Chapter 20

Manyata's pov

I awoke slowly, my head aching. Welcome back to reality. I groaned and rolled over trying to ease off back to sleep but found it futile. Urg, why? "Whyyy?" I cried into the pillow. No. This can't be happening. Please.I heard a brief noise come from the corner and cringed.Aw God, what was that?! It sounded like a a sharp constant thwang.It was sickening. I heard a sigh from the corner and realized that it was probably UV. Oh. Now I remember. That bas***d choked me out! I could've died. He could've killed me! I remember it now. The sinking feeling in my stomach when I could no longer breathe. Black dots clouded my vision, I looked into his eyes pleading. All I got back were those dark, cold

eyes, always analyzing. Always there. That sicko.

I wasn't going to talk to him. No. That idiot. He nearly killed me. I could be dead right now. No hope ever of escaping this place. So no, I wasn't going to talk to him. Under no circumstan--"You pack a pretty hard punch there,that's very feisty". I heard him mutter. I kept my head in the pillow, not responding, but I felt smug.

Serves him right to get punched in the face. I wouldn't give him the decency of my response. The noise came from his direction again. Torture. No. After all this

man had done to me. The silent treatment was the least I could do at the moment. Plus, inside I couldn't help but feel a small sliver of me becoming more and more afraid of him. He didn't show emotion. He just stared. Observing. I was no match for those eyes, they were heartless and dark. They showed nothing and gave nothing away. The sickening noise came from the corner again and rang inside my head. Stop.

"You gonna answer me love?" He asked quietly. The noise came again. It was like nails on a chalkboard, and I cringed. Stop. Stop. "Hm?" I could hear his foot tapping constantly. The sound slowly worked its way into my brain. Thump. Thump. It went through my ear, shooting over all the nerve endings and resounding in my brain. It echoed around in my skull like church bells. Constant, steady, and

growing louder by the second. Thump. THUMP. THUMP. Deep breaths Manyata.You're probably just having an anxiety attack. Near death experiences will cause

that. The heart-wrenching noise echoed. It waslike the sound of asteel string pulled taunt, sharp, loud.I shoved my head deeper down into the pillow to try to block it out but suddenly it was everywhere. I couldn't

breathe. "Manya--" "STOP!" I screamed throwing the covers off of me.I looked over to see his face contorted to one of almost...amusement? He hadn't even

flinched. "Good morning sunshine." He glanced up at me one more time before returning to the small round object in front of him.

I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it.

Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold...' I couldn't think of any other

like circumstance. A young woman who is driven to madness by the eye of another. The sound which stuck in the man's head leaving him off-his-rocker. This was me currently. Frightened by his eyes, nearly insane as the noises filled my head. What was happening to me? The sound came again and I looked slightly above those dark eyes. I gasped. To my horror, he. was. stitching. himself. Holding the

mirror with one hand and the needle with the other, he had already completed 3/4

of the gash above his eye. The string slid through the flesh above his eyebrow

and he winced only a little, than looked up at me. "You look like you've

seen a ghost, dollface. What's wrong? doll?" He licked his lips. I

couldn't take it. The contents of my stomach some how found their way up

to my mouth and I ran to the bathroom. I slammed the door shut and that was all

she wrote. I prayed of all the times he would have to bother me this wouldn't be

one of them. Weak, vulnerable and trembling I was finally done. I got up and

washed off my face and mouth. I looked at myself in the mirror. Frail, scared.

What was I going to do? Where were the police already? I tried to laugh but it

came out mostly as a cry. Come on guys. Make your entrance! You've waited long

enough Rohan Nanda! Something out of my peripheral vision caught my eye and

I jumped, groggily looking over at UV. "Aw, poor Manyata." His eyebrow was

red and swollen, with the stitches crudely crossed over the skin.

By that stitch job I was also guessing he was the one who stitched my arm. I shoved past him and crawled back into the bed pulling the covers over my head. "Leave. Me. Alone." Alright, Manyata. That's all you need to give to this guy. He doesn't deserve your time. "Oh, Manyata, I am hurt." "Shut up." I didn't want to deal with him right now. Be annoying I don't care. Try to touch me? I'll fight back. "But I don't want to leave you alone." I could pratically feel his voice ooze over me, chilling me to the bone. "In fact, I was thinking.

Tomorrow we should have dinner. The two of us for once." I could hear the smirk

in his voice. I sat up in bed to see that he had regained his position in the

chair. I popped my head up lazily and glanced down at him. "I'll clean up

this too, don't worry," he tapped the crudely drawn stitches on his eyebrow and

I cringed.Vaguely remembering that I wasn't supposed to be talking to

him-- "No," I answered darkly. "Come on. It'll be fun, doll." He

mopped his dark brown hair away from his forehead and his eyes landed on me

again. I've said it a million times and I'll say it again. What. a. creep. I

would never, ever, ever have dinner with this guy! Are you kidding me? This UV

the Ripper Romeo? Yeah. Right. You kidnapped me idiot. I wanted to shake that

knowledge deep into his brain, so that it settled in to his cerebelum and stay

there. "Never."

He glared at me, and I glared back. "You look scared, Manyata." "I'm not scared." "You're a bad liar." I gave him my most loathsome look and he smirked. The look he was giving me sent chills down my spine. "Whatever, just wait until I get out of here..." "Yeah right," UV rolled his eyes, and I swallowed hard, only slightly doubting myself. This time I watched him closely though, I noticed for once that his eyes slightly darted away from me for a fleeting second. What? "Nervous UV?" I growled. He gave me a side-long glance. I needed him to break.

To show weakness. Anything I could get out of him. I needed to know where he was weak and how I could use it to my advantage. "No," he sniffed. "You're also a

bad liar." UV put his head in his hand. "This is why I like you Babes." "Shut up." I turned away from him and heard him sigh. "Leave." "So..." he drawled. "it's a date tomorrow?" I turned around and huffed at him, giving him a look that resembled crazy. I'm sure with my rat nest hair and bulging eyes I looked like I was insane. My eye might have even twitched. He looked the slightest bit startled. "I think you're going a little crazy.""Then let me out." He simply sighed and turned around giving me a forlorn look before closing the door. "It's alright Manyata. We all go a little crazy sometimes."Crazy my ass he is the complete definition of craziness.

"She is a traitor,kill her,destroy her,give her the taste of pain ."

Whispers filled in his ears .

His mind echoed with strange noises and whispers all over again and again.

He threw the glass from his hand filled with alchol that crashed into millions of tiny crystals of glass sparkling like a diamond from the lights refecting from the chandelier ,the glass break down making a sound of thuddd... on the red carpet of the floor.

The strange voices stopped for a second pressed by the sound of crash of the glass.

His face was stressed and exhausted like he has fought a war .

He put the palms of his hands to cover the ears that was filled with voices .His body was exhausted beyond ,the voices, that whispers were draining the energy of his consciousness and sanity of his mind.

He sat on his knees on the red carpet the crystals of fine particles of glass pierced his knees but that was nothing as he urgently need to relieve this exhaustion.

His head bent low his palms covering his ears his back hunched,his hair dishevelled ,the voices crashed his ears like a drum beating on his high beat .the voices,the noises,the whispers crashed down his thinking and he screamed to the the top of lungs .the pain inflicted his brain his ears.

His body gave up and he lost his conscious state to hands of evil laugh that laughed seeing his state from there goblet filled with steam overflowing through it.

"Haaahhhaaa!!!!,aahhhaahh..."her laughter slowed down from her high crystalline pitch voice ."These mortals are so lame ,love to play with them."spoke a women with her hair pitch black with streaks of green in it.

"Don't push their boundary Trishna ,we need them ,who can hurt more lethal than their loved one."spoke a women with white and black color streaks of hairs

Their eyes were pitch black with no pupil,claded in balck hooded coats they look at each other and smirked .

"Let's continue ,he had his little break "in a mischievous tone Trishna spoke to her.

"Can't you see,that he has lost his consciousness"she interrupted her.

"Oh..common ,now don't be a spoil sport Chaaya,we can still seek inside his dreams and change them "her foxy features were clearly enhancing her face as the fog cleared her appearance.

"Whatever"Chaaya spoke in non-caring attitude as she was defeated by Trishna's convincing powers.

"Please Brij I can't handel this anymore if you can't stand against your mother than how can you stand against you daughter".

"Brij,she framed me,she is the one who defamed me I can't face people anymore."

"You can't marry a dancer Brij she is no match to this kingdom."

"If you against my will I will destroy her and you Brij we need a a blue blooded queen not a dancer."

"How could you data ,you betrayed my mother ,your wife,children of your mother for that wh**e"

"I just want you to be happy Brij even though I am not with you.Love never dies nor leaves them."

"I am leaving Brij I have become burden to you ,my love has become a hurdle in between you and throne of devghad."

"Your mother has done all this why me ? why does she hate me so much?"

"Do you have no courage are you not the son of your mother how can you not stop you daughter from sending my son to jail."

"You are a coward Brij,you can't even control your daughter how can you control your kingdom . "

"If no one fears from you then how can you rule them."

He woke up startled by the taunting memories of his past.

"No,there will no one to control me now onwards I am the king and I will choose my own heir .Manyata you will pay for everything." He spoke in tired but determined tone.

He thumbed a number on his phone.

With few rings a voice from the other side of the phone spoke.

Brij:I have a plan, let's kill Manyata.
