The era of humans came to end when the computer virus named Abbadon...... corrupted the artificial intelligence software developed to create MECHANS (robots....... Which were capable to protect earth from invasions of extraterrestrial lifeforms kno...
Suddenly while reading the book... I heard a commotion.... outside..... First I thought it would be pain to check out....... As my injuries were raw especially my leg...... The sprain I received on that day still burnt if I tried to move......
But then I heard the scream of the doctor who was treating me......
Instantly the man inside me spoke.....
"Your beauty is in danger..... It's time to show her your bravery..... Save her oh mighty hero.......... "
I kept the book aside and with burning eyes and a manly look on my face went out to see who was making my beauty scream......
I looked outside the window on the 3rd floor of the building I was kept in....... And saw.....
A guy in royal regalia.... (Solid shining armour..Long black hair .. Twin swords on his shoulders..a white cloak.. And riding a black stallion)

Had in one of his hands a red rose...... And the other hand of his was holding the hand of my beauty...... By her looks I could easily tell that the freaken..horse rider was forcing her..... She had an expression of disgust mixed with hatred painted in her face..... Whereas the guy had stern eyes and a shameless facial expression........
Once again she shouted and said......
"Let me go....!!!!! .... Please leave me........!!!!!! "
At first I wondered what happened to her anger, a display of which I saw before...... She could have just slapped him.......
But then if she is not doing it........ there must be a reason for all this.......
The man spoke..... (His voice was stern and cold.....)
"You will be married to me in a few days......... And become a part of the royal house of Scarlets........." (He gripped her hands tightly as she winced in pain..... He gave her a jerk.....she fell down and scrapped her knees......)
"So stop acting like a stubborn brat and listen to me........ Today you will come to see the MECHAN duels...... That has been sponsored by our family...... I will be fighting in the prelims...... I want you to cheer for me as I defeat both the players..... Who think they will win this game....... Cheer loudly as I crush their MECHAN S..............
And after the trophy is handed down to me...... There I will announce that the honorable prince of Scarlet will marry the daughter of the ex king....... and save her from the curse that has been laid on their family...... "
" My family was not cursed...... She shouted....... "
Meanwhile I was stumbling down the stairs...... My leg was aching badly. .. My heart was throbbing...... But I had to stop him...... Be it the prince or king or whatever........ Nobody messes with a girl when I'm alive ......
I walked as fast as I could....
Passing the crowd that was heartlessly watching a prince torment a girl.......
"You and your family slandered him and stole everything from us...... I will never become a part of such a filthy household....!!!!!!!! .". She screamed at the top of her lungs as tears welled in her eyes......
But the guy was pissed beyond reckoning........ His voice reflected his temper.....
"You bitch.........you slandered my family as filthy........ Listen...." He went near her and spoke in whispers.
The words struck her like pointed daggers as tears trickled down her face.......
"No...... No...... She melted...... I will do see the match...... Please don't do that.......Don't stop funding our hospital..... There are many patients... If we run out of money...... Where will they go..... If saving them means giving up my body and soul to a man like you....... So be it..... "
His face bore a treacherous smile...... And his eyes were glimmering with evilness....
" Good..... So I will come to pick you up...... And from there we will go together...... "
Saying this he took her hands close and kissed them.......
Honestly..... I felt like blasting that guy with a bazuka......
But I had bigger problems.......
I went near her...... On her knees, she was sitting and crying...... . All the others had gathered around her..... and were whispering......
Seeing me she rose up..... And wiped her tears with a handkerchief.....
With a muffled voice she spoke.....
"Why have you come....... here.... I told you to take rest...... The injuries in your leg will become worse....... You need proper rest.... And..... good..... "
Shut up.....!!!!!!!!
I shouted.....
I don't know what happened to me..... But I cannot see a girl in distress.....
Everyone was quiet....... She was stunned...... I held her hand. She tried to resist but when her moist gaze met mine....... She gave up and I took her inside the hospital....
I forgot about everything. The pain in my leg. The memories that I needed to unlock in order to know myself..... Nothing was important anymore.......
The only thing that was important was to know that, how much a human could stoop down.... How much worse his soul could be painted with vileness ....... That he hurts someone whom he will make his life partner someday......
Upon reaching her office I released her hand and told her.....
"Look I don't know what was going on there but today if you accept defeat then you will loose your freedom.. You will loose everything........
I know I am nobody to whom you should listen...... But If there is still conscience within you, then perhaps, it will repeat the same things that I said........ "
She was silent..... Looking towards the marbled floor that reflected her face filled with sorrow....
I felt insulted....... Not because she insulted me in anyway.... But because I was unable to help her...... I thought it would be best to leave and give her time to make her own decisions.....
But as I was leaving.... I heard her footsteps..... she came close and held my hand........ My heart began racing.....
I let out a deep sigh.... And said
"I apologize for what I said..... Doctor..... But I saw a person who saves lives, toil with her own life. So I thought if I could help you in any way......... "
The grab became firm..... As I heard her low muffled breathing near my neck.......
I turned around......
And............... . . .......
Her weary pink delicate lips met mine..............
