As Zayn stood, facing the imposing figures before him, his heart raced with a mixture of fear and determination. Sensing the danger, Zayn's protective instincts kicked in, and he vowed to protect his sister from harm at all costs.
Meanwhile, Aanya's heart skipped a beat as she heard her mother's voice calling out from the kitchen. Sensing trouble, she hurried to join Zayn at the door, her mind racing with questions.
As she approached, she caught sight of the tense standoff unfolding before her. Zayn, with a steely resolve in his eyes, stood his ground against the intruders, refusing to back down despite the threat they posed.
'تو آپ مشہور انیا خان نواب ہیں' said the taller man from the two.
(So you are the infamous Aanya Khan Nawab)
'اسے کیسے پتہ چلا؟' my mind wandered off.
(How did he know?)
"انیا، دروازے پر کون ہے؟" their mother's voice rang out and I got kicked back into reality of the situation, her footsteps drawing closer. Aanya's mind raced as she weighed her options, her instincts urging her to protect her family at all costs.
(Aanya, who's at the door?)
With a deep breath, Aanya stepped forward, her voice calm yet firm. "میں انیا خان ہوں۔ تم کیا چاہتے ہو؟" she demanded, her gaze unwavering as she faced the strangers.
(I'm Aanya Khan. What do you want?)
The tall figure's lips curled into a sinister smile as he took a step closer, his eyes glinting with malice. "ہم یہاں عزت مآب مڈ نائٹ کی طرف سے ہیں، جس کے پاس جو مسودہ ہے اس میں اس کا ذاتی مفاد ہے، اسے بغیر کسی پریشانی کے سونپ دو ورنہ آپ کے ساتھ بدترین طریقے سے نمٹا جائے گا۔." he replied, his voice dripping with menace.
(We're here on behalf of His highness Midnight, who has a vested interest in the manuscript you possess, Hand it over without any problems or you will be dealt with in the worst way possible.)
"اور میں جہانگیر خان کی بیٹی کے ساتھ ایسا نہیں کرنا چاہتا۔" he added, his eyes shining with something like remorse, it was as if I imagined it because they switched back to the heartless, cold shape they had.
(And I don't want to do that to the daughter of Jahangir Khan)
Aanya was shocked that this one book was able to stir enough problem to have the most brutal ruler send his people to her house, لیکن اب کیوں؟ اتنے سالوں کے بعد صرف وہاں رہنے کے بعد اور اب اسے اس میں دلچسپی کیوں ہے؟ جب میں نے اسے لیا؟
(But why now? Why after all these years of it just being there and now he has an interest in it? When I took it?)
Aanya's heart sank as she realized the true extent of the danger they were in. The manuscript held secrets that could change the course of history, and it seemed that others would stop at nothing to obtain it.
But Aanya refused to cower in the face of adversity. With a steely resolve, she squared her shoulders and met the stranger's gaze head-on. "I won't hand over the manuscript to you," she declared, her voice ringing with defiance.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
The tension in the air crackled with anticipation as the standoff continued, each side unwilling to back down. But little did Aanya and Zayn know, their lives were about to be irrevocably changed by the events that were about to unfold.
As the strangers advanced, Zayn stepped protectively in front of Aanya, his fists clenched at his sides. "You'll have to go through me first," he warned, his voice trembling with the weight of his determination.
The tall figure's eyes narrowed as he regarded Zayn with a mixture of amusement and disdain. "Very well," he said, his voice dripping with contempt. "If that's how you want to play it."
Before Zayn could react, the stranger lunged forward with lightning speed, his movements fluid and precise. Zayn barely had time to register what was happening before he found himself knocked off balance, stumbling backward with a cry of surprise. But he was not touched by a person.
Aanya's heart pounded in her chest as she watched in horror, her mind racing with fear and adrenaline. She knew she had to act fast to protect her brother, but she felt paralyzed with indecision, unsure of how to defend themselves.
But just as all hope seemed lost, a sudden burst of energy surged through Aanya's veins, filling her with a newfound sense of strength and resolve. With a cry of determination, she stepped forward, her hands crackling with energy as she summoned the power within her.
The air around her shimmered with an otherworldly glow as she unleashed a torrent of energy at their attackers, her movements fluid and precise. The strangers recoiled in surprise, their expressions shifting from arrogance to fear as they realized they had underestimated their opponents.
'How did I do that' she whispered to herself thinking it was a dream while staring at her hands.
"HAH, I KNEW YOU COULD WEILD IT, JAHANGIR'S DAUGHTER!" said the taller man.
"Wield what?" Aanya whispered.
But just as victory seemed within their grasp, disaster struck with a sudden and unexpected force. With a flash of movement, one of the other man unleashed a devastating blast of energy, sending Aanya and Zayn flying backward with a cry of pain.
As darkness closed in around them, Aanya felt a surge of despair wash over her. She had failed to protect her family, and now they were paying the price for her mistakes.
But even as her strength waned and her vision blurred, Aanya refused to give up hope. With her last ounce of strength, she reached out to Zayn, her voice barely a whisper as she whispered words of encouragement.
"We'll get through this together," she promised, her voice filled with determination. "No matter what happens, I'll always protect you."
With those words echoing in her ears, Aanya slipped into unconsciousness, her mind swirling with visions of a world torn apart by darkness and despair. But even in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of hope.
But stripped away....
As Aanya and Zayn struggled to fend off their attackers, a sudden change swept through the room, engulfing the floor in a sinister black mist. The air grew thick with a sense of foreboding, and a chill ran down Aanya's spine as she felt something inhuman enter the house.
The darkness seemed to pulse with malevolence, casting twisted shadows across the room and obscuring their surroundings. Aanya and Zayn exchanged panicked glances, their hearts pounding with fear as they searched for any sign of their mysterious assailants.
Suddenly, a voice echoed through the darkness, low and ominous, sending shivers down Aanya's spine. "You are protected, child," it whispered, the words sounding foreign yet strangely sacred.
Aanya's breath caught in her throat as she felt the presence draw near, the darkness closing in around her with suffocating intensity. She blinked in disbelief as the black mist swirled before her, taking on an almost tangible form.
With a surge of terror, Aanya realized that they were facing something far more sinister than they had ever imagined. And as the darkness enveloped her, she braced herself for whatever horrors awaited them in the depths of the night.
