Queen of my heart (continued)

The savage

"Sarkar , Maharaja was to marry princess Devika of Southern Mountains today but she ran away. " my messenger informed me.

"Isn't the southern mountain covered with deep forest ? " I asked him. 

"Yes , sir they are ." ,my messenger replied.

"Open the gates and let them free" I spoke and smirked at my own reflection on the mirror.

****************

"Princess , we can't stay here for long we will have to leave soon ." Surohi told Devika while she pulled out the ball of clothes that they placed in the underskirt of Devika .

"Surohi , I don't know how to thank you. I am so sorry that you had to leave the palace." Devika was sad that Surohi insisted on coming with her. She knew if they were caught ,Surohi would be held the traitor though it was Devika's plan but she was a princess , she was safe.

"Princess ,this is not the time to get emotional we need to leave for some other place.They would have understood by now." She complained to Devika . 

They made their way towards the end of the city which was covered by forest. They had gone a few miles into the deep forest when they lost their energy and decided to sit under a tree. 

The silence of the forest was deafening. 

There were no animals left in here or had gone away because of Rajaji's passion for hunting .Devika always hated it that the animals had to either lose their life or lose their home.

When she would confront him about it , he would let it off by saying he was saving the animals from a bigger disaster ! 

How well Devika understood the words that were shot at her .She was to bring the disaster. 

To break the silence Devika turned to Surohi. "Surohi , you saw the way that Army chief was looking at you? I am sure he is smitten" she eyed her.

 And she blushed proving her suspicions to be true. 

"But  does it matter anyway ? we are going far away." Surohi was melancholic. 

They were talking about random things when two arrows struck the tree bark just above their head. 

Maharaja Ashwini , Devika thought. 

But she was wrong .

Those were a savages. 

They looked at both the young ladies hungrily . Their eyes were filled with lust. They had those kind of weapons which early man used to have .And they were huge and looked shabby. 

Devika and Surohi stood up . "Surohi run for your life." Devika shouted and clasped her hand to run, she pulled her dagger out in case any one tried to come closer to them. 

But Devika forgot they were savages. They had power of gorilla and bull instilled in them. 

In no time they surrounded them. Devika thought this was the mayhem .Savages first exploiting this girls and then the city. She prayed to God.

 And just in time a javelin made its way through a savage's heart , another one was down in a very indescribable manner .

Devika looked at the source and her gaze met with that of the wild lion ,Maharaja Ashwini , along army chief and a palace troop. 

A savage came closer to Surohi to hurt her but Devika handled her dagger at the right time and pushed it at his vocal chords . Ashwini was fighting with another using his sword and the troops tried to control the increasing number of savages. 

Amrish was busy carrying Surohi in one arm and a sword in other, Surohi had fainted looking at so much of blood and in no time the green forest turned into a red warzone.

A savage caught Devika from behind while she was dragging her knife through a body . That savage met the deadliest end .

Devika was pushed to the tree by Ashwini while he killed many savages. There was howling , crying, clashing of metal , bodies falling to the earth and whimpering sounds .

After a while more troops were able to eradicate all the savages and they made themselves busy with taking off their early man weapon. 

When Ashwini was done with the last savage he turned towards Devika , his eyes red with anger and pushed her to the trunk of the tree. He snatched her dagger and pierced the bark just beside her ears. His face was so close to her .She could feel his warm breath on her cheek .And as if the moment wasn't enough  uncomfortable it turned hot.

His eyes scolded her for being so careless but they were caring too. He came closer to her ears. "Devika , you won't survive this savage now." He whispered and moved away taking her hand in his to go back to the palace.

Many obstacles will come in our way but you shouldn't try to take it all by yourself. You should believe in us that we will surpass every damn thing with each other.
