It's a trap..

Continuing from previous part:-

King Laksh look at the chessboard understanding Ragini's move she can easily give him checkmate . Ragini lean back in her chair with a small winning smirk say  'if you want time to think your next move you take tell me your story after this game'   but laksh take one more sip from wine glass and reply 'my next move is in my story my lady so to know it you have to hear it'.

Ragini got more puzzled with his answer and he continue his story

'So seven people come in castle to try their luck and enjoy royalties and i one of them . Through many think I'm an arrogant kind of person but in reality i have a heart of gold which bleeds for poor and weak people—'   Ragini cut him off in middle say 'yeah a heart of gold which feed on people blood'  she expect him to get angry on her but he give his charming smile instead saying 'my lady please let me finish my story you can pass your judgment afterwards'   she hmm in response and he continue.

'Seven people come to castle one old man , a teenage boy, one couple, one man with his daughter , one more guy and lastly I myself.  Castle doors open by a beautiful women who invite us all in and upon entering in we saw how beautifully castle was decorated surrounded with lights lots of food on table and two more women dancing in middle for festival.
The woman who welcomed us say  'welcome my dear guests I'm pleased to have you all here through i thought more people be accompanying us today but unfortunately the rumours scared them too much anyways you people began your treat' .
All of us look at each other before the old man ask her  'how can we began without king ! Isn't he the one who start the feast?' his question is valid.

'King is busy in some work he'll be joining us tomorrow night but he wants you all to enjoy as he believes in great hospitality so enjoy' saying so she go upstairs leaving us in hall . One of the guy out of us go towards table and take food eating it while the old man shouts at him 'you fool it could be a trap to kill us' the little girl held her father's hand more tightly hearing it hiding behind him , teenage boy galp hearing old man and the couple look at each other with fare but that guy say 'nah it's just food besides aren't we here to experience royalty and i don't know about any of you but i was starving in village working day&night hard still didn't get the money to afford this kind of delicious food now I'm going to eat as much as I want you all don't want it it's up to you' he drink some wine too saying that and the couple move towards table taking some food ate it they take a breath of relief as the food is completely fine seeing them teenage boy too join with father daughter dou old man look at me and i too join the feast after all that's why I'm here . All of us introduced ourselves to each other built up guy name is raaka teenage boy is baablu then come couple geeta and kishori father and daughter names are vidhu and mala also mala can't speak old man name is madan  i too introduce myself to all and madan kaka ask me  'you didn't look poor at all there is a charm in you like those royal kings and princes have'  decided to tell them my true self  I say  'cause I'm not poor king of this castle is my friend he invited me for festival and i decided to join all you as common man so that you guys don't feel uncomfortable and inferior around me besides we all are guests here so let's forget about our backgrounds for some time and enjoy'  he nods and all of us eat .  Raaka got drunk and start close dancing with dancers girls but they push him and go away in castle he try to go after them but dropped on floor in drunken state so no one bothered to wake him up and start exploring the castle vidhu took out a small book from his bag start writing something in it while mala sat beside him eating sweets  I ask him  'you are literate !' 
He nods replying me  'yes and my daughter too I'm a ved(doctor)' .
'So why you come here with your daughter didn't you hear the rumours about this castle?'  I ask to which he say  'I'm not rich to provide these things for myself and my daughter and village isn't in good condition either dying in lavish castle is better than dying on road from starvation' . 

Kaka look at us and say  'dying due to starvation is the biggest fear for us poor you don't know the meaning of hunger the helpless the need to feed'   he taunted me expecting me to react angrily but i with calm tone say  'trust me kaka no one more then me knows the meaning of hunger here and how to control it' .   Babblu took a wine glass and say  'so why to control yourself just feed' he try to drink wine but kaka stopped him as he is not mature enough for wine taking it from his hand kaka gulped it down himself.  I smirk and say  'I will boy i will feed' .

Geeta slowly steal some silver spoons and bowls while eating hiding it in saare's potali kishori try to stop her fear of being caught by king or any of us but even he knows they won't get a chance like this again so he let her do what she wants .

Raaka come back in his senses and stood up going out hall maybe to explore the castle or steal something. He was roaming when we heard his scream and go towards the way his scream came from on that place we see raaka's dead body ..

Who kill him ?

That women(Rasika) who welcomed us too come there along with the dancers girls and everybody try to figure out who kill raaka .

Kaka say in fear 'king kill him he invited us all to give us as sacrifice he took first sacrifice by killing raaka' . Others got scared listening him but I know king won't do it 'oh come on i know king very well he won't do it he isn't mad just left alone in his family line killer is someone else' .
Rasika agree with me 'yeah king isn't even in castle right now he'll reach here by tomorrow someone else kill him maybe anyone from you people' .
Vidhu protest 'but why anyone of us kill him we don't have any enmity with him' She question back 'then who kill him there is no one else apart from you people here' .

My eyes fell on a close door I try to open it but she stop me saying 'there is someone special of king in this room no one allowed in' I got angry and say 'but I'm king's friend not any ordinary guest' she still stop me 'I know sir but king ordered me to not let anyone in' .

I still feel killer is in this room but didn't argue with her further.

In night I was thinking about the killer rest are sleeping when Geeta come to me she ask  'sir you are not sleeping are there other arrangements for you to sleep better than ours !'

'No no I just doesn't feel like sleeping'  i say

She sat in front of me dropping her palu a little asking in seductive tone ' you want something else'   she thought my eyes are on her cleavage but little did she know my eyes are on her neck a hunger for blood awake in me i feel to ripe her neck and drink blood  but i need to control so i say  'you don't have anything which i want so save it for others' saying so i got up leaving her behind..

In morning we are greeted with another dead body this time it's geeta's..——

'Wait a minute so you saying you were invited in your friend's castle with those six and two of them are killed by someone !'  Ragini ask Laksh all puzzled.

'Yes' comes his reply

She ask him  'how's that even possible no one in my knowledge other than shivraj knows about you so how come you are friends with any other king also how I am connected to this story you are telling me ?'

Laksh say 'you are connected to story just like you are connected to this chess game I give you check' .

Ragini look down on chess board not understanding how this happened 'what how I was winning this game i gave you check how you take out my all pawns ?' she look at laksh who smirk at her she stood up try to remember 'from how long we are playing this chess game ?'

'From hours what happened you don't remember my lady perhaps some wine help you want some !' He ask her showing her wine glass which wine look thicker than usual.

Ragini with cracking voice ask him 'you told me you don't drink'

'Wine yes I don't drink wine' Laksh reply.

She backed up trying to go away from him ask 'it's blood right you—-you are drinking my blood that's why i don't remember things withdrawal of blood cause me this' .

Laksh stood up with amazed smile and say to her 'wow ragini you impressed me i never thought i would ever met a woman like you' coming towards her while she backed away 'you have courage, intelligence, wit you are a complete woman the one who i wanted the one who i crave your blood is like the best wine and one shouldn't finish best wine in one go it should be taken slow enjoying every sip of it I'm doing that only taking you slowly slowly' .

Tear drop from her eyes and he wipe it off with his thumb asking her 'ragini do you understand how you are connected to story who is it in that locked room ragini do you know?'

Her voice break when she say 'I—I am I'm in that lock room it's a trap for me' .

He crease her hairs say proudly 'my my you solved half of the puzzle let's see how you got trapped in that room and labelled as killer shall we' .....
