11. A showoff fiasco

An hour later after the 'Nothing's wrong' ruse of Sia, which should not have been that big of a deal, Nandini still couldn't get her mind off the fearful look that Sia had in her eyes. That look in Sia's eyes she had seen it before and she dreaded that look. 'Don't. Don't come near me. Y-You are a monster.' Those words rang in her ears yet again, making her shriek. She ran a hand through her hair, letting out a heavy breath. She didn't want anyone looking at her that way, never again. 'It was nothing. That look meant nothing. I am just overthinking.', she tried convincing herself for the umpteenth time only to fail miserably. Her hold on the open file on her lap tightened and the side of the file cover broke, breaking her trance. "Nandini!" Manik's concerned filled voice made her raise her head from the file, she had been holding, to him. "Are you okay?!" "Eh, yeah. But the cover..." sighing, she lifted the broken piece of the cover. " It's broken. I need to replace this." Placing

12. Suspects

"So this is your idea of escape?" "Not really." Nandini shrugged, stepping out of the car. "But isn't beach a perfect place to hang out in night for someone like you who doesn't like socializing." "I am not antisocial." "I didn't say that, did I? But isn't it true that you hate attending gatherings and parties?" "To some extent yes." he admitted, reaching her side. "Not all but I do hate attending showoff fiasco gatherings like the one that happened today." "But you still attended it. Like, why not just ignore it like Kai does?" she suggested, only to regret her words the very next moment. "I can't." he looked away from her. "I don't want people forgetting my mum. They say I resemble my mum a lot. So I want them to remember her. I want them to not forget that my mum existed in that very society. And I know I sound stupid and pathetic. But I want her to be remembered." "It's not stupid. It's really not." she assured. "I don't know." Shaking his head in denial, he slightly kick

13. Hybrid

The next day "So you are telling me the attackers are humans?" Nandini wasn't sure if she heard him right. "Were humans." Skyler corrected. "Now they are neither humans nor vampires. I guess we could call them hybrid." "How is that possible? Long ago when the three lords decided to give up feeding on human blood and relying on animal blood, we eventually lost our ability to turn the dead into our kind. So how is that possible?" "We did but what if there were vampires who started drinking human blood again?" "You aren't doubting the clan envoys sent to the human world, are you?" "I am just giving room to possibilities." Skyler shrugged. "That's not possible in any way." Nandini contradicted. "I agree there is a high possibility of the conversion power manifesting again but it would take time, a lot of time and a lot of sacrifices. May be a hundred years or even more and we have been here for just ten years." "It's just a possibility. So I am not sure either but one thing is s

14. Aftermath

The week took too long to go by for Nandini's liking, mainly because of her boss's cranky attitude. He seemed irritated with everything and anything the whole week and she knew pretty well none was his fault. Those were just the side effects of being the victim of mind control. He did try not to show his temper when she was around but most of the time it just led to sudden outburst and a lot of coaxing from her. "Sir has been too strict with us this whole week. I don't even want to attend today's committee meeting." Nandini heard an employee say as she passed through the corridor beside the balcony. "Yeah did he get ditched or something? It's like he's been taking out someone else's frustration on us." The other replied with a sigh. Nandini lightly knocked on the balcony door as she let herself in. "Lunch hour is over. You both do realize that, don't you?" On hearing Nandini's voice both of them became alert. "Eh, we were just about to get back to work." One of them replied, scra

15. Overdose

Nandini had been barely hanging in the presence of Manik with the help of her substitute tablets but now that all her tablets had been confiscated she didn't know what to do. She had been so used to relying on her high dose tablets that the normal doses seemed to have no effect on her, not even when she had chugged down three tablets in one glass of water which wasn't exactly considered a good thing to do and now she had been regretting it as the tablets effect had started kicking in. Her head felt heavy and she couldn't get a grasp of what was going around. She felt as though the world was spinning and she was spinning along with it. "Nanz!" Someone's hazy voice reached Nandini's ears and that made her a bit alert. "Nanz! Nandini! Are you okay?" The voice sounded more clear and the feeling of being lightly patted on her cheeks slowly started kicking into her system. Simultaneously her blurry vision cleared too. She noticed three things in quick succession as soon as she got back to h

16. Broken connections

Skyler was dead tired by the time he reached the square. The day had been nothing but a train wreck. He had forgotten to refill his substitute tablets and he had eaten nothing since the morning. Moreover, he was called in to attend a case briefing meeting with the senior officers and he was handed over a missing person case which wasn't even supposed to be dealt with by him in the first place. To add up he had to deal with some grueling paperwork that he had just gotten done with a few minutes ago. All he wanted to do right then was to throw himself on his bed and sleep but unfortunately, that luxury wasn't meant for him. He got a call from Nandini asking him to come to the square and he wasn't given the slightest hint as to why he was called. Sighing he pushed the door of the VIP room open. "Why did you call me im-" His voice died down his throat as soon as he stepped inside the room, for he smelled a familiar enthralling scent. He didn't need to turn to look at the person for him
