A Gift From Spirits: The Magical World Of Fantasy

Home Sweet Home

Few days later the joy came to an end and once again they were surrounded by mysteries. After all, the twists in the life never ends and so their new journey began. They were searching their way back home. After a long search they were able to find, something they called as temporary door. They didn't knew any history behind this name but knew that it will take them back to where they belonged, their home. It looked a little familiar but something different to Jeevan but what, he didn't knew. The native citizens of the world helped them to find the truth of that mysterious machine. The native citizens of that world operated the machine and blue coloured fog covered the whole place. They didn't knew what was happening and all of a sudden a portal opened and Kirtika was getting sucked into it. The other three tried to jump into it but were blocked by a repulsive force and soon the portal closed. They were unable to see Kirtika, was she in their world?
          "What happened?" was Jeevan
          "Why aren't we home?" questioned Jaivik
          "This machine should get us back right?" inquired Janhavi. Ayushmann was standing speechless. Questioning his sister's safety.
         "It should have..... but it didn't......." were the words of the native.
         Tears rolled down from the cheeks of the four sorrowful teenagers. It felt as if their life was at an end. At that moment they just stood with despair, it felt they were stuck in a quest with no end, with questions without answers, thoughts without meaning and darkness which would never end. They were stuck in a place were they didn't belonged to. Again the same questions started poping up in their minds. Will we be home ever again? Will we see our relatives again? Will we be at school again? Will we be ever able to see our loved once again? Is this really what our faith is ment to be? Is this how our journey ends? Is this dark tunnel endless? No this can't be the end! There has to be a way! No night is eternal! Every night is followed by a day! The dark tunnel can't be eternal! As soon as Jeevan self-motivated himself, his diary started glowing. Jeevan opened the shining page and started reading the rainbow coloured ink.
         "My dear, I will be with you at all times, but first you need to believe in yourself. I am glad, today, without anyone's else support you motivated yourself. Just do not let this positivity vanish from inside your heart. Now I wanted to tell you this is temporary door not permanent door. Temporary door can be operated by anyone but has a limitation. It works very roughly. Sometimes it may transport everyone to their world or even not transport anyone. It also may transport someone belonging this world to your world. So in order to get back, you would have to search for the permanent door. The permanent door is lost right now. Trust me you will be able to find it and go home. I know you can and rest of your doubts will get sorted when you will find it. Take care all of you!"
          The next morning they woke up with a new aim in their mind. It was a new day, a new start of their new quest. They started planning their new step. They decided to split up into two teams, one which will research in the library and other which will find the door by searching different corners of that world. Jeevan and Jaivik were in the research team and stayed near temporary door, to understand any clue if possible while Janhavi and Ayushmann were going to look into different places. The next morning Janhavi and Ayushmann took their leave.
          They traveled different places and yet did not found anything. One night when they were resting in their caravan (which got its power through cycling) a portal started opening. Janhavi knew what was next she was shaking while Ayushmann was standing confused and what Janhavi feared the most was going to happen. Vampires came out of the portal and the world starting changing. Janhavi held Ayushmann's hand and started running. Ayushmann didn't knew what was happening but he knew he had to run in any circumstances. They had to split up in different directions to get rid of those blood thrusty monsters. Janhavi got a good spot for hiding but unfortunately Ayushmann was not that lucky, he got surrounded by them and soon became one of them. Soon the portal reopened and the vampires got into it. Everything turned back to normal. Janhavi stepped towards Ayushmann to tell him the whole story. But when she looked at him she couldn't believe on her eyes. Ayushmann had red eyes and sharpened canines. He stepped towards her and was about to bite on her neck. She pushed him hard and went on the rider's seat and started cycling. I am in middle of a forest, at midnight with a vampire in my caravan who is my friend. What could be worse than this! No I should not give up. I have to help Ayush. I can't give up now.  Suddenly there was a cry for help. She looked inside the window mentaining the required distance.
          "What's the matter? Why are you crying?"
          "I am thrusty, please feed me, I require your blood to survive. I will just drink a sip."
          "How can I feed you on my own blood!"
          "Please I am begging you or I will die!"
          "Okay, but only little."
          Janhavi gathered all her courage and stepped towards him. Ayushmann holded Janhavi's neck firmly and made a wound on one side of her neck with his sharp canines. Janhavi screamed with pain and pushed him aside.
          "Please dear Janhavi, I will not drink much."
          "No! You have had your sip." and started weeping her blood.
          "Let me consume it after all this is a waste for you."
          "You would not suck my blood, only consume the one on the surface."
          Hearing this Ayushmann started lapping her blood. Janhavi didn't liked it but at least he was not sucking it. After sometime her blood stopped flowing. Ayushmann was still thirsty but he knew Janhavi would not allow him to drink any more blood from her body. What was going on? Would she be able to survive with a monster on her side? Would she be able to save her ally or would the boy, who always helped her is going to be a vampire forever? No she can't let this happen. There has to be a way.
          Janhavi was tired and wanted a little rest. She clicked the autodrive button and peeked inside. Ayushmann was asleep, maybe this was her chance to have a nap. She took the risk and went inside to sleep.
          Janhavi was touching her mother's face and her mother was kissing her and all of a sudden her eyes opened with an unbearable pain in her neck. She was paralyzed for a moment, the pain did not allowed any movement. No thoughts were crossing her mind. She realized that someone was standing beside her, he was her old companion Ayushmann. He was drinking her blood.
          "Stop it!" The girl whispered with pain.
          Her body seemed to have no energy. Still with all her strength she tried to push the boy away but all in vain the weak girl didn't even took the boy's attention. Soon everything became blur she was not able to see anything clearly and soon it was all dark.
          The next moment when she opened her eyes she was in a bed, when she looked all around carefully. She became aware that she was lying in a hospital bed. But why? What had happened to her? What the heck was she doing in a hospital? Who brought her here? She was wondering this when Ayushmann entered the room.
          "What's happening?" The confused girl asked him then she noticed that he had tears and guilt in his eyes.
          "What's the matter Ayush?" she asked
          "I am sorry, I caused you so much trouble. I am really.really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I am a monster____"
           "Calm down and tell me what happened." She tried to calm him down.
           "Yeah, I will try to.. tell you everything. At night..... when you were asleep I... bit your neck and then, I started... drinking your blood. You.. you even tried to push me away but couldn't. After few minutes you... fainted, but I didn't stop. Oh! I am such a selfish monster!"
           "Stop it, it wasn't your fault."
           "Then after sometime I became normal, but it was too late you had already bleeded a lot. I tried to stop the bleeding but wasn't able to. I approached the hospital and after few tests the doctor reported that due to the loss of blood in your body you have anemia."
          "Anemia!"
          "Yeah I am so.... sorry. Then they took a little blood from my body but still it will take you a lot of time to heel. This is all because of me."
          "No it isn't. It's the fault of those cruel vampires. Don't blame yourself."
          "You have to stay here for a few weeks."
          "What! We can't stop now!"
          "Janhavi, we have to. We don't have any other choice."
          "But, Jaivik and Jeevan are waiting for us!"
          "Janhavi please, have a nap and don't burden yourself by thinking."
          "You too, don't blame yourself or you will spoil your health."
          "Okay, now lie down and close your eyes."
         Ayushmann was feeling guilty, though it didn't came on his face. He was worried about his friend's health. It was obvious they were friends since ninth grade and had been close since the beginning. Besides tha fact he was a very caring and gentle boy. He had learnt her awful past recently. He understood her family's situation and tried to help her, by being at her side. His house was only walking distance from her's, so he had visited it quite a times for project, group study and stuff like that. And now after spending months with her in this world they became closer. She was of the same age as his cousin Vadahi so she was a little like a sister figure to him but moreover she took care of him as his mother used to back at their world. He respected her a lot and never thought of hurting someone especially a close friend for his profit. He remembered the fact that back in the forest he had lied to her, about dying and stuff just to drink her blood. How selfish of me! He thought. Besides anemia is no joke. He thought, it was his duty to take full care of Janhavi.
         A week passed on with many difficulties Janhavi was not fully cured but was at least well enough for traveling.
          "Now we are going to continue our search right?" she asked her companion.
          "Nope. You have not heeled, besides I think we need to go back, its possible that they found something."
          "Fine."
          They continued traveling and after a long journey of few days they were back at the city from were they had began their journey.
          "Sister, you're back!" expressed Jeevan
          "What had happened to you." questioned Jaivik
          The two recited the incident in few minutes.
          "Anemia!" cried the worried brothers. "You should be resting."
          It was late at night they all were too tired especially Ayushmann he had been riding from a long period of time so they went to sleep. The next day they woke up early.
         "So we have a lots and lots of information to share with you." the two brothers said this together.
         "Go ahead, tell us what all you have." ordered the sister.
         "Yeah! Sure. So first of all we got this information from a book in an old bookstore or maybe a library, all I mean is, it was a huge place with tons of shelfs full of books. I'll just bring the book its in our room." after saying this Jaivik went into his room.
          "The tittle of the book is 'The True Unkown History' and it tells us much about the things which are known and unknown to us." He continued "About super skates, hypnotism, temporary door and much more."
        By this time, Jaivik had returned with the book in his hands.
          "Here's it, I'll start reading." He then began it       "The super skates are special skates possessed by a magnificent power precisely positive energy. The skates choose their worthy riders called the super riders. It's the rider's job to find that extremely powerful force and gain control of it. No matter how much you try you can never control the whole power and there's always a scope of improvement. The power is not only present in the skates but in riders as well, not a power from birth but the power, is hidden in everyone. In the future there will be a virus and those infected by it will be called dark skaters. This would be a deadly virus. It will be like hypnotism. The people infected will have their personality changed completely in a negative way. Their is no awakening through it for any persons no matter the age, the gender, the health and skating abilities, the only way to become normal is, getting defeated by someone in a race. About the energies there are two types of energies. The energy which gives life, peace, joy, love, honesty, pity amd hope, the energy which brings positivity all around is positive energy. Life is always followed by death, peace by war, happiness by sorrow, love by hatred, honesty by lies and hope by despair, the energy which brings negativity all around is negative energy. As things are good there are things bad as well.  Both are equally important because there is nothing good when bad isn't there and bad couldn't survive without good. It is the universal truth which can't be changed by a magician or scientist, not by a king or slave, not by a man or woman and not even by the God. The fact is, all things couldn't be positive and all things couldn't be negative there's a balance between them when this balance is disturbed the parallel world will end thus, there is half positive and half negative energies present in the world. Now comes the doors which connect all the worlds together. Their are multiples of world and each one has two doors which connect one to others. First comes the temporary door which contains the negative energy, it can be operated by anyone, as the name suggests temporary door does not have a fix position so it changes its position in every five years and it functions temporarily thus, if you even operate it properly it might not take anyone or everyone and most likely it take anyone even if he or she was not meant to be sent and might not take the person who intends to go. This method of transportation is too uncertain to be used. Permanent door is more preferable means of transportation. It can be only operated by one person and after that person dies a new operator is borned. This magnificent door is packed with the positive energy. Permanent door has a permanent position and functions properly."
          "That's quite informative!"
          "Yeah!"
         Jeevan and Jaivik grinned. When they were admiring the two brothers they saw something, something which froze their nerves the book started disappearing! The opaque object started becoming translucent and soon invisible there was no sign of where the book went! Had someone taken it? If yes then who and why? Was it a dream? They still stood speechlessly, thinking what to do and finally Ayushmann broke the silence.
          "From where had you brought it? Take us there."
          "We will take you there it's not far from here." answered Jaivik in a serious tone.
         The place wasn't far so they reached their destination in half an hour. All they could see was a empty land with no building!
          "Where it is, the bookstore you mentioned?" Janhavi questioned
         "It was right here!" answered Jeevan in disbelief
          "Yeah! It stood right in front of us!" Jaivik added.
          "Are you kidding me! First a book got disappeared and now a whole building!"Ayushmann said in fear
         "What's happening?" said the others
         "We should make a quick search if we can find anything." suggested Janhavi
        They left no stone unturned to find anything useful but the land seemed as if had been abandoned by the citizens. All in vain, nothing came to light. Thus, they decided to return back to the place. It was a tiring day and was full of surprises, the young people were in bed sleeping soundly and the next sunrise brought a new adventure and hope to accomplish their desire. They were dreaming of their home and they knew deep down their home coming was not far away. The next morning they woke up with destiny in their mind. The only thought they had in their mind was 'I want to go home'.
          "What should be our next step?"
          "We should do something to find permanent door."
          "Yeah, but what exactly?"
          "As the permanent door and temporary door function a little like each other, we can find a clue from the temporary door."
          "Good idea!"
        As decided they started looking near the temporary door. While searching Jeevan gazed at the ancient machine. He saw something on the door more likely a button with a strange sign on it, it had multicolored shining dots and beside it was another button with an unfamiliar sign. Deep down he felt he should press it.
           "Hey! Come here!" he called the rest of his companions.
           "Yeah, what is it?"
           "You see my instince tell me to press that button. I have a strong feeling about it. Same as that I had on the villa of Vampire world, when I thought of operating that glowing machine." He explained
          "We should give it a try."
          "I agree."
          "All right I am pressing it."
          He pressed it and the machine started glowing along with him. It was blinding, the next moment they were in a unknown area, they could see an angel girl standing. They asked who was she but the girl didn't reply. Only three possibilities came in their mind. #1 She ignored them  #2 She was not able to understand their language #3 She was not able to hear them.
          "It's about time." she said and disappeared.
          They were able to see a machine been separated in two parts soon they recognized that one of them was temporary door and other was the glowing object in the vampire world. The same females voice (Kartavya's sister) was whispering in their ears!
          "That was me." she said "And those are the temporary and permanent door they are in every world. They gets separated at the time when each world is formed World Of Wheels (the world in which they were trapped) is very younger than yours you see."
          Then they saw a forest were the permanent door was trapped in a fallen cave.
          "That's the place it is present right now."
          And again the voice fadded and soon no longer to be heared. They were back standing on the same place where the temporary door was, they stood perplexed.
        "That place, it seems familiar." said Janhavi
        "I remember that place.... its the same as that of..... the place were you fainted..... and I became normal...... I can take you their but... it will take three and a half day to reach there." said Ayushmann.
          "Take us there it's our chance to go back home." said Janhavi
          And once again they started traveling with joy in their mind. After a long journey they finally were at that place the fallen cave was clearly visible. They started removing the rocks. In one day, they were able to see the machine. Jeevan touched it and once again they started glowing together. After pressing some buttons, they were in their bed gazing at each other. The family of three huged, kissed each other and cried the tears of happiness. They were so delighted which made them forgot how tired and sleepy they were. The next day Janhavi met Ayushmann at school.
          "Hello!" she said.
          "Hi!" he answered and then whispered "At night I had a talk with Kirtika, she told me when she was back, she looked around and it was the same time when we disappeared. She roamed here and there but no one was moving. It was like everything was stopped!"
         "What! At what time had you disappeared? I disappeared around nine or ten."
        "Really! Then how come it had been months in that world! When I was transported it was near ten and you were transported at the same time but in the World Of Wheels it had been two months!"
          "How is this possible?"
