And here we are with another episode! This is most likely where it all ended only to begin again. Hoping I could do somewhere near justice to this chapter, hope you guys like it ;)


You ask me what you're missing? 

I'll tell you, just read the first word......

The angel smiles at the sisters "I guess you girls made me what I hate being the most, INDECISIVE " she emphasized on the last word to which Swarali smirked replying "We thought we made it crystal clear that we are sister's and not competitor's "

The angel nodded saying "But every conquest has to have an end as it can't go on forever" she shrugged her shoulders. 

Piyali looked at her with hope asking "So you've got the winner, right?"

"Yes!" the three sisters hold each other's hands together for one last time as the angel announces " so the winner is...."

Scene Change:

"Impossible! That's what these sisters can be" a frustrated Lakshya bangs his hand onto the tree's trunk. 

"Ironical!" Sanskar spoke sardonically "You realized it so soon my friend".

"There's just one way now" Uday's words grab the boy's attention now as he spells "AH-par-EE-see-um" they watch the roads now have foot marks on them clearly visible.

Uday smiles "You guys still have me, remember?" he brushed his hair with his left hand and flashed his wand that he held in his right stating "the wizard !" 

Sanskar nodded, his face expressions clearly showing relief "If it weren't for you, lucky really thought the three sisters flew on their broom or something." 

Laksh looks at him weirdly, Uday mirrors his look for a moment not being able to keep shut anymore he exclaims "Dude! I told you it isn't a tv series or something" he knocks on Sanskar's forehead lightly "remember?"

Lakshya smirks "give him a chance dude, he's a vampire after all" the other two look at him as he mocks "His brain must be frozen, the cold-blooded creature you see. Or, maybe non-existent perhaps, who knows?"

Sanskar feigned a smile slowly flashing his dentals "My gums itch, suddenly my frozen brain seems to sense some warm animal blood, I wonder why?"

Scene change:

"Swaragya..." The angel smiles evilly as the sister's look at her confused

"Now who the hell is Swaragya?" Swarali snaps "she didn't even answer your questions!"

The angel this time repeats a bit slower "Swa-Rag-Ya" and the sisters stared at her dumbfounded. She rolls her eye's "Come on, don't be so dumb you witches!"

Piyali looks at her and starts laughing hysterically, both Rageshwari and Swarali pout at her "Can we know what the joke was?" they exclaim in unison.

"Okay.." she clutches her stomach and tries controlling her laughter. She breathes in looking back at the angel she says "Thy Akatosh trust me and take this advice of mine, just as my brother sucks at giving emotional sympathy, you suck at making abbreviations. It was something done at a really wrong time " and she then turns towards her sisters replying " Swa is for Swarali, Rag is for Rageshwari and Ya is for Piyali."

Rageshwari hits herself as Swarali looks at thy Akatosh "Seriously? Who the hell made you thy Akatosh?" she stares at the angel in utter disbelief.

Something does not go down well with Rageshwari as she interrupts "But wait" she looks at the angel confused "how can there be three winners and just one Akatosh?"

"Exactly" Thy Akatosh claps in the air as the amulet appears, it shines the brightest in the sky and poof!

The sisters get blinded by the sudden light but then as they open their eyes, its gone. Rageshwari and Swarali frown to find nothing but then they notice Piyali. The amulet now rests in her hands, as she stares at it shocked, eyes wide open the angel smiles "Your the intelligent one, split it up into three and enjoy".

"bu.." Piyali looks up to find no one, "Where'd she go?" 

Swarali snatches the amulet from Piyali's hands "till you find a way to split" she wears it  "it stays with me."

"I.." Piyali tries saying something but Swarali interrupt's her "What?" Piyali is at a loss for words as Swarali mimics her "I thought you changed Jiji, I thought you loved me" Swarali makes a puppy face "and now you want me to split?" her voice overdramatic.

"No!" Rageshwari pulls Swarali in her direction "You want a bad bitch, right?" she smiles "I'll show you, how it goes now!" she pulls the amulet so hard that it rips off from Swarali's neck, bruising her. Swarali is in for a complete surprise as droplets of blood make their way down her neck. Her eyes now wide open as she glares at Rageshwari growling "GIVE IT BACK TO ME!"

Rageshwari pays no heed to her and rather throws it in the air whipping out her wand from her waistband she points it towards the Amulet in mid-air spelling "AH-ley-Ya-Salvo" the amulet gets caught in flames as it lands on the ground. 

Swarali tries to run towards it but Rageshwari swiftly rushes to hold her back, as Swarali fights in her grip, she does not let her go.

Piyali takes a few steps towards it and finds it unscathed, she flicks her wand the instant spelling "AR-they-las-MOn" and it creates a huge force, the amulet jumps of the ground along with dust and mud, sparks fly, yet no signs of destruction. 

The amulet is in mid air as Swarali succeeds in pushing Rageshwari off her, she yells towards the amulet screaming "No!!"

Rageshwari turns to Piyali who nods and the duo flicks their wands together spelling "AH-Men-so-Phathom!" 

The amulet bursts into pieces and creates a huge flash of green light, unnoticed by the other two sisters a piece hits straight into Swarali, right into her chest. It's pierced into her so hard that she starts bleeding, the piece is stuck onto her chest but the pain seems not to fathom her at all.

Rageshwari and Piyali are now on the ground, feeling completely drained of their powers. They somehow manage to sit up, supporting each other, and find Swarali sobbing. 

Swarali falls on the ground looking at the amulet which is now turned into ashes, her hands try to have a hold on them, and the tighter her grip gets, the more the ashes slip out of her hands.

She starts crying bitterly, as she opens her hands there's nothing left there, a few drops of her tears fall onto her palms. She wipes her face and winces in pain as her head hurts, her hands start shivering as she tries removing the amulet piece that was stuck into her.

Piyali watches as Rageshwari let's go her hand and rushes to Swarali's aid. 

"Wait" Swarali looks up at her as she nods and slowly her right hands reach Swarali's chest "Look at me Jiji, just.. " she holds onto the piece "look!" and she swiftly pulls out the piece making Swarali wince a little.

Rageshwari's fingers are covered in Swaralis blood, so is the piece of that amulet. Her face goes pale at the sight of blood, not able to see it anymore she just throws it away. The piece shines brightly on the ground, Piyali watches her sisters from a distance not knowing what to do or say. 

Swarali closes her eyes as a few more tears make their way, her right hand slowly reaches her waistband. Rageshwari not able to bear any more, hug her sister tightly, and starts crying. 

She opens her mouth to utter a word but then inhales sharply, her jaw hung open as Swarali opens her eyes, her lips curved up "Hurts, doesn't it?" she pushes Rageshwari back whose eyes go wide at the sight of Swarali's now blood-covered hand, that held the same bloody knife.

Swarali smiles at her plunging the knife back into Rageshwari's abdomen, " Ah!" she inhales again, her eyes red and moist as Swarali smirks slowly twisting the knife causing more blood to ooze out. 

"I loved you little sister, but then you did not love me back enough" Swarali pulled out the knife, her left hand slowly reaches the knife's blade, it's index finger resting on the tip "did you?"

Rageshwari looks at her shell shocked, tears flowing through her eye's emotionless as she falls on the ground her body limp and lifeless eyes open staring at the sky. A tear trips down and falls on the ground as she whispers his name "Sanskar..."

Piyali's in a trance looking at her sister's condition, one breathing her last while the other being the reason for her last breath. Her brain ceases to work, as tears of blood make their way down her eyes. 

"Ooh!" Swarali exclaims "now I know how you came back alive!" she cocks her right brow up "or should I say dead?"

Piyali touches her cheeks and then looks back at her hands, her eyes go wide as she recognizes the red liquid "blood... "

"Ah! So smart!" Swarali jumps up pointing the bloody knife in her direction "You deserve a prize for that wonderful answer littlest sister!"

Swarali's left hand reaches her neck as if trying to grab something "Oh wait!" she makes a sad face "that prize doesn't really exist anymore, all thanks to you two! Ahh! you deserve an, even more, better price" her eyes go red and deadly as she yells "FOR DESTROYING THE ONLY PRIZE!"

Piyali shakes her head "When did you become like this Jiji?" she asks, disappointment and sadness clearly evident in her voice "why so much love for an inhumane heartless object? Why so much hatred towards the sister who literally spent her whole life babysitting you, caring for you?" her eyes now on Rageshwari, "Is this what she deserved for being always besides you?"

She turned around to found Swarali casually mouthing her exact words. Not being able to take anymore she snatches the knife from her hand. Swarali looks down at her hand, now weaponless, covered all in blood, her own sister's blood.

Piyali places the knife's blade over her wrist "You want this right?" she slits it open and the blood starts oozing from her hand.

Swarali looks at her wide-eyed, taking a step backward as she uttered in pain "This is what you want right? Unnecessary bloodshed" she grabs the knife with her now bloodied hand and slit's her another wrist open " I'll bleed myself to death, only if I could Jiji!" she yells.

Swarali stumbles back on something "For God's sake! if death's what you want, go kill yourself first because until and unless we breathe our last together" she emphasizes the last word "none of us die's." 

Swarali just stares at her shocked, tears blurring her vision as her sister laughs.

"Unbelievable, right?" Piyali laugh's sadly "well all thanks to Mom, we are born with a charm, a boon that unites us. Well, a curse for you, the evil sadistic bitch that you have evolved into, but anyways... " 

Piyali lifts the knife and stabs herself "Ughh, stupid vampire blood that heals!" she yells out loud frustrated and Swarali closes her eye's in fear.

Piyali throws away the knife spitting out blood she yells at Swarali " GO!" 

Piyali holds her left hand out and the wand flies back into her palm, as she grips onto it " Die before one of us come's back to life" she shakes her head "as this Jiji, won't end until there's a new beginning, a fresh new start to all that we are leaving behind" another blood tear makes its way "unfinished... " she turns her back towards Swarali.

Swarali stands there dumbfounded, she opens her right palm and the bloodied knife flies back into it. She finds her reflection on the blood-covered knife, "I... " emotions surface her eyes as regret and guilt settles in. The blood of her own sisters, that's oddly settled on the knife's blade flashes back everything, every moment, every dreadful sin that she had committed. 

All for just one tiny lifeless thing, that did not even exist anymore. And with it also perished the relationships, the love, the emotions, each and everything that she had earned and valued all her life now ceased to exist anymore.

"I'm... " she hears a crack and looks up at her sister "Piyu- "

Piyali looks down at her wand now broken into two halves and smiles sadly "Just do not forget that we love you, no matter what." She holds both the pieces together in her left hand "And whenever we come back to this point of our lives, just promise me" she aims the crooked end of the broken wand halves to her chest "Promise me you won't hate yourself, because this is not who you are" tear trips down her cheek "this is not our Jiji who always was there for us and whatever happened you are" she stabs right into heart and Swarali grasps in shock "not responsible for this... " she falls on the ground, her body color slowly fading, her veins all over body now visible and slowly turning purple.

Swarali walks back, her eyes not leaving her sister "We all are in this together Jiji..." Piyali smiles "and this end of ours... is just another way to our New Beginning..." 


I wish I could turn back the clock. I'd find you sooner and love you longer...

The boys reach the place and are in a trance as they find a blood trail. 

Piyali spits out blood and tries to get up, her eyes just focussed on an unconscious Rageshwari. Another blood tear trip's down her eye and falls to the ground,  her eyes close shut as she loses balance and falls back.

Uday rushes there just in time to hold her in his arms "Princess!" he panics "I've got you, hang in there okay?" 

Piyali smiles caressing his face "Uday..." she tries getting up as he hold's her worried replying "Yes princess." 

She looks at him through her tears, "I fell in love with you" she smiles "Not for how you look" she shakes her head lightly "just for who you are. " 

"Although you look pretty great too" she whispers. 

Uday chuckles "If I could give you one thing in life" she points her index finger at him cutely "I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eye's, only then would you realize how special you are to me..." as she points her finger back at herself, he shakes his head.

"Princess" he exclaims "you could make me listen to all your talks when I get you out of here safe and alive, till then just shut up and let me do that first." He tries to lift her up but she stops him "No Uday!" she does not budge "this has to end. Remember what your mum used to tell during the initial day's of our practice?" 

Piyali smiles at him with all the energy that she has left within her "Every beautiful story has to end somewhere so that it has an even more beautiful beginning and a forever the next time..."

Sanskar looks at Rageshwari whose now in his arms, he shakes her trying to wake her up but she does not. He hugs her tightly as a tear falls through his eye and rests on Rageshwari's cheek.

Her fingers move as the cold liquid touches her, she open's her eyes slowly and her lips curve up at his sight "You have no idea how fast my heart races when I see you, you Idiot!" 

Sanskar opens his eyes and looks at her as a smile spreads across his face "I still get butterflies even though I've seen you a hundred times." She laughs a little which makes him smile even more and "since when did you become so philosophical?"

Rageshwari made a face "When I got to know that it's the last time of my this life that I would be talking to you" she lifts her right hand up and wipes his tear. Sanskar instantly holds her hand back and plants a soft kiss on it " You're not gonna leave me. I won't let that happen" he holds onto her hand so tightly, as if his entire life depended on it.

"No Sanskar" she shakes her head lightly wincing in pain "this has to happen for the beginning that we always needed and this time I promise you" she looks into his eyes "it would be a forever..."

Lakshya is still behind the footsteps which lead him to the portion's chamber, the door is slightly open so he pushes it and smiles widely as his eyes meet hers "Swarali!"

Swarali smiles through her tears as the quilt automatically writes in her diary that's placed right in front of her on the platform. She tries to get up from her seat but stumbles. Lakshya rushes to her exclaiming "Be careful!" 

As he holds her, she smiles clutching on to his shirt tightly. Her hands a bloody mess, as she tries to get a grip on his shirt, messing it up in the process. Lakshya holds onto her hands, as he looks at her palms and wrist his eyes go wide open in shock "Swarali! Why are you all wounded? What the hell happened?" he starts panicking looking around for something "we gotta do something, it must be hurting, where are your stupid bush things that heal?"

Swarali smiles smacking on to his chest "Herbs!"

"Yeah sure, we'll have that banter once you stop looking like a tempting snack to that cold-blooded creature, okay?"

She holds onto his hands that are shaking really badly "Not at all okay! Okay?"

His eyes now moist "Don't! Don't do this!" he shakes his head as she smiles sadly "I deserve this Lakshya, I deserve this after all that I did."

He tries to speak but she does not let him "I killed my own sisters not once but twice, I made the other once kill herself! I perfectly played the role of a witch with B."

A tear tripped down her eye as he placed her hand onto his chest "I deserve even worse but I guess that's not exactly possible, not in this birth" she winced in pain but held onto his thumb, she could feel his heartbeat, "Just... " she gulped in "I just want to be with you right now, not anyone else. Maybe partly because you are the only person whose love I never betrayed, whose heart I never broke and whose life I never took." 

She sobs "Promise me that no matter what you'll find my sister's as soon as possible and keep them safe. Please Lakshya..." 

He nods as she smiles through her tears "I never wanted to be your whole life, just the favourite part."

Lakshya looks at her trying to hold back his tears as she continues "You have to believe... that there are Kisses... and laughter... and risks like me worth taking..."

He laughs "You make me happy in a way, no one can and ever could..." His eyes meet hers for one last time as she takes his name "Lakshya..." and he hugs her tightly, the silence surrounding them.

"Don't you want to meet your sister for the last time, Princess?" Uday asks a smiling Piyali who replies "She's with someone who deserves her last few moment's and so are you." She smiles closing her eyes as a final tear trips down her now frozen and cold body, Uday leans down and kisses her forehead closing his eyes he whispers "I love you, Princess... "

"So... no last words Mr. Dead meat?"

He chuckles "you've never been familiar with the term death bed, have you?" she shakes her head "I want my experiences... " she winces and his heart skips a beat "to be exclusive, why did you ... think I fell in love with you-  Ouw!" 

"Easy!" he scolded her and she made a face "Don't scold a dying woman... " she coughed out blood "or her ghost will haunt yea!"

She coughed more "Just hold me closer to where I belong... Please... "  Sanskar takes Rageshwari into an embrace, his cold body gave her heart the warmth and peace she always lingered for.  

He felt like his heart would explode any moment as she breathed near it whispering"Every Love story is beautiful but our's is my favorite... "

Every emotion withing him ceased to exist as he felt her breathe her last, six lives lost that day. 

Death took away three

And Life took away the other three

One promise left unfulfilled though, 

"A PROMISE TO LOVE EACH OTHER FOREVER, EVERY SINGLE DAY OF FOREVER..."
