Sorry for the long delay- I actually read the first 4 chaps of TV preview and I love it so far. I'm not going to add any spoilers cause I'm keeping this original- I do not own the tigers series!

Chapter 4

Kishan woke up in an uncomfortable position on the damp stone Floor. The air was humid, almost difficult to breath in. Sweat built in his hair, and caused it to look drenched. He realized that someone had removed his shirt and chained his hands and feet to the floor. He pulled the ground to break the chain free but it was useless. The area was dark, except for the moonlight shining through the gated window of what appeared to be a dungeon.

A loud moan echoed across the room and his vision cleared long enough to reveal it was Ren. He appeared to be alright, but in a similar situation as himself, chained yo the ground.

" Ren? Are you hurt?" Kishan asked, moving in a kneeling position.

" I'm alright, but i can not shift into my tiger form. There is a spell that prevents us. Where is Kelsey?" he replied, moving to a more comfortable position on the floor

The sudden reminder hit both of them like an arrow to the heart. Kelsey was in the hands of the one man that wanted her dead, and his long lost love, Yesubai, was alive and working for her father.

" I don't know, Ren. We were surrounded, and Kelsey was taken. Lokesh isn't working alone... She's alive Ren."

It was quiet for a moment, and then He nodded. " I know. I'm sorry." in all honesty, he felt sorry for his brother. After the years of being cursed, he knew Kishans heart belonged with her through life and death, and life again.

" Kishan, no matter what they do or what they say... Know that we are still family, I love you brother." Ren explained.

Kishan grew fearful. Ren has already been through torture just weeks ago. It was a speech of farewell, feeling Ren may not live through a second round of torture.

" and I love you too brother."

An echoed clap came from the front of the room where a door remained open. There, Lokesh stood in a black dress shirt with white suspenders. He looked fresh and well kept. Yesubai stood beside him in a black tank and red pants.

His smile lurked in evil and he progressed into the room.

" and the brothers forgive each other. it only took several hundred years but it has finally happened." Lokesh walked over to Kishan and took a seat across from him.

" Kishan, my boy. We meet again."

" For the last time I hope?

He laughed and shook his head. " oh no. I need to keep you strong. We still have a curse to lift. See, I can't kill you and trust me, I really want to. We will need the remaining gifts, and only Yesubai can do that."

"where is Kelsey?" he whispered, in a dangerous warning.

Lokesh began to scratch his chin, and got up to kneel next to him.

" all in good time will be revealed. Just sit tight."

He walked over to the other chained prince who appeared to be just as furious as Kishan. He bent over to Ren and gripped his hair to meet the princes gaze.

" Welcome back, Dhiren. I have the perfect torture plan for you, and believe me... This time it just might kill you." he warned, but Ren wasn't going to take his threat. Without warning, he spat on Lokeshs face.

Lokesh let go of Ren and wiped his face. He showed no sign of anger, not even the smile on his face could lessen. He nodded over to one of his guards.

Both princes were curious to what would walk through that door. It sounded like a struggle, then a shriek echoed the halls, and finally the door revealed a frightened Kelsey.

The two struggles against their chains, shouting her name in hope that she would struggle against the guard holding her, but she wasn't strong enough.

The guard holding Kelsey walked her over to Lokesh. He chained one arm and both feet to the wall and the other was left free. The cut on her neck was already scabbed over and she appeared to be fine. Lokesh offered her his hand, but she tried her best to get as far from him as she could.

" ssshhh, it's alright, my dear. Do not be frightened." he said, very calm and soothing.

" Please, let them go." she asked, in a sincere voice.

" my dear, do you care about them more then your own life?" he asked, taking a strand of her hair away from her face.

Kelsey looked at both Kishan and Ren, both looked weak but worried. She looked at Ren who shook his head at her, hoping she would say no.

She nodded as a tear fell from her eyes. " Yes" she whispered.

" don't do this Kelsey!" Kishan shouted, but was hushed by a guard as he punched his stomach.

" please, don't hurt them! I'll do whatever you want but please let them go." she cried.

Lokesh grabbed a small vile which contained a thick neon green liquid.

" you drink this, and I'll give Ren his memories back. All the ones that contained you." he offered.

" Kelsey, don't drink it! I'm not worth this. Think of how I neglected you!" Ren shouted next and was given the same treatment as his brother moments before.

" yes, think of how he's treated you. Don't you want your Ren back? The one who loves you unconditionally?" he teased.

" what will it do to me?" she asked.

Lokesh shook his head. " you find out yourself, all I will say is it won't kill you."

She looked at her princes and thought of many ways to help them escape. There was only one way to save them an she wasn't going down without a fight.

She reached for the vile and grasped his hand, sending an electric shock through his body. Several guards tried to pull away but they were caught in the electric current that killed all but Lokesh. A noise of a shotgun went off and a small dart with the neon green liquid injected in her arm. Suddenly the electric current dimmed down and she released Lokesh.

Kishan looked to see who fired the dart and saw Yesubai in the shadows. Their eyes both linked together and the fire he felt for her engulfed him again. Her eyes appeared to be full of sorrow, the same as when he was captured. Did she still love him?

Kelsey tried several more attempts to shoot electric from her arm, but the only spark she could make was static electricity. The green liquid was a dormant for her powers.

" I tried to reason with you, little girl. Now you suffer the consequences." he warned her and pulled out a long skinny dagger.

Ren felt the tug on his heart again. His heart was telling him to break free and save Kelsey. He never felt this way, not even for Yesubai. He struggled and tugged on the chains, hoping there was a weak link to break him free.

Yesubai walked over to her father and Kelsey. He handed her a similar vile with white liquid in it. He whispered in her ear and she moved quickly to Ren.

One of the guards came around and grasped his head.

" open his mouth." she ordered him.

The guard grasped his jaw to open it, but Ren fought him. The guard pinched his nose and Ren gasped for air and Yesubai forced the liquid down his throat.

The guard let him go, and suddenly Ren was gripping his head in pain.

" Ren!" Kelsey cried and watched the prince scream in pain.

Then it stopped and he collapsed to the floor, breathing heavy.

Kelsey could feel her heart become whole again. The way only her Ren made her feel. Their connection was back and she knew his memories returned.

" No! Please let it not be true." he cried as flashbacks engulfed his head. The memories of what filled in, the things he said, the things he did, the things that happened. He looked up at his surroundings and found the one person he hurt the most.

" Kelsey?" he cried, watching his love chained and in the hands of Lokesh.

" Ren? I'm sorry. I tried..." she explained to him.

One guard came behind Kelsey and gripped her free wrist. " No! Let go of me!" she yelled.

Yesubai walked back to her father and offered him her hand. He took it and pulled her close and kissed her forehead.

" ready daughter?"

" ready father."

He took the blade and sliced the palm of her hand. He grabbed Kelseys hand, and did the same. He bonded the girls bleeding hands together and began chanting. Over and over again he repeated the words. The henna drawing on Kelseys arn glowed bright and dissolved under her skin, making a steady stream off her arm and through to Yesubai. The henna glowed on Yesubais arm and then died down.

Yesubai raised her hand and out came a lightning bolt. " well done daughter."Lokesh cheered.

Kelsey's feet curled under her and she collapsed, feeling weak and empty. Everything she went through before this moment was stolen from her, and she cried softly.

Lokesh pulled her head my her hair to show Ren the pain she underwent.

" look at her now, fair prince. She is nothing but a mere girl who can be broken."

Lokesh smiled and without warning speared the dagger into Kelseys shoulder Clean through.

The scream didn't pass her lips, just a strong cry and heavy breathing. The pain was nothing she hasn't felt before, but still very painful.

" No! Kelsey!" Ren screamed, watching the girl in pain was his biggest fear. He struggled in his chain again with no change.

" This is your torture, Prince Dhiren. I get the satisfaction of torturing her and you get to watch her suffer."

The guards unchained Kishan and dragged him.

" No! Let her go! I will go with Yesubai and retrieve the gifts, but let Kelsey go. She is innocent."

Lokesh smiled and nodded.

" exactly. She is bait. You retrieve my gifts and i let the girl go free, don't retrieve my gifts and I will kill her. " he then pulled the dagger out of her body swiftly and that made her cry harder. The pain of the blade going in was nothing compared to pulling it out.

" Let me speak to her, and I will agree not to struggle."

Lokesh watched the Prince, and knew he wouldn't do anything stupid.

" granted, but if you even think about trying to escape, I'll make sure the dagger goes through her heart." he warned and nodded to the guards to let him go and walked out of the dungeon.

He rushed to Kelsey and he looked at her shoulder. It wasn't life threatening, but did look to be very painful and was losing quite some blood. She looked weak and defeated, and

It bothered him dearly.

" Kelsey? Kelsey look at me." he said, gently lifting her head from her chest. He wiped the tear streaks from her face and looked at her eyes.

" You have to go Kishan. It's the only way to break the curse." she whispered.

He shook his head.

" I'm not doing this because of the curse. I could care nothing about it, all I care about getting you out of here." he explained as he caressed her cheek.

" Is Ren... Are his memory of me really back?"

" Yes. It's him, Kelsey. He's very worried about you." he added. She looked over Kishans shoulder to see Ren looking back at her. Similar tears in his eyes.

" she loves you, Kishan. You need to save her too." she stated, glancing over at Yesubai.

" let's go, Now" the guards moved and pulled Kishan off of his friend. He continued to struggle against them.

" don't let him win Kelsey. You fight and you dont give up! I'm coming back for you! I promise." he yelled as the guards dragged him further and further away until finally he was out of the room and the doors slammed and locked shut behind him.

The prayed that the next time he saw her she will still be alive. Lokesh was always one to change up the rules.
