The Devil's Claw Don't Let me Down
"Sir... Don't you think that we should've asked him why and how he did it... instead of questions you were asking..." asked Rim, frowning. Keith laughed, his face red because of stains of blood, "I didn't ask him questions, I just gave him the most appropriate answers he deserved... " said he, grinning, his whole body was shaking along with laughing hardly... Rim felt like he wasn't normal at that time... though he wasn't drunk... What had happened to him... He was no longer the calm and cool person with genius mind, who would order around... He seemed like he himself needed shelter... Emotional shelter... He was internally broken... Probably because of his everlasting loneliness.. Maybe.. He felt that he would never be loved or accepted... Whatever was the reason.. He wasn't normal... Rim placed his hand on Keith's shoulder... "Sir, you're our leader.. Please get hold of yourself" said he, in sadly low tone, as he noticed that Keith's body was trembling.. along with drops falling on
The Devil's Claw Disturbance Inside
[Mature content warning]It was 2AM of the night, but Halaya still couldn't sleep... She couldn't get her mind out of thinking about Keith's betrayal to her... Why was he doing that, despite knowing the fact that her life was already worst... Why was he still playing with her feelings when he knew how terrible life she had been living... Halaya sat up, tied up her hair, stood up and started walking towards the door of her room.. She thought that she should talk about it to Keith.. She should've asked him why he was doing this before assuming anything else of her own. Maybe, his life was just different.. he didn't feel anything wrong in spending time with other girls while proposing another girl.. But Halaya knew that even it was, then certainly, she couldn't tolerate it, but before she should start getting distant from him emotionally, she should've talked about it to Keith... Maybe, he just doesn't know her concern, and after knowing it, he would never do it again. So at the midnight
The Devil's Claw Keith's Proposal
Halaya decided at that moment, to never take any money from Keith, for any of her needs. She decided to do job and earn her own money and to pay for her own expenses.. There was a long gap of silence. "Don't make that face now... I didn't ask you to pay me back by doing any such thing.. I just said that I could've done that if I wanted to.." said Keith, trying to cool down the intense situation that had been created. Halaya didn't say a word.. She didn't want to talk to him anymore... "We are going to some amusement park today.. Just as we decided before going to hotel" said Keith, again trying to provoke her to speak. But she still didn't say a word. "You'll feel good there, it has been a lot of days since you've been at home, it'll have refreshing effect on your mind" said Keith, smilingly. But Halaya's face and eyes were rigidly stiff, and she kept quiet after everything Keith kept on saying at that time. Keith had realized that whatever he said was not appropriate... He actually d
The Devil's Claw Loss of Streamlined Flow
Halaya looked at the large sharp knife Keith was holding at that time...but she somehow knew that he wouldn't hurt her through it.. he never did such things... she knew he was just trying to scare her so that she would just surrender now... "Which type of court is that? And how's that marriage would be acceptable in the register of law, if that's going to happen without girl's agreement?" asked Halaya, in angrily torn tone. She was offended not only because she thought she had realized the real reason of Keith's Proposal for marriage, but also his forcing her to get married... It was the real presentation of how he was such aggressively impulsive personality, who would go to such extents just to make someone he loves surrender to his selfish desires. Halaya although had started loving him a little, because of which she said yes to his surprised marriage proposal, but sooner she realized that he wasn't a man suitable to live a comfortable life with, because whatever had happened to him
The Devil's Claw Dealing with Turbulence
"Don't you think that would really be a problem for us?" asked Karin, in a concerning tone. "Do you really think that I have only one way of getting money? Like seriously?" asked Keith in return, sarcastically smiling. "Then what will we do now? How can you rob banks without hacking the cameras?" asked Karin, in upsetting tone. "Don't worry... there are still so many other ways for that... I will just have to pay some extra attention to get money than I was giving to it before.." said Keith, finally in a calmly serious tone. "Can you manage that along with your avenging tasks?" asked Karin in smoothly caring tone. "Yeah.. I guess" said Keith in a softly calm tone. He himself had realized that this was really a problem now.. but for reason unknown, he pretended to Karin like there was no problem for him. Perhaps, he did it so that Karin wouldn't be worried. His money which he was used to get by robbing banks was the only source of money, being used for all their expenses. Keith had re
The Devil's Claw Under the Same Roof
Days passed by.. Keith turned 25 and Halaya 19 years old.. Karin was now 30 plus.. Halaya's friendship with Wiga and Parker grew stronger with time passed.. Though Keith had no problem with her friendship with Wiga, but thinking about Parker was always a kind of test of his patience for him. Parker had now started giving her a pick and drop, which was mustering anger and envy inside Keith for such a long time now.. But as Keith wanted to depress his feelings of love for Halaya, knowing that she wouldn't never love him back.. He better stayed quiet about her matters anymore.. In the midnight, when Halaya was in a kitchen, boiling milk, Keith came there.. "Do you know how to make a coffee?" asked Keith, as it was now winters. "Yeah I do.. Why?" asked Halaya, in a calm tone. "Make coffee for me" said Keith, in a soft tone. "Sorry.. I've to sleep.. Get up early tomorrow" said she in a little rude tone as she turned back to leave. "Why do you always talk rudely to me? You don't talk like th
The Devil's Claw A chance to finally Explode
Mature Content Warning] That afternoon, when Karin returned home, she found that Keith wasn't home, while Halaya was in her room. She knocked at Halaya's door, "Yes come in" said Halaya in a normal tone. As Karin entered, she saw how Halaya was writing something on paper while she had prepared some notes previously.. "What are you writing?" asked Karin, in a casually calm tone. "I'm preparing a script of drama my students will be playing on the stage, on upcoming Talent show.. Would you like to read it?" asked Halaya, in spirit fully high tone. "Wow.. that great.. But I find reading kind of boring.." said Karin as she turned around the papers. "That's okay.. So where were you the whole night?" asked Halaya, in casually normal tone. "With my friends.." said Karin, in a energetically low tone. "Why are you looking a little down today?" asked Halaya, as she looked at her. "Really? Well.. I am actually a little worried.." said Karin, as she sat on the bed there. "Why? What happened?" aske
The Devil's Claw Lovely Moments

Her eyes becoming tearful again.. She didn't want to marry him because she had no feelings for him.. Days passed by.. Keith avoided any eye contact with her.. She also kept on leaving the room where Keith would come.. Her life was becoming dull and boring.. She had nothing to do the whole day.. Now she knew even Keith wouldn't let her do job... So one day, as she was cooking something in the kitchen, Karin came there, "Wow! You've started cooking! that's great activity" said Karin, in excitedly happy tone. "Yeah..." said Halaya, in a energetically low tone. "Why don't you agree to marry Keith, by the way?" asked Karin, in a audibly low tone. "I don't like him.. I don't like his murdering people like their lives mean nothing.. I don't like his imposing things on me.. I don't like how he's so boldly exposed to women a

Magical Uncertainties
First, Raymond's death was something of a incomprehensible mystery, as he was wearing a bullet proof suit similar to Keith's to protect him from being shot to death. Secondly, this hardened material that protected Keith and Karin was never seen before. What was it.. Why did it protect them... Keith felt like Halaya was somewhere around, looking at him and it was some sort of her magical power's interference. But no, she couldn't be seen around. "What's this?!" asked Karin in shockingly worried tone as she found themselves surrounded by some green crystal like hardened material making a circle all around them. Seeing this green crystal making a sheild around them to protect them, Arthur ordered everyone around to retreat. In no time, all helicopters circling above their heads went back to Mansion from where they came. Keith felt like Arthur knew something about it, and he wanted to hide it from the world, so he retreated in such a hurry. But what had broken Keith's existence into piece

Losing Another Friend
Keith's double roles, both as an Elite performing brutal rituals on the public, as well as Avenger working against Elites, killing them in the same way as they had killed some low class victim, was now confusing all Elite families. Micheal Janes was being questioned repeatedly on the media about what was the matter with his son. Despite Micheal's repeated scolding to Keith about his avenging, he stayed stubborn. Before Micheal would say anything as an answer to all those raising questions on media, Keith himself held a press conference to explain his current situation to public. Wearing a robotic dress all over his body which he had made all by himself most presumably, to avoid getting shot, because now he knew his life was in danger, "Dear world...

Stubborness
The next morning, there was a knock at Keith's room on early morning. "Yes.." mumbled Keith in a sleepy tone, as he was still sleeping. Rim entered the room... "Sir.. What have you become?" asked he, in a sadly rough tone, as he shook Keith's shoulder to make him awake properly. Keith looked at Rim, now with widely opened eyes.. Tears filled into his eyes.. sat up hardly, rubbed his eyes.. "Why are you here... Rim?" asked Keith in a firmly sad tone, avoiding looking at Rim's face. "Sir.. You're not this.. Wake up and show the truth to the world.." cried out Rim, now bursting out of emotions. "Rim.. Who will believe in me now?" asked Keith in a helplessly sad tone, while moving his head sideways. "Everyone will do.. Just don't give up.. Just don't stop avenging!" screamed Rim, his voice shaken and broken as tears were flowing through his eyes. Keith looked at him.. He felt good that Rim still believed in him after every worst thing that had happened... "Rim.. You're a good friend" said

Curtains fell, one after another!
As Halaya woke up, she saw some black fatty nurse of about 35 plus years, putting some medicines on the tray. "Where's Carver?!" asked Halaya, in loudly worried tone, as she hardly managed to sat up, with her back rested on the back of Hospital bed. "Don't panic! he's alright.. You rather need to be worried about yourself Miss" said that nurse, in a slightly rough tone. "What do you mean? What happened to me?" asked Halaya, in confused tone, as she tried to remember what exactly happened. "You got fainted! Don't you remember?" asked that nurse, in rude tone. "Yeah I remember.. I hadn't eaten anything since I came here.. So I got fainted.." said Halaya, as she turned her face aside. "Wow! Great! You do finally remember everything now! then how don't you remember something more? You're pregnant Miss!" said that nurse, in a taunting tone, while moving her big hands around in a bluntly angry manner. "What?! No! Not now!" said Halaya as she helplessly faced palm. "Yeah!

Unwilling Settlement
[Caution : Violence]In the midnight, as Halaya came to see Carver lying on the hospital bed, his hand dripped, and his forehead having placed sponge to reduce his fever, she patted his head, kissed his side of forehead.. She knew that she was the only one for Carver and that he had no one else.. Though Arthur was his father, but after Najers found out that Carver had no special powers transferred to him from his mother, his behavior had changed towards him. Carver was then treated mainly as a trash, the child born for no reason at all. Though Arthur was used to physically abuse Halaya, but it wasn't the case with Carver. To him, Arthur never ever slapped or did any type of physical abuse, but mental abuse was common. Carver was mostly told that he was born just as a result of experiment, and that he wasn't loved at all. He was also told that his mother left him because she didn't love him enough. However, despite such continuous brainwashing, Carver never really hated his mother, inst

Separation
Next morning, during the breakfast, while all the Janes were sitting in the main family hall, along with watching news, in which it was being shown how Machia family and Najer family had combined their forces against Janes family. "The plot played by Janes is extremely selfish. We also had access over Halaya, but we kept her as everyone's property" said the Thrish Najer, the owner of Najer family. "Keith is a Janes' masterpiece. Though he has gained access over Halaya, through his useful mental tactics, but he is neither the husband of her, nor the guardian of her. She either belongs to us or the Najers" said King Yumas Machia during his speech. "Keith was himself always a super power, having Halaya by his side, is something that has now made him invincible. If all the major Elite families wouldn't still combine their forces against him, we can never overcome him" said Dashi Rogera, the owner of Rogera family, one of the major Elite families. Thus, all the minor families that once app

Husband vs Henatal Holder
That night, at about 2AM, Halaya got a call from the same unsaved number she got a call before. She knew it was Arthur.. He was trying to contact her again for some reason.. She knew that it was emotionally overburdened for her to talk to him.. But maybe he had to talk about Carver.. Why would he need to talk about him.. She kept on thinking.. Questioning and then answering to her own assumptions.. There was a knocking at her door.. Was it Arthur.. She immediately sat up in extreme fear.. Knocking got harder.. She shakingly asked, "Who?" in loud tone. "Open the door, Halaya" said Keith, in gently calm tone. She felt a relief.. It was Keith after all.. As she opened the door, Keith was standing there, with holding a knife in his hand.. "You.. at this time" said Halaya, in firmly serious tone.. There was a gap of silence.. Keith entered the room and locked the door.. "I need your fresh blood" said he, as he showed her that knife. "Why's that?" asked she, in curiously firm tone. "Because

Unsettled things
[Mature Content Warning]On next morning, when all of Janes were having breakfast, sitting on the table in Main Family Hall, watching news along with eating, there was a knocking at the door. "Yes?" said Micheal in slightly loud tone. "Sir, there are some low class people gathered outside our main gate.. They said they want to meet Prince Keith.." said a worker, who then left from there after Jason gestured him to leave. Keith stood up, "Let me see" said he, as he left from there. After Keith reached there, people started clapping and hooting like they had seen some famous celebrity standing in front of them, "Keith! Our hero!" they repeatedly raised slogans to make him feel motivated. "Who are you people?" asked Keith, as he felt like he had never seen those faces before. One of them came forth, "Keith, we want you to resume avenging.. Look, we've proofs of brutality done by Elites to our relatives" said he, as he opened his mobile screen.

Naked Reality
"Keith! You've done great job!" said his Dad in a loud tone, as he was brought there by Raymond in a Helicopter, which then landed there. Herlin and Rebecca ran towards Keith and hugged him tightly, "Keith rocks!" said they repeatedly, in cheerful tone. "Brother Keith, you've proved it that it is now Janes' reign!" said Safrali, in excitedly happy tone. Rasmali happily nodded. Jason punched Keith's back, "I can't believe that you stole those books all of your own!" said he, in gladly smiling tone. After the Halaya had used her powers, she fell unconscious, as before. Her body temperature was high, like she was having a fever. She was taken to the hospital, antipyretics were given to her to bring down her temperature.

She was someone's else wife.. It was hurting him deeply in a way that he felt like it
