After
31 January
PIA POINT OF VIEW:
"This is where Maithili broke her
last breath. The unfinished story of her life still brings a shiver down my
spine. If Abhay was really who I thought-Abhendra- and a vampire he would
surely come to save me. This would be the right place to start his story where
it had abruptly ended. He would find a way to his love and I… would find mine.
I was sure Abhay would come. I don't think he would let me stay here much
longer than a few minutes would he? He would be scared something might happen
here again…
I sat on the dry hay and looked
around the place. It was old and shabby, but then I caught the real sight. The
walls were burnt badly and the dim moonlight lit them with a certain glow that
was enchanting. Suddenly something caught my eyes… a scrape on the wall? I
stood up and went to it. I brushed my fingers through it and imagine… flashes
of the treacherous flame came in… I could feel my skin burning. Though it was
just a fiction of my imagination it seemed as if it was me standing there. She
had made the scrapes on the wall, while she burned awaiting her beloved to come
and rescue her… but he never came. I took a sharp breath in when I heard a
shrill cry of a wolf. I stiffened. Lately I have grown a disliking towards
wolves…
I looked back and I saw a figure.
A man, it was evident. His hands were in his pocket as if he was tired and
wanted to retire and walked towards me.
"Abhay?" I whispered into the darkness.
The silence didn't break only the rustle of the leaves were audible making me
realizing someone's presence. Though I couldn't see who it was, I was sure it
wasn't Abhay. Something about this man was strange.
I scrutinized the figure
carefully trying to find out who it was. The moonlight just made the corner of
his lips glow which were turned up in an evil grin. I gulped a lump in my
throat and automatically took a step back. I heard a dark chuckle from the
other side and another figure appeared from behind the male one.
"Who is there?" I managed to
choke out. My throat was dry and speaking louder than that seemed impossible to
me now.
"Pia" a familiar female voice
came. Though it was familiar it was strangely different, growling would be a
better word.
"Who… are you" I mumbled under my
breath. Though I knew who they were, I couldn't believe myself. What would they
be doing here in the middle of the night doing nothing? They must be trying to
protect their little secret… Abhay's words about danger of knowing about
vampires came into my mind. Did they kill anyone who suspected they were
vampires? I stuttered back.
Two arms held me from both sides
now and I struggled like a trapped lamb. Wow what a comparison, I thought
sourly and concentrated on my struggling.
"Pia, stay still and it wont hurt
at all we promise" they said. I panicked all the more.
"Mr and Mrs Raichand what are you
doing?" I asked urgently.
"Pia you know too much about us-
the vampires- and we cant afford to let you live can we? You might just run
around telling our secret" they said with mock irritation. They seemed to quite
enjoy this little conversation.
"Vampires?" I mumbled under my
breath. I was right Abhay was a vampire. I knew it from all along.
"Oops did we just tell our secret?"
they said with mock horror and I shook my head. Growls rumbled in their chests
and I shut up, for an instance. A light breeze blew by me and then she said
something unexpected.
"Abhay" she confirmed and
instantly a smile spread across my face. He was here, as always to be by my
side when I needed him the most. My angel, I repeated again.
"Leave her" His voice was
protective and close but I couldn't decipher were it was coming from. They
didn't let go of my hand but instead their grip became tighter. I flinched as
my hand stung. A low growl vibrated in the room making me tremble slightly with
fear.
The two left my side and soon I
could here noises. Rather howls and snapping noises as if they were trying to
rip themselves apart…
A long distant voice caught my
attention. "Run Pia. I need you to run as fast as possible. I cant hold them
back for much longer" the voice seemed strained and I felt the need to comfort
him but another urgent warning send me back.
I could feel the cool air of the
forest whipping across my face making my hair fly and become a mess. I didn't
care at first but then I saw them.
Blue and savage eyes filled with
blood lust. They were fighting like vampires. This was the second time I had
seen him like this. The fear took over me. This couldn't be. He couldn't be
like this. He couldn't be savage and monstrous, I couldn't have loved him if he
was. All I knew was that I was consoling myself. I ran again and this time I
feel real hard. The tears had started rolling down my face and I hadn't even
noticed.
I wished I hadn't tried to trick
Abhay into coming… I wouldn't have seen him like… this. I didn't like this
Abhay. He seemed aggressive not like the caring protective and strong one I
knew. This was a whole new Abhay and he was just as bad as compared to 'my'
Abhay's goodness.
I got back on my feet. I could
feel the adrenaline pumping through my system. This time I didn't stop, I
didn't look back. I just ran till I reached my room.
I slumped into the bad and curled
up into a ball pulling my knees uncomfortably close to my head holding my body
together from collapsing.
I couldn't have fallen in love
with such a person. Was I so wrong about him? Was he really meaning every word
he spoke when he warned me to stay away from him?
I took a deep breath. What am I
doing? I am just blaming him. Maybe that is his natural instinct, he was built
that way. He cant possibly help it. And why am I acting so selfish? He behaved
like that because he was trying to save my life. That was all. Abhay was good.
