Destiny

Attack

Srivi's POV :

Yayyy! Finally, I can go. Kri and Sasha. I'm coming... I will take a bath that will make me feel fresh. I got into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and I listened to some firing sounds. I got a feeling that someone is in my room. I heard a knock on the door. Something in me saying that whatever is going on the other side of the door it's bad.

A chill ran down my spine. I wrapped the towel around me. f**k, I should have brought my clothes in.

I stood there without knowing what to do. I heard a gunshot. The blood pounded in my ears. My legs are feeling numb. I moved to the corner of the room. I heard a knock again and his voice. He...The grumpy man. He asked me to open the door.

I unlocked it, something got into me. As soon as I saw him, I threw myself over him. I didn't understand what's going on.

He said me to change into something and went out. I wore a tank top and shorts. I came out, he started running. Leading the way and looking all-around maybe sensing any danger. This... At this moment I love it like someone is being protective of me. I ran to him, held his hand... He tightened the grip and we started running.

Many thoughts are flowing inside my head but I didn't bother to ask. Once I choose to ignore them. He took me to the basement I guess. There stood scarlet and Alec, we four ran inside which looks like a passage, more like a secret way. There are all rats and bandicoots here. I clung to David.

I held his hand tight. I know I'm fierce but that doesn't mean that I don't fear rats. We reached someplace. Alec turned on the lantern. What? Lantern? Who uses lantern these days? Internally I smacked my head.

I saw David's face, maybe he read my face. "it's our house" he said. 

I mouthed "ohh". I want to ask many questions but this is ain't the right time. They all stood silently watching outside the window. I sat there on the couch....whether this would be correct if I ask that I want to go or can I go?

I will better ask Alec.

"umm.. Alec, can I have a minute?". Alec came near me. Scarlet and David are still focused on something.

"what's going on Alec?" I questioned.

"Sri.. Someone attacked the mansion, now we can't go in there or we can go out from here. It's a hideout".

"But why did they attack?"I asked.

"Sri we are in mafia, things like this often happen, every time we attack, we never hide. I don't know why David suggested on hiding this time ".

" how many days you guys be hiding?".

" not sure, maybe a day or two. If the people leave, we can go out tomorrow". I gasped

"huh? What? Tomorrow? Like... Tomorrow... Tomorrow?". "yes...but why?" he asked.

Fuck.. I got an exam tomorrow morning. I'm drowned completely.

"Can I leave now? When can I leave?" I mumbled.

"Are you f*****g out of your mind? Can't you see? you don't understand the seriousness... Do you? You were just about to die. I don't... What would have happened to you if I was a bit late" David yelled.

I tried to stay cool. He's right but I got nothing to do or deal with this s**t.

"Thanks for saving my life earlier, but I got something more to do with not so my kinda life. You guys please let me go. I will escape, I will be safe and I promise that I won't say anything about this to anyone" I said.

"you insane lady, are you dumb? If you step outside of this house you will be dead meat. What do you think, that why we are hiding here? I can kill all of them if it's not for your safety. You dumb girl".

I didn't give a s**t about the situation. The only thing which is bothering me is he calling me dumb. How dare he.

"who the hell are you to call me dumb?" I lash out.

He held me tight by my arm and dragged me inside a dark room. He pinned me to the wall.

He's close to me, I can sense it, his breath touching my forehead and that making something inside me. For a sec I felt like my legs have gone numb. I hold my breath.

"you. You are mine. I got rights over you and you aren't going anywhere kitten. Can't you sense the danger? f**k your exams, I care about your life more And listen" he tightened his grip around my wrist

"don't you ever dare to yell at me...

You *punching the wall*.

Better *punch*

understand".

He left the room. Woah that was serious. But ugh... My life, why it became like this, I just want to go out from here. OK, calm down Sri... Breathe..just wait for a day or two, then plan your own escape, f**k everyone.

I got back into the room. The room got illuminated by the sun's rays, it's dawn already. The room got nothing much specifically. A window, a lantern which is hung at the corner of the room. A couch, on which I'm lying down, and three bean bags. No TV. No fan... Nothing... Just an empty room.

Yeah, how I forgot to mention this... The room is full of cobwebs. This room can be nothing but my worst nightmare. Every inch of the room is covered with dust. I pity you Sri... I pity your life.
