Pandora's Box!

Equivocal Intent

Double update !!!!!!!

Hey guys ! Here's the 11th chapter ! Enjoy !!!

(Latika's Point of view)

I couldn't figure out anything. The words made no sense! "Weakest accord?" what would that mean?

"It means you share a bond, a strong one. Call them out .Only they can save themselves. You need to save the weaker yet closest one" said the deep husky voice in my head once again. I knew that voice but I didn't have time to guess. I tried to focus on the words spoken in my head. "We share a bond?" I whispered in my head .The thought was enough to prevent me from falling on my feet. I removed my heels, sat in a meditative posture and breathe deeply with my eyes closed.

I called out to Mohit , Kartike and Uttara in my head in the hope of connecting with them, "Mohit, Uttara, Kartike, you have to save yourself ! You all are so strong, fight those fears. Try and you shall succeed! This is a delusion" I spoke. I started feeling their pain and agony in my head. I tried calling out to them, hoping that, this would save at least one, the one I share the strongest cord with. While the weakest link has to be handled with care for this attempt would go unnoticed.

(Kartike's point of view)

I was dying! That was the only thought in my head and I couldn't feel anything. Just as I was about to succumb, I heard a soft but strong voice in my head, "Mohit, Uttara ,Kartike ,fight your fears. Don't let go!"

Oh gosh ....I remembered. Everything came back to me; the metro, the lull, Uttara! I had to fight this. I had to save her. I had to help Latika!! "Focus Kartike! You have to get out of here!" I focussed as hard as possible and the next moment I found myself right next to Latika. She was crying, "Latika I'm here! You saved me!" I told her. She gave me a hug and sighed in relief.

"Kartike" she said "You have to save Uttara! She's succumbing to her fears! I have to save Mohit, my weakest link" she whispered the last part. "Call out to her." I started focussing on Uttara and after calling her out and imagining her in my head, I saw her crying and breaking. I started to help her just the way Latika did. She was my weakest link and I needed to save her!

(Uttara's point of view)

Everything was over. My father.....dead! My life was not possible without him. He was my support and I couldn't do anything to save him. A dreadful feeling took over me.  Suddenly a voice spoke in my head, "Uttara you are so strong and possibly the smartest person I have ever known, don't give up! Listen to me, focus on my voice. Try to remember! All this is a delusion Uttara ....come back." "Kartike!!?" I stood up....I was shivering and felt so dizzy. "This isn't real! I was with Kartike, Mohit and Latika in the motel, I have to get back. He's calling me. I have to go! I tried to focus on Kartike's voice and the very next second I found myself next to Kartike. I just couldn't help myself and I hugged him really tight and he too responded.

(Back to kartike's Point of view)

I just had a moment with Uttara when she hugged me. I gently pulled away to find her in my arms with a hint of a shy smile and a tinge of blush spreading on her cheeks. Her chocolate brown eyes were fixed at mine, but a sudden bang on the door left us abashed. Mohit and Latika entered with worried and exhausted countenance. Latika seemed to be completely worn out while Mohit looked disturbed and disoriented. Before we could attain our composure to make sense of what exactly happened, I saw a black silhouette from the draped windows making his way to our room. But he knocked before I could alert everyone in the room. Mohit's furrowed eyebrows gave away his intention of bashing up anyone who further messes with his disposition. When the man in black entered, the room became unusually cold. Latika gulped while Mohit clenched his fist and Uttara was too exhausted to make sense of anything. Her eyes were dreamy and she leaned on me for support. "I have had enough of you!" Mohit gave an outcry while attempting to get hold of his collar. But he swiftly dodged it as if Mohit was too slow for him. This left Mohit even more agitated but before he tried another punch, Latika came in between. Mohit sniffed with disgust, "Why did you help us?" I looked at them quizzically. There was something that these guys knew but we hadn't been made aware of. In his deep husky voice, while adjusting his hat, he responded, "I like to play when my opponent and I are at equal footing. Otherwise it becomes too predictable." His grey hypnotic eyes shone brightly as he continued, "the time is nearing and my sister to whom you had the pleasure of meeting, Latika, has found the urn. Chaos is bound to unveil but I haven't come here to talk this time." In a blink of an eye, he wrapped his arm around Latika's waist, pulled her closer, their eyes met, she fainted and they evaporated into thin air.
