Power Of Blood: Darkness Never Leaves 19 One Of Ours

"I know it was wrong but I didn't want to scare her. I didn't know what she would say if she found out that I wanted a Blood Bond. If she'd agree or not. So I thought I would tell her after it was done."

"She already trusts us. I know she hasn't agreed to join us like Master wanted but it's just a matter of time. Soon she will officially be one of us."

"She'll join us. Master told me he wanted that and I will do it. But right now I have to keep her safe for that to happen."

"Is that really all you wanted? There was no need for a Blood Bond to do that. She doesn't even know what it was. You better tell me now." warned Shivam. He knew there was more to this matter than Dhira let him know.

"Because she is different." Dhira finally admitted. She had to have a solid proof and that was one of the reasons she did it. "Something about her is not right. If she was with the people who are trying to kill me, she would have died bonding with me. I just wanted to be sure. But I do want to protect her and that is true."

Shivam gaped at her in disbelief. Visha had saved her life and risked hers in the process. And Dhira still needed to be sure? And she wanted to protect her? She almost killed her from that pain. Does Dhira even notice how much of a hypocrite she sounds like.

"Now that you're FINALLY sure, she needs to know the truth." he said sarcastically. Dhira hmphed at him and turned to leave but Shivam stopped her.

"I'm serious, Dhira. She is a good girl. Don't make her lose trust in us."

"I know I can trust her now, but its still better if she doesn't know yet. If this gets out she will be in danger."

"Then it's better that she stays alert."

"No need. I can protect her. She is the younger sister after all." Dhira smiled as she remembered Visha calling her elder sister. The joy it gave her. And from now on, she will be one.

"I know, I know!" yelled Vikram on the phone.

"It's really short notice but I am running out of time. I need this done and I'm paying extra for that. There is no need to be stubborn." he was anxious. His deadline was nearing but there seemed no sign of it happening on its own. He will have to use force.

"Look, I will send you all the details in two days. You just have to get the item and deliver it to the place I told you. Remember to use the back entrance. That's it."

He disconnected the call and dialled another number immediately. His new life was so close now, he could already see it. Arriving in a sports car at the college, spending all nights partying, the best college life ever. The call was picked and he calmed himself, "Your item is almost ready Sir. You can pre-check the quality of the product yourself in two days, Hotel Star, room 1205. It will be delivered right into your hands. Like I have already said, the quality is the best. You will not be disappointed."

Somewhere far away, from the shadows of huge cave, a voice called out. It sounded authoritative and commanding. Soon a figure of a woman walked up to the mouth of the cave to answer it. Her long luscious hair swayed as she walked. Her perfectly proportioned body was enough to drive men crazy. Her eyes fierce and her demeanor was full of power. She flipped her hair to one side as she bowed her head to greet.

"This lowly one, is yours to command." her voice was sensuously seductive.

"One of ours, has shed blood in magic among humans. Find her. Get her back to where she belongs." said the voice from the shadows.

The woman's plump lips curved up in a smile. She hadn't been to the human world in a long time. The thought of humans enticed her.

"It won't be easy to find her though." she complained.

"You aren't running out of time anyway." True. She thought. She has just turned a hundred and twenty four. The woman let out a bewitching laughter. It could be heard all the way inside the caves. It sounded so pleasant like a symphony.

"Well then, there is no hurry at all. Not like she could run from us now that she is within in our grasp already." Her laughter echoed in the caves as she left laughing.
