Morning,
Warm sunlight seeped into the room through the curtains, casting a gentle glow that signaled the arrival of morning. Siya slowly drifted away from her peaceful slumber, her mind foggy and her body languid. As she stirred, she became aware of an unfamiliar weight in her arms. Her eyes fluttered open, and she was met with the shocking realization that her arms were wrapped around Larkin, their bodies pressed together in a tender, intimate pose. A soft smile played on her lips, but it faltered as Larkin's gaze met hers, his eyes sparkling with awareness. Siya's heart skipped a beat as she panicked, her face flushing with embarrassment. She hastily slipped away from him, her movements awkward and jerky. "Sorry, I didn't do that on purpose," she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper. The words tumbled out in a rush, a mixture of apology and mortification. She couldn't believe she had unconsciously snuggled up to him in her sleep, and now she felt vulnerable and exposed.
"No, it's ok. Night was so cold i should thank you for warmth." He said shyly.
" What are you saying stupid." He thought for himself , felling stupidity for saying this. Siya blushed by hearing his words. Fidgets with bedsheet " yeah,it was cold."
Suddenly they hear gunshot sound from ground floor and siya trembles by sudden sound. " They came for us."
" Don't worry, we need to go out from window." Larkin gets up from bed and takes his sword. He opens window and looks out "can i pick you on arms?" He asked. Siya blushes a bit "yes." He picks her in arms and jumps from window. Siya wrapped arms around his neck and closes her. They safely land on ground and siya get's of from his arms. " Wow!" She says with with surprise that he jumped from second floor with her so easily.
But a man saw them and shooted but larkin cuts bullets with his sword and slices that man too so rapidly. But others who were in hotel listened the sound and they were coming out. Larkin picked up siya again and jumped out from boundary wall of hotel. They sat in taxi standing on road side and said driver to bring them to metro station fast. Driver starts driving but few bikers were chasing them with guns and driver was driving so slow. Larkin puts driver on passenger seat and takes driver seat. He runs taxi with high speed to run away. "Drive slower stupid it's mine. I will kill you if anything happened to it." Driver shouted on Larkin.
" Shut up you will make us die." Larkin increases the speed, drives through cars. Siya closed her eyes and helds seat tightly by fear. The bikers were causing accidents throughout the way. "Siya ,i think i need to fight ."Larkin said.
He stopped taxi at construction site and get of from it. He handed driver a some money blindly and went in building with siya. Driver drived out taxi but bikers surrounded him. They checked taxi before letting him go from there,then they all entered in construction site.
"Siya ,stay here i will just take few seconds." Larkin said.
"But they are more than 15." She said with worried voice.
Larkin smiled" is it any big number, I don't think so." He leaves her there hidden and comes out. Those gangsters Immediately starts shooting after noticing him but again larkin easily dodges the bullets and kills one of them. He takes his gun and shoots others. His aim was so accurate and precise, his speed and reflexes seemed like superhuman. He took down all of them effortlessly except the man who was there leader.
"From which group you are?" Larkin asked to him.
That man was now so afraid and trembling with fear."I don't work for anyone,i...i just attacked for bounty." Larkin shoots him and goes to siya .
" Are you fine?" Siya checks him if he has any wounds.
"Don't worry i am fine. Let's go from here." Larkin smiled and assured her. They came out from construction site and takes a bike of those gangsters.
"Where are we going now?" Siya asks as larkin drives bike.
"Cyber cafe, i want to check my bounty." He replied.
Siya wraps her arms around his waist and rests her head on his back. Larkin feels so overwhelming emotions within him but he enjoys the attention.
" I don't like this bloodshed , can't anything end without any killings. I don't want people to die because of me." She said sadly.
Larkin feels bad for her." This is not all because of you siya, this calamity is on whole humanity and we are trying to save everything." Larkin said.
" I was thinking i should die and end this all but i can do this only i will be of more than 1 0 0 years. Before that i can only transfer this power to someone else. Now this seems curse to me." Siya said with trembling voice.
" How did you got this power." Larkin asked.
"My ancestor, Swamar, was gifted this power 'euthanasia' by the god over 6,000 years ago,but no one knows how he obtained it. He lived for more than 2,000 years, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations, and doing countless honorable deeds for the people. Yet, with each passing century, the weight of outliving loved ones grew heavier. He grew tired of watching them fade away, one by one. Eventually, he decided to end his journey, to accept death's call. But he didn't want the power to die with him, so he passed it on to a pure-hearted warrior, someone who would protect the innocent from evil. And so, the power was passed down through generations, each owner living an extraordinary life. My great-grandmother was the last one to possess it; she lived for 120 years. But one day some people attacked on us and they killed each member of our family. I survived there somehow but they had kidnapped my great grandmother. I was 2 3 years old that time. After few months some gangsters attacked on me and from that day it has been more than a year i am running from them. I came to know that i have that power of immortality or euthanasia and that's why people are chasing me. I don't know how many times i have been near death." Siya explained everything to larkin as she tried to control her tears .
" I promise I will end all of this and protect you in all situations. I will punish sura for everything he has done to you." Larkin said confidently.
Siya smiles weakly and buries her face on his back. " Thanks,i don't know how will i repay you for this."
"You don't have to repay me. I am your master so it's my duty to take care of my student."
Siya smiles "yes master."
Larkin Stops bike in front of cyber cafe and they enter in it. They rent a computer and larkin searches for bounty website on web.
Opens his page and sees the Bounty.
[ 2 Billion Dollars ]
Siya got shocked by huge bounty. "What, 2 Billion Dollars,is this this for real." She says.
" Huh just 2 Billion,i was expecting more." Larkin said,seems to be disappointed by the Bounty.
" Siya let's see yours, there's bounty on you or not." He searches her name.
" Oh there it is." He opens her bounty page.
[5 billion dollars]
Siya shocked even more"5 billion dollars , it's even more."she said.
"What the hell,i should have greater ."
Larkin said in confused tone.
Siya was feared but Larkin was complaining about less bounty and was jealous with her.
"That means you are in more trouble."
Siya nodded."yes ."
"Well, don't worry let's go from here."
They came out from cyber cafe.
"What should be our next step." Siya asked. She was worried because of her bounty.
Larkin thinks for a while then answered,
" Let's leave this country." Larkin says.
"Where are we going then?" Siya asked curiously.
'INDIA'
