                 ARJUN 


I rushed to the building where Father and mother were, and I saw the people running helter-skelter.


I saw Niran starting at the building also.


"Niran! Is father out?" I asked him and he shook his head.


"I don't know Arjun. I took Hana and the rest as soon as I could." He said and my eyes widened.


"Father! Mother!" We both called but we got no response.


"We need to quench this fire! They may be in there." I said in a shaky voice trying so hard not to cry.


"There is nothing we can use to quench the fire. No water around." Niran said fearfully.


"What do we do! Father and mother are still in there." I said feeling so confused.


"I would go in," Niran said and I shook my head. 


"No! I won't let you kill yourself." I said holding him back.


"They would die if we don't help." He said.


"And you will die if you go in there. Death becomes three." I stated and then we heard the sticks used to cover the house crack and fall to the ground loudly as the fire kept burning widely.


"No!" I yelled in tears knowing I had lost my parents already. Instead of feeling cool in the rain, I felt very hot. 


Suddenly, I saw a figure walking out of the fire. It staggered out and we realized it was Dad.


"Father!" We both called and we rushed to where he was.


Suddenly he fell to the wet ground and when we got to him, we saw he has burnt already.


His clothes were damaged, and his skin very black.


"Father hold on. We would help you." I said touching him and he screamed.


"I couldn't help your mother. She is dead." He said and more tears rolled down my eyes.


"Father don't talk too much. You need your strength." Niran said in a shaky voice.


"Kill me! This pain is too much. I won't survive so kill me." He said gasping for breath and we shook our heads.


"No! We are not killing you! We will save you!" I said and he grabbed my hand in pain.


"I need you to kill me! If you don't, you are making me suffer! I know I haven't been a good father, but please don't repay me by not killing me. I would gladly join your mother where she is, so kill me!" He yelled and I busted into tears like a baby.


Niran stood up and I looked at him as he pulled out his arrow and bow in tears.


"Niran don't!" I said crying heavily and he raised the bow pointing it at father.


"I am sorry Father." He said and shut his eyes. He released the arrow and it hit father right in the chest.


"No!" I yelled as he released his grip on my hand and shut his eyes dead.


"Why did you do it!" I mumbled in tears.


"I can't take it seeing him suffer. That was the only help, he wasn't going to survive it Arjun." He said. 


Though I understood him, it was just too much to take in. 


I got up, with my feet wobbling under the heavy downpour.


"I need to find Akira," I said cleaning my eyes.


"I would come with you!" He said and I shook my head.


"You should help the others." I declared and he insisted.


"No Arjun. I put them in a safe place already. But we have no idea where Akira is, so I am coming with you." He told and I nodded.


"Let's go," I said grabbing a burning stick using it as a source of light.


                   AKIRA 


"Somebody help!!" I yelled looking up but everywhere was dark. Just the lightning gave me light once in a while. 


The pit I was kept getting full as the downpour increased drastically. 


The water got to my knees and I couldn't stop crying. 


"Is this how I am going to die?" I asked myself looking up. Another lighten came and I saw nor heard no one. Just the beating of the rain on the trees and grasses.


"Oh God help me. I can't die with this baby inside of me." She prayed silently. 


"Help me please!!" She yelled again as she grew weak every passing minute. 


The water was drawing her weight and soon she felt it right on her belly button.


She tried looking for any holes where she could hold and climb up, but it was all too slippery. 


She stopped trying and then lost all hope.


"I love you Arjun." She mumbled in tears. 


Soon she began to hear distinct voices, this time the water was around her neck already. It was like the rain was in support of the evil they planned.


"Akira!" She heard Arjun call as they drew closer to where she was.


"Arjun!" I called but I don't think he heard me, because he kept calling out to me.


I began to drown because I don't know how to swim. 


"Arjun! I called in fear raising my hand and trying to swim but I couldn't. I was too weak for that.


"Akira!" He yelled again, but when I wanted to answer the water covered my head, and I couldn't say a word anymore.


             KATIKA 


I paced in my chamber waiting for the call from the men I paid to do the job.


"Are you sure you are okay?" Mei asked me looking at me suspiciously.


"I am fine," I responded but she stood up and walked up to me.


"I have been with you for more than two weeks now, and I know when you are fine, and you are not." She said holding my hands and I hugged her.


"I would tell you everything," I said and she nodded. I was about to proceed when a call came into my phone.


I picked it in haste and it happened to be the leader of the team.


"The job is perfected." He said and I breathed out in relief.


"They are all dead?" I further asked.


"They should be." He replied.


"I need a sure and perfect answer. Go back and find out!" I yelled cutting off the call.


"Who are they killing? What's going on?" Mei asked and I wrapped my hands around her waist.


"We just got rid of all our enemies," I said happily and she furrowed her brows.


"What enemies!" Mei asked.


"Maeko's people of course," I said and she went lost in thoughts.


"Aren't you happy? You should be happy for me " I said and she smiled faintly.


"You didn't tell me about this. Why?" She asked.


"Because I wanted to surprise and impress you," I responded hugging her with a large grin on my face.
