Beyond the Fence

Chapter: 20

Kashvi was too stunned to talk, what did all this mean now? What was going to happen? Does this mean that they may come out of this alive? But Kashvi knew that the Potion Master was too evil to let Agni live. If he had burnt down the infirmary where there were so many innocents just because Agni had broken up with him, she couldn't imagine what he would do if he found out that she was alive and with a son who ran a rebellion against him! Agni was insane if she thinks she can talk to him and make him stop being a tyrant.

Sanjay was too quiet, Kashvi was scared that he would agree to Agni's plan. If Agni did go, the Potion Master might kill her the minute he hears of her and then he would go after his son and kill all of them in minutes. Kashvi hoped that Agni could solve all this, she wished that the Potion Master still loved her and would listen to her, Kashvi wasn't stupid, she knew it was only a fantasy.

"Sanjay, please do not consider this! That is absurd!" Kashvi said desperately.

Sanjay did not respond immediately, Kashvi knew he was considering this stupid plan, "look, this may not work but isn't it worth the shot?"

Kashvi couldn't believe Sanjay could be this naive. Was he not thinking this through? Does he think the Potion Master is stupid enough or does he not realise that Agni will be dead in seconds? "You have got to be kidding me! Think this through, what could gran possibly do? Reason with a tyrant? Fight him? Say that she loves him and would get back with him? You are crazy if you think letting gran go to him will solve anything, for what we know it will only lead to a great disruption! The last time Agni broke up with the tyrant, he fucking burnt down a hospital hoping to kill her! If she goes back again, I can't imagine what he would do!"

"You have no idea what I can do, girl." Agni snapped at her but Kashvi ignored her.

"Sanjay, if gran meets him, he will kill her. And then, he will come for us. I hope you haven't forgotten that the Potion Master can get into others' minds like me." Kashvi said, focusing only on Sanjay. Understanding struck him and Sanjay gently nodded.

"Kashvi might be right, gran. Your meeting with him will only make things worst. We should follow Lavi, for now." Sanjay said and got up to leave. Kashvi sighed as he walked out. She could still feel the heat of Agni's gaze as Kashvi got up to wash the glasses.

"You know nothing, Kashvi." Agni's words were cold.

"Gran, please understand that we have already lost two of our people and I am not ready to lose anybody else. This plan was never going to work, you know it."

"Then we sit here and wait for him to attack? Kill someone again? or burn down another house?"

"No, I have a better idea," Kashvi said as she wiped the glasses and placed them in their places.

There was one plan that might work. If Kashvi could do it without anybody else knowing about it, it might work. She may not be able to kill the Potion Master but she might be able to trap him in his memories long enough for her to make him dysfunctional and then she would leave it to the others to kill him. She has to find a way to get into the palace, she knew who would take her willingly.

Kashvi waited for Hardik to return from the barracks. It was already eleven in the morning, Sanjay, Darsh, Asav, Lavi and Raghav had gone out to train. She had no idea how that plan had come to her, Kashvi felt this sudden confidence taking over her. She knew if Sanjay knew about her plan, he would never agree but she had to do it, it was the only way she could do it. She hadn't planned on what she would do when she faced him, Kashvi had no idea if she could even get close to him, but she had nothing to lose now. It didn't matter if she is dead as long as she makes the Potion Master weak and vulnerable.
