Power Of Blood: Darkness Never Leaves 27 First Official Task

Visha was in the cafeteria talking to a girl when she saw Vikram enter and couldn't help but run up to him. He looked quite battered up. He saw her heading towards him and felt a rage firing up within. This girl had not only managed to escape, she also killed his five men. He wouldn't have been like this if she hadn't messed up his plan. But now he will have his revenge. Once that man has his claws on her, she will have nowhere to run or hide. Maybe he will be allowed to watch it. Just a little more and he can see this gorgeous b*tch being defiled. His lips curved up in a sinister smile. Just lure her into his trap and then she will be sold off. Then he'll see how she manages to get out from there.

"What happened?" worry was clearly visible on Visha's face.

"I tried to help someone getting mugged. And this is what I got?"

Visha gasped in horror, "When did this happen?"

"The day I asked you for the movie." he acted sheepishly.

"I'm sorry." Visha didn't understand why she felt guilty but she just did. That day she had refused to go with him. Would it have been better of she had agreed? What if she had gotten Vikram involved with her? That would be worse, she didn't want to involve him in that kidnapping.

"How about you compensate me for rejecting me that day?" Vikram wanted this to be done asap. He was growing impatient.

"I'd love to. But right now I'm practicing for the last round. I'm gonna sing. Priya said that I have a great voice." she felt embarra.s.sed praising herself like that. But her mother doesn't like Visha to sing, even though a lot of people had suggested her to pursue it as a career. She was just not fond of Visha being exposed to the outside world like any other overprotective parent.

"I think so too." Vikram agreed. She will sound great while screaming for help. He thought. "Then how about after the next round. It's just a few days away."

"Sure"

Just then her phone buzzed. She looked at it and saw Dhira's text. It said there was some emergency. She had asked her to meet at their usual place.

Vishakha hurried back to Shreya and Aditya as soon as the lecture was over. Pranay had already left her behind. That idotic loner always did that. She hated his guts. Pranay had always been a man of few words but a very high intelligence. That's what first got him a place beside Shreya.

Shreya saw her panting and rolled her eyes. Always late. She thought.

"Does anyone have anything?" she asked. They had to do something quick. It won't take Dhira much time to find out they hired that man. Once she does, she will definitely wreak havoc upon them.

"Visha has some compet.i.tion in a few days. She will be singing." Vishakha said.

"She's not relevant. Even if she is interesting. She is just a newbie." Shreya shot her down. Visha may be intriguing at most but not someone to be wary of. What could a novice witch be worth of?

"s.h.i.+vam and Dhira had followed Visha before." Aditya said.

"Must've been for the same reason. Her resistance to our presence does attract attention at first."

Shreya was disappointed in all of them. None of the things they knew had any use. Pranay was her only hope left now. She looked at him and he nodded,

"Dhira has a soft spot for her. s.h.i.+vam is too experienced, and she is the only weakness we can use against her. I heard Dhira helped her with some slandering incident in college."

"Why would she favor a newbie?" Shreya could not come up with any explanation.

"Did you notice the scars both of them have on their palms? Do you think she is a weakness because of that?" Shreya knew exactly what Pranay was hinting towards. But was it possible? Dhira wasn't stupid enough to form a Blood Bond with someone that inexperienced. This would put her life at risk. But nothing else could explain the closeness she had with Visha.

"Vishakha, get me her blood. We need to test this. If this is true then we have Dhira, in the palm of our hands."

"You should tell her. Are you really waiting for her to get hurt?" s.h.i.+vam was furious at Dhira. Now that the Devdoots are here she should not let Visha fall prey to them. Does she not see that this is not going to protect her. In fact it will put her at risk even more.

"No need. I know what I have to do."

s.h.i.+vam sighed. He is well aware of her stubborn nature. She will do what pleases her, his words don't matter at all. Just then he heard someone running towards them, and turned to see Visha. She runs funny, she looks adorable though. No wonder Dhira named her 'Puppy'. He thought.

She reached near them and stopped to catch her breath. She had ran here all the way from the cafeteria.

"What's the emergency?" she asked as she wiped off the sweat from her forehead.

"What emergency?" s.h.i.+vam asked.

"Dhira texted me that there was an emergency. I thought something happened again."

Both of them looked at Dhira in confusion. Why did she say emergency if there wasn't any?

"I said emergency meeting. Because it was urgent." she explained. Visha's mouth hung open. She made her run at her full speed in front of all those people just for some stupid family meeting. Why was the G.o.ddess so cruel to give her a Big Sis like this?

Before Visha could fire complaints at her Dhira held up her hand and Visha reluctantly fell quiet.

"Visha you will have your first official task as one of my personnel." Dhira declared.
