No. Daksh doesn't like Pancchi, Ritz. He is focused on his goal totally. Pancchi is physically attracted to him. As she herself admitted, there are no real feelings. Daksh is just a magnetic personality who has caught Pancchi's fancy. There is nothing supenatural about this attraction. Daksh is not a vampire.>>What? Daksh is not a Vampire? Oh. hmmm... Yeah, I think I read somewhere in this post that he is a vampire slayer. So, a vampire slayer can't be vampire. Get it now.And so, he doesn't like Panhci yet but he will start liking her later. But I feel sorry for them.Abhay shouldn't know about the majesty's pursuit of him becasue that is what the majesty wants. He wants Abhay to come hunting for him on his own. 😊>>So, this is the reason that Chandeena didn't share. But why they came then? May be they came because they wanted to check if Abhay was safe or Majesty has contacted him too.
ya bt some little bit fun
however,b'coz i feel so much disappointment
with current track of sam-mish, i mean they r both energetic character and able deal with every condition with little bit fun😃
your updates are really amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keepers' Tower , Middle Earth
Anushka sat quietly in the white chamber , sitting on the marble stool , her hands clasped together and kept on the high table in front of her. Her face looked determined but sad and drained out at the same time. Her eyebrows furrowed and lips pursed together in thoughtfulness. Rarely anyone came to the white chamber , or should we say to the Keepers' Tower. Very few had the guts or rather the insanity to visit this place and stake everything. It was one of the least visited , least talked about layers of the supernatural labyrinth. If anyone , right from Abhay to Sam to the Raichands found out that she was at the Keepers' Tower , they would beat the living daylights out of her. But Anushka knew what she was doing – she always thought far ahead and she wasn't a Sapphire Witch for nothing. The only Sapphire Witch in the world of magic whom everyone either wanted to win or defeat. Anushka looked at the candle lit chamber where she sat – as the flames flickered, she felt as though the gargoyles and the angel murals on the walls were moving and looking at her. As if they were wondering whether Anushka was serious about her decision? Just then, the door of the chamber slowly opened and Anushka got up , bowing her head. In walked, a tall statuesque woman dressed in a flowing white robe – a porcelain pale white face with chiseled features of a Greek Goddess and never ending hair that touched the ground like dancing snakes. Her eyes as green as the forests. She walked towards Anushka and blessed her by putting her slender white hand on her head and kissing her hair. Anushka got up.
Anushka ( taking her hand and kissing it in respect )- Pleasure to see you, Highness.
Highness smiles warmly and ushers her to sit as she takes the high throne on the opposite end.
Highness ( an echoing surreal voice that sounds like the voice of dreams )- A good 100 years , and I see you now, hmmm? Mrignayni?
Ansuhka ( smiles )- I am known as Anushka now, Highness. Our names just keep changing as per the cycles of human time. What to do. Mrignayni was last used by me in 1900.
Highness ( nods )- Eternal life is a package deal, isn't it? …( sits back resting her arms on the lion face arms of the throne )…. I read your aura . I know what has happened . I know what you are here for. But am not sure if you are taking this decision from the head or from your heart. You maybe THE SAPPHIRE but you are still the girl i met in 1501.
Anushka ( firmly )- I just have to do it. I cannot let Maithli and Natasha get away with it.
Highness – Child, you cannot change Abhay and Piya's destiny graph. This has to happen in their life . If you don't do it , it will happen by some other twisted way. It has been written like that.
Anushka – I accept and understand that, Highness. That is why I have resigned to fate and called Abhay to the Bloodstone Dungeon without the knowledge of the sanctum. But I want to rectify what I can. Fine, Abhay forgets Piya , unites with Maithli , treats Piya as Maithli's niece . So far so good for the vamps….( eyes glow like burning coals )…..but not for long. If those vamps had given me some gap , I would have done something but in all impossibility , I can't. I am the shield that protects Piya from the supernatural. If something happens to me, Piya will die immediately and Abhay being connected and in love with her will not survive either.
Highness ( listens and scans Anushka's face )- So, that is why you want a Keeper?
Anushka ( urgently and anxiously )- Yes! I need to end the curse of the mistress of spices, Highness. All these years , I have tried to summon her but being a powerful and defiant spirit ,she has refused to see me. It didn't matter much till now because the curse was a secret that only I knew. But now , too many lives are in danger because of it. It needs to end and for that I will have to go to the underworld to find the mistress of spices in the Soul Pool. But physically , I cannot leave earth and stake Piya to the dark forces. I cannot protect her from the underworld. I will have to leave my body behind, Highness and yes, a Keeper will have to take my place in my body and live as Anushka until I come back.
Highness looked at Anushka's agitated face and understood the urgency of the situation. Anushka was right. The likes of Maithli and Natasha wouldn't just stop at manipulating Abhay's memory and there was no guarantee that they wouldn't just get up and burn Anushka with spices as per their forever developing evil designs. Anushka needed to release herself from the curse at any cost.
Highness ( warningly )- A keeper will take over your body , your existence , your life, Anushka. She will do what you want her to do, do your duties and protect your body against all harm until you return from the underworld. But you do know the most dicey part of this deal. This transmigration of souls can rob you off a lot of powers and give them to the Keeper. Whatever powers are generated from your body will go permanently to the Keeper. Infact, when you return to your body , you may not stay The Sapphire anymore in case the powers go with the Keeper. You understand the history of Keepers, right? They keep your faith and protect your body but when they leave , the entire essence and energy of your body goes with them. ….Keepers are do-gooders who do less good and more damage , Anushka. I can give you a confessor , a seeker , a healer but a KEEPER?
Anushka takes a thoughtful deep breath and nods.
Anushka – I know. I know that I run the risk of turning into a powerless normal human being upon my return but… (smiles with a twinkle in her eye)…. I have a back up plan.
Highness ( sighs and shakes her head )-You are not going to listen, are you? Which Keeper do you want?
Anushka ( hesitates for a second and then looks at Highness )- Zeenia.
Highness ( taken aback and raises her eyebrows at her )- Zeenia? You want Zeenia to live in your body while you are hunting for that mistress of spices in the underworld? Are you sure? The whole world might want to kill you when you come back to your body and your life maybe totally topsy turvy by the time you are back. Zeenia is a whole kindergarten school rolled into one. You know how childish and naughty she is?
Anushka ( forced to smile )- But she is the only one whom I can trust to maneuver powers of my body and my mind right. Piya will be safe in her hands but I just hope Zeenia doesn't make fun of her heartbreak while I am gone. It is going to be a tough period for Piya. Very tough.
Highness – Well, we just follow God's plan , what else. It may work in your brother's and his beloved's favour…( pauses ) When do you want the transmigration with the Keeper to happen?
Anushka ( flatly )- I manipulate Abhay's memory tomorrow evening. I want the Keeper to take over day after. But nobody comes to know of it until I have left my body and gone to the underworld.
Highness – I see. Fine. We will do it day after tomorrow… ( thinks)… what will you do if the mistress doesn't undo the curse, Anushka?
Anushka( thinking )- She will. I have it mapped out in my head. Everything. And that includes a luxury trip to hell for Anushka and Natasha … ( grits her teeth and her beauty becomes dark)… they are going to be so sorry for all the trouble they are putting me and Abhay-Piya through. SO SORRY…..
With this she fingers the black gold rose vial hanging in her neck.
Guesthouse, Irugarh
She heard his footsteps come down the five stone steps of the guesthouse. She stopped baking the baby potatoes that she was roasting in the burning wooden logs of the huge bonfire that Sambhav had so skillfully set up. Her big brown eyes turned a hazel with the glow of fire and happiness reflecting in her eyes , an expectant smile spread across her face. Had he kept the promise? Her curly black tendrils kissing her cheeks softly and the black dress setting off her peaches 'n' milk complexion perfectly, she slowly turned around to see the man whom she lived for and could die for even if he just raised a finger for her to do so. As soon as she set her eyes on him, her face froze and her indrawn breath refused to release itself.
The brilliant mauve fabric seemed to love his lean-muscled toned torso – fitting perfectly on his arms' muscles, veiling his sculpted chest and sitting proudly on his masculine shoulders – a teasing cover to the vital sexuality that the fabric hid. Unbuttoned to a little above his rib cage , sleeves neatly rolled upto his elbows and the colour setting off his kingly features like the sun sets off the ocean, he looked straight out of a chick flick – the devastatingly handsome hero with a grin on his jaw and a playful twinkle in his ice blue eyes. Yes, for once , Abhay looked like one of them. A change of colour and clothing had lent such normalcy to him . And it was not just Piya who had apparently lost her breath and her senses. Sambhav, who had been barbecuing snacks sticks had turned into a statue and almost burnt Tracker's spiced mushrooms. Tracker had stopped gossiping with Angad on the phone and was gaping at Abhay with her jaw hanging to the floor . Misha who was helping the guesthouse caretaker in setting up the food table dropped a bowl of salad in shock.
Abhay was wearing a COLOURED shirt and denims? He was wearing a bright mauve shade and smiling ? Hold the sky if it too falls in shock. The man seemed to have walked out of the shadows straight into sunlight! While everyone was gaping at Abhay as though he was the next edition of " Believe it or not" , it was just Piya who was smiling divinely at this sight of Abhay and one could confuse the shine in her eyes with tears or were they tears, really? This was her Abhay . Happy , living in the sun with her and looking at all the colours of life. She didn't say anything – just kept looking at him as though he was a dream and she was scared to blink her eyes lest he disappears. Abhay raised an eyebrow at her in his signature style and she just smiled and shook her head.
Sambhav finally dropped Tracker's mushrooms in the fire and blinked his eyes at his frenemy .
Sambhav ( shocked and amused at the same time )- Abhay , doctors have said my heart is delicate and I need to stay away from shocks. WHAT IS THIS! Why the hell are you suddenly looking so good!
Misha ( comes to Abhay and actually touches his shirt to believe her eyes )- Aren't you supposed to be colour blind? I didn't think you could see any other colour than black!
Tracker( finally shutting her mouth )- You are gorgeous! What happened to you, Abhay?
Abhay gives all of them a boyish playful look and walks to a besotted and love-eyed Piya. He slides his arm around her waist and looking into her eyes says with a soft smile.
Abhay ( touching her head with his )- Piya. Piya happened to me. …. (mischievously )… see? I wore it and paid the price of burning the green one. Happy?
Piya ( smoothening Abhay's collar and softly holding his face )- Very.
Misha ( notices Piya's sexy Chanel cut little black dress )- Wait a sec! Are you guys , like, on some stupid couple cuteness game, eh? Abhay is in mauve and you are in black? ….Tracker , I need to get in Ostrich feathers now and you into silk bedsheets.
Abhay just rolls his eyes and Piya bursts out laughing. Sambhav hides a smile and turns to cut vegetables with fine hand movements , shaking his head.
Abhay ( taps the back of Misha's head playfully )- Misha , your sexual orientations have changed or what? You and Tracker are not a couple!
Misha ( scandalized )- Abhay! Sheesh! Is this what Piya has been teaching you?
Piya ( laughs )- Mish, you seriously believe that anyone can teach anything to Abhay?... ( takes a good look at him and rests her head on his chest)… my Abhay is just perfect.
Misha ( dramatically )- Then, frame him and hang him on a wall!
Abhay laughs and Piya is just happy looking at him. Somehow and for some reason, she just wanted to keep looking at him. But , uh, oh, Ruhi was certainly very upset.
Tracker ( clutching her cellphone tightly to her chest )- I am Angad's! If I have to dress in silk bed sheets , I will dress for by jiggly wiggly poo! You … you… ( looks around and points to Sambhav)… you can dance in ostrich feathers for Sambhav. Pair yourself with a guy!
Misha and Sambhav looked at each-other. Sambhav , with a dark grin on his face shrugged his shoulders carelessly while Misha somehow only imagined T with him. She still had that compromising sight of the two of them in her head and it still made her nerves throb.
Sambhav ( ridicule in his grey eyes )- Of course she can pair up with you, Tracker. Misha is almost a guy, anyway. Where's the feminity …. ( and humanity , he wanted to say) …
Abhay glared at Sambhav in a friendly chiding way while Piya just covered her eyes waiting for another fight to ensue. Misha was furious but she didn't have it in her to go and grab his neck and punch his two teeth in the front. She was talking to a WEREWOLF and even though she was almost over that horror night , thanks to Abhay , she couldn't risk anything with Sambhav. But HUMPH! Why did he get under her skin all the time.
Misha ( putting her hands on her hips )- Excuse me? What do you mean I am almost a guy and where is my gender certificate? ….( purposely )… at least I am normal! And I don't look like a vanity case up for sale like… like… that vam… ( Abhay clutches her arm and realizing the caretaker is around she bites her tongue ) …. That Tanushree Ambolkar of yours!
Sambhav's jaw tightens , his grey eyes narrow and he thrusts the barbecue sticks in Tracker's hands. Misha, instinctively holds Abhay's arm and Piya shakes her head at an approaching Sam.
Piya ( stopping Sam at a distance )- Sam, DON'T!
Abhay ( scolds Misha )- Misha! What is the need to drag T into every conversation … sorry… that is a word for the civilized … into every fight that you have with Sambhav? She is not even here !
Piya ( strongly to Sambhav )- And what is up with you, Sam? Everytime T's name crops up , you totally lose control over your senses and come charging towards Misha! I mean… ( looks at both of them and throws up her hands in defeat )… just grow up, the two of you.
Sambhav ( dismissively )- Don't give me those sermons , Piya. Tell that to Misha! If she stops obsessing over T and my business with her , I won't come charging at her.
Misha ( aggressively )- Its not me, its you who is obsessing over her. Why don't you just admit it , Sam? I am not making stories out of nothing!
Tracker( shocked )- Sam! You are seeing T? The college queen? ….WOWIEEEEE! I will just put that on Twitter and Facebook.
Sambhav ( snatching away her phone )- I WILL SLICE YOUR ARMS if you do any of that bullcrap!
Tracker gets scared by that look of warning in Sam's eyes and nods her head like a cow. Abhay comes and stands between Sambhav and Misha.
Abhay (authoritatively )- ENOUGH. Enough is enough, the two of you. Either you both totally hate each-other or you two are just fatally attracted to each-other ( they both jump to protest but Abhay shuts them up with one predator look )….and I couldn't care less what it is. People running in circles about their thoughts and feelings just make me delirious.
Piya ( almost gawks at him and thinks to herself )- Hello! Abhay , what were you doing for so long , driving me mad in circles like a … like a….
Abhay ( reading her mind and glaring at her )- A French Poodle. Now, can I please talk to these two wild boars on the loose without you disturbing my thoughts? …. ( the caretaker look totally confused at what Piya said when she didn't even open her mouth at all )…. The two of you decide right away what your future equation is going to be. Either call it a truce or else call it quits as acquaintances as well! The least you both can do for each-other and everyone's sanity is treat each-other … ( looking specifically at Misha) like HUMAN BEINGS and… ( looks meaningfully at Sambhav )….with controlled sensitivity and respect.
Abhay moved away from between them and scrutinizes them with his arms crossed against his chest . Piya and Tracker watch the two adversaries with bated breath.
Sambhav and Misha look at each-other with a disguised emotion in their eyes and a deep thoughtful look on their faces. They both knew nothing at this moment except that they didn't want to turn and walk away from each-other in opposite directions. Yes, Misha hated Sambhav and Sambhav hated Misha because she hated him. But even in this battle of prejudiced thoughts and rejected feelings and existence , they somehow wanted to stay connected. Sam and Misha looked at Abhay who was sternly glaring at them and again at each-other.
Sambhav , deciding something internally, looks at Misha with a detached but fingers-crossed expression. Then , he slowly raises his hand in her direction.
Sambhav ( strongly and searching her face )- TRUCE.
TO BE CONTINUED……………..
