Ariana ke cryo-pod ke glass par mera haath rakha hua tha.
Uski palkein bilkul hile bina…
She looked so fragile.
Jaise ek lamha me tut jaayegi.
Adrian ki dark mist uske sar ke bilkul upar mandra rahi thi —
Ready to strike. To take her body…
"Stop. Please."
Ye lafz mere muh se dua ki tarah nikle.
Adrian — ya jo bhi yeh ab ban chuka tha —
Uski hansi me zehar tha.
"The mighty Seraph begs. How poetic."
Meri wings glitch flicker kar rahi theen —
white flame ke saath.
Awaaz phat rahi thi:
"Take me instead…"
Adrian ruk gaya.
Uski black eyes me curiosity chamki.
"You would surrender your divinity…
for love?"
Love.
Wo lafz jo dukh ban kar mere seene me ulajh gaya tha.
Mere hoth sookh gaye.
Main dheere se bola:
"I loved her before I knew power existed…"
Adrian dheere dheere mere paas aaya.
Uski presence ne hawa ko thanda kar diya.
"Then watch… what love costs."
🔥 Ariana Wakes
Suddenly —
Ariana ki aankhen blink.
Blue.
Fear se bharpur.
Uski saanse tez ho gayi.
"B… Blake…? What's happening?"
Mera dil toot gaya.
Usne mujhe pehle kabhi iss tarah nahi dekha tha —
na wings, na flames, na monster jaisa face.
Main jaldi se bola:
"It's okay — I'm here — I'll protect you—"
But mere words incomplete…
Kyuki Adrian her body ke bilkul close.
Ariana cheekhi —
pod ke alarms scream —
power surge —
CRACK!!!
Glass footpat jaise toot gaya.
Adrian ki parasite mist andar ghusne lagi.
Ariana ke haath phadphadaye —
uski body arc hone lagi voltage shock me —
"BLAKE HELP ME—!"
Main roar kiya:
"ARIAAANAAAAA!!!"
Aur poora room white explosion me dhak gaya.
⚡ Seraph Overdrive: Forbidden Ignition
Main ground par ghutno par tha.
White fire ne mere aas paas sigils burn kar diye.
System Warning
→ Host integrity collapsing
→ Wing core meltdown
→ Stop or face irreversible consequence
Main cheekha:
"I DON'T CARE!!!"
Aankhon se flame tears beh rahe the.
Har heartbeat me power crack…
Jaise body andar se phat rahi ho.
Adrian ki dark mist hawa me hilti:
"You would burn for one mortal girl?"
Main khada hua…
aghni wings full spread —
hall ke har circuit melt.
"I would burn the entire universe."
Aur main charge kiya.
💥 Last-second Shock
Jab main Ariana tak pohoncha —
Adrian ek shadow vortex ban gaya…
Wo seedha Ariana ke chest me crash hua.
Uski cheekh hawa me freeze ho gayi —
body collapse —
pulse drop.
Main usse pakad kar baitha.
"Ariana? Hey— look at me— Ariana—!"
Uski aankhen pitch black ho gayeen.
Pupils dissolve.
Zero emotion.
Adrian ki awaaz ab uske hont se:
"You made your choice."
Meri saanse ruk gayi.
Dil barbaad.
No…
No no no no NO.
She stands…
head tilted…
unnatural calm…
Ek twisted smile:
"Hello, darling."
😨 New Host: Adriana
Ariana ab nahi thi.
Jo mere saamne khari thi…
Adrian + Ariana = Adriana.
Perfect host.
Perfect nightmare.
Wo mere seedhe samne aakar —
meri cheek ko finger se trace karti.
"Your love made me unstoppable."
Phir usne meri chin packri —
aur whisper kiya:
"Now break."
Aur ek dark surge mere chest me blast.
Main pura chamber todte hue peeche ja gira.
Wings flicker —
vision blur —
heart rate crash.
Floor ke upar —
meri nazar dhundli hoti ja rahi thi.
Akhri cheez jo maine dekha:
Ariana ka chehra…
par smile Adrian ki.
Aur usne kaha:
"Next chapter… the world burns."
Everything turned black.
🔥 END OF CHAPTER 11
