Arundhati roamed around Mimi's storeroom or the room which Mimi calls her fairy room. This is the place for her special preys whom she killed once. She had stored their bodies with quiet passion.
"So, who is she? Arundhati pointed towards a beautiful dead girl. Even though she is dead, her skin looked flawless.
"She used to be my Snow White! said Mimi while caressing the dead girl's cheek.
"and who would be I after you kill me!
"Oh, I am not killing you so easily! I have never found a woman like you before! she came nearer to press her kiss.
"But you will kill me at a point of time right!
"Oh love, if you go on amusing me in this way I might never feel the urge to kill you!
"Wow urge! I thought you bear some passion with the word kill' and that's why I fell for you Mimi! said Arundhati who was looking gorgeous in her black trousers and black jacket.
"My love now you are annoying me!
"Oh, I am so sorry Mimi. I have never wanted to hurt you. I just want my old Mimi back! You were such a thrill once!
"Why am I not so thrill now?
"Coz you don't fight with me like those classes anymore! I miss your training session! Arundhati made a face and she kissed Mimi's hands, "Please don't be annoyed with me, Love but before dying in your beautiful hands I would love to see the girl I fell for.
"I am sorry Arundhati! You can never annoy me!
"But before that, I would love to hear your story with this Snow White!
"You are stubborn my Sleeping Beauty!
"So I am going to be your sleeping Beauty after you kill me!
"Of course! Coz I am never going to kill you Arundhati! You are not like any of these Princesses in my Fairy room. Though they have amused me a lot, they all were plain Damsel in Distress, unable to find a happy ending, but you my love will have a happy ending with me!
"Together we will be killers of this era. No one in this world can beat us. With my magic and your genius mind, we will be unbeatable!
"So, you love me for being the unbeatable killer. I thought you love me for me!
"Oh don't be such crybaby, My Love Mimi caressed her cheeks, "Of course I love you for you! she kissed her lips.
...
"I need to sacrifice five Aishani tribe Sorceresses to start the spell. Their blood will give me strength and then no one would need to worry about those powerful Matrikas. Princess Mohini said.
A soldier rushed towards the prison but he returned back with a fallen face, "The Aishani sorceresses self-sacrificed themselves to free the dark Sorceress Hemakshi.
"What! Princess Mohini was angry.
"Princess don't feel so helpless. We soldiers still can beat those Matrikas. Said one.
"Haven't you heard your Prince! He wants me to use my power and fight along with you all!
"So the Aishanis helped Hemakshi! I wish I could kill them myself! Princess Mohini thought, "How could King Vijayadeva never mentioned that! Oh yes, he was depressed that his beloved Hemakshi left him! Such a foolish man deserved to die.
"Dear Knights! Mohini managed to be as calm as possible, "I have no doubt about your gallantry and have complete faith in my power. Together we can beat those Matrikas.
"Yes, we will, Princess! They cheered.
"As you enter the battleground, you will hear nothing except my voice. Follow my instruction and it will lead you towards victory!
...
Bhirava came out of his hut wearing his battle armor and he found a very lost Prince Vikramaditya. He put his palm on his shoulder.
"Oh, I am ready Chief! Let's march towards the battleground.
"My friend, I think you should journey towards her world now. She is in danger, she needs you!
"You need me too
"No, I don't! We Matrika can win this war. I have a feeling that Mother Goddess is already with us!
"I thought I have forsaken everything to fight with you but I was wrong. Yes, I can't forget her. She came into my dreams last night.
"Then go to her now!
"No my friend, I can't. I can't leave your side.
"If anything happens to her, I could never forgive myself!
"Pray, my friend, just pray for her. I could do nothing except praying.
The Chief hugged the Prince, "Don't worry my friend; the great Mother never forsakes Her children!
Together they marched towards the battlefield.
That day in Aarunya was significant. The battle was so fierce that sun looked covered in blood and dust. When the Matrikas thought that, they have perished their enemies more men came to attack. They are the tribe who once fought along with the Mother Goddess, they have never learned to lose a battle but they too have a human body and those felt exhausted. Even Prince Vikramaditya too felt the same.
"Dear Chief, don't you feel there's something wrong.
"Oh Prince, Ojaswinagar is a rich country and they have many soldiers!
"And I know how many men they have. The way we were fighting, they would have been half in number by now but I see the same men again and again even after they are dead! What is it, Bhairava?
"Sorcery! They heard Varahi, "They are using magic in this war. It's illegal. Let me answer them, Bhairava!
...
"Mimi, do you want to hide me from someone? I am a killer I don't need your protection. Arundhati said while sitting on Mimi's lap. They were still in Mimi's fairy room.
"My love, what are you saying?
"Then why Sleeping Beauty? I don't want to sleep for ages! Death would be better than that.
"Arundhati! Mimi cupped her face, "You will not utter a single word about your death again! I am not killing you!
"And you don't want someone to know that truth, right! I just knew it, Mimi! You have someone else in your life! Arundhati is on the verge of crying.
"My dear! Don't act like a silly girl in love!
"You are my true love and for that, I have to face a great danger!
"What sort of danger, Mimi! Coz I thought you are the unbeatable Ripper!
"My world is not so simple like this one and I have come to this world for some reason!
Arundhati left her lap and stood up, "Wait a minute! Is the reason to kill me!
She found Mimi crying.
"Who sent you here?
"I can't utter a single word about her!
"Oh yes! Coz you are just a hired assassin! Arundhati looked angry.
"A hired witch and I can't utter her name because she bound me with a spell even in my deathbed also I can't give you a hint about her!
"Her! Arundhati rolled her eyes, "Tell me with how many women you have slept, Mimi?
"It's not the time to be jealous Arundhati! Our time together is limited let us enjoy the best!
"And then what?
"I will bind you with a spell, your heartbeat will stop. I will keep you safe in this fairy room and go back to my world and confirm the Sorceress about your death and then come back here again and awake you with a true love's kiss. Then we will be together forever!
"Forever means!
"Well Arundhati, though you don't have magic, you are stronger than any common human. I can fill you with magic power and then we can live a happy long life together.
"Okay I get it but what's the guarantee that your Sorceress boss won't find out the truth.
"She won't coz I have made this room with a special design. No magic trick works here. Also, I have hidden it from the world with a flawless cloaking spell. You will be safe here Arundhati.
"Okay! I get it.
"So let's play our fighting game. I love games without magic!
"I just love your spirit! Mimi chuckled.
...
"No Varahi, we will fight by fair means! said the Matrika chief.
"What are you saying Bhairava! We all will die. They are planning to kill women and children too! Don't you understand!
The Chief noticed the fallen men are again coming back to life just like the Rakhtabija in the myth.
"Varahi, once our ancestors have perished the Rakhtabija along with the great Mother. If I fall back it'll be an injustice to their pride.
"You can fight if you let me use magic! If they are using magic, so can we. It won't be unfair but a fair fight.
"But Varahi, said the Chief, "If we use magic now then they will think that we were using from the beginning and their suspicions about us will be proven a truth. In addition, they will never believe that we haven't killed their King!
"I don't care what those rich vile men think. I am the Tribe's Mother now. I worry about my children and my husband! she looked at Bhairava with concern and tears in her eyes.
"Then I can't stop a mother! said Bhairava.
...
"Wow! Arundhati! You are hitting me hard! Do you want to ruin my face? Mimi chuckled.
"We are fighting right trainer! Not romancing!
"Yes I get it, but you are quite serious!
"You taught me once, to take every session seriously!
"Looks like I have taught you well! said Mimi while delivering a punch but Arundhati ducked in the right moment and she smiled, "Yes, Mimi quite well!
So, the fight went on. Sometimes Arundhati won and sometimes Mimi but after a point of time Arundhati looked exhausted and Mimi came towards her with a concern in her eyes.
"Let's stop for the day. Let us go upstairs and have dinner.
Arundhati was waiting for the moment. She yawned and said, "Yes you are right Mimi!But right before stepping her foot on the staircase she looked back and stabbed Mimi.
It was so sudden that Mimi looked horrified.
"How can you have the knife! I took all the weapons from you!
"I took it back during our fight, it was just moments ago. How could you forget that!
"So you will kill me!
"Oh yes, Mimi!
"Those who betray me deserve nothing but death!
"But I love you!
"You molested me, kidnapped me and then tortured me to forget my one true love! No, Mimi, you have never loved me! saying she stabbed her harder.
"But thanks to you because while you were playing with my memory with you magic tricks I found out how much I love him!
"So you were playing with me Arundhati!
"Oh yes, you deserve that only trickster! As she curved the knife in Mimi's stomach blood spilled out from her face.
"If I am the trickster then what are you?
"As you say, Mimi, I am the Damsel in Distress, so it will be my happy ending!
"But I am not your real enemy dear Damsel in Distress! She is out there and a thousand times stronger than me!
"I don't care, I will find my love!
"Then again you will forget him! Mimi laughed at her deathbed.
"You don't know your enemy but she knows you; she knows your every movement.
"Tell me who is she!
"I can't you know that and even if I could I would have never said. Goodbye Damsel in Distress! Please burn my body so that I can unite with my ancestors.
As life left her body, Mimi looked free and relieved. Arundhati closed Mimi's eyelids.
"Don't worry Mimi, will free you, you will meet with your ancestors.
While burning her body Arundhati said under gritted teeth, "I wish the real culprit to burn Mimi! She must burn like hell!
Far away, in Aarunya fire captured Princess Mohini and she failed to stop it. Even her most powerful spell didn't work. As the fire started to consume her she screamed, "HELP! PLEASE, SOMEONE, HELP ME!
