The Demon girls and Nandini were sitting in a dark place but yet a beautiful one. This is the girls' secret place. Whenever they come to their world from the human world for some vacation, they used to hang out in this place. But, they stopped meeting once the Demon girls got their mates as Nandini was their secret friend.

Nandini ( frowned ): How did you come here..?

Anaisha ( chuckled ): They ditched their mates..

Navya ( glared ): Shut up, you bitchy Ann..We didn't ditch them..

Anaisha ( coolly ): Yeah right..

Soha( glared ): Stupid, we told them we wanted to be with Nan..

Nandini ( raised her eyebrow ): And, they had no problem..?

Naina ( grinned ): Fortunately, No..

Nandini ( surprised ): That's something unbelievable. Did they just forget that I was an Angel..?

Anaisha: Nah, maybe they like you.

Nandini ( confused ): And, why would they like me..?

Soha ( grinned ): Cause, you are adelfós' mate..

Nandini ( coolly): Yeah right, Come on Soh..I am an Angel for them..

Anaisha ( pouted ): Baby, don't forget your identity..At least, we know who you are..

Nandini ( played along ): Oh really..? Would you mind me introducing myself..?

Naina ( angry ): Shut up, you two. Don't you know its a secret..You both are just being kids..And, if you don't understand why they agreed us to meet you then ask them by yourself when they come here..

Nandini: Yeah, yeah..fine..wait..Did you just say " when they come here " ?

Naina ( casually ): Yeah..

Nandini ( shocked ): You mean, they are coming here..?

Navya ( annoyed ): What's wrong with you..Can't you understand simple English..? They said, they won't send us alone..

Nandini ( angry ): Damn, why didn't you tell me..?

Soha ( confused ): But, what's wrong in it..?

Nandini ( glared ): How will I sit in between those demons..?

Anaisha ( irritated ): Dude, did you just forget you are Half Demon..And upon that..Your mate is also coming..

Nandini ( sarcastically ): Oops Baby, I just forgot that..Thanks for reminding..

Anaisha ( raised her collars ): Its okay..Why am I for then..?

Nandini threw a cushion on Anaisha, for which she pouted at her..

Nandini ( annoyed ): He is the main reason why I don't want to be with your Demon mates or brothers..

Navya ( excited ): You know, we love to irritate you..

Soha ( winked ): And, we are going to enjoy it to the fullest..

Nandini glared at them..

Anaisha ( sighed ): Its fine, Nan.adelfós wont irritate you in front of us, we are his sisters.

Nandini ( nodded ): Fine..But, I will break his nose if he tries any kind of pranks on me..

The girls chuckled at her..

Voice: Hey Beauties..

They turned to find the Weasley boys and it was Cabir who greeted them. The girls too greeted them back. Nandini didn't turn, she just said Hi but then suddenly she noticed her dress..

Nandini ( whispered ): Holy crap..My tattoo..

She cast a spell and soon her neck and chest were covered with a scarf and a cap to match with her dress. By that time, the boys have occupied seats in front of them..

The girls suddenly looked at her wide opened mouth seeing a cap and a scarf around her chest and neck when it wasn't present before.

Cabir ( frowned ): Are you feeling cold Nandini..?

Nandini ( kept her forefinger on her forehead ): No..why do you think so..?

Cabir ( coolly ): You are wearing a shrug and a cap..So I just got a doubt..

Nandini ( bit her lips ): Um..nothing..Its not so important..

Nandini ( mind linked Navya ): I am seriously gonna kill you if her ask one more question..

Navya chuckled but then maintained to keep a stern face..

Navya: Cabir, how does it matter if she wears them or not..Let her be..

Cabir ( smiled ): Fine..I was just curious..

Manik was just staring at Nandini. He was finding something fishy in her behavior. And, she was aware of his gaze..

Arya: So, what's up..?

Anaisha ( grinned ): We are sitting close to sky as its just 10 feet difference between us and Sky so I don't think I can say sky is up..

Arya ( sarcastically ): Really..? I didn't know..

Anaisha ( pissed ): Seriously..? Why the hell are you a demon..?

Manik ( glared ): Enough you both, girls..if you are done with your chit chat, can we leave then..?

Navya ( pouted ): No adelfós, we just started..

Manik ( annoyed ): What's there to talk this much..?

Nandini just sighed in disbelief..

Maddy ( calmly ): Manik, let them enjoy..

Manik just nodded. He turned to Nandini who was doing something on a canvas board. Abhi noticed Manik staring at Nandini, he smiled and looked at Cabir who was also staring at the new mates..They smirked at each other..

Abhi: Nandini..

Nandini ( looked at Abhi ): Yeah..

Abhi ( smiled ): May I know, what is that in your hand..?

Nandini ( smiled): Oh, its nothing..Humans use it to paint..They call it canvas board..

Manik was glaring at Abhimanyu. He didn't like the way Abhi addressed Nandini and the way she smiled at him to reply..One should address his brothers' mate as adelfí ( sister ), if they need to address her by name then they need their brother's permission..

Manik ( thought ): She never smiled at me and here she is all smiley at my brother..

Cabir ( smirked ): Why don't you show it to us, your mate desperately wanted to have a look at it..

Manik glared at Cabir while Nandini understood he was teasing them..

Nandini ( smirked ): If he'd wanted to see it then he would have taken it from me..

Weasleys sat with zipped mouths..

Arya ( shocked ): Whoa..you really know him well..

Nandini ( coolly ): Well, your brother is someone with only impulsiveness and impulsiveness..

Manik ( glared ): Oh really..? Then you are someone with only stubbornness and stubbornness..

Nandini ( smirked ): I think its a plus point, only then I could win over you, every time..

Manik ( pissed ): What the..

Abhi ( pissed ): Guys, let it be..stop fighting like cats and dogs..

Soha ( nodded ): Exactly, Nan..just show it to them..

Nandini ( sighed ): All right..

She kept the canvas board on the grass and the boys took it and had a look at it..They got mesmerized..

Nandini ( nervously ): It isn't that good. I am not a pro in painting..

Abhi ( shocked ): Are you serious..? This is freaking beautiful..

Arya ( surprised ): Exactly, its something related to greenery..

Anaisha ( sighed ): She is really fond of them..I really don't know why does she find it so beautiful..?

Nandini ( smiled ): Of course, they are the most beautiful. Don't you see it's color..Can you find something much beautiful than flowers in this world..?

Manik ( thought ): Your smile..

Cabir ( smiled ): I don't know much about flowers..But, these kids..Any connection..I mean, painters always find some or the other connected to each other..

Nandini ( smiled ): Nothing like that, its just..A portrait of a sister and a brother..I love my brothers a lot..

They smiled at her..

She took her board back and in the mean time, her scarf slid down which was noticed by Manik. Before he could voice it out, he saw the tattoo..

Manik ( gasped + whispered ): Our tattoo..

He had the same tattoo which is on his back. He always admires it through the mirror. He never allowed it to get noticed in anyone's eyes as he finds it special and also confusing because it had a golden figure. But, since when he got to know about Nandini being his mate, he understood the golden figure was an Angel..

Nandini hasn't noticed it yet as she was busy in talking with her friends. He wanted to touch it and so he mind linked her " Urgent. Behind the tree. Don't disagree " He signaled Cabir to handle the situation and got up and hid behind the tree.

Nandini ( thought with a sigh ): I really don't know what his problem is..

Nandini mind linked Anaisha " Ann, just handle our babies..I need to go, I will be back in 5 "..Anaisha got confused but then nodded at her while Nandini swiftly moved from there and reached the tree where Manik was hiding..

Nandini ( annoyed ): Now, what..?

He pulled her by waist shocking her to the core..

Nandini: What the..Manik..

Manik ( kept his finger on her lips ): Shh..

He caressed the tattoo which was visible out and that was when she noticed her scarf wasn't covering the whole part..He removed the scarf..

Nandini: Manik..

He caressed the tattoo softly and she held his shoulders tightly..

Manik ( whispered ): Its beautiful..

He bent towards the tattoo and kissed it.

Nandini ( helplessly ): Manik..please..let me go..

He stared in her eyes and saw some kind of emotion which he can't read. She got rid of his hold and was about to go when he pulled her again and her back hit his chest..

Manik ( whispered in her ear ): Don't..I need to figure it out..

She frowned and turned to him while he pinned her on the tree..

Nandini ( frowned ): Figure out..?

He just sighed and dipped his head in her neck and his eyes traveled to the tattoo..

Manik: Why do you cover it..?

Nandini ( glared ): You think people won't understand the meaning of this tattoo..

Manik ( sighed ): Its not necessary people will think that Golden stands for Angels and Black stands for Demons..Even I just had a doubt, until I met you..

Nandini ( sighed ): Doubt, is more than enough..

Manik pulled her by waist again..

Manik: Then show it out..This tattoo proves that you belong to a Demon, right. Then, none of the male Angel will come close to you..

Nandini ( disbelievingly ): You are impossible. Sometimes, you ask me to go with you to Tartaros and sometimes you ask me to stay away from my own brothers..you are insane..

She pushed him and started moving while he grabbed her again..

Nandini ( irritated ): Manik, just leave me..

Manik ( angry ): No, I won't leave you..I know I shouldn't have asked like that, but you don't need to push me off..I am sorry for whatever I said..

Nandini stopped struggling and stared at him in shock..

Nandini ( shocked ): Did you just apologize..?

Manik ( sarcastically ): Oh no, I was thanking you..Didn't you hear it..

Nandini ( freaked out ): Oh my God..you mean, you really apologized..I can't believe it..

Manik ( tightened his hold ): Now, don't try these tricks..I won't get embarrassed..I am genuinely sorry for it..

She stared at him with a smile..

Manik ( confused ): Why are you smiling, now..?

Nandini ( smiled ): You got to show this side of yours, sometimes at least..

Manik ( frowned ): Which side..?

Nandini: The side that you just showed to me..You knew you were wrong so you got ready to apologize but then tried to hide yourself behind this angry glare..

Manik left her and looked here and there while she started giggling..

Nandini: Manik Wilfred Weasley..You got to go for acting classes, cause your acting skills isn't working..I just saw your real side..

He pulled her by waist and crashed his lips on her's and bit her lips for which she gasped and taking it as a cue, he entered his tongue inside her mouth and relished them..He broke the kiss..

Nandini ( punched his stomach ): Are you serious..? How many times will you kiss me..?

Manik ( smirked ): I might lose the count in future if you keep on irritate me..

She glared at him but then wore her scarf which he snatched from her..

Nandini: What the hell, Manik..

Manik: I want others to see that you belong to me..

Nandini ( helpless ): Manik..

Manik ( glared ): I told you, from tomorrow..you will be wearing off shoulder dress to college too..

Nandini ( angry ): And you think I am gonna listen to you..

Manik: You will..

Nandini: Of course not..you really don't understand the situation. This tattoo defines that I belong to a Demon which will create a ruckus in FIORE. And I, being the Lady Chief of Fiore won't witness them fighting..

Manik ( smirked ): So, you know, you belong to me..

Nandini ( scowled ): I can't change God's judgement..

He grabbed her and bit her neck which turned out to be harsh..

Nandini ( in pain ): Ouch, Manik..

He licked that spot to soothe her pain and took his teeth back and he saw the red mark..

Manik ( smirked ): If you won't show the tattoo, then its fine..But, this mark will show others that you are Taken..

Nandini ( glared ): What exactly do you want..? One side, you don't want me and on the other side, you don't want any male around me..

Manik ( furious ): You would never understand it..

He went away while she cursed him with all kind of bad names..

The girls bade bye to Nandini..

Manik ( concerned ): How are you going back to Fiore..? You can't go alone..Its going to be more dark..

Before Nandini could reply, a figure stood beside her shocking the Weasley boys..

" Manpreet "

Manpreet ( glared ): When I am alive, my sister doesn't need any of you guys to protect her..Chocolate, lets go..

He took her away while Weasleys stood in shock..

Anaisha: Manpreet adelfos..Thank you..

He turned back and smiled at the girls and went with Nandini who chuckled at the Weasley boys' shocked faces..

Navya ( coolly ): What..Don't give that look..Manpreet adelfós knows about Nandini being friends with us..

Cabir: And he has got no problem with it..?

Soha ( smiled ): Nop, she is his sister and he can even die for her..

Naina: Exactly, so letting her to be friends with us nothing for him..

Maddy ( curious ): And how do you guys have a good relationship with him..He smiled at you..

Anaisha: Oh yeah, we consider him like a brother. Nandini introduced him to us, he is more like a friend for her so she can't hide anything from him and so we became his sisters too..

They nodded at her in understanding..They too went back to Tartaros..

In FIORE

Nandini's bedroom

Nandini was reading a book from her balcony when suddenly she felt some kind of sensation in her wrist..She felt so much of pain in her hand..She looked at the sky, immediately..

Nandini ( sighed in pain ): Its full moon..

She was crying in pain, tears weren't stopping due to the pain..

Nandini ( screamed ): Ahhh....

Somewhere on the other side of their world, a lady was laughing evilly..

Lady: So, how are you feeling, Lil Goddess..? This pain..Isn't it getting more stronger..? It would be, because my curse for you is stronger, this time..I thought you would come to me by bearing the pain for the past 6 years but, you acted to be strong and started palying with me..Me..? Nobody could play with me..I would be the Queen and I would be the one to decide the fate while you would just sit and watch everything getting destroyed, including yourself. You would beg for some mercy, you would cry due to pain, but nobody will be able to save you..You would surrender yourself, Lil Goddess..Hahahahahhahahahahaha

Her evil laughter didn't has any end..The person who was sitting with her was smirking evilly..

Person: You did a great work, Clear..

Clear ( smirked ): I told you, my plan for this time will be something huge..It will work..Soon, she will surrender due to this pain..This pain is something nobody can imagine..If it was for a human, she would have died with her body broken in pieces due to this pain..

They laughed evilly..

In Fiore

Nandini was on the ground screaming in pain. The Carlisle were standing outside her room and seeing it..

Manpreet ( angry ): I can't see it anymore..

He tried to move inside when Rithvik stopped him..

Rithvik ( helplessly ): Don't Manpreet..We shouldn't go inside. She would scream more in pain..Don't you know that her inner souls don't like anyone going near them when they are in pain..

They could only shed tears. They were helpless. Nandita hid herself in Gautam's arms since she couldn't see Nandini screaming in pain..

In Tartaros

Manik was drinking water when suddenly he felt pain in his wrist..He dropped the glass in a jerk gaining attention from others..

Manik ( winced in pain ): Ahh..

Cabir ( worried ): Manik, what happened..?

Arya ( concerned ): Manik..

Manik ( held his hand ): its..paining..

Nyonika ( worried ): Pain..? How..? Did you hurt your hand..?

Manik ( yelled in pain ): No Mom, I don't know..ahh..its hurting me..

Abhi ( worried ): Manik, just calm down..Let me try to heal it..

Abhi had cast many spells but nothing worked..

In Fiore

Nandini ( in tears ): Ahhh...patéras..Its hurting..

The God could only see it with teary eyes..

Goddess ( crying ): Can't you do something..

God ( helpless ): I can't..The witch whoever cursing our baby is under the Dark Lord's protection and you know My power and His is equal..

Goddess ( hugged God ): I can't see it..My baby is in pain, God..I just can't see it..

While Eric was just punching the trees in frustration. Even if he try, he can't find who that witch is. She is protected by Dark Lord who protects each and every evil of their world..

Nandini cried in pain and so Manik but his pain was just a part of her pain. One's mate will suffer only a part of his/her mate's if the mate is suffering from any. But Nandini's pain is something beyond a normal physical pain that a demon or Angel could suffer and so even a part of it will be painful..

Maddy ( worried ): Dad, do something..He is in deep pain..

The Demon girls were also around Manik, who was yelling in pain..he never had to bear such a pain..Suddenly, Navya noticed Manik's hand since his left hand was in pain and it was in a fist and she saw something on it which shocked her..

Navya ( whispered ): Mate's ring..

Navya nudged Anaisha and she looked at her with a worried face as she too was tensed for her brother..

Navya ( mind linked ): Look at adelfós' left hand ring finger..

Anaisha ( frowned ): Navya, he is in pain..

Navya: I know, just have a look at it..

Anaisha looked at it and got shocked..

Anaisha: Its Nan's Mate's ring..

they both looked at each other, they showed it to the rest of the girls and even they too were confused thinking how is it possible to exchange rings when they both aren't ready to accept each other..

Anaisha ( freaked out ): Nan is in pain..

Navya checked outside..

Navya ( shocked ): Guys, its full moon..

The girls controlled themselves in order to stop their tears to come out of their eyes..If Manik is in this much pain then what will be her pain..They won't be able to imagine..

Naina moved towards Manik..

Naina:adelfós , let me check..

She touched his hand and tried to remove that ring without anyone's notice but her hand got burnt..

Naina: Ouch..

Manik: Naina..just stay away..Don't come near me..

He didn't allow any girls near him..They didn't know what to do..

In Fiore

It was sunrise and Nandini fell unconscious after suffering this much of pain..That moment Rishi picked her up and dropped her on the bed. The priest checked her..

Priest ( sighed ): They are increasing the power of curse..

Gautam ( angry ): We need to do something to stop all these..

In Tartaros

Manik was also checked by the Priest but he didn't lose his consciousness..

Priest ( frowned ): I am unable to find it out..Crown chief isn't mated yet, then having pain without getting hurt is impossible, or else some evils should curse him..But, our Crown Chief has no tiffs with any evil, yet..

Manik stared at the Priest when he mention he isn't mated yet..

Manik ( thought worriedly ): I was in pain..If we are in pain even our mate will be in pain..Was she in pain..? Oh God, I hope she was safe..But, we haven't worn mate's ring so it isn't possible for her to suffer the same..Please let her be safe, God..

To be continued..
