Love Across Time

Chapter 16

Fury blazed through the pandavas,

Bheem watched the sword cut through the air, his hands shot out, one hand wrapped around the sword while the other on her stomach,

where the sharp pointy edge of the sword was about to pierce her, her back pressed into his chest as he glared at the man,

four swords surrounded the neck of the man, their hearts thumped in fear and anger, their eyes moving to her stomach, the hand of Bheem splayed on it, blood tickled down his hand, fresh crimson drops fell on the ground.

Had Bheem not placed his hand when he did, the sword would have cut through her, shredding her in two half, the mere thought of it had the pandavas growling, an all consuming wrath burned through their veins.

The attacker, he freaking regretted being here, Duryodhan had said it was a simple of kidnapping the princess of India and getting her to him, he never expected all this,

he quivered as his heart thudded in his chest, terror gripped his soul as he watched Bheem's hand tighten on her sword twisted it making it snap into two halves,

his mouth hung open as shock paralyzed him making his heart thrum as terror continued to build.

The pandavas eyes turned angry, their jaw set as they glared at the man with murderous intent.

"You dared think about hurting her?" The animalistic growl rumbled through Bheem's chest, his words were nearly unrecognizable by the fury that bubbled under those words.

He glared at the man ahead, red covering his vision as a murderous energy rolled through his hands itching to tear him apart.

The sword snapped in his hand as his hand tightened around,

fury nearly driving him on the verge of insanity, the loud thump of the metal pieces of the sword falling on the ground created a loud sound,

the shift of energy in the pandavas was palpable as the air cackled with strong dark and light energy, creating a deadly combination,

goosebumps spread through the body of the man as he quivered where his stood, he staggered back as he felt the weight of the strong powerful energy stirring in the air,

strong winds began to blow as lightening cackled as five of them growled, he staggered back as he watched with the five turn into mahakaal.

The man fell shock rendering him speechless, fear coiling in his stomach,

the five breathed heavily like the angry caged tiger ready, a loud war cry left the mouth of the five the moved their swords through the air cutting through,

a loud scream left the mouth of the man as five swords pierced his body, blood traced down his form as he fell on the ground before losing himself to death.

The five breathed heavily trying to reign in the fury, they let the change take over them as they took back the form of the pandavas.

The whimpers of Panchaali had them all breaking off their trance, who stood in Bheem's arms still trembling, her eyes shut tightly as she trembled like a dry leaf,  her bottom lip quivering as tears tracked down her cheeks.

Fear dominated her senses, the fear of losing, what if she somehow failed to save him, her heart threatened to collapse in her chest.

She refused to open her eyes as her terror took the better part of her senses.

Vrikodar turned her in his arms, embracing her from the front as he crushed her into his chest, tightening his hold on her breathing in her natural flowery scent that had his heart calming,

if he hadn't moved today, if his instincts hadn't taken over when they did he could have lost her forever, the thrumming in  his heart intensified, what if he has lost her?

How would he live?

How would any of them? Bheem wanted to shout at her, she should never risk herself, there was no point for any of them to survive if she didn't exist, she had no right to endanger herself even to protect him.

He knew she just wanted what was best for him but what if something really had happened?

What would he do than? How would he survive without her?

The thought of losing her had the pandavas heart cracking as an intense agony shot through their chest as they combed their fingers through her hair.

"You silly girl, don't you ever do that again! Don't you ever endanger yourself. What the heck would have we done if something had happened to you?!" He chastised, fear and terror lacing Vrikodar's words, who tightened his hold on her, hugging her tighter making her tremble in his arms.

Arjun took her in his arms next, his palms caressing her back,

"Shh sweetheart everything is fine."

He whispered in her ear making her tremble in his arms, the brothers all shared a look of concern as they all hugged Panchaali together, sandwiching her between them, the caressed her and touched her delicately assuring her that everything was fine, they were fine and she was fine, what more did they need?

Yudhisthir her carried her in his arms to the bed and laid her down, Arjun sat with her head in his lap as Yudhisthir and Bheem cuddled her on either side,

Nakul and Sehdev hugged her waist as they laid their heads on her waist.

They knew she was afraid, so they all chose to be silent, they caressed her and rubbed her back, assuring her everything was fine.

She let them cuddle her, their silent support and understanding warming her, their actions eased her heart way more than their words, they hugged and rubbed her back.

"Everything is fine love, we all are, you are, just relax." Nakul whispered, his breath caressing her skin,

making her shuddered as his sweet words wrapped around her heart like a warm blanket, the coldness of terror ebbed away as the warmth of the love and affection of pandavas slithered through her making her cuddle further in the five,

"Sleep love." Sehdev whispered, easing her in the world of dreams making her heart thud in her chest,

the heart that was once beating with fear now beat with warm feelings, how he managed to do that to her she wasn't sure, the warm lips if Yudhisthir pressed to her forehead, soaking in her warmth and love, easing her heart,

their close proximity was all the assurance she needed as her breathing deepened and soon she found herself getting lost in the dream world.

The pandavas gazed at her sleeping form, the calm and the peace that they felt when they were in her presence made their heart ease, in a short period of time,

she had managed to capture their hearts making them crave her like the next breath, the peace and her proximity offered was unlike any other, how had they managed to leave without her for so long?

How had they managed to survive without her? It was a puzzle to them, one even that they failed to understand.

Surviving without her seemed impossible, there was no way they could now ever leave without her, they could never survive without her, she had slowly become their addiction, one that they now craved every second of their life. . .
