Our Two Worlds

“What are you doing here?”

“Umm relieving my bladder.”

“Behind a cabinet house?” Why do my friends need to use their great intelligence when its not needed to be used.

“No I was coming back after relieving myself, but got confused and hence lost the way.”

“You tend to lose your way a lot nowadays.”

“Thankyou for the great observation your humble aboard.”

“Idiot.” Had he made a pact with my inner voice aka my mind?

Making our way towards the ship, we were ready to depart. The water looked dark, so dark that not even a thing was not visible in it. After some travelling, the ship was brought to a stop in the centre of nowhere. Wherever my eyes could reach the only thing that was visible was water. The waters here looked much darker compared to the one’s before. They almost resembled the colour of black.

We were given information regarding the directions and marine population. It was time to learn the structure of the ship. The mechanism was done with modern machines which made the ship stronger than the one’s normally used. Just as we were learning about the electricity flow which was used to run the ship, that was when the first strike went on the ship tilting it to a side. Not only it made a loss to the ship, but also us. We almost smacked to the wall of the ship, if it wasn’t for the fast reflexes of the warriors. Making our way towards the surface of the ship, we saw that the ship was actually tilting to a side and was on the verge of drowning.

“Get ready to fire. We need the fires to be working now!” It was Victor ordering everyone around.

“Hey what’s the matter?”

“We are under attack.”

“Pirates?”

He looked towards me with an odd look on his face for a while, “Merpeople.” Did he just say merpeople? Means the one’s who live underwater and almost bit one’s arm off when they try to help them? Very busy in my own world I didn’t even notice the second strike which almost threw me out of the ship if I hadn’t caught the railings in the nick of time. Damn these things had some power in them. Balancing myself straight, I noticed the surroundings around myself.

The King was handling the wheel of the ship, so the ship doesn’t drown or tilt to a side, Jay was handling the ship’s mechanism and Victor was helping the soldiers to attack and was fighting alongside them. This was the moment where my perspective for them really changed. No they weren’t among the people who would stand back and let others fight their wars, they were the people who would fight alongside every soldier sacrificing their lives to save their people.

“Keep moving, keep moving inside!!” There he was the king of savageness, Drew himself, carrying a small boy in his bare hands and ushering women and children inside to the clutches of safety. None of them thought twice to shed their roles as royalties and took roles of people who sacrifice themselves for their people. Watching the scenario around me I came to a conclusion these people definitely weren’t heartless, they were only hurt, hurt by something which actually made them the way they are.

“HELP!!” Hearing the voice I scanned my surroundings. My eyes came in contact with 2 blue one’s. The boy looked too young to even get a permission to board a damn ship. He was very stuck to railing in a very weird position. One strike and he would be mixed with the very deep sea which very much looked like everyone’s death now compared to the calm one before.

Adjusting my grip on the railing I ran towards him. I was able to catch him before he could topple out. Due to pressure coming from the front of the ship it had started to tilt backwards now. The backside was slowing going towards the water’s surface and the frontside was tilting upwards. Yes we were definitely filming TITIANIC here, but in a little different way, where their lives were taken by icebergs, ours would be taken by merpeople.

Looking around I tried to find a way to make the boy reach the door directly opposite to us. We were almost sleeping on the grounds now. Searching around I was able to find a rope behind the wooden boxes. I tied the rope around boy’s waist in such a way that it wouldn’t be too tight for him to get hurt and nor too loose to get loose in his way. Removing the pocket knife from my pants which I carried me for some weird reasons even I didn’t knew about, I handed it to the boy. “Hey bud I need you to learn some exercises here and I want you to pay attention to them.”

The cabin door was just opposite to me. I pierced the knife through the wooden platform of the ship and taught him to pierce it in easier way with not much needed force from his small body. I even gave him the idea to drag himself towards the idea and assured him that I would catch him if he falls with the help of the rope I tied to his waist. The boy, I guess, a remake of Einstein very well followed my each and every precaution and made his way towards the door. Soon he had almost reached the door. But there was only one issue here now. He had to jump towards the door because the rope was fell a little short from the door. If I would keep it clutched in my hands it would let him to get tugged behind and if I left it and if by any chance he slept in between he would directly go in the deep waters slipping to his death.

There was only one way left here now. Are you sure about it? I am damn sure about it. “BUD.” He turned towards me. “On the count of three jump towards the door!” Balancing myself on the rail I counted till three. On the count of 3 the boy jumped and landed inside the door and I was sliding downwards. Yes I had jumped as well thinking that I would be able to reach the railing again while sliding down. But the railing was far away from my reach. But before I could keep sliding towards my death, I was hanging, yes hanging just some distance away from death. It was more like someone had caught my hand before I could reach the my allotted destination.

Slowly I lifted my head to see the great soul who had reached the earth so fast just to save my life. My brown eyes met the dark brown one’s. There he was, the King of the world hanging from a rail and his another hand capturing mine successfully stopping my fall to death . Eventhough I wasn’t a werewolf I could still feel the damn sparks where his skin was touching mine.

We were too engrossed in each other’s eyes and we would have been if- “AAAaaaaaaa”. There came Rosaline-the-great sliding down. For a second I had a beautiful thought to ignore her and let her go to her merry way even the King himself wasn’t paying any attention to her. But my very generous heart had other thoughts. I caught her with my free hand.

We were now 3 idiots hanging from the rail just some distance away from our deaths. Great. I wouldn’t have noticed if I wouldn’t have seen it. The pole which he was holding was bending now. The weight of a damn huge dog, a magic vomiter and a cute little beauty was straining it. My hand which was holding Rosaline had now started to take a strain, soon I would be having a fracture on it. Damn this girl only eats vegetables and still is so heavy. This would only lead to all three of us falling to our deaths.

My eyes met Crystals and she knew what I was thinking about. “DON’T YOU DARE YOU BITCH!!” Damn girl had some voice. With the remaining life left in my hands, I pulled Rosaline upwards. I was successful enough to pull her to the level as that of my hand which was holding his.

A glance towards him and it was enough for me to know that he knew about my extremely idiotic plans. His grip on my hand tightened. He wasn’t letting go. I smiled at him(Ofcourse I need a dramatic death) and in that distraction exchanged my hand with the hippos. Yes a new name before I fell to my death.

This obviously led me sliding down and landing directly in the dark waters. I heard many screams of ‘NO’ before I was surrounded with black waters of the sea. Wow having the great experience of deafening before death. Great. It really felt like it was night time. There was nothing visible around me. Soon my breadthening slowed. It was the end. The end of everything. Hope Byron finds someone to fight by his side for team chocolate ensuring our team’s win. And that’s when it came.

The very beautiful darkness, I had been waiting for.
