Yashika The uncanny puzzle of KING[ 18+]

4 - The muffled Screams

Digvijay's POV

Thanks to me sensitive ears or else I wouldn't have hear her words, "Rajasa, your camp is ready to rest."

Both Ratan and I were standing near Lake , having some important discussion when her soft voice entered my ears.

For a moment I forgot, Ratan Singh was standing right next to me.

"You can go. I'll be there.", that's all I said and turned my back to her. "I should keep the dignity of my throne and status." These two different voices in my head were fight against each other.

"Rajasa? Are you all right? You seem a little disturbed?", Ratan Singh asked while turning back to look at that girl walking away.

"If you allow, may I say something?", to that I gave him a side eye. "Thank you..., but I really think , this girl is not what we are thinking.", this time I turned completely and so did he. Observing her steps as she walked away.

"And why would you say that?", the curiosity of knowing his inner thoughts got the best of me.

"Since, the day she've been abducted and put in dungeons, not even once I saw her opposing or fighting against us. She did not defended or offended any  allegations.", now that he mentioned, it hits me, Not even once did she stood for her.

"That doesn't mean she is innocent. She might be pretending.", this girl is so uncanny like a shattered puzzle with missing pieces.

"We are not here to discuss a slave. There are much important things to take care of in my life", saying so I started walking away, "I really wish I could do something for her.", his words were lighting a spark of something in me, that I couldn't understand.

The only thing I could tell was, I didn't like it one bit. "And he's not going to get that girl at ALL!!" , the voice in me screamed in my head.

Everyone was dismissed to rest, so was she but still this girl was still standing at the entrance of my tent.

"I do not have any more energy to drain with this woman.", keeping my sword to one side and taking off my kurta, Rubbing my face , I stretched a bit to relax my muscles and went to sleep.

"If she wants to sleep, she can
do that herself."

YASHIKA

"He calls himself King. But he is nothing but a mean, ruthless, cruel and HEARTLESS ruler.", my blood was boiling every time my eyes went to this KING sleeping.

"Nirutsaha Yaksha!!", a frustrating glare was fixed on him. Atleast I got a suitable name for him to call.

"It's soo late. How can these people be so cruel to not even give some food? What do they expect from me, if they don't even feed a single morsel?", my eyes were roaming all around when a bowl full of fruits came to my sight.

My throat was dry, head spinning, stomach growling like hungry tiger. Those simple apples and bananas looked like a feast to me. Before my head starts spinning anymore it's better to eat. "One apple won't effect treasure of this Nirutsaha Yaksha."

Taking soft, careful and slow steps I walked around to the bowl of fruits, that was kept next to where he was sleeping.

"Don't make any noise. He shouldn't wake up.", I whispered to myself, reminding to not make any sound.

I'm sure my eyes must be twinkling like stars when my hand reached to that deliciously bright red sweet looking fruit.

Just when I was about to pick, "Ahh...!!",
"Mmmhhh...", my scream turned to a muffled scream when a hand covers my mouth. My Hands locked at back, under a giant frame making me lie on soft mattress.

I swear on my life, for a moment I forgot who was in front of me. All I wanted was to forget everything and cocoon myself in these silk sheets and just go to a deep slumber.

But then again, how can I forget there was a giant of a man over me?, "I so badly want to roll my eyes at him..", my mind was planning different ways to kill this man.

"What made you think you can come near me and I won't even know?", "MHHH..!!",  "how brainless he can be? Can he see my mouth is covered with his OWN hand..",

A disgusting smirk on his face that I so badly wanted to wipe off, was irritating me. "Always remember, a warrior is never sleeping,...", he leaned a little more squeezing me in. "EVEN...When he is sleeping, peculiarly when it's a KING.", he whispered in my ear.

This time?, definitely getting an eye roll.
"You did not just do that?", looks like the KING got offended.

A jolt of a pull made me stand straight, but of course, still my hands were locked behind.

"What you just did, could sentence you to death. Do you know that, you little THING?", his voice was low but growling like a angry lion. Just a lion scares it's prey with his snarls, he was trying to do the same.

"You MIGHT scare the world, but I AM not scared of you..", I growled back, or I thought I did. "EVEN IF THIS MEANS MY DEATH!", my words came out low through my gritted teeth.

His grip on my arms got tighter, giving it a just enough twist to hear a whimper coming out of my mouth. I've experienced this more then enough to understand. And I was not going to give him the satisfaction of his torture.

"You poor little thing.", the pity in his words was clear. "Death? That would be too easy for you.", his finger took a strand of my hair and twirled it around.

"I have something more exciting and eventful waiting for you."  His words and gestures were a clear indication that this man wants to wrap me around his finger and make me dance on his actions.

"IN YOUR DREAMS.", this time, I did not hesitate to hide my hate for him. Making sure to let him know through my Words and eyes.

"We'll see that, but first?", this Nirutsaha's hand that was holding my hand, tried taking the only food I got.

"Let's see what did you steal?", I was not gonna give my food . First I was not given any and now, he wants to take it away.

I tried with all my force but he snatched it away. Making me fall on the bed.

But what he did next. Puzzled me completely.
