Hey 🤗
Thanks for the sweet comments!
love you all!
here's chapter 3:chapter 3:
Shilpa huffed and puffed, grasping tighter at the sword's hilt. She was swinging the sword aimlessly, not even once hitting DAB with it. Oh gosh I hate him! She thought angrily. He was maneuvering out of her sword's reach with ease. He was moving so graceful and she was just looking like a little kitten that has no knowledge of anything. She groaned and tried to swing the sword at him again and missed. He spun around and grabbed her from her back. He pulled her close and held his sword against her neck. "Lesson 1, never fight with anger." He whispered in her ear, his cool breath tickling on her neck. "Let me go.." She said, struggling to get out of his grasp. He chuckled darkly. "And you think the enemy would listen, don't you?" He let her go and pushed her away, which caused Shilpa to stumble a few steps back. She cursed under her breath and turned around, ready to attack him. He was just looking amused. DAB walked a few steps back, moving the tip of his sword on the ground. He stretched his one arm out and smirked. " Come to daddy, my little princess." Armaan mockingly said, chuckling afterwards. "Little!?" She exclaimed angrily. She growled and was seeing only red. She grasped the hilt with both of her palms and ran towards him. She held the sword above her head, ready the cut his head off! She screamed and just when she was about the hit him, he places his hand on the sharp edge of the sword. Shilpa gasped, the sword was red because of the blood, but he didn't even flinched. He pushed her sword down and glared at her. She was looking at his palm. No sign of him ever being hurt! Damn, he must be very powerful, he can even heal his own wounds. A pang of jealousy shot through Shilpa, she was frowning and looked up at him, he was glaring at her. "What?" She asked nonchalantly and shrugged her shoulders, playing it cool. He dropped his sword and stalked over to Shilpa. He grasped her wrist and spun her roughly around, not minding that the sword was ripping through her dress. A loud screech was heard, a piece of her silky white fabric fell down on the ground. She felt a sharp pain ripping through her left thigh, blood staining her perfectly white dress. He pressed her back completely against his chest. She was too numb to mind what he was doing to her. He looked down over her shoulder, seeing the blood flowing down her white dress. He saw her thigh and smirked. He heard soft whimpers coming out of her mouth. But she was fighting it, he could tell that. She needs to listen to me, that's why I punished her. He grasped her waist tightly and held her sword against her own neck. He leaned closer to her ear. "Listen to me Cat." He spat her name out. "Stop being stubborn, in order for you succeed in sword fighting, you need to listen to me. That's why I punished you." He sternly was lecturing her. "You punished me?" She managed to ask through the pain killing her. "Yes, now what was lesson 1?" He asked her patiently. Shilpa stayed silent, too stubborn too speak. Armaan rolled his eyes and added pressure to the sword against her neck. She gasped softly, but didn't do anything else. "So I guess that you are not angry at me for punishing you? Nice." He said, smirking. Shilpa scoffed and tried to hit him in his stomach with her elbow. Armaan, of course could see everything and turned her around before she had to the chance to hit him. He pulled her close, her body flushed against his. Shilpa glared at him. "Patience is a virtue." He said and she rolled her eyes. "Now lesson 2 : Nothing hurts." He whispered and pushed her away. She again stumbled back, adding pressure to her wounded thigh. She started to chuckle softly. Armaan cocked his eyebrow. What kind of lady is she? He wondered. "Is there something funny?" Armaan asked curiously. She looked up smirking. "Apart from your face?" She mocked him. He just rolled his eyes. "I'm hideous! And I know that. Now go on." He sarcastically said and then waited for her to go on. "I'm not stubborn and let me teach you a lesson, my little devil." Shilpa said playfully. Armaan looked amused by her sudden changed behavior. "You're going to teach me a lesson? And I'm your little devil? Apart from the 'little', I don't know why, but I like the sound of you teaching me a lesson." Armaan seductively said, wiggling his eyebrows. Shilpa glared at him. He's disgusting! She thought. "I will teach you a lesson, Lesson number 3: NEVER listen to the devil" she threw her sword in the air. The sword circled in the air and she grabbed it before it hit the ground. By now she was standing in front of him. She gave him a playful wink, then she swung the sword and it made contact with his chest, wounding it. He just stood there, smirking at her. Shilpa looked at him for a few seconds, "why is he so strong?" she asked herself. "So what's lesson4, my little wild cat" Armaan asked huskily. Shilpa moved her lips closer to his ear. "Do you really want to know what lesson 4 is?" she whispered. Armaan nodded. "Lesson4 is: …Lesson1 and 2 work quite well" she purred. Armaan smirked at her answer. Shilpa hit his chest lightly and was about to take a step back when Armaan wrapped his arm around her waist. He moved closer to her face. "Should I tell what think about lesson4?" He whispered and stroked her cheek with his finger. Shilpa just nodded. "I think lesson4 doesn't work" he whispered, moving his lips closer to her neck. "And you did quite well my little wild cat" he huskily said against her neck. Shilpa smiled and then pushed him away angrily. "Quite well, I did an amazing job you devil" She snapped. He shook his head. "Patience is your best quality, right?" he said sarcastically. She glared at him and looked at his chest. She gradually saw his wound heal. Armaan smirked "Enjoying your view, princess?" he asked with a smirk. Shilpa looked up and gave him a murderous glance. "You think I'm hot, don't you?" he asked with a smirk. Shipa frowned "let me think" she said, looking at him from head to toe. "Hmm, NO I have seen better" She exclaimed and turned around, walking to the door. Armaan cocked his eyebrow, "This lady is so hard to understand" he thought. Before Shilpa could walk away Armaan grabbed her wrist. "Not so fast, princess" he said. "What?!" Shilpa snapped. Armaan spun her around and caught her against his chest. "Who's hot?" he asked with a smile. "You're not!" she snapped, trying to push him away but he was too strong for her. "Are you sure?" He asked with a smirk. Armaan took her hand and putted it on his muscular chest. Catherina tried not to stare at his beautiful chest. "You're still not hot" she snapped. Armaan smirked and pulled her closer against him. "And know" he whispered against her neck. His warm breath tickling on her neck. Shilpa shook her head but didn't say anything. "Lair" he whispered and kissed her neck. Shilpa closed her eyes. Her mind was telling her to push him away but her hands weren't listening. Shilpa wrapped her hands around his neck. "You can't change my mind, DAB" she said. "But nice try" she added with a smirk. "I like your attitude, princess" He said with a small smile.
Shilpa looked at him "You have to learn, accepting facts" she said. Armaan moved his hand from her waist to her hips. "You know: you're an amazing liar" he said with a smirk. Shilpa looked into his beautiful golden brown eyes. "This DAB guy isn't that bad" she thought. Suddenly she felt severe pain in het thigh. She looked at her thigh and it was still bleeding. She looked up and glared at Armaan. He gave her a questioned look. "How could I forget what you did to me" she snapped angrily and pushed him away. Armaan frowned, "It was your own fault, princess" he snapped back, looking at her thigh. Shilpa couldn't believe what she was hearing. "MY fault" she semi yelled. Armaan looked at her, "Remember you need my help and I have no time for this" he exclaimed. Shilpa felt so stupid. Why am I always looking for a reason to argue? She asked herself. "It's okay, you don't have to say sorry" Armaan sarcastically said. He walked to the wall and grabbed the golden sword. "Princess wait here, I will be back in a few minutes" Shilpa gave him a questioned look. He winked at her, took the sword and left. There she stood alone in the middle of a big dark room.
Shilpa was staring deep in her thoughts. What was happening to her? She asked herself. The second she entered this black kingdom she had seen and heard strange things. First she heard the whispering female voice and then the footsteps. Shilpa didn't know what to do. DAB had a map on his back! She had to find out what it was. Shilpa was walking through the room. Suddenly the lights went off. She looked around in the darkness. "DAB, First I'm not scared and second this is not funny so put the lights on" she snapped angrily. It was quit for a few seconds. "DAB I swear I'm going to kill you!" she semi yelled. Armaan didn't say anything. Shilpa was getting angrier. She walked to the door and stopped immediately when she heard rattling chains and hard footsteps in the hall. Shilpa looked from the doorway. She wanted to know who it was. She looked at the young man in the hall. He was wearing black pants. His shirt was torn and his muscular chest was visible. His ankles were red because of the large chains around it. "What was this guy doing here?" Shilpa asked herself. The young man turned his head to the door. Shilpa looked at his face. She could only see his beautiful dark blue eyes. She looked at his eyes for a few seconds. She had seen those eyes before but she didn't know when. The young man walked to the door. Shilpa closed her eyes and hold her breath. "Don't let him open the door" she prayed. The young man looked at the door for a few seconds but then left. Shilpa opened her eyes and looked at the man. The hard chains scraped the skin on his ankle. But the strong man walked with difficulty away. "Who did that to him?" Shilpa wondered. Thousands of questions were running through her mind. Those dark blue eyes, Shilpa thought. She closed her eyes for a few seconds when she opened her eyes it was quit again. She took a deep breath and walked to the torch. "Armaan where are you?" she called. "I'm in the hall princes, it's dark and I can't see anything. Can you please bring the torch to me?" Armaan asked. Shilpa frowned and walked to the hall. She looked around but she didn't saw him. "Where are you?" she asked. He didn't answer. "Armaan?" she asked while walking through the long hall. "I'm here, princess" He said. Shilpa looked around but she still couldn't see him. "I don't see you" Shilpa snapped angrily. She heard footsteps at the end of the hall. Must be Armaan she told herself and walked to the end of the hall. With each step the sound of the footsteps became louder and louder. Shilpa stopped in front a big door. It was quit for a few seconds. "I'm here, Princess". Shilpa's eyes grew wide. This wasn't Armaan's voice. It was the voice of a woman. "How's that possible?" she asked herself. "Shilpa Amadora Amelia, I was waiting for you?" the woman whispered. Shilpa turned around and wanted to run away but Shilpa Amadora Amelia doesn't fear the death. So she turned back.
"What do you want" Shilpa asked.
"First come closer and I will tell you" the woman whispered from behind the door.
Shilpa doubted but took a few steps to the door.
" What do you want?" she asked again.
"That's not close enough, come closer… closer" the woman whispered.
Shilpa glared at the locked door and took a few more steps to the door. "Tell Me," She snapped.
It was quit for a few seconds. Shilpa was getting angry.
"Closer" the Woman whispered.
"Dahm it! You witch!" Shilpa yelled angrily. The woman burst out laughing! Shilpa glared at the locked door and wanted to walk away. "Don't you wanna know what DAB did to your grandmother?" the woman asked. Shilpa stopped immediately. "How do you know my grandmother?" Shilpa asked. The woman started giggling. "Of course I know who your grandmother is. She's with me" The woman whispered. Shilpa looked at the door. "I don't believe you" she snapped. "Wanna see her?" the woman asked. Shilpa looked at the door. There was a small hole in it. She didn't know what to do. What if the woman wasn't lying? Shilpa thought. "I won't mind. You can have a look" The woman whispered. Shilpa slowly bent down. She moved her face closer and closer to the hole. Her forehead almost touched the hard wooden door. She closed one eye and tried to look through the small hole but she couldn't see anything. She moved the torch closer to the door and again tried to look through the small hole. Her eyes grew wide. "Aaahhh!" she screamed and fell back. The torch fell on the floor. The woman started giggling again. "Is that what you wanted to see" the woman asked. Shilpa's heart was racing. She was panting. "Open the door and I will tell you everything, I promise" The woman whispered. "I would never open the door!"Shilpa semi yelled. It was quit for a few seconds but then she heard loud banging on the door. "Open the door" the woman said in a creepy voice. Shilpa crawled backwards. "I SAID OPEN THE DOOR" The woman yelled angrily. Shilpa heard a loud shrieking sound. She tried to cover her ears with her hands. She kept on crawling backwards until her back touched the other locked door. She tried to take a deep breath but the second her back touched the door the chains around the door stated rattling. Shilpa moved as fast as possible away from the door. "OPEN THE DOOR" another woman yelled from behind the other door. Shilpa lay in the middle of the corridor, not knowing what to do. She screamed, trying to get out of this horrible nightmare but it didn't help. She heard rattling chains, banging on all the doors and the shrieking sound only got louder and louder. Their cold, raspy breath was enough to scare the death out of her. "Where is DAB?" she thought. A hard, cold wind blew through the corridor. Shilpa couldn't open her eyes. The wind was too strong. "OPEN THE DOOR" they yelled one by one. "OPEN THE DOOR OR I WILL KILL YOU!" one of them yelled angrily. Banging on the doors got louder and louder. Shilpa tried to stand up but her thigh was hurting so much. She bit her lip and stands up. Shilpa forgot the pain in her thigh and run to the stairs. She stopped for a second and held her dress up so that she wouldn't fell on the narrow steps. She run upstairs and stopped in front of a big wooden door with chains around it. It was quit for a few minutes. "Shilpa" she heard. Shilpa looked up in shock "What's di doing here?" she asked herself. "Di is that you? Shilpa asked skeptical. "Catz please help me?" Louisa asked. "How did you came here" Shilpa asked. "I followed you, he got angry and locked me in here" Louisa said. Shilpa looked at the door and didn't know what to do. "Please Shilpa, it's cold and dark in here" Louisa almost begged her. Shilpa looked around trying to find something to break the lock. "I will help you di" Shilpa whispered. She looked around her but she couldn't see much in the darkness. "Take the ax" Louisa whispered. "I can't see anything, I'm going to talk to DAB about this" Shilpa said angrily. "Please don't leave me" Louisa begged her. Shilpa stubbornly turned around and was about to walk away when her foot touched something very hard. Shilpa glared, "Why me?!" she asked herself. She bent down, she wanted to know what it was. She grabbed the object and looked at it. It was an ax. "Should I break the lock" Shilpa asked herself. She turned back. "I found it" she said. Louisa smiled, "Please open it fast. I'm so scared" Louisa replied. Shilpa didn't know what to do. Her dad had told her to never open a closed door. She looked at the ax in her hand and then at the locked door. She decided not to open the door. "I can't do this di" Shilpa whispered. It was quit for a few seconds and then Louisa started crying. "Please open the door" she said with a sob. Shilpa's eyes grew wide and the ax fell out of her hand. This wasn't Louisa, she would never cry Shilpa thought. She took a step backwards and another step backwards. Thank god she didn't break the lock. Louisa's voice changed into a creepy female voice. "OPEN THE DOOR YOU WITCH!" the girl yelled. "OPEN IT!" she said with her mesmerizing voice. Shilpa's mind was telling her to run away but her hands weren't listening. Her hands grabbed the ax and tried to break the lock.
Shilpa took a deep breath. One more time and the lock would break. She held the ax above her head, ready to break the lock! Just when she was about to break the lock, two strong hands stopped her. Shilpa turned around and looked into two beautiful golden brown eyes.
Hope you all like it!
