The Journal
I turned around to see what it could be. Part of me wished i could go back home. The fear was setting in. I'm ashamed to admit it but right this minute my senses were going in hyper drive. Danger enveloped me with the dark night. I don't know why but i seemed to be walking towards the ditch. Their seemed to be a laughter decsending from the ditch. It was hypnotic. I kept moving towards it like my feet had a mind of its own. My mind shouted STOP! I wish i could. It was a womans voice echoing around me like she was singing to me. Bewitching me to go closer. Towards her. She seemed to stalk me running around like this was a game to her. Like i was a prize or dare i say prey. The legends mentioned about Banshees in the woods at night. What was i doing? I should run however much i wanted i could not. I was surrounded by her. Trapped. I could see her long black hair. She finally stood still in front of me. Smiling at me. She was out of this world beautiful yet at the same time she was scaring me like crazy. It couldn't be. It was. MAYA. How did she transform into this creature. Maya's features seemed to be much sharper, like all her flaws were gone. Her beauty could compare to none. She was the opposite of her sister Hecate in looks and in temprement. Both had their drawback and positices. I preferred Hecate's innocence and heart over Maya's cruelness to nature and power to be something big. Hecate was skilled in her craft and more powerful than her sister Maya. Maya was a powerful witch and Dark Magic made anything possible. With a cost.
Maya-"So did U miss me Abhimayu?"
Abhimanyu-"Is this really U Maya? U look so different. Where have U been? Ur sister has been sick with worry. What R U doing here in this dark night in the middle of nowhere?"
Maya-"So many questions. Lets just say i got my wish Abhimayu. I wanted everyone to know but what could i do. I didn't realize the price i'd have to pay. My new powers have been a gift i'd die for. U guys were so engrossed with your wedding to even bother about me. Did U know how that felt? Losing the love of your life to my sister."
Abhimanyu-"Hecate needed something to take her mind off of U. Come on we'd better go home. She'll be glad to see U."
Maya-"Please like i want to go to that dump. Not after i've tasted so much power. U smell so good i could eat U. I let her have fun now its my turn. U are mine do U get it? You've always been mine."
Abhimanyu-"Maya i belong to your sister. I was never yours to have. We need to get this clear. Hecate is my wife. Thats one thing U can't change."
Maya-"Don't U dare. Not after how U played us sisters against each other for your affections. The only reason she got U was because of my inconvenience. I took too long getting back to U. Now i will get what i came for. U R mine. She can never take U away from me."
Abhimanyu-"Maya that's not fair. U used black magic to win me over. Your sister is my best friend. Your sister. How could U do this to her? Have U lost all your self worth that U had to stoop so low. It's too late Maya. I am Hecates forever. Deal with it."
Maya-"Everything is fair in love and war. My sister couldn't win against me. She's no match for me. U think U can. No chance not with my new abilities. She can't protect U. I can give U so much more. Power. Confidence. Agility. Immortality. We can be together forever. Just like i'd dreamed. I didn't expect U to be so well U. I can change everything for U. If U let me. I love U."
Abhimanyu-"Love. What do U know about love Maya? U don't care for your own sisters happiness but your own. What happened to U?U can stay here if U like. I'm off."
Maya rushed right in front of him in a blink of an eye. I couldn't believe my eyes. Was this all an illusion or am i tired? I trembled as Maya drew close towards me. I froze. My mind had left my body. Her eyes dark like the night saw through me like if she could read his mind. She levitated up. Maya touched me with her cold hands. I let out a whimper. Her touch left me shivering. Maya what R U doing to me? I tried to open my mouth but nothing. The stillness of the night was too much for me. I couldn't hear Maya breathe. I wished i could teleport to my family. Maya could see my dilemma. She couldn't read my mind. I was sure of it. She seemed to be studying my face. Finally she'd broken the silence.
Maya-"Did U see what i did? I shut U up. My powers have no boundaries. I have never been faster. Hear clearer. Make people do as i wish. Soar in the sky. My strenghth alone is by far what impresses me. I don't have any wiccan powers but i can do without it. Abhay I want U to join me. My love for U seems to have intensified. All my emotions have heightened. Right now i can't bear not being able to rip your throat out but i am controlling the urge. My love for U is stronger. My hatred for my sister has increased. U can't fight this my love. This is inevitable. If U want we can make it a family thing and turn your family. Hecate would have to die. She'd bring in her emotional baggage and this love boat is already full."
Abhimanyu-"R U crazy U senile person. Leave my family out of your sick plans. Let me go. I want no part in your grand plans for me. I don't want to be with U. Never have. Never will. U don't scare me. I don't know how U became this monster. This freak. Whatever it is U are? Kill me and be done with this. I have had enough of this madness."
Maya-"Abhimanyu. Fine we will leave them out. U have no say in what i do with U. I never wanted to kill U but to be like me I have to. I died to be this way. Drank the blood of young children. Babies." Maya saw the disgusted look on my face. It didn't bother her at all. Nothing changed in her tone nor her face.
Maya-"To gain something this extreme i had to take the lives of the young it was part of the spell. I regret nothing. I got what i wanted. Only problem is to sustain immortality i have to drink blood from humans to keep me strong and beautiful. I had to get a bat to bite me and then crawled into darkness to die. I was alone when i died but U won't be my love. U don't have a choice. I will make U mine by force if needs be but U will be mine. No more talk. Time for some action."
Abhay saw Maya's face change. Her eyes remained unchanged but her teeth gleamed like white pearls. Her teeth seemed razor sharp. I could see my death stare at me. This was how i would die at the hands of a monster. Maya was no longer human. She couldn't reason with me or even see my fear. Just her own gain. I didn't think a guy could ever describe how it felt to be dominated emotionally, mentally and physically. She'd over-riiden everything. Shut my mind. A ll that was constant was my sight. My mind knew what was happening but my body betrayed me. No movement. I felt like one of Paravara's dolls. She came over and held me. Maya kissed my lips. Then she leaned over to the side. She smiled at me. Then i saw her sharp teeth. They pierced my flesh. The pain only lasted a few seconds then it was replaced by an emotion i can't describe. It seemed like i wanted her to drain me dry. I could hear her guzzle my blood down like it were ambrosia. The nectar of the gods. I saw my life flash before my eyes. My family. I loved them so much but won'e get to see any more. I wouldn't be able to say goodbye to them. Hecate. Parvara. Mom. Dad. I felt Maya yank away from me like it was the hardest thing she has ever had to do.
Maya-"U tasted like i thought U would. Sweet like the roses. Blood is life. Drink. My love U must drink from me."
I was disorientated. I couldn't tell where i was or if i was dead. Did she say drink? I needed a drink. My body felt so heavy. Maya supported me in her arms. I felt wet. I could smell blood. My vlood. Maya cut her own skin with her teeth. Seemed like she was bringing her hands towards me. NOOOOOOOOO. I couldn't do anything to stop her. She opened my mouth and made me drink her blood. I tried to resist but to no avail. She'd won. I lost. My life was slipping away. I was holding on by a thread. Maya squeezed her hands more releasing more blood. She caressed my face with her free arm and smiled. She knew she'd triumphed over the battle of wills. i felt myself slip away into nothing. Maya took my life. I was dead.
The hostel
Piya started crying reading the entry. Piya shivered. Blood. Abhimanyu. The guy from her dreams. She never read his name till now yet she dreamt of him night after night. The strange shadow of a guy she saw last night. Could this be his story. How was he linked to her. Why did he haunt her in dreams since she was a child? What was his connection to her? Piya shut the Journal. It was time to go university. Her emotions were all over the place. This journal affected her in a big way. It read so well like this truly happened. Piya couldn't dismiss it at all. Abhay had shown powers that only existed in movies, comics, tv shows. Abhay hid himself from the world. Piya could handle the truth. She was mature enough for that. Did he think she wouldn't understand or that the timing isn't right. Piya would continue to read this Journal that disclosed some interesting facts on Abhays life. Was Abhimanyu Abhays ancestor? Was he dead or did he survive. She had no time. Piya looked at the mirror. Her make-up was smudged and black tear lineds were visible. She wiped her face and applied more make-up.
Piya saw her friends Kabir and Misha bickering like little children. This time the fight was about who was planning the next outing and where the location would be. Misha wanted to go to a local club to show her grrove off. Kabir was trying to get Piya on his side. Piya searched for Abhay. She'd spotted him. He looked right at her. Piya told her friends she would talk to them in a little while. She headed towards Abhay. She saw T approach him first. Piya could feel her blood boil. Abhay smiled back at T. He hugged her. How dare he? He has a nerve to do this in front of me well he was going to pay. T was touching Abhay as if he were her boyfriend. Piya felt her face flush. Abhay looked directly at her. He moved a strand of hair out of T's face.
Abhay couldn't resist being mischevious. Piya looked hot when she was angry. Hai. Time stood still whenever he saw her he blocked everyone out. Messing with T was fun. If Piya looked like this who knew how she'd be if she were planning to murder him. T was irritating him. He couldn't stand the girl but this was fun seeing Piya fume. Piya definately loved him that was definate. T looked at him as if he were the only guy in the world. Abhay knew the kind of guys T went for. Rich guys and ones that all the girls would be after. Drop dead Gorgeous. That he was hello he was dead and he was gorgeous. Well he only saw himself through Piya's eyes. T had to be taught not to eye other girls men. Abhay only belonged to Piya and she him. T needed to find her match. Abhay would compel her. It was the only way she'd leave him alone. Besides she didn't have her posse of girls with her. This was his chance.
Abhay-"T U don't want me. U want a guy who is fun and someone more likely to respond to your advances."
T-"I don't want U."
Abhay-"No U want Kabir."
T-"I want Kabir."
Abhay-"Yes. Now go."
Piya-"T stop touching Abhay go find an idiot that is willing to put up with your high maintenance behaviour and leave Abhay now."
Abhay couldn't help but flash his killer smile. Piya could feel her anger melt a little but not enough to let him off the hook. T left in a huff.
Piya-"Abhay. How could U let her touch U like that? U saw me and yet U still let her do that. I feel sick. I could strangle U."
Abhay-"I love that U feel so possesive about me. I couldn't resist seeing U all hot and bothered. U know I love U and not T."
Piya-"U weren't into her touching U like that? I saw U smile."
Abhay-"Piya it will only ever be U for me my Love."
Piya-"fine! I want U to hang around with Misha and Kabir. As a group. I want everyone i love together."
Abhay-"For U anything."
