Chereads / THE FOUR ELEMENTS / Chapter 4 - LOVE OR DEATH

Chapter 4 - LOVE OR DEATH

"You want to go to Bandhabgarh", jaya said with anger to me. I said to her that it is important to go to Bandhabgarh because king shifted to Bandhabgarh after the princesses went missing and only there we could find clue to what happened to the princesses. I was explaining everything to Jaya but then professor said, " you have to accept yourself as the second princess because this is the gate to mystery".

I didn't replied anything because I was still not able to accept whatever happened. But yes it was true I was able to form and control water but I never did it again because I was scared.

None of them was letting me go alone to the Bandhabgarh, so I agreed that all four of us will go to the Bandhabgarh. On this professor said that he had some work which needs to be completed before the last date ends. So he decided not to accompany us . We decided to leave for the city after semester exams ended. Which were beginning within a week.

I took permission from my parents and they happily allowed me as they were unaware of the real reason for my visit . They thought it was just a trip  with my two best friend.

It was a night before, when we were leaving for Bandhabgarh.  I was lost deep in my thoughts and was worrying for my futures when I received a message from Shaurya. It said,

"Hey priya will you come to the park at midnight "

I was suprise by this text of him but I decided to meet him. I went to park at midnight it was cold but yet soothing. I reached at the park but saw no one. I stayed and waited for him but then I saw something sparkling it was like golden dust and they started taking shapes of letter. I was just watching and then i was suprised with what I saw,

" my sweet nerd it had been a long time since I had this feeling for you. I decided today that I would tell you my feelings..... turn back." The dust made these statements. I never knew that even was Shaurya was capable to do magics.

As I turned back I saw Shaurya sitting on his knees . I too sat on my knees and he said,

"I love you by my heart and soul and can't even think of a life without you. Will you promise to be with me?"

I was happy and sad at both times and tears startes rolling down my cheeks. It was like a dream come true but my life was  like a roller coaster those days. I didn't even knew what might happened with me. Shaurya came near me and it seemed like he understood the storm of thoughts which was running inside me.

He said to me that, " don't worry everything will be fine and I will protect you till my breath lasts. You are just not my responsibility  but you are whole life to me."

I said to him that I need everything to get settled down but I don't know what  came to my mind and I said those three magic words to him "I LOVE YOU". It was even true and listening to this he came near to me and hugged me. I felt safe in his arms and put my head on his chest.

I don't know what came to my mind and I closed my eyes sense the moisture in air and waved my hands in shape of a heart. And the very next moment the whole park was surrounded by several drops  floating in the shape of heart. Each of them sparkled due to moonlight and it seemed to be the best moment of my life.

I  spent almost 4 hours with him that night after which we decided to depart. But as I started move back he lifted me up and make round and round and round. It was a fun then I said to him that it was already late we both must go back to our rooms. He agreed and we both parted just for few hours as we have to go Bandhabgarh at 9 am.

I was about to reach the hostel gate when I heard the similar voice and it said " sister protect yourself please,  one more element can not be captured by him..... run or ....". This time voice seemed to be really weak I got scared so started running but someone grabbed my hands and the very next thing I remembered was some  red wicked eyes and I heard a voice commanding me and it seemed like I was obeying those commands and after that everything turned black.

When I woke up I saw myself in a different room which seemed to be like a dungeons and as I tried to move I saw myself locked in a long chain resembles to the chain in my dream. I started panicking when only I saw a girl which was locked in same chain.

I went to her as chain was sufficiently long so that I can reach her. I called her but she didn't responded. Somehow i felt pain and started crying by seeing her in that condition. Then I decided one thing. I used one hand to form a wave of water and used my other hand and opened her mouth. I send that wave of water in her mouth and just with that her whole body glowed.

After few minutes she woke up and as she watched tears started rolling down her cheeks. While sobbing she said, " I am sorry I couldn't warn you much before."

I said to her that I met her first time and how is it possible for her to warn me earlier. I tried to calm her down she was almost four years elder than me than I remembered the photo of royal family and she seemed to be similar to the eldest daughter Swarna.

After sometime she stopped sobbing and then we both heard some footsteps.  As the footsteps were near the room she  got alarmed and than only I saw a face and was shocked to see the man, I screamed " professor!!!".
