Chereads / Lotus in the Blood / Chapter 8 - Kichkandi tastes the blood of men

Chapter 8 - Kichkandi tastes the blood of men

I still couldn't get that mysterious girl out of my mind. All the way I was thinking about her. He asked me, "What are you thinking? Are you thinking about that girl?" I was surprised. "How did you know?"

"I know, I just know it. This is the first time that you have dreamt of any girl and I can read your face, haha. You are running after a wind which is difficult to catch" That picture continuously came in front of me and I had an amazing feeling thinking about her. Who is she? Why did I see her? There were plenty of questions inside me that remained unanswered. What kind of mirage is this? Is there another end or is this the end?

We were returning and he was in front of me. We kept on walking but I was senseless. All-time I was captivated by her thoughts. It was almost dusk and since we were in the woods, it was quite dark. We started to move quickly. After walking for some distance, I heard a big appealing sound calling me, "Bhairav". That sound was so loud to me and I felt like someone woke me up. I instantly replied, "What" and turned back. It was a thunderous sound that was just behind me and calling me as if she wanted me. To my astonishment, I couldn't see anyone.

"Did you hear that voice?"

He grabbed my hands and said to move quickly without turning back. We walked so fast that our hearts were just about to burst. I felt like someone was following us and I could hear the footsteps marching towards us. We were speeding up without uttering any sound. We crossed the river and reached the small temple of Shiva.

When we reached the premises of the temple, we were so exhausted. I couldn't believe what I have just experienced. I asked him, "What was that sound? Someone was calling me. Didn't you hear it?"

"No, I didn't hear anything. But when you yelled "what" and turned back I knew about that sound. Today I simply saved your life."

I couldn't understand this. "What? How did you save my life? I just responded to the voice that was calling me."

"Exactly, if you had turned back for some more time you would have been a dead man till now."

"What does that mean? How is it possible?"

Of course, he was a Brahmin and I had to believe him. But, this time I couldn't understand what he was trying to say to me. Just by turning back and responding to the voice that called me, how can I die? I asked him to explain because I couldn't understand anything. That voice was so loud. I thought someone was just behind me but when I looked back there was no one. How can this happen? These are all out of my head.

Looking at my impatient condition, he said, "I will try to explain it to you."

I didn't hear any voice calling you but you heard it. You were the one thinking about that girl all the time. This might have some connection but to get the exact answer, you'll have to wait for the future.

"Do you believe in spirits or ghosts?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure. But I've heard some stories from my grandmother"

"Well! then, you just got haunted."

"What? You are trying to say that the voice I heard was not real. It was a ghost."

"It's not a ghost. It was Kichkandi. If the voice was loud and real then why didn't I hear it? You were the only one who heard it."

"Kichkandi!!! What is this?"

My grandmother used to tell me about her just to scare me so that I would not go out of home at night. I didn't know this could be real also.

"I have heard many stories. My mother used to tell stories about this and she always warned me to be aware of certain situations. She told me never to reply at once to an unknown voice, especially during the dark time. We should wait three times to confirm if that voice is really calling you or not. Since you replied instantly, I knew something was wrong. So, I grabbed you and asked you to walk quickly. If you had remained there for some time turning back, she would have come for you and you would not be in this world. They have their own territory and we were in her territory. That's why we need to cross the river as fast as we can. She won't be able to touch us in God's premises and if we crossed the river, her power will not be effective."

I have never heard such stories and it completely shook me off. Did I just have a narrow escape? Well, the Brahmin boy has just saved my life. He has the information about this whole world and he knows everything. We were in the temple. I was baffled and my body had gone numb. All the scary stories that I had heard from my grandma were revolving around me.

He told me, "It's hard to believe but we can't ignore these things. Well! I'll tell you a real incident that happened some time ago in my village."

In my village, once this incident had happened when most of the men had mysterious deaths and my mother used to warn me to go out and be aware all the time. This started with a love story between a high caste boy Premnath and a low caste girl Mohini. It was said that she was the prettiest girl in the entire nation. To become beautiful and to be born into a poor family also sometimes becomes a curse. Like in your village, there is big discrimination among people and a strict hierarchy of caste system in my village too. Sometimes, I wonder just because we know all the religious hymns and we are the priest of the temple, does it make us superior to other people? What extra have we done for society? But we consider ourselves as superior human beings and treat others like insects.

Even all high caste boys liked her but they didn't have the courage to love her. They all would want her to be their queen only in the darkness and in their fantasy. They would just dream about her and enjoy their private romance.

She was in her late teens and was a perfect embodiment of heaven's fairies. Even fairies would envy her body. Every young, adult would dream about her. She used to go to the river to collect water in her mud pot. The boys knew that she would come every day, so they would hide behind the rock to peek at her. They were scared to go near her and talk because they were of high caste and if anyone would see them talking and report it to their parents, then their parents would punish them. It was their routine to come near the river.

One of the boys said, "It's becoming very difficult for me. Whenever I see her, it becomes unbearable to control myself."

The other added, "Oh! boys, how long do I have to use my hands to satisfy myself? There should be some way out to get her body. Let's think of something so that we all can enjoy it."

They madly wanted to get her body. Five of them started to plan to trick her. One of them was the most good looking among them.

He said, "I have a plan but remember our parents should not know about this. I will be the first one and you all can enjoy after me." They all agreed to him and decided to support him. Their only fear was their parents but in front of their lusty desire, they were ready to take this risk.

The next afternoon, they were waiting for her. As usual, she came to the river. They all were hiding behind the rock. When she was returning, the good looking boy, Premnath pretended as if he was accidentally coming from the opposite direction. When he came near to her, he said, "Hey! beautiful lady, I have been walking for a long time and I am very thirsty. Could you help me satisfy my thirst?" He was wearing a dhoti. He looked charming and had a long ponytail. His eyes were bright and on his forehead was a big lined tika of sandalwood. From his appearance, he looked like a real Brahmin.

The girl looked scared and said, "You are a Brahmin and you should not drink water from me. The river is nearby. You should go there and quench your thirst."

Premnath lied on the ground and pretended he was losing his consciousness. He said, "I can't move till there. I'm losing my sense. If you don't give me water now, I might die."

The girl was in a dilemma. She again said, "I belong to a low caste and it would be a sin if you drink water from my hand."

"The most auspicious thing in the world is to give water to a thirsty person. And, by helping a Brahmin you will directly receive salvation and go to heaven when you die. Now, give me water else it'll be a sin not giving water to a Brahmin"

The girl was convinced with the words of the Brahmin. He put his hands close to his mouth and the girl slowly poured water from her pot. They both deeply looked into each other's eyes and the water kept on spilling on the ground. It looked like he was thirsty for several years. Soon, the girl gained consciousness and realized that her pot was empty. She blushed and quickly started to move towards her home. He gave her a voice, "Hey Sundari, at least tell me your name."

"Mohini" She answered and ran away. Indeed she was as beautiful as her name like a fairy from heaven. "I am Premnath." She shouted back.

The other boys who were hiding quickly approached him. One of them said, "You spent a long time with her drinking water. What did you say? What did she say?" They all were very excited and jealous.

He said, "Don't worry guys. She will be in my trap soon and we all can fulfil our desire. For your information, she is Mohini and like her name, she can even bring God to his knees. What a beauty!"

All began to enjoy their fantasy with her name. It was their youth that they couldn't bear and resist their body's desire. One of them said, "If I was not Brahmin I would have married her and enjoyed every single day and night with her body. Ahh, I have never seen any girl like her. She can destroy anyone's meditation"

"How are you going to trap her?"

"Just wait, and watch." They returned talking about their fantasies.

Tomorrow also, at the same time they were waiting for her. When she returned from the river, Premnath stood on her way. They both looked at each other.

He said, "Won't you give me water today?"

Mohini quietly gave water from her pot. She said, "It's strange that we met again. What brings you here?"

"These days, every step I take propels me to reach this place. I feel like I have been thirsty for ages and after drinking water from you, I feel content now."

"But, you are a high caste Brahmin. You shouldn't be here anymore. If someone sees us, I will be in trouble."

"What are you scared of? So what, I am a Brahmin. Don't you think we met for a reason? I think we are that two souls who departed in our past lives and we have a chance to unite again. This universe wants us to get united. Close your eyes and listen to that voice"

"I'm not sure. I need to go now."

"Before leaving, just tell me one thing. Didn't you feel anything?"

The girl was about to leave. He caught her wrist. This touch of his erupted several volcanoes in her heart with numerous vibrations. Her pot fell on the ground and broke into pieces. She tried to free herself but the grip was firm. She struggled to free herself and when he released her, she turned back, watched his smiling face, smiled back and ran towards her home. The naive girl now has fallen into the trap of the wolf. Premnath was so proud of what he was about to accomplish. The other boys who were watching the whole act were so jealous and happy at the same time thinking about the good times that will come soon.

Every day they would go to the same place to see her glimpse. Slowly Premnath and the girl started to come closer. They would spend time talking about different things on the riverbank. Slowly the seed of love that he was trying to plant was growing inside her heart. On the other hand, even the cruel intentions of Premnath was slowly changing and his heart started to meltdown. The other boys were impatient and told him to act as quickly as he can and they threatened him that they will not tolerate the loneliness between them. He asked his friends to wait for some more time and mentioned that she is not fully convinced. He added that it will take one more month to win her fully. The other boys protested and gave him the time of one week and warned that they will do anything now. Premnath was in a dilemma now. He had a soft corner in his heart for the girl and at the same time, he wanted to satisfy his lust. He could not figure out whether to fulfil his lusty desire or to listen to his heart. Listening to his heart would be the most outrageous thing for him as he will have to rebel against his family and society. An illicit affair between a high caste and a low caste would be the most disgraceful and shameful act which would not be accepted by anyone. He also didn't want to bring shame to his family. That night, he couldn't properly sleep thinking of these things.

The next day again, the boys were out in a hunt for their common prey. As usual, they were on the riverbank and others watching their activity from a hidden place. Premnath had to act quickly and after talking for some time he said, "Mohini, we are made for each other. I have realized that and now I want to take a big step. I don't know what's happening to me. Everywhere I see you. If I don't see you for a single day, I go insane. My eyes are always searching for you and my heart only beats for you"

Mohini kept on listening in a pleasant mood. She adds, "This is like a dream to me and I am with the prince of my dream."

"Oh! dear Mohini, you are the only one who can quench my thirst. I am thirsty from my past life. You are the purpose and the meaning of my life."

They both were slowly falling in for each other. "But, I am a low caste girl. Noone will accept our relationship. I am scared. We should leave now."

Mohini tries to get up. He caught her hand, "Dear Mohini, don't leave me in the middle of this desert. I won't survive. I can't live without you anymore. I don't care about the caste system. We have the same blood. Your blood is not different from mine. This disgusting system, high caste, low caste is established by some of the hypocritical members of the society. We don't have to follow that. We will make our own world."

She was surprised and pleased to hear all this. But still, she was scared to take the next step.

"Will you be able to live without me? Ask your inner soul. We are made for each other and no one can separate us." He was in an attacking position and he knew that the time had come and he had to get her. The girl neither wanted to stay nor wanted to go away. She didn't know what to do. In one way, she wanted to stay with him and in another, she was also scared of her family and society. Looking at her in this condition Premnath said something with some drops of tears.

I thought I was strong

To my dismay, I realized that I was wrong

I knew I would never cry

But when my tears fell, I am not shy

That day is vibrant in my memory

When we got departed

I knew that day would come

This time of separation will soon be gone

Hold on my dear, I count on you

Few clouds of darkness still prevail

And might try to take us into its mirage

Step up my love, our segregated pictures are ready to collage

Our sword of trust will conquer every demon

And we will break the chain of this misery

Golden rays of light will be there to cherish

You, I and our love will surely flourish.

Mohini was amused with these words. She found the ultimate truth and sheer happiness in these words. She lost her words and sense and was completely driven away by his words. Premnath took advantage of the situation and said, "I love you from the bottom of my heart. The time has come for us to unite. I have decided to give my life to you. Let's get married."

Mohini couldn't believe what she had just heard. She was happy and nervous.

"How can we get married? Noone will accept us."

"Do not think about this society. This brutal society has never thought of us. God will accept our relation who is superior to all of us." Holding her hands, he took her towards a small temple of the goddess. They both were in front of the idol of the goddess.

"I know this society and our families will never accept our relationship. But she is above everything and in her presence, I vow that I will marry you and I'll always protect you. We will leave this hypocritical society and go somewhere else where our love will flourish."

Premnath cut his thumb with the sword of the goddess and smeared the forehead of Mohini with his blood as a pure sign of their marriage. Mohini just witnessed everything and it was just like a dream to her. She was shocked that these things were happening to her. She could not even think that this could be fake because everything was happening in front of the goddess whom they worshipped. She was content and convinced that he was the true love of her life. Her eyes were full of tears and she gracefully looked into his eyes. They both held each other's hands and looked deeper into their eyes. Their eyes said many things. They made a promise never to leave each other. After cherishing that moment for some time, they both were guided by something else. Premnath took her into the woods nearby and behind a big rock, he put his lips on her forehead. Mohini blushed but it encouraged him to go further. This was the time when they were trying to connect emotionally and physically. Soon, he took off her clothes slowly and she hesitantly agreed to it. This was the first time he saw a nude body of a woman. He started for some time and started to admire and praise her spotless body and started to kiss every part of her body. His hands were uncontrollably reaching every part from top to the bottom. His tongue unbearably started to lick her parts like a free serpent searching for its prey. He also removed his tiny piece of cloth from his body. They held each other tightly and passionately into one another's close arms. Soon they got lost in the eternal bliss of the universe that they were searching for. They were in the seventh heaven to experience their love for the first time.

This was all witnessed by the other boys and eagerly waiting for their turn. They were burning from inside watching what they had just watched.

"Oh! man, it's so difficult to watch like this. I have wet myself"

"I did the same, I could not control my hand."

"Ahh! I felt like interrupting them and doing it by myself."

"Huh! we all are wet. Look at our dhotis. We'll have to quickly wash this off. We can't go like this."

They went to a river and washed their dhotis. Then, they kept on waiting for Premnath. After making love, they stayed for some time and talked about the coming days. They even promised that they would never leave each other and will be together forever in every circumstance. After getting romantically involved for some time, they got up and headed towards their home. He forgot that other boys were waiting for him. He was marching gracefully and the other boys stood in front of him.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"What? You filthy pig. Did you forget our promises? We were always here."

"You said, you would be the first one and our turn will come after you."

"Oh! boy, today you have tasted the fairy of heaven. Now it's our turn. It was very difficult for us to watch you pump that girl. You need to do something quick now. We can't wait now"

Premnath did not enjoy these things said by his friends. He changed his facial expression and said, "What are you talking about? How can you talk like this?"

"Wah! you swine. How easily have you changed your colour?"

"Look! don't play with words. We have all watched what you just did. Keep your knowledge to yourself and act quickly. Else, we will report it to your parents."

He looked scared because he didn't want to bring shame and disgrace to his family. He tried to convince his friends.

"Friends, I have just married her. I truly love her."

"You big crook, so..you just want to keep that pussy to yourself. Don't be so selfish. We had an agreement. I know it's difficult to share such a wonderful treasure but that treasure belongs to all of us."

He could not speak to anyone. He didn't reply to anything. For him, it was just like falling down from the cliff.

"You have just tasted an elixir. Now, you got to share with us as well. You have put an effort and you have tasted it first. Now, it's our turn too."

He felt he was choked with their words. They returned with their big dreams of sleeping with Mohini. Their every lewd comment passed on her were hurting him badly but he couldn't protest anything. That night he just thought of his situation and the ways to come out of it. The next morning, without informing anyone he quietly went out of his home to meet Mohini. They met at the same riverbank.

He said, "I can't live without you. Our families and this wicked society will never accept us. We will have to run away from her to another place where we will be able to live freely."

"I am scared. What will happen to us?"

"Don't worry. We will live our life. Tomorrow, we will have to leave this place. Do not say anything to anyone."

"Now, I belong to you. I will be your shadow. Take me anywhere you wish. I trust you."

He put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his face. "Don't worry. I am with you." He kissed her forehead, nose, and slowly put his lips on her rose petal lips. They enjoyed this moment for some time and quickly departed. The other boys couldn't find him that day. One of them said, "I'm sure, that son of a bitch has gone to meet her. He is trying to taste that beauty alone. He is cheating us."

They became impatient and started to search for him. They found him under a big banyan tree. He was lying down, closing his eyes.

"Look, he is there. But where is she?"

They were surprised to see him alone. "What are you doing here alone? You didn't call us. We went to the riverside but you weren't there."

"Oh! Sorry, I didn't inform you yesterday that she was not coming today. So, I didn't go to the river and came here instead." They looked suspiciously at him.

"Are you sure you haven't met her today?"

"Why should I lie to you? We are good friends and we have been together all the time."

Their expressions were clear that they didn't trust him. They pretended as if they had trusted him. From inside, everyone knew that he was trying to cross them.

"Let's go swimming then."

"I am not interested. I will stay here for some time. You guys go and have fun."

"You had all the fun yesterday. Why would you come with us?"

They also stayed there talking about their turn. They knew if they left him then he would go and meet her. So, they all stayed together under the same tree and spent a few hours.

"Ah! today's day is wasted. We couldn't get a single glimpse of her. It's getting dark now. Huh! Let's go."

They all returned to their home. They had a feeling that they should not leave him now. Early in the morning, they hide around Premnath's home. He came out at dawn with his bag and headed towards the river. They knew that he would do such a thing. They followed him quietly without his notice.

"We will not leave her today. We will get our equal chance. We will also quench our thirst with her youth." They were all driven by their lust and their lust was powerful.

Premnath waited for Mohini and when she approached he said, "We'll have to leave this place quickly." They walked away from that place as fast as they could. They were not aware of who was following them. After walking breathlessly for some time, they crossed the border of their village. They reached far away from their village and upon reaching the height of the hill, they turned back to see what they had left. "Look! We have left that miserable place. We are free now."

They both were tired and sat to rest behind the rock. They both were content and dreamt of their shining future. They both looked into each other's eyes deeply. They were free as birds now. Both slowly came close to each other. Premnath put his hands on her cheeks and started to kiss her fine lips. Slowly his hands slipped to her breast through her creamy neck. At this point, lust had overtaken their mind and body. He started to take out her clothes and he stripped himself. Not aware of what was about to come, they embraced each other tightly. Mohini closed her eyes and lied down. Premnath was on the top trying to take the eternal pleasure of the world. They forgot everything and were lost in their own romantic world. Mohini heard a hitting of a thick stick and a shriek of Premnath and suddenly opened her eyes. Premnath lied unconscious and there were four other boys in front of her. She was nude and shouted for help. They were in the middle of the thick jungle where no one could hear her. The boys looked at her as hungry foxes. They caught her firmly and one of them closed her mouth. Others caught her legs and hands. She cried and pleaded for mercy but they had just one intention in their mind to quench their thirst for lust. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Mohini was like a helpless bait in front of the hungry wolves. Those wolves were all set to ravage their prey.

They played with her body and raped her one by one. When two of them had finished pleasing themselves, she lay unconscious but the other two were not in a position to leave her. They became animals, totally savages who kept on forcibly crushing her body. When they were done, Mohini's legs were all covered with blood and remained on the ground without any sense.

"Is she dead?" One spoke in a scared tone.

"What have we done? We have killed her."

"Don't panic. We just wanted to taste her, didn't know she would die." They couldn't figure out what to do.

"We can't leave her like this. Let's crush her face so that no one would recognize her and throw in the river." She had little life left. When she murmured some sound, they were scared. One lifted a rock nearby with both hands and with force smashed that rock on her face. She lost the little life that was holding her. They carried her towards the edge of the cliff and threw her into the river. The fiercely floating river accepted the poor girl in and took her to another world from where she would never return. They left their unconscious friend alone and rushed to their home. Premnath, when gained his consciousness madly searched for Mohini. He called her name in pain and loudly and when he couldn't find her he too returned back to his home. The poor girl had a dreadful and horrific death that she had never imagined of. Her world which was filled with happiness for some time soon turned into tragedy and despair.

The boys returned home and remained silent for a few days. They didn't try to meet. It looked like they had already forgotten what they did. There was huge internal turbulence going on inside Premnath's heart. He could not freely speak about Mohini to anyone. He was scared that some unusual thing would happen if he spoke to anyone. He sometimes would go to the river in the hope that Mohini would come to meet him.

Few days passed and the four boys started to meet again. They were relaxed and calm. They didn't mention anything about the incident. They knew that there wasn't any evidence of what had happened and no one would come after them. Soon, they decided to meet Premnath. They met him on the same riverbank.

"How are you? What are you doing alone here?" One of them asked.

"I am waiting for her."

"Don't be foolish. She will never come now."

"It's all because of you. If you had given us an equal chance, she would have been with us and we would have enjoyed it together." Another spoke.

"What? What did you do to her?"

"As if you don't know, huh!"

"Tell me, what did you do to my Mohini?"

"Stop acting crazy. You forced us to do this. She is up in the sky now."

"What? You murderers. How can you do this?"

He became impatient and started to grab the neck of one of his friends. Others tried to separate him and threw him on the ground.

"Don't act stupid. No one knows about this. So, just be quiet and shut your mouth. We will be in trouble if anyone will know about this matter."

"Do you want to bring shame to your family? Your father is a respectable person in this village. He won't be able to show his face. Do you want to be the reason for your father's death?"

"It would be better for all of us if we remain quiet and forget this incident."

They all kept quiet. They didn't want to bring shame to their families. They decided not to talk about that girl anymore. Days passed by and they were back to their normal lives.

Since they had already tasted the bare flesh of a young girl, the desire to taste the same raw flesh would become unbearable sometimes. The four of them would talk about their fantasies. One of them said, "It has been some time that my body is demanding sexual pleasure. How long am I going to use my hand?"

"It's the same with me. But what can we do?"

"I've heard there is a brothel a bit far away from our village and the prostitutes are really amazing."

"What? Brothel! No, no..If someone recognizes us, we'll be in trouble."

"You scared crow! No one would know it. It will be like last time. We'll go and return quickly before anyone knows. Just arrange some money."

The discussion went on and they finally agreed to go. They stole some money from their home and decided to go to the brothel. They reached there in the afternoon. There were plenty of attractive women.

One lovely lady approached them and said, "Oh! My King looks like you've entered this heaven for the first time. You look nervous, haha" She put her cheek close to one of them and gently said, "I will give you eternal satisfaction."

They were too shy to listen to her. Another girl appeared and said, "Looks like these young boys have forgotten their weapon at home." Other girls laughed. The other girls also came to entertain them. They grabbed their hands and took four of them to different rooms. They started to drink and slowly their shyness vaporised. The girls taught them how to make love and they utterly enjoyed that moment. They were all drunk and spent everything they had bought. It was already dusk and they had to return. They had their final kiss and left the place. They were shouting, singing, and talking like insane people on the way. They had to cross the same river to reach their home. They were drunk and the last one walking fell on the river. Others laughed at him. He stood up and yelled, "Cock suckers, instead of helping you laugh." He picked some pebbles and started throwing them at other boys. The boys laughed and started to run. When they walked a little further, he heard an attractive voice of a damsel "Raghulal". He stopped at once. He heard it again, "Raghulal". He turned back and saw a young and attractive girl. She was so beautiful, wearing a white dress showing her seductive navel and body parts. The drunk Raghulal could not resist that beauty. He immediately approached her and grabbed her waist. The girl made a more seductive sound, "Ah! No, leave me, ah! leave na." They both laid on the riverbank. He took out his tongue and started to lick her body parts. The girl was at the top. She started to cuddle him and played with his bare chest. She started to lick him. Raghulal in full emotion closed his eyes. Then, her hair covered her face. When Raghulal opened his eyes, he saw a half-face damaged girl on his body. He recognized that she was Mohini and in terror, he shouted and struggled to get up. He couldn't get up. She took out her sharp teeth and sank in his jugular vein.

The other boys were unaware of this. The next morning there was a rumour that someone had died on the riverbank. The other boys also went to the river. Raghunath had no marks or any signs of a cut on his body. There was a red mark on his forehead and it looked like he hardly fell on the stone. The other boys thought since he was heavily drunk, he fell on the stone in the dark while returning. They remained quiet and his body was taken away for cremation. But no one noticed the blue tooth mark on his neck.

Mohini didn't receive salvation and her strong desire to take revenge kept her wandering on this earth. Boys didn't take it seriously. They just thought he had a natural death. The taste of the raw flesh of a girl and desire of lust was very powerful and they decided to visit the brothel again to satisfy their burning desire. This time there were three of them. Like last time, they reached there and quenched their thirst of lust. It was already dark and they had to return. They were all drunk and lost their senses. Upon walking on the river bank, the last one walking heard a seductive sound which no one heard, "Lak...shu..". He turned and saw an appealing young girl full of youth. He could not control himself and did the same thing. He ran toward that girl to drink that elixir from her mouth. She too gave him some drops of elixir and when he was fully under her control, she showed her grotesque face that they had damaged and drank his blood from his neck.

The other two were not aware of this. Tomorrow, they heard that Lakshu died on the riverbank. They went to see his dead body but they were unaware of the reason. Like last time, there weren't any marks on his body. It looked like he hardly fell down and lost his life. No one noticed the blue tooth mark on his neck.

Two of them died and the other two didn't have any clue what was happening. But it was strange that they both died in the same place. They couldn't think of the killer and thought it must be a natural death. They were worried that their two friends had died. They just stayed at home for a few days. How long could they have stayed at home? They were addicted to girls and alcohol. Staying at home was sitting on fire to them. They came out of their home to meet.

"Don't you think it's quite strange that they died on the same spot?"

"What's strange about that? We were fully drunk. The road was quite dangerous to walk in the dark because of rocks. They were not aware of their steps. They fell on the rock and they died."

"But, I think there must be another reason."

"Ah! Don't be silly. You saw the marks on their head. It was because they slipped and hit hard on the rock and they died. It has been some time we haven't visited heaven. Let's go and come quickly"

"They two died while returning from there. I want to go but I am scared to go."

"Huh! You coward. Nothing will happen. We'll not drink much. Let's go tomorrow. I'm dying to see my queen."

They agreed to go there again. This time they were just two of them. They decided not to drink much and return quickly. They reached there and entered a private room with their night queens. The girls were ready to seduce with a bottle of fine alcohol. The boys said, "Today, I don't want to drink. I just want to taste you."

"Ha, Are you scared of drinking? You won't be able to satisfy me without drinking. Come On darling."

"No, I don't feel like drinking it."

"Oh! My King, I'll teach you a new way of drinking."

She opened her clothes and showed him her milky and busty bare breast. She then poured some alcohol on her breast. Boys could not resist that. They kept on licking those huge breasts and she kept on pouring on different parts of her body. This continued till the time they were out of sense. They were not aware of time and soon it was dark. They were in heaven for some time but soon they had to come to this earth. They put their hands on each other's shoulders and started to move. They were happy to learn a new style of making love and they were competing who lasted longer. One would say he lasted long and the other would say he lasted. Their movement was not straight. They would reach from one corner of the road to another. They had to cross the river and they slowly crossed it. While walking on the river bank, one of them heard the same seductive sound, "Karim Lal". He also saw a young damsel with an alluring body. He also did the same and hastily approached her. He held her tight and started to press her breast and put his hands on her private parts. She welcomed his touch and this encouraged him. Soon, he was under the control of her. When he was totally lost in his lust, she killed him by showing her ugly damaged face by drinking his blood from his throat.

The last one remained now and he didn't have any clue what was happening. He was scared now because his three friends died the same way. The other villagers said that the riverbank has been cursed. They told other men not to go towards the river in the dark time. Everything was smooth and they were enjoying their life. Now, all of a sudden within a few days three friends died and no one knew the reason for their death. The other men stopped going towards the river after getting a warning from the old people. Kulaldev was the last boy among four. He stopped coming out of his home. One dusk, he came out of his home and went a little far from his home towards the bush to urinate. While he was urinating, he saw a perfect shape of a girl from the backside with a flower basket. He was curious to see the face of the girl.

"What is this girl doing here at this hour? Must be searching for a gentleman like me."

He started to follow her but the distance between them would always be the same. He would walk faster and when he thought he was near to the girl, the distance would automatically increase and be the same. The desire to see her was so strong that he wasn't aware of where he was going. After walking for some time the girl stopped walking. She slowly turned and said, "I knew you were following me." She was amazingly attractive. When he saw her, his desire for lust was heavy on him.

He said, "Hey Sundari, what are you doing here?"

"I am here to fulfill your desire." She blushed. They were now on the same riverbank but Kulaldev was not aware of this. His eyes were full of lust and he could only see that girl in front of him. He quickly went to embrace her and she dropped her basket of flowers. His hands were uncontrollable and started to touch her body parts. She also encouraged him by producing seductive sounds, Ah, Ah... He became wild and started to tear her clothes. "Slowly, Darling, Slowly.." She then caught his hands and with full passion kissed his cheeks and thick lips. He lied down on the grass. She put her hand on his bare chest. She slowly put her juicy lips on his nipples. He closed his eyes in emotion and when he opened he saw the grotesque face of Mohini. He shouted in terror.

She said, "Today, I'll kill the last one."

"Wait, wait, I didn't do anything. Please, Please forgive me."

"Forgive you, You filthy swine. You don't have any right to live. You have to die."

"Please forgive me. It was all planned by Premnath. We didn't do anything. We just wanted to get your body, not to kill you."

She was shocked to hear this. "You are lying."

"No, no, why would I lie? It was all planned by him from the beginning. He told us to follow you and after going far away from the village, he asked us to hit him and take control of you. It was all his planning. He took us to a brothel but he wouldn't go with us. He would go early and return early. It's not our fault. Spare.. spare my life. It's all his fault. He's even getting married."

"How can a person whom I loved and trusted betray me? Is this body everything? Why is everyone after this perishable body? Isn't there any value of true love?" She was shattered now to hear this.

"I'm not going to spare anyone. I will kill all who played with my life." She took out her long pointed nails and dipped them inside his throat. She drank his cold blood and left his dead body on the riverbank. There was one last person whom she wanted to kill now.

Premnath was aware of all these killings and he had seen all those same patterns of blue marks on the neck. When he saw the first killing, he had gone to the powerful priest and told him that he was being haunted. The priest believed him and gave him sacred beads which would protect him from every kind of spirit. In the meantime, his father had searched for a pretty high caste girl for marriage from a neighbouring village.

Mohini was so furious and wanted to kill him but whenever she tried she would not reach near Premnath because of that sacred bead. He would never remove that bead. The agonized Mohini couldn't do anything. One day she saw that girl with Premnath. They were happy and enjoying their conversation. This was intolerable for her to see all these things.

After staying there for an hour, Premnath went to drop the girl. When they were about to depart, Premnath stole a kiss and the girl was left breathless. She blushed and ran towards her home. They both were very happy.

The next day she came near to his home and called him gently with love so that no one could see them. She slowly called in a lovely voice, "Prem, Prem.." He heard and quietly came out of his home. She was looking stunning and attractive this time. His eyes were wide open to see her in this way. She blushed and ran away. Premnath also followed her.

He said, "Hey, Stop. Why are you running?" She would stop, turn around, blush and run again. She said, "Catch me if you can."

Premnath thought it was an open invitation to him. He started to chase her. Finally, he grabbed her from behind. She quickly freed herself and went a meter away and turned. She was breathing heavily and he could see the huge movement of her breast which made him out of control.

"Why did you come today? We were supposed to meet after one week for marriage." Premnath enquired.

"I know, but I couldn't wait till that day. Yesterday, when you kissed me I couldn't control myself and all night I dreamt of you making love with me. I can't wait any further now. I want to feel you right now."

Premnath had a pleasant surprise. He always had this thing in his mind but since he was getting married, he was willing to wait till marriage.

"You have to fulfill my desire today. Ha, ha" She laughed lustily and again started to run.

Premnath had to strike now. His mind was full of lust. How could he miss this opportunity? He followed her. "Hey, Wait…"

He grabbed her hand, turned her around and tightly embraced her. Her breast and his chest were tightly connected. She pushed him and freed herself quickly from his arms.

"Aha,.." She whispered in pain. "There is something sharp on your chest. It hurt me badly"

"Oh! These are just beads. Don't worry. Nothing will happen."

"Why are you wearing these ugly beads? It doesn't suit you. Remove it."

"I can't remove this. This is for my safety."

"Safety, ha, ha..What are you scared of?"

"You won't understand. Come to me. I am dying to get you."

"No. I won't." She showed her breast with rashes and angrily said, "Look, this is all caused by your beads. If you don't remove it, I will go from here."

He kept on staring at her breast and said, "My love, I will do anything for you. Please don't spoil your mood. I will take this away right now"

He took away his beads from his neck and dived into those busty tits. He didn't realize that they were on the same riverbank where other boys died. His mind was all occupied with the web of lust. Those divine beads were protecting him from her, but now since protective armour was removed Mohini got a chance to take her revenge. For some time, she let him play with her body. When he was all lost, she showed her real face and quenched her thirst of revenge with his blood. She had entered the body of a girl and when she killed him, she left that body and the girl lay unconscious next to the dead body.

After that incident, the boys stopped going towards the river. It is said that since Mohini had her premature and tragic death, her spirit wanders around the river bank. Even after that, some boys kept on missing and their dead bodies were found on the river bank. She kept on attracting boys and the boys easily fell for her seductive body and invited their death. She hated boys and kept on hunting them as her easy prey.

The voice you heard might be of another Mohini who was looking for her next victim. We just had a narrow escape.

This story shook me off. I was scared and thanked him for saving my life.
