[Vedant's POV]

I ran to Talaav-Vihar. The park was deserted today. All thanks to saffron saviors. They were doing a pretty good job, to be honest.

I rushed to the pond situated at its center and washed the blood off my uniform. The clear pond water turned crimson-red as I dipped my hands into it. There were cuts and tears everywhere on my body. But that wasn't my concern for now. I had to deal with something else first...

How am I going to explain this to everyone?
What if they erase my memory again?

I couldn't trust anyone, especially my family members. I tried to think of all the people I could count on.

Avni Di, Amruta, Jay, Ishwari...
But none of them seemed reliable.

That's when a name popped up in my head all of a sudden. Arey ha!

I hastily took out my mobile and scrolled through my contacts. There it was!

"Hello?" I said nervously.
"Vedant?" The voice on the other side asked.

"Yes, it is me..." I sighed.
"It's been a while... How are you?"

"Not good..."
"WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IS EVERYTHING FINE?"

"I am injured, badly. But most importantly, I'm confused. I can't trust anyone right now except my best friend. So come and help me, bro."
"Okkk I'll come there. But can you at least tell me what happened? You remember our No-Secrets pact right?"

"To be honest, even I don't know. I have some powers it seems. There's an armor over my body. I can't tell you about it on call... Come here, I'm waiting..."
"Yeah, I'll be there... but where are you... Hello Vedant?..."

"..."
"Vedant?!"

"..."
"Shitz.



[Third Person POV]

Mahesh dropped his phone. Every passing moment was freaking him out. He panicked and called out to his younger sister.
"Mayu?!!! Are you there?" He shouted as he ran upstairs to her room. "Mayu?!"

A surprised Mayuri sprung out of her bed as she heard her brother shouting. "Dada, what happened??" she asked.

"It's Vedant," he revealed. "He needs our help."
"Why? What happened to him??"
"I don't know much. Find him, we need to get there," he said as he pulled her towards the terrace. "Quick open the portal!"

"Dada, I can't do it-"
"Just open the damn portal Mayu!" he screamed.


[Vedant's POV]

I tried to open my eyes and look around. A bright circle of light illuminated the entire surrounding. Some people jumped out of it.

"Vedant? Vedant?! Say something you son of a gun!" Someone said as I felt a couple of hands supporting my back.
"Mahesh?? You came here..." I mumbled.

That's when I felt a soft hand on my cheek. "What have you done to yourself Vedant?" another voice said. It was familiar yet soothing.

Mayuri?
