Sidharth scurried looking for a bite to eat groaning in agony. He was cursing under his breath for letting his guard down again. What the hell was it with this girl. Everytime he went to attack her it all backfired on him? Which S.O.B. had a death wish to want to mess with him. He needed blood and lots of it. Sid was perspirating bucket loads. Sweat drenched down his face. He needed a bloody shower. He found a tramp on his way. Sid was usually repulsed by these lowlives but had no choice but to drink up. He wasn't in a state to have to luxury of choosing. Sid grabbed the begger by the throat and drank every last drop of blood. It was unfortunate the blood tasted so vile but it did its job. Sid rushed back to the crime scene searching for evidence on who his attacker was? The man with the bow. Seriously like since when did hunters shoot with arrows? It wasn't the dark ages when people had no guns and had to make do with sticks and stones. Sid found nothing remaining of the mystery man. He bellowed in anger screaming at the top of his lungs for vengence. Sid had enough of playing the nice guy. He wanted to be plain bad but Pia put the spanners in the works by being Maithali's salvation. He'd reluctantly made a deal not to hurt her lover. What a shame he thought. He was looking forward to the face off with his estranged brother. He despised him with everything he had. Sid had decided he'd had enough of this wretched place and needed a to let loose. He'd try out a club with his good old friend Alexis. After all they came to tear the town down. Sid had started seeing more images og Abhay than he wanted in his head. He shook frantically the images away. Sid spoke out loud repeating a mantra I DO NOT LOVE U BROTHER. I DON'T CARE FOR U. I WANT U DEAD. DEAD. STAY OUT OF MY HEAD.
Finaly Sid met up with Alexis who was busy feeding from a pretty waitress. He quickly turned around to see Sid eyeing him-Oh U finally made it here. I got bored thought i'd order take out.
Sid gnarled at Alexis-U call this take out? Where the F**k were U man?
Alexis scrunched his face looking pensive-Why? Was i supposed to be somewhere?
Sid muttered-U imbecile I was attacked by a bloody human. Someone is on to us. We need to catch them before they do any serious damage. And Fast. I don't think i have the patience to be running after ghosts. I have bigger problems to solve like Pia.
Alexis frowned warily asking-What has she got to do with it? She's only human. U can dealwith her later.
Sid was working with a retard-She's linked with this human some how? It turns out whenever i try to bite her this person shoots me. And she saves me. Do U know how humiliating it is to be saved by a mere mortal? To be saved by the very woman i want dead only i can't kill the b***h because she holds the key to saving Maithali and her clan from the damned curse.
Alexis felt relief wash all over him-And U know this by???
Sid yelled-Pia. She told me herself and yes i believe her. I have tasted the truth and seen the proof myself in her blood among other things.The girl is infuriating as hell. How did i let her get so close? To let her get inside my head? I have to get rid of this humanity inside of me. I can feel it poison me from the inside.
Alexis had hoped Sid would reform. Sid had never looked this agitated before-Sid i am sure this feeling will pass by. Pia's a little too honed in to her humane side. I have seen it on Tara's images of the girl. U have to stay away from her. She will drive U insane.
Sid uttered angrily-U are telling me this now? After i've been violated by her. I can't even think straight right now but all i know is i can't kill her or Abhay. Not until i have what i need. Maithali.
Alexis responded with caution-Have U located where she might be?
Sid nodded-She will be wherever Pia will be. It turns out Abhay and I are needed for the curse as key ingrediants. We need Pia as well so i have to appease with them for now. Then i will kill them. I can't risk Maithali running off with Abhay.
Alexis rushed out of their room with Sid-Abhay will never choose to be with Maithali. He would have done so by now.
Sid evily warned-But she might.
Alexis asked-So what now?
Sid mused-Now we get hammered and keep an eye on Pia.
At the club Misha stoped grooving to the beat of Beautiful People by Chris Brown and heading to the bar where she met a stranger. He was very cute. The stranger didn't even at an eye towards her. Misha had this strange need to ask the stranger for a drink. Was he human she thought to herself? Or a witch? Maybe she needed her friend Tara to check him out. Misha ordered Bicardi and Coke. She offered one to the stranger and one for herself.
Misha extended her hand for a shake-Misha!
The stranger gazed into Misha's eye's as his eye's sparkled at her-Arjun! I'm new around here.
Misha chirpily grinned like a school girl-Figures why i've never seen U before. I keep getting this strange feeling like U know me. Your eyes they don't give much away.
Arjun chuckled heartily-I have been around. I've seen U before with your friends. I just like to keep my own company. Thanks for the drink but i already have one.
Misha took a sip of her drink-Next time U can return the favour dude. Never refuse a free drink from a girl.
Arjun flirted back-Or???
Misha winked at Arjun-Or you'll never hear the end of it. Nice meeting U Arjun.
Arjun turned to see Misha walking away. He got up abruptly-Do U want to U know?
Misha's eyes stared back at Arjun's with eagerness-What?
Arjun blurted out-Dance! I'm not all that with the moves but it's better than U being on your own with the girls. I might proof to be worth your time.
Misha liked the sound of Arjuns voice-Sure. I like a guy who knows what he wants.
Arjun took Misha's hand in his and gulped the drink she bought him. They both headed to the floor wrapping themselves in the others arms. They swayed to and fro to Tum ho mera pyar remixed. Misha had never felt so taken away by another person since the Gaydar gate. Now she was soaring high with this stranger. He felt warm to the touch. Misha could feel the butterflies in her stomach. Maybe this was the drink talking but whatever it was she felt good in his arms. Misha continued to bat her eye's shyly eventually losing her inhibitions. She hadn't realised there was an audience in the form of Kabir, Tracker, Tara and Angad. They were whistling at them. Misha caught the'r gaze and made a face at them to back off.
Arjun found Misha very cute-Don't worry about your friends. They are just cheering U on.
Misha softly spoke-I think its more to do with my teasing them on a daily basis. I don't date men. I meant i haven't dated U know anyone. I shouldn't have said that.
Arjun liked Misha's honesty-It's cool. I like an honest girl. They are better than the liars i have come across. It's refreshing. So would U count this as a date?
Misha's eyes flickered back to Arjuns-Nnno. We've only just met. I'd call this two strangers getting to know each other under drunk circumstances.
Arjun swayed Misha around and brought her very close until their faces were inches away-I'm not drunk Misha. I know fully well what i am doing. And i know U aren't under the influence of alcohol either although U have had a few shots.
Misha's cheeks reddened-I erm I think we need another round of drinks.
Arjun found Misha very cute indeed. He liked the reaction he got out of her. The way she was looking at him made him feel wanted-I don't think its a drink U want Misha.
Misha felt her words were all muddled up and couldn't get anything out of her mouth-This isn't right. I don't know what...
Arjun fished-U don't know what Misha? I like U Misha. Do U like me back?
Misha avoided Arjun's eyes-Music's stopped.
Arjun gave Misha his number-Keep it. If U ever want to hook up again then give me a call.
Misha was left open mouthed-U can't leave!
Arjun replied-It's past my bed time. I don't stay out late. I have a day job to get to.
Misha watched Arjun leave her dumbfounded-He's gone (Her face sunk as did her heart.)
Tara came to get the 411-So Arjun's got U tied up in a knot huh? U seem diappointed that he's left.
Misha nodded-I didn't think it was serious but what the heck happened to me there? Is her by any chance a ???????????
Tara knew what Misha wanted to know-No he isn't a werewolf, or a worlock either just a plain human.
Misha sighed an air of relief-I got his number. I can't believe it. It just seems too good to be true.
Tara planted the card in her palm getting a read on the guy-H's intentions are good and he genuinely has some feelings for U. I won't get much info on him from this other than what he is like as a person. U have a good guy on your hands Misha and they are hard to come by. Trust someone who's been dealt with the short end of the straw.
Misha jumped up and down like an excited child-I am going to call him first thing tomorro.
Tara grinned-Good. Now go over to Tracker and fill her in with the gossip. I had to restarin her from spoling your fun. Its a shame Pia isn't here she would have been so pleased for U.
Misha gave Pia a text "found a hot guy. Tell U all about it in the morning."
Kabir took Tara to dance to a fast number in her black dress. Her whipped his arm around her waist-How are U in the long run?
Tara reflected on her emotions-I'm a tough cookie Kabir. Just need to kill the next week. Then i am thinking of leaving. I have nothing left for me here.
Kabir felt a little saddened by this news-U mean U are leaving town. U can't do this Tara. Pia's so dependant on U. Misha's not going to like this.
Tara heard a hint of hurt in Kabir's voice-I came for Abhay and once his problems are resolved i will go back to where i came from. This town isn't my home. It can never be my home.
Kabir felt bad inside-U can make it your home Tara. U know U can. Home is where the heart is.
Tara let outa pessimistic laugh-My heart is broken Kabir. My heart longs for nothing but Abhay's happiness. For Pia and Misha to be content with life. I don't desire anything for myself. All i wanted has ended in ruin.
Kabir cupped Tara's face with his hands-It's not true Tara. I wish i could spit the truth out but i can't. It's too soon and U probably think i'm on the rebound.
Tara saw a glint in Kabir's eyes-Kabir U can't mean what i think U mean. I'm not ready.
Kabir blew caution to the wind-I mean it Tara. I have recently discovered spending time with U has made me want to be with U. I feel like i'm me when i am with U. Like i have found myself again but then i saw Alex and decided to keep my feelings buried. Now U say U want to leave. U can't leave me Tara. Feel free to say U don't have any feelings for me i'llrespect that. But if there's remotely any chance of us being together i need U to say it.
Tara let go of Kabir's hold-I can't answer your questions Kabir. I'm sorry.
Kabir asked again-Just think about it Tara. I'm not asking for a commitment for now. Sleep on it.
Tara nodded and whisked herself away to Misha and Tracker's table.
Abhay had decided to leave a sleeping Pia in her dorm room with Rosa. She looked so peaceful he didn't want to wake her. Little did he know that Pia had grabbed Abhay tightly murmuring to him-Don't leave Abhay.
Abhay kissed Pia's lips gently-So U were pretending to sleep Pia this is not fair. Vampires have their own lives too U know. I have things to do places to be. Mom's not happy with the amount of time i am spending with U.
Pia got up from her bed crssing her arms sulking-You'd rather be with your Mom than with Me. It's cool i get it. I'm not the only girl in your life. Leave me like U always do but one day Abhay I'll be the one to leave U and U won't ever see me again.Then you'll know how it feels to have the man U love leave every night.
Abhay brushed Pia's hair taesing her-Now Pia if U leave me then U know i'll only turn to someone else for comfort.
Pia whacked him with her hand-Why U cheeky devil. U wouldn't would U?
Abhay let out a laugh-What do U think? If U left me i'd die Pia.
Pia heard her phone go off. She checked the message-Misha got lucky. She's met a guy. Arjun. I wish i'd have been there. Instead i'm stuck with U.
Abhay grabbed Pia back-You've got your sense of humour back Pia. Your colours returned to your face. Now be a good girl and drift off to sleep for me. I need U rested. We have so much to catch up on.
Pia frowned-We do?
Abhay kept his eyes locked with Pia's-Sid's game plan Pia. He will hurt U after he gets what he wants. I need a contingency plan.
Pia moaned-I'm fed up with all this Abhay. I just want to lead a normal life.
Abhay could hear Pia's frustrations-As soon as the threats are over U will have your life back Pia.
Pia kissed Abhay softly-With U in it. I meant as normal as it can get. Why don't U just trun me Abhay? Then there would be no need for this extra protection.
Abhay sternly mouthed-We've already discussed it Pia. U will remain a human for the rest of your life. I won't have U living like us. Its not normal. Its not U Pia.
Pia let it drop again-So U love your Mom a lot right?
Abhay's tone changed-We've been together for over 200 years Pia. Its hard not to bond. It's like how U feel about your Mom. Only we feel it intensified.
Pia could still hear Abhay's annoyance-You're still mad at me aren't U?
Abhay caressed Pia with his arm stroking her-I can't believe U fed Sid your blood Pia. He will use what U have against U.
Pia saw Abhay's eyes change colour-You're not jealous are U?
Abhay fumed a little-A little OK. I admit i am jealous. The only person i want U to share yourself with is me. There i said it. I don't want any man or vampire sharing U in any form with me.
Pia sat Abhay on her bed while she kissed his lips-This is the most sexiest thing you've ever confessed to me Abhay. I like this side to U. Maybe i should do this often.
Abhay turned Pia around so he was on top of her-If U want me sane U won't.
Both kiss each other until Pia was tired out. He'd made sure they didn't go the full distance. He didn't want her hurt.
Next day Pia found a letter adressed in her name. It was a court order by Mr. Dobrial. She opened it to read what he had planeed for her. He was claiming to be her legal guardian by proof of the paternity test included. Pia threw the documents on the floor out of anger. She was livid and royally p****d off at Arnab. How dare he use force against her. No way was he getting his way. She wasn't going to let him win her. Pia would never allow for this secret to come out. She had to do something fast.
Abhay came to Pia's aid-What;'s with the tantrums Pia? Are U mad at me for U know?
Pia hissed angrily-I'm mad at this!(Pointing to the floor with all the paperworks.) How dare he?
Abhay read the documents and the summons scanning throught it at super speed-What are U going to do Pia?
Pia ranted-I am not going to follow up with this stupidity. He has no idea what i am capable of Abhay. I would rather be on my deathbed than be with him. If he tries to do this by force then i'll, i'll think of something. How could he spring this on me now. We have exams coming up Abhay. Its crucial i have my head working with rationality than with so much anger. Why is he doing this to me? Does he not risk losing his family? I warned him but he is still doing this Abhay.
Abhay phoned his lawyers to help Pia. They tell him the only loop hole is if she is emancipated from her parents but because they are rich and have a good record this isn't visable. The only other option would be marriage. Abhay wasn't sure if Pia would be even up for this. If he was up for this. Abhay was already 18 and haeding for 19 soon while Pia was still 17.5 years old. He'd need the consent of Haseena. Then there was the whole mix up of where Pia would live? She'd have to live with him to make the marriage look like a real one. Pia needed protecting and his place would be perfect. There was just one problem his father would be deadset against it. Chand would never allow for a human to enter their home unless???????????
Abhay waiting for Pia's reaction-According to my lawyers the only way out is marriage Pia. Arnab has a good reputation and his children are brought up well. He has a perfect record and he is rich so U can't win i'm afraid.
Pia's eyes shifted from Abhay to open space confused-What are U suggesting Abhay?
Abhay-For U to marry someone real fast.
Pia's heart raced super fast-To whom Abhay?
Abhay let out racuously-To me Pia? Or are U still hooked oN SID AND KABIR?(Rolling his eyes in annoyance)
Pia sighed-I could have gotten a btter proposal than U have to get married Pia?
Abhay bent down on one knee-Pia will U marry Me?
Pia-I'll think about it.
