Chapter 8: successor of the Shadows
The old man looked at Ravinder Kumar once again and asked, "Have you found out the identity of any wolf-man?" "No sir, I have not been able to identify it yet, but the claws and teeth marks found on the bodies found in the forest indicate that this is their work." "How can you say with such confidence on this basis that this is their work?" "Sir, the people who were attacked in the forest had a sketch made during the interrogation. It exactly resembles them." Ravinder Kumar said.
After listening to Ravinder Kumar's entire statement, the old man thought for a while and said- "...! You tell all our people to keep a watch on every inch of our place. And give our weapons to everyone. Also tell them that as soon as they find any wolf-man, they should first inform me or you. Those people are very dangerous. It is very difficult to identify them in human form. As you know, the enmity between our tribe and them is very old. If they identify us or our people, they will not leave us alive. So tell our people to first identify them and then keep an eye on them."
"Yes Sir... I will distribute weapons to everyone. And I will also explain to everyone what they have to do. After this their meeting ended. On the other side Ranvijay and Jayant Kumar were talking with Vikas in a room. "Vikas, you make a team in which include such officers who are perfect for this work. And Jayant ji...! You go to the hospital and meet Alok. If he is fine then ask him if he can help us in this work?" Ranvijay told Jayant and Vikas their respective tasks. After this Jayant and Vikas left from there. Jayant reached the hospital and met Alok. "How are you Alok? And how is your hand now?"
"I am fine sir. I will be discharged from the hospital in a day or two." Alok said. After this, when Alok saw Jayant's face, he looked a little worried. "Jayant sir...! You seem to be a little tensed! What's the matter?" Alok asked looking at Jayant. "Alok, you know how much has happened here. That animal is also roaming freely. I am not able to understand whether it will be right to ask you this in this situation or not?" Jayant said looking at Alok with a worried expression. "Jayant sir, please tell me clearly what the matter is? What do you want to ask me?" Alok asked. "Ranvijaya sir has sent me to you to know whether you will be able to support us in this matter?" Jayant asked Alok hesitantly. Alok started smiling after listening to Jayant. "Oh sir, I wanted to ask this to you myself. But you took the initiative and asked. Anyway, I am bored lying here." Alok said smiling. After hearing this from Alok, Jayant looked at Alok's hand and said- "But Alok...! Your hand is not completely healed yet. In such a situation, how will you be able to do all this?" Alok could understand Jayant's worry. Still, he said smilingly- "Sir, I know that I cannot help you in this condition right now. But I know some people who are experts in tracking such animals. I will talk to them. They will help you completely." Saying this, Alok picks up the phone kept on the table near him and starts calling someone.
"Hello Tanishk Yadav...! I have a work for you. Come and meet me immediately." Saying this, Alok hung up the phone and looking at Jayant said, "Jayant Sir... Yadav is my cousin. He will help you completely. And I will also be ready to help you. Once this plaster is removed, then I will be able to help you properly. Till then Vansh will be with you to help you" Alok said while assuring Jayant. After talking to Alok, Jayant came out of the hospital and called Ranvijay. "Hello Ranvijay Sir.... Alok is ready to help us. He has a brother Yadav, who is a tracker. He will also help us." Jayant said to Ranvijay. "This is a very good thing. The more help we can get right now, the better it will be. Do one thing, come and meet me in the evening. I have to talk about something important." Saying this, Ranvijay hung up the phone. On the other hand, Arjun was busy in calming Gargi at his home and explaining his point. But Gargi was not ready to listen to anything he said. "You stay away from me. Don't touch me. I just want to go home." Gargi said angrily looking at Arjun.
"Gargi, try to understand. You are no longer a normal human being. You have become a wolf .. Until you control yourself, it is not safe for you to be around people. Even your father is in danger from you. New wolves are very thirsty for blood. In such a situation, humans are the easiest prey for them. They can easily kill them and drink their blood. I am a wolf man by birth. That is why I can control myself. I can also eat food like normal people. But drinking blood is necessary for us wolves. That is why whenever I feel thirsty, I drink the blood of animals. I believe that this does not give as much strength as drinking human blood. But the thirst is quenched. But if the wolf man drinks human blood once, he loses control over himself. He is very powerful." Arjun said while explaining everything to Gargi.
After listening to Arjun's entire talk, Gargi started thinking what will happen to her now? How will her father be able to live without her? Thinking all this, Gargi looked at Arjun and asked- "Does this mean that I will have to drink human blood now? No...! This can never happen. I want to talk to my father. He must be worried about me. He will not even know that you have brought me here." Arjun could understand how Gargi must be feeling right now. But still he could not let Gargi meet her father. "Gargi, understand what I am saying. Until you are able to control yourself, we cannot tell anything to anyone. Neither can you meet your father. If you meet your father and you are not able to control yourself, then you can harm your father." On the other hand, Gargi's father and Vansh were getting worried in the hospital thinking that where did Gargi go? Gargi's father was not able to understand anything, so he called Jayant and informed him about this. After hearing from Gargi's father about Gargi's disappearance from the hospital, Jayant came to the hospital and talked to Gargi's father and the doctors. But they too did not know anything about this.
Jayant talked to the doctor and saw the CCTV footage of the hospital but nothing was found in it. There were cameras installed in the corridors of the hospital but due to the absence of cameras in the rooms, it was not possible to know what happened in Gargi's room and where and how she suddenly disappeared. Even more surprising was that there was no camera in the room so nothing was visible. But there were cameras everywhere in the corridor. If anyone came in or went out of the hospital, he would definitely be seen in the corridor cameras. But there was no footage of Gargi leaving the hospital. Jayant also saw the footage of the CCTV cameras installed outside the hospital but nothing could be found out from that as well. After this, Jayant asked Gargi's father about Gargi.
Took a photo and asked to file a missing report. Gargi's father also agreed to Jayant's suggestion and filed a report about Gargi's disappearance. After filing the report, the police started looking for Gargi.
After this, Jayant called Ranvijay and said, "Hello Ranvijay Sir...! There is a problem here. One of the girls from the group of boys and girls who were attacked in the jungle was admitted in the city hospital. She has suddenly disappeared from the hospital. I have seen the CCTV footage here but there is no footage of that girl going out of the hospital. I am not able to understand where she went?" Jayant told Ranvijay everything. After listening to everything, Ranvijay told Jayant to talk to Gargi's father and ask him to file a missing report for Gargi. Then Jayant told Ranvijay that he had already talked to Gargi's father and got her missing report filed.
"Jayant ji...! I am not able to understand what is happening? First the attack on those boys and girls, then the girl's sudden disappearance from the hospital...! There must be some secret behind all these matters...? Jayant ji, do one thing, call this girl's friends to the police station. It is possible that we can get some information about her from her friends." Ranvijay said to Jayant while thinking something. On one side where all this was happening. On the other side preparations for a big war were going on. Chandrakala clan had laid a trap to kill the wolves. But they did not even know that there is a traitor among them, who has told everything about the planning of Chandrakala clan. And he had also told about the identity of the people of Chandrakala clan, which was the mark of the star tattooed on their body. On the other side Rudra called Arjun. "Hello Arjun...! Son, you have to come back. Our enemies are preparing to fight a war with us. We also have to be ready for the war. That's why you have to come and support us."
"But Papa, I am stuck here. I cannot leave Gargi like this." Arjun told his father. If he had left Gargi in this condition and gone to his family in Ital City, then who would have taken care of Gargi here? He could not even leave Gargi alone. Therefore, it was not possible for him to leave Gargi alone here. Rudra could also understand Arjun's situation, but looking at the circumstances, he felt it was right to call Arjun to his house. "Son, I can understand your situation. I am sending you a photo. The star mark in it is the identity of the people of our enemy Chandrakala clan. If you see a person with this mark around you, then you should be careful. And make sure that they do not know your identity, otherwise they can try to kill you. So take care of yourself. And if possible, try to come here as soon as possible." Arjun's father Rudra warned him. After listening to his father's entire talk, Arjun thought for a while and said- "Papa, I must have seen this mark somewhere! Oh yes, I remember. A similar mark is on my friend Vansh's neck too." Arjun said to his father. "This means that Vansh is from the Chandrakala clan! Papa, can you send me some more information about the people of this clan?" Arjun asked his father. "Okay, I will gather the information and send it to you. Yes, one more thing, be a little careful with the boy you told me about. Make sure that he doesn't find out anything about you." Arjun's father said while warning him. "Okay Papa, I will be careful, and I will try to come there as soon as possible." Arjun said to his father. "Okay son, you take care of yourself." Saying this, Rudra hung up the phone.
Shortly after talking to Arjun, Rudra received a call from someone. When Rudra looked at the phone, it was his father's call. Divyaroop was also the leader of the wolves. "Hello...! Yes father, as you said, I have talked to Arjun. He will come here soon." Rudra said to his father Divyaroop. "I have not called you for that. I wanted to ask you how far our preparations have reached?" "Papa, I have sent the news to all our people. Some people have already come here, and the rest will come here soon." Rudra said. "Okay, and what about zayn? Where is he?
Is he here?" Divyaroop asked. "Papa, he is in Uttarakhand right now. I have spoken to him. If possible, he will come with Arjun." Rudra said. "With Arjun!" "The father is of both the brothers, and you know how clever zayn is! He will convince Arjun by some means or the other." Rudra said. "Tell both of them that I want to meet them as soon as possible." Said Divyaroop. "Yes Papa... I will tell them." Rudra said. After this Divyaroop disconnected the call. After talking to his father, Rudra called zayn. "Hello zayn......! Where are you?" Rudra asked Jain. "Papa, I am here in Uttarakhand." Zayn said to his father. "Your grandfather has called both of you brothers. You both come here as soon as possible." Rudra said to zayn ."Papa, I will come but what about Arjun! Will he come with me?" Zayn asked. "I have spoken to Arjun. He will also come soon. But grandfather has called both of you together. Now you have to think how you will bring Arjun with you. Rudra said. Here Divyaroop was worried that if both the brothers live like this then they will never be able to live with each other.
"Papa, you know me. I will find a way to bring Arjun with me." Zayn assured his father. "Okay, whatever you have to do, do it quickly. Anyway, we don't have much time. War can break out anytime. Azazeel is still alive and you told me that he has the red diamond too." Rudra said to zayn and then disconnected the call. On the other hand, in the evening, Arjun is cooking food when suddenly there is a loud knock on the door. When he opens the door and looks, Zayn is standing in front of him. Arjun immediately catches hold of zayn 's neck as soon as he sees him. But zayn was stronger than Arjun, so he turned around and caught Arjun's neck. "Brother, you cannot defeat me. Anyway, I have not come here to fight. I have just come to tell you that grandfather has called both of us to meet together." Jain said to Arjun and let go of his neck. "I don't want to go anywhere with you." Arjun said angrily. "Brother, I can understand you being angry with me, but think with a cool mind, in a way I have made your work easier. Anyway, you cannot spend your whole life with a human. Now that she has also become a wolf, you both can always stay together." Zayn said with smiling. "I have not asked for your opinion. What you did was very wrong. I will never forgive you." Arjun said angrily. Arjun's anger was not subsiding. But Jain said something which calmed Arjun's anger. "Brother...! If you want, you can make her a human again." Zayn said pointing towards Gargi. "Can this really happen? Or is this some new trick of yours?" Arjun asked looking at Zayn with suspicious eyes.
"Brother, there is no trick of mine in this. Papa had told me once that this can happen. Grandfather knows the way." Zayn said explaining to Arjun. "If there is really such a way, then why did Papa not tell me? I was thinking that it is not possible to turn a werewolf into a human again!" Arjun said thinking deeply. Arjun and Zayn are talking when Gargi wakes up from sleep. "Arjun who is this?" Gargi asks Arjun looking at Zayn . "This is my brother Zayn ." Arjun said to Gargi. Gargi got angry on hearing this. You...? This has happened to me because of you. Make me a human again, otherwise I will not leave you." Gargi said angrily.
Seeing Gargi's anger, Arjun held her and asked her to calm down. "Gargi, calm down. My grandfather has a way to make you a human again. I will take you to him and everything will be fine." Arjun explained to Gargi. After this, Arjun pulled his brother Jain to a corner and asked- "Zayn , tell me the truth... is there really a way to cure Gargi! Or are you playing some other trick using grandfather's name?" Arjun was stunned to hear this. Zayn just grabbed Arjun by the throat. "How dare you say this! It is up to you whether you believe me or not. But remember one thing, I never lie in grandfather's name." Arjun understood from Zayn 's way of speaking that Zayn was speaking the truth. Okay... I accept your point. I am sure that you cannot lie in grandfather's name." Arjun said to Zayn .
