Chapter 2 - The Tom and Jerry Chase

Mukund's POV

"Okay James I'll be making this quick for you buddy" with this I hurled a bucked full of water on a sleeping James expecting him to jump on his feet. Unfortunately he didn't.

"Oh the Mariner has attacked us, call Megan and Ignis they are the world's only hope" he said but then he realised what I just did.

"What the hell is this?" He shouted.

"The Mariner did this. You know..... he's got the power to control water so its his attack." I giggled.

The Mariner is the one of the antagonists of the game "The elementals". Megan and Ignis are the two protagonists of the that game but I think you don't need the details right? Okay back to what happened after.

James got out of his bed and I started running out of his room and he obviously chased me. I ran out of his room and then came to the stairs. I ran down the stairs but as he was closing in on me so I jumped off the railing and landed on my feet and started running in the mansion with James chasing me. I leaped over the couch and threw a pillow on his face (according to me) which was at least 3 inches away from his face. Well I got a really really bad aim so it was pretty near his face according to me.

I then again rushed towards the stairs and climbed them. I started running in the hallway and encountered Steve there he was yawning.

"Oh hi Steve. Good morning. Well I gotta hurry coz there's a boar chasing me, he's outta his cage and I gotta get him back so bye for now." I said kind of you know rushed these words and I started running​ again.

"Wait what?" Steve yelled behind me.

But I was running already. I looked back to see where was James and i saw him running right into Steve and they fell but James got up and again started running. Okay this guy is furious now.

I entered the kitchen and I found Nora here. She was preparing breakfast with the cook. I walked in and said "Whats there for breakfast today Nora?"

"Its....your favourite.....shoes. You want some?" Said Nora giggling.

"I knew it, I knew it, I can see future.... I can see freakin' future." I screamed like a lunatic and raised my hands before James came running to me and slapped me hard right in the face.

"Did you see this one coming?" He asked giggling.

And I was really shocked. Even Nora started laughing.

"What the hell was that?" I asked foolishly.

"Well I am not yet finished with you boy. It was just for your bad joke."

Oh I remember​ I hurled a bucket on him while he was sleeping so he is like bent upon killing me right now but don't worry he won't.

I ran out of the kitchen​ again we were back to a Tom and Jerry chase. We again crossed the hallway and I again ran down the stairs but James grabbed my collar and we both tripped down. We rolled down and the carpet was rolling with us we were trapped in the carpet. It was an awkward situation because he was upon me. Our faces were only inches away. Man really awkward.

Ash walked towards us and gave us a disgusted​ look.

"You know I always had a doubt about you two." She said pouting.

"Whoa this is not what it looks like. This is..... He...." James fumbled.

We separated from each other. She looked at the carpet astonished.

"Literally what were you two doing the carpet is all wet from inside?" She said.

"Okay Ash tell me something what would you have done if someone hurled a bucket full of water while you're dreaming of...... Brad Pitt." James said.

"Wait were you dreaming of Brad Pitt?" I said with an exaggeration.

"Shut up! I was dreaming of....." James screamed but he stopped.

"Oh come on man don't you get senti now."

"..........Oh no not at all..... I've..... I've moved on." James said sadly.

Okay you might be thinking why right? He had a girlfriend "Emma". Where is she that's what you're thinking right?

She is no more. She was murdered by a Mafia boss. James wanted to avenge her but the boss died after two days of her death. He was in grief and he then came up with "Its not about vengeance" project. The protagonist of the game is Emma and the antagonist is obviously Mathews. The guy who killed her. James says he moved on but I can see the pain in his eyes.

You might be thinking why did Mathews kill Emma. She was a journalist and she wanted got some solid evidence against him. Its that simple he killed her just for his own interest. She was such a pure soul and Mathews didn't even think twice before murdering her brutally. We were broken to see her body. He sent Emma to James in a suitcase. Even remembering that moment gives me Goosebumps. I still have got them. It sent a chill down my spine. I myself had tears in eyes.

".....okay Mukund enough...... we'll meet at the compound." He said and walked back to his room.

I only nodded and held my head down so James couldn't notice the tears in my eyes.

Damn that guy we all wanted to avenge her but he himself after two days. James never knew about Emma's involvement with Mathews. Had he known, she would have been alive today.

I carried myself back to my room with a heavy heart and lifeless legs. Why did that happen? Why did she........
