King of the Woods

Part 19

I could feel a few tentacles wrapped around me. At first, I was kinda annoyed that Aakil has so many, but now I am used to them. When I try to push the tentacles away so I could get up, they don't let me. Ugh. What a yandere. 

"Aakil, do you know what a yandere is?" I ask him hesitantly. 

"A what?" "Um. Someone who is willing to do anything for their love." He stares at me intently. 

"Yes. Then, I am a yandere, mate." I almost choke. 

"You are willing to kill for me?!" Aakil comes closer and closer and even closer. "Is there is a problem with that?" 

Well, this got intense. Is he actually a yandere though? 

"Aakil?" He laughs.

 "No, babe. It's Aniket now. Aakil wanted some rest from yesterday." 

What the heck? He could have warned me. Again, like I said before, Aniket is based more on emotion than logic. So, I was talking to Aniket before? Oh ok. I start to get up from the sofa that we were sitting on, but his tentacles won't let me. Ah so annoying. 

"Aniket, darling," his eyes soften "could you please let me go?" His eyes turn even darker than they already are. I shiver in slight fear for his enemies. He then pulls me on his lap. I blush. "W-what are you d-doing??" He sniffs me. "MINE." He says loudly. I just need some time to myself. I am so tired of being under his overbearing gaze all the time. Thankfully, someone knocks on the door. 

Aniket's eyes never leave mine, but asks, "WHO IS IT!" More like roars it. The door slams open and in comes in Jay, Aakil's brother. I almost forgot about him. Jay prances in oblivious to his brother's venomous stare. "Kaaya is pretty. I want to show her to my friends." He simply states. My eyes widen and feel Aniket shaking under me, but his hold loosens. I quickly wiggle myself out of there and grabs Jay's hand. We book it out of there and hear the ferocious growl rip through the jungle. 

Aakil was fine a few days ago when we had our rain outing, but lately, he's getting more possessive. He keeps saying someone is trying to take me away from him. Maybe he's just looking out for me, but for four days! Who keeps someone in lockdown for 4 days. But, if its not about going outside, he agreed to everything else. But, now is not the time to think about that. I legit have a monster trailing me now. 

I know he won't kill me, but Jay, his little brother is with me. To be honest, I don't know if he might hurt his brother so I am kinda worried. I can feel fast steps heading toward us. I could  feel my heart beat racing. Jay grabs my hand, but his little legs can't carry him far. I take him in my arms and try running faster. 

God, I am out of shape. I stop to take a breath. But, I continue to go when I hear footsteps approaching us. I don't want to run away from Aakil- Aniket, but if he's like this, it might put other people in danger. I keep running, but I then I bump into a hard chest. 

Jay lands on top of me, but at least he doesn't get hurt. I get up and hold Jay's hand. A weird man wearing a hood comes through. "Wow..." He mumbles under his breath. I don't have time to comprehend what he is saying. "Please hide us for now!" I quickly tell him. "Hm........ok.." I thank him and he motions for us to follow him. 

We go between some trees when I am suddenly my wrist is grabbed and I am pulled away from Jay. 

Jay tries to push through to get to me, but he doesn't have his full monster strength yet. Some other people in cloaked hoods take him away. 

That's the last thing I see before I am knocked out.
