FIORE

The Court Room

Each and every court members of Fiore and Tartaros were present in the room. The court members from the Angels were the Carlisle family while from the Demons were the Weasleys and the younger weasleys' mates. Anaisha was the daughter of the Ex-Minister of Tartaros who is no more and since she was the only child of her father, she holds the power of a side minster of Tartaros, she became a court member since her father was an important person for Weasleys..

Angels were sitting on the left and Demons were sitting on the right area. While former chiefs of Fiore and Tartaros were sitting at the head position..

Vayhesh: What made you visit us, Mr. Weasley..? Are you neglecting your hatred for " Angels " ?

Sahas ( expressionless ): No, we aren't. We just wanted to make a pact with you..

Vayhesh ( frowned ): Pact..?

Sahas ( nodded ): Yes..As we all know our Lil Goddess' life is in danger and the dark creatures are on hunt, we need to protect her..And those creatures are aiming the forest, mostly. So, we demons decided to keep a check on the forest daily. But, for that, we need to have control on forest but half of the forest is controlled by you..

Vayhesh was listening to it calmly..While Nandini was staring at Sahas with so much of warmth in her eyes..

Vayhesh: okay, I get that point..You mean to say, you want full control on forest..?

Sahas: Not exactly. What I mean is, we want to keep a check on whole forest. But to enter in your area, we need permission from you. Taking permission from you, for every now and then isn't possible for us..We don't mind link with each other. So, we thought of making a pact which states that Angels and Demons can enter in each of their areas of the forest at any time they want..

Vayhesh stared at him lost in thoughts..He then looked at Gautam who wasn't looking pleased at all..He moved his gaze from Gautam to Nandita who was smiling at him..

Vayhesh: Well, I think I need to get each of the court member's opinion..Carlisles..??

Gautam ( composed himself ): Former Chief, I don't think we could trust them..

Raj was pissed with this pact thing as he didn't want to join hands with Angels and now Gautam's words increased his anger..

Raj ( pissed ): You think we would cook up stories on Lil Goddess..?

Gautam: I don't know what category you would fit in, so its obvious that I could think what you just said..

Nandita and Nyonika sighed in helplessness..

Raj ( angry ): You would never know too..Because, to understand a demon, you should be of our kind, not an Angel..

Gautam ( showed a smile ): And I am pleased that I am not a Demon..

Vayhesh: Gautam..we are here to discuss..not to fight..

Gautam ( sighed ): Sire..I am sorry but I can't join my hands with a Demon..

Raj: Neither I am interested..

Vayhesh: Chief Queen..? How about you..?

Nandita ( nervous ): I follow my Chief, sire..

Vayhesh knew she would never go against her husband..He turned to the youngsters..

" We would follow your path, sire.." they echoed in unison..

Vayhesh ( sighed ): Mr. Weasley..I always go with majority..But here, its our Chief and Fiore shouldn't go against Chief, though I am the Former Chief. Besides, your Chief is also not interested in the pact..

Sahas looked at Raj and shot a glare but Raj was really pissed at Gautam and busy in glaring at him who was also glaring back..the younger Demons were just watching the fight..They too were helpless, they didn't want Raj to get insulted but Carlisle are Nandini's family so they didn't know how they will go against them. Damn, it was frustrating for them..

While the younger Carlisle were angry at demons except Nandini who was finding the fight so irritating..

Sahas: Raj..is that your final decision..?

Raj ( composed himself ): Sire, a pact should be formed between two individuals who are willing to. But here, Chief of Fiore doesn't want to or else I can join my hands..Now, I want to protect my Lil Goddess..

Gautam ( angry ): I can join my hands with demons only if they know to respect us..

Before Raj could fight back, someone interrupted..

Voice: I beg your pardon, Chiefs and Sires..

They turned their attention to the voice..

Vayhesh ( smiled ): Nandini..

Nandini ( apologetic smile ): Shall I, sire..?

Vayhesh/Sahas: Of course, you shall..

She got up and faced Raj..

Nandini: I am begging your pardon initially for interrupting your conversation with Chief of Fiore. I think, this fight would lead to nowhere. You are here to form a pact and when you planned to come here, you would have decided to form it for sure. And so, returning back to Tartaros with empty hands will really disappoint you once you calm your anger. Chief has asked respect from you, I know you didn't like the way he questioned your loyalty towards God but Angels and Demons never had any kind of conversations which prove their loyalty to God. We have always fought for unnecessary reasons. So, we don't now how much loyal you could be. But, if that irked you, I apologize for it..Fighting for no reason will gain nothing but we will only lose..

She turned to Gautam..

Nandini: I beg your pardon too, Chief..I accept that we don't know Demons and so we could never trust them, easily. But just like how you asked for respect, even they would expect the same..If we are joining our hands with someone, we should respect them, even though if they are our enemies. Give respect, you would gain respect too..If my suggestion has disappointed you, I apologize..

Raj sat speechless with the way she made him calm. The way she ask him to calm himself and apologized for whatever her father did, won his heart. He was a person who never listened to anyone but today Nandini just sneaked into his heart and mind and gave some sense in him while others were expecting Raj to burst out on her and Manik was literally worried for Nandini thinking his father will insult her and he wouldn't be able to protect her.

Gautam was smiling at his Princess. Though Nandini was a Goddess for Gautam and much higher in standard when it comes to Gautam that she could even take his life but she never behaved like that. He was always her Dad for her. She always respected him like how a common Angel has to respect her/his Chief..

Sahas ( smiled ): I don't mind it Miss Carlisle..

Nandini smiled and looked at Gautam to see him smiling at her..

Gautam: I am ready to form the pact..

The demons sat shocked to see the ever angry Gautam Grey Carlisle to bow down in front of someone while Raj was still admiring Nandini..

She smiled at her Dad and occupied her seat..

Sahas: Raj..?

Manik's heartbeat was rising at a faster rate..

Raj ( nodded ): I too am ready..

Manik's jaw dropped down while his brothers were looking at their father with " Is her really our Dad " looks on their faces..Nyonika couldn't believe..

Sahas ( shocked ): Really..?

Raj ( expressionless ): Yeah..can we sign the pact now..Sire..?

Sahas ( turned to Vayhesh ): Mr. Carlisle..? Can we..?

Vayhesh ( nodded ): Of course..

The Former Chiefs and Chiefs of Fiore and Tartaros signed the pact and shook their hands with each other. Nandini smiled at it..

Nandini ( mind link ): Eric, I think I am becoming a reason for the end of this baseless fight between Demons and Angels..

Eric ( smiled ): Of course baby, after all nobody can resist Eric Thomson's sister's charms..

Nandini ( thought ): I am so gifted with many people in my life. I mean, I've got possessive brothers and an over possessive mate plus self obsessed brother and self obsessed mate..I am blessed..

Eric ( bad face ): I heard that, cause I am still mind linking you..

Nandini: Good for you..

Soon, they occupied their seats again..

Sahas: So, we shall enter the forest form today on wards..right..?

Vayhesh: You should ask to the right people..

Sahas: What does it mean..?

He stared at Gautam..

Gautam ( smiled ): Forest is handled by Mr. Manpreet Grey Carlisle and Miss Nandini Grey Carlisle..

They stared at the duo who were smirking at each other..

Manpreet: Oh yeah..it is..We are the most evil ones among Carlisle..So...Miss Carlisle..?

Nandini ( nodded ): I've got no problem..

Manpreet: Neither I..Sire, they can start their work form today on wards..

Vayhesh ( to Demons ): You shall..

The Weasleys nodded and got up and moved outside followed by the Carlisles..

At night

Nandini and Manpreet got out of their Mansion and moved towards the forest..

Nandini: Mann, will we lose our freedom..?

Manpreet: Nah, we still are going to enjoy our freedom in our forest. We just won't enter where Demons will be present..

Nanidni ( sarcastically ): You think I will allow you to..I wouldn't like to see another fight..

Manpreet ( smirked ): Actually, Chocolate, what happened to that soldier..?

Nandini ( bit her lips ): Which soldier..?

Manpreet ( mocked ): The one who insulted Crown Chief Manik Wilfred Weasley..

Nandini ( fake grinned ): What will happen to him, Mann..?

Manpreet ( smirked ): Baby, you know messing with me will only increase your worries..I saw that soldier working in the sun, you know guarding the war animals..Only low grade soldiers work over there but according to my knowledge he is a high grade soldier..So...what does it mean, miss Carlisle..?

Nandini looked here and there. It was her who asked the soldier to guard the war animals as it was under sun and she wanted that soldier to get punished for what he did, which is " humiliating her MATE "..

Manpreet ( sarcastically ): Care to explain, or should I elaborate it..

Nandini ( annoyed ): Shut up, Mann..If I have asked him to work then it would be for a good reason.

Manpreet ( grinned ): Of course, it was to punish that soldier so that Manik Wilfred Weasley never get insulted when he visits Fiore, again..

Nandini ( glared ): One more word from your shitty mouth, I won't mind to use my power on you..

Manpreet ( shrugged ): As if I care..

She stomped her feet on the floor and walked fast..

Manpreet ( chuckled ): Hold on Lady, wait for me..

Nandini: Ask your non-existing mate to wait for you..

Manpreet ( bad face ): I would get my mate soon, you Violet Angry Bird..

Nanidni: Shut up you monkey face..

Manpreet made a bad face and soon the siblings got inside the forest..They walked further and reached their favorite place in the forest..

( Its not a full moon night )

Nandini ( smiled widely ): I just can't get enough of it's beauty..

Manpreet ( smiled ): True, Chocolate..

They sat on the stones and started talking. It was the routine of both of them to spend some time of every night near to the sea. It was their favorite hangout place.

Suddenly, they heard some voices which alerted them..

Nandini: Mann, did you hear it..

Manpreet ( angry ): If it happens to be vampires, they they are dead..

Nandini ( smirked ): Of course, I won't leave them..

They got up and walked further only to get surprised..

Weasleys were looking for a clue to get to the Lil Goddess when they heard some sound of like giggles..They moved to the area from where the sound was coming and saw two figures moving towards them..

Manik ( frowned ): I am not getting any vampire's smell, instead Her smell is lingered all over the area..

Soon, they saw the figures in front of them..

" Nandini " " Manpreet "

Nandini and Manpreet got surprised to see Weasleys instead of any Vampires..

Nandini: You still are on hunt for the Vampires..?

Manik: What are you doing here..?

Manpreet ( made faces ): If you have forgotten, let me remind you, the first is still under our control and we both are the head of Angel's area..

Manik ( pissed ): I know that Mr. Carlisle. I was speaking to Nandini and what I meant is what she is doing at this hour of night..

Manpreet ( annoyed ): Why don't you talk to me instead of my sister..?

Nandini ( irritated ): Just shut up both of you..( to weasleys ) We are here for our own siblings time..and you still are going to be here..?

Raj: Yes, we are in search of Lil Goddess..

Nandini raised her eyebrows while Manpreet laughed mentally..

Nandini: Uh..Lil Goddess..? You said you wanted to protect Lil Goddess from the Vampires..

Sahas: We did..and we are going to protect our Goddess but we also want to find her so that no harm should reach her..

Nandini smiled genuinely at him and nodded..

Nandini: Okay, you can go ahead..we will be sitting here for some more time..

The Weasleys nodded while Manik signaled Nandini to follow him..She glared at him but he didn't give a damn and mind linked " dare you deny, you'll regret "

Nandini turned to Manpreet who was busy in watching her..

Nandini: What..?

Manpreet: What..? Can't I stare at my sister..?

Nandini ( sarcastically ): No you can't, it just became a crime from yesterday on wards..

Manopreet: Really..? Then I would never stop staring at you..now, go and meet him or else he would come again and I am not at all in a mood to fight with him..

Nandini ( shocked ): Whom are you talking about..?

Manpreet ( glared ): your mate..you think I would allow some random guy to get to you..he is your mate and I am sure he won't hurt you..Now, don't gape at me..rush..

Nandini: Sometimes I think, do you really hate Demons or not..

Manpreet: Nah, its just I like to show attitude..

She sighed in disbelief and moved towards Manik who has already excused himself and waiting near to the tree from where he could see Nandini and Manpreet having conversation with each other..

The moment she reached, he dragged her behind the tree so that Manpreet doesn't see them..

Nandini: What the..Manik..Mann was watching us..

Manik ( coolly): That's exactly why I dragged you here..Listen, go back to your Mansion, right now..

Nandini ( frowned ): Why..?

Manik ( glared ): Why do you always ask questions..?

Nandini: Manik..I am done fighting..Its too late to fight..

Manik ( sighed): Fine, see its dangerous out here..And you will be new to all these things..

Nandini: oh hello..I am not new..And I am not going back..We come here often..

Manik ( held his head ): God, stop arguing Nandini..I have sensed that Vampires are still on hunt. Maybe, they will reach here too..

Nandini ( smirked ): Then, I am surely not gonna go..I want to meet them..

Manik ( disbelievingly ): Are you mad..?

She could read worry in his eyes for her..She smiled at his possessiveness and cupped his cheeks..

Nandini ( softly ): Manik..nothing is going to harm me..

Manik got calmed and kept his forehead on her's..

Manik: I know, I would never lose you..

He was restless since the moment he saw her in the forest as she wasn't with the Carlisle last night which showed that she wasn't used to the wars and the way her brothers became protective for her made him understand that she never had any idea meeting with vampires before..So, he decided to get her away from the forest..

Nandini knew he isn't fooling around and has got something genuine for her..She tip toed and stood on his feet making him surprised. He grabbed her waist and she snaked her arms around his neck and moved to his ear and whispered..

Nandini: I am danger for you, Manik..Don't get into my life. It will burn you..Please don't feel something for me and don't make me fall for you too..I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU..

She kissed his right cheek and he stared at her with love filled eyes..She had some tears in her eyes but she blinked it off and ran away before he could find it out..

Manik ( self thought): What is it Nandini that you are afraid to be with me..? What makes you so vulnerable in staying away from me, if you wanted to be mine..?

He noticed her tears and it just pinched his heart, he had decided to make her his and now he decided to break the barrier around her..

To be continued..
