Adviti pov

  We halted our journey as it was about to get dark . I started to arrange a tent and my sister Aakriti is busy with collecting fire wood to make camp fire. By the time we lit the fire it was already dark .

      Even it's dark I can see moon light far away from me . It's farmer here because of tree canopy .we both sat near the fire & started to eat fruits and some snacks we brought with us .As we were eating them my sister began to speak.

Chelli ( younger sister in telugu language of India ) why didn't want the warrior to travel with us ?she asked chewing snacks .

  
Don't ask ? I replied .

  Why ? Do you think he's bad .But he doesn't look like a bad person to me she said .

Not like that . I simply don't want to travel with a stranger I retorted .

But he saved you from the lion . At least you should have thanked him properly before leaving
She said.

Well I don't want to talk about him .I said .

  Why ?

I don't know .Now stop asking questions  . I said .

Well, he is handsome , strong , warrior any woman wants to talk to him .He himself initiated the talk still you don't want to talk to him . I think you can't see his beauty .you know only fighting nothing more she said tauntingly.

    I gave a glance at her and said sleep it's late.

She silently went inside the tent to sleep.

I sat outside looking at the mountains which are glowing in moon light far away .

     I don't feel sleepy so I wanted to guard outside even the camp fire is burning.sometimes wild animals attack even if you have camp fire.

   Later I felt thirsty so I went near my horse to look for water the wanted jar was empty so I went to check my akkaş ( elder sister) jar it was also empty.

  The horses are also neighing as they haven't had water for long time .

   My sister was sleeping  I didn't want to disturb her so I took my horses and jars with me and started to walk. It's not good to ride at nights .Also horses are exhausted.

    I walked sometime and heard water flowing sound and moved in that direction.  As I reached the place I untied the horse nose band to let them drink water.

    They began to drink the water .I bent down and dipped the water jar . Suddenly I felt something hard touched my hand .As I bend down to look clearly I heard a neighing sound from my horse . It's neighing in pain I as I bent down u saw an alligator dragging it's leg  with it's jaw closed .
I took my sword from my horse back and got down in the water to fight the alligator. But it's so large and powerful . As I tried to stab it .It hit  me with it's tail .I tried to release the horse as it was drowning in the water . But the alligator closed it jaw so strongly I couldn't make it open so I stabbed it in its eye .I opened it's mouth letting the horse go but hit me with it's tail I fell down in water and my sword stuck in the mud and my legs also got stuck in the mud I couldn't move from the place . The alligator moved towards me and tried to bite me I held my hands on it's jaws letting the jaws open  but I couldn't held  it for long as it's string and I was running out of energy. As I was about to run out of energy I head horse gallops I shouted Help ! Help ! Loudly.

  I shouted again loudly help while fighting with alligator . Suddenly I felt two strong arms around me holding the jaws strongly .I let the jaws open and tried to turn but I couldn't as I was between two strong arms .

    Get out of water shouted the other person . It's a male voice .He let me out of his arms and I got out of water immediately.

    I saw a man with his back turned towards me fighting the alligator . The alligator is trying to get out of his hold but he was holding it's jaws so tightly . The alligator exerted all it's force on him but of no use them let a loud shout out and breaker it's jaw it feel in water and died .

   He turned . I was him vikram ! The person who saved me earlier .Why it's always . Why he became my savior??

    He came out of water and held me tightly in his arms embracing me .I can feel his arms around me .I wanted to resist but I couldn't. He held me tightly in his arms . I can hear his heart beat . It's beating at a very high pace as if anytime it may come out of the rib cage.

    He placed his hands on my head and moved it gently.

   Leave me I said .

    Hey let me go from his embrace and shouted looking into my eyes .

  Are you mad or something ? Why do you always want to fight wild animals ? Is it that funny for you ? If you don't care for yourself at least think about your loved ones .He shouted .

     I don't know why I felt something for him . A stranger is shouting at me and I'm letting him shout. ! I felt like as some of my family member is shouting at me .

  If you can dare to fight a wild animal dare to speak to a warrior .He shouted again.

  I looked at him angrily.

  Stop looking . I think you only know  fighting and staring angrily at people. He said

I wanted to shout but I couldn't  raise my voice at that time . I felt something stuck in my throat.

  Now let's move he said  holding my hand. I ft an electric shock that time suddenly my legs became weak and eyes got blurred I collapsed I could feel I was falling but I didn't touched the ground two strong arms held me in the air.

  I couldn't open my eyes . Suddenly I was lifted by two arms . I can feel them . I can feel that I'm in air.
