ch 2: I hate myself

Dhruv is face to face with a spear man, he spin his weapon and pin it to the ground.

Dhruv watch as he display his performance. He look at the stick in his hands then at Master Desmond sitting on the other end. His master nods as signal to continue.

"Am sorry anutie but my dream is more important" he murmur as his eyes go far to meet Kathy gaze.

The man continue to display his performance while the audience cheers for him. Dhruv remain calm as he watch him.

The man jump, lifting his spear toward his rival. Dhruv move sideway, used his left leg to kick off the spear together he fall to the ground.

The referee run to Dhruv and lift up his right hand. Everyone clap their hands.

The spear man stand up bowed to Dhruv and leave the scene.

Another man came forward, he is full of flesh, his movement made Dhruv to shift backward. He watch carefully as he hit the ground with his right leg.

Everyone scream but Dhruv just smirk, he drop his stick on the ground. He move forward to the man,"you fat pig, catch me if you can"

"You call me fat pig, you call me fat pig!!" he yelled out. This is what Dhruv wanted, to get him angry. The fat man beat his chest while Dhruv run round him which make the fat man confuse and wanted to catch Dhruv even more but his weight don't allow him. Dhruv spread a white power. The fat man scream as he cover his eyes then fall to the ground.

He keep on screaming while he was drag out of the scene. The people of Tasara kingdom cheer for him.

Dhruv went to sit down, "you did great" someone said.

"Master, when did you get here?"

"Just now, remember everything I thought you"

"Yes, Master"

Dhruv gaze focus on two men coming out, the first man is tall in height carrying two sword the second man is fat carrying an axe.

The second man display his performance and confidence but the first man just stand still watching him. The fat man run toward him, the ground is shaking. Everyone cover their face not to see the disaster. As the man coming closer, the two sword man slide under him and kick his thing.

The man open his eyes wide and fall to the ground, his axe hit his head.

Everyone stand up to cheer for him. The fat man was carry out of the scene.

The second person that come to face the two sword man is a short man.

With one hand pounce and a kick, the short man fly out of the ring and couldn't get up again. He was carry out.

The two sword man defeated all the people that fight him, some die instant, the another injury.

The first round is over, tomorrow the second round begin. Five persons move to the semi finals. At first Dhruv was happy but looking at the other contestants he went pale.

"What happened?"

"I feel weak" he replied.

"Fighting all those person was not an easy task"

"Tara, do you think I will win?"

"Dhruv, take away every negativity from your mind. They may be older than you, stronger than you but you are you don't forget that"

Someone tap him from behind, "you did it"

"Master tomorrow is the semi final"

Someone slowly enter their center, Dhruv gaze is full of fear as she open her mouth.

"Dhruv, I have never support you in this little dream of yours, why do you choose to disobey me?"

"Auntie am sorry, after this competition punish me but first I have to achieve my dream"

"I have try, it didn't work, I have nothing to say again, do as you please"

Dhruv, Tara, Master Desmond and Nina watch as she walk away.

Dhruv put his head down while Tara hug him,"one day auntie will understand"

Master Desmond place his right hand on his shoulder.

"Am with you brother Dhruv" the sweet voice made all of them turn to a little girl standing close to Dhruv, her smile spread all round making their mood lightning.

"Mila, what are you doing here?"

"Father, you're bad"

"My princess how am I bad?"

"You left me at home, am angry at you"

"Am sorry, my little angel tomorrow you're going with me to watch brother Dhruv"

She jump up and down, "brother Dhruv, because am coming; tomorrow will be your lucky day"

"Thank you, Mila"

That night, Dhruv could not sleep, he keep practicing and practicing. Kathy watch from afar, "auntie, do you have something against the royal family"

The question made Kathy surprise but couldn't escape it "They're bad and wicked" she replied.

"What have they done to you which make you hate them?"

"It does not change anything if I tell you"

"Then support Dhruv, don't allow your hate to destroy his dream, please"

"Take this, he has not eaten dinner"

Tara smile, "thank you auntie" taking the food from her.

The full moon fall on him, he look up, scream out as someone tap him, he turn to face his sister. She move back, his eyes are red, his finger nails are longer than usual.

Tara keep the plate of food on the bench, move closer to him, "it okay to be scare but don't allow that fear to eat you up, fight it" she push his hair back. Slowly his nails become normal and his eyes turn black.

Tara hug him, "it is okay" she look down to see his bracelet.

She pick it up and place it around his wrist. Hold his hand together they walk to the beach, "eat your food"

He shake his head, "am not hungry, I need to practice more"

"Practice with an empty stomach won't help you"

"I don't understand, I need to be free"

"You're free my brother, this is you"

"I hate myself, am not normal like other people"

"You're normal and unique. Eat your food" Tara open his mouth, put a spoonful of rice.

Dhruv look at his sister while eating, although he is not in the right mood now; with Tara by his side, he feels safe and happy.
