Three days passed without a trace of him and she was hell damn worried about him.
Who knows he has eaten or not. Where was he sleeping or was he okay.

She was extremely worried.
She forgot about what Shrey was going to tell her and didn't call him back. He too got busy and wasn't able to call her.

She was sitting in the college cafeteria with her friends when Pihu came with a boy. And to everyone's surprise it was Jay.

Smiling he came towards them and sat down with them.

"Hey, Jay. You are here? Is there any other wedding?"
Maaya asked and he laughed.

"No, no. I was here for a buisness deal. Today I was going back to Mumbai so I thought I should meet you guys."

"Oh. That's a nice thing you thought."
Shrishti said and they all nodded.

Of course except Sameera. She was definitely not in the mood to talk and definitely not with Jay.

Jay was eager to talk to her but she wasn't even looking at him. He was still hopelessly in love with her.

When it was time for him to go, then only Sameera provided him some attention. It was the move from her side and she hugged him.

He was shocked but he wrapped his arms around her.

"Do you still think you like me?"
She asked and he laughed.

"I love you. I don't like you."
He said and she sighed.

"Well, that's your loss. I hope you get over this love thing soon."

Seperating she smiled at him and kept her hand out for a handshake. But instead of doing that he leaned down and kissed her cheek.

Surprising her and her friends along with the whole cafeteria.

With open mouthed she stood there just gaping at him leaving.

Then Maaya spoke.

"Two guys at a time? You really are getting a lot of attention."

Sameera laughed and flipped her braid.

"That's me for you."

It was 11:00 p.m. on the night of 20th October when she suddenly remembered about Shrey and called him.

He picked up on fifth ring and immediately was terrorized.

"Shrey he has not come back for 3 days. There's not a single trace of him."

But when Shrey heard Sameera say that, it was like his life came back.

"Oh. That's good Sameera. Let it be that way."

Sameera furrowed her brows and asked

"What are you talking dude? He's not home for three days! You understand? Three days? That day when he....... became a little violent he came back and beat the shit out of himself. How the hell am I not supposed to worry?"

She asked.

"I know Sameera. But it's for the best that he's not anywhere near you at this time."

"Don't make puzzles man. Just tell me why the hell should I not worry about this thing!"
She snapped in anger and took deep breaths.

"Calm down Samera. It's.......it's......I can't tell you."

He said and Sameera clenched her jaw.

"Oh god. I'm not a small kid that you cannot tell me. I feel it's a sensitive topic. But please, tell me. Otherwise, tell me if you have any idea where he could be?"

She asked and silence came as answer.

"Okay. I'm hanging up. I'll find him myself."

She said and a voice came.

"Today's the day he was cursed. And today is Sharad Purnima too, the full moon which heals. Both the days are together. Already he turns into some dangerous creature in those two seperate days. I don't know what will happen today. Sameera....... he's dangerous today. Not by his will, but he is........a monster. A beast."

He said and it was like her breathing stopped.

"Wha.....What? It's his....."

"Yes. It is. That's why I'm saying that stay away from him today. That'll be the best. He was doing those things so that you will not worry about him. Just..... don't go finding him anywhere."

He said but Sameera replied

"I'm sorry Shrey. But he's already here. Looking at me, peeking from the door. I can't ignore him. But I'll just keep the line on. Thanks."

Sameera said and threw her phone on the sofa with Shrey screaming at her to just stay away from Shrithik.

There was nothing unusual about Shrithik as Sameera stared into his eye.

He was standing there, peeking out off the door, looking hella drunk.

Sameera opened her arms and gestured him to come towards her.

But Shrithik didn't move.

"Come here, Shrithik."
She said in a commanding yet soft voice. Hearing her, he opened the door more and walked towards her. When he was a metre away, she sat him down on the sofa. Crouching down to his level, she scrunched her nose. He was smelling bad and so much of alcohol.

"I'll bring you some hot water. Don't move."
She said and he nodded, mesmerized by her. There was nothing in the world except for her.

As she started swaying away from him, he felt that she was leaving him. Already he has his loved ones taken from him, he cannot bear her loss.

His drink ass stood up and followed her.

Sameera just kept a bowl full of water to be heated and brought her phone to her ear.

"Yes. I'm back."

"Sameera, stay away from him. Please listen to me. Just lock him in his room, please. You and I both know that he is a lot stronger than you. Please."

He said when she felt Shrithik's hands snake around her.

She stiffened for a moment and her phone fell out of her hand.

"I told you to not move right?"

She asked and he nodded and started kissing her neck.

Squirming she pushed his head away.

"No old man. Here take this water. Drink it."
She poured the lukewarm water into a glass and turning around handed it to him.

He pushed the glass back into her hand. Sameera understood what he wanted and tsked.

Bringing the glass back to his lips she made him drink the water. While her eyes were trained on the water, his were on her. He was feeling as though she a goddess, made just for him.

He didn't even know what she was making him drink. He'll even drink poisen if she told him to.

When Sameera turned sideways to keep the glass on the counter she was pushed back to the counter with him attacking her collar bone.

He sucked it and bit it. Not caring that he was acting like an animal.

Sameera who was in a slight pain because he bit the place, pushed him away and hopped off the couter, just ready to scold him when she was again pinned to the wall with Shrithik's leg between her legs, preventing her to move.

He was now kissing and biting her neck like an animal and Sameera was feeling......... aroused.

Suddenly, he stopped and sniffed her. And then with anger filled eyes spoke

"I don't like it when you talk to any guy who likes you. I don't like his smell on you, sweetheart. Why are you hurting me like this? Why? Why did you hug him? Why?"

He asked and she instantly remembered of Jay. But was he there to see all that?

"I can't bear his smell on you. I can't. I want to mark you. I want my smell on you not his. Please. Let me mark you."

Saying this his hands slipped in her shirt. While his hands were roaming on her body his lips were kissing her just above her cleavage.

Suddenly she came to her senses and with all her might, pushed him away.

She was flushed. Wanting some fresh air she quickly moved to the balcony.

Shrithik also followed her but as soon as he was exposed to the moonlight of  the Sharad Purnima, he was in agony.

Sameera who was leaning on the railing turned around when she heard his screaming.

He was sitting on his knees, crouched, with his hands covering his ears and his lips parted wide open for the loud screams to come.

His screams and shouts of agony were deafening.

Sameera quickly slipped on her knees, and touched him to get him to look at her. Then only she could help.

But she stumbled back in terror when she saw his face.

His face was red and his eyes, they were the most petrifying. His eyes were black. Totally black. His iris and sclera both were black. Purple veins were popping out of his whole body and his teeth, they were turning like that of vampires. Blue sandy smoke was also coming out of him.

She was so petrified looking at his state that she ran back inside the kitchen. But thanks to her presence of mind she picked up her phone and called Shrey.

"Hello? What happened?"

"Shrey, oh my god. His eyes turned black, purple..... Blue smoke is coming out of him. He is, screaming. Shrey what should I do? I'm scared. I'm shit scared."

She said and heard Shrey asking her to calm down.

"Sameera first calm down and listen to me. He is healing. His invisibility is healing. The moonlight is trying to heal him. But he cannot be healed like that and it's the only reason why his eyes and everything are so changed. H-"

"Oh don't tell me why all this is happening. Tell me how should I stop it. What should I do? He is in so much pain."
She asked panicked and Shrey nodded.

"Cover him up. Don't let him in the direct moonlight. I don't know how you are gonna do that but cover him up. Yo-"

"Okay. Bye."

"Sameera!"

"Yes?"

"Don't be scared. He'll not hurt you. Now go."
Saying this he hung up and Sameera ran inside her bedroom. His screams were really deafening her.

She took her biggest blanket and ran in the balcony to find him lying on the ground with his skin turned red as in blood red.

She ran towards him and instantly covered him with that blanket.

And with that blanket she was also on top of him.

She watched as his eyes slowly took their original colour and his skin regained it's colour too.

His tired eyes looked at her and now she literally was his savior.

"Sw-sweetheart."
He whispered and she was instantly on alert. Her face was already just inches away from hers.

"We should go inside. Come on. Stand up. I'll be covering you."

She said and slipped out of the covers. Then wrapping him in the covers she spoke.

"Now get up."

He did as said and Sameera led him in the house. Pulling down the blinds she uncovered him.

He was looking as if he'll faint any second. And Sameera can literally not handle his 6'2' frame which is definitely more than 70 kg.

"Let's get you to the bed."

She said and held his hand. He was just obeying her as he cannot do anything else.

Sameera made him lay on the bed and covered him with a duvet. Then running her hand on his tired face she said softly,

"You sleep. I'm going in my room as I have some work to do. If you need anything, call me. Okay?"
She asked and he nodded.

Giving him a last smile, which prevented his inner demons to surface, she went out of the room.

Calling Shrey, she spoke

"I've tucked him to the bed. He was hell damn tired. And now he's normal."

Shrey released a breath and spoke
"Thank god. I was so worried about him. Call me in the morning and tell me the status. My exam is going to begin and I can't talk to you anymore."

"Yeah. Sure. Good luck. Bye."

"Bye."
