The Power Symbol

Tejashk POV:- " Tej!!! Wake up! Mumma is calling for us. " I heard my twin sister, Akshaa's melodious voice. I groaned and put the pillow above my head. I was enjoying some peace in my sleep when suddenly I was wet. I sat on my bed immediately. I looked at my sister, who had a bucket in her hand. She is laughing at me. I looked at her with rage and showed my smirk, which meant trouble. She gulped and tried to run from my room. I run after her immediately. Luckily, someone opened the door, and Akshaa bumped into that person. I looked at the person and smiled. It was my older brother, Vihaan. " Bhai(Brother), save me please from this monster! " Aksha said and tried to hide from me. But I caught her wrist and pulled her toward me. I picked her on bridal style and took her to my bathroom. There I threw her in the bathtub, which was filled with water already. She screamed. Vihaan and I laughed at her. She stood up and said, " Bhai, Tej, you are not my brothers anymore. " We stopped laughing, and I said, " Aku, We didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You played a prank on me. I did the same. Now, don't be mad, my sister. " " Aku, I didn't get the chance to understand the situation. Then how could I save you? Don't be mad at your older brother. " Vihaan said, and we walked to her. She caught our wrist and pushed us to her. We both fell onto the tub, and we heard Aku's laugh. Then, we stood up and looked at her. " Akshaa!!!! " Vihaan and I screamed, and there we started the splash fight. We were enjoying our time when we heard a yell. " What the hell are you all doing? " Mom yelled. We turned and saw her. She was looking at us while her hands were on her hips. We stood still and began to explain. " Mom, it's happened because of Akshaa. She threw water on me when I was sleeping. " I replied. " Mom, he is not waking up for breakfast. I thought of this idea. I didn't know he threw me in the bathtub. " Akshaa said. " Mumma, I was ready and came to their room to give the last call. But Aku opened the door, and Tej picked her up and threw her in the bathtub. Aku played a prank and threw us in the bathtub. " Vihaan said. " Vihaan, you are 18. At least, you can stop them. I am so disappointed. Aksha and Tejashk! Wait for us to go back home. You all are grounded for a week. You all can't eat chocolates too. " Mom spat, and we looked at her with shock. " BUT, MOM- " Before we trio complete our sentence, she glared at us with her cold eyes. We stopped. After all, we knew what her glare meant. " Get ready! Come down in 20 minutes. " Mom declared, and we nodded like obedient children. We all went to our room to get ready quickly. Hello, I am Tejashk Rathore. My parents are Dr. Lily Smith/ Teja Narayan and Dr. Akaash Rathore. Akshaa and I are about to turn 15 at the end of this year. We are in the Jaisalmer in our palace. We are here to celebrate my grandparents' 48th anniversary and Jay's grandparents' 50th anniversary. Jay is the nickname of my cousin's brother Mrityunjay. Rudhvik is coming here with his father today. He is my best friend, and I am excited to see him. I took my shower and wore a yellow t-shirt and black jeans. I went downstairs and saw all our family sitting in their prospective seats. " Good morning, everyone. I am sorry for being late. " I said, and my mother glared at me. We siblings sat together and had our breakfast quietly. We looked at our parents, who talked to each other in a serious matter. No one disturbed them. After breakfast, we went to the game room. We played in groups. Vihaan and Akshaa played chess. Apoorva, our second cousin's sister, Jay, and I played Video games. We didn't even get the idea of how the time flowed. Suddenly, the door opened, and we turned to look at the door. We saw my best friend Rudhvik(Rudi) and my third cousin, Abhimanyu(Abhi) standing at the entrance. Abhimanyu is the son of my uncle Arjun Williams and my Aunt Kavita Rathore. He is two years younger than us. " Rudi! " I called and hugged him tightly. Then I turned to Abhi and hugged him too. " How do you both come together? " I asked. " Dad and Abhi's family came to the entrance at the same time. " Rudi replied. " Yeah! Mom and dad went to buy some gifts as my dear father forgot to buy the gift. " Abhi replied and rolled his eyes. We giggled. Then after spending some time, we went to the hall and saw everyone was already there. We greeted Uncle Tanish, Grandpa Raj, and Grandma Rajshree. They respond to us with a smile. Then we turned and looked at my Granpa Albert and grandma Angelina. We greet them, and they greet us back. " Aunt Teja, isn't my parents come back till now? " Abhi asked. My mother shook her head and replied, " No, son. But don't worry. They will come back soon. " He smiled and nodded. " Mumma, isn't Aunt Bubbly and her family coming? " I asked, and she shook her head in disappointment. " They went on an important business tour. " Mom replied. Then suddenly, we heard some noises outside. We turned, and suddenly a bodyguard entered. His white shirt strained in blood, and his face was injured. " There is an attack, King. Please go to the safe room with everyone. " That bodyguard said and fell on the floor straight. Then we saw the knife on his back. " Teja, Manvi, and Akaansha! Took the children to the safe room. Manvi will show the way to the safe room. " Our grandfather said. Dad, our uncles, and our grandfathers took pistols or swords in their hands. " What about mummy Ji, Mom, Mumma, and Tai Ji? " Mom asked. " We won't be able to run with you, dear. But these children needed to be safe. We are female warriors. We can fight for our family. Now GO!" My grandma Janvi spat. Aunt Manvi pushed us toward the back door. There were tears in our mothers' eyes, but they ran with us. When the back door opened, we saw some assains. Our grandmother ran towards them to fight, and they ordered, " LEAVE!!!! " We all ran and followed aunt Manvi. " Catch them! " We heard some males' voices, and we heard their footsteps. " Manvi and Teja, I stop them. You both take care of our children and make sure they are safe. " Aunt Akaansha said and ran toward those assains with the sword in her hand. Apoorva screamed for her mother. Vihaan held her tightly, and we ran toward the forest. After running for almost an hour, we reached Lord Ganesh Statue. It was above a huge slab. The top side had four decorated pointers with rocks. The other four sides had four litten diya's designs. This place is mysterious but amazing. I would love this place more if our family was not dying. Aunt Manvi went toward Lord Ganesh Temple and touched the left and back pointers. Suddenly, the front slab shifted and revealed an under-room. " Children, go in the room quickly! " Aunt Manvi said, and everyone entered. I saw Vihaan look at our mother and asked, " Why aren't you and aunt come with us? " Mom cupped his face and said, " Vihaan, remember I love you and your siblings. You are the second oldest child among them. It will be your and Rudhvik's responsibility to take care of them and protect them. Those people must be looking for us. So, we need to distract them. So, they won't hurt you.  Go now, and don't worry about us. Daddy and Mommy always love you all. " Mumma said with tears in her eyes. She pushed Vihaan. When Vihaan entered, the slab came back to its place after aunt Manvi removed her hand. " Manvi! We must run and distract them. " Mom said, and Aunt Manvi nodded with tears in her eyes. Mom hugged her tightly and consoled her. Aunt cried for a minute but broke their hug. " Let's run. " Aunt said. They were about to run when we saw some males dressed in black come to them.
