"What?", I asked him, my eyes widening as he shrugged.
"You need to leave this place now. In 15 minutes, you must be back in your world or else you'd be trapped in here forever. Your bond with the Other World grows stronger with each passing second but after these 15 minutes, the bond would be invincible."
I allowed his words to sink in. 15 minutes. 15 minutes to escape this petrifying dimension, this world of sin. 15 minutes to decide the course of my life.
I leapt into action as I frantically collected my bag which had slipped from my shoulders to the ground. It had Archit's contract and some photos. Pecking Aadi on his cheek, I wrapped my arms around him, basking in his warmth. Tears filled my eyes as I stared at one of the purest friends God could have gifted me. He sure would have brought my soul but I knew he won't misuse it. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time, so with one last kiss, I dashed toward the elevator and pressed the button. Aadi walked from behind me and held my hand, staring deep into my eyes not wanting to let me go.
I've lost enough people already.
The door dinged open and the musky smell of the archaic elevator waltzed nto my nose. I steeped in.Neither of us spoke a world but we both knew that this would be the last time we'd see each other. I let a stray tear roll down my face as the door closed, shutting out a serious-faced Aadi from my view. And then I collapsed onto the elevator floor and wept my hear out at the loss of a true friend.
----------------------------------------------------------
The tenth floor was arriving for the second time. Luckily no warrented spirits made their appearances and no triggering memories flashed across ,y mind. The diamond dust did a good job. As the lift inched towards the 10th floor, I found myself breathing more freely, more relieved. The door opened and I gazed out.
The lights were one but I was not going to be fooled again. I stared outside of the window to find no hideous cross and everything looked normal. I stepped out of the lift and the door closed behind my heels. For a moment, I wondered if I was tricked again or I had been too late. However, all of my fears went out of the window(pun intended) when a bald, middle-aged watchman made his way up the staircase, panting heavily.
"Oii, madamji! What are you doing, huh? Since the last half an hour, you've been wrecking the elevator. Already electricity charges have soared so high, tsk, tsk and you're doing this non-sense!", he scowled angrily but I paid attention to his eyes. Something twinkled in his eyes, something which sent waves of pleasure and euphoria down my spine.
Confusion.
He was fucking confused. A real human emotion. Oh God!, how glorious it was, so radiant so human! I jumped up 3 feet in the air, clasping my hands like a lunatic. The bald man kept staring at me in amusement, probably wondering what's so funny.
I walked over to him, but I didn't just walk. I did the floss, the robot and some salsa right in front of him before enveloping him for a hearty bear hug and bolting down the stairs.
"Oii, madamji....", he called out but I only cackled in laughter.
Every nerve in my body was quaking with joy. Witch each step I took, I felt lighter, as if a great burden was lifted off my mind. Yes, I was free. I was back. I'm no longer between demons, it's the real world-real humans! At that moment, I lost all sense of direction. Lara, Tina, Archit, Aadi all sounded foriegn to me. I needed no one, just me and my jubilant self.
I exited the building, still in a frenzy. Oh! How I wish to destroy that horror terrain! I skipped out and danced in the street, people staring at me, confused at this mad woman, but did I cared? Absolutely not!
I could read each and every emotion as I walked through the street. Happiness, awe, confusion, elation, depression all of them. So engrossed I was in my mini-celebration that I didn't even notice that I had pranced into a narrow lane.
The change in the atmosphere was taken in account by me but my no means detered my spirits. The houses grew shadier and messier, beautiful vintage bungalows morphing into ugly thatch huts. In one barren corner were three men sitting on a bench. Their faces were veiled by a thick layer of smoke and empty beer bottles littered the floor. I approached them, not fearing anyone.
"Hey!", I yelled, making an amazing dance moment, hoping to see confusion in their eyes.
Their eyes drifted toward me an I recognized the emotion I craved-confusion. They slapped each other on the shoulder, as one of the stood up. He stared at me, his eyes roaming all over my form, more specifically my breasts. When his eyes snapped back to mine, I was terrified.
His eyes no longer remained as that of a human's. Instead they transformed into malicious, evil one's. The emotion I feared and detested lurked in them. An emotion that the demons pursued.
Lust.
So strong not even the Devil himself could bear it. It was directed right at me, the villany stare boring holes in my soul, threatening to rip me apart.
Similarly, all of their eyes snapped to that horrendous emotion as they advanced towards me. I stepped back, their forms moulding into grotesque demons. The most ugly one walked menancing towards me and grabbed my hand. I tried to yank off but his grip didn't loosen.
What the fuck? Why can't I fight back? What happened to my demon powers?
I tried to scream but not a syllabe came out. Another man looped from behind me and grabbed my waist. I squired uneasily tp break free but to no avail. He breathed on my neck and negative goosebumps broke all over my skin. I looked ahead, all the while stuggling, to see the former man's lust-grazed eyes boring into mine, while signalling his third companion to hold me tighter. And that's when I realized...
They were the Devil himself.
The ugliest one grabbed my bosom and tears started to sprawl out. This was my fate; to be freed from a demonic dimension to be roped into sin.
The one holding my waist squeezed my ass, to which I tried to knock him down but I couldn't. They were so strong, so evil, so disturbing.
With one mighty punch, the men threw me to the ground, my back hitting the cold stones as they pierced my skin. I hissed at the sudden trauma but what I saw next bade my gag.
The men started unzipping their pants, a crooked grin on their faces as they ushered their gruesome organs out. They stripped their shirts and charged towards me. Silently, I plead with my eyes to let me go, but they never listened. One held my hand while the other started unbuttoning my shirt.
I was about to be raped.
A/N: Okay, this was a sad one. Like she just escaped and she is now being raped. Yeah, I'm a sadist, I know!
Well, this book is coming to an end. The next chapter would be the last and one epilouge( which would take place five years later) would be updated.
Plus announcements for a new project, some extra book covers and supplements would take up another part, so this book would have 25 parts exactly.
Wait for the next chapter(it's even more depressing) and don't forget to vote and comment your thoughts.
Alvida...
