ArHi FF! Dante's Labyrinth: Thread 1 [Completed] - Page 50

They say emotions ruin you, in fact I happen to be one of the people who "they" constitutes.

Mind games are an interesting phenomenon, and above all something I've dabbled in myself. I want to share this story with you and anybody reading this comment, it is closely related to the games I think that are being referred in this chapter, between Tara and Khushi. and I only do this on the bonus of nobody really knowing who I am or rather, what I am.

So when I was around 5 or maybe 6, my cousins (Who were twins and were as old as I was) proposed a little game (My aunt had to leave in an urgent meeting and after extracting promises of us being good girls, she left us). Now according to the game, I was to sit still with my eyes closed and let them have their own sweet way with me, followed by which they would return the favor.

So I closed my eyes and felt myself being led somewhere. I heard the door being open and wanted to open my eyes, but I was afraid of being called a wuss, something I had been aiming not to, because my cousins never really liked me. I always thought that maybe I had done something wrong but as I grew older I realized it had nothing to do with me but more with their insecurities about who all the family loved more. But I am getting ahead of myself, let us get on with the story.

So I felt myself being led out, and then I felt the cold night air sting my cheeks. I was dressed in noting but shorts and a thin t shirt, and it being January in Delhi, I was freezing. My cousins kept talking to me, telling me that the challenge was nearly over and suddenly, the talking stopped. I opened my eyes, to realize that I was all alone in the middle of the road (their house being in a colony, and they lived on the ground floor), at midnight.

All alone.

In the dark.

Not one soul in sight.

Dressed in shorts and a thin shirt.

In January.

I can't even tell you how angry I was then. I was beyond angry, I was livid. I went bad to the door and banged and demanded that I be allowed to enter the house.

Do you know what they said?

They said "The final part of the challenge is to stay out of the house the whole night"

And now begins the game. I was angry, I was beyond livid. They say love changes you in ways impossible. They lie. Love may or may not change you. Anger always does. And in my rage, sitting on the cold steps leading to the house, I planned revenge.

You can laugh, thinking what can a 6 year old girl dream up sitting outside in the cold, but trust me ... I wasn't even feeling cold because of all the blood that rushed to my cheeks. I sat outside on the cold steps, planning my revenge.

And thus, the mind games began.

arnav and khushi are obviously very good at playing games and twisting every words!

Very nice update...feel there more to Arnav than one may think...he very observant...

Wow ..itz lovely 👍🏼

the story is getting darker and meaner.

so tara was a weird and curious kid and that had adverse affect on kushis mental health ...if it was holding the breath game lack of oxygen to the brain may have caused architectural changes in the brain , which could explain kushi state of mind...

So this is a place where the truly insane are trying to pass off as sane and the sane ones are seeking the shelter of insanity? The toughest part is always to decide when Khushi is lying, specially in the previous chapter :-/

Interesting update
So Arnavs starting to sus out khushi
He seems to be very much in control I'm actually wonder if he could maybe be a plant n he is as sane as khushi
Khushi's sis is getting more interesting from what khushi has said it looks like her sis wasn't as angellic as she let on
As for the games they played her sis adding to the stakes sounds like she was more competitive than khushi
Anyways thanks for pm plz keep em comin n continue soon

Oh my goodness... I couldn't stay from the story for long.. literally each time i see the story in the list.. i just move on.. it didn't last long, did it?

I think my baby would be more strong if i read this.. that is all.. i couldn't come up with anything else for me to keep reading this..

it is so intriguing.. every character.. I can see the competition between Shyam and Khushi.. Shyam is trying to strike the cord that would reveal the truth.. sometimes he succeeds and sometime Khushi succeeds in confusing him.. He is very very ethical man and I see no harm coming from him..

Khushi for me looks like sane mostly but some time I feel she killed her sister.. as the part of games they were playing..

Payal is another story.. she didn't want to die but she wanted to feel that pleasure of loosing sense..

Khushi theory of Akash not being insane; kinda of makes sense.. he might not be insane but his sane mind was not ready to believe that he is sane.. so acting insane to prove himself and others..

I am enjoying reading it..
