news left them in shock.

    Priya's Grandpa entered the room, his disapproval for her dancing evident. He believed that this incident was the consequence of her passion for dance.

    As she raised her head, Priya saw a shadow at the entrance of the hall. She squinted her eyes, trying to make out who it was. The figure started to move towards the light.
