Power Of Blood: Darkness Never Leaves 31 Scream

"I found out about the rumor."

"What rumor?"

"About your sibling."

Now, Dhira remembered he said something about a freshman going around saying they're related to her. And that this rumor was quite the popular gossip. That and some new admission Brother duo. But she also remembered telling him that its just a stupid rumor and not to waste time on it.

"Guess, who it is?" s.h.i.+vam asked with a cheeky smile.

"I don't care, s.h.i.+vam. It's just a STUPID RUMOR!" she yelled.

"You should care though since it's Divya who's going around saying that. She is using your name to scare other contestants. Two girls have already backed out."

"We only care about Visha. And she already knows me. That Puppy is tougher than she looks. She won't back out. Trust me."

s.h.i.+vam gave up on trying to get her involved. She won't be concerned about this no matter what. She had lot more pressing matters to attend to. Like those Devdoots he just spotted up front. Shreya was talking to Pranay at the corner of the corridor. Vishakha had just joined them.

s.h.i.+vam turned to Dhira who decided to turn towards cafeteria ignoring them. Just then a voice from behind them said, "Look who's here." It was Aditya. He put his arm around s.h.i.+vam's shoulders and dragged him towards Shreya. Dhira had to turn back and go to Shreya too. She was agitated by how Aditya had behaved.

"Is this what you taught them as manners?" Dhira taunted.

Shreya looked at her in ridicule, "Do Bhairavi's ignore to greet their guests?"

Dhira sighed at that. She knew that this was her territory and they were the guests. Even if they harbor ill intentions, she still had to follow customs. So she smiled at Shreya.

"I was in a hurry. So I won't be able to accompany you. You see, as the acting leader of Bhairavi, I have a lot of work to do."

All Shreya could do, was to see Dhira turn around and leave with s.h.i.+vam. She grit her teeth and clenched her fist so hard that her nails dug in her palms.

This was clearly a shot at Shreya. Dhira wanted to point out that Shreya had free time to idle around as she was the heir. But Dhira, on the other hand, was already performing duties of a leader. She may be working in her Master's stead but she was doing it all. Not only will this prove Dhira's capabilities but also make people believe in her as a prominent leader to be. That meant she will soon be taking over Bhairavis.

If she keeps on working like this she will soon be announced as the leader. As the current leader was already in a critical state, she won't have any obstacles anymore.

But that would also mean their deadline was getting close. They will have to speed up their work. Once Dhira takes the position of the Leader, she will become unstoppable.

Visha was surrounded by people as they talked about something. She was just smiling and nodding at them. Her mind wasn't here anymore. It was filled with thoughts of Yash. This is what everyone said his name was. She kept on going back to the moment when their eyes had met. Should she have averted her gaze? Would he think she was shameless? Would he hate her? Would he be angry at her?

She sighed as there was nothing she could do now. But then another thought struck her. What if he sees her as creepy and perverted? Her body stiffened at this thought. As this would mean she could never see him again. She will avoid him at all costs for a few days till he forgot about this. Her phone rang and she used it as an excuse to leave. She wasn't interested in their conversation anyway.

Priya peeked to see 'Big Sis' flash on Visha's screen. This was the perfect opportunity to find the person helping her behind the scenes. So Priya followed behind her sneakily. She saw Visha pacing back and forth near the stairs. Priya hid near a corner to listen in on the conversation. She could only hear Visha's side. Maybe she would be lucky to catch a name.

"Ughh! I messed up really bad today and my mood is already spoiled. So please go easy on me, Big Sister."

"No it wasn't something stupid. I maybe called a creep in the college for that. Help me, please. I am your favourite Puppy."

Visha then made fake sobbing sounds. And then her face suddenly cheered up. She let out an excited shriek. Her helper must have agreed. Priya thought. But what did Visha do? She was with her all the time.

"Okay. Bye. I will see you outside."

She saw Visha heading down the stairs. All this sneaking and spying was a wasted effort. She couldn't even get a name out of it. She couldn't stand this b*tch anymore. A sudden rage came over Priya and she rushed towards her. She pushed Visha off the stairs and panick struck. Her face lost color as she came back to her sense and ran off. If someone saw her here, they would know she did it. All she heard was Visha's scream!
