The same night, Khushi decided to sleep with her friends in the hostel room, as Preetho was also back.

In the room, Lavanya and Khushi are there on their beds and gossiping about the day. While Preetho went to school saying she had some work.

"Seriously, we have planned this for Preetho and she has gone away," Khushi said while eating her snacks.

Lavanya chuckled," Yup! weird."

"I will go now. Check where the hell she is and will come back with her." Lavanya rushed out without listening to Khushi.

Khushi got confused with her actions.

***

On the other hand, Lav got to know Preetho went to school, from one of her friends.

She also went there, to know what the hell their best friend from years is doing behind their back.

After reaching there she heard some voices in the corridor, followed them and when she reached the edge. She recognized them as Preetho and Sheetal's voices.

After getting the clear of their convo she was shocked.

***

"Seriously, They both just left you alone in the dorm," Arnav asked, frowning, through the call.

Khushi chuckled, " Yup! But not like leaving. Am sure they will be back soon."

"Yeah, right! After spoiling my dream night with my girl. They will enjoy it." Arnav said sarcastically.

Khushi laughed in his pissed mood," Arnavv... come on. I am promising you, tomorrow night, only us. No one can steal me."

Arnav smiled upon hearing her words.

***

"She escaped. The force was powerful, but still Khushi escaped." Preetho said, depressed.

"But I promise you, by the time of the sacrifice, I will wound her." She promised to Sheetal.

Sheetal smiled evilly and replied, " I trust you. Yet you should be careful. As the Malick brothers are her bodyguards."

Preetho nodded her head "I will."

Lavanya gasped in fear hearing their plans.

Sheetal's vamp hearing caught that and she stood in front of Lavanya, scaring her.

"Oops! Your sweet friend learned about our plans, Preetho. So, what should we do now?" Sheetal asked, smirking evilly.

"You... you both... tried to hurt Khushi. I will tell you this to Arnav. He won't leave you both." She tried to call Arnav, but mistakenly she dialed Khushi.

"You should be alive darling, for that." she says, she bites her on Lavanya's neck. She screamed in pain.

***

"Lav..." Khushi answered worriedly, hearing her scream.

She lifted the call, exactly when Sheetal bit her.

"Lavanya, where the hell are you? Why are you crying?" Khushi cried with fear.

In return, "Sorry to say! Your friend over here is going to die in a few minutes. If you care, come and save her." The call went silent after that.

Khushi got scared and she immediately dialed Arnav and recited everything, while crying

"Don't worry. She is going to be fine." Arnav assured her and went in search of Lavanya along with Advay.

***

Here in the school, Sheetal and Preetho escaped from there, before Arnav and Advay reached there.

By the time they came there, Lavanya was in the puddle of blood, whimpering in blood.

They immediately rushed her to the hospital.

***

Preetho rushed into the room,pulled Sheetal by her shoulders, and asked angrily," What the hell have you done? How can you kill her?"

" Woah, Please don't act like you care and besides, she will come back for sure! But not as a human." Sheetal smirked.

Preetho frowned.

***

"What do you mean by vampire blood in her system?"

Advay scoffed looking at Aman.

Aman nodded his head and replied, "Yes, the Meredith who took Lavanya is a good friend of mine. She only told me that there was vampire blood in her system and it only helped her bite on the neck to heal quickly. And now by morning, she will wake up as a Vampiress."

Arnav looked at Advay thoughtfully and said, "By any chance is it that one when you gave her on the day of the accident."

"No, not possible because that would be out of her system by now," Advay said.

"Maybe Sheetal might have given her blood to Lavanya, with some motive!" Khushi said, making them shocked.

All looked at her and Arnav said," This can be possible."

But how? Is the question running in all their minds?

They decided to wait till Lavanya got back to her senses.

***

"What did you do, Sheetal?" Ketaki asked her.

She looked at her and smirked while sipping her drink, "Nothing much! Just asked one of my men to inject my blood into her system."

Ketaki looked at her, widening her eyes.

***

"We might not know. But her men can be anywhere and everywhere. Such a spy she is. Stupid bitch." Advay mumbled angrily.

They all waited for Lavanya to come to her senses.

The sun rose, and everyone stood near Lavanya waiting for her to open her eyes.

Aman is sitting on the bed holding her hand, while Arnav and Khushi stand beside each other, Along with Advay.

Lavanya woke up with a jerk and gasped for air. Aman immediately went to her.

He cupped her cheeks and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I....I....Sheetal...She bit me. Am I dead?" She asked early looking at Aman.

All came near Lavanya, Aman replied," Arnav and Aman found you on the campus, bleeding. They brought you here and by that time you were dead. Meredith said this, and she also added there was vampire blood in your system."

Her eyes widened in shock," That means I am a vampire, now?"

"Ress, Vampiress," Arnav added getting a smack from Khushi.

"I want to be alone for some." Understanding all went out except Aman.

Aman, "I don't want to leave you alone. Not now and forever." He touched her hand.

"Please tell me how you are feeling."

Lavanya smiled and replied," I am OK, Aman. If you think I am feeling sad for becoming a vampire. Then not don't worry."

***

"What do you think, they both would be doing now?" Khushi asked curiously looking at the room of Lavanya.

Arnav, "Well for starters as she is now a newbie vampire. Her emotions and everything will be heightened. So if my guess is right their lips would be fighting." Said with a mischievous smile on his face.

Khushi opened her mouth widely.

"Close it, Mishti, otherwise I will close it," Arnav commented.

She closed her mouth and beat him on his shoulder playfully.

***

After two days, Lavanya had adjusted to her new Vampire life, and all thanks to her friends.

Today, she is back to school with her friends.

"Gladly. It isn't that weird to be back at school." Lavanya mumbled enough audibly to her friends.

Khushi smiled at her friend while taking her bag from Arnav.

"And it is much better as none knows that you are back from the dead."

"Yup! And that also saves me from giving a cover story for the mystical death." Arnav added.

"Yeah! But I fear one or two people will know about my death." Lavanya said, biting her nails.

Khushi scrunched her eyebrows and asked," One I know. That is Sheetal because she is the reason. And who might be the other one?"

While Lavanya contemplated her doubt, Arnav pulled them to the classes saying they were getting late.

***

Once entering the class, Khushi saw Preetho sitting near Sheetal.

"What is happening here, am I seeing Preetho near Sheetal?" Khushi asked her friends.

Lavanya sighed and replied," I guessed it." Khushi frowned at her.

While the twin brothers rolled their eyes.

***

That evening, Khushi and her friends decided to meet up at her home.

Advay and Lavanya came first to her home, but they got confused when they both were unable to step into the house.

"Great! Now we both need to be invited in." Advay whispered.

"But how and why?Khushi's house is not sealed, right? Then how come it got sealed now?" Lavanya asked.

When they are talking, a woman comes there and asks,"You are Khushi's friends right?"

Advay and Lavanya startled, but nonthless nodded their heads as yes.

In the meanwhile, Arnav and Khushi were enjoying the horse ride.

It was a gift by Arnav to Khushi, on her 17th birthday.

Oynx, this is his name given by Khushi according to his color, after the oynx stone.

Oynx is veery dear to Khushi. He is a treasure to her.

Giggles of Khushi echoed everywhere, Arnav is enjoying while sitting behind her while her soft and curly hairs were caressing his face.

Advay calls Arnav, breaking their fun,"Ahh... perfect timing twinny bro."

"Where the hell are you both?Here me and Lav are strucked outside Khushi's house." Advay said gritting his teeth.

Arnav got confused and asked," What? How is that possible?"

"Don't know, but there is someone in her home. Come here asap." Advay cut the call.

Hearing laughing sounds, Lavanya and Advay turned around and there they saw Arnav and Khushi coming coming hand in hand giggling and chuckling.

"Great! Here we are worrying and these two are enjoying." Lavanya muttered.

Khushi saw them and asked," What you both are doing out?You should have gone in, right?"

Lavanya," Well, waiting for someone to invite us."

"From when you need to be invited in my home, girl?" Khushi asked getting in her house.

She turned and then saw, Arnav also getting struck near the door step," Well they are right Baby, can't able to enter."

Khushi immediately went near them and called out for her caretaker.

"Aunt Mishra...Aunt Mishra?"

In return she got the answer from the woman, who at first interacted with Advay and Lavanya.

"Ohh Hi Khushi dear. I see you are calling out for your Aunt. But unfortuantely she is on leave for few days and leaving you under my care."

"Ohk! But why my friends...

She was cut off by Arnav," Ahh Baby come here once, you forgot something in the car."

Arnav beckoned her, seeing her confused eyes.

Khushi went to him and they both went out, after Arnav threw a meaningful look to Advay.

After coming near the car,Khushi," What the hell is happening,Arnav?"

"To know that I need to enter first. But I am pretty much sure something is not right. Did you try calling Aunt Mishra?"

Khushi nodded,"I will try now."

"But first come let us go. And after going into the house, firstly you have to invite us in."

"Ok."

***

As per Arnav's instructions, Khushi invited them into the home, but still they weren't able to enter.

Just then The woman comes there along with their daughter on seeing whom Khushi and her friends get shocked.

"Oh, you guys are still out there, please come in." The Woman invites them and then they entered in.

Arnav understood what happened.

"Preetho?"Khushi grasped looking at her friend who is standing with the woman.

"Ahh Her name is not Preetho dear. Her real name is Ketaki, my daughter and my name is Garima gupta." Everyone got shocked with the new info.

They all thought till now, Preetho is an orphan.

"Real name? So, your real name is not Preetho and you were fooling us till this moment." Lavanya commented.

"That is to guard ourselves from danger. Because we are witches." Ketaki replied, smirking.

"Guessed it." Arnav mumbled inaudible to Garima and Ketaki.

Garima intervened and said," Alright dearies, forget about all these things and have fun." Lavanya rolled her eyes.

After that Arnav and Khushi escaped to Khushi's room by giving some excuse.

"I am very sure something is not right." Arnav said, raking his hand through his hair.

He then looked at Khushi, who was sitting on the bed and trying to contact her Aunt.

"Weird! Aunt Mishra never did like this." Khushi murmured looking at her phone.

They were disturbed by a knock on the door.

Arnav opened it and saw Lavanya and Advay standing there with annoyed faces.

"Kuhu, did you call your Aunt?" Lavanya asked by sitting beside Khushi.

Khushi sighed replying," Yeah, I was trying for a long time but she is not answering."

"Isn't this so unlike her? I mean, she never goes anywhere this long, by not telling you." Lavanya pointed out her doubt.

Arnav then said," Do you think she is in some kind of trouble?" Khushi got worried listening to him.

"Let us not jump into the conclusion. We should at least wait till tomorrow morning. If she doesn't come by tomorrow also then we can go for search." Advay suggested.

Arnav got annoyed with his twin brother. When he tried to retort, Khushi signed as no.

Later, that night, Arnav and Khushi were standing near his car,

"I am not really feeling good to leave you alone here with those two witches. Why don't you come with me to Sunshine." Arnav asked her while pulling her towards him.

He is hugging her through her waist.

Khushi smiled hugging him back and said," As much as I want to, I can't. Because tonight I am going to be on detective mode."

Arnav scrunched his eyebrows hearing her plan.

"What the hell, and whose idea is it? And how can you be sure that I will approve this crazy idea of yours?"

"Trust me,Aru this is my own idea." Khushi said, pinching her throat.

Arnav looked at her holding his hands.

"I am not going to approve this. They are dangerous witches."

"That we will know by tomorrow." Khushi said while turning to go back to her home.

But Arnav pulled her to him and looked into her eyes,"I know you are a crazy one, but please don't take risks."

Khushi cupped his cheeks and said," There is no risk, Arnav. I will just see if there is anything like any clue or any ids of them to know more about them."

"Alright! Be careful and if you sense any kind of danger, You are calling me,Ok?" Arnav said pointing his finger.

Khushi nodded her head as yes.

***

That night, after everyone went into sleeping mode, Khushi went into her detective mode.

She reached the room, where mother and daughter duo witches are sleeping.

Without making a noise, she opened the door and was shocked not to see the duo in the room.

"What the!" She then checked everywhere in the house, every room, including the store room and terrace, lastly she went to check in her Aunt room, where she got another shock of the day.

Khushi saw her aunt, Madhumati Mishra sleeping soundly while snoring.

'What the hell is happening?'

Her head was spinning with the turn of events.
