The Dark Princess Chapter8 pg4 [Updates after March 3 2017 ] A/N@ PG1

. The Dark Princess.

Chapter -1

I opened my eyes slowly, I was in a dark room. I was lying on the ground, the floor was cold. I tried moving my body but it felt too inert for any movement. I lacked energy. Suddenly the door swung open. I again pulled my lashes down. The sudden light forced me to do this. Few men entered in and lifted my body. They made me sit on a chair.

"Okay, now u have to get ready for the auction" he ordered me.

My eyes again flew open auction no ways.

" What " I gave an instant reply, I wasn't getting ready for any auction stuff.

He held my cheeks in b/w his fingers and pressed them.

"Get ready for the it" he said with gritted teeth. They held a white shirt and black pants for me. I was given that.

"NO. I won't" I protested.

" U have no other option. " He hit a thick wodden rod at my feet. I hissed in pain.

"10 mintues, just 10 get ready." He ordered me. I was shocked. The doo was locked again for a few seconds when a man re- entered.

He was tall and thick. He had an inch tape in his hand.

"Remove ur cloths" he ordered.

I stood motionless processing the command. He held a wooden stick. He hit me bad on my left leg.

"Stripe" he commanded again helpless I removed my shirt. It was torn and so were my pants. I stood there in my boxers.

He glared at me. My eyes glued to the ground.

"That too" he ordered again pointing to the only garment on my bare body. I was in shock unable to get his words when he hit me again brutally.

"Can't you hear. " He shouted.

I now stand nude in front of him. He measured my shoulders, chest, height and then most embarrassingly my private parts. I felt humiliated.

"Clean ur self asap " he pushed me into a washroom.

Having no option, I tried to have a bath to get out of the humiliation. It wasn't working at all. I moved out, I have been beaten up badly before only, I have no engery to fight back. He weighed me. He was recording everything. The shirt was transparent yet fresh. I don't know for how many days these animals have caught me n beaten me up. He yanked me to a hall, it was full people mostly women, as I scanned few seemed gay n the rest were men. All seemed rich.

A guy pulled me into this crowed of 20- 30 people.

"The next boy gentlemen n beautiful ladies" he gripped my elbow. Pulling me close to him. 5 feet 9 inches tall, young 23 years, black hair, brown eyes.." he continued to add on my sizes my bisep, my chest, my ... My private parts' size too were mentioned. I closed my eyes enable to bear the torture n humiliation.

"8 lakhs" suggested a man.

"10" he was crossed by a lady.

"12" he cut her again

"16" poped up another gay boy.

"20" the same lady suggested once again.

"21" the gay was still in the competition.

"28" she this time silenced all.

He pushed me in her feet. She smiled winningly.

"Congrats for the new slave" he congratulated her. She grinned and threw a bundle of notes to him.

"Nice job, Adnan" she adresed n appreciated him. I Lifted my eyes to look at her. White skin, silk black hair and dangerous blue eyes. She was looking like a perfect dark princess. I stood up and adjusted her black gown. She gripped my elbow and pulled me along.

" Let me go " I asked her to leave me.

She didn't react to me instead kept on pulling me with her. Quite strangely beautiful her appearance was, she wasn't any normal girl. Her grip, her strength was different. She was effortlessly pulling me and I a 23 year man could not even pull out of her grip. My constant efoorts were all draining like water in sewage.

"Stop that non sense, u won't be able to get out of my grip"she coldly halted my unnecessary moments.

"What you want?" I quized her.

" You" she replied looking at me.

We reached a BMW and she made me sit next to the drivers seat and moved to the driver's seat. She sat and ignited the engine.

"Ma'am pls let me go,pls, I will pay off ur these 28 lakhs "

She smiled at my statement. She accelerated the car.

"By the way call me Swara, what's ur name"

"Sanskaar"

"Only Sanskaar"

"Hmm yes , Sanskaar Maheshwari"

"Woah.. I big name"

I gazed -down. But then questioned her again.

"What's ur full name Ma'am?"

" Swara Stevenson "

I frowned.

She smiled at it.

"My mother, Alice loved this name "

I nodded and looked down and then out remembering the events from the beginning.

Flashback-

I was a happy young IT guy giving my services in Bangalore untill three months before, it was a Wednesday, I reached home.

"Maa" I called out but go no response

"Papa" but the silence still prevailed.

I moved here and there into the whole house, perhpas they were out. I checked for our car it wasn't there. I sighed. I checked the kitchen mom had made the dinner. My stomach was aching due to hunger, I quickly freshened up and seated for the dinner. In b/w my phone rang. Too busy I denied the call. But it continued to ring, stuffing my mouth with another spoonful of rice I finally held the phone.

It was an unknown no.

"Hello" I answered the call with my mouth stuffed.

"Sanskaar Maheshwari there" the person quized

"Yes"

"Sir ur parents Sujata and Ram Maheshwari are unfortunately no more in this world"

I almost splattered out rice from my mouth.

"WHAT??, See Mr. If u r joking I am telling u I hate thwse kinds of jokes and pranks, stop all this!!" I denied believing the news. How could I ?? My mother and father, no this wasn't happening.

" I appollogise sir, if u can then pls do come to City Hospital "

I in a panic washed my hands and fleed my bike there to the hospital. I ran Inside. I enquired the receptionist.

"Excuse me, there was a case of Sujata and ..."

"Yes" she cut me in b/w

"Are u Sanskaar Maheshwari"

"Yes"

"Straight and left ward no. Four they both..." I didn't pay attention to her words further and ran to my father n mother. I entered the ward. I could see the doctor removing the devices and ventilator. I ran to the lifeless bodies of my parents. I shaked them but no response.

"Maa.. Papa ... " I shaked them but no response. I broke down. Few hours back we had a phone convo I never knew my fate won't even allow a last conversation with my mother and father. Now i held there dead bodies in my arms.

There car crashed with a huge truck. They were badly injured and as the doctor narrated they only chanted my name till the end.

Flashback-ends------

I wiped the corner of my eyes, I did not wish to cry atleast in front of her. She passed my a tissue paper. I refused and again fixed my gaze out of the window. She held my hand. She was surprisingly cold even in the car. Her skin was still pale. To be precise pale then any other normal human. She left my hand.

"Death is natural, vital and unrecoverable" she Said. I almost gasped a corollary of the shock I received.

I again choose to look out. My thoughts drifted back a week ago. After my parents died my life was dull, days spent in office infact Sundays. I just came back home to sleep or sometimes not. I resisted returning back, the house haunted me with their memories. One night I took the worst decision of my life. It was a week before. I left the office around 2:30 am in the mrng. My eyes were red, the past half hour I had spent crying even in my office. With swollen red eyes I drove my bike back to home but my journey remained incomplete perhaps forever. I had to halt in b/w on a lonely dark road in the middle of the night. I saw men with rods around.

Sa- what you want?

A guy- U.

Sa- what ?

They didn't speak any further but the next moment hot my head hard enough to break my helmet. I held my hair. I screamed in pain as I lossed my balance and fell off my bike.

Sa- Take my wallet and phone just leave me.

I did not protest because I am no Salman Khan or Rajnikanth to fight those 10 thick fat men who had several weapons to start with Chian and rods to knives etc. I just wanted to get out of the situation. I wanted to go back in my loneliness. They brushed my words aside and begun to beat me brutally. Perhaps there I lost My conscious.

I don't remember what's the next time when I opened my eyes I was tied and was perhaps in a van or car. I tried hotting the doors when a person actually opned it. He wasn't my angel or saviour, he was one of them he removed the cloth from over my mouth and made me drink water. I ended up drinking the whole bottle. While going Adam's wine I realised I had a bad pain in my body. Before I could give much of my attention to it I fell down, perhaps asleep.

My next encounter with them was literally very cold. They threw ice cold water on my face drenching my cloths. They threw a dry chapati to me. I was half dead and almost out of my senses. They commanded to have it. I knew it was better to die them to be here. I have no reason to live as well. I simply turned my head and refused to have it.

One of the two men standing infront of me was enraged he was about to slap me, I had closed my eyes but couldn't feel any push. Thanks to his cellphone, it saved me. They cut the call n clicked my picture. Ofcourse I was not in a photogenic position. My average looking face was already red blue and black as I could see from my reflection. My shirt and pants were torned up. I could feel the cool breeze burning my wounds. I was made to sit on a chair. The pace reassembled a garage. I could smell the rubber, fuels. Oils and grease around me. They returned back with some good quality food. I now began to wonder why?. They were speaking in an unfamiliar dielct they simply signalled me to have the meal. There was sizzling food in front of me and here I was hungry since long. I grabbed the meal.

One person again passed my a glass of water it seemed transparent but tasted unfamiliar. It had a drug or something else I couldn't answer but ofcourse it had something that made me sleep instantly. Before closing my eyes I saw his phone blinking. It should the date 4days after my kidnapping.

The next and finally but the most embarrassing was my last encounter with them in the dark room.

Flashback ends------

After which I am here. I glared at her. I let a warm breath out. This lady was breath taking I thought.

She turned to me at the very instant - " Thank you so much" she replied my thought process.

She empty her bronchi and murmured to herself - " Men will be men."

I gasped once again, it's not my mind playing games this girl can actually read my mind. I glared at her In confusion. She smirked and continued to drive.

Perhaps she was right men will be men. I was kidnapped, beaten up and sold yet seeing a beauty like her makes me forget my pain. I let a sigh out. She was a princess indeed, her dress had loose sleeves one of which slipped down her shoulder revealing her milky skin and a but of her cleavage.

A chill ran through my spine as she threw a tough glare at me. I gulped she halted the car and adjusted her dress. Idk if she could read my mind but if she could I am loving it, her anger and rage made her look cute. I smiled widely and blushed as I tried hiding it.

"U men won't ever change" she taunted irritated.

I shurrged my shoulders." I am a normal potense man, what r u expecting then. "

"Egghhh... Never knew u could be this cheap Mr. IT guy. Sanskaar "

I narrowed my eyes at her comment.

"Excuse me!!! For what else have u purchased me. And what's wrong, I am just admiring ur Beauty. I wasn't that lustful" I protested

She smiled sarcastically.

"Don't tell me, pls. I know you all men r the same. "

"Oh really!!"

"Y were u doing anything different except for gazing at my clevage"

I rolled my eyes.

"Come On. I am not a gay Miss Swara."

She nodded her head and to avoid argument I turned to my face towards the window. As soon as my attention diverted from my past and this dangerous beauty it shifted to my hunger. I had lions roaring there.

My stomach was aching due to starvation. I missed my mother,she never let me stay hungry and in her absence now nobody even cares weather I am dead or alive leave apart my meals. I wiped the water that twinkled at the corner of my eyes.

"Why do u have to think negative always??" She questioned.

"What do u mean?" I replied in a low almost wet voice. I had no energy to debate with her.

"What would you like to eat?" She asked me.

"Poison" I gave a cold reply

"Be serious"

"I am serious can't u see, it's better u give me poison"

"Can pls shut up" she almost shouted upon me

"I am sorry, I can't" I replied irritated

" Ughh.. stop ur nonsense. What makes u so annoyed and irritated"

" What makes me annoyed n irritated!!!, How can u even question that? I had a simple beautiful life n u people kidnapped me, Beated me, Checked me out and humiliated me, u have purchased me as if I am a non living object. Why the hell should I not be annoyed?"

I gave an irritated reply.

" Like really, have beautiful life or lonely alone life." She crossed me.

"WHATEVER, Whatever it was lonely, alone, boring but it was better than being humiliated. Got It my Master. " I snapped at her.

Her blue hipnositising eyes gleamed rage and irritation. I zipped my tongue. I a 23 year man was scared of a girl younger to me. Ahh atleast she seems so. She seems atleast a year or two younger.

"U r r8, I am younger to u and U should fear me" she snapped at me.

"What the .. how can u read my mind, and who r u? How do u know so much about me?" I bombarded her with questions. It was wrong, absolutely wrong for her to n read my mind again and again. I need some privacy.

"Don't bother me." She warned

Her eyes sparkled, they were blue as a vitrol, yet dangerous. Her eyes were truly bule vitrol like beautifully Dangerous. I shut my mouth n glared out. I tried not to think any thing. Alas, it wasn't possible. I was having thoughts and thoughts n all were about food. I was dieing out of starvation.

She glared at me again. I can always sense her gaze. Irritated I shouted at her.

"WHAT,NOW??"

She let a sigh out n continued driving. We halted at a hotel. It was a big 5 star hotel. I glanced at my clothes. Cheap, the only thing that stuck my mind. How will I enter in ? She again read my.indd or something. We moved to a dark parking area. She heself parked the car and then asked me to come out. We moved to an elevator there. She pressed the button to the 20th floor. It took us about a half a minute or so to reach there. We both reached a silent floor. She moved and I filled her to a room. She unlocked it and we entered in. I took a sigh of relief. After all I wasn't seen in these cheap clothes by anyone. I could see her smiling again.

"Take these" she kept a pair of jeans and Shirt on the king sized bed.

I moved there and moved to the washroom when she shouted again.

"One minute, don't dress up in the washroom. U might have got hurt badly, come out I will put ointment."

I almost blushed and perhaps smiled like an idiot. In my 23 years of life she is the first girl to give me some attention.

"Are U sure??" I immediately bluttered.

"About WHAT??"

"Woh that u will apply the ointment!!"

She pressed her nose and frowned. She was clearly irritated by my question. Her white skin had foldes at the forehead.

"YES! Now go " she replied, her tone dripped irritation

I felt excited. I moved to the washroom but for once halted at the mirror to check her reaction. She stood stiff.

"Jindagi Jhand H " I thought and began to move when her red lips curled into a genuine beautiful smile. Did she read my mind again?? Or she just laughed, whatever I am amused she serious if dangerous pale yet beautiful face was lightened up with the smile on her red lips. Her blue eyes dripped joy. I smiled back as I saw her reflection on the mirror and left.

I stood under the shower, thankfully this one was hot. The warm water at first was pinching but then later soothed my pain. All the time my thoughts drifted back to her, perhaps the only living being in my life after three long months. I miss my mom and dad so much. This made my heart heavy. I moved out of the washroom I wrapped a towel around my waist. And wore my shirt, I did not button it. My chest was clean n well built. I sighed atleast now I felt my gym membership was worth.

I saw her, she stood up from the bed I could see some lust funeraled beneath her blue eyes. I was in no mood to talk. I moved to the mirror coldly. I stood there brushing my hair, I slowly applied ointment on my wounds. I Lifted my eyes n saw her standing at door of washroom for a fraction of second she glanced at me or perhaps my notice broke her Trance, she moved in. I could sense longing in her eyes. For what N y I can't state. I applied ointment on my legs n wore the jeans she gave me. I tried applying ointment on my back. It is a tough task. I heard the washroom door open with a click sound, I glared at her for a second. She wore a blue top n black jeans. Her long silk hair were tangled. I shifted my attention back to my own wounds. I hissed in pain. I felt a strong tug at my hand she positioned and moved my body accordingly to take off my shirt. I now stood bare chest in my jeans with her. I couldn't tell y but her big bue eyes were watery as if she could feel my pain. She slowly applied the ointment on my back. Leaving me all confused about who is she? Why am I here and what she want? She for now is a Dark Princess to me.

"U r R8, I am a Dark Princess, Mr. Maheshwari" she replied n once again I was Shocked. Now I can absolutely state one thing, This girl can truly read my mind it's no myth. I let a sigh out.

Chapter -2

She slowly removed my shirt and applied Ointment on my back. Her hands are really feather like. I enjoyed her touch. I was hissing in pain yet I was enjoying her touch.

Soon she moved back. I noticed her hight in the mirror she was tall. Atleast taller tahn any normal Indian Girl. She was around 5 feet 8 inches or plus. She reached my hight almost yet not completely.

"U r short , Mr. Maheshwari" she said with a smile.

I frowned and turned to her only to question "How?" I mean it was clear she was near to my height but not taller.

"5feet 8 and a half inches plus 6 inches heal and I am 6 feet 2 and a half inches tall. U still remain 5 feet 9 inches. "

She replied. A naughtorious smile played on her lips.

"Okay ur highness" I bowed my head.

"Better" she replied and giggled.

I smiled when we heard the door knocked. Our gaze shifted to it. I unlocked it and the waiter brought in sizzling food. He left. I was hungry as hell but waited for her to start. She kept gazing at me. She pulled my hand. I can still say she is very strong. Stronger than a normal girl. Effortlessly she pulled to a side of bed.

"Sit " she directed.

I followed. She then served me delicious and sizzling Malai kofta and naan. Along with dal and rice. The food was rich and delicious. I just couldn't wait for her to even sit or serve herself but I started stuffing my mouth. I know I should be controlled. But hunger over powers every sense and trace of mannerism in me.

After 5 minutes or so I Lifted my gaze to find her smiling at me. Her eyes showed longing, emptiness and love. More than she could read my mind I can read her eyes.

"Won't you eat?" I quized her.

"NO!!, U enjoy the meal"

"Why?? Won't you feel hungry!" I asked when my mouth dripped dal.

"No!! U don't worry about that. "She responded.

"Why? Don't u feel hungry!" I again shouted a question at her.

"U concentrate on ur malai kofta and naan, not in me." She said and smiled shaking her head.

I shrugged my shoulders and drowned myself in the delicious kofta gravy. I filled my moth again with a morsel again.

"By the way, y r u taking care of me so much ? I mean I am ur slave, u could have beaten me up, used my body. Given me old torn clothes.."

I was speaking with my mouthful continuously when I coughed. She ran and patted my back. She made me drink water.

"U want that, the slave treatment" she asked raising her eyebrow.

I thew her a -" Are u mad " look.

She hit my head.

"Now shut up and have this dinner. Buddhu."

I smiled, I felt light. But her statement drifted my memories back to my childhood, to my shona. My eyes watered again when Shona crossed my mind once again. I saw her face pale, her blue eyes shimmered in pain.

I felt hurt, perhaps this magic lady read my mind again. I simply held her hand and pecked it. She gasped in surprise. I smiled.

"Thank you" I whispered.

A soft smile spread on her red lips. There was inability in her pale coloured skin to put a blush on. I wanted to see it a baby pink blush on her milky skin and her blue eyes reflecting joy as they did now. I liked it now as well but I missed a blush. Her smile widened as she lifted her lashes and gaze from the floor and focused her vision back on me. She narrowed her eyes and her happiness dripped down through them.

I could read her eyes. I knew she read my mind again. This time her smile made me blush for unknown reasons.

I looked down and had my dinner she moved to a stool next to a wide window it showed a big huge garden. It was lighted with dim lights. She sat there and admired those art prices of nature in silvery moonlight. I completed my dinner and the dishes were taken away.

"Where I have to sleep?" I quized

"Offcourse on the bed,where else does one sleep!!"

"Are u sure, I mean then where will u sleep"

"The side of the bed adjecent to u, where else will I sleep u tell me!!"

"Okay, good night" I greeted her.

"Good night" she smiled

I rested on the bed upside down. My back ached like hell. Those animals have beaten me black and blue. I rested my head on the pillow when she stood up and came to me.i sat once again and she removed my shirt. She help me get back to my position on the bed. She slowly applied ointment. I was wincing In pain. I felt my back watery at a few places. Perplexed I turned to her, I could see her wipe moisture from her wet skin Beneath her eyes .

"Kya hua?" I quized her.

She glared at me and smiled.

"Nothing just an old friend Crossed the memory lane once again "

I nodded and lie back. She applied the ointment and almost slept. My lashes were heavy.I could feel her lie towards my side. For no reason she patted my head. My brain was dull and too numb. All I could do was to register her moments. She was calm and slow. She was patting my head slowly, her touch had compassion. Her touch was soothing, I was relived and easily drifted to sleep.

Next mrng-

My eyes flickered open. It was perhaps mrng. I saw her sleeping. One of my hand rested on her waist. This perhaps had happened when I was asleep. I slowly got up. It was 8 in the mrng. I heard her phone alarm ring. She stayed on the bed as if dead. I moved to her and touched her hand. She was ice cold. I patted her hand. But she stayed irresponsive.

"Swara" I wisphered.

But there was no response. I checked her breathing it my slow. Her lips were dry. This was spine chilling. I immediately ran and sprinkled water on her face. I patted her cheek and jept calling her name. To my relief she slowly opened her eyes.

"Are u okay?"I asked her tensed.

"Bring me the bottle sanskaar." She said slowly in a tiered voice. Her hand painted to the closet. I ran again and opened it there was a steel bottle.

"This one " I quized

"Yes" she nodded.

I took it to her. She snatched it from my hand and drank the complete fluid. She rested on the bed and exhaled.

" Thanks " she said n I looked on.

Her tone was exhausted. Her blue eyes were tiered. I saw the drops of the the liquid oozing out. It was deep red.

"What it was ?" I quized her.

"Food" she replied and wincked.

I pressed my nose and nodded. She in no time was standing in front of me. She moved to the Almera and handed me a royal blue shirt and black pants.

She took out a black knee length dress for herself.

"First u go and have a bath" I nodded

I started having a shower my wounds were much better. I soon moved out and she went inside. I was setting my messedwet hair when she came out. "My dark princess " I whispered under my breath. She instantly glared at me and then smiled. She moved past me. She was breathtaking beautiful.

"Thanks for the compliment Mr. Maheshwari" she smiled and turned back to me.

Now I am habitual, she reads my mind. I know that.

"How do u know about it?" I quized her.

She lifted her gaze and glared at me through the mirror. She smiled and wincked at me. I let a sight out. She giggled slowly. I sat on the bed having nothing to do I was glaring at her. She was applying a pin in her hair just at the back of her ear. She held a small little bead like pin and lifted her eye brows as she moved her hands to the exact position. The tip of her tongue touched the left tip of her lips while her hands moved to the right. It is not the first time I have seen a girl applying pins thus way. It have seen it before. It was.. was my .. shh.. "Shona..." I whispered it slowly.

She applied the pin and her hands were back to their normal position. Her eyes had a layer of moisture at the instant.

"How was she?" She questioned me in a wet voice.

"Who?" I frowned.

"Shona" she replied her voice shaky and wet.

I fell silent my thoughts drifted back to my old memories. My memories with my Shona.

"Beautiful" I said lost in those beautiful pink days of my life.

The moisture in her eyes increased yet she smiled.

"She was my friend or more, perhaps." I continued and she was looking at me with loads of unreadable emotions in her eyes. " She stayed with Shobha Kaki. What was her full name??.. amm.. " I tried to remember it, I was scanning through my memories. It stuck my mind and before I could speak her smiled widened and eyes filled even more with moisture. "Interesting. " I said and raised my eye brows and continued. "Her name was same as u Swara amm .. Han.. Swara Bose"

I smiled. Remembering her.

"U know Swara my Swara umm no no. My Shona was little pretty and cute. She used to dance around the colony. She was sooo chirpy, so naughty. We read in same school, same class. She was soo soo soo talkative that our teacher used to make her sit in b/w boys or to be precise with me. It was all in vain. Her mishchieves grew more with me and we use to end up standing out of the class, yet laughing." I giggled at the sunny memories. Swara follwed my emotions. She was giggling along.

"She was younger to me about 9 or 10 months." I described further.

"Then, what happened to her!!" She quized me.

Our face changed Colors. The memories which now stuck my mind were dark.

"Lost" I said my voice shaky and wet.

"She was lost. " I continued after a pause " One day, suddenly she was lost. Her dress and shoes were found in a jungle" the police assumed her being forced, murdered and then eaten up by some wild animal in the jungle. She was just 8 Swara, what was her sin to face the hell."

My eyes filled with tears. I couldn't help but dug my head in my pams, tears made their way out.

Swara ran to me, I was not in my senses. I pulled her into a tight hug. She didn't respond at first but then I could feel her hand, she rubbed her hand on my back and patted my hair. My tears continue to make her black dress wet.

"U know swara we were kids but somewhere our relationship was special. So pure and affectionate. I .. I somewhere loved her and I still do." I wisphered on her shoulder. I could dmfeel her tears as they moisturised my shirt. I continued to be there in that hug for long. Untill I gained my senses back. I broke the hug.

"I.. I am sorry Swara woh.. " I was drilling holes on the floor while I appollogised.

"No it's okay Sanskaar. Are u feeling better now." She questioned and I nodded. She caressed my face. Her blue big eyes showed an unknown emotion fsr from my understanding. I could somewhere connect to Swara the way I could connect to Shona.

She smiled as soon as I thought. She wiped her cheeks and dragged her suitcase.

"Let's go Sanskaar" she said.

"Where??" I asked.

She smiled moved closer to me, she was. Her eyes were seducing and body was inviting. She snaked her arms around my neck and pulled me close. She touched her nose with mine. She smiled and and whispered -" It's a secret Mr. Maheshwari. " She caressed my cheeks and wincked at me. I was numb.

She giggled and pushed me. I smiled and moved out with her.

We sat in her BMW. She ignited the engine and we began our journey.

Chapter -3

We were going through the roads stranger to me. Completely unknown like she was.

"Where are we?" I quized her

"Delhi" she replied.

I nodded and kept looking out. We reached IGIA. We moved inside to a private plane and the flight took off. In no time we were in Shimla.

It was cold she handed over me a Cardigan. It was black. She herself wore a long coat. We moved out. We sat in another BMW and reached a huge mansion. It was dark. White walls blue curtains, black interiors and red highlights. She pulled me in along. Her grip was tight. We directly halted at her room. We entered in and a servant followed us. She removed her heals and commanded the servant to take the clothes from the suitcase into laundry. He followed her directions. I wondered who was she? Was this person purchased like me? Was he a Slave or a Servant? Will I be doing the same things as him, I mean c'mon I am an educated and working independent guy. Aah.. atleast i was and I know I can still get better jobs if I try again and somewhere yes I felt like I didn't deserve to be a slave or servant, atleast not the one who will sweep her mansion and wash her clothes. No way!!

"Can u pls stop thinking rubbish" she shouted at me.

I was shocked she wasn't calm. She was upset here. Before I could converse and things could be clearer the door of her room swung open.

"Swara" I heard a feminine voice.

A middle aged lady ran and embraced her. She pecked her forehead. Swara stayed there in the lady's warm embrace. A wide smile was spread on their lips. I could see her relax in her arms. This wasn't the end until I could hear another man enter. I turned my gaze to him. He was elderly and authoritative. His face was stiff. He seemed to be a man of rare emotions.

"Swara" he braked in his rough tone. I was Startled. He moved forward and parted Swara and the lady. His eyes dripped rage. Even my dark princess was trembling yet she was staying rigid and still. He held her cheeks tight in b/w his fingers and pressed them hard.

"Is he the bloody Human?" He questioned her in a low dangerous voice.

She struggled to free herself and slowly in a voice that reflected determination said "y..yes.. he is the one, and U dare not speak that way!!"

The man loosened his grip over her and looked at me. I chill ran through my spine. His gaze was rage dripping he could have killed me at the moment. But then he ragefully strangled Swara. There was a huge havok I ran to him and along the lady tried to free her. I have to say he wasn't just a man but devil. He lifted Swara up holding her neck. I was shocked or beyond., Her feet were elevated up the ground.

"Oh God!" I shouted and tried to free Swara from his grip. In a fraction he held me with his other hand n hit my head hard on the wodden frame of the bed. He pressed my head on the bed sojarf that it felt it will burst into two.

"Leave him DAD!" I heard her shout.

Dad was he her father so cruel. And what was the fight about I wonder. I couldn't even register the happenings completely when another person entered. "DAD!" He screamed and the Devil loosened his grip over us. He left Swara and before she fell down the young man held her.

He caressed her hair. I was lying half on the bed with a bleeding head and loosing conscious, no body to even look at. She just ran to me and shaked me but I felt too numb to even respond to her. I was weak. Managing some energy I caressed her cheek and whispered -" I. I am okay u take care of urself."

I Lifted my head, it hurt badly and dragged my aching body to the night table. I rested my back along it and sat on the ice cold floor.

The young man came to her again and made her sit on the bed. He embraced her. Her tears flew out in his warmth.

"Bhai u know Na I... I can't marry anyone else." She addressed the young man in b/w her sobs.

"I know princess" he patted her cheek.

I sat on the floor glancing the family drama. I wonder where i fit into it. And why am I here infact?

"U did not turn him " her brother quized

"No not yet!" She replied.

"It's dangerous u know!!" Her brother warned her.

Their conversation was beyond my understanding. It confused me. I decided to close my eyes and drift to sleep.

I woke up and found myself alone in perhaps her room. I saw myself shirtless. I wonder what happened with me. She and her brother was sitting there and having some juices. Ahh what is this obsession with red. Why they always have the red fluids to be drunk. Is it wine? No it's impossible it's much more thicker. I wonder is it carrot, tomato or beatroot juice. Aahh.. it's still thick. What it must I wonder!! Wait I can think of her being on a diet drinking juices. But here her whole family seems to be on a date. GREAT. I slowly sat and felt my wounded back was bandaged.

Her brother saw me and passed me a white cotton soft shirt.

"Hey good evening! Take it" he said.

I caught the shirt and wore it. I saw a servant enter the room. He was occasionally glaring at me greedy as if I was some delicious dinning article.

"OUT, Soon " she commanded him. He left.

I stayed silent. I stood up, my warm feet got intimate with the cold floor. I shivered and the dizziness flew away. I looked upto her, she read my mind and pointed to a door at my back. I moved to the washroom and washed my face. I halted at my bare chest. I smiled it was perfect accept for the bruises on it. I have been beaten brutally these days. Now I have two things on my mind,One, learn self defence and two hmm yes get used to be beaten up. First one was tough but okay and second was ridiculous. I have some self respect. My mind again slipped to all the humiliation I faced at the auction house. The frustration was clearly seen on my face. I washed it again but the irritation never left. I wiped my face with the towel and placed out. I sat on the bed idle not having anything to do.

"Getting bored" she quized.

"Offcourse!" I replied.

"How about getting trained with Lucky bro?"she questioned.

My eyes sprung open.

"Oh sorry I shall introduce u" she Continued after a pause "He is Lucifer, my brother hmm. Or better Lucky Bro. She the lady u saw was Alice my mother and " she fell silent.

"Must be ur father r8" I added

And they nodded.

Before conversation could go any further a servant entered with a knock. This time it was a girl she softly spoke-"Master , Amaira is here. "

Lucifer jumped up a smile was spread on his lips and his BLUE eyes... Wait what I noticed it again here everyone had BLUE eyes. I felt like the odd one out. My iris was black unlike them.

"Lucifer" a feminine voice echoed in the room. I could see a super hot blonde hair, a fairy tale girl in her extremely handsome Brother's arms.

"Pls excuse us for sometime" he requested

"Excused" she wincked at him. He left with Aamira. The super hot eye candy was gone. I turned to her , she was engrossed in her I Phone 7+.

"She is his Girlfriend" I asked her.

"Yes, the 14th Girlfriend" she replied casually.

My eyes poped out. 14 girlfriends. 14 GIRLFRIEND , 14... The number swung my head.

"C'mon it's not much " she replied and lifted her gaze to me.

"Yeah, well how many boyfriends u have , 23 " I quized sarcastically

She narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"0" she replied.

"Really" I was surprised

She shurugged her shouldersand said"I love someone"

"Who" I replied uninterested. I think I had high hopes of being with a single girl. Moreover how can I forget that I am her slave she has all rights to rule over me and throw me out.

"Can u stop thinking bullshit" she halted my thought process.

"Should I ?"

"Yes, u get annoying and irritating. "

I pressed my nose-" but what all I am thinking is truth.

Her face fell. I was correct. She was the owner of my body. I saw her eyes water.

"Then who owns ur soul Sanskaar" she quized me.

"Shona, My Swara" I replied.

She seemed upset. I changed the topic.

"Swara I am hungry"

She nodded and held the car keys from the table besides her.

"Let's go." She said

"Where" I quized her

"Will MacD be enough or u want to go to KFC?" She shot me a question in reply

"See I am a Vegetarian." I made a face.

"So, then we should go to KFC for sure. U will be able to try something new. " She insisted

"Are u mad, I ain't hungety then u go and enjoy at KFC. " I pulled the comforter over me. I soon drifted into my deep sleep again. I wonder how.much I am sleeping these days. Perhaps lack to work makes u lazy.

I could feel someone's finger on me. It roamed seducingly over me. My dreams had to halt in b/w as I opned my eyes. I knew it wasn't Swara. I just pulled myself back.

"Oh hello , who r u??" I asked

The lady pulled me close with my collar and sat with her legs crossed over my thighs.

"Don't act innocent. Fir how much will u give me ur blood or atleast spent a night. " She said and traced her finger along my jaw line.

"I.. I am sorry.. " I said all perplexed.

"Ahh.. do what u do with Swara. Give me the pleasure to ride ur body Sanskaar. I promise to give u good money or give me ur blood. In exchange u may take my posion. " She leaned over me more.

I tried pushing her but she was stronger than me. Her blue eyes dripped lust.

"Ma'am I am not what u think of me. I.. "

Before I could complete she captured my lips in her. She was forcefully kissing me. I tried pushing her but in vain. She striped open my shirt and pulled me beneath. I after 2-3 attempts pushed her. I began to run out. She was behind me.

I have to say I committed a mistake. All the servants were behind my back. Till now it was clear I was b/w Vampires. These all are Vampires hungry for my body and blood. I ran for my life. I don't know how will I even survive. Swara, Lucifer, Alice, Amaira,her dad, all these servants they are vampire. I could think about Swara having a crush on me or something. Otherwise what that brutall fight would be about. The only thing is WHY? And who r they? If I could meet her now I would have asked for sure.

TDP Chapter4

I ran and hide behind the vase when of the servants caught my hand. I tried pushing him but he was too strong for me. He tore the skin of my wrist. I winced in pain. The smell of my blood brought all the vampires close. Their blue eyes sparkled like mine were sparkling when I saw fresh food last night. He started sucking my blood. It was weakening me. I was pushing him again and again but it was useless. I streched my hand and held the vase and I threw it on his head. I crawled on the floor like a bloody worm. The girl that had entered my room tore my shirt. She pulled my weak body to the store the few servents around smirked. She pushed me down and climbed to my chest. She pulled my bandages and licked the blood. She scratched my wounds and licked the fresh blood. I was pushing her but my efforts were vain. She removed her dress, her clevages could be clearly seen. I closed my eyes. I didn't want to see her any how. She kissed me forcefully, I somehow pushed her. Her blue eyes started to turn maroon red in rage. She sucked blood from my hand, quite too much. As much that I drained my energy to resist. She kept her neck and clevages on my lips, when I denied touching her she forcefully blushed my lips on her body. A tear rolled Down my eye.

"Swara." I wisphered, almost breaking down.

This vampire opned the button of my jeans. I fell down. My back rested on the chilling floor. I lost all hopes. I was being physically forced. Forced to get intimate with a girl. Trust me it's the worst feeling. I was being used. Did Swara sell me to her ? My mind questioned. Physical abuse is an abuse no matter it's a girl or guy.

The door suddenly swung open. I saw swara she rushed to me. She pulled the vampire lady off me. I was relaxed. She was angry at her, I could read her eyes. She held neck and pressed it. She shouted as Swara pressed her neck. Lucifer and Amaira ran down. They were disshaved as If got suddenly up in b/w of rough love making.

"Swara Don't" Lucifer shouted.

But she wasn't stopping. She almost killed her and chocked her, Lucifer separated Swara from her. She was arrested by the Vampire guards. I was scared. I somehow stood up. Trembling I moved out silently.

Swara ran behind me. I picked up the knife I found in the fruit basket.

"STAY AWAY" I shouted. "U.. U r a VAMPIRE"

"Sanskaar.." she said with moistured eyes. She tried coming close and I kept shifting back till I hit the wall.

"U will kill me later or sooner, let me GO" I shouted at the peak of my voice.

"I won't Sanskaar" she spoke softly

"U Will" I said still scared.

I was about to cut my wrist when she forcefully threw the knife.

"Sanskaar!! " She held my face b/w her fingers. Her body pressed against mine. She restricted any moment I could do. "Sanskaar! Just .. just look at me. Pls "

"Swara I beg u, let me GO, pls I want to live and not die so soon pls" I requested.

She pressed herself more on me. She cupped my face.

"Sanskaar listen, look into my eyes do u think I can kill u" she asked.

I pushed her with some force, rather the remaining energy in me drained as I pushed her. I was about to run when my leg slipped. She was moving close to me again.

"Don't kill me pls" I begged again

She came to me, cupped my face. Closer and closer. She finally spoke on my lips.

I could feel frustration in her touch Alas not in her voice. "Sanskaar!! How can I kill u? Don't u trust ur Shona? Ur Swara?" Can I hurt u Sanskaar??"

I was numb at her statement. My remaining energy was almost drained. I caressed her cheek while half lying on the floor. "Shona!" I whispered. My blood soaked wrist left its trace on her cheek. It turned red and so did my eyes. My Shona but what happened to her?How? I now more fit into the story. I fell down, it was a blackout. I could feel her tight grip on my wrist, she was Patting my cheek. But I fell down finally unconscious.

I opened my eyes. I could see her caressing my hair. I sat on the bed. I was still shirtless, I cared the least I just pulled her into a tight hug. So did she responded. I placed my lips on her pale skin. I pecked her forehead, cheeks, eyes,nose and every corner of her face. I held her face close to mine. I pulled her into a hug. I wanted to feel her. My friend, my almost love, was in my arms. There was actually nothing better than this. We stayed there still. I had 100s of questions in my mind, but for now this was enough soothing. Perhaps at this hour feeling her in my arms was the most important. I just let myself feel her closeness. I pecked her forehead again.

Our lovely moment was distructed with a knock on the door. We parted the hug. Lucifer entered.

He patted my cheek.

"So, how's u?" He quized

"Fine!" I wisphered. My eyes down in shame.

"Don't worry u will overcome the recent incidents soon." He assured.

I nodded. He smiled. Amaira came to me, she sat besides Lucifer.

"Well Sanskaar, u look like a perfect man shirtless with wounds. " She wincked at me. My cheeks flush red. I could hear all three of them laugh.

Shona brought a shirt and helped me wear. My torso was still uncovered as didn't button my shirt.

"Hungry?" She quized me.

"Yes" I replied

"Wait" she replied.

She arrived back with a plate. It was served with a pizza.

"Domino's pizza. " I enquired

"Yes" she replied and forwarded a plate of pasta and choco Lava cake.

"Won't you people eat" I asked.

"We don't eat this. U can enjoy." Lucifer replied.

I know what it meant, I stayed silent.

"Where are ur mom and dad?" I asked Lucifer

"They left for Kolkata." He replied.

"Why? " I asked again.

"U will come to know soon." He patted my Cheek.

He is really good. His touch, his voice all r brotherly.

I concentrated back on the pizza. It was delicious and I was hungry. Perfect combination. I saw Lucifer playing with Amaira's fingers. As I tried to hide my smile, I blushed. My mind wasn't thinking just one event, Lucifer, Amaira, Swara, Alice, Their Dad, That lady, the servants, mom and dad, my job, my kidnap, my physical humiliation.

Lucifer and Amaira left our room at night. I was gazing at Swara and she was gazing the moon. I noticed her having no shadow.

"Yes Sanskaar I don't have any shadow" she replied reading my mind.

"Oh!" I replied. I Lifted my gaze from her and closed my eyes. I felt restless, I was having horrific images, I somewhere shivered as I saw the Vampire lady forcing me. I opened my eyes wide, the darkness was scary and so were my nightmares. I clutched my comforter tight.

"Sanskaar" she wisphered my name and placed my head in her lap.

She slowly patted my hair and forehead. She was soothing my fears.

"Sanskaar! Don't worry, don't think much about it, u will feel better soon. " She said and pecked my forehead she rested her head on mine. I felt her tears on my forehead I sat on the bed and cupped her face. I wiped her tear with my thumb. I did not ask her for what or y was she crying I know there could be ample of reasons. I pecked her forehead and pulled her into a hug. I didn't bother to break it nor did she. The silence b/w us prevailed. I was silent and so was she perhaps things needed time. Our distance couldn't affect our bond. We dossed off in eachother's arms. The feeling was heavenly.
