Next morning;
Swara woke up and went to washroom. Sanskar also woke up and sits. He sees arshit sleeping. He caressed his face thinking about last night. Whatever happened made him feel little better. He could not live with that guilt whole life but somewhere he still feel guilty.
Sanskar (monologue): Today, I m feeling light. I still can't able to forgive myself but Swara wants to forget everything and she has forgiven me. I don't know how can be someone so selfless. Once I accused her saying that she is selfish. How wrong I was? Swara is such a gold hearted girl. I did so much to her still she forgive me and asked for friendship. She was saying that friendship with her is not less than a punishment and I know why she said. But for me her friendship is blessing. I promised her that I will trust her and I will keep my promise.
Then only washroom door opened and Swara came outside. Sanskar sees her and smiles at her. Swara also look at him and she also smiled.
Sanskar (smile): Good morning Swara.
Swara feels happy because this is first time he wished her morning. Swara nodded with a smile.
Sanskar gets up and goes to washroom. Swara goes to dressing table. She was getting ready and thinking something.
Swara (monologue): This is the best morning in my life. Sanskar wished me. My heart is feeling like flying. I m so happy today. Last night when Sanskar asked forgiveness, I was totally shocked. I was afraid that he knows about Kavita but thank God Laksh didn't spill it. But whatever happened he knows that I m innocent and it makes me feel so good. He promised to trust me. Today, he wished me good morning. He don't know but these small things giving me a lot of happiness. I love you Sanskar. I love you so much.
Suddenly something striked in her mind: I have to talk to Laksh. I know he didn't tell anything about Kavita still how can he do this?
She comes in sense listening Sanskar's voice who just came out of washroom. He was calling her.
Sanskar: Swara.
Swara: (No answer)
Sanskar (little louder): Swara!!
Swara came in her sense and looked at him with smile.
Sanskar: Where are you Swara?
Swara nods nothing.
Sanskar: What were you thinking?
Swara nods in no.
Sanskar (smile): Ok leave that, Actually I will get late today. I have some work after office.
Swara get confused.
Sanskar: It's very important work and don't think why I am telling you.
Swara look at him surprised because she was thinking the same.
Sanskar: You are my friend right?
Swara nods.
Sanskar: We are friends not stranger. So, I m telling you.
Swara was disappointed a bit with word friend. Still she didn't show and smiles.
Swara goes and wake Arshit and make him ready. After that Swasan left downstairs with Arshit in Swara's arms.
Everyone were in house temple for praying. Laksh sees them descending stairs and smiles. They were looking like a perfect and happy couple with their cute son.
Swara sees him looking at them and give him death glare. Laksh sees this and get that Swara is angry. He immediately turns his face and started talking with Ragini.

Swara was also confused but then something get in her mind. Sanskar also realize it.
Sanskar: May be it was with Arshit when he was hidden in my car.
Swara also nodded.
Sanskar: Oh god, I totally forget about it. I should have found who did it. (Frustrated)
Swara was about to put hand on his shoulder but she was hesitating. After thinking a lot she slowly put hand on his shoulder.
Sanskar: No Swara, how can be I so irresponsible?
He kick on the car's Tyre. Swara nods no to him.
Swara signs through her finger: Sanskar calm down. You are not irresponsible. Stop blaming yourself.
Sanskar calms but still a bit angry.
Sanskar (angry): But I swear Swara. He will face worst if I found who did it.
Swara (sign): Sanskar, did you see anyone around? ( Pointing eyes and around)
Sanskar: Not really, but...
Swara looked at him.
Sanskar (hesitate): I don't know I m right or wrong but I...
Swara was looking at him to continue.
Sanskar: I... I saw Ragini going inside when I was coming outside. But I am not sure, may be she had some work.
He looked at Swara who was thinking something deeply. Her face was serious.
Sanskar: Look Swara, I know she is your sister but you asked me did I saw anyone? So, I told you and I m not blaming Ragini. Don't get me wrong. I m sorry.
Swara looked at him as he was explaining continuously.
Swara tried to stop him but he was not ready to stop. She put her finger on his lips and he stopped. He look at her then her finger. They have eyelock for a couple of minutes. Swara realize and immediately moved her finger away from his lips. Sanskar also composed himself and was looking here and there.
Sanskar: ahmm Ok, Swara bye.
Swara nods without looking at him.
Sanskar sits inside car and drove way.
After Sanskar goes, Swara put her hand near heart to calm. It was beating fastly because of their proximity. She smiled but suddenly her expression changed to serious and then angry. She know that it was Ragini. She had doubted on her.

Swara (monologue): This is too much Ragini. You have gone too far this time. I had doubt on you but I was not sure. That day everyone was worried and restless and you were just pretending. I thought that it was because you don't care about me but now I get it. It was because you did it yourself. I m ashamed of you Ragini. I never thought you can stoop so low to hurt me. I will not forgive you this time.
Swara angrily went inside to talk to Ragini. She was going inside then she sees Laksh. She thought to talk to Laksh first then she will deal with Ragini.
Laksh was going out when Swara come in front of him. Laksh gulped. Swara signed him to follow her. They went to study. Swara was standing quietly and looking at him angrily.
Laksh (gulped): Look Swara, I can explain and see I kept your promise. I didn't tell him anything about Kavita.
Swara (angrily): So you wanted him to know about Kavita too?
Laksh: No Swara, you are getting me wrong. I was not telling him. He forced me. So I told...
Swara angrily pushed him.
Swara (sign) : So, you tell him some stupid story. I told you Laksh. I told you clearly he should never know about it. But still u... Why do you want to kill him. Did you see that? He hurt his hand so badly just because of his guilt. I told you. Your brother is not strong as much he show then why?
( Pushed him hardly, Laksh stumbled)
Laksh (angry too): Stop it Swara. Don't say this. I love my brother. I can't let him die. I can't see him hurt that's why I did that. I told that fake story. What do you think? If I would not told him then he would have sit quietly? No Swara, he would have been more determined. And for your kind information, I didn't tell Bhai that you are innocent. He had realize it himself. He wanted to know about that person who did it. So, I made up an story and if I have to do it again and again then I will do it without thinking anything. I don't want to kill him. So, Don't even try to say it again.
Swara realize she should not do like that and calms a bit.
Laksh also calm down after seeing Swara.
Laksh: I know Swara you are hurt to see him hurt and I m feeling guilty. I should have stopped him from hurting himself. I m sorry for that.
Swara nods no and asked sorry too.
Swara (sign): Anyways, what was story? And what were the characters?
Laksh chuckled and told his fake story. After hearing it, Swara's eyes get wide open.
Laksh: You know Swara, I think I should be a writer. See, I created two characters in two minutes. That Amit, your boyfriend and that that Smita, your enemy cum best freind.
Swara punched him with fake anger.
Laksh: Ouch!!! Swara you are getting dangerous day by day. You slapped Bhai and now you re punching me. I have to stay away from you. ( Dramatic tone)
Swara chuckles at his drama.
Laksh smiles: Okay Swara, I should go now.
Swara nods.
He was going but turns qround and say: Swara, I m happy that Bhai don't know whole truth and I hope he will never know but I am most happy that he don't think you guilty now.
Swara smiles and nods. Laksh left.
Swara face turned serious.
Swara (monologue): You also don't know the whole truth Laksh. It's only me who knows whole truth.
She composed herself and went out.
Ragini was in kitchen. She was cutting some vegetables. Suddenly, she felt grip on her hand. She looked upward to see. It's Swara. She was holding her hand tightly and her eyes was red in anger.
Ragini got angry. She tried to free her hand but grip was very strong.
Ragini (angry): What is this Swara? Leave my hand!!
Swara was still looking at her angrily.
Ragini: wait, Oh so you came to know right? but what will you do? You can't even tell this Anyone. My poor dumb sister. But why suddenly you got angry. You are habitual of getting hurt by me right? then, what happened now my so called sister?
Suddenly she felt burning sensation on her face. Before she could do anything, she got another slap.
Ragini: Swara!!!
Swara slapped her again.
Ragini: Stop it Swara or I will shout and everyone will come.
Swara again slapped her.
Ragini was about to scream but it didn't left her mouth as she found a knife just near her neck. Swara put knife near her neck to stop her.
Ragini (fearful tone): S...s.. Swara.. Swara.... Wh... Wh..what are u doing? S.. swara put it down.. please.

Ragini: Please... Please.. leave me. I won't do anything to Arshit next time. I promise, I will stay away from him. Sorry please.. please Swara. What will you get by killing me? Please forgive me Swara.
Swara pushed her. Ragini fell on the floor and was breathing heavily. Swara take her phone and typed something then show her. Ragini don't understand Swara's sign language.
Ragini was scared and read" I m not cheap like you to kill you or can go any extent to hurt someone. I knew that you are cheap but you will use a child to hurt someone, I never thought that you will stoop so low. You did so wrong with me. Still I was silent but if you ever tried to harm Arshit then your condition will be more worst. STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!
Ragini nods being scared.
Swara delete the text and throw her phone toward her and was about to go. Ragini gets up slowly. Swara stopped in her track and come back to her qnd again slapped her hardly then go out. Ragini fell again due to force of slap.
Ragini looked at her retreating figure and thinks something.
Ragini (monologue): I will not leave you Swara. How dare you ? How dare you to slap me. You have forgotten your place. Don't worry, I will show you. I won't leave you easily. You will face the consequences of it!!!

Alive?
In the ruins of a once glorious city, a mage awakens. As the sole survivor(?) of the cataclysm that destroyed his entire species, he’s forced to adapt. While learning the intricacies of his new body, he must first carve out a place for himself in a familiar yet foreign world before he can set out to reclaim his heritage. I cannot stress this enough: the character is not human, do not expect him to react like one. I know the hand on the cover only has five finger, but I doubt I am going to find a royalty free radiography with two perfectly functional thumbs placed in a sensible way anytime soon. The rewrite is finished. Beta readers are welcomed and I am still wondering whether I should put the sci-fi tag or not.

This fiction belongs to the same universe as Ancient Blood. English is not my native language, so please don't be harsh. This story is an adaption of an idea, that we, a friend of mine and me, have developed over a few months while taking a break from learning. Some parts were written by Emberspark. Thank you for allowing me to work with your ideas and letting me publish this as a whole. Updates... I will try to frequently update both of my fictions... Well in case you are interested I post it on Scribble hub, too. I really don't steal from myself 😂
