:::Update 20:::The Watchers:::
All eyes were on Pia checking her with eager eyes with made Pia feel uncomfortable especially after the adventure she'd had lst night with the supernatural world. Pia felt highly strung up and definitely moody. In effect Pia never felt so reassured and confident in her own skin. Empowered with serenity. It was a great feeling as opposed to feeling almost repressed to express herself. Pia gave a meagre smile trying to head upstairs.
Someone from behind through something like a dart or something at her and Pia had moved fast on her feet looking at who threw it at her-She's already been initiated in now Arnab. Its her.
Pia stormed directly at the man with the grey overcoat grabbing hold of him with her bare hands-What the hell were U doing? (Picking him up from the ground) Were U trying to stun me with this dart? I'm not an animal U can put down. Where did U pick these people from Dad? (Flashing her anfry eyes at Arnab)
Arnab cleared his throat with his face pale at this revelation. He never wanted this life for Pia-Leave him Pia. Let go of him. We need to talk. In private. (Gives the men around the table a look almost pleading with them) It important Pia.
Arnab saw the men leave one by one over to the study. Arnab sat his daughter down and locked his eyes with hers looking at her with a heavy heart. How was he going to break the news to his daughter? Did she already know? Ofcourse she couldn't have known. Pia was looking at him like he'd grown horns on his forehead.
Pia folded her arms furiously-What is it Dad? I don't have time. I got to freshen up and get ready for College.
Arnab blurted a little fast-Pia U aren't a normal girl anymore. IYou're a Slayer!
Pia laughed at her Father-I'm a slayer. Pull the other one Dad. (Her features went tense and a little worried. Slayer as in a what slayer?) What slayer?
Arnab stroked his daughter sweet face wishing he could take this curse away from her. It was a burden and she was his fragile little doll-U know how U girls are always teasing me about my Vampire obsession. My obsession with the Supernatural World Pia is actually a reality. These men U see are watchers from all over the globe. They train young girls as fighters.
Pia mocked spouting off-To fight Vampires? Do U know how absurd this sounds. Its preposterous to even fathom such beings forget species on this Earth roaming around. Its all fictitious Dad. They aren't real.
Arnab cut Pia off-Its all real Pia. I have seen them. They'ev seen them all. They came to me a few years back to warn me one of U girls was going to be bestowed with powers beyond anything we've ever seen. I was in denial and then they've been following your movements. Its their job and last night they told me was when your gifts were handed down to U. They wouldn't give me the details but i believe them when they say they saw U come back to life. Now the Supernaturals will start to get attracted to U for Power and for your blood Pia.
Pia was looking alarmed now. She already knew about the vampires and now this was handed to her. Was this why she could hurl a vampire as strong as Damon through the walls? Why she could now match Abhay strength for strength? Did she come back all wrong?-U are scaring me Dad ok? I can't hear this ok.
Arnab held Pia's hand in his sternly scolding her-I am deadly serious Pia. When your life is at stake your father will do anything in his power to assure U remain in one piece and more importantly alive. There have been other girls before U who had this passed down to them. In every generation there can only be one but the last slayer had killed this theory and made many potentials into slayers. U weren't a potential Pia but something happened to make it this way. Now i don't know what to do other than train U. U must defend yourself from them Pia.
Pia gave Arnab her most deadliest look-I don't want to get into this Dad. This is ridiculous. Vampires don't exist do U hear me? I don't care what those crazy people have to say ok.
Arnab had to drive this home to Pia-U think i asked for this Pia? I want U to lead a normal life Pia but Destiny has other plans for U do U understand this Pia? I don't know what triggered this Slayer gene to kick in but i'm afraid now U are the chosen one. I've been in on this for years now Pia.
Pia saw the look of dismay in her fathers eyes-Don't look at me like that. Dad U know how i love my independence. I don't want to be bogged down with responsibilities. I refuse to accept this role. If U can even call it a role. I don't need this in my life.
The watcher's all stared at Pia again. They came in to interrupt the Father and daughter chat. One of the watchers broke the ice-Pia we know how this may sound to U but U are now a magnet for the Supernatural World. We have been perpetually fighting these beings since the beginning of time my child. Those slayers before U have all had this unexpectedly landed on them. They never chose this life it chose them. Slayers are meant to slay demons my child. Whether U choose to accept it or not makes no difference. They will all hone in on U for Power. Your blood will give them the amplified gifts to make them stronger Pia. U have to fight with us not against us. U know very well about Vampires Pia! (He gave her this look of discontent) I advise U heed our plight my child. Time is of the essence. The sooner U are trained up the easier it is for all of us.
Pia gulped not due to fear in her eyes but because of the hidden warning underlying the Watchers tone-I am not interested in your so called fanatical movement. This war U can fight alone. I am out of it because this is plain madness. Have U seen the life i lead? U want me to leave my cushy life to be a soldier? To be a fighter for the darkness. I have never lifted a finger on anyone before forget fight. I love my freedom to much to be dictated by the likes of U. No offence but i take orders from nobody. Its the way i am ok. (Pia had to keep Abhay a secret from these watchers. If they knew about him who knew what they'd do. She had to keep him safe and away from their prying eyes. She cursed her fate. Abhay was all that mattered to Pia. She was deliriously happy with the new power she had because she was equal to Abhay now and he could no longer evade her nor pull away from her like he had done so previously. Now this was becoming the bane in her life.) As selfish as this sounds i am into my happy life with being a student, shopping till i drop, boys and i have a social life unlike some people here (Haughtily) Don't look at me with contempt like i am spoilt and being unreasonable. I am a teenager. I am only 17 years old. Like i give a hoot what U think of me. Sorry for wasting your time.
The watcher raised his voice-Pia U are acting like U don't give a damn but i can see in your eyes U already know of this grave reality. We've followed your every move since we learnt about the possibility of U being a Slayer. U can't hide from this Pia. U think masking this destiny U have will change the outcome. It won't They'll all come from the woodworks for U Pia. Its the way it's always been. Under all that make up and fashion lies a girl who is fearless and a born warrior. I can see through all the plastic Pia. U are meant for this. U are meant for greatness. Just don't throw it away. Especially for a Dead leech. Its not worth it Pia. U are born for this purpose. U will end these supernaturals whether U like it or not.
Pia gasped at that last remark. Pia would never harm Abhay. She'd rather give her life than take his. Did they know?-U people assume too much. U can't psycho analyse me. I won't change my mind. U don't know a thing about me. Now get out of my house please.
Arnab scolded Pia-Pia this is not how we speak with guests. Apologize to them.
Pia shook her head furiously leaving-I need some fresh air. I can't digest this insanity. U are all crazy. I am heading to College.
Pia left to get a quick shower. While Arnab pacified the Watchers-I'm sorry for Pia's behaviour. I've spoilt her too much. I'll bring her around. I promise. (He knew exactly how to make Pia play ball) She's just a child. Naive. Pia is a dreamer. Vampires to her are a joke. I'll have this problem solved soon.
The watchers nodded. The leader finished-Your daughter is special Arnab. There is a lot of raw untapped power there and emotionally she is ripe for the picking. Any vampires can take advantage of her. We must make her see Vampires are the enemy. Your daughter knows more than she lets on. We'll be off but i'll station a few watchers to be on the cautious side. They'll watch over her.
Arnab nodded grimly shaking their hand-I'm sorry for the way Pia spoke to U all.
Pia came down accentuating her body in a tight figure hugging yellow dress to knock Abhay off. Pia was still a little alarmed by the news of her being a slayer. She was not allowing it to dampen her day with Abhay. Pia saw her father glaring at her-Papa don't look at me with those eyes. I am not going to ruin my nails nor wear Misha type of clothes. U got the wrong daughter for this job. And vampires don't exist.
Arnab shouted at Pia-They do Pia! The watchers seem to think U already know about vampires. Meaning U are hiding something from me.
Pia had to bail-Those whack jobs are trying to brainwash U Dad. Don't fall for it. I have to go (Kisses her fathers cheek) Bye. And stop reading Vampire books ok?
Pia met Abhay smiling her dazzling smile at him in College-Hey Handsome! Missed me much?
Abhay wrapped Pia in his arms as she nestled on his chest smelling his musky cologne by Davidoff-U look simply irresistible Pia. U in the mindframe of killing me huh?
Pia saw Abhay's eyes check her out and hugged him tightly then her smile dropped curling into bitterness peering over Abhay's shoulders to see a Watcher spying on her. Pia dragged Abhay away so she could hide him away-U have to go for now. I'll erm meet U in class.
Abhay gave Pia the look-Ok Pia.
Pia saw Abhay walking off. Pia went fuming like a bull in a china shop prodding the watcher-Why are U following me? I told U i'm not interested. I'm not a slayer.
The watcher shook his head-So he's the one U are protecting Pia. The otehrs won't like it. We have another slayer who can finish him off for U.
Pia grabbed him by the collor-U better keep your mouth shut.
The watcher bartered-Then join us Pia. As our Slayer. I'll keep my mouth shut if U agree to join us.
Pia had to save Abhay-This is a bluff.
The Watcher mused-No its not Pia. Whatever it takes for U to play ball i'll do it even if its unethical. We need U. And U need us. U want Abhay alive even though he is dead so be it.
Pia let go of him-Just go. I'll do what U want but nobody goes near Abhay. U keep my secret then i'll agree to anything.
Pia left the watcher to meet Abhay's look of disapproval-What? Have U been eavesdropping?
Abhay rasped-So you're a Slayer then?
Pia touched Abhay's cheek softly whispering-Yes! They came this morning Abhay. I said no but...
Abhay smirked-They blackmailed U into it using me huh?
Pia nodded solemnly-U are everything to me Abhay. Now i have U i don't want to lose U. U have to understand i'll break if i...
Abhay covered her mouth with his hand-Shhh!!!!! I'm a big vampire Pia. U think another slayer will kill me? I've dated a slayer before they all fall for my charm.
Pia gave Abhay daggers with her eyes-Oh don't i know it Abhay.
Abhay smiled-I know U love me but they can't do anything. Have faith in me ok? U don't have to do anything U don't want to.
Pia sighed thinking she had to fend for Abhay and herself with Maithali set free and Xena another rogue Slayer on the loose-No i have to Abhay. I get it. U will help me right?
Abhay kissed Pia-Oh i'll do more than help. I'll train U if U like.
Pia raised a smile kissing Abhay back.
Damon meanwhile was getting very irritated by Bonnie's blatant attack. She was using him as target practice for her spells. Damon groaned-U are roallay doing me nut in. I ought to bite U.
Bonne curled her lips-Oh try to bite me and i'll bite U back.
Elena threw herself down on the sofa feeling bored-Its boredom here. U kids stop teasing each other.
Damon rolled his eyes then saw his Mobile flash. It was Stefan He was here. In India with Klaus and Rebecca. They weren't alone. Klaus had brought with him an uninvited guest along for the ride. A Vampire superior had relayed the message on.
Damon warned Bonne with his eyes-Bonnie i gotta take off for a few. U girls keep yourself amused.
Bonnie bit her lip-Elena have U finished with the Upstairs yet? We have to suprise Abhay for his hospitality.
Elena got up again moaning-More Paint fumes.
Bonnie giggled patting Elena-We'll he's in College so we gotta make the most of it.
