Power Of Blood: Darkness Never Leaves 18 Blood Bond

"Thank you Dhira. This means a lot. You're always there when I need help. You're like an elder sister I never had."

Dhira was taken aback by those words. She was an orphan with no family. No one has ever thought of her as family. An unfamiliar bubble of joy popped in her heart while Visha continued.

"You protect me, help me, even scold me when I'm wrong and give me life advice."

"And you're like the annoying little sister I never wanted." complained Dhira. But Visha was already used to her low EQ and the inability to express herself. She smiled at Dhira like a little puppy wagging its tail. Dhira disliked overly cheerful people, but she was getting used to Visha as well.

"I called you out for a very important matter." Dhira began Visha was not aloof anymore. She paid full attention to her.

"We have to do an initiation ceremony. You will officially be a witch after this." Visha's eyes twinkled with these words. She was officially going to be a witch now. Dhira saw her expression and felt guilty, she knew she was lying to someone who trusted her. But she didn't want to scare her by telling her the truth.

"So what do we have to do?" Visha couldn't contain her excitement. And Dhira's guilt increased many folds at her innocence. But this was for her own good. She took out her dagger from her thigh scabbard inside her dress and made a deep cut on her palm. She then gestured Visha to hold out her hand. Visha was a little afraid at first but she trusted Dhira so she held out her hand. Dhira made a cut on her palm as well. It made her wince in pain. Dhira was already used to it but Visha was new. Visha and Dhira held their bloodied hands together and Dhira started chanting. Visha felt as if something was being sucked out of her hand. And something was rushing in tearing her veins apart. She grimaced trying to bear the pain but she couldn't and fell down. Apparently, Dhira had no intentions to let her go. She held Visha's hand firmly and continued to chant. Visha was unable to bear it anymore and screamed in pain. But Dhira ignored it. She was almost done. Just a few more seconds and Visha will be bound by blood to her. Visha continued to wince in pain. After a while her pain began to subside and she started to lose consciousness. She tried to snap out of it as Dhira shook her vigorously to keep her awake, but all in vain. Visha fainted as Dhira held her head from hitting the ground. But Dhira was at least a.s.sured about her safety now that they were bound by Blood.

Shivam entered to witness this scene right away. His eyes widened in shock. Even though he knew Dhira intended to form a Blood Bond, he never would've guessed so soon. He rushed to a.s.sist them. Visha looked weak and in pain. He felt bad for her. Poor child had to go through this. Dhira didn't look the best either.

"I didn't know Witch Initiation can be this tiring." Visha mumbled subconsciously.Shivam turned to Dhira and she guiltily looked away. She made a Blood Bond with Visha without telling her. Shivam picked up Visha and brought her to their car. Dhira followed him staggering on the way. Dhira opened the door and Shivam placed her on the backseat carefully. Dhira rushed to the drivers side when Shivam pulled her back. He looked furious.

"I know. But this is not the time. Please, Shivam." Dhira pleaded. Visha was unconscious. She knew she owed him an explanation but right now all she wanted was to have Visha regain consciousness.

Shivam turned away without a word and sat on the pa.s.senger seat. Dhira quickly got in and sped off to the mansion.

But she was unaware of the series of events that were set in motion because of this Blood Bond.

Yash stormed out of his room anxiously searching for something. Vir was startled by him and immediately stood up from the couch he was resting on. He rushed to a.s.sist his master.

"Let me, Master. What is it?"

"Car keys" Yash said as he turned to search in the other cabinet while Vir ran off to get the keys. He came back in just a few moments with the keys. Yash turned as son as he heard the keys jingling.

"I'll take you." Vir offered. He was here to serve his Master in every possible way. But he couldn't understand why Yash was suddenly so anxious. Did something happen to the girl Master likes? No one else was capable of making him anxious like this. But he still restrained himself from saying anything. Yash was in a very bad mood and he didn't want to be a punching bag for him. He silently drove to the building, they went in last time. Yash quickly got out and rushed inside. Vir followed him. Yash followed the scent to the back of another building. There were drops of her blood on the ground. But something was different about it.

"Is this that human girl's blood?" Vir asked.

Yash shot him a fiery glance and made him shudder. That human Girl! How dare he address her like that?

"Lady!" he corrected. Vir understood that he was mad about the way addressed her and bowed apologetically.

"I meant, this doesn't seem the same as before." Vir didn't feel any suffocation like last time, or a suppressing weight upon him.

"Because her blood has been bound."

Yash turned to face Vir, "Two days. If I'm not here with her, then you won't be found anywhere."
