10. The Black Zone

Purab's POV

After being pulled out of that room by Aaliya my right eye it was hurting a lot, tears were coming out of it. I controlled a lot not to let my tears down. Bulbul who saw me suffer, tried to come towards me, I signed her not to because I was with my hanging chad Aaliya. I excused myself from Aaliya and went towards a secluded area followed by Bulbul. She asked, " What happened Purab? What happened to your eyes? Show me, let me see." I stopped her and told Abhi, " Bro help me out I can't take this anymore it hurts to the core. I am not even able to see clearly with you guys moving around. I heard him speak to Nikhil's Clone. He told me to blindfold myself, I took help from Bulbul. We walked towards that cursed store room where everything began. Bulbul helped me walk towards the store room under the guidance of Abhi. He was speaking in my voice so she dint have any doubt.We both reached the storeroom.

Abhi said, " Tell Bulbul to leave the premises immediately I don't want Bulbul to witness what is going to happen here. If she sees will feel pity and tell me to end it." I told Bulbul to leave the premises, I will take care of my eyes. At first she dint oblige later I saw her leaving half heartedly. I was told to remove my blindfold. Now Abhi and Nikhil's clone entered my eyes once again, I was jumping in pain. He let both of them out of my eyes and he went back to his place (Inside my Subconscious Mind). Within a fraction of second Nikhil tried to run away, but was stopped by his own clone. I really felt sorry for him, but when I thought about what he did to Abhi every form of pity over Nikhil subsided away. Abhi took over control slapped him and many things happened I wasn't sure because I was in a daze. I was tired I just wanted to sleep, but kept myself awake for Abhi. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks, whatever it may be still Nikhil is Abhi's friend and he doesn't want to hurt him. After a series of events he wanted to guide the clone out of the basement towards the party so that no one misses Nikhil. We along with Nikhil's Clone walked towards the party area, we saw Aaliya searching for us. We led Nikhil (His clone) towards Aaliya and told him to keep her busy and left to Basement again.

This time we carried a bucket with us to the basement and the contents I really don't have any idea about it. When we entered I switched on the lights it only gave a minimal light which was enough for one to see through. The sight before me caught me off guard and Abhi told Nikhil , " Take a look at yourself buddy you have a surprise." *Smirking* His body was fully covered with Mouths very inch of his body and the bucket was emptied before him allowing the contents to spill on the floor those were worms yuck I felt like vomiting then and there. And the next scene was more horrible those worms were eaten by those mouths all over him. I buried myself deep inside my subconscious so that I don't hear or see anything. In spite of my efforts to do so, I still heard a person vomiting I peeped to see Nikhil vomiting worms I turned away once again. We went back to get another bucket filled with sharp needles. Aaliya would have spotted us but Abhi contacted Mr. Clone and told him to distract her meanwhile I took control over the body. I had to empty the contents on a cot in the basement and carried Nikhil towards the cot stripped him off his clothes and threw him on the cot.

Abhi's POV

When I took control over his body I saw Nikhil being impaled and blood oozing out from his body. I wasn't able to see him like that so I lifted him up and healed him instantly. But when he was healed, I was again reminded of my Fuggi so I dropped him down with such a force that it created a hole beneath the basement. I buried him alive, yes buried him alive. I don't want him to die so I dug a small hole and protected him from the mud surrounding his face and let a long straw in so that he could breathe. I heard Aaliya call Purab I was like, ' What do you want now sister?' I contacted Mr. Clone again. Wait I should name him something else ok, I got it! I contacted Niki again. He took Aaliya away for the time being. I went out and told Purab to take over his senses. We walked towards Aaliya and said, " Sorry Aaliya I am very tired now I have to sleep." She said, " You are staying in a hotel right? Why don't you check out and stay here instead?" I thought, ' Thank you for the marvelous idea sis.' Purab was too tired so decided to go to the hotel later and slipped into my room which they turned into a guest room. We dozed off to sleep.
