CH - 12 UNRAVELING SECRETS & MYSTERIOUS ROSHNI

Chapter - 12

Rudhir was deep in thought, reflecting on KAAL's decision to send him to Dehradun for a fresh start. Due to his inability to age, Rudhir had changed cities numerous times over the past 200 years. 

He had previously lived in Dehradun, but a tragedy occurred, prompting him to move to another city. KAAL's instructions to return to Dehradun were motivated by a specific reason, with the added benefit of starting anew. However, the primary reason was different. A rumor had circulated in Dehradun about a WEREWOLF roaming the streets, attacking people, with one survivor sparking the speculation. Rudhir thought to himself, "I'm uncertain if a WEREWOLF exists or not, but if it does, it could be bad news."

 Just then, the doorbell rang, breaking his concentration. He opened his eyes, saw the clock, and realized it was already 7 a.m. He had been sitting with his eyes closed for the last four hours, lost in thought. He got up and walked towards the door, opening it to find a man with a handsome face, tall and lean, with piercing brown eyes, chiseled features, and a strong jawline. His short, dark hair was often styled messily, and a small scar above his left eyebrow hinted at a past encounter with a WEREWOLF. His broad shoulders and muscular build, honed from years of fighting and training, accentuated his physique. 

As a vampire working for KAAL, he was weaker than Rudhir, who was exceptionally strong among vampires. Rudhir's strength was comparable to that of a 500-year-old vampire, even without consuming much blood. Many believed that if he drank the blood of 100 humans daily for at least 10 years, he could rival KAAL, an ORIGINAL VAMPIRE approaching 100 centuries in age. The vampire's past remained a mystery, with their existence powered by a god, allowing them to coexist with humans for over 100 centuries

 

VIKRAM, a fellow vampire working for KAAL, entered the villa, his broad shoulders and muscular build evident even under his stylish clothing.

VIKRAM noticed the pleasant aroma in the villa and smiled, "Ahhh, this smell... who is she? This is a good smell." Rudhir gestured toward the sofa, and they sat down. VIKRAM inquired about the two girls Rudhir had mentioned earlier, and Rudhir asked about their well-being. VIKRAM reassured him, "Oh, I already took care of them; they are in police custody. The police arrived at the crime scene, and I already informed the parents of the dead bodies and interrogated the two suspects who didn't kill by your hands." He chuckled and said again, "But I don't know why you are doing this for a girl; is she that special to you?"

Rudhir sighed and said, "What do you mean by special? If there is someone else, I still save her." VIKRAM just smiled and said, "Of course, you saved them; you are a HERO after all." He chuckled again and said, "But you didn't like killing humans, so why did you kill four humans just for a human girl?" Rudhir's expression turned stern, and he clenched his fist, "They deserved it."

VIKRAM's curiosity was piqued, and he asked to meet ROSHNI, the girl who had captured Rudhir's attention. Rudhir smiled, knowing VIKRAM would understand after meeting her. "Don't bother; you will understand what I am saying after meeting ROSHNI." VIKRAM also smiled, "I want to see that girl named ROSHNI; I want to see why she is so special." He asked, "So, where is she?" Rudhir replied, "She is still sleeping in the guest room."

VIKRAM smiled and said, "I like to meet her now; she has to go to the police station anyway." Then, he started walking toward the door. Meanwhile, ROSHNI was still sleeping without a care, exhausted after spending such a hectic day. She heard a knock and opened her eyes, starting to rub...rubbing them. Then, she saw the clock and panicked; it was already 7:15 a.m. "Shit, I am still at RUDHIR's house; I have to go to the police station."

She rubbed her eyes again, started dressing herself, and heard a knock again. She started toward the door and opened it to find a tall man with brown piercing eyes and dark hair looking at her with curiosity and a shocked expression. She said, "Hello, who are you?" The man, who was looking at her, came out of his senses; he smiled and said, "I  can see now why , Why u are so special ! ." 

ROSHNI felt confused and said, "What do you mean by special? Who are you?" The man just smiled, picked her hand, placed it on the wall, started leaning towards her with curiosity, and muttered, "How can you have the same face as HER?" But ROSHNI, trying to break free, couldn't listen to him; she panicked, remembering her last night, and shouted, "Who are you? What do you want?" She shouted again , ""

She looked at the stairs, hoping Rudhir would come. She shouted again, "Rudhir, Rudhir, where are you? Rudhir, help me! There is someone trying to kidnap me! Rudhir, help me!" After listening to Roshni, Vikram just chuckled, "Hahaha, you are dependent on him, aren't you, Roshni? Don't worry, he is not going to come here. But why are you so dependent on him? Who are you, Roshni?"

Roshni shouted again in a frustrating and shaking voice, "Who I am? Who are you?? You are the one who is kidnapping me!" Vikram interrupted, "I am not kidnapping you, I am just curious." Roshni didn't listen to him and just started shouting again and again, "Rudhir, Rudhir, help me! Rudhir!" Vikram, feeling frustrated, tightened his grip and said, "I said, shut up!" Roshni felt a little bit of pain and she moaned in pain, "Ahhh..."

Just as she moaned, a voice was heard in both their ears, "STOP IT, VIKRAM!"

A figure appeared by Vikram's side. Roshni looked at the man and cried out in pain, "RUDHIR, RUDHIR!" But instead of comforting Roshni, he turned towards Vikram and looked at him with cold, piercing red eyes. He held Vikram's hand and started squeezing it, causing Vikram to cry out in pain and shout, "OKAY, OKAY! I'M SORRY, SORRY! I JUST GOT CURIOUS, I AM SORRY!" Vikram's grip loosened, and he turned towards Roshni, holding her hand and rubbing it gently. The pain subsided, and Roshni looked at him with her blue, hypnotic eyes, her expression shocked!
