Tej POV:-
We looked at those men with shock.
" No! " I thought in my mind.
Vihaan, Rudhvik, Akshaa, Mrijunjay, Apoorva, and I looked at everything with fear.
We saw Abhi, but Jay covered his eyes. So he won't see anything bad.
But he kicked Jay and Jay removed his hands from his eyes.
At that moment, we heard, " Guys! Look what we have here.
Queen Manvi! Also, one of the best neurosurgeons, Lily Smith. " I think their leader said.
" Isn't her real name, Teja Narayan, boss? " One of his subordinates asked.
They covered their face with the cloth.
" Yeah! Anyways, they made our work easy. " The leader said, and mom ran toward them to fight.
My mother is a black belt. So, she fought well.
Aunt Manvi fought with a sword in her hand.
She was fighting with the leader when suddenly, the leader kicked my aunt on her left leg, and she kneeled.
The leader took this opportunity and attacked my aunt's sword.
Aunt lost her grip on the sword, and the sword fell at some distance.
The leader caught her and put his sword on my aunt's neck.
" No, mom! " Jay screamed, but it was like they didn't hear our voices.
We looked at everything with fear now.
" Teja Rathor, surrender yourself if you want to save your dear sister-in-law. " That leader spat, and I clenched my grip.
For the first time, I am feeling helpless.
" We need to go. " I said, and Vihaan spat.
" No, Tej! You don't have any idea if you surrender yourself in front of them. We will lose, and you will cause a huge loss to our world. We didn't know anything about your powers.
Mom gave me this responsibility to protect you both. " Vihaan explained with tears in his eyes.
" He is right, Tej. I know this is heartbreaking. But you need to be saved. " Rudi said, and I looked outside.
I saw mom was in her fighting mode, but when she saw the sword on her aunt's neck.
She stood straight.
The man behind her kicked her knee, and she fell to the ground.
Two men caught my mother's hands.
The leader laughs while looking at my mother.
" So, you care about your family. Tell me! Where are your children? " That leader asked, and my mother chuckled.
" You will never find out about it. " Mom replied sarcastically.
The leader threw my aunt toward the other men.
Those men restrict my aunt from standing up and moving her arms too.
That leader went to my mother and slapped her hard.
" No! Bastard, leave her. " Vihaan and I screamed.
Akshaa cried, looking at the scene.
But again, they didn't react.
I think this safe is made like this. We can see outside, but no one can see us inside.
Also, this room is soundproof.
We can hear what is happening outside, But no one can hear our voices.
Mom's face turned left. She took a deep breath and turned to look at the leader.
" You can kill me. But I will never tell you where my children are. " Mom declared.
The leader turned toward my aunt and took out his dragger.
He stabbed the aunt in his shoulder.
We screamed together.
" You bastard!!! " Mom screamed.
" Tell me, where are the children? I will not hurt her. " The leader declared.
Mom shut her lips.
The leader took out the dagger and stabbed at Aunt's thigh.
Aunt screamed, and we punched the wall in frustration.
Tears fell from our eyes.
We looked at our mom, who looked at Aunt in an apologizing manner.
" T... Teja, it's... not your... fault. Just do not tell them. " Aunt Manvi said.
He slapped our aunt and spat.
" Where are the children??? " That leader screamed and twisted the dragger.
Aunt and mom let out a painful scream.
" Leave her, you bastard. " Mom roared.
The leader chuckled and replied, " Alright! "
He took out the dagger and looked at my mother for a minute.
He chuckled and cut my aunt's throat.
Mom screamed.
We looked at the scene with shock.
" NO!!! MAAAA!!! " Jay screamed and punched at the slab.
Blood poured out from his injury, and we looked at the aunt, who lay straight while looking at us.
Soon, she shut her eyes.
Jay fell to the floor and screamed.
We looked at our mom, who had tears in her eyes and looked totally stunned.
" Manvi!!! No!!! You bastard! " My mom roared and tried to release herself from those men's grips.
The leader laughed and looked at the mom.
" Look, I released her. Didn't I complete my promise, doctor? " The leader said, and my mother looked at him with rage.
" Tell me. Where are those bastards? " That leader asked.
My mother spat, " You will never find them. I will make sure. "
Then that leader starts torturing my mother.
They used needles, a small dragger, a cutter, and whatnot.
The sun was about to rise when the leader finally left my mother.
" We can't leave you like this. " The leader said and stabbed my mother with his sword. My mother coughs blood. We screamed again.
He took out his sword and said, " Let's leave. "
He said, and I saw a snake tattoo on his back neck.
" I promise, bastard. I will kill you with my hands when we will meet again. " I promised.
Those guys left, leaving our mother and aunt's body alone.
I looked at Aksha, who didn't even react after our aunt's death.
" Aksha! " I called her, but she didn't react.
I caught her shoulder and shook her while calling her.
" Tej! They... They killed our family. " Aksha said and screamed.
Tears fell from our eyes.
She starts to throw everything which is in this room.
She threw one stone at the candle holder's right side, and the holder turned left. That slab shifted from its original place.
We came out, and the door closed again.
We ran toward our parent's bodies.
I held my mother's head and put it on my lap.
" Mumma! Open your eyes. " I called softly.
Vihaan fell to the ground and held our mother's right hand.
" Mumma, please open your eyes. Look! Your Vinu is here. " Vihaan said, but mom's body turned cold.
Then we heard our uncle Arjun's voice.
" VIHAAN!!!! TEJASHK!!!! AKSHAA!!! ABHIMANYU!!!! MRITYUNJAY!!! RUDHVIK!!!! TEJA DI!!!! QUEEN MANVI!!!! TELL ME, WHERE ARE YOU? " He yelled.
" DAD!!!! " Abhi screamed, and we heard lots of footsteps.
Abhi ran to his dad and hugged him tightly.
Rudi asked, " Uncle, what about our family? My dad? "
I looked at my uncle, who looked at our mother with tears in his eyes.
He picked our mother in bridal style.
" Jay, pick your mother. You all come with me. " Uncle said, and we followed him.
We reached the palace and saw the blood and bodies everywhere.
We entered the hall and saw my grandparents, my father, Uncle Tanish, Uncle Mayank, Uncle Abhishek, and Aunt Akaansha's bodies.
We realized except for Uncle Arjun and Aunt Kavita, We lost everyone.
The childhood in me, my siblings, and my best friend died that day.
