Radhika's POV
I sat in the back seat of the open jeep, which ran on a high speed on the quite empty and smooth roads of the highway.
It was a pleasant weather, not too warm or cold..But just perfectly pleasent.
"Are you sure we are on the right way?" Varun asked me for the upteeth time.
"I don't know!" I also repeated the same answer.
Finally, maybe getting frustrated of my constantly same answers, he pushed the breaks and Jeep stopped with a jerk.
"What was that?" I shouted at him.
"You tell me what is it? From last 2 hours I driving this jeep on a plain road which is leading us to nowhere!" He replied angrily
"We are moving in the direction our sources told us Behrehempur is. I don't myself know where it is, I have never been there ofcourse." I replied angrily.

"You knew everything else about it...What people there are like..The situation of the place... Everything! Then why not the way to it?" He asked rather calmly this time.
Not wanting to fight with my bestie more, I just shrugged.
"Drive now!" I chipped at him after a few seconds. While in response he narrowed his eyes at me.
"Tu kya ghoor Raha usse, jaise Kha jayega. Now drive, or get off the seat. Me and Radhika can also drive." Smirked Mayra
"Mayra! I love u girl" I Squeeled giving her a hi-five. She always supported me against Varun, girl power you see!
"Argh! I hate u both" Varun Groaned and continued driving.

"And what if they do not like to welcome outsiders in their area? And tried to harm us? Like the way Radhika said they are quite dangerous and maybe capable of doing it anyway." Varun said.

We knew we were very much near to our Destination. Hardly 30mins more and we will be in Behrehempur. And by the time we got closer, it made me anxious. Well not only ne it made all of us feel the same.
"Come one dude! We r going there like tourists, people who want to just enjoy and roam around. No one just like that harms the people who came their for holidays or something. No one will know we r news reports and what our exact motive is. So chill" grinned Mayra.
While I simply nodded showing that I agreed, while actually I was lost in my own thoughts.
We knew we are taking risk, but life is all about taking risks and bearing its outcome...Isn't it?
What they never knew this risk can change their lives completely or can even take away their lives. For the risk they took is the risk of messing with people of Behrehempur and it's outcome is not gonna be anything good!

Author's Pov
"Ji Malik! Ho jayega"
Veer sat on his huge royal-kind chair in his room, while his slaves were busy messaging his legs which he thoroughly enjoyed. On his left stood Rangeela, his hands resting on his front and his head bowed down with respect as usual as he took his Malik's orders.
"Aur Rangeele..." Veer continued, but was interrupted by the knock on the already opened door.
A man or say another of his slaves walked in, his head also bowed down.
He touched veer's feet then stood up again on his place.
"Malik is zaroori khabar se!" The slave said in a low voice
"Bol!" Roared Veer.
"Malik! Khabar se ki dilli (Delhi) sheher se kuch TV ki khabar wale yaha as rahe! Sunna hai voh  yaha ke halath ke baare mai jaanch karenge...Phir usse TV per dikhadenge." Shuddere the slave.
"Kyaa!?" Veer shouted and stood up, burning with anger. In sheher wali ki itni aukat? Humare ilake mai aake humare hi khilaf sazish?" He groaned.
"Ane do in sheheriyon ko. Aa toh jayenge per jaayenge nahi." He shouted angrily.
"Kabh aa Rahe Hain?" He yelled again at his slave.
"Aaj hi Malik." He shuddered yet again.
"Theek se! Tum log Jao aur inn sheheriyon ko pakad ke laye. Zinda lao jee kare toh Mardo. Bas lao." He ordered while the slave nodded.
"Malik? Manhe bhi Jana hai?" Asked Rangeela
"Aree na Rangeele! Un sheheriyon se baki nipat lenge...Tu bade kaam ker se!" He patted Rangeela's head.
"Abh mahra muh kya taak Rahe ho? Nikklo!" Veer shouted at others who ran away to full fill his orders.

Radhika's POV
Finally! Finally! Finally!!!
We are here atlast, in Behrehempur..The village of terror and mercyless-ness as they say. But to me everything seemed normal. Like everything was usual, nothing which said of terror or anything.
Getting off our jeep, the three of us decided to walk around.
We took a small stroll around and everything looked normal... Except one. There were enough people on the roads and ways... Walking here and there that is usually but the strange thing was every human being I saw in last 15mins here was a male. Long story short I did not see a single women yet. Not possible that there were no women here, but where are all? Not even a single one. Not even kids were here only men. Strange!
"It's such a normal place! U said is called the no mercy land, but it's nothing special here?" Varun asked.
"I don't know!" I shrugged
We walked a little more a d reached somewhere which looked like the ma like the main market or something.
We stood there for a minute or 2 when we noticed a jeep coming in our direction. Ignoring it we continued our conversation. But stopped when we noticed the Jeep stopping just Infront of us.
What now?
3 tall broad men got off the Jeep. They looked anything but decent or safe. Shit! Are we in danger?
"Kya ker rahe se ho yaha?" One of them asked
"Ghoomne aye the." Varun took charge of talking with them.
"Yaha?" He glared us. Scared Mayra held my hand and tried to hide behind me. While Varun stood infront of us to kind of sheild us.
"Kyun yaha nahi ghoom sakte?" He replied with anger
"Nahi!" Shouted the man.
"Hum jaante hain yaha kyun aye ho hum log...Sheher se."
"K..Kya pata hai?" I came forward and asked
"Aee chhori! Peeche reh" the man shouted and I felt anger bubbling inside me.
"Radhika, Mayra...Chalo yaha se!"
Varun said and we turned to walk away.
"Chhore! Aye tum log apni marzi se ho..Per jaoge nahi."
"Hum Jaa Rahe hain." He stated and we turned to leave.
The suddenly there was a loud sound as as firing.
And then then the last thing I remembered was Mayra's frightened yell
"Vaaruuunnn!!!!"
