THE SACRIFICE

Hey friends- this story is not very good, but its something i wrote for my best friends at school...i m waiting for your comments and feedback. so enjoy..........

Disha…

“I need some water please!!!!! Why is it so dark somebody put on a light?” I felt my claustrophobic side becoming dominant, I wanted to scream but I just couldn’t speak. I felt empty I couldn’t feel anything. I might have thought it was heaven if I wasn’t feeling so heavy. Slowly it was as if life was returning to my fingertips and they were motile. When I could move my limbs I moved them over my body to see if my parts were still there. I found a huge rock on my tummy and started struggling with it. At first static friction was defeating me but eventually I succeeded. Now I could breathe. I sat up and raided my pockets and maybe almighty was there beside me, I found the lighter.

Struggling with the switch I managed to light it. The 1st thing I saw was blood. I was horribly bleeding. I decided to ignore it for a while because I saw Sona lying beside me completely unconscious I shook her violently for minutes which passed like hours….. Without any result. Finally I gave up and took her fore finger and put it in the flame of my lighter and being Sona it just took her a second to get up and give a squeal. She had cracked her head and was also bleeding.

“How on earth did we get here???”Sona said. “It’s those monsters, we are not blue bloods... perhaps they will feed us to the tigers and not kill us themselves” I said and I swear I wasn’t lying but Sona laughed. How could she even think of laughing at this hour when death was literally standing by our side! I gasped when I looked at the watch. Just 2 hours till they sacrifice Anannya, Alisha and Maahi. “Sonu stop this nonsense, we have to rescue our friends please Dakota was taking about some 666 prophecy.” “666 what nonsense? You think this is about some devil. They are not even humans they are ghosts and its some serious paranormal activity.” Sona was far from listening to me; she decided to go by the public story. “No Sonu they are a bunch of Satan maniacs who uses the public story to cover up. I am in the sci fi department of Hindu mirror, I deal with it!” it was important for the truth to be incorporated in her head. After a pause she spoke “well agreed they are humans. So what they will b chopping off their heads in 2 hours time. Do you have any plan? Disha please! Maahi is getting married in 2 days and if I live what will I say to Riraj??” as feared my dear friend broke down and I was expecting her to give me some strength!

“Sonu! Sonu calm down we still have time just relax!!! I have a plan look! I have the key to the cage where we were kept”. God knows why I was babbling all nonsense. Let’s go find a way out. The dungeon was all dingy and to our horror we saw that we were walking on dead bodies. Bodies of young girls roughly of our age. I could see atleast 50-60 dead bodies lying there. Finally we found a door at last. With all my years of martial arts training and what could be about 15 minutes of struggling, we managed to open the door. “Sonu! Quick stuff your pockets with whatever you get.” She did what she was told. We stuffed our pockets with dust, pebbles, sharp objects etc. the pain on my leg was growing with each and every passing moment. After walking for some time in the darkness we saw light. After about an hour of random exploring Sona whispered, “Disha look, that’s the room where they are” “are you sure?” I asked puzzled. “That’s Dakota see?” that evil woman Dakota stood there talking to a man. When she was not looking our way I silently crept inside the room. “Thank god! Nobody’s here. ” I went towards the cage I heard a voice. No doubt it was Maahi. I could identify that squeaky voice even in my sleep. I slowly unlocked the door. Anannya and Maahi came out. I gasped when I saw Anannya. “What happened to your eye?” I said unable to get my words right. “Dakota plunged a knife through it.”

“Dakota… what??” before I could say further I saw Alisha. She was lying there half dead and the lower half of her right leg was missing!!!!! If this was just a movie I would have thrown up. But I had no time. “Quick!” I whispered, “Carry Alisha we are leaving.”
