jabardast updateEpisode 56
New opponent
Suraj hairani se apne samne kharay makhlooq ko dekh raha tha. Use yaqeen hi nahi aa raha tha ke Sikandar apne andar ke demon ko dabane mein kamyab ho gaya… aur us ne ek Supernatural ko zinda chhor diya.
Us ke samne jo makhlooq khari thi, woh ek Cyclops tha — Ugrok.
Ugrok ne garaj kar zor se roar kiya.
Us ki roar se hawa par bojh sa mehsoos hua, jaise pressure wave phail gayi ho. Leader aur us ke saathi buri tarah hila diye gaye. Unhein yaqeen nahi aa raha tha ke woh kya dekh rahe hain.
‘Cyclops?! Yeh yahan kaise aa gaya?’
Leader ne dil hi dil mein hairani se socha.
Ugrok ke pehle hamlay mein jo chaar aadmi uchhal kar door ja gire thay, woh buri tarah zakhmi ho chuke thay. Ugrok ke bhari club ne un ke seenay ke right side par zor daar war kiya tha, jis ki wajah se unhein saans lena mushkil ho raha tha.
Leader ne bhonwen sikor li.
Us ka jism aag se jal uthha.
Irad girad ka temperature aik dum barh gaya.
Us ke right haath ki pith par ek rune chamak uthi — roshni itni tez thi ke aankhein chubhne lagen.
Yeh rune Sikandar ke black lightning rune se mukhtalif thi, aur Adhara ke purple fire rune se bhi.
Yeh rune mukammal thi.
‘Yeh waqai Rank Five Awakened hai…’
Suraj ne dil mein socha.
Phir us ne Ugrok ki taraf dekha jo un sab par saaya ban kar khara tha.
‘Kya yeh Cyclops… ek Rank Five Awakened ko hara sakta hai?’
Suraj ke zehan mein sawal uthha.
Ugrok ki aik aankh laal ho gayi.
Us ke jism ki nasen phool gayin. Us ke daant aur seeng tez aur mote ho gaye. Us ka jism aur zyada bara ho gaya.
Suraj ne dekha ke Ugrok ke jism se dark-yellow aura nikal rahi thi.
Yeh dekh kar Suraj chok gaya.
Us aura mein kuch aisa tha jo use Sikandar ke white aura ki yaad dila raha tha.
Agar Sikandar yahan hota, to woh bhi hairan reh jata.
Yeh dark-yellow aura asal mein Force ka aik aala darja thi.
Force ke maamle mein, Ugrok ne Sikandar ko bhi peeche chhor diya tha.
Woh dark-yellow Force ko control kar raha tha.
Ek lamha zaya kiye baghair, Ugrok ne leader ki taraf daur laga di.
Leader ki aankhein phail gayin jab us ne mehsoos kiya ke Ugrok ki aura use daba dene wali hai.
“Fire Magic — Sea of Fire!”
SWOOSH!!
Zameen aik dum aag mein ghiri.
Darakhtey jal uthay…
lekin Ugrok ki raftaar par koi asar nahi hua.
Us ka jism dark-yellow Force ke barrier mein dhaka hua tha jo aag ko roak raha tha.
“Kya?!”
Leader haraas ho kar cheekh pada aur side par chalang laga di.
CRACK!!
Ugrok ne pagalpan se club ghumaya.
Kai darakht toot kar gir gaye. Is waar ki taqat itni zyada thi ke Rank Five Awakened bhi isay halke mein nahi le sakta tha.
Jab Ugrok leader se larr raha tha, Suraj chup chaap side ki taraf nikal gaya.
Woh un zakhmi aadmiyon ke paas gaya jo pehle Ugrok ke hamlay mein gir chuke thay.
Suraj ke dil mein koi reham nahi tha.
Jo log kuch dair pehle use qatal karna chahte thay, un ke liye koi rehm nahi.
Dabba khol kar us ne daggers nikaalay.
Ek ek kar ke…
Us ne sab ko khatam kar diya.
Koi bhi zinda nahi bacha.
BOOM!!
Achanak leader hawa mein urta hua Suraj ke paas se guzra aur zor se darakht se takra gaya.
Ugrok ka waar laga tha.
Ugrok ka jism aag mein jal raha tha.
Dark-yellow barrier toot chuka tha — aakhir Rank Five Awakened ke spells mazaaq nahi hotay.
Lekin ajeeb baat yeh thi…
Ugrok ko koi nuqsaan nahi hua tha.
Leader mushkil se uthha.
Us ka jism neelay daaghoon aur khoon se bhara hua tha.
ROAR!!
Ugrok ne phir se garaj kar roar kiya.
Hawa kaanp uthi.
BOOM!!
Us roar se ek khofnaak soundwave nikli.
Qareeb ke tamam darakht zameen se lag gaye.
Leader ne apne aag se bane baazu samne la kar guard li, phir bhi woh peeche dhakel diya gaya.
Jaise hi soundwave khatam hui, leader ne Ugrok ke jism mein tabdeeli mehsoos ki.
Ugrok ki laal skin se intehai tez garmi nikal rahi thi.
Us ki aankh se aansu behne lage…
lekin garmi ki wajah se foran bhap ban kar ghayab ho gaye.
Agar Sikandar yahan hota, to woh foran pehchan jata.
Yeh Ugrok ka aakhri aur sab se taqatwar attack tha — wohi skill jo kabhi Sikandar ko bhi zakhmi kar chuki thi.
Ugrok ki taqat har second barh rahi thi.
Leader ka chehra safed par gaya.
Us ne aik pal bhi zaya nahi kiya… aur bhaag nikla.
Suraj us ke peeche bhagna chahta tha, lekin leader bohat tez tha.
‘Laanat… woh bhaag gaya. Baad mein wapas aayega…’
Suraj ne daant peeste hue socha.
Woh jaanta tha ke use leader ko marna chahiye tha — lekin woh itna taqatwar nahi tha.
Agar Cyclops na hota… to aaj Suraj zinda na hota.
‘Yeh log zaroor Platchi ki taraf se thay… Sikandar ko phansane ke liye mujhe bait banana chahte thay,’
Suraj ne socha.
Tabhi us ke peeche se bhaari qadamoon ki awaaz aayi.
Thud… Thud…
Ugrok Suraj ke paas aakar ruk gaya.
Us ka bara jism Suraj ki nazar ko poori tarah dhak raha tha.
Ugrok ne neeche dekha.
Suraj paseene mein naha gaya.
Ugrok ne use sunghta hua kaha,
“Ugrok ko lagta hai… tumhari khushboo pehchani si hai.”
Suraj foran bola,
“Mujhe Sikandar ne bheja hai. Mujhe yeh bag us raaz wali jagah mein rakhna hai… us gaddhay ke andar.”
Us ne hollow hole ki taraf ishara kiya.
Ugrok ne isharay se Suraj ko follow karne ko kaha.
Har qadam par zameen kaanp uthti.
Ugrok pehle se zyada taqatwar lag raha tha.
Shayad… agar Sikandar werewolf na banta, to Ugrok use bhi hara deta.
Suraj ne haath hole ke andar dala.
Usay mehsoos hua jaise haath kahin aur teleport ho raha ho.
Andar thand zyada thi… aur jagah bilkul mukhtalif mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Yaqeen hone ke baad, Suraj khud bhi andar chala gaya.
Andar ka manzar pehle jaisa tha… lekin is dafa khaali.
Sirf Ugrok aag ke paas baitha tha… aur aik aur wajood tha.
“Woohoo!!”
Aik laal skin ka 1 chota sah bacha— mushkil se aik saal ka — idhar udhar bhaag raha tha.
Us ki raftaar hairan kun thi.
“Dyrmir, idhar aa kar khana khao,”
Ugrok ne kaha.
Khane ka naam sunte hi Dyrmir pal bhar mein aa kar baith gaya.
Suraj ne gaur se dekha.
Dyrmir ke paas lightning power thi.
Aur… us ki do aankhein thi.
“Yeh… aap ka beta hai?”
Suraj ne hichkichate hue poocha.
“Dyrmir, Ugrok ka beta hai.
Woh half-human hai,”
Ugrok ne jawab diya.
Suraj ne sar hila diya.
Ab sab samajh aa gaya.
Ugrok ne poocha,
“Bag mein kya hai?”
Suraj ne bag uthha kar kaha,
“Sikandar ne kaha hai yahan rakhna. Kholna mat… warna woh ghussa ho jaye ga.”
Ugrok ne bag hut ke andar rakh diya.
“Tumhara naam?”
Ugrok ne poocha.
“Suraj.
Sikandar ka sab se qareebi dost,”
us ne jawab diya.
Suraj aag ke paas baith gaya aur bola,
“Jab tak sab theek nahi hota… main yahin rukoon ga.”
Aag ki lapton mein dekhte hue, us ke zehan mein sirf ek baat thi—
Yeh jung abhi khatam nahi hui.
.

.

Meanwhile…
Duncan hamesha ki tarah apne office mein baitha tha ke achanak uska phone baj utha. Usne sust andaaz mein phone uthaya aur kaan se laga liya.
“Kaun hai?” usne uktaye hue lehje mein kaha.
Dusri taraf se ek ghabraayi hui awaaz aayi,
“President! Ek bohat buri situation ho gayi hai!”
Duncan seedha ho kar baith gaya.
“Spellbooks! Wo… wo hamari inventory se gayab ho chuki hain! Koi unhein chura kar le gaya hai!”
Yeh sunte hi Duncan apni kursi se uth khara hua.
“WHAT?! Ye kaise ho sakta hai?! Tum logon se ye kaise hone diya?!”
“A-alarm baja tha sir, hamare aadmi foran pohanch gaye thay… lekin jab tak wo wahan pohanchay, box pehle hi gayab ho chuka tha.”
Duncan ki ungliyan kaanp rahi thin jab usne agla sawaal kiya,
“Kya kuch bhi mila? Koi clue? Koi lead?!”
“Sir… unhon ne teen log dekhe thay. Safaid kapron mein, aur unki gardanon mein laal scarves thay. Alarm bajne ke foran baad ek aadmi ne unhein dekha.”
Duncan ne ghusse mein phone zameen par patak diya aur call khatam kar di.
Wo wapas kursi par baith gaya, gehri soch mein doobta hua.
“Teen log safed kapron mein… akhir ye kaun ho sakte hain?”
Kuch dair sochne ke baad usne na-chahte hue ek aur number dial kiya.
“Behtar hai khud bata doon… warna agar unhein khud pata chal gaya to anjaam aur bura hoga.”
Kuch rings ke baad call uthai gayi.
“Sir… mujhe afsos hai ke disturb kar raha hoon, lekin Spellbooks chori ho chuki hain. Teen afraad thay, safed libaas aur laal scarves ke sath,” Duncan ne khauf chupate hue kaha.
Uske maathe par paseena tha.
Dusri taraf se sakht ghussa sunayi diya. Gaaliyan, dhamkiyan… lekin Duncan hairaan reh gaya jab usay koi saza nahi mili.
Akhir mein sirf itna kaha gaya,
“Ab kuch nahi ho sakta. Unhein dhoondho… lekin yaad rakhna, ye bohat khatarnak hoga.”
Call khatam hui.
Duncan ne gehri saans li.
“Lagta hai higher-rank families phir se harkat mein aa chuki hain… aur chor koi aam banda nahi ho sakta.”
.
.
.
Sikandar aur Adhara iss waqt gaari mein thay, shehar ki sarkon par tezi se aagay barh rahe thay. Dono formal kapron mein thay — lagta tha kisi khaas jagah ja rahe hon.
“Adhara,” Sikandar ne awaaz di.
Adhara khidki se bahar manzar dekh rahi thi. Usne halka sa sar mod kar kaha,
“Hmm?”
“Tum jaanti ho na… hum ek dusre se sab kuch share kar sakte hain?” Sikandar ne narmi se kaha.
Adhara ne nazar chura li.
“…”
“To phir batao… tum Faraday University shift hone se kyun inkaar kar rahi ho? Mujhe sach bata sakti ho,” Sikandar ne poocha.
Kuch lamhon tak khamoshi rahi. Adhara ne hont daanton mein daba liye.
Aakhir usne dheemi awaaz mein kaha,
“Unhon ne kaha hai… agar main yahan ruki rahi, to wo mere Dad ka kata hua haath wapas uga denge. Main unse kabhi kabhi nafrat karti hoon… lekin phir bhi… main chahti hoon ke wo pehle jaise ho jaayen.”
Sikandar ki bhonhein sikud gayin.
“Is liye…”
Usne dil mein system se poocha,
“System, kya koi item hai jo aik normal insaan ka haath restore kar sakay?”
<System: Haan. Body Restoring Pill aik normal insaan ka haath wapas la sakti hai.
Qeemat: 5,000 gold>
Sikandar hairaan hua, lekin mutmain bhi.
“Mehngi hai… lekin na-mumkin nahi.”
Wo Adhara ki taraf dekhta hua bola,
“Tum mere sath Faraday University chalo. Main khud tumhare Dad ka haath theek kar dunga.”
Adhara ne shock se Sikandar ko dekha.
“T-tum ye kar sakte ho?!”
“Bas mujh par bharosa rakho,” Sikandar ne halka sa muskura kar kaha.
Usne pyaar se Adhara ke sar par haath rakha.
Ye chhota sa ishara Adhara ke dil tak utar gaya. Uske gaal halkay se surkh ho gaye aur usne nazar jhuka li.
Uske seene mein ajeeb si garmi mehsoos hui — jaise wo kisi ke liye waqai ahmiyat rakhti ho.
Wo phir Sikandar ko dekhne lagi, lekin iss dafa uski aankhon mein ek naya yaqeen tha.
“Shayad… main waqai us par bharosa kar sakti hoon.”
_ _ _ _
Internet par maujood har mumkin maloomat hasil karne ke baad, Sikandar aur Adhara library se bahar nikal aaye.
Faraday University ke principal ne unhein aik favor dene par razamandi zahir ki thi.
Sikandar ko umeed thi ke principal kuch waqt baad phone ya message ke zariye jawab dein ge, lekin uski umeed ke bilkul bar’aks, principal ne achanak khud unhein face-to-face meeting ke liye bula liya, aur yeh bhi bataya ke unhein jawab pehle hi mil chuka hai.
Yeh baat Sikandar aur Adhara dono ke liye hairat angez thi.
Itni gehri aur purani maloomat itni aasani se mil jana… yeh normal baat nahi thi.
Aakhirkaar, Sikandar aur principal ke darmiyan yeh tay hua ke woh Ochyra University ke qareeb maujood aik six-star hotel restaurant mein milenge — Amethyst Hotel, jo awam aur khaas dono mein bohot mashhoor tha.
Amethyst Hotel sirf aam logon ke liye nahi, Awakened logon ke liye bhi mukammal facilities rakhta tha. Yeh hotel celebrities aur elite Awakened ko accommodate karne ke liye jana jata tha, apni high-end services aur shandaar security ki wajah se.
Mukhtasir yeh ke, Amethyst Hotel is sector ka aik legendary hotel tha.
Sikandar aur Adhara hotel pohanchte hain, gaari se utarne se pehle apne kapron ko theek karte hain, phir gaari se bahar nikalte hain.
Sikandar ne black tuxedo pehna hua tha — woh tuxedo jo Adhara ne kuch ghantay pehle zabardasti kharidwaya tha is meeting ke liye.
Tuxedo uske jism par bilkul fit baith raha tha, uski muscular posture ko aur bhi numaya kar raha tha.
Us par lagayi hui mehngi cologne uski mardana personality ko aur gehra bana rahi thi.
Adhara, doosri taraf, O-neck red dress mein thi jo dekhne walon ki nazar ko khud ba khud apni taraf kheench rahi thi.
Dress uski lambi, patli tangon ka halka sa ishara deti thi, aur red high heels uski height ko Sikandar ke barabar la rahi thi.
Uske baal neatly bun mein bandhay hue thay, uski safed aur mulayam gardan bilkul numaya thi, jo uski khoobsurti ko aur barha rahi thi.
Usne natural makeup kiya hua tha, jab ke gehri laal lipstick uske dress ke saath kamal ka contrast paida kar rahi thi.
Jaise hi woh gaari se bahar nikli…
kai nazrein us par tik gayin.
Sikandar ne aik nazar idhar-udhar dekhi, phir Adhara ki kamar par haath rakha aur dono hotel ke entrance ki taraf chal diye.
Hotel ke bahar mehngi aur luxury gaariyon ki lambi line lagi hui thi, aur andar aane walay log bhi kamyab aur powerful lag rahe thay — chahe woh Awakened hon ya normal.
Reception par pohanch kar Sikandar ne kaha:
“Excuse me, main Vargas Pierce ke naam se book ki gayi room ke liye aaya hoon.”
Principal ne pehle hi Sikandar ko message kar ke room booking ka naam bhej diya tha.
Sikandar nahi jaanta tha ke Vargas kaun hai, lekin woh sirf principal ki hidayat follow kar raha tha.
Jaise hi receptionist ne yeh naam suna…
Uska rawaiya turant badal gaya.
Woh foran jhuk kar salaam karta hai aur Sikandar aur Adhara ko khud guide karne lagta hai.
Hotel ka interior white, grey aur black rangon se bhara hua tha — classy aur elite.
Grey marble floor, safed deewarein aur unique soft lighting poori jagah ko bohot hi pur-sukoon bana rahi thi.
Receptionist unhein restaurant section se guzarta hua second floor par aik khaas room tak le jata hai.
Pool ke paas se guzar kar, woh aik bohot bari aur bhaari darwaze ke samne rukta hai.
Darwaza khulta hai…
Aur waqai woh aik hall hota hai.
Hall ke beech mein aik lambi dining table rakhi hoti hai, aur us par do log maujood hotay hain.
Sikandar ne foran pehchan liya —
Principal aur uske saath khara aik aur aadmi.
Jaise hi Sikandar aur Adhara andar dakhil hotay hain, dono log kharay ho jatay hain.
Receptionist adab se darwaza band kar deta hai.
“Ah… Sikandar Silverstar, welcome,” principal muskurate hue kehta hai aur haath aagay barhata hai.
Sikandar bhi haath barhata hai, dono haath milate hain.
Phir Sikandar poochta hai:
“Agar bura na manayen… kya Vargas Pierce aap ka naam hai?”
Yeh sun kar principal halka sa hans deta hai.
“Ab jab tum ne poocha hai, toh haan… main ne apna naam pehle kabhi bataya hi nahi,”
“Ji haan, mera naam Vargas Pierce hai.”
Phir Vargas ki nazar Sikandar ke saath khari khoobsurat aurat par padti hai.
Adhara aisi lag rahi thi jaise har mard ki nazar ko majbooran apni taraf kheench le — chahe woh kitna hi experienced ya umar-rasida kyun na ho.
“Toh yeh woh larki hai jiska tum zikar karte rehte ho… Adhara Alpenore,”
Vargas kehta hai aur Adhara ki taraf barhta hai.
Woh adab se Adhara ka haath pakar kar halka sa bosa deta hai.
“Greeting, Ms. Adhara. Mera naam Vargas Pierce hai… aur main tumhara future principal bhi hoon.”
Adhara ne sar jhukaya aur narmi se muskurate hue jawab diya:
“Aapse mil kar khushi hui, Sir Vargas.”
Mukhtasir ta’aruf ke baad, waiter hall mein dakhil hota hai aur khana serve karta hai.
Potted crabs aur salmon ki plates un teeno ke samne rakh di jati hain.
Khane ki khushboo foran hawa mein phail jati hai.
“Business shuru karne se pehle,” Vargas kehta hai,
“kyun na hum thori dair khane ka lutf uthayein?”
Sikandar aur Adhara aik dosray ki taraf aik choti si nazar daalte hain, phir khana shuru kar dete hain.
Unhein jaldi thi…
Lekin Vargas ko jaldi nahi karwai ja sakti thi.
Aakhirkaar, woh un par ehsaan kar raha tha.
Is dauran, Vargas ke saath khara aadmi aik pal ke liye bhi nahi hila.
Uska chehra bilkul be-ta’assur tha — jaise aik machine.
Na awaaz, na harkat, na tawajjo.
Kuch bhi ho raha ho, woh bilkul mutasir nahi lagta tha.
Sikandar us par chori chhupi nazrein dalta hai.
Vargas yeh notice kar leta hai aur halki si muskurahat ke saath kehta hai:
“Fikar mat karo, yeh mera assistant hai.”
“Aur agar tum soch rahe ho ke yeh khane mein shamil kyun nahi… toh wajah yeh hai ke yeh abhi duty par hai.”
Vargas halki si hanssi ke saath yeh baat kehta hai.
Yeh sun kar Sikandar bhi adab se muskurata hai.
.
.
.
.
Jab teeno log khana kha rahe thay,
Karan khidki ke paas baitha khamoshi mein soch raha tha. Uske dil par abhi tak apni ghalti ka bojh tha. Us raat jo kuch bhi hua, uski zimmedari ka ehsaas usay andar se kha raha tha. Wo kisi hal tak pohanchna chahta tha, kisi aise raaste tak jo us museebat ko suljha sake jo usne khud paida ki thi.
Raat ki thandi hawa uske chehre ko chhoo rahi thi, aur uski aankhein halki si chamak rahi theen.
Usne aik kaghaz uthaya aur likhna shuru kiya—us raat ki har choti bari baat. Jo kuch usne mehsoos kiya, jo dekha, jo suna… aik aik lamha. Kaghaz dheere dheere alfaaz se bharne laga.
Karan ne apni nazar se us raat ke tamam waqiaat likhe—Fatman ka kidnap hona, factory ke andar ka waqia, aur woh sab kuch jo usne apni aankhon se dekha.
Usne kabhi Sikandar ko gusse mein nahi dekha tha. Uski nazar mein Sikandar hamesha pur-sukoon, hamesha control mein rehta tha.
Sikandar ka har qadam itna bharosa aur yaqeen rakhta tha jaise har cheez uske haath mein ho. Magar aaj… aaj uske jazbaat phoot pare thay.
Iska sirf aik matlab tha—masla is dafa bohat zyada gehra tha.
Isi liye Karan uski madad karna chahta tha, chahe uski madad kitni hi choti kyun na ho. Use nahi pata tha ke wo Sikandar ke liye ye sab kar raha hai ya apne dil ke bojh ko halka karne ke liye.
Magar jo bhi tha, isi ehsaas ne Karan ko majboor kiya ke wo Sikandar ki madad kare.
Isi dauran, doosre kamray mein Ryze zameen par simat kar leta hua tha.
Agar koi ghour se dekhta, to uski band aankhon se aansoo behte nazar aate. Wo khamoshi se ro raha tha… akela.
.
.
.
Wapas Amethyst Hotel mein,
“Adhara bhi Rank Four Awakened hai, is liye wo Faraday University ki taqat mein izafa karegi. Aur wo Kevin ke khilaaf jeet bhi sakti hai,” Sikandar ne fakhr se kaha.
Yeh sun kar Vargas ki aankhein chamak utheen.
Wo pur-josh nazron se Adhara ko dekh kar bola,
“Kya tum apna element dikha sakti ho?”
Sikandar ke sar hila kar ishara dene par, Adhara ne apni mana jama ki aur apni hatheli par markooz ki.
Agle hi lamhay, purple fir uski hatheli par bharrak uthi aur poora mahaul purple roshni se chamak utha.
Yeh dekh kar Vargas kursi par peechay jhuk gaya, uski nazar sirf us aag par jami hui thi.
Sikandar sirf uske chehre se hi andaza laga sakta tha ke Vargas kitna hairaan ho chuka hai.
“La-jawab… yeh Purple fire waqai aik Peak Great Element hai,” Vargas ne hairani se kaha.
Wo gehri saans le kar Purple fire ko dekhta raha, jaise wo aag kisi khoobsurat aurat ki tarah uske samne raqs kar rahi ho.
Adhara ne phir aag ko khatam kiya aur seedhi ho kar wapas baith gayi.
“Tum dono ke hamari university join karne se hamara rank yaqeenan bohat upar chala jaye ga,” Vargas hans kar bola.
Uske chehre ki halki jhurriyan bhi uski khushi chhupa nahi pa rahi theen—wo waqai jawan sa lagne laga tha.
Adhara ne koi jawab nahi diya. Usne pehle hi Faraday University join karne ka faisla kar liya tha.
Sikandar ne usse wada kiya tha ke wo uske Dad ka kata hua bazoo wapas lauta dega—aur Adhara ke liye yeh wada kaafi tha.
Kuch dair baad,
Sikandar aur Adhara ne starter khatam kar liya. Khana la-jawab tha, lekin wo sirf khanay ke liye yahan nahi aaye thay.
“Principal, maazrat ke sath… kya hum khanay ke dauran Shane Thompson ke baare mein baat kar sakte hain?” Sikandar ne poocha.
Yeh sun kar Vargas ne khana chhor diya aur kone mein kharay waiter ko ishara kiya ke wo kamra chhor de.
Waiter ke jaate hi, Vargas ne aik bhuri file nikali.
Usne file table par rakh kar Sikandar ki taraf sarka di.
“Shane Thompson ke baare mein har zaroori cheez is report mein hai—uski paidaish, uska record, uske connections, hatta ke uski maujooda rehaish bhi,” Vargas ne wazeh kiya.
Sikandar ne foran file kholi—sab kuch waqai andar maujood tha. Phir usne system se scan karwaya, taake koi cheez miss na ho.
Usne file Adhara ko de di, jisne use apne bag mein rakh liya.
Sikandar ne mehsoos kiya ke Adhara ki harkatein sakht aur saans be-qaabu si hain.
‘Ye ghabra rahi hai… isay aadat dalni hogi,’ usne socha.
Sikandar shukriya ada karne hi wala tha ke—
“Sikandar… kya tum kisi mushkil mein ho?” Vargas ne beech mein hi pooch liya.
Sikandar aik lamhay ke liye sakta mein aa gaya.
Un dono ke darmiyan sakht eye contact ho gaya. Itna gehra ke Adhara ne bhi ghoont liya.
Yeh Sikandar ki aadat thi—jab wo sochta tha, wo saamne walay ki aankhon mein seedha dekhta tha.
Kuch lamhon baad, Sikandar ne kaha,
“Sab kuch mere control mein hai.”
Vargas ne aankhein sikor kar use dekha.
“Mujhe tumhari aankhein pasand hain… bilkul meri jawani jaisi. Be-khof aur be-larzah,” Vargas bola.
Phir uski awaaz halki ho gayi,
“Magar wahi ghalti mat karna jo maine ki… main ne isi zid ki wajah se apni beti kho di.”
Wo nazar hata kar peeche ho gaya.
Mahol udaas hone hi wala tha ke—
“Lekin mujhe yaqeen hai tum sahi faislay karoge. Mujh se madad mang kar tumne theek kiya,” Vargas ne kaha.
Achanak uska assistant aaya aur uske kaan mein kuch kaha.
Vargas ne Sikandar ki taraf dekha,
“Tum dono ke sath khana khana acha laga, lekin mujhe jana hoga. Baqi ka khana enjoy karo.”
Itna keh kar Vargas aur uska assistant wahan se chalay gaye.
Unke jaate hi Adhara seedha kursi par dhair ho gayi.
“Tension khatam ho gayi,” usne gehri saans le kar kaha.
“Adhara , kya tumhein unmein koi malicious intent mehsoos hui?” Sikandar ne poocha.
Adhara emotional aura dekh sakti thi—isi liye Sikandar use har aisi meeting mein sath rakhta tha.
“Uski beti ka zikar karte waqt uske andar gham tha… lekin mujhe koi dushmani mehsoos nahi hui,” Adhara ne jawab diya.
Sikandar ne sar hila diya.
Usne Vargas ka intekhab is liye kiya tha kyun ke agar wo dono mar gaye, to Vargas ka bhi nuqsaan hota.
Yeh aik win-win deal thi.
Jab Sikandar aur Adhara uth kar jaane lage,
“Hm?” Sikandar ke chehre par ghera pan aa gaya.
Usne achanak teen bohat taqatwar auras mehsoos kiye.
Wo Adhara ko kheench kar khidki ki taraf le gaya, lekin jaisay hi wo koodne wala tha—hawa ka aik barrier saamne aa gaya.
Wo zor se peeche dhakel diya gaya.
‘Humein phansa liya gaya hai,’ Sikandar ne socha.
“Sikandar Silverstar… humein lagta hai ke tumhare paas koi cheez hai jo asal mein hamari hai,” aik aurat ki awaaz kamray mein goonj uthi.
Sikandar ne peeche mudh kar dekha—teen log wahan kharay thay.
Usne foran unhein scan kiya… aur usi lamhay bhag jane ka khayal chhor diya.
‘Is se bhagna mumkin nahi,’ Sikandar ne dil mein kaha.
_ _ _ _
Sikandar ke saamne jo log safed uniforms pehne kharay thay, woh aam log bilkul bhi nahi thay. Woh sab intehai taqatwar Awakened thay—khaaskar woh aurat jo unke group ki leader lag rahi thi.
Sikandar ne pehle hi teeno ko scan kar liya tha, aur jo nateeja nikla us ne usay andar se hila diya.
Aurat ke dono sides par kharay mard Peak Rank Five Awakened thay, aur dono Wind Elementalist—bilkul us aurat ki tarah.
Lekin asal masla woh aurat khud thi.
Woh Early Rank Six Awakened thi.
Sikandar ne pehle bhi us se zyada taqatwar Awakened dekhe thay, jaise Vargas, lekin us ne kabhi kisi Rank Six Awakened ko larte hue nahi dekha tha.
Usay yeh bhi nahi pata tha ke koi Awakened rank six tak pohanchta kaise hai.
“Yeh bura hai… yeh log humein pakar chukay hain,” Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Usay poora yaqeen tha ke yeh wahi group hai jo un Spellbooks se ta’alluq rakhta hai jo Karan ne churaayi thin. Andaza lagana mushkil nahi tha—teeno Wind Elementalist thay.
Bilkul seedhi shakal ke saath, Sikandar ne Adhara ka haath pakra aur dining table ki taraf chal diya.
Uske dimaagh mein sirf ek hi sawal ghoom raha tha:
Yeh itni jaldi hum tak kaise pohanch gaye?
Sikandar ne pehle Adhara ke liye kursi kheench kar rakhi, phir khud uske paas baith gaya. Phir us ne haath ke ishaaray se us aurat ko apne saamne baithne ka ishara kiya.
“Please,” Sikandar ne pur-sukoon awaaz mein kaha.
Sikandar ke be-parwah rawaiye ko dekh kar aurat ki bhonhein sikur gayin, lekin phir bhi woh uske saamne aa kar baith gayi.
Jaise hi woh baithi, hawa ke saath us aurat ki lakri aur jangli darakhton jaisi khushboo Sikandar ki naak tak pohanchi.
Us khushboo ne Sikandar ke zehan mein koi purani yaad jaga di.
Aurat ne baithte hi dobara kaha,
“Main samajhti hoon tumhare paas woh cheez hai jo humari hai, Sikandar Silverstar.”
“Kaunsi cheez?” Sikandar ne bilkul thanday lehje mein jawab diya.
Usne pehle hi shop se ek Transferral Crystal khareed rakha tha.
Abhi baat chal hi rahi thi ke ek waiter khana le kar andar aa gaya.
Jaise hi us ne kamray ke andar teen ajnabi log dekhe, woh sakta mein aa gaya. Kamra pehle hi booked tha. Woh turant bahar ja kar manager ko bulana chahta tha, lekin darwaza kholne se pehle hi—
Fwoosh!
Aurat ke saath kharay dono mardon mein se ek pal bhar mein uske paas pohanch gaya aur darwazay ke saamne aa khara hua.
Waiter ka chehra khauf se safed ho gaya.
Woh mard shaitani muskurahat ke saath usay ghoorne laga, lekin Sikandar ne haath ke ishare se waiter ko kaha ke khana table par rakh do.
Kamray mein tanav barhta ja raha tha jab waiter kaanpte haathon se plates table par rakhne laga.
Khana rakhne ke baad, Sikandar ne ishara kiya ke waiter uske paas aa kar khara ho jaye.
Waiter ne foran hukm maana. Woh sar jhukaaye, poora kaanpta hua khara tha.
Sikandar ne steak ka ek tukra kaata aur pur-sukoon andaaz mein dobara kaha,
“Kaunsi cheez? Jane Atkins.”
Internet par ki gayi research ke zariye, Sikandar ne har mashkook family ke main members ka record nikaal liya tha.
Aur usne is aurat ko pehchan liya tha—Jane, Atkins Family ki direct descendant.
Uske baal gehre hare rang ke thay, bilkul darakhton ke patton jaise—jo Atkins family ki mashhoor pehchaan thi.
Woh Ninth Rank Family thi—behad taqatwar.
Jane ne yeh sun kar meethi si hansi hansi.
Phir uski thandi, cheer dene wali nazar Sikandar par tik gayi.
“Games mat khelo. Batao, tum ne humari Spellbooks kahan chhupaayi hain?”
Sikandar ne steak ka ek tukra munh mein daala, jaise koi khatra ho hi na.
Woh chabate hue hairat se bola,
“Kya lazeez steak hai… tumhein bhi pasand aayi?”
Adhara ka chehra zard par gaya. Usay Sikandar ki soch bilkul samajh nahi aa rahi thi.
Jane ka chehra sakhht ho gaya. Uske saathi zubaan se tsk ki awaaz nikaalne lage.
“Main aakhri baar pooch rahi hoon,” Jane ne ghurrate hue kaha,
“Spellbooks kahan hain?!”
Sikandar ne seedhi nazar Jane se milayi.
“Tum log bina chehra chhupaaye yahan ghus aaye ho… kya tumhein expose hone ka darr nahi?”
Jane ne fakhar se kaha,
“Tum jaise bachay se? Main tumhein ungli ghumaa kar maar sakti hoon.”
Sikandar ne halki si hansi ke saath sar hilaaya.
“Hairat hai… itni badi family ki waris itni bewaqoof bhi ho sakti hai.”
Yeh sunte hi Jane ka gussa phat para.
Us ne table ka kinaara pakra aur poori taqat se deewar ki taraf phenk diya—
BAM!!
Table deewar se takra kar tukron mein toot gaya.
Adhara cheekh uthi.
Lekin Sikandar…
Uske chehre par zara si bhi tabdeeli nahi aayi.
Jane uth khari hui.
“Hum doosri dimension ki family se hain. Tum bachon ne bohat ghalat cheez se khelna shuru kar diya hai.”
Uske peeche hawa mein ek ajeeb si taqat jama hone lagi.
Sikandar ne ghour se dekha—
Yeh sirf aura nahi thi.
Yeh kisi zinda cheez ki energy lag rahi thi… jaise Jane ke andar koi aur makhlooq rehti ho.
Woh energy dheere dheere ek hawa se bana hue shetani parinday ki shakal ikhtiyar kar gayi.
Woh parinda ghurrata hua Sikandar ke saamne numaya hua, jaise woh laakhon laashon ke upar khara ho.
Sikandar bhi apni kursi se uth khara hua—bilkul pur-sukoon.
Jane ne dhamki dete hue kaha,
“Agar tum ne Spellbooks ka nahi bataya, to main tumhari choti si team aur tumhare gird sab ko aisi duniya dikhaungi jise woh kabhi samajh bhi nahi paayenge.”
Parinday ki taqat se poora kamra dabne laga.
Adhara zameen par gir gayi. Jis kursi par woh baithi thi, woh toot gayi aur woh pressure ke neeche dab gayi.
Saari taqat ka markaz Sikandar tha.
Jane ki aankhon mein hairani aa gayi—
Sikandar ghutnon par nahi gira.
Uska chehra bilkul normal tha.
“Andar se mushkil hai… lekin mumkin,” Sikandar ne socha.
Usne system se poocha:
“Yeh parinda… kya yahi cheez hai jo Rank Six banati hai?”
<System: Haan. Rank Six tak pohanchne ke liye Awakened ko kisi Spirit ke saath assimilate hona parta hai. Spirit ke saath merge hone ke baad, Awakened aisi taqat unlock karta hai jo uske tasawwur se bahar hoti hai.>
Sikandar ne dobara poocha:
“Yeh parinda aur jo Fire Serpent mujhe quest se milega… kaunsa zyada taqatwar hai?”
<System: Fire Serpent paanch hazaar saal purani Spirit hai. Tumhare saamne jo parinda hai, woh uske muqablay mein sirf ek bachcha hai.>
Yeh parh kar Sikandar muskuraya.
Is mulaqat se usay bohat qeemti maloomat mil chuki thi.
Atkins family ka shukriya… dil hi dil mein.
Ab bas ek hi masla tha—
Zinda yahan se nikalna.
Sikandar ne apne tuxedo ke andar jaib ki taraf haath barhaya…
Magar jaise hi Sikandar ne apne haath hilaaye—
SHRING!!
Bijli ki tarah chamakte hue do talwaarain seedha Sikandar ke gale par aa kar ruk gayin. Jane ke dono side kharay aadmi ek pal mein move hue aur apni talwaarain uski gardan se laga dein.
Sikandar aik lamhay ke liye bilkul sakht ho gaya.
Phir dheere se usne apni jaib se mobile nikala.
Usne screen par aik tasveer kholi—ek dabba jisme spellbooks maujood the—aur mobile aage karte hue kaha,
“Jo cheez tum dhoond rahi ho… woh mere paas hai. Tumhari teen spellbooks mere haath mein hain.”
Jane ki nazar pehle tasveer par gayi, phir seedha Sikandar par tik gayi.
Sikandar ne pur-sukoon lehje mein kaha,
“Mere aadmiyon ne yeh spellbooks ghalti se utha li theen. Humara chori ka koi irada nahi tha.”
Jane ki aankhon mein sakhti aa gayi.
“Toh phir wapas karo!”
Uske chehray par aik khelti hui muskurahat thi.
Sikandar ne halki si mockery ke sath muskura kar jawab diya,
“Badqismati se main itna naive nahi hoon. Agar main yeh wapas kar doon, toh tum mujhe zinda chhor do gi? Ya yahin maar daalo gi?”
Jane ne thanday lehje mein kaha,
“Main tumhein abhi maar kar tumhare accomplices ka pata laga sakti hoon.”
Usne haath ka ishara kiya—qatl ka hukm.
Magar Sikandar foran bola,
“Agar main mara, toh mera aik accomplice yeh teen spellbooks seedha Reed Family ko de dega. Aur doosra UWO ko inform karega.”
Uski aankhon mein chamak thi.
“Shane Thompson ne yeh books banayi hain… iska matlab yeh unlicensed hain, sahi kaha na?”
Jane ki aankhein hairat se phail gayin.
Usse yaqeen nahi aa raha tha ke aik student itni gehri soch rakh sakta hai.
Library mein research ke dauraan Sikandar ne sirf families hi nahi dekhi theen—balkay spellbooks ke peeche ka poora game samajh liya tha.
Uska andaza tha ke is sab ke peeche Atkins, Reed aur Granlor families ka haath hai.
Aur un teenon ke darmiyan aik cold war chal rahi hai.
Rankings ke mutabiq, Atkins aur Reed sab se qareeb thay.
Agar yeh spellbooks Atkins ke liye theen aur Sikandar inhein Reed ko de deta—
toh Reed unki position cheen sakta tha.
Yeh spellbooks bohat zyada powerful theen.
Unka asar poore balance ko hila sakta tha.
Yeh sab Sikandar ki theory thi—
magar Jane ke chehray par ubharte hue tension ne yeh sab confirm kar diya.
Aur yeh sirf aik chaal nahi thi.
Internet par research karte hue Sikandar ko UWO ka aik qanoon mila tha:
Har aik 25 top families mein se sirf aik unlicensed spellbook rakh sakti hai.
Baaki har spell officially register honi chahiye—warna sakht saza.
Power balance ko control karne ke liye yeh qanoon banaya gaya tha.
Teen powerful unlicensed spellbooks ka matlab tha—
Atkins Family ki tabahi.
Chaahay unhon ne jang mein kitni hi qurbaniyan kyun na di hon.
Sikandar ne Jane ki hichkichahat dekhi aur dheere se kaha,
“Agar tum pakri gayin… toh Atkins family ka direct descendant 50 saal ke liye jail ja sakta hai.”
Usne halka sa jhuk kar kaha,
“Top 10 family hone ki wajah se saza aadhi ho jaaye gi… connections laga kar bhi kam az kam 10 saal.”
Phir muskuraya.
“Itna waqt Reed aur Granlor ke liye kaafi hai… tumhein peeche chhorne ke liye, hai na?”
Jane ka jism gusse se kaanp utha.
Sikandar ka chehra bilkul sakoon mein tha—
aur yehi baat Jane ko aur zyada jala rahi thi.
“Chaaho toh check kar lo,” Sikandar ne kaha.
“Aaj main tumhare rehm o karam par hoon.”
Dono swordsman Jane ki taraf dekhnay lage—
hukm ka intezar.
Magar hukm nahi aaya.
Jane ne jabr se daant pees kar ishara kiya.
“Talwaarain hatao.”
Dono aadmi peeche hat gaye.
Adhara bhi sambhal kar khari ho gayi.
Uski aankhon mein hairani thi—
aise halat mein itna calm rehna… yeh aam baat nahi thi.
Agar woh Sikandar ki jagah hoti—
shayad zinda bhi na rehti.
Sikandar aur Jane aik doosray ko ghoortay rahe.
Tension phir barh gayi.
Magar is dafa—
upper hand Sikandar ke paas thi.
Sikandar ne apna tuxedo seedha kiya, Adhara ko dekha ke woh theek hai ya nahi, phir kaha,
“Tum se baat karna bekaar hai. Mere terms sirf aik hi sun sakta hai.”
Jane ne uljhan se poocha,
“Kaun?”
Sikandar ne seedha kaha,
“Main boss se baat karna chahta hoon.”
Jane ka dil dhak se reh gaya.
“Yeh larka… mere Dad se baat karna chahta hai?”
Sikandar ne Adhara ka haath pakra aur dono aage barh gaye.
Jane ke paas ruk kar Sikandar ne dheemi magar sakht awaaz mein kaha,
“Boss se mera matlab… Wesley Atkins hai.”
Phir woh waiter ke paas gaya—
Aur aik pal mein uska sar phat gaya.
Seedhi, painless maut.
“Maaf karna,” Sikandar ne dil mein kaha,
“Ghalat jagah, ghalat waqt.”
Woh pehle hi dekh chuka tha ke Jane ke aadmi waiter ko kis nazar se dekh rahe thay.
Uske baad—
Sikandar aur Adhara hall se nikal gaye.
Aur Jane…
apni jagah par bilkul jam chuki thi.

Yule Moon is coming
Supernatural Territory – Vampire Kingdom
Solomon ke Qila ke Andar
Solomon ke qila ke andar ek azeem-o-shaan hall tha — itna wasi ke hazaron log ek sath kharay ho sakte thay bina kisi ghutan ke.
Is hall ke beech mein be-shumar insaan jama huay thay… sab kaanpte huay, dare huay.
Zyada tar insaan zakhmi nahi thay,
lekin un ke gird kharay vampires ki nazrein un ke liye kisi qatal se kam nahi thi.
Vampires ne insano ko beech mein rakh kar daaira bana liya tha.
Un ki aankhein laal thi, saans bhari hui,
aur un ke halaq se bhook aur junoon bhari growl nikal rahi thi.
Unhein insano ke jism ke andar behtay huay khoon ki har lehar mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Yeh un ke liye ek azeem azaab tha —
jaise bhooke shikari ke samne be-bas shikar ho…
lekin haath bandhay huay hon.
Gusse aur hawas ne unhein pagal kar diya tha.
Hall ke daayein darwaze se
Solomon aur Nezera andar aaye —
un ke par phailay huay, shahi aur khaufnaak.
Solomon ke siyah aur laal par roshni chhor rahe thay,
jaise khud andhera aur khoon un ke ghulam hon.
Jaise hi woh dono hall mein dakhil huay,
vampires ki growling foran khamosh ho gayi.
Sab peeche hat gaye,
rasta banaya gaya.
Solomon ne apni laal aankhon se dono taraf nazar daali.
Insanon ki tadaad dekh kar us ke chehre par halki si muskurahat aa gayi.
“Hmm… meri umeed se zyada hain.”
Nezera ne thandi aur nafrat bhari nazron se insano ko dekha.
“So yeh kaunsa ritual hai jis ka tum zikar kar rahe thay?”
us ne poocha, awaaz mein sakhti thi.
Us ke chehre se saaf zahir tha ke
woh insano ke sath ek hi kamray mein saans lena bhi gawara nahi karti.
Solomon hansa.
“Tum khud dekhogi.”
Solomon ne apne par zor se phailaye
aur hawa mein uth gaya.
Us ne vampires ki taraf dekha —
jin ke jism tanay huay thay,
jaise bas ijazat ka intezar ho.
“Mere logon… shuru karo.”
GROOOOWL!!
Agla lamha qiyamat tha.
Vampires insano par toot paray —
jaise murday par keere par jate hain.
“Aaaahhh!!”
“NAHI! KHUDA KE WASTE, YEH MERA BETA HAI!”
Cheekhon aur faryadon ne poora hall bhar diya.
Yeh qatal-e-aam tha.
Koi bhi insaan Awakened nahi tha.
Aur har vampire kam az kam Rank Five ka tha.
Insanon ke liye koi chance nahi tha.
Nezera ne bhonh charha di.
Us ne Solomon ki taraf dekh kar kaha,
“Yeh toh aam feeding jaisa hi lagta hai. Is mein ritual kya hai?”
Solomon phir hansa —
is dafa aur zyada sharaarti.
“Bas dekhte raho.”
Nezera ko hairani hui,
kyun ke Solomon kam hi aise muskurata tha.
Us ne tawajjo se dekha.
Aur phir…
usey farq nazar aaya.
Har vampire sirf aik martaba har insaan ko kaat raha tha.
Kisi ne bhi dobaara bite nahi kiya.
Jaise koi an-dekha qanoon unhein roak raha ho.
Kuch dair baad,
vampires peeche hat gaye
aur apni jagah par wapas aa gaye.
Un ke daanton se khoon tapak raha tha —
sirf aik chhota sa ghont liya gaya tha.
Yeh un ke liye bilkul na-kaafi tha,
lekin Solomon ki laal nazron ke samne
kisi ki himmat nahi thi.
Insano ki gardanon par do khooni nishan chamak rahe thay.
Dard kam tha…
lekin khauf had se zyada.
“Ritual shuru hota hai.”
Solomon ki aankhein gehri laal ho gayin.
Us ne apne bazu phaila diye.
Agla lamha…
insano ki gardanon se khoon hawa mein uthne laga.
Khoon ke qatre un ke sar ke upar jama ho gaye.
Insaan laachari mein apni gardan dhaknay lage.
Unhein dard nahi ho raha tha —
bas ek ghalat, gandi si feeling mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Solomon ne haath ghumaya.
Khoon ne mil kar
ek azeem surkh rune bana diya —
sainkron ajeeb o ghareeb nishanon se bhara hua.
Poora hall laal roshni mein doob gaya.
Nezera ki saans ruk gayi.
Yeh power…
usay kabhi mehsoos nahi hui thi.
“Ancient…”
us ke zehan mein sirf yehi lafz aaya.
Solomon ne aankhein band kar ke
ajeeb zaban mein chant shuru ki.
Yeh zaban Nezera ne kabhi nahi suni thi.
Yeh qadeem daur ki zaban thi —
jo Solomon ne Nolacula se hasil ki thi,
aur khud apni marzi se is ritual ke liye dhali thi.
Chant khatam hui.
Solomon ki aankhein khul gayin.
BOOOOM!!
Laal shockwaves us ki aankhon se phoot paray
aur seedha insano par ja lage.
“Khoon ke Aaghaz ke naam par…
tum sab meri nasal ke ghulam banoge!”
SWOOOSH!!
Insanon ke jism laal roshni se chamak uthay.
Rune se ancient energy barsi
jo unhein poori tarah gher chuki thi.
Vampires aur Nezera dono
saans lena bhool gaye.
Yeh energy…
bilkul un ke Origin jaisi thi.
Mukaddas.
Pur-sukoon.
Aur khaufnaak.
Kisi ko bolnay ki himmat nahi hui.
Insano ki aankhein laal ho gayin.
Phir…
cheekhain shuru ho gayin.
Jism chatakhne lage.
Haddiyan cheekhne lageen.
Daant lambi ho kar fangs banne lage.
Khoon un ke jism ke har suraakh se behnay laga.
“AAAARGHH!!”
Solomon aur Nezera khamoshi se dekhte rahe.
Un ke liye yeh manzar
khoobsurat tha.
Jaise raat mein
koi qeemti cheez aankhon ko chhed rahi ho.
Kuch dair baad…
cheekhain ruk gayin.
Transformation mukammal ho chuki thi.
Lekin har koi zinda nahi raha.
Teen-chauthai insaan
is azaab ko bardasht nahi kar paaye.
Sirf aik-chauthai bachay.
Jab woh kharay huay…
Toh Solomon aur Nezera ki aankhein
hairat se phail gayin.
Jo cheez un ke samne khari thi…
woh insaan nahi thay.
“Yeh… yeh main kya dekh rahi hoon?”
Nezera ne hairani se kaha.
Solomon ke chehre par ek shetani muskurahat aa gayi jab us ne apni aankhon ke saamne maujood makhlooq ko dekha.
“Kaamyaab ho gaya… kaamyaab ho gaya! Yeh waqai kaam kar gaya! Origin ne humein apni barkat de di hai!”
Hall ke andar maujood tamam zinda bach jane wale insaan poori tarah tabdeel ho chuke thay.
Ab woh insaan nahi rahe thay.
Unki jild laash ki tarah pheeki ho chuki thi, daant chaku ki tarah tez ho gaye thay, aur aankhein khoon jaisi surkh aur be-rahm chamak rahi thi.
Tamam bache hue insaan vampire ban chuke thay.
Unki nazrein idhar udhar bhatak rahi thin, jaise unhein apna guzra hua wajood yaad hi na ho.
Unki insaniyat, unki tabdeeli ke sath hi khatam ho chuki thi.
Sniff… Sniff…
Naye bane hue vampires ki tawajjoh zameen par bikhre hue khoon par ja tikki.
Jo khoon mare hue insano se baha tha, woh unhein apni taraf kheench raha tha.
Unhein ajeeb sa ehsaas ho raha tha… woh khoon jo pehle unhein ghinona lagta tha, ab lazeez nazar aa raha tha.
Unhon ne la-sha’oori taur par nigla.
Unke andar ek na qabil-e-bardasht pyaas paida ho chuki thi.
Tab Solomon ne bhaari aur dabao bhari awaaz mein kaha,
“Tum unka khoon pee sakte ho… jitna chaho, pee sakte ho.”
Phir us ne muskurate hue kaha,
“Khandaan mein khush aamdeed.”
.
.
.
.
Sikandar aur Adhara jaldi jaldi Amethyst Hotel se bahar niklay.
Dono seedha apni gaari ki taraf barhay aur bina waqt zaya kiye wahan se rawana ho gaye.
Gaari chalate hue Sikandar gehri soch mein gum tha jab ke Adhara bilkul khamosh thi.
“Shukar hai main unhein roknay mein kaamyab ho gaya… bas aik ghalat qadam, aur meri maut yaqeeni thi,”
Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Atkins ki achanak zahoor ne usay bilkul be-khabar pakar liya tha.
Abhi tak usay samajh nahi aa raha tha ke Atkins itni aasani se unhein track kaise kar paaye.
Aur sab se ajeeb baat yeh thi ke unhon ne Karan ko dhoondhnay ki bhi koshish nahi ki — jab ke asal chori us ne ki thi.
“Tum kisay call kar rahe ho?”
Adhara ne poocha, jab us ne Sikandar ke chehre par pareshani dekhi.
Sikandar gaari tez chalata hua bola,
“Suraj ko. Humein apni saari kamzoriyon ko mehfooz karna hoga, warna woh phir hamla kar sakte hain.”
Phone kaafi dair tak ring hota raha… magar Suraj ne jawab nahi diya.
“Yeh kahan hai? Call kyun nahi utha raha?”
Sikandar ne socha.
Phir bhi usay zyada fikar nahi thi — woh Suraj ki salahiyat par bharosa karta tha.
Taqreeban aadha ghanta baad, Sikandar apne ghar pohanch gaya.
Woh aur Adhara ghar ke andar gaye aur dekha ke Karan pehle se wahan maujood tha.
Karan ne haath mein aik kagaz pakra hua tha.
“Yeh lo. Main ne us raat jo kuch yaad aa saka, sab likh diya hai.”
Sikandar ne kagaz liya aur ghor se parhna shuru kiya.
Achanak uski bhonhein sikar gayin.
“Teen taqatwar mojoodgiyan?”
Sikandar ke zehan mein khayal ubhra.
“Kya woh teen Awakened mujh se zyada taqatwar thay? Tum yaad kar sakte ho ke unki taqat meri muqablay mein kaisi thi?”
Sikandar ne poocha.
Karan kuch dair sochta raha, phir bola,
“Do ke baare mein nahi keh sakta… lekin un mein se aik yaqeenan tum se zyada taqatwar tha.”
Sikandar aur Adhara ne aik dosray ki taraf dekha.
“Agar spellbooks Platchi ke zariye deliver honi thin… to phir Atkins wahan kya kar rahe thay?”
Sikandar ne socha.
Achaanak dono ko aik hi waqt ehsaas hua.
“Spellbooks Atkins ke liye nahi thin!”
Dono aik sath bol uthe.
Agar spellbooks Atkins ke liye hotin, to unka wahan maujood hona be-maani hota.
Is ka matlab sirf aik hi tha…
Atkins bhi unhein churaane aaye thay.
Karan bas ghalat waqt par ghalat jagah pohanch gaya aur ghalat box utha liya —
isi liye jab unki Sikandar se mulaqat hui, to woh itne ghussay mein thay.
“Agar spellbooks Atkins ke liye nahi thin… to phir kis ke liye thin?”
Sikandar ne kaha.
Adhara bhi gehri soch mein gum ho gayi.
Ab sirf do mumkin naam bachay thay —
Granlor ya Reed Family.
Sikandar ka jhukao Reed Family ki taraf tha, kyun ke unka darja aur rawabit Atkins ke zyada qareeb thay.
Kuch dair sochnay ke baad, Sikandar ne achanak poocha,
“Tumhare Dad kahan hain?”
Adhara ne jawab diya,
“Yahan se kaafi door hain. Kam az kam 6 ghantay lag jayen ge.”
“Kal subah nikalte hain. Tayari karo,”
Sikandar ne faisla suna diya.
.
.
.
.
Isi waqt…
Suraj abhi tak Cluster Domain mein tha.
Woh jaan boojh kar rukha hua tha, taake bahar nikalna mehfooz ho.
Achanak woh neend se jaag gaya jab us ne mehsoos kiya ke koi uske upar baitha hua hai.
Us ne aankh kholi to dekha —
chhota sa Cyclops, Dyrmir, uske seene par baitha tha.
“Tum kya kar rahe ho?! Neeche utro!”
Suraj ghabra kar bola.
Magar Dyrmir hansne laga aur Suraj ke pait par koodnay laga, jaise yeh sab usay maze ka khel lag raha ho.
“Mister… tum laal kyun nahi ho?”
Dyrmir ne poocha.
Suraj ghussay mein use pakarnay hi wala tha ke achanak —
ZAP!
Dyrmir bijli ban kar gayab ho gaya aur aglay lamhay Suraj ke baen taraf zahir hua.
Uske haath mein Suraj ka phone tha.
Suraj uth kar uske peechay bhaaga, magar woh usay pakar hi nahi pa raha tha.
“Yeh kya bakwaas hai… aik Cyclops aur lightning affinity? Yeh mumkin hi nahi,”
Suraj ne jhunjhla kar socha.
Tab Ugrok ne aage barh kar Dyrmir ko pakar liya aur phone wapas Suraj ko de diya.
“Dyrmir bachcha hai,”
Ugrok ne sirf itna kaha.
Suraj ne phone pakarte hue poocha,
“Kya yeh normal hai? Kya Cyclops ke paas lightning affinity ho sakti hai?”
Ugrok ne sar hila kar kaha,
“Ugrok bhi hairan hai… yeh namumkin hona chahiye.”
Dono be-bas nazron se Dyrmir ko dekhne lage jo ab bhi thakay baghair idhar udhar bhaag raha tha.
“Mujhe laga tha insani bachay hi mushkil hotay hain… magar yeh to alag hi level ka hai,”
Suraj ne socha.
Phir us ne Ugrok ki taraf dekh kar kaha,
“Kya Sikandar ko iske baare mein pata hai? Hairani hai ke us ne abhi tak isay zanjeer nahi lagayi.”
Ugrok ne sar hila diya —
Sikandar ko abhi tak Dyrmir ke baare mein kuch bhi nahi pata tha.
Aakhri dafa jab Sikandar yahan aaya tha, Dyrmir so raha tha…
itna active nahi tha.
“Shayad mujhe Sikandar ko bata dena chahiye,”
Suraj ne dil hi dil mein socha.
_ _ _ _
Agley din,
Suraj Cluster Domain se wapas aa chuka tha aur seedha Sikandar ke ghar pohancha.
Us ne Sikandar ko bataya ke spellbooks bilkul mehfooz hain aur abhi bhi Cluster Domain ke andar hi hain.
Lekin…
ek masla tha.
Suraj ne bataya ke jab woh Cluster Domain mein dakhil honay hi wala tha, us par Platchi Family ke logon ne hamla kar diya tha.
Agar Ugrok waqt par na aata, to shayad baat bohot khatarnak ho jati.
Masla yeh tha ke
un mein se ek shakhs bhag nikalne mein kamyab ho gaya tha,
aur us ne Ugrok ko Emham Forest mein dekh liya tha.
Yeh sun kar Sikandar ne apni peshani dabai, gehri soch mein doob gaya.
Akhirkar us ne faisla kiya,
“Jab tak Ugrok khud bahar nahi aata, tab tak koi bara masla nahi hoga.”
Is waqt Sikandar ke paas pehle hi bohot zyada urgent matters thay.
Woh aur waqt zaya nahi kar sakta tha.
Us ne Suraj ko apna poora plan samjha diya.
UWO ke liye contingency plan
Sikandar aur Suraj ne mil kar UWO ke liye ek official form tayar kiya,
taake agar Atkins Family ne koi bhi ghalat harkat ki, to foran report ki ja sake.
Is form ki copies:
Sikandar
Suraj
Adhara
Karan
aur hatta ke Ryze ke paas bhi thi
Agar Atkins Family ne un mein se kisi ko bhi maar diya,
to jo bhi zinda bachta,
woh yeh form UWO tak zaroor pohanchata.
Original form Ryze ke paas tha.
Kisi ko nahi pata ke Sikandar ne Ryze ko Fireband Market se khareeda tha ya nahi,
lekin ab Ryze ka sab se bara kaam yahi tha
ke zaroorat parne par yeh form UWO tak pohanchaye.
Parents ko chhupana
Spellbooks secure karne aur UWO ka kaam complete karne ke baad,
Sikandar ne Suraj ko hukm diya ke:
“Apni maa aur uske shohar ko Cluster Domain le jao.”
Sikandar ki maa Suraj ko pehchanti thi,
is liye woh paranoid nahi hoti.
Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha:
“Umeed hai maa, Ugrok se mil kar panic nahi karegi…”
Cluster Domain ab tak ki sab se mehfooz jaga thi jo Sikandar ke paas thi.
Is jaga ke baare mein sirf:
Sikandar
Adhara
aur Rosie
ko hi ilm tha.
Yeh jaga Sikandar ko Dark Moon ke dauran ghalti se mili thi,
lekin ab yahi un sab ki hifazat ka zariya thi.
Chahe parents ko Ugrok jaise supernatural se mil kar dar lage,
unhein bachanay ka yahi aik tareeqa tha.
Adhara ka father
Sikandar aur Adhara ne faisla kiya ke
Adhara ke walid ko bhi foran utha kar Cluster Domain pohanchaya jaye.
Situation bohot tezi se escalate ho rahi thi.
Jo bhi un ke kareebi thay,
bargaining chip ban sakte thay.
Atkins Family bilkul bhi peeche nahi hatne wali thi.
Meeting se pehle hi woh pehla hamla karna chahti thi.
Sikandar aur Adhara dono jaantay thay
ke un ki sab se bari kamzori un ke parents hain.
Agar parents pakray gaye,
to un ki saari bargaining power khatam ho jati.
.
.
.
Ochyra University
Is waqt Sikandar aur Adhara Ochyra University mein thay.
Unhein Adhara ke father tak pohanchne ke liye train leni thi,
kyun ke yahi sab se tez zariya tha.
Lekin jaise hi woh train station ke qareeb pohanchay,
Sikandar ki nazar achanak ek brown trench coat pehnay hue aadmi par pari
jo principal ke sath baat kar raha tha.
Sikandar ne foran Adhara ko roka.
“Tum yahin ruko.”
Woh khud dheere dheere un ke qareeb gaya,
lekin 15 meter ka distance barqarar rakha.
Principal aur trench coat wala aadmi
ek kamray mein dakhil ho gaye,
jahan guards pehle se maujood thay.
Sikandar ruk gaya.
Tab hi us ne mehsoos kiya:
“Is aadmi ki khushboo… bohot jani pehchani lag rahi hai.”
Achaanak usay yaad aa gaya.
“Yeh wohi lakri jaisi woody scent hai…
bilkul Jane wali, jo kal raat Atkins ke sath thi!”
Sikandar ki enhanced smelling ability
15 meter door se bhi scent pakar sakti thi.
Ab usay yaqeen ho gaya tha:
yeh aadmi kisi na kisi tarah Atkins se juda hua hai.
“Kya yeh detective hai?
Ya Atkins ke liye kaam kar raha hai?”
Jab eavesdrop ka koi tareeqa na mila,
Sikandar wapas Adhara ke paas aaya.
Adhara ne foran poocha:
“Kya hua?”
Sikandar gehri soch mein tha.
Kuch dair baad us ne kaha:
“Adhara, tum apne Dad ko lene jao aur unhein Cluster Domain le jao.
Mujhe yahan ek kaam karna hai.”
Adhara ne us ka haath pakar liya.
Us ki aankhon mein zid thi.
“Tum kya karne walay ho?”
Sikandar ne usay ek khaali jagah par le ja kar sab kuch samjhaya.
“Agar yeh aadmi Jane se mila hai,
to iska matlab spellbooks shayad sirf Atkins ke liye nahi hain.
Mujhe pata karna hoga ke yeh sab kis ke liye hai.”
Adhara ne sar hila diya.
Knowledge is power,
aur woh yeh baat achi tarah jaanti thi.
Sikandar wahan baith kar intezar karta raha.
Do ghantay baad,
trench coat wala aadmi bahar nikla,
brown hat pehni aur principal ko alvida kaha.
Sikandar ne us ka peecha shuru kar diya.
Bus, phir doosra area,
aur aakhirkaar woh FAA office mein dakhil ho gaya.
“Yeh waqai detective ho sakta hai…”
Lekin jab Sikandar wapas murhnay laga,
us ne mehsoos kiya…
koi aur bhi usay follow kar raha hai.
Casual kapron mein aik aadmi,
har dukaan ke bahar ruk jata,
phone dekhne ka natak karta.
Sikandar samajh gaya.
Sikandar mall mein ghusa,
seedha movie theater.
Ek khaali studio.
Staff member ne roknay ki koshish ki,
lekin Alpha Intimidation ke sirf aik jhatkay se
woh dar ke mare behosh ho gayi.
Trench wala stalker andar aaya…
lekin studio khaali tha.
Achaanak—
ZOOM!!
Zameen achanak siyah ho gayi.
Puri studio ki floor par kaali bijli halki halki chamakne lagi, aur chand hi lamhon mein woh siyahi poori jagah ko nigal gayi.
Yeh dekh kar us aadmi ne bhonay chadha liye.
Woh chah raha tha ke chalang laga kar zameen ko chhoone se bach jaye, lekin dair ho chuki thi.
Achanak zameen se kaali bijli ke chaar chabuk nikal aaye.
Woh chabuk seedha us aadmi ko nishana bana kar us ka peecha karne lage.
Aadmi idhar-udhar chalang lagata raha, baen aur daen dodge karta raha.
Woh baen taraf se aane wale aik chabuk se bach gaya—
lekin aglay hi lamhay uski aankhon ke saamne namumkin hua.
Bijli ka chabuk mud gaya
aur seedha uske baen baazu par aa kar zapp kar gaya.
“Kkhh!”
Uske munh se dard bhari karah nikli.
Kaali bijli uske baazu se hoti hui uske poore jism mein phail gayi,
uska jism sunn par gaya, taqat khatam hoti mehsoos hui.
Woh bhaagne hi wala tha ke—
Sikandar achanak uske saamne aa khara hua.
Sikandar ke chehre par aik shaytani muskurahat thi.
Woh dheemi awaaz mein bola:
“Mystic Shock…”
DEG!
Jaisay hi alfaaz uske honton se niklay—
Aadmi ka dil zor se dhadka.
Uske jism ke andar maujood kaali bijli achanak phat padi,
uska poora jism paralyze ho gaya
aur woh ghutnon ke bal zameen par gir gaya.
Sikandar ne haath ghumaya.
Kaali bijli ke chaaron chabuk ne us aadmi ke haath aur paon pakar liye.
Har baar jab woh mana activate karne ki koshish karta,
bijli usay aur zyada jala deti.
Woh bilkul be-bas ho chuka tha.
Us haal mein dekh kar Sikandar ke honton par halki si muskurahat aa gayi.
Jo jadoo Sikandar ne zameen ko siyah karne ke liye istemal kiya tha,
woh uska naya spell tha:
Black Field Orko
Yeh spell aik aisa field banata hai jo us ke andar mana ke flow ko bigaar deta hai.
Kamzor mana control walay Awakened
is field ke andar spells istemal hi nahi kar sakte.
Iske saath Sikandar ne Lightning Salvo bhi use kiya tha—
Kaali bijli ke chabuk jo field ke andar
heat-seeking missile ki tarah target ka peecha karte hain.
Farq sirf yeh tha ke
Lightning Salvo sirf un logon ko nishana banata hai
jinhein Sikandar chahe.
Aur jab Mystic Shock ko is ke saath jor diya jaye—
Toh yeh poora area aik qatal-khaana ban jata hai.
Yahan tak ke
Rank-4 mid level Awakened
bhi is field mein asaani se gir jata hai.
Sikandar aahista aahista us aadmi ke paas gaya.
Woh abhi bhi sunn aur zameen par jakkra hua tha.
Sikandar uske saamne baith gaya
aur uske kapray phaad diye.
Uske seene par aik tattoo numaya hua—
Atkins Family ka crest.
Aik parinda,
haray rang ki aankhein,
aur poori taqat se phailay hue par.
Bilkul wahi nishan
jo Sikandar ne pichhli raat Jane ki spirit energy mein dekha tha.
Sikandar muskuraya.
“Dekho toh sahi…
Atkins Family ka aik stalker.”
Woh khara hua, thodi dair socha, phir cheekh ke bola:
“Lagta hai Atkins yeh samajh rahe hain ke main mazaaq kar raha hoon?
Mujhe follow karne ke liye aise log bhej rahe hain?”
Aadmi ne mushkil se sir uthaya.
“Mujhe chhor do…
tum Atkins Family ko nahi jaante.
Tum great Atkins Family se dushmani nahi mol le sakte.”
Uski awaaz mein fakhr tha.
Sikandar hans pada.
“Oh really?
Great Atkins Family ka aik stalker mujhe dhamka raha hai?
Main toh bohat darr gaya.”
Us aadmi ne gusse se daant pees liye.
Aksar log Atkins ka naam sunte hi jhuk jaate thay—
lekin Sikandar ke liye
yeh sirf aik mazaaq tha.
Sikandar ki muskurahat gayab ho gayi.
Uski aankhein thandi aur khatarnaak ho gayin.
“Apne boss ko yeh paighaam de dena,”
Sikandar ne sakhti se kaha,
“agar dobara mere peeche aise log bheje…
toh uske qeemti spellbooks kabhi wapas nahi milenge.”
“Main mazaaq nahi kar raha,”
uski awaaz aur bhi thandi ho gayi,
“warna pachtana parega.”
Aadmi khamosh ho gaya.
Sikandar ki aura itni bhari thi
ke woh samajh gaya—
Agar Sikandar chaahe
toh isi lamhay usay maar sakta hai.
Sikandar ne seedhi nazar uski aankhon mein daali.
“Main zyada sabr wala nahi hoon.”
Yeh keh kar Sikandar ne chabuk hata liye.
Aadmi ladkhadata hua utha
aur bhaagne hi wala tha ke—
Sikandar ki awaaz aayi:
“Ruko.”
“Oh haan…
tum aik misaal bano ge.”
“Stalker ki saza—
aik aankh.”
Sikandar ke chehre par shaytani muskurahat phail gayi.
Uska haath kaali bijli se bhar gaya
aur aik pal mein—
ZAP!
Bijli seedhi us aadmi ki baen aankh mein ghus gayi.
SPLURT!!
“AAARGHHH!”
Cheekh studio mein goonj uthi.
Sikandar ne uski baen aankh nooch kar bahar nikaali
aur zameen par phenk di.
Phir us aadmi ko zor se laat maari.
“Ab wapas jao,”
Sikandar ne sard lehje mein kaha,
“aur unhein batao—
main intezar kar raha hoon.”
_ _ _ _
Sikandar apne khoon se bharay haath saaf karta hua studio se bahar nikal aata hai.
Pehle jo stalker tha, woh ab jagah chhor chuka tha.
Sikandar ne Atkins Family ke liye ek misaal qaim kar di thi — uski baayi aankh le kar.
Chahe woh abhi student hi kyun na ho, use halkay mein lena ek bhool hoti.
Yahi baat Sikandar unhein yaad dilana chahta tha.
Khane ke baad, jab uska pait bhar chuka tha, woh mall se bahar nikla aur apne ghar ki taraf chal para taake Karan ka haal dekh sake.
Suraj aur Adhara bilkul wahi kar rahe thay jo usne unhein kaha tha, is liye uske liye ab koi kaam baqi nahi tha.
Usne khud apni family ko lene ka faisla nahi kiya, kyun ke usay darr tha ke koi uska peecha kar raha hai — aur baad mein yeh ehsaas bilkul sahi sabit hua.
“Kal detective ko dobara check karunga… usay mujhe kuch dena hi hoga,” Sikandar ne socha jab woh bus stop par khara tha.
Woh aasman ki taraf dekhta hai, aankhein thori si sikorti hui.
Suraj seedha uske sar par chamak raha tha, aur Sikandar mehsoos kar sakta tha ke dhoop ki garmi uski jild ke andar tak utar rahi hai ke achanak—
Uski nazar dhundhli ho jati hai.
Sikandar do teen martaba palkein jhapakta hai, lekin jab apne gird-o-nawaah ko dekhta hai, to sab log ghaib ho chuke hotay hain.
Bheed ka shor bhi khatam ho chuka hota hai.
“Hmm?” Sikandar hairani se apne aas paas dekhta hai.
Abhi chand seconds pehle yahan logon ka hujoom tha, lekin ab aisa lagta hai jaise hawa ne sab ko utha kar le gaya ho.
Woh baen aur daen dekhta hai, dil mein ajeeb sa khatra mehsoos karta hua.
Phir use ehsaas hota hai ke dhoop ki garmi bhi gayab ho chuki hai.
Uska mahol gehra neela ho jata hai, jaise suraj ki jagah kisi aur cheez ne le li ho.
Uske bilkul upar, aasman mein ek gehra neela gola tha.
Sikandar usay ghor se dekhta hai aur samajh jata hai ke yeh chand hai — lekin yeh aam chand jaisa nahi tha.
Achaanak—
Usne mehsoos kiya ke us neelay chand ki roshni uske jism ko chubhne lagi hai.
Yeh chubhan dheere dheere barhti chali gayi, itni ke jaise uski jild jal rahi ho.
“Yeh kya ho raha hai?” Sikandar ghabra kar sochta hai.
Woh dekhta hai ke uski jild raakh jaisi siyah hoti ja rahi hai, chand ki roshni ki wajah se.
Aahista aahista, uska jism raakh mein tabdeel hone lagta hai.
Sikandar ghabra jata hai aur us raakh ko pakarne ki koshish karta hai, lekin bekaar.
Woh sirf be-basi se dekhta rehta hai ke kaise uska jism ka hissa hissa raakh ban raha hai — aur phir achanak—
Uski aankh khul jati hai.
TIN!!
Samne se gaariyon ke horn bajte hain, jo Sikandar ko haqeeqat mein wapas le aate hain.
Uska mahol phir se normal ho chuka hota hai.
Sikandar apna haath chhorta hai jo side mein lagi metallic pole ko zorr se pakray hue tha.
Woh pole ko dekhta hai — woh uski pakar ki wajah se mur chuki hoti hai.
“Mom, kya yeh TV walay Awakened jaisa hai?”
Ek chhota larka apni maa se poochta hai, Sikandar ki taraf ishara karte hue.
Dono bus stop par baithe hotay hain ke uski maa foran uska munh dhak deti hai.
“Bas karo Michael, kisi ajnabi ki taraf ungli uthana badtameezi hoti hai,”
woh halki si daant kehti hai.
Sikandar peeche dekhta hai to maa sharmindagi ke sath muskurati hui nazar aati hai.
Woh phir apni nazar aagay karta hai aur apna Stats Tab kholta hai.
(Stats)
Pack: Silverstar (2/2)
Level: 26 (2,481,000 / 10,000,000)
Race: High Werewolf
Full-Moon: 8 Days – Yule Moon
Berserk: 62%
Sanity: 33%
Mental: 51 (+32)
Strength: 115 (+60)
Agility: 59 (+2)
Endurance: 46 (+26)
Intelligence: 82 (+20)
<Average Human Adults ke paas har stat ke liye sirf 5–7 points hotay hain, siwaaye Intelligence ke>
Apne stats dekhte hue,
Sikandar ko ehsaas hua ke agla full moon sirf aik haftay door hai.
Us ne is ke liye koi khaas tayyari nahi ki thi, kyun ke masail aik ke baad aik us par toot rahe thay.
“Meri Sanity bohot low hai… mujhe isay barhana hoga,” Sikandar ne khud se socha.
Full moon ke dauran Sanity stats calculate hotay hain, aur woh nahi chahta tha ke uski sanity itni kam rahe.
Kam az kam 70% ya us se zyada honi chahiye thi.
Sochte sochte, achanak use dhoop se bechaini mehsoos hui.
Us ne dekha ke bus qareeb aa chuki thi, lekin intezar karne ke bajaye woh daur kar bus ki taraf gaya aur zor se darwaza khatkhataya.
“Sabr karo jawan, main kahin bhaaga nahi ja raha,”
bus driver ne sar hilaate hue kaha.
Sikandar foran bus ke pichlay seat par ja kar baith gaya.
Jaise hi uska jism seedhi dhoop se door hua, use thora sukoon mehsoos hua.
“Kya jo ajeeb si dark blue moon main ne dekhi… wahi agla full moon hai?”
Sikandar ne dil mein socha.
⟨Yes, the user saw a glimpse of the Yule Moon’s power⟩
Yeh parh kar Sikandar ki bhonwen sikur gayeen.
“Ye full moon mujhe apni vision kyun dikha rahi hai?
Main ne kabhi kisi aur full moon ke sath aisa mehsoos nahi kiya…”
⟨It is not a vision, but rather a warning from the Yule Moon⟩
Sikandar aur bhi confuse ho gaya.
Usay sirf itna pata tha ke full moon aik werewolf ko zyada taqat deta hai.
Magar yeh sab… bilkul mukhtalif tha.
Woh bus ke pichlay hissay mein khamoshi se baitha raha, chehra sanjeeda tha.
“Kya iska matlab hai ke Yule Moon mere liye khatarnak hai?
Aur jo ajeeb si bechaini mujhe dhoop se mehsoos hoti hai…
kya woh isi se judi hui hai?”
Kuch dair sochne ke baad, Sikandar ne system shop khol li.
Us ne Yule Moon ke liye koi breathing technique dhoondhne ki koshish ki,
lekin hairani ki baat thi ke kuch bhi nahi mila.
Us ne keyword daala: “Yule Moon”
Shop ne sirf locked items dikhaaye —
jin ke liye woh requirements poori nahi karta tha.
Tab uski aankhein achanak khul gayeen.
“Agar Yule Moon ke liye koi breathing technique hi nahi hai…
to iska matlab hai ke yeh woh full moon nahi jahan werewolves apni taqat barhate hain.”
Usay apni pehli vision yaad aa gayi.
“Bilkul us vision ki tarah…
agar main is moon ki roshni ke seedhay samne aaya,
mera jism rakh ban sakta hai.”
Agar system keh raha tha ke woh vision aik warning thi,
to iska matlab tha ke Yule Moon khud usey warn kar rahi hai.
Aur shop mein breathing technique ka na hona…
uski theory ko confirm kar raha tha.
Sikandar ne suraj ki taraf dekha.
Uske zehan mein abhi tak woh dark blue moon chamak rahi thi.
“Kya mujhe koi underground jagah dhoondhni chahiye?”
us ne khud se poocha.
.
.
.
.
Meanwhile…
Suraj Sikandar ki Mom ke ghar pohanch chuka tha.
Ochyra University zyada door nahi thi, is liye woh jaldi wahan aa gaya.
Us ne kapray theek kiye aur darwazay par do teen dafa knock kiya.
Kuch hi lamhon baad, darwaza khula.
Samne aik middle-aged aadmi khara tha.
Grey slick-back baal, grey aankhein,
umar ke bawajood posture kaafi strong tha.
Baazu se aik tattoo jhalak raha tha.
Safed shirt, aur aankhon par black reading glasses.
“Tum kaun ho?”
us aadmi ne Suraj ko upar se neeche tak dekhte hue poocha.
Suraj ne polite muskurahat ke sath haath aagay barhaya.
“Sorry bother karne ke liye.
Mera naam Suraj hai, main Sikandar ka dost hoon.
Kya Mrs. Greene ghar par hain?”
Aadmi ne haath milaya.
“Main uska shohar hoon, Robert.
Woh abhi ghar par nahi, thori dair mein aa jayengi.”
Suraj kuch aur poochna chahta tha,
lekin Robert ne pehle hi andar aane ka ishara kar diya.
Suraj ne shistagi se andar qadam rakha.
Ghar andar se bohot cozy tha,
lekin sirf do logon ke liye kaafi zyada bara.
Naye furniture ki khushboo hawa mein ghuli hui thi.
Suraj ne socha:
“Lagta hai Sikandar ne in par kaafi paisa lagaya hai… sab kuch naya hai.”
“Please baitho,”
Robert ne sofa ki taraf ishara kiya.
Phir muskurate hue poocha:
“Coffee ya pani?
Meri biwi ne achi coffee li hai, recommend karta hoon.”
“Coffee hi theek hai,”
Suraj ne muskurate hue kaha.
Kuch hi dair mein, Robert do cups le kar aaya.
Suraj ne coffee ki khushboo mehsoos ki aur aik sip li.
“Kaisi hai? Zabardast hai na?”
Robert ne fakhar se poocha.
Suraj ne sar hila kar haan kaha.
Uski nazar backyard par chali gayi.
Wahan mazdoor kaam kar rahe thay —
cementing, hammering… dhoop ke bawajood mehnat.
Robert ne kaha:
“Naya pool banwa rahe hain.
Meri biwi pools ki bohot shaukeen hai.”
Suraj sirf awkward muskuraya.
Phir Robert ne poocha:
“Tum Sikandar ke dost ho?
University mein mile thay?”
“Nahi… hum military mein mile thay.
Jab Sikandar service mein tha,”
Suraj ne thori udaasi ke sath jawab diya.
Robert hairan hua.
“Mujhe yaqeen nahi hota ke uska koi purana dost bhi ho sakta hai.
Woh bohot khamosh ladka hai.”
Phir baaton baaton mein, Robert Suraj ko garage le gaya.
Wahan char motorcycles thi —
har aik mukhtalif type ki.
Robert apni jawani ke qissay sunane laga.
“Us waqt bikes ke sath larkiyan khud line mein lag jati thi,”
woh hans kar bola.
“Jawani mein maze kar lo…
warna baad mein aik hi larki ke sath phans jaoge.”
Robert hans raha tha.
Magar Suraj ka chehra badal gaya.
“Excuse me… bathroom?”
Bathroom mein pohanch kar, Suraj ne pani khola
aur zor se apna chehra dhoya.
Uski saans tez thi,
jism pasinay se bhar gaya.
Aankhon ke samne flashbacks aane lage.
BOOM!
GOLIYON KI AWAAZEIN!
LOGON KI CHEEKHEN!
“Medic! Idhar aao!”
“Meri baazu!”
“Main marna nahi chahta!”
Aainay mein ab uska aks nahi tha,
balkay zakhmi aur khoon mein doobay log thay.
Woh military uniform mein tha,
baazu par medic ka band.
Woh tay nahi kar pa raha tha
kis ki jaan pehle bachaye.
Suraj phisal kar deewar ke sath baith gaya
aur sar pakar liya.
Yeh baat us ne kabhi kisi ko nahi batayi…
na hi Sikandar ko.
Kuch dair baad, woh bahar nikla.
Chehra phir se normal tha.
Aur tabhi darwaza khula.
Mrs. Greene shopping bags ke sath andar aayi.
Designer kapray, classy andaaz.
Suraj ko dekh kar woh khushi se boli:
“Suraj! Aao, mujhe hug do!”
_ _ _ _
Mrs. Greene dheere dheere Suraj ki taraf aayi aur usay gale laga liya.
Dono ki pehli mulaqat us din hui thi jab UWO ne unhein bahaduri ke medals diye thay. Us din ke baad Suraj, Mrs. Greene se kaafi familiar ho chuka tha—
khaaskar jab bhi usay yaad aata ke Sikandar ne uske liye apni jaan qurbaan kar di thi.
“Tum kaise ho beta? Kaafi mahine ho gaye hain tumhein dekhe hue,”
Mrs. Greene ne muskurate hue kaha.
Suraj ke liye ye dekh kar dil ko sukoon mila ke wo ab theek lag rahi thi.
Suraj ne narmi se muskurate hue jawab diya,
“Main bilkul theek hoon Mrs. Greene… aur mujhe afsos hai ke main kuch arsey se aap se milne nahi aa saka.”
Ye sun kar Mrs. Greene halki si hans pari.
“Is mein sorry kis baat ka? Mujhe pata hai tum log kitne masroof ho,”
unhon ne kaha aur Robert ko ishara kiya ke shopping bags le jaye.
Apne dost ki maa ko itna theek dekh kar Suraj bhi khush ho gaya.
Usay yaad tha pichhli mulaqat—jab Mrs. Greene bilkul toot chuki thi.
Aaj unki aankhon mein zindagi wapas dekh kar Suraj ka dil halka ho gaya.
Mrs. Greene, Suraj ko sofa tak le aayi.
Dono baith gaye.
“Tum pehle bata dete ke aa rahe ho, main tumhare liye khud khana banati,”
unhon ne pyaar se kaha.
“Koi baat nahi Mrs. Greene,” Suraj ne adab se jawab diya.
Ye sun kar Mrs. Greene foran khari ho gayi.
“Ye kya baat hui? Main abhi bana leti hoon!”
Lekin Suraj ne unka haath pakar kar unhein roka.
Wo hairani se Suraj ko dekhne lagi.
“Asal mein… main aap dono ko kahin le jane aaya hoon,”
Suraj ne thora hichkichate hue kaha.
Isi waqt Robert wapas aaya aur baat sun li.
“Trip?” Robert ne udaasi se kaha,
“Maaf karna Suraj, lekin main shayad nahi aa sakta. Kaam bohat zyada hai.”
Mrs. Greene ne foran kaha,
“Main aa sakti hoon, tum fikar mat karo. Batao, kahan ja rahe hain?”
Suraj ne seedha Robert ki taraf dekha.
“Nahi… aap dono ko aana hoga. Ye trip Sikandar ne plan ki hai. Agar aap nahi aaye to wo bohat udaas ho jayega.”
Robert hairan reh gaya.
“Sikandar ne plan ki hai?”
Mrs. Greene ki aankhon mein chamak aa gayi.
“Tum Sikandar se mile? Ye to bohat achi khabar hai!”
Phir unhon ne Robert ko kaha ke aik din ki chhutti le le.
Thori dair sochne ke baad Robert maan gaya.
“Lekin agar tum Sikandar se mile ho to wo khud kyun nahi aaya?”
Mrs. Greene ne poocha.
Suraj ne foran jawab diya,
“University mein uska kuch zaroori kaam hai, is liye nahi aa saka.”
Dono ne sar hila diya aur packing shuru kar di.
Suraj ne kaha ke wo jald rawana honge.
‘Shukar hai ye maan gaye… baqi baat Sikandar khud samjha dega,’
Suraj ne dil hi dil mein socha.
.
.
.
.
Ratmawati City ke kisi kone mein…
Ek azeem-o-shaan mansion ke andar aik khandaan nashta kar raha tha.
Safed aur hary rang se saja hua ye mansion har taraf se guards se ghira hua tha.
Luxury cars samne khari thi, aur har cheez bilkul perfect lag rahi thi—
lekin mahaul ghutan bhara tha.
Dining hall mein paanch afraad baithay thay.
Sab ke baal hary rang ke thay, siwaye aik darmiyani umar ki aurat ke jiske baal bhuray thay.
Khamoshi itni gehri thi ke chamach ki halki awaaz bhi tez lag rahi thi.
Khandaan ka sarbarah aaram se khana kha raha tha,
lekin uski teiz nazrein apni beti par jami hui thin.
Agar Sikandar yahan hota,
to wo is larki ko pehchan leta—
ye wahi Jane thi jo us se pichhli raat Amethyst Hotel mein mili thi.
Jane ne nazrein neeche kar rakhi thin.
Uske haath kaanp rahe thay aur wo table ke neeche ungliyon se khel rahi thi.
“To tum keh rahi ho… ke ye Sikandar naam ka larka teeno Spellbooks rakhta hai?”
baap ne uski baat dohrayi.
Jane ne hont kaat liye.
“Ji… uske paas saboot tha. Aur wo hamare khandaan se bilkul nahi darta.”
Ye sun kar poora hall aur zyada bhaari ho gaya.
Ye baat ke koi ‘aam larka’ unhein dhamka sake—
ye Wesley Atkins ke liye bardasht se bahar tha.
“Usne tum se aur kya kaha?”
Wesley ne poocha.
“Usne kaha ke wo aapse baat karna chahta hai…
wo chahta hai ke uski shartein suni jayein.
Wo aapse—Wesley Atkins—se baat karna chahta hai.”
Wesley ne gehri saans li.
“Main ne tumhein Spellbooks churaane ko kaha tha.
Tumhein sirf Platchi se deal karni thi.
Aur tum keh rahi ho ke Sikandar ne tum se pehle haath maar liya?”
Jane foran boli,
“Nahi father… uska kehna hai ke usne jaan boojh kar nahi liya.
Uske log ghalat box le aaye.
Aur lagta hai wo Platchi ka bhi dushman hai.”
PRANG!
Wesley ki aura phat padi.
Platein aur khana hawa mein ud gaya.
“Ye koi justification nahi hai!”
Wesley ne ghurrate hue kaha.
“Tum Rank Six ho!
Aur tum aik student se haar gayi jo mushkil se Rank Four tak pohancha hai?!”
Wo uth kar Jane ke bilkul qareeb aa gaya.
“Spellbooks ki ahmiyat main ne samjhayi thi!
Agar ye haath se nikal gaye to hum Top Ten se neeche gir jayenge!”
Isi waqt aik guard aage aaya aur Wesley ke kaan mein kuch kaha.
Wesley ki aankhein phail gayin.
Phir uska chehra sakht ho gaya.
“Main khud ja kar is haramzaaday se milunga,”
usne kaha.
“Tum filhaal apna hisaab barabar karne ki koshish karo.”
Ye keh kar Wesley hall se nikal gaya.
.
.
.
.
Agla din…
Sikandar apne ghar mein Ryze aur Karan ke saath nashta kar raha tha.
Uski nazar Karan par pari—
uski aankhon ke neeche gehre siyah halqay thay.
Wo raat bhar so nahi saka tha.
Usay darr tha ke jaise hi wo soye, dushman hamla kar denge.
“Main madad karna chahta hoon…
mujhe madad karne do,”
Karan ne pur-azm lehje mein kaha.
Sikandar ne us reminder ki taraf dekha, phir gehri saans li.
“Tum mushkil soorat-e-haal mein ho,”
Sikandar ne kaha.
“Agar madad karni hai…
to pehle apni ghaltiyon par socho jo tumhein yahan tak le aayi.
Aur dobara wo ghalti mat dohrana.”
Karan ne majbooran khamoshi ikhtiyar kar li.
Sikandar ka mood waise bhi kharab tha.
Us vision ke baad usay samajh aa chuka tha—
Yule Moon usay mazid taqat nahi de sakti…
Aur ye baat uske liye sab se zyada khatarnaak thi.
Itni sari cheezein aik sath ho rahi theen ke Sikandar ka dimagh bhari ho chuka tha.
Usay poori umeed thi ke aane wali full moon usay bohat zyada strong bana degi, kyun ke woh aik Werewolf tha.
Lekin ab…
Usay achi tarah pata tha ke agli full moon uski madad nahi karegi.
Yule Moon ke qareeb hone aur apni kam Sanity ko dekh kar, Sikandar samajh chuka tha ke sirf intezar se kaam nahi chale ga.
Is liye us ne System Shop kholne ka faisla kiya.
“Shayad yahan kuch aisa mil jaye jo meri madad kar sake…”
Us ne shop kholi aur filter ko ‘Spirit’ par set kar diya.
Jaise hi filter apply hua, us ke samne mukhtalif qisam ke spirits aa gaye — aag, pani, hawa, zameen aur bijli ke elements ke sath, har aik ke apne ajeeb effects the.
Is waqt Sikandar ko hairani bhi nahi hui.
System se woh ab kaafi kuch dekh chuka tha.
Scroll karte hue usay ehsaas hua ke tamam achay spirits kam az kam 20,000 gold se shuru ho rahe the — aur itna gold us ke paas filhaal bilkul nahi tha.
Phir us ki nazar aik spirit par ja kar ruk gayi.
Aik azeem spirit jis ne 11,000 saal pehle Clouds ke purane Gatekeeper ko replace kiya tha.
Devo aik intehai powerful lightning-based spirit hai.
Jis Lightning Elementalist ke sath yeh bind hota hai, us ki taqat teen guna barh jati hai.
Effect Gained:
• Enhanced Lightning-Based
Abilities
• Expanded Mana Absorption
Radius
• Weather Control
Sikandar ki aankhon mein chamak aa gayi.
Yeh spirit bijli ka tha, jo bilkul us ke sath compatible tha — lekin asal wajah kuch aur thi.
Expanded Mana Absorption Radius.
“Yeh… yeh meri zindagi badal sakta hai…”
Agar normally Rank 6 tak pohanchne mein Sikandar ko 4 mahine lagte, to is spirit ke sath woh shayad aadha waqt, ya us se bhi kam mein rank up kar sakta tha.
Sirf tasawwur hi us ke jism ko kapkapa gaya.
Agar woh strong ho jaye…
to us ke tamam masail khatam ho sakte hain.
Lekin phir us ki nazar price par pari.
100,000 Gold.
Sikandar ne gehri saans li aur thandi ah bhari.
“High Spirit hai… sasta to ho hi nahi sakta.”
‘Pehle Rank Five tak pohanchna hoga… phir hi main isay khareed sakta hoon,’
Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Sochte sochte woh be-ikhteyar dusre kamre mein chala gaya, jab ke Ryze aur Karan kitchen mein hi maujood the.
Kai ghantay guzarnay ke baad, Sikandar kamre se bahar nikla.
Us ki aankhon mein ab azm tha.
Us ke zehan mein aik plan ban chuka tha — agar yeh plan kamyaab ho gaya, to woh sirf strong hi nahi…
balkeh nayi bulandiyon ko chhoo sakta tha.
Sikandar phir se FAA Office ki taraf gaya.
Is martaba us ka maqsad tha —
detective ka peecha karna aur yeh jaan’na ke spellbooks asal mein kis ke liye hain.
Ab tak yeh baat usay bilkul bhi clear nahi thi.
Lekin jaise hi woh ghar se bahar nikla, us ne dekha ke galiyon mein FAA ke bohat se members maujood hain.
Kahin chhote groups mein, kahin akelay…
Aur bohat se to Ochyra University ke andar tak phail chuke the.
“Yeh yaqeenan spellbooks ki talash mein hain,”
Sikandar ne socha.
Us ne aik stall se topi khareedi, phir university ke andar chala gaya.
Usay detective ki khushboo mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Werewolf honay ki wajah se Sikandar ke tamam senses hadd se zyada tez the —
khaaskar smell.
Sirf aik dafa door se smell kar ke, woh kisi ki khushboo yaad rakh sakta tha.
Woh aik kone mein pohancha aur dekha ke detective kuch FAA members se baat kar raha hai.
Isi dauran Sikandar ka phone baj utha.
Screen par Suraj ka naam chamak raha tha.
“Sab kaisa chal raha hai?” Sikandar ne poocha.
“Main raaste mein hoon,”
Suraj ne jawab diya, awaaz se lag raha tha ke woh car mein hai.
“Tumhein bhi wahan pohanch kar unhein situation explain karni hogi.”
“Samajh gaya,”
Sikandar ne kaha aur call band kar di.
Detective FAA members ko search radius ke baray mein bata raha tha,
lekin Sikandar ko wahan se koi khaas maloomat nahi mili.
Jab woh wapas janay hi wala tha…
us ne kuch dekha.
Detective achanak group se alag ho gaya.
Woh aam logon ke sath normal andaz mein chal raha tha,
idhar-udhar nazar daalte hue.
Sikandar ne us ka peecha jari rakhne ka faisla kiya.
University se bahar nikal kar detective aik chhote se ghar ke samne ruk gaya.
Us ne idhar-udhar dekha —
jis par Sikandar foran aik barey ghamlay ke peechay chhup gaya.
Itminan ke baad ke koi peecha nahi kar raha,
detective ne darwaze par aik code knock ki —
jo Sikandar ne apni tez aankhon se note kar liya.
Detective ke andar jaane ke baad,
Sikandar deewar ke sath lag kar darwaze ke qareeb aa gaya.
Woh poori tarah sun nahi sakta tha,
lekin kuch alfaaz us ke kaanon tak pohanch rahe the.
“Hamare logon ne mehsoos kiya hai ke spellbooks kisi chor ke paas hain… aur woh yahin ke aas paas hai,”
aik aurat ki awaaz sunai di.
“Hum poori koshish kar rahe hain, ma’am,”
detective ne jawab diya.
“Ho sakta hai yeh Atkins Family ho,”
aurat ne kaha.
“Woh haal hi mein kaafi harkat mein hain.”
Detective ne hichkichate hue poocha,
“Phir kya mujhe un ki property search karni chahiye?”
“Nahi,”
aurat ne sakhti se kaha.
“Spellbooks bohat secret hain.
Hum yeh baat public nahi kar sakte ke hum unhein dhoondh rahe hain.”
Phir woh boli,
“Agar tum spellbooks dhoondh kar humein de do,
to Reed Family tumhari qarzdar hogi…
aur tumhein bharpoor inaam milega.”
Yeh sun kar Sikandar ki aankhen phail gayin.
“Reed Family…?”
Usay jaise hi itni maloomat mil gayi,
woh wahan se hatna hi chahta tha ke…
Achanak!
Kisi ne peechay se us ka munh pakar liya.
Kaali energy ne dono ko ghair liya.
Sikandar ne poori taqat se chutnay ki koshish ki,
lekin be-faida.
Us ne dekha ke us ka jism poori tarah black energy mein doob gaya —
aur aglay hi lamhay…
Teleport!
Zameen par zor se girte hue woh aagay phaink diya gaya.
Thud!
Dard se daant pees kar, Sikandar ne peechay dekha.
Aur jise dekha…
us ki saans atak gayi.
“A-Aap…?”
“Principal?!”

Episode 57
Yule Moon is coming
Supernatural Territory – Vampire Kingdom
Solomon ke Qila ke Andar
Solomon ke qila ke andar ek azeem-o-shaan hall tha — itna wasi ke hazaron log ek sath kharay ho sakte thay bina kisi ghutan ke.
Is hall ke beech mein be-shumar insaan jama huay thay… sab kaanpte huay, dare huay.
Zyada tar insaan zakhmi nahi thay,
lekin un ke gird kharay vampires ki nazrein un ke liye kisi qatal se kam nahi thi.
Vampires ne insano ko beech mein rakh kar daaira bana liya tha.
Un ki aankhein laal thi, saans bhari hui,
aur un ke halaq se bhook aur junoon bhari growl nikal rahi thi.
Unhein insano ke jism ke andar behtay huay khoon ki har lehar mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Yeh un ke liye ek azeem azaab tha —
jaise bhooke shikari ke samne be-bas shikar ho…
lekin haath bandhay huay hon.
Gusse aur hawas ne unhein pagal kar diya tha.
Hall ke daayein darwaze se
Solomon aur Nezera andar aaye —
un ke par phailay huay, shahi aur khaufnaak.
Solomon ke siyah aur laal par roshni chhor rahe thay,
jaise khud andhera aur khoon un ke ghulam hon.
Jaise hi woh dono hall mein dakhil huay,
vampires ki growling foran khamosh ho gayi.
Sab peeche hat gaye,
rasta banaya gaya.
Solomon ne apni laal aankhon se dono taraf nazar daali.
Insanon ki tadaad dekh kar us ke chehre par halki si muskurahat aa gayi.
“Hmm… meri umeed se zyada hain.”
Nezera ne thandi aur nafrat bhari nazron se insano ko dekha.
“So yeh kaunsa ritual hai jis ka tum zikar kar rahe thay?”
us ne poocha, awaaz mein sakhti thi.
Us ke chehre se saaf zahir tha ke
woh insano ke sath ek hi kamray mein saans lena bhi gawara nahi karti.
Solomon hansa.
“Tum khud dekhogi.”
Solomon ne apne par zor se phailaye
aur hawa mein uth gaya.
Us ne vampires ki taraf dekha —
jin ke jism tanay huay thay,
jaise bas ijazat ka intezar ho.
“Mere logon… shuru karo.”
GROOOOWL!!
Agla lamha qiyamat tha.
Vampires insano par toot paray —
jaise murday par keere par jate hain.
“Aaaahhh!!”
“NAHI! KHUDA KE WASTE, YEH MERA BETA HAI!”
Cheekhon aur faryadon ne poora hall bhar diya.
Yeh qatal-e-aam tha.
Koi bhi insaan Awakened nahi tha.
Aur har vampire kam az kam Rank Five ka tha.
Insanon ke liye koi chance nahi tha.
Nezera ne bhonh charha di.
Us ne Solomon ki taraf dekh kar kaha,
“Yeh toh aam feeding jaisa hi lagta hai. Is mein ritual kya hai?”
Solomon phir hansa —
is dafa aur zyada sharaarti.
“Bas dekhte raho.”
Nezera ko hairani hui,
kyun ke Solomon kam hi aise muskurata tha.
Us ne tawajjo se dekha.
Aur phir…
usey farq nazar aaya.
Har vampire sirf aik martaba har insaan ko kaat raha tha.
Kisi ne bhi dobaara bite nahi kiya.
Jaise koi an-dekha qanoon unhein roak raha ho.
Kuch dair baad,
vampires peeche hat gaye
aur apni jagah par wapas aa gaye.
Un ke daanton se khoon tapak raha tha —
sirf aik chhota sa ghont liya gaya tha.
Yeh un ke liye bilkul na-kaafi tha,
lekin Solomon ki laal nazron ke samne
kisi ki himmat nahi thi.
Insano ki gardanon par do khooni nishan chamak rahe thay.
Dard kam tha…
lekin khauf had se zyada.
“Ritual shuru hota hai.”
Solomon ki aankhein gehri laal ho gayin.
Us ne apne bazu phaila diye.
Agla lamha…
insano ki gardanon se khoon hawa mein uthne laga.
Khoon ke qatre un ke sar ke upar jama ho gaye.
Insaan laachari mein apni gardan dhaknay lage.
Unhein dard nahi ho raha tha —
bas ek ghalat, gandi si feeling mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Solomon ne haath ghumaya.
Khoon ne mil kar
ek azeem surkh rune bana diya —
sainkron ajeeb o ghareeb nishanon se bhara hua.
Poora hall laal roshni mein doob gaya.
Nezera ki saans ruk gayi.
Yeh power…
usay kabhi mehsoos nahi hui thi.
“Ancient…”
us ke zehan mein sirf yehi lafz aaya.
Solomon ne aankhein band kar ke
ajeeb zaban mein chant shuru ki.
Yeh zaban Nezera ne kabhi nahi suni thi.
Yeh qadeem daur ki zaban thi —
jo Solomon ne Nolacula se hasil ki thi,
aur khud apni marzi se is ritual ke liye dhali thi.
Chant khatam hui.
Solomon ki aankhein khul gayin.
BOOOOM!!
Laal shockwaves us ki aankhon se phoot paray
aur seedha insano par ja lage.
“Khoon ke Aaghaz ke naam par…
tum sab meri nasal ke ghulam banoge!”
SWOOOSH!!
Insanon ke jism laal roshni se chamak uthay.
Rune se ancient energy barsi
jo unhein poori tarah gher chuki thi.
Vampires aur Nezera dono
saans lena bhool gaye.
Yeh energy…
bilkul un ke Origin jaisi thi.
Mukaddas.
Pur-sukoon.
Aur khaufnaak.
Kisi ko bolnay ki himmat nahi hui.
Insano ki aankhein laal ho gayin.
Phir…
cheekhain shuru ho gayin.
Jism chatakhne lage.
Haddiyan cheekhne lageen.
Daant lambi ho kar fangs banne lage.
Khoon un ke jism ke har suraakh se behnay laga.
“AAAARGHH!!”
Solomon aur Nezera khamoshi se dekhte rahe.
Un ke liye yeh manzar
khoobsurat tha.
Jaise raat mein
koi qeemti cheez aankhon ko chhed rahi ho.
Kuch dair baad…
cheekhain ruk gayin.
Transformation mukammal ho chuki thi.
Lekin har koi zinda nahi raha.
Teen-chauthai insaan
is azaab ko bardasht nahi kar paaye.
Sirf aik-chauthai bachay.
Jab woh kharay huay…
Toh Solomon aur Nezera ki aankhein
hairat se phail gayin.
Jo cheez un ke samne khari thi…
woh insaan nahi thay.
“Yeh… yeh main kya dekh rahi hoon?”
Nezera ne hairani se kaha.
Solomon ke chehre par ek shetani muskurahat aa gayi jab us ne apni aankhon ke saamne maujood makhlooq ko dekha.
“Kaamyaab ho gaya… kaamyaab ho gaya! Yeh waqai kaam kar gaya! Origin ne humein apni barkat de di hai!”
Hall ke andar maujood tamam zinda bach jane wale insaan poori tarah tabdeel ho chuke thay.
Ab woh insaan nahi rahe thay.
Unki jild laash ki tarah pheeki ho chuki thi, daant chaku ki tarah tez ho gaye thay, aur aankhein khoon jaisi surkh aur be-rahm chamak rahi thi.
Tamam bache hue insaan vampire ban chuke thay.
Unki nazrein idhar udhar bhatak rahi thin, jaise unhein apna guzra hua wajood yaad hi na ho.
Unki insaniyat, unki tabdeeli ke sath hi khatam ho chuki thi.
Sniff… Sniff…
Naye bane hue vampires ki tawajjoh zameen par bikhre hue khoon par ja tikki.
Jo khoon mare hue insano se baha tha, woh unhein apni taraf kheench raha tha.
Unhein ajeeb sa ehsaas ho raha tha… woh khoon jo pehle unhein ghinona lagta tha, ab lazeez nazar aa raha tha.
Unhon ne la-sha’oori taur par nigla.
Unke andar ek na qabil-e-bardasht pyaas paida ho chuki thi.
Tab Solomon ne bhaari aur dabao bhari awaaz mein kaha,
“Tum unka khoon pee sakte ho… jitna chaho, pee sakte ho.”
Phir us ne muskurate hue kaha,
“Khandaan mein khush aamdeed.”
.
.
.
.
Sikandar aur Adhara jaldi jaldi Amethyst Hotel se bahar niklay.
Dono seedha apni gaari ki taraf barhay aur bina waqt zaya kiye wahan se rawana ho gaye.
Gaari chalate hue Sikandar gehri soch mein gum tha jab ke Adhara bilkul khamosh thi.
“Shukar hai main unhein roknay mein kaamyab ho gaya… bas aik ghalat qadam, aur meri maut yaqeeni thi,”
Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Atkins ki achanak zahoor ne usay bilkul be-khabar pakar liya tha.
Abhi tak usay samajh nahi aa raha tha ke Atkins itni aasani se unhein track kaise kar paaye.
Aur sab se ajeeb baat yeh thi ke unhon ne Karan ko dhoondhnay ki bhi koshish nahi ki — jab ke asal chori us ne ki thi.
“Tum kisay call kar rahe ho?”
Adhara ne poocha, jab us ne Sikandar ke chehre par pareshani dekhi.
Sikandar gaari tez chalata hua bola,
“Suraj ko. Humein apni saari kamzoriyon ko mehfooz karna hoga, warna woh phir hamla kar sakte hain.”
Phone kaafi dair tak ring hota raha… magar Suraj ne jawab nahi diya.
“Yeh kahan hai? Call kyun nahi utha raha?”
Sikandar ne socha.
Phir bhi usay zyada fikar nahi thi — woh Suraj ki salahiyat par bharosa karta tha.
Taqreeban aadha ghanta baad, Sikandar apne ghar pohanch gaya.
Woh aur Adhara ghar ke andar gaye aur dekha ke Karan pehle se wahan maujood tha.
Karan ne haath mein aik kagaz pakra hua tha.
“Yeh lo. Main ne us raat jo kuch yaad aa saka, sab likh diya hai.”
Sikandar ne kagaz liya aur ghor se parhna shuru kiya.
Achanak uski bhonhein sikar gayin.
“Teen taqatwar mojoodgiyan?”
Sikandar ke zehan mein khayal ubhra.
“Kya woh teen Awakened mujh se zyada taqatwar thay? Tum yaad kar sakte ho ke unki taqat meri muqablay mein kaisi thi?”
Sikandar ne poocha.
Karan kuch dair sochta raha, phir bola,
“Do ke baare mein nahi keh sakta… lekin un mein se aik yaqeenan tum se zyada taqatwar tha.”
Sikandar aur Adhara ne aik dosray ki taraf dekha.
“Agar spellbooks Platchi ke zariye deliver honi thin… to phir Atkins wahan kya kar rahe thay?”
Sikandar ne socha.
Achaanak dono ko aik hi waqt ehsaas hua.
“Spellbooks Atkins ke liye nahi thin!”
Dono aik sath bol uthe.
Agar spellbooks Atkins ke liye hotin, to unka wahan maujood hona be-maani hota.
Is ka matlab sirf aik hi tha…
Atkins bhi unhein churaane aaye thay.
Karan bas ghalat waqt par ghalat jagah pohanch gaya aur ghalat box utha liya —
isi liye jab unki Sikandar se mulaqat hui, to woh itne ghussay mein thay.
“Agar spellbooks Atkins ke liye nahi thin… to phir kis ke liye thin?”
Sikandar ne kaha.
Adhara bhi gehri soch mein gum ho gayi.
Ab sirf do mumkin naam bachay thay —
Granlor ya Reed Family.
Sikandar ka jhukao Reed Family ki taraf tha, kyun ke unka darja aur rawabit Atkins ke zyada qareeb thay.
Kuch dair sochnay ke baad, Sikandar ne achanak poocha,
“Tumhare Dad kahan hain?”
Adhara ne jawab diya,
“Yahan se kaafi door hain. Kam az kam 6 ghantay lag jayen ge.”
“Kal subah nikalte hain. Tayari karo,”
Sikandar ne faisla suna diya.
.
.
.
.
Isi waqt…
Suraj abhi tak Cluster Domain mein tha.
Woh jaan boojh kar rukha hua tha, taake bahar nikalna mehfooz ho.
Achanak woh neend se jaag gaya jab us ne mehsoos kiya ke koi uske upar baitha hua hai.
Us ne aankh kholi to dekha —
chhota sa Cyclops, Dyrmir, uske seene par baitha tha.
“Tum kya kar rahe ho?! Neeche utro!”
Suraj ghabra kar bola.
Magar Dyrmir hansne laga aur Suraj ke pait par koodnay laga, jaise yeh sab usay maze ka khel lag raha ho.
“Mister… tum laal kyun nahi ho?”
Dyrmir ne poocha.
Suraj ghussay mein use pakarnay hi wala tha ke achanak —
ZAP!
Dyrmir bijli ban kar gayab ho gaya aur aglay lamhay Suraj ke baen taraf zahir hua.
Uske haath mein Suraj ka phone tha.
Suraj uth kar uske peechay bhaaga, magar woh usay pakar hi nahi pa raha tha.
“Yeh kya bakwaas hai… aik Cyclops aur lightning affinity? Yeh mumkin hi nahi,”
Suraj ne jhunjhla kar socha.
Tab Ugrok ne aage barh kar Dyrmir ko pakar liya aur phone wapas Suraj ko de diya.
“Dyrmir bachcha hai,”
Ugrok ne sirf itna kaha.
Suraj ne phone pakarte hue poocha,
“Kya yeh normal hai? Kya Cyclops ke paas lightning affinity ho sakti hai?”
Ugrok ne sar hila kar kaha,
“Ugrok bhi hairan hai… yeh namumkin hona chahiye.”
Dono be-bas nazron se Dyrmir ko dekhne lage jo ab bhi thakay baghair idhar udhar bhaag raha tha.
“Mujhe laga tha insani bachay hi mushkil hotay hain… magar yeh to alag hi level ka hai,”
Suraj ne socha.
Phir us ne Ugrok ki taraf dekh kar kaha,
“Kya Sikandar ko iske baare mein pata hai? Hairani hai ke us ne abhi tak isay zanjeer nahi lagayi.”
Ugrok ne sar hila diya —
Sikandar ko abhi tak Dyrmir ke baare mein kuch bhi nahi pata tha.
Aakhri dafa jab Sikandar yahan aaya tha, Dyrmir so raha tha…
itna active nahi tha.
“Shayad mujhe Sikandar ko bata dena chahiye,”
Suraj ne dil hi dil mein socha.
_ _ _ _
Agley din,
Suraj Cluster Domain se wapas aa chuka tha aur seedha Sikandar ke ghar pohancha.
Us ne Sikandar ko bataya ke spellbooks bilkul mehfooz hain aur abhi bhi Cluster Domain ke andar hi hain.
Lekin…
ek masla tha.
Suraj ne bataya ke jab woh Cluster Domain mein dakhil honay hi wala tha, us par Platchi Family ke logon ne hamla kar diya tha.
Agar Ugrok waqt par na aata, to shayad baat bohot khatarnak ho jati.
Masla yeh tha ke
un mein se ek shakhs bhag nikalne mein kamyab ho gaya tha,
aur us ne Ugrok ko Emham Forest mein dekh liya tha.
Yeh sun kar Sikandar ne apni peshani dabai, gehri soch mein doob gaya.
Akhirkar us ne faisla kiya,
“Jab tak Ugrok khud bahar nahi aata, tab tak koi bara masla nahi hoga.”
Is waqt Sikandar ke paas pehle hi bohot zyada urgent matters thay.
Woh aur waqt zaya nahi kar sakta tha.
Us ne Suraj ko apna poora plan samjha diya.
UWO ke liye contingency plan
Sikandar aur Suraj ne mil kar UWO ke liye ek official form tayar kiya,
taake agar Atkins Family ne koi bhi ghalat harkat ki, to foran report ki ja sake.
Is form ki copies:
Sikandar
Suraj
Adhara
Karan
aur hatta ke Ryze ke paas bhi thi
Agar Atkins Family ne un mein se kisi ko bhi maar diya,
to jo bhi zinda bachta,
woh yeh form UWO tak zaroor pohanchata.
Original form Ryze ke paas tha.
Kisi ko nahi pata ke Sikandar ne Ryze ko Fireband Market se khareeda tha ya nahi,
lekin ab Ryze ka sab se bara kaam yahi tha
ke zaroorat parne par yeh form UWO tak pohanchaye.
Parents ko chhupana
Spellbooks secure karne aur UWO ka kaam complete karne ke baad,
Sikandar ne Suraj ko hukm diya ke:
“Apni maa aur uske shohar ko Cluster Domain le jao.”
Sikandar ki maa Suraj ko pehchanti thi,
is liye woh paranoid nahi hoti.
Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha:
“Umeed hai maa, Ugrok se mil kar panic nahi karegi…”
Cluster Domain ab tak ki sab se mehfooz jaga thi jo Sikandar ke paas thi.
Is jaga ke baare mein sirf:
Sikandar
Adhara
aur Rosie
ko hi ilm tha.
Yeh jaga Sikandar ko Dark Moon ke dauran ghalti se mili thi,
lekin ab yahi un sab ki hifazat ka zariya thi.
Chahe parents ko Ugrok jaise supernatural se mil kar dar lage,
unhein bachanay ka yahi aik tareeqa tha.
Adhara ka father
Sikandar aur Adhara ne faisla kiya ke
Adhara ke walid ko bhi foran utha kar Cluster Domain pohanchaya jaye.
Situation bohot tezi se escalate ho rahi thi.
Jo bhi un ke kareebi thay,
bargaining chip ban sakte thay.
Atkins Family bilkul bhi peeche nahi hatne wali thi.
Meeting se pehle hi woh pehla hamla karna chahti thi.
Sikandar aur Adhara dono jaantay thay
ke un ki sab se bari kamzori un ke parents hain.
Agar parents pakray gaye,
to un ki saari bargaining power khatam ho jati.
.
.
.
Ochyra University
Is waqt Sikandar aur Adhara Ochyra University mein thay.
Unhein Adhara ke father tak pohanchne ke liye train leni thi,
kyun ke yahi sab se tez zariya tha.
Lekin jaise hi woh train station ke qareeb pohanchay,
Sikandar ki nazar achanak ek brown trench coat pehnay hue aadmi par pari
jo principal ke sath baat kar raha tha.
Sikandar ne foran Adhara ko roka.
“Tum yahin ruko.”
Woh khud dheere dheere un ke qareeb gaya,
lekin 15 meter ka distance barqarar rakha.
Principal aur trench coat wala aadmi
ek kamray mein dakhil ho gaye,
jahan guards pehle se maujood thay.
Sikandar ruk gaya.
Tab hi us ne mehsoos kiya:
“Is aadmi ki khushboo… bohot jani pehchani lag rahi hai.”
Achaanak usay yaad aa gaya.
“Yeh wohi lakri jaisi woody scent hai…
bilkul Jane wali, jo kal raat Atkins ke sath thi!”
Sikandar ki enhanced smelling ability
15 meter door se bhi scent pakar sakti thi.
Ab usay yaqeen ho gaya tha:
yeh aadmi kisi na kisi tarah Atkins se juda hua hai.
“Kya yeh detective hai?
Ya Atkins ke liye kaam kar raha hai?”
Jab eavesdrop ka koi tareeqa na mila,
Sikandar wapas Adhara ke paas aaya.
Adhara ne foran poocha:
“Kya hua?”
Sikandar gehri soch mein tha.
Kuch dair baad us ne kaha:
“Adhara, tum apne Dad ko lene jao aur unhein Cluster Domain le jao.
Mujhe yahan ek kaam karna hai.”
Adhara ne us ka haath pakar liya.
Us ki aankhon mein zid thi.
“Tum kya karne walay ho?”
Sikandar ne usay ek khaali jagah par le ja kar sab kuch samjhaya.
“Agar yeh aadmi Jane se mila hai,
to iska matlab spellbooks shayad sirf Atkins ke liye nahi hain.
Mujhe pata karna hoga ke yeh sab kis ke liye hai.”
Adhara ne sar hila diya.
Knowledge is power,
aur woh yeh baat achi tarah jaanti thi.
Sikandar wahan baith kar intezar karta raha.
Do ghantay baad,
trench coat wala aadmi bahar nikla,
brown hat pehni aur principal ko alvida kaha.
Sikandar ne us ka peecha shuru kar diya.
Bus, phir doosra area,
aur aakhirkaar woh FAA office mein dakhil ho gaya.
“Yeh waqai detective ho sakta hai…”
Lekin jab Sikandar wapas murhnay laga,
us ne mehsoos kiya…
koi aur bhi usay follow kar raha hai.
Casual kapron mein aik aadmi,
har dukaan ke bahar ruk jata,
phone dekhne ka natak karta.
Sikandar samajh gaya.
Sikandar mall mein ghusa,
seedha movie theater.
Ek khaali studio.
Staff member ne roknay ki koshish ki,
lekin Alpha Intimidation ke sirf aik jhatkay se
woh dar ke mare behosh ho gayi.
Trench wala stalker andar aaya…
lekin studio khaali tha.
Achaanak—
ZOOM!!
Zameen achanak siyah ho gayi.
Puri studio ki floor par kaali bijli halki halki chamakne lagi, aur chand hi lamhon mein woh siyahi poori jagah ko nigal gayi.
Yeh dekh kar us aadmi ne bhonay chadha liye.
Woh chah raha tha ke chalang laga kar zameen ko chhoone se bach jaye, lekin dair ho chuki thi.
Achanak zameen se kaali bijli ke chaar chabuk nikal aaye.
Woh chabuk seedha us aadmi ko nishana bana kar us ka peecha karne lage.
Aadmi idhar-udhar chalang lagata raha, baen aur daen dodge karta raha.
Woh baen taraf se aane wale aik chabuk se bach gaya—
lekin aglay hi lamhay uski aankhon ke saamne namumkin hua.
Bijli ka chabuk mud gaya
aur seedha uske baen baazu par aa kar zapp kar gaya.
“Kkhh!”
Uske munh se dard bhari karah nikli.
Kaali bijli uske baazu se hoti hui uske poore jism mein phail gayi,
uska jism sunn par gaya, taqat khatam hoti mehsoos hui.
Woh bhaagne hi wala tha ke—
Sikandar achanak uske saamne aa khara hua.
Sikandar ke chehre par aik shaytani muskurahat thi.
Woh dheemi awaaz mein bola:
“Mystic Shock…”
DEG!
Jaisay hi alfaaz uske honton se niklay—
Aadmi ka dil zor se dhadka.
Uske jism ke andar maujood kaali bijli achanak phat padi,
uska poora jism paralyze ho gaya
aur woh ghutnon ke bal zameen par gir gaya.
Sikandar ne haath ghumaya.
Kaali bijli ke chaaron chabuk ne us aadmi ke haath aur paon pakar liye.
Har baar jab woh mana activate karne ki koshish karta,
bijli usay aur zyada jala deti.
Woh bilkul be-bas ho chuka tha.
Us haal mein dekh kar Sikandar ke honton par halki si muskurahat aa gayi.
Jo jadoo Sikandar ne zameen ko siyah karne ke liye istemal kiya tha,
woh uska naya spell tha:
Black Field Orko
Yeh spell aik aisa field banata hai jo us ke andar mana ke flow ko bigaar deta hai.
Kamzor mana control walay Awakened
is field ke andar spells istemal hi nahi kar sakte.
Iske saath Sikandar ne Lightning Salvo bhi use kiya tha—
Kaali bijli ke chabuk jo field ke andar
heat-seeking missile ki tarah target ka peecha karte hain.
Farq sirf yeh tha ke
Lightning Salvo sirf un logon ko nishana banata hai
jinhein Sikandar chahe.
Aur jab Mystic Shock ko is ke saath jor diya jaye—
Toh yeh poora area aik qatal-khaana ban jata hai.
Yahan tak ke
Rank-4 mid level Awakened
bhi is field mein asaani se gir jata hai.
Sikandar aahista aahista us aadmi ke paas gaya.
Woh abhi bhi sunn aur zameen par jakkra hua tha.
Sikandar uske saamne baith gaya
aur uske kapray phaad diye.
Uske seene par aik tattoo numaya hua—
Atkins Family ka crest.
Aik parinda,
haray rang ki aankhein,
aur poori taqat se phailay hue par.
Bilkul wahi nishan
jo Sikandar ne pichhli raat Jane ki spirit energy mein dekha tha.
Sikandar muskuraya.
“Dekho toh sahi…
Atkins Family ka aik stalker.”
Woh khara hua, thodi dair socha, phir cheekh ke bola:
“Lagta hai Atkins yeh samajh rahe hain ke main mazaaq kar raha hoon?
Mujhe follow karne ke liye aise log bhej rahe hain?”
Aadmi ne mushkil se sir uthaya.
“Mujhe chhor do…
tum Atkins Family ko nahi jaante.
Tum great Atkins Family se dushmani nahi mol le sakte.”
Uski awaaz mein fakhr tha.
Sikandar hans pada.
“Oh really?
Great Atkins Family ka aik stalker mujhe dhamka raha hai?
Main toh bohat darr gaya.”
Us aadmi ne gusse se daant pees liye.
Aksar log Atkins ka naam sunte hi jhuk jaate thay—
lekin Sikandar ke liye
yeh sirf aik mazaaq tha.
Sikandar ki muskurahat gayab ho gayi.
Uski aankhein thandi aur khatarnaak ho gayin.
“Apne boss ko yeh paighaam de dena,”
Sikandar ne sakhti se kaha,
“agar dobara mere peeche aise log bheje…
toh uske qeemti spellbooks kabhi wapas nahi milenge.”
“Main mazaaq nahi kar raha,”
uski awaaz aur bhi thandi ho gayi,
“warna pachtana parega.”
Aadmi khamosh ho gaya.
Sikandar ki aura itni bhari thi
ke woh samajh gaya—
Agar Sikandar chaahe
toh isi lamhay usay maar sakta hai.
Sikandar ne seedhi nazar uski aankhon mein daali.
“Main zyada sabr wala nahi hoon.”
Yeh keh kar Sikandar ne chabuk hata liye.
Aadmi ladkhadata hua utha
aur bhaagne hi wala tha ke—
Sikandar ki awaaz aayi:
“Ruko.”
“Oh haan…
tum aik misaal bano ge.”
“Stalker ki saza—
aik aankh.”
Sikandar ke chehre par shaytani muskurahat phail gayi.
Uska haath kaali bijli se bhar gaya
aur aik pal mein—
ZAP!
Bijli seedhi us aadmi ki baen aankh mein ghus gayi.
SPLURT!!
“AAARGHHH!”
Cheekh studio mein goonj uthi.
Sikandar ne uski baen aankh nooch kar bahar nikaali
aur zameen par phenk di.
Phir us aadmi ko zor se laat maari.
“Ab wapas jao,”
Sikandar ne sard lehje mein kaha,
“aur unhein batao—
main intezar kar raha hoon.”
_ _ _ _
Sikandar apne khoon se bharay haath saaf karta hua studio se bahar nikal aata hai.
Pehle jo stalker tha, woh ab jagah chhor chuka tha.
Sikandar ne Atkins Family ke liye ek misaal qaim kar di thi — uski baayi aankh le kar.
Chahe woh abhi student hi kyun na ho, use halkay mein lena ek bhool hoti.
Yahi baat Sikandar unhein yaad dilana chahta tha.
Khane ke baad, jab uska pait bhar chuka tha, woh mall se bahar nikla aur apne ghar ki taraf chal para taake Karan ka haal dekh sake.
Suraj aur Adhara bilkul wahi kar rahe thay jo usne unhein kaha tha, is liye uske liye ab koi kaam baqi nahi tha.
Usne khud apni family ko lene ka faisla nahi kiya, kyun ke usay darr tha ke koi uska peecha kar raha hai — aur baad mein yeh ehsaas bilkul sahi sabit hua.
“Kal detective ko dobara check karunga… usay mujhe kuch dena hi hoga,” Sikandar ne socha jab woh bus stop par khara tha.
Woh aasman ki taraf dekhta hai, aankhein thori si sikorti hui.
Suraj seedha uske sar par chamak raha tha, aur Sikandar mehsoos kar sakta tha ke dhoop ki garmi uski jild ke andar tak utar rahi hai ke achanak—
Uski nazar dhundhli ho jati hai.
Sikandar do teen martaba palkein jhapakta hai, lekin jab apne gird-o-nawaah ko dekhta hai, to sab log ghaib ho chuke hotay hain.
Bheed ka shor bhi khatam ho chuka hota hai.
“Hmm?” Sikandar hairani se apne aas paas dekhta hai.
Abhi chand seconds pehle yahan logon ka hujoom tha, lekin ab aisa lagta hai jaise hawa ne sab ko utha kar le gaya ho.
Woh baen aur daen dekhta hai, dil mein ajeeb sa khatra mehsoos karta hua.
Phir use ehsaas hota hai ke dhoop ki garmi bhi gayab ho chuki hai.
Uska mahol gehra neela ho jata hai, jaise suraj ki jagah kisi aur cheez ne le li ho.
Uske bilkul upar, aasman mein ek gehra neela gola tha.
Sikandar usay ghor se dekhta hai aur samajh jata hai ke yeh chand hai — lekin yeh aam chand jaisa nahi tha.
Achaanak—
Usne mehsoos kiya ke us neelay chand ki roshni uske jism ko chubhne lagi hai.
Yeh chubhan dheere dheere barhti chali gayi, itni ke jaise uski jild jal rahi ho.
“Yeh kya ho raha hai?” Sikandar ghabra kar sochta hai.
Woh dekhta hai ke uski jild raakh jaisi siyah hoti ja rahi hai, chand ki roshni ki wajah se.
Aahista aahista, uska jism raakh mein tabdeel hone lagta hai.
Sikandar ghabra jata hai aur us raakh ko pakarne ki koshish karta hai, lekin bekaar.
Woh sirf be-basi se dekhta rehta hai ke kaise uska jism ka hissa hissa raakh ban raha hai — aur phir achanak—
Uski aankh khul jati hai.
TIN!!
Samne se gaariyon ke horn bajte hain, jo Sikandar ko haqeeqat mein wapas le aate hain.
Uska mahol phir se normal ho chuka hota hai.
Sikandar apna haath chhorta hai jo side mein lagi metallic pole ko zorr se pakray hue tha.
Woh pole ko dekhta hai — woh uski pakar ki wajah se mur chuki hoti hai.
“Mom, kya yeh TV walay Awakened jaisa hai?”
Ek chhota larka apni maa se poochta hai, Sikandar ki taraf ishara karte hue.
Dono bus stop par baithe hotay hain ke uski maa foran uska munh dhak deti hai.
“Bas karo Michael, kisi ajnabi ki taraf ungli uthana badtameezi hoti hai,”
woh halki si daant kehti hai.
Sikandar peeche dekhta hai to maa sharmindagi ke sath muskurati hui nazar aati hai.
Woh phir apni nazar aagay karta hai aur apna Stats Tab kholta hai.
(Stats)
Pack: Silverstar (2/2)
Level: 26 (2,481,000 / 10,000,000)
Race: High Werewolf
Full-Moon: 8 Days – Yule Moon
Berserk: 62%
Sanity: 33%
Mental: 51 (+32)
Strength: 115 (+60)
Agility: 59 (+2)
Endurance: 46 (+26)
Intelligence: 82 (+20)
<Average Human Adults ke paas har stat ke liye sirf 5–7 points hotay hain, siwaaye Intelligence ke>
Apne stats dekhte hue,
Sikandar ko ehsaas hua ke agla full moon sirf aik haftay door hai.
Us ne is ke liye koi khaas tayyari nahi ki thi, kyun ke masail aik ke baad aik us par toot rahe thay.
“Meri Sanity bohot low hai… mujhe isay barhana hoga,” Sikandar ne khud se socha.
Full moon ke dauran Sanity stats calculate hotay hain, aur woh nahi chahta tha ke uski sanity itni kam rahe.
Kam az kam 70% ya us se zyada honi chahiye thi.
Sochte sochte, achanak use dhoop se bechaini mehsoos hui.
Us ne dekha ke bus qareeb aa chuki thi, lekin intezar karne ke bajaye woh daur kar bus ki taraf gaya aur zor se darwaza khatkhataya.
“Sabr karo jawan, main kahin bhaaga nahi ja raha,”
bus driver ne sar hilaate hue kaha.
Sikandar foran bus ke pichlay seat par ja kar baith gaya.
Jaise hi uska jism seedhi dhoop se door hua, use thora sukoon mehsoos hua.
“Kya jo ajeeb si dark blue moon main ne dekhi… wahi agla full moon hai?”
Sikandar ne dil mein socha.
⟨Yes, the user saw a glimpse of the Yule Moon’s power⟩
Yeh parh kar Sikandar ki bhonwen sikur gayeen.
“Ye full moon mujhe apni vision kyun dikha rahi hai?
Main ne kabhi kisi aur full moon ke sath aisa mehsoos nahi kiya…”
⟨It is not a vision, but rather a warning from the Yule Moon⟩
Sikandar aur bhi confuse ho gaya.
Usay sirf itna pata tha ke full moon aik werewolf ko zyada taqat deta hai.
Magar yeh sab… bilkul mukhtalif tha.
Woh bus ke pichlay hissay mein khamoshi se baitha raha, chehra sanjeeda tha.
“Kya iska matlab hai ke Yule Moon mere liye khatarnak hai?
Aur jo ajeeb si bechaini mujhe dhoop se mehsoos hoti hai…
kya woh isi se judi hui hai?”
Kuch dair sochne ke baad, Sikandar ne system shop khol li.
Us ne Yule Moon ke liye koi breathing technique dhoondhne ki koshish ki,
lekin hairani ki baat thi ke kuch bhi nahi mila.
Us ne keyword daala: “Yule Moon”
Shop ne sirf locked items dikhaaye —
jin ke liye woh requirements poori nahi karta tha.
Tab uski aankhein achanak khul gayeen.
“Agar Yule Moon ke liye koi breathing technique hi nahi hai…
to iska matlab hai ke yeh woh full moon nahi jahan werewolves apni taqat barhate hain.”
Usay apni pehli vision yaad aa gayi.
“Bilkul us vision ki tarah…
agar main is moon ki roshni ke seedhay samne aaya,
mera jism rakh ban sakta hai.”
Agar system keh raha tha ke woh vision aik warning thi,
to iska matlab tha ke Yule Moon khud usey warn kar rahi hai.
Aur shop mein breathing technique ka na hona…
uski theory ko confirm kar raha tha.
Sikandar ne suraj ki taraf dekha.
Uske zehan mein abhi tak woh dark blue moon chamak rahi thi.
“Kya mujhe koi underground jagah dhoondhni chahiye?”
us ne khud se poocha.
.
.
.
.
Meanwhile…
Suraj Sikandar ki Mom ke ghar pohanch chuka tha.
Ochyra University zyada door nahi thi, is liye woh jaldi wahan aa gaya.
Us ne kapray theek kiye aur darwazay par do teen dafa knock kiya.
Kuch hi lamhon baad, darwaza khula.
Samne aik middle-aged aadmi khara tha.
Grey slick-back baal, grey aankhein,
umar ke bawajood posture kaafi strong tha.
Baazu se aik tattoo jhalak raha tha.
Safed shirt, aur aankhon par black reading glasses.
“Tum kaun ho?”
us aadmi ne Suraj ko upar se neeche tak dekhte hue poocha.
Suraj ne polite muskurahat ke sath haath aagay barhaya.
“Sorry bother karne ke liye.
Mera naam Suraj hai, main Sikandar ka dost hoon.
Kya Mrs. Greene ghar par hain?”
Aadmi ne haath milaya.
“Main uska shohar hoon, Robert.
Woh abhi ghar par nahi, thori dair mein aa jayengi.”
Suraj kuch aur poochna chahta tha,
lekin Robert ne pehle hi andar aane ka ishara kar diya.
Suraj ne shistagi se andar qadam rakha.
Ghar andar se bohot cozy tha,
lekin sirf do logon ke liye kaafi zyada bara.
Naye furniture ki khushboo hawa mein ghuli hui thi.
Suraj ne socha:
“Lagta hai Sikandar ne in par kaafi paisa lagaya hai… sab kuch naya hai.”
“Please baitho,”
Robert ne sofa ki taraf ishara kiya.
Phir muskurate hue poocha:
“Coffee ya pani?
Meri biwi ne achi coffee li hai, recommend karta hoon.”
“Coffee hi theek hai,”
Suraj ne muskurate hue kaha.
Kuch hi dair mein, Robert do cups le kar aaya.
Suraj ne coffee ki khushboo mehsoos ki aur aik sip li.
“Kaisi hai? Zabardast hai na?”
Robert ne fakhar se poocha.
Suraj ne sar hila kar haan kaha.
Uski nazar backyard par chali gayi.
Wahan mazdoor kaam kar rahe thay —
cementing, hammering… dhoop ke bawajood mehnat.
Robert ne kaha:
“Naya pool banwa rahe hain.
Meri biwi pools ki bohot shaukeen hai.”
Suraj sirf awkward muskuraya.
Phir Robert ne poocha:
“Tum Sikandar ke dost ho?
University mein mile thay?”
“Nahi… hum military mein mile thay.
Jab Sikandar service mein tha,”
Suraj ne thori udaasi ke sath jawab diya.
Robert hairan hua.
“Mujhe yaqeen nahi hota ke uska koi purana dost bhi ho sakta hai.
Woh bohot khamosh ladka hai.”
Phir baaton baaton mein, Robert Suraj ko garage le gaya.
Wahan char motorcycles thi —
har aik mukhtalif type ki.
Robert apni jawani ke qissay sunane laga.
“Us waqt bikes ke sath larkiyan khud line mein lag jati thi,”
woh hans kar bola.
“Jawani mein maze kar lo…
warna baad mein aik hi larki ke sath phans jaoge.”
Robert hans raha tha.
Magar Suraj ka chehra badal gaya.
“Excuse me… bathroom?”
Bathroom mein pohanch kar, Suraj ne pani khola
aur zor se apna chehra dhoya.
Uski saans tez thi,
jism pasinay se bhar gaya.
Aankhon ke samne flashbacks aane lage.
BOOM!
GOLIYON KI AWAAZEIN!
LOGON KI CHEEKHEN!
“Medic! Idhar aao!”
“Meri baazu!”
“Main marna nahi chahta!”
Aainay mein ab uska aks nahi tha,
balkay zakhmi aur khoon mein doobay log thay.
Woh military uniform mein tha,
baazu par medic ka band.
Woh tay nahi kar pa raha tha
kis ki jaan pehle bachaye.
Suraj phisal kar deewar ke sath baith gaya
aur sar pakar liya.
Yeh baat us ne kabhi kisi ko nahi batayi…
na hi Sikandar ko.
Kuch dair baad, woh bahar nikla.
Chehra phir se normal tha.
Aur tabhi darwaza khula.
Mrs. Greene shopping bags ke sath andar aayi.
Designer kapray, classy andaaz.
Suraj ko dekh kar woh khushi se boli:
“Suraj! Aao, mujhe hug do!”
_ _ _ _
Mrs. Greene dheere dheere Suraj ki taraf aayi aur usay gale laga liya.
Dono ki pehli mulaqat us din hui thi jab UWO ne unhein bahaduri ke medals diye thay. Us din ke baad Suraj, Mrs. Greene se kaafi familiar ho chuka tha—
khaaskar jab bhi usay yaad aata ke Sikandar ne uske liye apni jaan qurbaan kar di thi.
“Tum kaise ho beta? Kaafi mahine ho gaye hain tumhein dekhe hue,”
Mrs. Greene ne muskurate hue kaha.
Suraj ke liye ye dekh kar dil ko sukoon mila ke wo ab theek lag rahi thi.
Suraj ne narmi se muskurate hue jawab diya,
“Main bilkul theek hoon Mrs. Greene… aur mujhe afsos hai ke main kuch arsey se aap se milne nahi aa saka.”
Ye sun kar Mrs. Greene halki si hans pari.
“Is mein sorry kis baat ka? Mujhe pata hai tum log kitne masroof ho,”
unhon ne kaha aur Robert ko ishara kiya ke shopping bags le jaye.
Apne dost ki maa ko itna theek dekh kar Suraj bhi khush ho gaya.
Usay yaad tha pichhli mulaqat—jab Mrs. Greene bilkul toot chuki thi.
Aaj unki aankhon mein zindagi wapas dekh kar Suraj ka dil halka ho gaya.
Mrs. Greene, Suraj ko sofa tak le aayi.
Dono baith gaye.
“Tum pehle bata dete ke aa rahe ho, main tumhare liye khud khana banati,”
unhon ne pyaar se kaha.
“Koi baat nahi Mrs. Greene,” Suraj ne adab se jawab diya.
Ye sun kar Mrs. Greene foran khari ho gayi.
“Ye kya baat hui? Main abhi bana leti hoon!”
Lekin Suraj ne unka haath pakar kar unhein roka.
Wo hairani se Suraj ko dekhne lagi.
“Asal mein… main aap dono ko kahin le jane aaya hoon,”
Suraj ne thora hichkichate hue kaha.
Isi waqt Robert wapas aaya aur baat sun li.
“Trip?” Robert ne udaasi se kaha,
“Maaf karna Suraj, lekin main shayad nahi aa sakta. Kaam bohat zyada hai.”
Mrs. Greene ne foran kaha,
“Main aa sakti hoon, tum fikar mat karo. Batao, kahan ja rahe hain?”
Suraj ne seedha Robert ki taraf dekha.
“Nahi… aap dono ko aana hoga. Ye trip Sikandar ne plan ki hai. Agar aap nahi aaye to wo bohat udaas ho jayega.”
Robert hairan reh gaya.
“Sikandar ne plan ki hai?”
Mrs. Greene ki aankhon mein chamak aa gayi.
“Tum Sikandar se mile? Ye to bohat achi khabar hai!”
Phir unhon ne Robert ko kaha ke aik din ki chhutti le le.
Thori dair sochne ke baad Robert maan gaya.
“Lekin agar tum Sikandar se mile ho to wo khud kyun nahi aaya?”
Mrs. Greene ne poocha.
Suraj ne foran jawab diya,
“University mein uska kuch zaroori kaam hai, is liye nahi aa saka.”
Dono ne sar hila diya aur packing shuru kar di.
Suraj ne kaha ke wo jald rawana honge.
‘Shukar hai ye maan gaye… baqi baat Sikandar khud samjha dega,’
Suraj ne dil hi dil mein socha.
.
.
.
.
Ratmawati City ke kisi kone mein…
Ek azeem-o-shaan mansion ke andar aik khandaan nashta kar raha tha.
Safed aur hary rang se saja hua ye mansion har taraf se guards se ghira hua tha.
Luxury cars samne khari thi, aur har cheez bilkul perfect lag rahi thi—
lekin mahaul ghutan bhara tha.
Dining hall mein paanch afraad baithay thay.
Sab ke baal hary rang ke thay, siwaye aik darmiyani umar ki aurat ke jiske baal bhuray thay.
Khamoshi itni gehri thi ke chamach ki halki awaaz bhi tez lag rahi thi.
Khandaan ka sarbarah aaram se khana kha raha tha,
lekin uski teiz nazrein apni beti par jami hui thin.
Agar Sikandar yahan hota,
to wo is larki ko pehchan leta—
ye wahi Jane thi jo us se pichhli raat Amethyst Hotel mein mili thi.
Jane ne nazrein neeche kar rakhi thin.
Uske haath kaanp rahe thay aur wo table ke neeche ungliyon se khel rahi thi.
“To tum keh rahi ho… ke ye Sikandar naam ka larka teeno Spellbooks rakhta hai?”
baap ne uski baat dohrayi.
Jane ne hont kaat liye.
“Ji… uske paas saboot tha. Aur wo hamare khandaan se bilkul nahi darta.”
Ye sun kar poora hall aur zyada bhaari ho gaya.
Ye baat ke koi ‘aam larka’ unhein dhamka sake—
ye Wesley Atkins ke liye bardasht se bahar tha.
“Usne tum se aur kya kaha?”
Wesley ne poocha.
“Usne kaha ke wo aapse baat karna chahta hai…
wo chahta hai ke uski shartein suni jayein.
Wo aapse—Wesley Atkins—se baat karna chahta hai.”
Wesley ne gehri saans li.
“Main ne tumhein Spellbooks churaane ko kaha tha.
Tumhein sirf Platchi se deal karni thi.
Aur tum keh rahi ho ke Sikandar ne tum se pehle haath maar liya?”
Jane foran boli,
“Nahi father… uska kehna hai ke usne jaan boojh kar nahi liya.
Uske log ghalat box le aaye.
Aur lagta hai wo Platchi ka bhi dushman hai.”
PRANG!
Wesley ki aura phat padi.
Platein aur khana hawa mein ud gaya.
“Ye koi justification nahi hai!”
Wesley ne ghurrate hue kaha.
“Tum Rank Six ho!
Aur tum aik student se haar gayi jo mushkil se Rank Four tak pohancha hai?!”
Wo uth kar Jane ke bilkul qareeb aa gaya.
“Spellbooks ki ahmiyat main ne samjhayi thi!
Agar ye haath se nikal gaye to hum Top Ten se neeche gir jayenge!”
Isi waqt aik guard aage aaya aur Wesley ke kaan mein kuch kaha.
Wesley ki aankhein phail gayin.
Phir uska chehra sakht ho gaya.
“Main khud ja kar is haramzaaday se milunga,”
usne kaha.
“Tum filhaal apna hisaab barabar karne ki koshish karo.”
Ye keh kar Wesley hall se nikal gaya.
.
.
.
.
Agla din…
Sikandar apne ghar mein Ryze aur Karan ke saath nashta kar raha tha.
Uski nazar Karan par pari—
uski aankhon ke neeche gehre siyah halqay thay.
Wo raat bhar so nahi saka tha.
Usay darr tha ke jaise hi wo soye, dushman hamla kar denge.
“Main madad karna chahta hoon…
mujhe madad karne do,”
Karan ne pur-azm lehje mein kaha.
Sikandar ne us reminder ki taraf dekha, phir gehri saans li.
“Tum mushkil soorat-e-haal mein ho,”
Sikandar ne kaha.
“Agar madad karni hai…
to pehle apni ghaltiyon par socho jo tumhein yahan tak le aayi.
Aur dobara wo ghalti mat dohrana.”
Karan ne majbooran khamoshi ikhtiyar kar li.
Sikandar ka mood waise bhi kharab tha.
Us vision ke baad usay samajh aa chuka tha—
Yule Moon usay mazid taqat nahi de sakti…
Aur ye baat uske liye sab se zyada khatarnaak thi.
Itni sari cheezein aik sath ho rahi theen ke Sikandar ka dimagh bhari ho chuka tha.
Usay poori umeed thi ke aane wali full moon usay bohat zyada strong bana degi, kyun ke woh aik Werewolf tha.
Lekin ab…
Usay achi tarah pata tha ke agli full moon uski madad nahi karegi.
Yule Moon ke qareeb hone aur apni kam Sanity ko dekh kar, Sikandar samajh chuka tha ke sirf intezar se kaam nahi chale ga.
Is liye us ne System Shop kholne ka faisla kiya.
“Shayad yahan kuch aisa mil jaye jo meri madad kar sake…”
Us ne shop kholi aur filter ko ‘Spirit’ par set kar diya.
Jaise hi filter apply hua, us ke samne mukhtalif qisam ke spirits aa gaye — aag, pani, hawa, zameen aur bijli ke elements ke sath, har aik ke apne ajeeb effects the.
Is waqt Sikandar ko hairani bhi nahi hui.
System se woh ab kaafi kuch dekh chuka tha.
Scroll karte hue usay ehsaas hua ke tamam achay spirits kam az kam 20,000 gold se shuru ho rahe the — aur itna gold us ke paas filhaal bilkul nahi tha.
Phir us ki nazar aik spirit par ja kar ruk gayi.
Aik azeem spirit jis ne 11,000 saal pehle Clouds ke purane Gatekeeper ko replace kiya tha.
Devo aik intehai powerful lightning-based spirit hai.
Jis Lightning Elementalist ke sath yeh bind hota hai, us ki taqat teen guna barh jati hai.
Effect Gained:
• Enhanced Lightning-Based
Abilities
• Expanded Mana Absorption
Radius
• Weather Control
Sikandar ki aankhon mein chamak aa gayi.
Yeh spirit bijli ka tha, jo bilkul us ke sath compatible tha — lekin asal wajah kuch aur thi.
Expanded Mana Absorption Radius.
“Yeh… yeh meri zindagi badal sakta hai…”
Agar normally Rank 6 tak pohanchne mein Sikandar ko 4 mahine lagte, to is spirit ke sath woh shayad aadha waqt, ya us se bhi kam mein rank up kar sakta tha.
Sirf tasawwur hi us ke jism ko kapkapa gaya.
Agar woh strong ho jaye…
to us ke tamam masail khatam ho sakte hain.
Lekin phir us ki nazar price par pari.
100,000 Gold.
Sikandar ne gehri saans li aur thandi ah bhari.
“High Spirit hai… sasta to ho hi nahi sakta.”
‘Pehle Rank Five tak pohanchna hoga… phir hi main isay khareed sakta hoon,’
Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Sochte sochte woh be-ikhteyar dusre kamre mein chala gaya, jab ke Ryze aur Karan kitchen mein hi maujood the.
Kai ghantay guzarnay ke baad, Sikandar kamre se bahar nikla.
Us ki aankhon mein ab azm tha.
Us ke zehan mein aik plan ban chuka tha — agar yeh plan kamyaab ho gaya, to woh sirf strong hi nahi…
balkeh nayi bulandiyon ko chhoo sakta tha.
Sikandar phir se FAA Office ki taraf gaya.
Is martaba us ka maqsad tha —
detective ka peecha karna aur yeh jaan’na ke spellbooks asal mein kis ke liye hain.
Ab tak yeh baat usay bilkul bhi clear nahi thi.
Lekin jaise hi woh ghar se bahar nikla, us ne dekha ke galiyon mein FAA ke bohat se members maujood hain.
Kahin chhote groups mein, kahin akelay…
Aur bohat se to Ochyra University ke andar tak phail chuke the.
“Yeh yaqeenan spellbooks ki talash mein hain,”
Sikandar ne socha.
Us ne aik stall se topi khareedi, phir university ke andar chala gaya.
Usay detective ki khushboo mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Werewolf honay ki wajah se Sikandar ke tamam senses hadd se zyada tez the —
khaaskar smell.
Sirf aik dafa door se smell kar ke, woh kisi ki khushboo yaad rakh sakta tha.
Woh aik kone mein pohancha aur dekha ke detective kuch FAA members se baat kar raha hai.
Isi dauran Sikandar ka phone baj utha.
Screen par Suraj ka naam chamak raha tha.
“Sab kaisa chal raha hai?” Sikandar ne poocha.
“Main raaste mein hoon,”
Suraj ne jawab diya, awaaz se lag raha tha ke woh car mein hai.
“Tumhein bhi wahan pohanch kar unhein situation explain karni hogi.”
“Samajh gaya,”
Sikandar ne kaha aur call band kar di.
Detective FAA members ko search radius ke baray mein bata raha tha,
lekin Sikandar ko wahan se koi khaas maloomat nahi mili.
Jab woh wapas janay hi wala tha…
us ne kuch dekha.
Detective achanak group se alag ho gaya.
Woh aam logon ke sath normal andaz mein chal raha tha,
idhar-udhar nazar daalte hue.
Sikandar ne us ka peecha jari rakhne ka faisla kiya.
University se bahar nikal kar detective aik chhote se ghar ke samne ruk gaya.
Us ne idhar-udhar dekha —
jis par Sikandar foran aik barey ghamlay ke peechay chhup gaya.
Itminan ke baad ke koi peecha nahi kar raha,
detective ne darwaze par aik code knock ki —
jo Sikandar ne apni tez aankhon se note kar liya.
Detective ke andar jaane ke baad,
Sikandar deewar ke sath lag kar darwaze ke qareeb aa gaya.
Woh poori tarah sun nahi sakta tha,
lekin kuch alfaaz us ke kaanon tak pohanch rahe the.
“Hamare logon ne mehsoos kiya hai ke spellbooks kisi chor ke paas hain… aur woh yahin ke aas paas hai,”
aik aurat ki awaaz sunai di.
“Hum poori koshish kar rahe hain, ma’am,”
detective ne jawab diya.
“Ho sakta hai yeh Atkins Family ho,”
aurat ne kaha.
“Woh haal hi mein kaafi harkat mein hain.”
Detective ne hichkichate hue poocha,
“Phir kya mujhe un ki property search karni chahiye?”
“Nahi,”
aurat ne sakhti se kaha.
“Spellbooks bohat secret hain.
Hum yeh baat public nahi kar sakte ke hum unhein dhoondh rahe hain.”
Phir woh boli,
“Agar tum spellbooks dhoondh kar humein de do,
to Reed Family tumhari qarzdar hogi…
aur tumhein bharpoor inaam milega.”
Yeh sun kar Sikandar ki aankhen phail gayin.
“Reed Family…?”
Usay jaise hi itni maloomat mil gayi,
woh wahan se hatna hi chahta tha ke…
Achanak!
Kisi ne peechay se us ka munh pakar liya.
Kaali energy ne dono ko ghair liya.
Sikandar ne poori taqat se chutnay ki koshish ki,
lekin be-faida.
Us ne dekha ke us ka jism poori tarah black energy mein doob gaya —
aur aglay hi lamhay…
Teleport!
Zameen par zor se girte hue woh aagay phaink diya gaya.
Thud!
Dard se daant pees kar, Sikandar ne peechay dekha.
Aur jise dekha…
us ki saans atak gayi.
“A-Aap…?”
“Principal?!”
