Raj was busy flirting with Tracker and T.
Raj - (Sweetly) ''You know? I had totally been dreading this educational outing if it wasn't for you two! I mean, come on, look at you T, you are the most gorgeous girl in the whole college, wait?, why only college!? You are the most beautiful girl of Dehradun! And Tracker, you are so sweet, so innocent..'' (And he kept going on and on)
T - (Blushing) ''Thanks a lot, sweetheart! I know I am gorgeous, and the most wanted girl of the college'' (Pushing her hair behind her ears) ''Everyone wants me!''
Tracker - (Snorting) ''So? He called me sweet and innocent! He so obviously likes me more than he likes you!''
Misha - (Making faces, she made her way towards the rocks lining the roads and slumped on the bigger one. She looked at the watch) ''Damn 1 hour and 45 minutes more with these timbettes and this casanova!''
Raj - (Taking a seat next to her) ''Casanova? Me? Pahlease! I was just making sure we have someone to entertain you while you are bored!''
Misha - (Rolls her eyes) ''Really? Wow, seeing you flirting with T and Tracker has me totally entertained! Thanks a lot'' (Sarcasticly)
Raj - (A smile crept up his face) ''Jealous?''
Misha - (Turning around to face him and narrowing her eyes at him) ''Are you out of your mind, dude? Misha Dobriyal jealous of a timbet and a boy tracker! Yeah right!''
Raj - (Didn't stop smiling) ''Ahaa, well, I believe you'' (Winks and looks at T and Tracker fighting) ''Look.. The two gorgeous girls fighting for the hunk!''
Misha - (Confused) ''Hunk? Which hunk? Oh..you mean the driver, right? Yeah, quite a 40 yr old hunk!'' (Snorts)
Raj - (Frowned) ''Oh come on Misha, am I THAT bad?''
Misha - (Keeping a hand on his shoulder and looking at him with serious eyes) ''Raj.. yes, you are THAT bad!''
Raj - (Rolls his eyes and grunts. Just then, he senses something in the forest. He turns around to the jungle behind him. He can sense a presence there - a strong presence which makes the shivers down his spine rise) ''It's... there!''
Misha - (Puzzled) ''What's there?''
Raj - (Removing her hand from his shoulder, and getting up, his eyes never leaving a particular point in the forest. He mutters to himself) ''Danish.. Danish!'' (Relieved as he manages to make mind contact with him) ''Dan...I can sense it, Dan. I can sense Maithali's grave in the forest.''
Are you crazy? Nobody has seen her grave, and you know that!
''Well.. nobody has seen her grave, that does not mean that we can't be the first ones! I definately sense her presence, Danish. The same eerie presence she brings with herself, I can sense it right in the middle of the forest!''
Raj, you know what you are talking about, right? If that really is Maithali's grave, and we are able to unlock it with a supernatural spell, we can be 10 times more powerful than we already are by sucking the energy out of a dead vampire.
''I know. This is a one in a million opportunity, Danish! I have passed this road many times but I have never felt her presence so ..inviting. It is like she herself wants me to go there. And you know how hard it is for werewolfs to kill a vampire. That is only possible once every 10 years. And the only other way to derive powers - Sucking the powers out of them while they are dead! And finding their graves is never easy! And when I'm finding one..I can't let it go, Dan. I just can't!''
But Raj, you can't do it alone! You know about all the dangers you could have to face while trying to derive her powers? And what about the supernatural spell? We don't own any witch, do we? And I am here in the camp, I can't help you!
''Don't worry Dan. I will go alone! And I know I can't derive the powers without a witch, but I want to take a good look of the place, of the spirit who is haunting it and inviting me in!'' And he broke the contact before Danish could say something else. He had his eyes closed while making the contact, and he opened them to find a worried and confused Misha staring at him and blinking her eyes. ''Dude, are you, like, making telepathic connection with your home planet?''
Raj - (Shakes his head) ''I gotta go! I will be back in an hour!'' (Looks at the forest) ''I have something important to do!''
Misha - (Protests) ''No.. Raj, you can't go there! It's not possible! Going alone in the forest is dangerous!''
Raj - (Has his eyes fixed on the jungle and he doesn't notice when Misha holds his hand in order to stop him. He looks at her and meets his pleading eyes) ''I'm sorry..Misha, don't worry! I'll be back!'' (Looks back at the jungle) ''I have waited years for this day to come, and now when it is here, I can't let it go!''
-- ON THE OTHER SIDE --
Abhay wakes up with a strong shake and Pia's eyes flow open.
Pia - (Worried) ''Are you alright, Abhay?''
Abhay - (His pupils go black as he realises that Raj is trying to find the grave. He stands up and looks at the forest) ''Pia, go back to Kabir and Rhea!'' (He meets her eyes with a pleading and film glare) ''Please!''
Pia - (Didn't know what came over her, but she simply nodded and turned back to go to Kabir and Rhea)
Abhay - (Sighs in relief and vents out for the forest to stop Raj from finding Maithali's grave) ''I need to protect her! I can't let those wolfs suck her powers!''
