Rupali - The Mermaid

Asher

Sandeep's POV

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and frowned. I look like absolute shit. My eyes looked so dull and dead with dark circles under it. I got no sleep last night knowing that Taniya was out there with Maddison. My parents along with Parth's family left last night after dinner to the pack house. I was extremely grateful as Parth suggested that he will take care of the pack until I return. I wasn't planning on going back to the packhouse without Taniya.

"Sandeep, are you inside ?" Piya asked from outside of my door.

"Yeah, come in." I said.

Piya entered my room and sat down on the bed.

"There is no news about Tan. We asked the sea witch to try a locator spell to search her." Piya said.

"Could she find Tan's location ?" I asked with hope.

"No, Taniya is nowhere to be found inside our kingdom. And it also looks like she has used a spell to hide her location. She has never done something like this, I am scared." Piya said with teary-eyes.

I swam over to her and sat down on the bed.

"I think its time for everyone to know about Banshee and Vihaan." I said.

"But Tan wanted to keep it a secret since mom will be worried." Piya replied.

"Do you think its worth keeping a secret if it can help find Tan instead ?" I questioned.

"No, no way. Lets go say them." Piya said standing up.

I stood up too as we both swam over to the office.

"But there should be a way." Arjun's voice was heard from inside the office.

"No, there is none Arjun." Giovanni replied as we opened the door.

All of Taniya's siblings along with my friends were already in the office.

I sat down beside Mahi and started explaining them about Banshee and Vihaan.

"Why didn't Tan ever say us that Banshee was trying to harm her ?" Dominick asked frustrated.

"But Banshee is too strong. If he is the reason behind Taniya's disappearance, then we need to find her soon." Maxlynn said sadly.

"We have no idea what state Tan is in, Banshee might have already started siphoning her powers." Seb said the truth that we were all dreading to hear.

"What !" Someone said from behind us.

We turned around and found Amrita standing near the door with wide eyes.

"What did you say ?" She asked on the verge of tears.

Sebastian bought her in and made her sit on the chair before explaining everything about Banshee.

She broke down in tears after listening to everything.

She has always been so strong and brave while handling everything. What happened today to make her cry this way ?

"Mom, what is it ?" Gio asked.

"I have been trying to avoid this since many years but I couldn't." She said sobbing softly.

"What do you mean?" Gio asked.

"Something from my past that is haunting our present and may ruin our future. My past relationship with Banshee." She said making us all gasp.

Taniya's POV

I swam along with Maddison to reach the small cave in our kingdom. At first we swam upwards so that no one could find our actual location but later we changed our path.
