"Why has this all been happening?"

I stared at her as I sat next to the opened window of my new club, warm breeze coming inside, she looked at me, her red scarf dancing with the breeze."Do you remember?"

I looked away as I couldn't figure out what she meant, Life was pretty hard for me since two years and now it seems to be fucked extravagantly."What should I remember?"

She smiled, for no reason at all, once again"Do you remember why you are here?"

I looked at her with blank eyes."He told me to come as I had joined so I came."

Her smile turned into a smirk as if I just made fun of myself ... and I didn't."But wasn't it all a dream?"

Her words somehow rung a drowsy bell in my ears, I had thought it all to be some nightmare, so why did I come...

"Have you ever heard of the power of the eyes?"

I had read a few articles of hoaxes with such names however they were hoaxes, right?"Maybe..."

She laughed."Never sure are you?"

I looked back at her with anger, her words unsettled me."Do I need to be?"

She sighed and pulled a chair from behind her."How will you survive like this?"

I stood up from the chair."Just get to the point."

She held her scarf's suspended ends and wrapped them around my neck like a lasso and pulled me closer towards her, I blushed as I was pretty close to her face, I remembered it all, her skin colour, her smile, her nose, her ey ... wait, her eyes were red with some shapes on them."See them?"

"Why are they red?"

"Power of the eyes."

She removed her scarf from my neck and so, I sat down."Do you have one?"

"Everyone here has one."

"Even me?"

She rested her face in her arms which were, in turn, rested on her lap."You just used it yesterday.

I looked at her in surprise."I was really dead."

"How could you not be?"

I freaked out, I'm dead?!"Am I dead now, where am I?"

She started laughing as if she could just die from it and not from jumping off a roof...

"Nah, you are alive, You revived yourself."

Harshit stepped forward and put his hands in his hands in his pockets."I have the eyes of Manipulation."

I looked at him with a scorn."What?"

He smirked and blinked ... His eyes also changed colours to red.

Jatin and the girl who stood behind Samanya, suddenly disappeared, his face started to tear away, revealing a mask behind, coloured black with three white stripes spanning across it.

I looked at Samanya with alarmed eyes."What is going on?"

She, however, wasn't in her chair...

Harshit placed his hand on his mask and took it off, revealing Samanya's face behind it, however, her eyes were not red this time.

"The Manipulating Eyes can deceive your senses anytime, anywhere and even manipulate you for some time."A voice came from behind me, I looked at my back and noticed Samanya falling from the window, with a suspicious smile on her face."

I covered my eyes from fear as my trauma started to strike me again."Stop this show of yours"

I felt a pat on my shoulder as I trembled."I guess we took it way too much far."

I looked up and noticed Samanya smiling at me."Sorry."

It had been two days since the last incident, however, I came to realise that Jatin and that girl never existed but rather figures created by Harshit to make sure the club could not get noticed for having too many members and that Samanya had hidden her identity since two years.

I was in class like always, the same boredom, the same idiots sitting around, the same discord created by the screeching of the chalk, pens and pencils, Mrs Rina was writing on the blackboard probably about the war of Iraq and America, but not like I have to care, I anyways don't have problems with my grades after all ... I'm the topper.

Mrs Rina turned around and threw her chalk on my head, and, I didn't know why?"Heer, don't be lost in your world all the time!"

She walked to me as I stood up, wondering what she wanted from me, and, why am I the sacrificial goat every time."Mam, I've written the answers in my copy already."

She looked at me with demanding eyes, I bent and took my politics copy out of my bag and showed it to her, I have a lot of time at home, and so I have all the time to do whatever I need to, to buy time for doing things I need to...

She read my copy and looked at me, her eyes were not normal, however, they were red, with some symbol on the iris."Pay attention to the class and don't act too smart."

She walked away and I sat on my desk, wondering about her eyes and what just happened.

I was walking to my clubroom, wishing to ask Samanya about Mrs Rina's eyes, I reached the door and opened it, noticing Samanya sitting inside, weaving a red coloured scarf."Hey, do you know Mrs Rina?"

She looked at me as if I was correct and I guess, according to the seven mysteries of our school, I was."Do you know her?"

"Yeah and guess what? She has those red eyes!"

She got up from her chair and looked at me with concern."Is she a new teacher?"

It was now my time to laugh at her."She has been teaching us for three years and even you have studied under her, your memory is the one weak!"

She walked to the cupboard of our clubroom and opened it, taking out a photograph and a cellphone,

She threw the photograph towards me which I caught and she threw the cellphone towards me ... which I missed."See the photograph."

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and noticed Harshit at my right" And please pick up the poor cell phone."

I gazed at the photograph, noticing a number of people as if they were walking on a street and spotted Mrs Rina's face on it."Why do you have her photograph?"

She looked at me with sorrow."I guess it is time to tell you but the government has prices on the heads of anyone who has the power of the Eyes."

I felt shocked, but, it was impossible that the government would want to do such a thing."Why would they do that?"

"To develop their own power, to become a major power or must I say ... To become the superpower in this world."

I guess I could understand that, which country wouldn't sacrifice a few to rule billions."So it's like killing agents of another country and steal their secrets, huh?"

She sat and laughed."Yeah, that's what happens."

"So what about Rina, how does she and the government connect?"

"She is here to kill us."

It's been a lot of time since I've been watching him, how he disguised himself in the crowd to hide his grief, how he smiles in front of her and deceives everyone around him, I don't get it, why was he the chosen one, how did two powers exist in one broken vessel, what are his desires and what does he fear?

But then again, he will never succeed like all those who activated it, after all, an eye is all it takes...

I saw him run to his house and how it caught fire, and it interests me to see these broken vessels suffer and die, after all, it's my job to make sure nothing interferes with my job, and so I continue to look from nowhere into everywhere.

And it might pain to see your parents executed right in front of you.
