It was January 26^th and in New Delhi where many people had gathered to see the famous republic day parade where many people participate. In these many participants they were 4 children from Ootacamund, Akash, Josh, Emily and Rahul. Many parents were waiting to seeing their children receiving their bravery awards and so were the parents of the 4 children. It was a proud moment for the parents in seeing their kids mounted on the elephant and making a grand entry with a round of loud and proud applause. It gave them a sense of joy in being part of such a precious and amazing parade. The kids were felicitated into the parade. Applause was endless and people were cheering. Why were the children awarded with a bravery award why? What was their story that gave them a bravery award?

It was raining cats and dogs in Ootacamund. Josh was totally engrossed in watching television. All of a sudden the lights went out and it became pitch dark. Josh was scared of the dark, even though he was at home with his twin sister Emily, and their parents who were ghazal lovers had gone to watch a performance of Uday Narayan. Josh suddenly felt a movement behind him, he turned and looks but there was no one. There were spooky noises and the windows banged, he felt the movement again. It was an awkward and scary thing to happen. But he made up his mind not to look back. The banging went on and on and so did the noises until he forced to look back and saw his sister’s room door ajar. He taught he could go there and play his PSP. As he got up he spotted his sister behind the very sofa on which he was sitting, he realised that she was the one causing the sudden jerks to scare him.  When he inquired about the windows banging she gestured towards the kitchen, when he went in and saw Akash.

Akash was his best friend and neighbour.  Josh asked about the banging, he replied “have a look in the backyard, I think its Mr. Roy’s ghost who died a month ago???” This scared Josh so he asked Akash “Do you mind coming??”Akash answered “You’re scared about the ghost right?? Don’t worry I will come”. The ventured out in pitch dark guided by torch light but so no one.

The two got back home and related it to Emily. She said “they ought to be a prankster at work”. They all liked mystery stories. So they went about like professional detectives. They saw footprints in the garden that belonged to an adult. It had the initials of S.K. They thought of Santhosh Kumar a leading industrialist. But why was he here??

CHAPTER 2

OOTACAMUND TO MUMBAI

A famous industrialist here in our little Ootacamund was very awkward. But still the kids could not stop thinking about it even after 2 days past after the incident. It was a windy thunderous evening at Akashi’s house where the kids were all relaxing and playing a game of chess suddenly the lights went out and a mysterious noise inside the house was heard. The kids were dead scared. Their parents weren’t home. But somehow once the lights were back they gathered courage, and tiptoed to search the house. Oddly everything seemed in order except that in the ghazal rack seemed to be disturbed and shockingly the Uday Narayan CD`s had disappeared and all the others were there. And there was the Same S.K as the one on the footprints. It was strange. But this one had S.K Industries on it. Now the kids were sure it was Santhosh Kumar. In India there was only one S.K Industries.  Santhosh kept coming in the news for many things may it be the launch of a new company or some ad; basically he was a big newsmaker.  The kids got another friend from the block to join the team in finding about S.K. Rahul was the new boy who joined the team. After doing all the research and not gaining anything. They decided to put it to rest. But after a few days the friends decided to go to Mumbai as Ootacamund was too cold Once they reached their hotel they could feel the cool sea breeze and the birds flying above in there in own course. People were enjoying the beach and the beauty. With all the beauty Mumbai at the same time was the head office of many companies and so was it of S.K Industries the big company of S.K.

The kids spent a day or two sightseeing Mumbai. The weather was something which the kids cherished, as it was nice and warm not like Ootacamund which was cold. The kids were bored. After coming so far from Ootacamund they couldn’t forget the shocking and scary incident of Ootacamund. Still they hadn’t told their parents about the adventure. It started worrying the kids. So they were determined and strong on their decision to track S.K from his home which was near the kid’s hotel to his office which was their destination. They got cycles from a nearby shop on rent and zoomed off in the same speed as his car. Entering the building was one of their main worry. But Josh had that too figured out to enter his building they got in as media persons to escape from questions. So they got in. And went around and finally got into his cabin. They hid behind a tableland Started listening to a conversation between S.K and somebody on the phone. He was repeatedly saying “I’ll pay you”. After escaping from his office.They were shocked that S.K could ever be so furious. After one day of spying on Santhosh K.

After getting back to the hotel they wondered that should they go to Uday Narayan the ghazal singer who the kids and their parents liked alike. Or go and spy for another day?? .  If they went to Uday Narayan now they would not be any other important evidence other than the conversation. So they decided lets spy for another day or two. So Day 2 started quickly. The kids got on their cycles earlier than Day 1. Today they were given a free makeover by a stylist in their hotel. So they posed as journalists from a leading newspaper. They were in the office earlier than S.K. Before S.K came in they placed a camcorder to record the happenings. Today S.K was more exhausted and tired than yesterday. He wrote a cheque of 10 million $ to Gangsters and Co. And gave a letter to the assistant and said “Send this quick don’t delay we need him, it’s good for our company” The kids were startled that a big cheque of 10 million $ to some gangsters impossible.  They took the camcorder and ran and S.K shouted “thieves, thieves” the whole staff ran behind them through the busy streets of Mumbai. And the kids knew the roads well so they got on an auto and took towards their hotel. They were in the hotel and rushed not there room and bolted the door.

Chapter 3

Let’s meet U.N

Akash and Rahul peeped out of the window to see where the mob headed. They were heading towards the beach. Once the kids were back in the hotel room. The kids sat together and decided whether they have enough evidence to probe that S.K is kidnapping Uday Narayan. “Let us check the video I hope it has covered all we saw and heard “said Emily. Josh removed the camcorder and played the video. It was perfect. So the kids got the number of his office in Mumbai and took an appointment with him on the next day 11am. So the kids dressed normally without any makeover or any fake identity they were themselves not any journalists. So the kids took a drop with Rahul`s parents who were going towards that side of town. So they reached at 11am. U.N was there on time too. They went in and related the whole story from Ootacamund to Mumbai. He was shocked to see the video and hear that he was going to be kidnapped by some goons. He thanked the kids a lot for this information and told them “I never knew I had such good fans!!” The kids were to be in Mumbai for another month or more because Ootacamund   was too cold and their parents had work in Mumbai.

The kids went and played in the beach and were in the hotel for a long time.  The kids saw in the newspaper that U.N had increased his security after the kids informed him. He went all around Mumbai with protection. The kids got a call from U.N`s office saying that he wants the kids to meet him. On the way to his office they began wondering why they had been called so fast. In the office they took a seat and U.N told them even after 4 weeks no one has even tried to attempt to kidnap me. “You fooled me you made this up right?” he said. The kids answered by saying no but he was not ready to believe that they didn’t do on purpose it was an accident but no. U.N had informed their parents too. So once they got back they were also shouted at by then parents. Getting shouted at by two people in one day was too much so they felt ashamed.

Chapter 4

 Harbour #20 to Sri Lanka

The kids sitting in the living room of their room lazy and in a relaxed mood when out of the blue there was a call from U.N`s office which was odd as the last time they met they were ashamed but now they were called to meet him in 10 minutes. So they bolted the door and left immediately. On the way the minds of the kids were rattling on what was the reason of U.N calling them immediately. Was it something about his security? His life? They wondered about all sort of ideas but once they reached. They reached to find 5 police cars parked outside and tags reading `CRIME SCENE’   . Once they got in the police inquired that are you’ll the 4 who Uday had called 10 minutes back. The kid’s unison said “yes “and inquired “why are the police here??”. The inspector replied by saying “Mr. Narayan is kidnapped” The kids together said “huh!! He’s been kidnapped for real!!” “Is there anything you people know about him??” said the inspector. The kids retold the story with lots of difficulty as they couldn’t digest that he was kidnapped. Rahul asked “any idea where they’ve taken him?  The inspector said “No not yet we are trying to get the location of his phone”

It was a nice and sunny day in Mumbai. Every kid was enjoying his or her holidays but the 4 kids had more to think about. The next day they got a call from the police saying “we have found the address of Mr.Uday. We need you all to come and help us investigate. The kids were there in an instant. The police and kids together mastered a plan. The kids and police left for harbour #20. The kids slowly went into the harbour no.20 and tried taking Mr. Narayan who was tied up in a rope and tape on his mouth. Nor could he move or talk. The surroundings were dark and gloomy not a ray of sunshine nor any artificial light or anything. “Children coming to save you Mr.Narayan I should say you have a fan following” said the gangster. Soon the kids were also tied up with U.N. Before the kids could even blink there eye they could hear a buzzing noise. They hoped to take Mr.Uday when the police come. But the gangsters fled to sea by a ship with Mr.Uday.  Even though the police was there they couldn’t take Mr.Uday to safety. The next moment the kids were near the Head of Police Mr. Shah Vatsva.

He addressed the children to go and inform their parents of the story and tell them that they’ll have to come with the kids to Sri Lanka to get the thieves .the kids were shocked to know that they had to go to Sri Lanka. But why did they have to go couldn’t the police solve it?? After lots of thought process they couldn’t get why they had to go all the way to Sri Lanka. Until they asked Mr.Vatsva why they had to go? He answered by saying “We don’t have as much as information as you’ll know. The Mumbai police needs your help. Hope you could help us get the crooks” As soon as his sentence was over 4 cars pulled up and it took them to their hotel. Once they reached they told their parents the whole incident from Ootacamund to Mumbai. The parents were overwhelmed and proud that they have such brave, strong, intelligent kids.

Chapter 5

“Sri Lanka here we come”

The kids, their parents, and a police battalion including the head of police Mumbai they together were going to Sri Lanka by boat. It was a sunny day and a perfect morning to set sail. Light sea breeze passed through them. They were enjoying the sea breeze when they began discussing “but we don’t know who they are.” Mr.Vatsva said. Emily said “I think I know how he looks” Emily went with Mr.Vatsva to make a sketch. In half an hour there was a sketch of a man. They reached Colombo in 3 hours as they were going in a fast ship which was doing 40 knots. Once they were to reach Sri Lanka. They decided to meet the head of police Colombo Mr.Vatsva.

The sun’s rays were very sharp and strong. They were breathing fresh sea breeze. The Colombian police headquarters was a colonial and vintage styled building with a big pergola. They went in the cabin of Mr.Dilwan, the head of police Colombo and they took a seat. They related the whole story from Ootacamund to Mumbai to Sri Lanka. The police chief seeing the image was confused but then took a scan of the image and searched the records to find that he was Rakesh Jha, he was from Negombo, Sri Lanka. Mr.Dilwan said “he is top 10 most wanted criminals of Sri Lanka he has had a series of robberies in Sri Lanka. We have got news that he is interested in robbing Eppawala. It’s best that we take you all there and help get the crooks and Mr.Narayan”.

Chapter 6

Journey to North Central Sri Lanka

Eppawala, a very famous place of Sri Lanka where there are many mines where a large variety of gems are exploited, including sapphire, ruby, etc… The kids thought that what a nice place for the crooks to strike a robbery. In the meantime the kids found that one of the biggest festivals of Sri Lanka where going to happen. It was the Vesak a famous Buddhist festival celebrated here and in other countries like Singapore too. And a majority of people from   Eppawala celebrate this too. The time of the year to strike was perfect as people would be busy celebrating and Vesak being a public holiday, there will be no mining. So this time they require a better plan to get the crooks which will help get back the kidnapped Mr.Uday. Mr.Vatsva and Mr.Dilwan had decided that they review the plans of catching the crooks from Eppawala on 20^th April. Today was the 14^th of April. They had a week in hand to get a perfect plan.

The weather was perfect it would be rainy and then sunny. It was a mixed weather. Obviously the kids loved the weather as there were some sun rays which were a rarity in Ootacamund. But sadly the kids couldn’t get a chance to even enjoy the amazing weather because they had to get to work. In the recent meetings they had with the police they came to know that it takes 2 hours to reach Eppawala but in the festive season it will take 3 to 4 hours. So they had to be leaving on 16^th April. They left early as they could study the place well before implementing the plan. And they could make a few minor changes.

The melodious chirp of birds woke up the children who were deep in slumber. A ray of sunshine was seen in the room, followed by a knock on the door. As Akash got up to see who was there at the door. It was Rahul and Emily’s parents to wake them up. It was the 16^th the day they embarked on the adventurous, exciting and thrilling adventure to Eppawala. Wow!! The days pass so fast that they didn’t even realize that today was that day. With the plan all clear in their head they took a refreshing shower and left the room and had a bite at the vast breakfast buffet at their hotel.

Chapter 7

En route to Chilaw

 They checked out of the hotel and left for the police headquarters to pick up Mr.Dilwan who was escorting them to Eppawala. They left in a huge convoy of 10 cars with around 6 police cars. Throughout the week the main worry for everyone on the team was that is Mr.Uday safe? The police couldn’t even track his location. On the way they stopped on the highway for a little break. While having a break Mr.Dilwan got a call from Chilaw police station saying that they found the crooks in the main market place in an eatery. They are following them to the location. Chilaw was any how on the route to Eppawala so they decided to stop at Chilaw and catch the crooks in Chilaw itself other than going to Eppawala. The kids in unison cried “here we come Chilaw!!”Chilaw was a historic place where many great people where born. It was again a sea place.  It took an hour and a half to reach. Once they reached they went to the Police headquarters. Chilaw to the kids was a mini Colombo. It was a major seafood city. The police HQ was just a few minutes away from the market. As they got out of their respective cars they could hear the chirping of birds that were kept in a nearby cage. The strong sea-breeze went over there face it made it feel refreshing. They quickly went in the cabin of the head of police Chilaw. He told that “it was 12:20 noon when my police was going by their daily routine of checking the market. While checking two officers saw the crooks. They called me up and informed me. I told them to gather up the battalion and follow them. They are still following them. We have to leave by jet to reach quickly”.

Off they went to a nearby air force stations to board the roaring jet named `VIKING 600’. The ‘Viking 600’ was a wonderful jet. It was abode the air in just two minutes. They were on ground in just an hour. They got down the amazing jet. On ground was a fleet of cars. They rushed quickly. They got in the cars and left. They were following the crooks car. It was 10 cars vs. 2 cars of the crooks. It was a cat and mouse chase. The kids exclaimed “hey there are 5 people in the car, one of them might be Mr.Uday” There was a phone in the car they immediately dialled the number of Mr.Dilwan and Mr.Vatsva car. The kids were in a daze. Going left and right and sudden twists and turns. Mr.Vatsva said “thanks for the info we were planning to blow up the car” “sir do you know which route is this”said Emily. “ yes it’s the way to Eppawala”

“Oh!! My god!!  There’s lots of traffic we won’t catch up with them” said Akash. “It is all because of the Vesak celebrations.” Said Rahul.  It was nearly 5:30 and it was starting to get dark. The kids got a phone from Mr.Dilwan who said “there’s a lot of traffic. We won’t catch up with them in such traffic. So we will have to walk. Anyways in a few minutes we would reach Eppawala. Let’s go together.” They immediately left the car. They caught up with Mr.Vatsva and their parents and the entire battalion. They went towards the car and banged open the door. They were shocked to see that not a single soul was there. They could here screams from the front of the traffic jam. They ran for it. Once they came in front they saw that the thieves where running towards Eppawala Main Market. They ran towards them. The kids were quizzing in the mind whether they will catch them or not?? The questions were going on. And the answers were ahead.

Chapter 8

The Chase

The whole group ran behind the crooks. They went through the busy market which was closed. The fruit vendors cart was overturned. The knick-knack seller’s mirrors were shattered. The vegetables were squashed. The market wore a very devastated look which was caused because of this chase. The crooks were running in such speed that it was tough to catch up. Mr.Vatsva, Mr.Dilwan and the rest of them still had the question which was unsolved whether Mr.Uday is safe or is he under threat. Trying to solve all the questions in their mind, the kids lost track of Mr.Dilwan. His battalion was still there with the kids and their parents. They tried looking in the streets but they could only see the various lights that adorned the street and people enjoying food with the company of their family. Where was Mr.Vatsva? They had already lost Mr.Uday’s location and now Mr.Dilwan. After 15 minutes of thorough searching and asking people they didn’t yield any results. One of the officers from the battalion remembered that they could find out the location of his phone through GPS.

The bright idea worked. They tracked his location. It was in K.R Jewellery Mines. This was 10 mins from their current location. K.R jewellery was Sri Lanka’s biggest jeweller. Once they reached they tiptoed to the mines where they could hear voices. They saw that Mr.Uday was being kept hostage. A gun was kept on his temple and Mr.Uday s gun pointing towards the crooks. The kids had seen a movie-like scene for real. The officers from the battalion came behind the crooks and shot on of the gangsters. A gun battle began between the crooks and the police. After the end of a gruesome, wicked, and dirty battle. They saw that they didn’t yield any results after this too. Only 3 gangsters were injured. But the 2 others ran away with Mr.Uday. Mr.Dilwan or Mr. Shah and his battalion didn’t sustain any serious injuries, just a few minor bruises.  Mr.Dilwan was very thankful to the kids he said “you all have saved my life” It was nearly 8 pm and they were tracking them since 1 pm. From 8 hours of tracking Mr.Uday and the crooks they were unsuccessful. Could they catch the crooks or not it still remained unsolved and unclear. Everyone was disappointed that after 8 hours of chasing them they weren’t any help to Mr.Uday.

They decided to take a break and call it a day. After a tedious day from Colombo to Eppawala they decided to sleep at a city hotel and leave at dawn. They got up in the morning, fresh after a good sleep but yet they were still sad and disappointed and decided that today they will get the crooks without fail. As they went down to check out they saw everyone waiting for their arrival. They saw the headlines reading “K.R JEWELLERY MINES ROBBED, POLICE ENCOUNTER WITH CROOKS AT MINES. FAMOUS GHAZAL SINGER KIDNAPPED “. It was in the news that Mr.Uday was kidnapped it was not supposed to be released to media. It was a wish of Mr.Uday. They had a joint decision to go to the K.R Jewellery mines. Maybe they could find some leads of where Mr.Uday was taken. On the way to K.R Jewellery mines, Mr.Vatsva got a message saying that “send us 5 million today 5pm at J.R hills or else we will shoot Mr.Uday down J.R Hills. And no tricks here -Team JG” That was it. Mr.Vatsva called up the Indian embassy of Colombo and related the issue from the beginning of Ootacamund to Mumbai to Colombo to Eppawala. The embassy was shocked that how would they pay the price. But by the evening they had to cough up the cash.

Chapter 9

The Evening to be remembered

        It was a nice and rainy day. There wasn’t even a slight trace of sunlight in Eppawala. The whole team was ready to depart to J.R hills. J.R hills were a short drive from the hotel. But it took time to reach all the way up to the tip of the hill. The Indian embassy had coughed up the amount. It was a take and run case. They gave the money took Mr.Uday and then take the money and flee. This was the original idea. They reached the peak at 5 pm sharp. It was cold up the peak. The birds were swooping above the sky in a circle, which was a sign of rain. They saw that the crooks had also reached with Mr.Uday. Mr.Dilwan and Mr.Vatsva gave the bag with cash together and got in to the car with Mr.Uday who looked very tired and drained out. In the boot of the police car was a little surprise. It was 2 officers who would shoot through the glass and make Rakesh injured. So they were acting to leave but when they were about to go downhill they shot at his leg directly. He immediately fell to the ground. The other gang members started a gun battle but weren’t anywhere near the perfection of the officers aim. They made the others injured. They took the van of the crooks and loaded the injured crooks in the van and left.

They reached the police HQ and comforted Mr.Uday and told him they got the crooks. Mr Uday was very relived and thankful to everyone. He told them that Rakesh Jha was his assistant whom he trusted upon. He was worried about the cd`s that the gangsters had recorded his voice which they would make copies and sell it.  Mr.Dilwan and Mr.Vatsva relived him by saying they found it in the crooks car. Mr.Uday said “I was just thinking how to reward you people for saving my life from these crooks, I want to ask you all what would like? “The kids were touched and felt emotional. They replied by saying “we don’t need anything other than your safety. Just be safe. Let’s be friends and that’s all we want” “Weren’t we already friends” said Mr.Uday they felt really nice. “We ought to celebrate” said Mr.Vatsva.

“Ah! Finally back to India” said the kids in unison. It was a sense of relief. The news had spread like fire. The kids were stars. They were famous for instance when they reached the port. There was a group of people with garlands to welcome them. Mr.Uday had said that there are 20 more days of school. So they could stay at his home for 3 more days and leave on the 4^th day to Ootacamund. Their parents accepted the invitation as they too were big fans of Mr.Uday and adored his ghazal. And Ootacamund was too boring. The next day, Mr.Vatsva was invited over to Mr.Uday`s Juhu bungalow. It was a huge mansion which looked towards the sea and once they were in the balcony they could feel a strong fresh breeze and see the beauty of god. “It was an evening to remember” said Mr.Vatsva about the day when they successfully rescued Mr.Uday. The kids were agreeing to it too.

Chapter 10

Accolades for the children

Staying at Mr.Uday house was not the only reward they got. The Sri Lankan government awarded each of the 4 children 15000 rupees each as they showed bravery and have helped catching Sri Lankans most wanted crook. The government not only gave them a cash price, but also called them for their Republic day and invited them to a banquet organized for them by the president of Sri Lanka. After all these accolades the kids were overwhelmed. A few days after coming back from Mumbai the kids decide to open a detective agency in Josh and Emily`s backyard as this was the place where their first investigation began. The venture was a success as they were recognized worldwide professional detectives. From a 5 year old boy who lost his chocolate to a 30 year old who`s house had been robbed. For big cases like robbery, they would get in touch with the local police station. Another day like the others many people was queuing to solve their problems. Josh`s mom screamed from the kitchen saying “post for Josh, Emily, Akash and Rahul from the Government of India”. The kids ran to the kitchen to find out what the Indian government had sent for them. Emily readout the message “Hello Rahul, we would like to inform ant tell you that you are an awardees of the Bapu Gayadhani Award. We also invite you to the Raj Bhavan in New Delhi on November 14 2012 as Shrimati Prathiba Patil shall honour you with the award. And on the 15^th we would like to host a banquet in honour of all the awardees of the Indian Bravery Awards 2012. And also like you to take part in the republic day parade”. The kids couldn’t believe they were being awarded the bravery award 2012.

They weren’t 4 envelopes but there were 5 on was addressed to `the Indian detective agency’ which was the kids detective agency. They were anticipating what would be in the envelope. As Rahul opened it he saw a certificate from the Indian government stating that they were a government certified detective agency. Wow!! That was a lot of news for the kids to digest in one day. They framed the certificate and kept it on the table where they sit and solve the cases they get. After a few days news spread that they were certified by the government so they preferred going to them than to any other agency. It was a big boost for the kids and their work. In a few days school began and the paparazzi still continued throughout the neighbourhood. In school they were given the job to handle the cases of stolen things or lost books.

Time flew real fast. It was already the 10^th of November 2012. They got packing and took permission from the school for going to Delhi for 5days beginning from 12^th to 16^th November 2012. They couldn’t wait for the day. They left at 10:30 from Ootacamund to Coimbatore to the Capital of New Delhi. It took them nearly an hour to reach the airport then they left for Delhi which was 3 hours from Coimbatore.

Chapter 10

The President, the party and the paparazzi

On the journey on the plane the kids were guessing how it would be. How would they be welcomed? How they would be treated and what royalty would they be given, was the questions that were booming in the kids head. As they came out of the airport they saw many people holding banners quoting `the face of India-Rahul, Akash, Josh and Emily `. They could see a lot of media around them booming with questions about their adventure or how they were feeling being here in Delhi. They couldn’t answer them as they spotted a few people who were there to escort them to their hotel. They were in a convoy with police personnel’s. They were state guests and the president’s guests from today till the 15^th. The media and the fans couldn’t stop following them they even reached the hotel.

They were welcomed to the 7 star hotels with garlands and a tall glass of lemonade. They were shown in to the room and were informed that all the awardees will be meeting each other at the ballroom in the hotel at 8 pm today. It was still 6:15. They took a shower watched some TVs and got dressed for the ballroom meeting. The reached there by quarter past 8. They saw many dignitaries and children dressed in their best. The president spoke to all awardees and interacted well with everyone. The kids got a chance to relate their wonderful journey from Ootacamund to Sri Lanka. They had a splendid evening.

It was January 26^thand in New Delhi where many people had gathered to see the famous republic day parade where many people participate. In these many participants they were 4 children from Ootacamund, Akash, Josh, Emily and Rahul. Many parents were waiting to seeing their children receiving their bravery awards and so were the parents of the 4 children. It was a proud moment for the parents in seeing their kids mounted on the elephant and making a grand entry with a round of loud and proud applause. It gave them a sense of joy in being part of such a precious and amazing parade. The kids were felicitated into the parade. Applause was endless and people were cheering.

SPOOKY START

It was January 26^th and in New Delhi where many people had gathered to see the famous republic day parade where many people participate. In these many participants they were 4 children from Ootacamund, Akash, Josh, Emily and Rahul. Many parents were waiting to seeing their children receiving their bravery awards and so were the parents of the 4 children.

Why were the children awarded with a bravery award why? What was their story that gave them a bravery award?

It was raining cats and dogs in Ootacamund. Josh was totally engrossed in watching television. All of a sudden the lights went out and it became pitch dark. Josh was scared of the dark, even though he was at home with his twin sister Emily, and their parents who were ghazal lovers had gone to watch a performance of Uday Narayan. Josh suddenly felt a movement behind him, he turned and looks but there was no one. There were spooky noises and the windows banged, he felt the movement again. It was an awkward and scary thing to happen. But he made up his mind not to look back. The banging went on and on and so did the noises until he forced to look back and saw his sister’s room door ajar. He taught he could go there and play his PSP. As he got up he spotted his sister behind the very sofa on which he was sitting, he realised that she was the one causing the sudden jerks to scare him.  When he inquired about the windows banging she gestured towards the kitchen, when he went in and saw Akash.

Akash was his best friend and neighbour.  Josh asked about the banging, he replied “have a look in the backyard, I think its Mr. Roy’s ghost who died a month ago???” This scared Josh so he asked Akash “Do you mind coming??”Akash answered “You’re scared about the ghost right?? Don’t worry I will come”. The ventured out in pitch dark guided by torch light but so no one.

The two got back home and related it to Emily. She said “they ought to be a prankster at work”. They all liked mystery stories. So they went about like professional detectives. They saw footprints in the garden that belonged to an adult. It had the initials of S.K. They thought of Santhosh Kumar a leading industrialist. But why was he here??

CHAPTER 2

OOTACAMUND TO MUMBAI

A famous industrialist here in our little Ootacamund was very awkward. But still the kids could not stop thinking about it even after 2 days past after the incident. It was a windy thunderous evening at Akashi’s house where the kids were all relaxing and playing a game of chess suddenly the lights went out and a mysterious noise inside the house was heard. The kids were dead scared. Their parents weren’t home. But somehow once the lights were back they gathered courage, and tiptoed to search the house. Oddly everything seemed in order except that in the ghazal rack seemed to be disturbed and shockingly the Uday Narayan CD`s had disappeared and all the others were there. And there was the Same S.K as the one on the footprints. It was strange. But this one had S.K Industries on it. Now the kids were sure it was Santhosh Kumar. In India there was only one S.K Industries.  Santhosh kept coming in the news for many things may it be the launch of a new company or some ad; basically he was a big newsmaker.  The kids got another friend from the block to join the team in finding about S.K. Rahul was the new boy who joined the team. After doing all the research and not gaining anything. They decided to put it to rest. But after a few days the friends decided to go to Mumbai as Ootacamund was too cold Once they reached their hotel they could feel the cool sea breeze and the birds flying above in there in own course. People were enjoying the beach and the beauty. With all the beauty Mumbai at the same time was the head office of many companies and so was it of S.K Industries the big company of S.K.

The kids spent a day or two sightseeing Mumbai. The weather was something which the kids cherished, as it was nice and warm not like Ootacamund which was cold. The kids were bored. After coming so far from Ootacamund they couldn’t forget the shocking and scary incident of Ootacamund. Still they hadn’t told their parents about the adventure. It started worrying the kids. So they were determined and strong on their decision to track S.K from his home which was near the kid’s hotel to his office which was their destination. They got cycles from a nearby shop on rent and zoomed off in the same speed as his car. Entering the building was one of their main worry. But Josh had that too figured out to enter his building they got in as media persons to escape from questions. So they got in. And went around and finally got into his cabin. They hid behind a tableland Started listening to a conversation between S.K and somebody on the phone. He was repeatedly saying “I’ll pay you”. After escaping from his office.They were shocked that S.K could ever be so furious. After one day of spying on Santhosh K.

After getting back to the hotel they wondered that should they go to Uday Narayan the ghazal singer who the kids and their parents liked alike. Or go and spy for another day?? .  If they went to Uday Narayan now they would not be any other important evidence other than the conversation. So they decided lets spy for another day or two. So Day 2 started quickly. The kids got on their cycles earlier than Day 1. Today they were given a free makeover by a stylist in their hotel. So they posed as journalists from a leading newspaper. They were in the office earlier than S.K. Before S.K came in they placed a camcorder to record the happenings. Today S.K was more exhausted and tired than yesterday. He wrote a cheque of 10 million $ to Gangsters and Co. And gave a letter to the assistant and said “Send this quick don’t delay we need him, it’s good for our company” The kids were startled that a big cheque of 10 million $ to some gangsters impossible.  They took the camcorder and ran and S.K shouted “thieves, thieves” the whole staff ran behind them through the busy streets of Mumbai. And the kids knew the roads well so they got on an auto and took towards their hotel. They were in the hotel and rushed not there room and bolted the door.

Chapter 3

Let’s meet U.N

Akash and Rahul peeped out of the window to see where the mob headed. They were heading towards the beach. Once the kids were back in the hotel room. The kids sat together and decided whether they have enough evidence to probe that S.K is kidnapping Uday Narayan. “Let us check the video I hope it has covered all we saw and heard “said Emily. Josh removed the camcorder and played the video. It was perfect. So the kids got the number of his office in Mumbai and took an appointment with him on the next day 11am. So the kids dressed normally without any makeover or any fake identity they were themselves not any journalists. So the kids took a drop with Rahul`s parents who were going towards that side of town. So they reached at 11am. U.N was there on time too. They went in and related the whole story from Ootacamund to Mumbai. He was shocked to see the video and hear that he was going to be kidnapped by some goons. He thanked the kids a lot for this information and told them “I never knew I had such good fans!!” The kids were to be in Mumbai for another month or more because Ootacamund   was too cold and their parents had work in Mumbai.

The kids went and played in the beach and were in the hotel for a long time.  The kids saw in the newspaper that U.N had increased his security after the kids informed him. He went all around Mumbai with protection. The kids got a call from U.N`s office saying that he wants the kids to meet him. On the way to his office they began wondering why they had been called so fast. In the office they took a seat and U.N told them even after 4 weeks no one has even tried to attempt to kidnap me. “You fooled me you made this up right?” he said. The kids answered by saying no but he was not ready to believe that they didn’t do on purpose it was an accident but no. U.N had informed their parents too. So once they got back they were also shouted at by then parents. Getting shouted at by two people in one day was too much so they felt ashamed.

Chapter 4

 Harbour #20 to Sri Lanka

The kids sitting in the living room of their room lazy and in a relaxed mood when out of the blue there was a call from U.N`s office which was odd as the last time they met they were ashamed but now they were called to meet him in 10 minutes. So they bolted the door and left immediately. On the way the minds of the kids were rattling on what was the reason of U.N calling them immediately. Was it something about his security? His life? They wondered about all sort of ideas but once they reached. They reached to find 5 police cars parked outside and tags reading `CRIME SCENE’   . Once they got in the police inquired that are you’ll the 4 who Uday had called 10 minutes back. The kid’s unison said “yes “and inquired “why are the police here??”. The inspector replied by saying “Mr. Narayan is kidnapped” The kids together said “huh!! He’s been kidnapped for real!!” “Is there anything you people know about him??” said the inspector. The kids retold the story with lots of difficulty as they couldn’t digest that he was kidnapped. Rahul asked “any idea where they’ve taken him?  The inspector said “No not yet we are trying to get the location of his phone”

It was a nice and sunny day in Mumbai. Every kid was enjoying his or her holidays but the 4 kids had more to think about. The next day they got a call from the police saying “we have found the address of Mr.Uday. We need you all to come and help us investigate. The kids were there in an instant. The police and kids together mastered a plan. The kids and police left for harbour #20. The kids slowly went into the harbour no.20 and tried taking Mr. Narayan who was tied up in a rope and tape on his mouth. Nor could he move or talk. The surroundings were dark and gloomy not a ray of sunshine nor any artificial light or anything. “Children coming to save you Mr.Narayan I should say you have a fan following” said the gangster. Soon the kids were also tied up with U.N. Before the kids could even blink there eye they could hear a buzzing noise. They hoped to take Mr.Uday when the police come. But the gangsters fled to sea by a ship with Mr.Uday.  Even though the police was there they couldn’t take Mr.Uday to safety. The next moment the kids were near the Head of Police Mr. Shah Vatsva.

He addressed the children to go and inform their parents of the story and tell them that they’ll have to come with the kids to Sri Lanka to get the thieves .the kids were shocked to know that they had to go to Sri Lanka. But why did they have to go couldn’t the police solve it?? After lots of thought process they couldn’t get why they had to go all the way to Sri Lanka. Until they asked Mr.Vatsva why they had to go? He answered by saying “We don’t have as much as information as you’ll know. The Mumbai police needs your help. Hope you could help us get the crooks” As soon as his sentence was over 4 cars pulled up and it took them to their hotel. Once they reached they told their parents the whole incident from Ootacamund to Mumbai. The parents were overwhelmed and proud that they have such brave, strong, intelligent kids.

Chapter 5

“Sri Lanka here we come”

The kids, their parents, and a police battalion including the head of police Mumbai they together were going to Sri Lanka by boat. It was a sunny day and a perfect morning to set sail. Light sea breeze passed through them. They were enjoying the sea breeze when they began discussing “but we don’t know who they are.” Mr.Vatsva said. Emily said “I think I know how he looks” Emily went with Mr.Vatsva to make a sketch. In half an hour there was a sketch of a man. They reached Colombo in 3 hours as they were going in a fast ship which was doing 40 knots. Once they were to reach Sri Lanka. They decided to meet the head of police Colombo Mr.Vatsva.

The sun’s rays were very sharp and strong. They were breathing fresh sea breeze. The Colombian police headquarters was a colonial and vintage styled building with a big pergola. They went in the cabin of Mr.Dilwan, the head of police Colombo and they took a seat. They related the whole story from Ootacamund to Mumbai to Sri Lanka. The police chief seeing the image was confused but then took a scan of the image and searched the records to find that he was Rakesh Jha, he was from Negombo, Sri Lanka. Mr.Dilwan said “he is top 10 most wanted criminals of Sri Lanka he has had a series of robberies in Sri Lanka. We have got news that he is interested in robbing Eppawala. It’s best that we take you all there and help get the crooks and Mr.Narayan”.

Chapter 6

Journey to North Central Sri Lanka

Eppawala, a very famous place of Sri Lanka where there are many mines where a large variety of gems are exploited, including sapphire, ruby, etc… The kids thought that what a nice place for the crooks to strike a robbery. In the meantime the kids found that one of the biggest festivals of Sri Lanka where going to happen. It was the Vesak a famous Buddhist festival celebrated here and in other countries like Singapore too. And a majority of people from   Eppawala celebrate this too. The time of the year to strike was perfect as people would be busy celebrating and Vesak being a public holiday, there will be no mining. So this time they require a better plan to get the crooks which will help get back the kidnapped Mr.Uday. Mr.Vatsva and Mr.Dilwan had decided that they review the plans of catching the crooks from Eppawala on 20^th April. Today was the 14^th of April. They had a week in hand to get a perfect plan.

The weather was perfect it would be rainy and then sunny. It was a mixed weather. Obviously the kids loved the weather as there were some sun rays which were a rarity in Ootacamund. But sadly the kids couldn’t get a chance to even enjoy the amazing weather because they had to get to work. In the recent meetings they had with the police they came to know that it takes 2 hours to reach Eppawala but in the festive season it will take 3 to 4 hours. So they had to be leaving on 16^th April. They left early as they could study the place well before implementing the plan. And they could make a few minor changes.

The melodious chirp of birds woke up the children who were deep in slumber. A ray of sunshine was seen in the room, followed by a knock on the door. As Akash got up to see who was there at the door. It was Rahul and Emily’s parents to wake them up. It was the 16^th the day they embarked on the adventurous, exciting and thrilling adventure to Eppawala. Wow!! The days pass so fast that they didn’t even realize that today was that day. With the plan all clear in their head they took a refreshing shower and left the room and had a bite at the vast breakfast buffet at their hotel.

Chapter 7

En route to Chilaw

 They checked out of the hotel and left for the police headquarters to pick up Mr.Dilwan who was escorting them to Eppawala. They left in a huge convoy of 10 cars with around 6 police cars. Throughout the week the main worry for everyone on the team was that is Mr.Uday safe? The police couldn’t even track his location. On the way they stopped on the highway for a little break. While having a break Mr.Dilwan got a call from Chilaw police station saying that they found the crooks in the main market place in an eatery. They are following them to the location. Chilaw was any how on the route to Eppawala so they decided to stop at Chilaw and catch the crooks in Chilaw itself other than going to Eppawala. The kids in unison cried “here we come Chilaw!!”Chilaw was a historic place where many great people where born. It was again a sea place.  It took an hour and a half to reach. Once they reached they went to the Police headquarters. Chilaw to the kids was a mini Colombo. It was a major seafood city. The police HQ was just a few minutes away from the market. As they got out of their respective cars they could hear the chirping of birds that were kept in a nearby cage. The strong sea-breeze went over there face it made it feel refreshing. They quickly went in the cabin of the head of police Chilaw. He told that “it was 12:20 noon when my police was going by their daily routine of checking the market. While checking two officers saw the crooks. They called me up and informed me. I told them to gather up the battalion and follow them. They are still following them. We have to leave by jet to reach quickly”.

Off they went to a nearby air force stations to board the roaring jet named `VIKING 600’. The ‘Viking 600’ was a wonderful jet. It was abode the air in just two minutes. They were on ground in just an hour. They got down the amazing jet. On ground was a fleet of cars. They rushed quickly. They got in the cars and left. They were following the crooks car. It was 10 cars vs. 2 cars of the crooks. It was a cat and mouse chase. The kids exclaimed “hey there are 5 people in the car, one of them might be Mr.Uday” There was a phone in the car they immediately dialled the number of Mr.Dilwan and Mr.Vatsva car. The kids were in a daze. Going left and right and sudden twists and turns. Mr.Vatsva said “thanks for the info we were planning to blow up the car” “sir do you know which route is this”said Emily. “ yes it’s the way to Eppawala”

“Oh!! My god!!  There’s lots of traffic we won’t catch up with them” said Akash. “It is all because of the Vesak celebrations.” Said Rahul.  It was nearly 5:30 and it was starting to get dark. The kids got a phone from Mr.Dilwan who said “there’s a lot of traffic. We won’t catch up with them in such traffic. So we will have to walk. Anyways in a few minutes we would reach Eppawala. Let’s go together.” They immediately left the car. They caught up with Mr.Vatsva and their parents and the entire battalion. They went towards the car and banged open the door. They were shocked to see that not a single soul was there. They could here screams from the front of the traffic jam. They ran for it. Once they came in front they saw that the thieves where running towards Eppawala Main Market. They ran towards them. The kids were quizzing in the mind whether they will catch them or not?? The questions were going on. And the answers were ahead.

Chapter 8

The Chase

The whole group ran behind the crooks. They went through the busy market which was closed. The fruit vendors cart was overturned. The knick-knack seller’s mirrors were shattered. The vegetables were squashed. The market wore a very devastated look which was caused because of this chase. The crooks were running in such speed that it was tough to catch up. Mr.Vatsva, Mr.Dilwan and the rest of them still had the question which was unsolved whether Mr.Uday is safe or is he under threat. Trying to solve all the questions in their mind, the kids lost track of Mr.Dilwan. His battalion was still there with the kids and their parents. They tried looking in the streets but they could only see the various lights that adorned the street and people enjoying food with the company of their family. Where was Mr.Vatsva? They had already lost Mr.Uday’s location and now Mr.Dilwan. After 15 minutes of thorough searching and asking people they didn’t yield any results. One of the officers from the battalion remembered that they could find out the location of his phone through GPS.

The bright idea worked. They tracked his location. It was in K.R Jewellery Mines. This was 10 mins from their current location. K.R jewellery was Sri Lanka’s biggest jeweller. Once they reached they tiptoed to the mines where they could hear voices. They saw that Mr.Uday was being kept hostage. A gun was kept on his temple and Mr.Uday s gun pointing towards the crooks. The kids had seen a movie-like scene for real. The officers from the battalion came behind the crooks and shot on of the gangsters. A gun battle began between the crooks and the police. After the end of a gruesome, wicked, and dirty battle. They saw that they didn’t yield any results after this too. Only 3 gangsters were injured. But the 2 others ran away with Mr.Uday. Mr.Dilwan or Mr. Shah and his battalion didn’t sustain any serious injuries, just a few minor bruises.  Mr.Dilwan was very thankful to the kids he said “you all have saved my life” It was nearly 8 pm and they were tracking them since 1 pm. From 8 hours of tracking Mr.Uday and the crooks they were unsuccessful. Could they catch the crooks or not it still remained unsolved and unclear. Everyone was disappointed that after 8 hours of chasing them they weren’t any help to Mr.Uday.

They decided to take a break and call it a day. After a tedious day from Colombo to Eppawala they decided to sleep at a city hotel and leave at dawn. They got up in the morning, fresh after a good sleep but yet they were still sad and disappointed and decided that today they will get the crooks without fail. As they went down to check out they saw everyone waiting for their arrival. They saw the headlines reading “K.R JEWELLERY MINES ROBBED, POLICE ENCOUNTER WITH CROOKS AT MINES. FAMOUS GHAZAL SINGER KIDNAPPED “. It was in the news that Mr.Uday was kidnapped it was not supposed to be released to media. It was a wish of Mr.Uday. They had a joint decision to go to the K.R Jewellery mines. Maybe they could find some leads of where Mr.Uday was taken. On the way to K.R Jewellery mines, Mr.Vatsva got a message saying that “send us 5 million today 5pm at J.R hills or else we will shoot Mr.Uday down J.R Hills. And no tricks here -Team JG” That was it. Mr.Vatsva called up the Indian embassy of Colombo and related the issue from the beginning of Ootacamund to Mumbai to Colombo to Eppawala. The embassy was shocked that how would they pay the price. But by the evening they had to cough up the cash.

Chapter 9

The Evening to be remembered

        It was a nice and rainy day. There wasn’t even a slight trace of sunlight in Eppawala. The whole team was ready to depart to J.R hills. J.R hills were a short drive from the hotel. But it took time to reach all the way up to the tip of the hill. The Indian embassy had coughed up the amount. It was a take and run case. They gave the money took Mr.Uday and then take the money and flee. This was the original idea. They reached the peak at 5 pm sharp. It was cold up the peak. The birds were swooping above the sky in a circle, which was a sign of rain. They saw that the crooks had also reached with Mr.Uday. Mr.Dilwan and Mr.Vatsva gave the bag with cash together and got in to the car with Mr.Uday who looked very tired and drained out. In the boot of the police car was a little surprise. It was 2 officers who would shoot through the glass and make Rakesh injured. So they were acting to leave but when they were about to go downhill they shot at his leg directly. He immediately fell to the ground. The other gang members started a gun battle but weren’t anywhere near the perfection of the officers aim. They made the others injured. They took the van of the crooks and loaded the injured crooks in the van and left.

They reached the police HQ and comforted Mr.Uday and told him they got the crooks. Mr Uday was very relived and thankful to everyone. He told them that Rakesh Jha was his assistant whom he trusted upon. He was worried about the cd`s that the gangsters had recorded his voice which they would make copies and sell it.  Mr.Dilwan and Mr.Vatsva relived him by saying they found it in the crooks car. Mr.Uday said “I was just thinking how to reward you people for saving my life from these crooks, I want to ask you all what would like? “The kids were touched and felt emotional. They replied by saying “we don’t need anything other than your safety. Just be safe. Let’s be friends and that’s all we want” “Weren’t we already friends” said Mr.Uday they felt really nice. “We ought to celebrate” said Mr.Vatsva.

“Ah! Finally back to India” said the kids in unison. It was a sense of relief. The news had spread like fire. The kids were stars. They were famous for instance when they reached the port. There was a group of people with garlands to welcome them. Mr.Uday had said that there are 20 more days of school. So they could stay at his home for 3 more days and leave on the 4^th day to Ootacamund. Their parents accepted the invitation as they too were big fans of Mr.Uday and adored his ghazal. And Ootacamund was too boring. The next day, Mr.Vatsva was invited over to Mr.Uday`s Juhu bungalow. It was a huge mansion which looked towards the sea and once they were in the balcony they could feel a strong fresh breeze and see the beauty of god. “It was an evening to remember” said Mr.Vatsva about the day when they successfully rescued Mr.Uday. The kids were agreeing to it too.

Chapter 10

Accolades for the children

Staying at Mr.Uday house was not the only reward they got. The Sri Lankan government awarded each of the 4 children 15000 rupees each as they showed bravery and have helped catching Sri Lankans most wanted crook. The government not only gave them a cash price, but also called them for their Republic day and invited them to a banquet organized for them by the president of Sri Lanka. After all these accolades the kids were overwhelmed. A few days after coming back from Mumbai the kids decide to open a detective agency in Josh and Emily`s backyard as this was the place where their first investigation began. The venture was a success as they were recognized worldwide professional detectives. From a 5 year old boy who lost his chocolate to a 30 year old who`s house had been robbed. For big cases like robbery, they would get in touch with the local police station. Another day like the others many people was queuing to solve their problems. Josh`s mom screamed from the kitchen saying “post for Josh, Emily, Akash and Rahul from the Government of India”. The kids ran to the kitchen to find out what the Indian government had sent for them. Emily readout the message “Hello Rahul, we would like to inform ant tell you that you are an awardees of the Bapu Gayadhani Award. We also invite you to the Raj Bhavan in New Delhi on November 14 2012 as Shrimati Prathiba Patil shall honour you with the award. And on the 15^th we would like to host a banquet in honour of all the awardees of the Indian Bravery Awards 2012. And also like you to take part in the republic day parade”. The kids couldn’t believe they were being awarded the bravery award 2012.

They weren’t 4 envelopes but there were 5 on was addressed to `the Indian detective agency’ which was the kids detective agency. They were anticipating what would be in the envelope. As Rahul opened it he saw a certificate from the Indian government stating that they were a government certified detective agency. Wow!! That was a lot of news for the kids to digest in one day. They framed the certificate and kept it on the table where they sit and solve the cases they get. After a few days news spread that they were certified by the government so they preferred going to them than to any other agency. It was a big boost for the kids and their work. In a few days school began and the paparazzi still continued throughout the neighbourhood. In school they were given the job to handle the cases of stolen things or lost books.

Time flew real fast. It was already the 10^th of November 2012. They got packing and took permission from the school for going to Delhi for 5days beginning from 12^th to 16^th November 2012. They couldn’t wait for the day. They left at 10:30 from Ootacamund to Coimbatore to the Capital of New Delhi. It took them nearly an hour to reach the airport then they left for Delhi which was 3 hours from Coimbatore.

Chapter 10

The President, the party and the paparazzi

On the journey on the plane the kids were guessing how it would be. How would they be welcomed? How they would be treated and what royalty would they be given, was the questions that were booming in the kids head. As they came out of the airport they saw many people holding banners quoting `the face of India-Rahul, Akash, Josh and Emily `. They could see a lot of media around them booming with questions about their adventure or how they were feeling being here in Delhi. They couldn’t answer them as they spotted a few people who were there to escort them to their hotel. They were in a convoy with police personnel’s. They were state guests and the president’s guests from today till the 15^th. The media and the fans couldn’t stop following them they even reached the hotel.

They were welcomed to the 7 star hotels with garlands and a tall glass of lemonade. They were shown in to the room and were informed that all the awardees will be meeting each other at the ballroom in the hotel at 8 pm today. It was still 6:15. They took a shower watched some TVs and got dressed for the ballroom meeting. The reached there by quarter past 8. They saw many dignitaries and children dressed in their best. The president spoke to all awardees and interacted well with everyone. The kids got a chance to relate their wonderful journey from Ootacamund to Sri Lanka. They had a splendid evening.

The autumn’s silent winds lightly arouse the hunger in the air and the words unsaid, and the tangled, broken chills snarl around their spines. There are merciless hearts, dead promises. There are screams curling in the atmosphere, sharp as razors.

“You’re not human,” he whispers.

The daggers of his cold, expressionless blue eyes sink into hers. They fill with an unblocked anger and hatred beyond what the world has to offer. Then, they are pure ice, malicious and dangerous.

It’s all a game, and that’s what it has been for the entire hundred years.

She’s willing to play with her life to win.

A breathless moment spreads like fire in the space, before a long, unsuppressed laughter comes out. She feels frozen, almost electrocuted at the sound, as it storms into her ears while the realization settles in a split second. A desperateness forms at the pit of her stomach, bold and so real. Just like this was never a nightmare. Just like the past has come to haunt her.

No… Leave me alone…

Her heartbeat is racing in fear. From the side of her sight, she sees him unsheathe a knife, the rush of the tear upon the metal forcing her to close her eyes in burning tears. The hopelessness pounds, and the truth rises. Her body betrays her as her own fingers grasp tightly onto her weapon.

“It begins,” he whispers, almost softer than before. For a second, the absence of sound is high and dark, and the air thickens around her. Then he whirls on her, too fast for reality, and the thin, jagged blade traces cuts on the back of her neck.

She shivers.

She’s not afraid. Even as the blood seeps out of the long scar, sparkling and glistening under the silver moonlight, the pain is still numbing to her mind. The shock and static has already faded, and the lingering piece of fright is slowly easing. The irreplaceable patterns the knife has engraved on her skin is like a memory to keep forever, to cherish for the rest of eternity spent.

“Stop it,” her lips form. “Stop.”

His fingers run across the skin concealing her throat, light as a feather, barely brushing. For a moment, she wonders if it is just a breeze of the night, but the warmth that captures her forces it to be inevitable.

“I’m sorry it had to be you.” The sides of his lips slightly turn up.

“You don’t have a soul,” she hisses.

With that, he thrusts the knife into his target, and the blood spills out.

Yu To Chand bhi Bhatakta hai Rat Bhar
Me jo Bhatak gaya to Bat kya
Sari Duniya Roti hai Chup kar
Me jo thoda Ro liya to Bat Kya
Har Kisi Ko Talab hai Pyar Ki
Maine thoda Soch liya to Bat Kya
Roshni ki Chah to sab ko hai
Maine thoda Andhera mang liya to Bat kya
Zindagi k is Haseen Khwab me
Maine Use mang liya to Bat Kya
Har kisi ne Mehfil ko Chaha Yah
a Maine Tanhai ko Chaha to Bat kya
Yu to Chand bhi Bhatakta hai Rat bhar
Me jo Bhatak gaya to Bat kya

There i was- just your ordinary pup getting adopted by a kind average family with jodie(the mum) Steve (the dad) callie ( the daughter and my best friend) and dylan (the strange brother) i sat in the car and i heard mum and dad talking i was listening then they said “lets call him busta.” they gave me a cuddle and callie ( who was just a baby) smiled she liked me- the whole family did!

We got home and i sniffed out my new surroundings it smelt nice and friendly i felt welcome in this new yard. Jodie came out to see me and then turned to steve and said “what if he hurts callie.” what thats not very nice like i would hurt someone as adorable as callie- but dylan now that’s another story! from that moment on i vowed to never hurt callie or the rest of the family in any way what so ever.

i remember callie’s first birthday she had some friends over and i got the left overs of the party food but then i got a little bit too excited and accidently   hit callie with my tail she started to cry i went up to her and licked her to say “I’m sorry.”

after the party, she was playing with her ball then she lost it and accused me of having it so she stuck her hand in my mouth and down my throat i didn’t mind i just kept my mouth open.

a few years later (when callie was 4 and 1 month old) a new family member came in the family- Tegan i went up to tegan and sniffed her.

not long after she was born, we all moved houses to a place that wasn’t as good as a house as the other one when callie turned 6, she was playing in the back yard when suddenly she fell over i came running to her rescue she laughed when i came up to her she really liked it.

then we moved again to a much better house one day the girls were dancing on a plastic table and i thought that i might join them i put my two front paws on the table and BOOM we all fell through it tegan and myself were alright but callie had 3 cuts on her- one on her back, one on her leg and one on her hand- oh no i had hurt her again! but callie was not crying she was just laughing but she was a bit embarrassed.

one month before our tenth birthday ( i shared a birthday with Callie) we welcomed another animal a little Labrador puppy- bindi i sniffed her out and ran around i was sooooo happy to have a friend with me so happy that i ripped up my favorite  toy.

i cuddled up to bindi and then ran around like the day would never end i had a friend.

4 months before my 13th birthday, i suddenly felt sick i didn’t eat and could hardly walk callie came out and started to cry “remember when we got bindi, and how happy you were, make sure you visit me i am going to be lost without my bussy- i don’t know life with out you busta why do you have to go? i will miss you soo much no bussy no don’t be sick don’t leave me i just wish i could hear you bark just 1 more time, i don’t like seeing you like this bussy i mean you are my twin we have something special.”

then jodie and steve took me for 1 last car ride we went down to a place where 2 kind ladies put a needle in me the pain went away and then i was gone-away from the family and the world.

Danger Days – Chapter Four – SING

“Sing it for the boys, sing it for the girls

Every time that you lose it sing it for the world

Sing it from the heart, sing it till your nuts

Sing it out for the ones that’ll hate your guts!”

Caledonia smiled a little to herself as they neared the Unit. The turnpike was closed, but that was no problem. She pressed her foot to the accelerator, watching as the gage slowly crept up till it was flat out.

The Guards turned. Too late. They were knocked flying as the car crashed through the turnpike, sending it shattering to the floor.

Before a dark mist descended over his eyes, a Guard reached up weakly and pressed the intercom.

“Boss…they’re here…”

“I knew they’d come…”

Ashe looked up from the shiny red ball she was sat playing with and smiled at the woman in the grey business suit. The woman smiled. But her eyes didn’t light up. It was like a mask. Ashe looked away quickly…then heard the shattering of the glass and the shots of laser guns. A huge grin spread across her face as Mika and Caledonia kicked down the glass doors and stormed in.

The guards dropped dead and the woman had run, to call more Guards, shouting in a foreign language into a two way radio.

“Let’s go, Ashe!” Mika grabbed Ashe’s hand and the three ran, towards the exit.

“Going somewhere?” BARON stepped out in front of them, surrounded by Guards. Caledonia spun on her heels. More Guards were behind her, laser guns at the ready.

Mika hid Ashe under a table before retrieving her laser gun, stood back to back with Caledonia.

The chaos unfolded before Ashe’s eyes. Lasers rushed through the air and she felt the heat from some as they whizzed past her face.

More Jokers had turned up. Some Ashe recognised. Poison, Lithium and ExterminatorExploder…all dressed in their signature colourful outfits, their names brandished on the side of their laser gun.

She placed her hands over her ears. The noise was unbearable. Alarms were blaring; the shots were loud and resounded throughout the Unit.

The Guards were on the floor and BARON had fallen to the floor, injured, but still alive. And that was that. No messing around. Time to get out of here. And fast.

Ashe, Caledonia, Mika, Lithium and Poison ran for it…almost there!

BOOM!

A laser resounded through the air and two bodies hit the floor

Grasping his hand, a few tears escaped out of her eyes. So much for the ‘never cries’ trait. He looked up at her, eyes half open, partially glazed over. The tears continued to silently roll down her cheeks. Blood covered the ground, and continued to pool around them. Shakily, she used her other hand to grip the dagger embedded in his chest. A single tear rolled down his cheek, and he nodded, so small she hardly noticed. “I’m sorry…’ She whispered, then yanked the blade out. Blood spilled everywhere, and he smiled, and then the light slowly left his eyes. The marks on his upper arms and ankles lit with blue light, then faded away. She caressed his face, and then withdrew her hand. The blade was small, but it had gone in deep. Gently, she wiped off the blood, then inserted it into her sheath. She jerked up as the sound of many men on horses drifted through the trees. Out from the forest burst a dozen men. Presumeably soldiers of Broken, one of King’s enemies. The man in front released a charm that immobilized her. She scowled, frozen in place. The soldiers circled her on their horses, then dismounted. The leader wrapped her in chains, then tied her to the back of a horse. They gagged her, then removed the charm. The lead man mounted in front of her, then took off. She was in for a long ride.

This is part 1 of my story  named: Changes

here it is:

Changes

Art Sketchbook. That is my wonderfully weird name. I am 11, I love to paint and draw, I hope to become a famous artist one day. I have pearl white hair that falls down to my waists and bright red eyes that glistens in the vivid sun. I don’t have any friends at school because they all think I am a freak with my red eyes and white hair; I do have one best friend though, her name is Viola and she is 8 years old, Viola is from Hungary and is being home-schooled. I wish she could come to my school but she can’t speak English and only Hungarian. I am half Russian and half English, I can speak Hungarian because I lived there when I was 5 and moved her to London when I was 8. I live with my Dad who is English, My Russian Mum is in Africa working with orphans, I want her here, she only visits three times a year; she is coming in a few weeks and I am so happy!

Viola just called me; she says she has some sad news, very sad news… She is moving… back to Hungary. But she CAN’T go! She simply CAN’T! Viola is my only friend, she is my best friend! What will I do without her? I feel tears spilling down my cheeks, they are wetting my shirt, I am going to Miss Viola so much; I am going to miss her blonde hair that touched her hips and her hazel eyes which looked like yummy nuts.

I hear a knock on my door, then it opens, dad is standing there, a sad expression is on his kind face.

“Dad… She can’t, she can’t…” I tell him still with tears flooding out my eyes.

“I know its sad dear, but she has got to go… Her family is being kicked out of the country so they HAVE to go…” He told me quietly. He puts his arm around my shoulders and holds me tight.

“Don’t worry art, you will find a new friend sooner or later…” He said.

“But dad, I will be lonely without Viola, I HAVE no other FRIENDS!” I yelled loudly and angrily.

“Viola CANNOT go!!! She HAS to STAY!!!” I screamed. I turned around and went to my bed and laid on it not looking at dad.

“I hate you!!! Why can’t you do anything about it!!” I shouted at my dad. I turned round and saw him, he looked sad, I then stood up and walked over to him hugging him tight, feeling guilty for shouting at him.

“Sorry dad… I didn’t mean to… I know you can’t do anything and if you could you would try your best…” I said still hugging him and crying which was making his shirt get wet. Dad sat down next to me and we both were just in silence for a few minutes.

“Art, I am going to make dinner okay? You can go visit Viola if you want, I phoned her mother a few minutes ago” Dad said to me as he stood up. He went out the door and closed it. I decided to visit Viola for the last time since she was leaving tomorrow….

Chapter 3, finally made it  

Ok, as we found out before Nash is getting ready to go to the H.Y.G.T university. So when Nash enters the university, she gaps in shock at the size of the place and says ” Ok now I’m dreaming” a wide  corridor opens up into four other path-ways, there were pictures of different singers, guitar players, drummers, you name it. It was all there, as Nash was walking down the corridor she turned and saw a picture of Usui Chan on the cover of his first album, you know the song bebe. Nash laughed and said “great! of all great singers on earth they choose him, you know instead Usui the could have put a mouse as a poster, there is not much difference between the 2 anyways except that the mouse would look way better”. As you can see Nash was not clearly an Usui fan . So as she was talking to herself, she was interrupted by a sweet british voice that said ” I most willingly agree with you, I am not really a fan of Usui myself but he is a sweet boy” .”Yeah sure and ostriches can fly” replied Nash. “Really I was not aware of that fact” said the lady with a cheeky smile, she was avery beautiful lady who might have been in her thirties, she had an african complexion and beautiful grey eyes. Her hair was quite long and black. The lady then introduced herself to Nash by saying “good day child, I am Caressa Montero the principal of this fine intitution, and you must be Natasha Montez, Are you lost?”. “Hi, Miss Caressa it’s cool to know you, yeah I guess I am kinda lost, I’m looking for the audition room. “Oh why ofcourse I will show you the way”. As the walked into the auditioning room she found her voice echoing through the voice of the room, it was a huge dark, semi-lit up room with small twinkling stars on the ceiling, “these stars make me feel comfortable while hearing the beautiful voices of the students” said the principal. The climbed down thew stairs  wher four dark red judge’s chair stood, with three judges already seated. then the principal went and took her seat. For a moment there was silence. Then the principal turned around and said “go on Nash”. Nash slowly climbed the steps of the stage. She stood and felt the judes staring for a moment she felt nervous but then she picturedherself in front of a life audience and sang. After a while of singing she stopped. She waited for the three judges to speak, “amazing simply amazing” said one of the judges, “yes i really loved the tones of your voice it was hypnotizing” said another. But the principal remained quiet, after a long while she took a deep breath and said” You have a beautiful voice there is know doubt about that but, I want to ask you one thing , you see Nash this school only looks for the best of the best, we build up stars not only by training their voices but setting up a character for the star we are we sending out. What a star must possess and i am not going to be subtle about that, you must possess confidence, one gift which people rarely get to possess . So are you up for the challenge.”YES! singing is my world and one thing I love even more than food I’ll do it!” shouted Nash. “Ok thats all I needed to know” said the principal. “So I’m in” asked Nash. “Yes” she replied. This was Nash’s first step to stardom, she had finally made it.
