"Are you alright?"She heard a smooth male voice and then splash! She felt herself drowning.......choking on the water that entered her nostrils.

She coughed furiously before her eyes fluttered open. The grey outlines of stones appeared before she saw a man sitting beside her and then another a little away.

She choked on the sob that was about to break free.

"NO! NO! NO...PLEASE!"She screamed her loudest in an attempt to defend herself against these brutes but she knew subconsciously, that it was all futile. They were a lot overpowering than her!

"It's almost an hour. I must not have sent them at all!" Nair was regretting his choice at the moment. What if something happens to them? What if the troops lays their hands on them?
"OH DAMN!" He gripped his locks tightly. "And what would have you done? Go with them and get us all arrested?" Meghraj defended. " There's that regiment surrounding every corner of this town and the next to this and then next to that as well. Sniffling like bloodhounds for the two of US!"
