The woman used a purple strong flame and threw it on Sameer, wrapping his neck with it and suffocating him. He was held high up in the air just like Naina and was struggling to breathe when the woman took out a knife out of the blue for him, she was just about to stab and kill him but suddenly the knife was stopped, the woman tried her best to push it forward and stab him but it didn't move even an inch, instantly the woman somersaulted and fell down directly hitting the hard floor. She angrily whipped her head towards Naina who was standing in the corner glaring at her, she was looking a bit pale but surprisingly looked way better than how she looked a few moments ago.

Woman - I see none of you want to survive because you had the chance to run away and save your lives but no you chose to stay here and help each other then don't worry I'll make sure to place all of your coffins near each other so that you can help each other even after your death because none of you is going back home alive today. NONE! Got it you little munchkins?

Naina - Kaun yaha se zinda jayega aur kaun nahi wo toh waqt hi bataega. Aap badi hai toh bolna toh nahi chahiye par fir bhi bol hi deti hu jis  tarah aap abhi giri na lagta hai umar hogayi hai apki toh yeh marne n all ki baate aap chhodd hi dijiye abhi aur hume chup chap wo diamond le jane dijiye yaha se.

Woman - (Smirked) In your dreams.

Saying this she ran towards Naina and was about to grab her neck when Naina instantly lifted herself high up in the air causing the woman to collide with the wall.

Naina - (Smirking) Aree aunty dheere aur maine toh pehle hi kaha tha budhapa chadhne laga h apko par apko toh fir bhi fight karni hai.

These conversations between the woman and Naina was being watched by the silent spectators present in the cave who were hell confused and scared since Naina was arguing with someone who was probably way more powerful than they had expected.

Pandit - ( whispering ) Yaar yeh Naina devi hume marwane pe kyu tuli hai? Cut marke nikalte hain na yaha se dekh nahi rahi kitni powerful hai yeh.

Munna - Chup kar ponga dekh na raha maahol garam hai bada aur upar se Naina bhi use dhool chata rahi hai. Abhi maza ayega na.

Sameer - Chup karo tum dono nahi toh us aurat ka toh pata nahi par main zaroor tum dono ko dhool chata dunga. ( Glaring at both of them )

Preeti - Yaar kitna bolte ho tum log aur mujhe bhi Pandit ki baate sahi lag rahi hai lagta nahi hai Naina ladh payegi unse.

All of them then diverted their gaze towards Swati who had not uttered even a word during their whole conversation.

Swati - Mujhe sab aise kyu dekh rahe ho?

Sameer - Nahi hume laga matlab sab kuch na kuch bol rahe hain tab se toh shayad tumhe bhi bolna ho toh....

Preeti - Ek minute tu kuch toh soch rahi hai. Chal bata ab jaldi (raising her eyebrow towards Swati.)

Swati - Umm...time kya hua hai?

Sameer - Time? (whispering so that only Munna can hear him) daura padta hai kya beech beech mein teri wali ko? Yeh achanak se time kyu puch rahi hai.

Munna - (To Sameer) Chup! Mujhe kya pata kyu puch rahi hai bolde na kya farq padta hai.

Swati - Yeh yeh kya khusurfusur chal rahi hai tum logo ke beech? Batao time kya hua hai?
                               
Sameer - 12:10 am kyu?

Swati - Kya! 12 baj bhi gaye?

Preeti - Aur nahi toh kya par isme itna shock hone wali kya baat hai?

Swati - Aree 12 baj gaye! Aaj Naina ka birthday hai! Naina 18 ki ho gayi.

Sameer - Haa Swati pata hai par abhi celebrate toh kar nahi sakte kyunki is aurat ko dekh ke lagta nahi ki woh abhi hamare saath 'happy birthday' song gaane mein interested hai.

Swati - Aree main song ki baat nahi kar rahi hu aaj Naina ka birthday hai matlab Khaza ki powers....

Just then a voice interrupted their conversation

Voice - Excuse me!

They all snapped their heads towards the voice only to find Naina and the lady holding swords and staring at them.

Naina - Hello guys! Hum shayad abhi fight kar rahe the? Toh kya tum log apni yeh really important conversation band kar sakte ho thodi der ke liye? Note the sarcasm.

Woman - Seems like your little friends aren't bothered about whether you live or you die.

Swati - Oh hello miss! We all are bothered, not for Naina but for you because now the fight is going to get more interesting and I would personally like to recommend you to surrender otherwise who knows what will happen.
Chalke toh yaha apne pairo se ayi hogi par jaogi wapas kandho pe.

Woman - Over-confidence I see.
( Smirking )

Sameer - Over-confidence nahi Naina pe trust we all have that and that's why we know that Naina will win for sure.

Woman - Oh really? Then let's see.

The fight resumed and both of them took their positions, ready to attack each other.

Both of them ran towards each other in full speed and their swords clashed.  They tried to push their swords forward and attack but none of the swords moved finally pushing each other a bit they reverted back.
The woman charged Naina but instead of defending herself or defeating her, she jumped, ran upwards and jumped down landing straight on the woman's shoulder causing her to loose balance. She fell down on her knees while Naina jumped and got back to the place where she standing.

Woman - ( to herself ) Why am I getting weaker and weaker with each passing moment? Yeh kisi normal human ya, vampire se fight krne se toh kabhi mumkin nahi ho sakta does that mean she is......?

The woman got up and looked straight into Naina's eyes as if trying to read anything, instantly she ran towards her to attack but since Naina was already prepared for it so instead of acting dumb and standing at the same place as shown in films, she also ran with full speed towards her and their swords clashed AGAIN but this time Naina seemed stronger, thus overpowered the woman causing her to hit the ground hard. She whipped her head towards Naina in such a speed that she could have got whiplashed quite easily but luckily she didn't get ha! Vampire powers you know. She looked in disbelief at her probably still trying to digest the fact that she got DEFEATED 'well almost defeated ' by someone. It was not long before her trance got broken by Sameer.

Sameer - We told you earlier don't mess with her. But nahi logo ko hamari sun ni hi kaha hoti hai. ( narrowing his eyes ).

The woman got up from the ground and picked up her sword. She was looking calm but 'dangerously calm' she glanced at Naina for one last time and then jumped high up in the air, ran from one corner of the cave to the other and taking the support of the wall jumped back at Naina with the sword pointing towards her horizontally as if waiting to pierce directly into her her throat the very next moment, everybody including Naina got a little bit scared but she still trying to win, lifted her sword and was ready to attack and kill the shit out of the woman, the scene was looking like a 'do or die' one and everybody had clenched their hearts silently praying for Naina but the next thing the woman did left everyone completely shocked, everyone was shocked till the core and no single soul knew how to react at this.

What do you think the woman did?

Instead of attacking Naina, the woman knelt right infront of her thrusting her sword into the ground and bowing her head down in a way of showing respect.

Everyone especially Naina was hell confused by this gesture since few seconds ago they had almost killed each other well atleast Naina had almost killed her to be true.

Naina - Aap yeh kya kar rahi hain? Matlab I thought aap mujhe marna chahti hai ( confused ).

Woman - Haa marna chahti toh thi par ab nahi since I don't wanna commit a sin, atleast not at this age.
Well, I am really sorry mujhe pehle pata hota ki aap hi Khaza hain toh main kabhi bhi aap par attack nahi karti. I am glad you are finally here, you don't have any idea from how much time we've been waiting for you.

Naina - Par apko kaise pata chala ki main hi Khaza hu?

Woman - ( Smiling gently ) Coz no one else can stand me for so much time and also Khaza ke alawa mujhe aur koi bhi weak nahi kar sakta par tumne kiya jiska bas ek hi matlab hai that you are 'The Khaza'.

Their little conversation was instantly interrupted by an overexcited Swati.

Swati - Humne toh pehle hi kaha meri behen hai hi special ( raising her imaginary collars).

( Her childish behaviour made everyone chuckle and the woman's eyes softened seeing the kids for some unknown reason ).

Preeti - So ladies and gentleman the winner of this fight is none other than 'Miss Naina Darce' ( giggling and clapping).

Everyone clapped except the woman her face went pale all of a sudden and her eyes got teary. She suddenly held Naina's face with both of her palms and caressing her cheek gently with her thumb asked...

Woman - Please jhoot mat bolna I beg you kya yeh sach bol rahi hai? Kya sach mein tumhara naam Naina DARCE hai?

Naina - Haa par isme jhoot bolne wali kya baat hai? Main hi hu Naina Darce.

Woman - Hope you are not joking means you are from 'THE ROYAL FAMILY' for real? ( with an open mouth)

Naina - Haa par isme itna shocked hone wali kya baat hai? Aur apko kaise pata that the Royal family's title is Darce? Mujhe laga aap yahi ki hain naki hamare planet ki .

But instead of answering her question the woman hugged her tightly and the tears she was holding back finally flowed out. She finally broke down in Naina's embrace.

Naina - Shh! Shh! Roiye mat please bataiye toh hua kya hai. Aap ro kyu rahi hai? ( tightening the hug )

The woman left Naina and pecking her forehead finally spoke.

Woman - I AM YOUR GRANDMOTHER.

Everybody looked at her in complete shock and disbelief and if she was saying the truth then surely a lot of questions were coming her way. Indeed the day was full of surprises staring from Samaina's unexpected meet to the unexpected arrival of a person in their lives and who knows how many more surprises were waiting for them to cross their paths?

This much for today.

How do you think will Naina's grandmother impact their lives?

Will she be their saviour or a troublemaker?

Well, stay tuned to know what happens next.
