7th Demon was just not so demon !

rumple tumple so simple
our aandra is still so single
why so boys are rare
in the village of secret
that none is there to love...?
is there really no one to love ?

In front of bonfire at late night ,
some villager was giving Mr. Banana rhythm to his jingle .
Aandra was shy hearing that , her dark circles were exhilarating her eyes , her pale face was blushing first time .She looked down in awkwardness , which was disturbed by Demon's question .

" So why did you kill Mrs Pickles ? " with great simple and smiling gesture Demon asked . The same Demon who is much manly .who kept his weapon as it is ,with same sharpness and shape which was years before .

" Well i am not sure whether it was she or some one else , but one sudden night , it was no-moon night , i too had no oil left in lamp , so it went off . There was blur shadow walking tangential from hut , there was barely any noise of the footstep too , few minutes later the shadow seemed to run towards me , with a rod type structure ." Aandra said . she was interrupted by Demon's question .

" how did you know she was a woman ?" Demon .
" Her shadow of flying hair , her scream ." Aandra .
" Then how you don't know ... who was she ? "Demon .
" Because it was dark ... "Aandra .
As Demon was asking Aandra questions , he stood up and started a casual walk while having a deep eyes on Aandra , a body language towards Aandra , but was walking away from her ... Dark night , a bonfire , half of high high people and half were sleepy .
" You are sure you killed pickles ?" Demon
" Yes ... i guess she was told to kill me by Queen of Death . I don't know why though ? Pickles was never seen ever after again . " Aandra
All high and half sleepy people were seeing , hearing , trying to concentrate on the discussion . but no one was that focused .

while Demon caught someone uninvited .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Welcome Mrs Pickles ... give some gossips ! " Said Demon uncovering her mask .

All who were unfocused and high ... all stood to the moment in shock .
A celebration was turned into cremation .
After few minutes of emotional drama ,  a smile , a hug , a cry a surprise .

Mrs pickles Began " She wanted Death ! " Said Mrs Pickles while crying , " we loved each other from many years ... She always wanted me to kill her , nut how can i  ? i loved her , i wanted her ... one night ... she burs ted out , took a weapon , putted in her throat , putted in her skull , but no blood flow emerged nor she was dead ... She was cursed for ...being Immortal ! "

" But why she tried to kill Aandra ? " Mr Banana .

" Aandra was her Half a Life Half a Death ... i thing ... she thought killing Aandra ... would have ... killed her too . " Mrs Pickles paused " I don't think so she is dead .She dint came to castle nor her body was found  She is Queen of Death ... She might only get killed by the King of Disrtuction ."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Demon took her to the River of life on fine day time , but the conversation was so not romantic but about death .

" So ! Mrs pickles is not dead ... whom do you think you killed ? " after many days Demon Asked .
" May be Queen , or i din't kill anyone but just harmed or injured . " Aandra in innocense .
" May i ask you , how did you do that ?" Demon in curiosity .
" I gave a deep cut on her neck , by a sharp bone of Lemon , our dead dogs Bone . " She ended her answer in a smile and glittered .

Demon laughed loudly in appreciation on her self protection and much more on her choice of weapon .

But a silent smile on Aandra's face was exploring that....... Demon was just not so demon !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Aandra's Hut !

"Mrs Sausages , how are ?"suddenly asked a twenty year Aandra . She was not that innocent now .

" I am fine dear , you say ... why so sudden concerned ? " Mrs sausages was use-to her sudden tricky questions !

" See the morning outside ... it's so beautiful outside , i wonder when would i be let out , to go and wander in the woods " Aandra was enjoying the view form window . which had morning rising Sun , snowy mountain , trees , fog , birds , a walking way from woods and two people coming with some four leg animal on shoulder of one among them !

" Mrs Sausages , look at that , see its something very rare thing i can see ! " Aandra was in silent shock and Mrs Sausages was getting annoyed due to her disturbing talking !

" Now what ? ... you are getting very ... " Sausages dint get the word ,as she was folding Aandra's cloths which were washed last night !

"I think ,its Demon and Banana , but who is that animal " Aandra said and begin to cry as it was very surprising for her to see his two beloved coming after almost 10 years .

Mrs Sausages came near Aandra to see what she was pointing at ! She saw them walking ... just to conform she went at door to get a wide vision at them ! 

Yes They were Demon and Mr Banana !

Aandra gathered energy to get up from bed ,she took some slow steps and went at door !

She was seeing all the Villagers were happily dancing and carrying them on shoulder , making amusing voices and coming at her direction , Aandra was smiling and crying at same time , 

crowd of 20-30 , changed it everything into ceremony and celebrations !

Two Man landed on ground from someones shoulder in front of Aandra ! She was just like to get pinched as if to make sure it was not dream , but it was all real ! There was awkward silence in all though everyone's faces were smiling happily . 

It was a awkward moment for all , but not as much as for Aandra ,she was facing her two lovely men , who all said would have died long back . She was facing the 2 men for whom she cried many years , for whom she cried that they are not going to come back and now she ws crying she was wrong , they are , they are !

" I HATE YOU BOTH ! " SHE SCREAMED , when her lips were smiling but eyes were full of tear .

 She hug's them up and all mob clapped the applause ,

"You took a good care of Aandra , Mr Alphanso and Mrs Sausages ... we are very thankful to you  !" said Mr Banana , but words of praise were soon disturbed when they heard strange sound of something bumping on ground from a from tree ... all eyes magnetized towards it and 4 leg animal had just crashed from the tree near Aandra's hut !

" What the hell it is ? ... its so bloody huge ... what is it ?" Aandra

" I suppose you are in great influence of Mrs Pickles " Said Mr Banana

" Surely I was . So i killed Her !" Aandra 

" What did you do ? you killed her ? why when where ?"Asked Demon 

" Its a long story ! ... tell me what is this creature ? "

" Its an PANDA , its a surprise gift from Demon to you , its your new pet now !" Said Demon and Banana 

" Its not my Pet ... its our new Villager ! what its name ?"

" Paandra ! " Said Mr banana !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Demon and Mr Banana were pretty older now , but time had taught a angry Demon to smile and a funny clown Mr Banana to get serious ! 

It is very difficult to get into Secret Village and it is only reason why it was very less crowded . It was also Cursed .

Everyone were asking Demon and Mr Banana how the outer world was , Mr Banana just stoppled the questions by answering " world beyond ... is not as usual as square one , but also not as simple as square one too...its all beyond you  a good you...a bad you  and thing is its never about you in world   ! " 

Thus at night time celebration was on its highest pick !

holy water and holy smoke were like running like river and cloud ... gift of nature was been praised !

In middle of village on a crosswalk , a big warm bonfire was focusing on a happiest face there present was a smiling face of Aandra a young Aandra in her early twenties , curses made her weak , but never she got broken . a good body , not so very active moments , cloths she wear were some she got from villagers on her birthdays till now , blonde hair , white pale skin , red nose , swollen eyes ,  dried lips but she always smiled !

Panda was lazy enough , to sleep anywhere ! Aandra never imagined there would have been anysuch creature , she liked the gift ... she wanted to name Panda as Lemon too , but as she never wanted a same bad luck of heartless death to be labelled to this Paandra too !

Night was getting darker , bonfire was getting loud , everyone was happy ... everyone one had their own shadows when in front of fire  ... except one ... she had a Shadow of brightness ! 

5Th ... Days went .

Recap -

Lemon was dead . 

Demon returned to get Mr. Banana from forest . 

Mrs . Pickles went to kingdom of Death toward Queen of Death ! 

Aandra had her worst Birthday ! 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

At Kingdom of Death ! 

“ Mrs. Pickles are you going insane , why do you want to meet me now ? ”

a question strucked while strange marble eyes of Queen of death , scanned Mrs Pickles  ! 

“ Sorry for inconvenience ... but let me tell you . Demon is not being loyal towards you Majesty ! ” her low whispering while looking towards Queen but still cautious that no one hears her saying though she knew queen lived alone in kingdom ! 

Egnoring Mrs Pickles , Queen undressed herself infront of her . 

A body full of scars was once again in front of Mrs Pickles . The face that looked so beautifully stagnant was much accompanied with flowing scary body . The figure and shape of queen appealled Mrs. Pickles close to  her , they had a lusty eye contact .  

It was not new for both to make love with eachother , soon placing her hands on scars , feeling its roughness but kissing soft lips of Queen , getting on bed and having tremendous breaths their hairs and fingers interwined in themselfs both surrendered themselves towards love . 

“ Why did you killed that dog ? ”

Asked Mrs Pickles to Queen when she was on her , in the middle of a kiss . 

“ Dogs give happiness . That Dog was giving her happiness , i hate dogs . Her Happiness was making me old ! ” just after ending this words , she kissed Mrs Pickles and undressed her . 

“ That Demon is no more loyal towards you Queen . I think he should be killed , he went to get Mr. Banana on saying/order of Aandra ! 

Queen knew Mrs Pickles was not here just to do love with her she was there to get some information she wanted know and spread as it was her tendency so Queen dint answered or talked to her much , they made love together for many days.  

-------------------------------------------------

At the Secret Village 

“ Dear Aandra its been 4 days , you haven't had enough food ... will you please have some atleast ! ” asked Mr Alphanso to Aandra placing a glass of warm milk on table near her ! 

Aandra was no were but in great sorrow ! 

She lost her pet dog , her Mr. Banana was lost and Demon was gone to find him . Which means both were lost ! 

“ i wonder were Mrs pickles have gone to ? ” asked Mrs Sausages to Someone while in front of Aandra ! 

“ May be towards Kingdom to Queen , they both need love ... just a woman's love . ”answeres someone sarcastically ! Which revealed many secrets , but which meant nothing about lost one's . 

“ Did ? Mr. Banana would have been eaten by a wild animal ?  Where he would be gone ? why he went again towards River of life ! why that queen dint killed me ? but killed my Dog ? ” 

Tornado of questions came to her mind again and again in which she was drawning in depression . 

----------------------------------------------------------

“ Here you are Mr. Banana ! ”

“ Oh ! Hi Demon , where were you ? i came to find you , but suddenly i lost way towards our village ! ”

“ Did you forget what is name of our Village ?  Its a secret village ! Its easy to go out but really mysterious to inside ! We lost our pet Lemon ! 

Aandra was crying so very much on his death and you also got lost , just for hersake i came to find you ! ”

“ Sad to hear that , but really i lost my way to get back ... ”

“ What are you holding at back what are you hiding ? ”

“ its a surprise for Andra she will

like it ! ” 

Mr. Banana was found ! 

Demon and Mr. Banana begin to get back to Secret Village 

Mrs Pickles was still at Kingdom 

New surprise was heading towards Aandra 

but till that ... Days went ! 

4Th Demon returned moment after this words .

4 Demon returned moment after this words . 

All were busy seeing the natorius scenes of Queen of Death at Aandra's Hut . But two people who were very close to Aandra were missing . 

----------------------------------------------

“ I knew you would be here Demon ... but lets go ... Queen of Death has killed someone ... may be Aandra is in Danger ! ” said the someone approaching from midst of darkness towards the bank of river ‘life’.

“ Get away Mr. Banana  ! I dont want to come... Queen wont kill Aandra !  now just go . ” Answered Demon with name as he recognised his voice ! and started throwing a sharp edged stones in River again  ... but it was dark ... and target was aimless ... silently it was raining too  . 

“ Why you doing like this ? what is wrong with you ? ... Oh ! Demon tell it to me ! ” Said Mr. Banana . 

It was jungle around and River of Life was moving like a silent snake through it . 

Animals , birds , reptiles all were registering their presence by making some noise but noone came in front and present themself , but somewhere darkness on trees , under bushes , in water ... whereever they would be they existed . 

“ Dont you understand , i said No means No ... Now just get out of here ! ” it was loud shout and after that there was sound of some footsteps climbing away , jumping away , walking away ... monkeys ! There was verge of silence after that ! Only flowing river had courage to keep on moving forward because it was just like moment was stop ! 

“ Ok ! I am leaving ! ” said Mr. Banana “ But just answere my one question ! ”

“ What ? ” asked furious Demon .

“ who is going to die ? ” 

“ Get lost ! ” Demon orderd and clown just went like a thunder ... and rain was stopping descendingly .

-----------------------------------------------------

As Mr. Banana was approaching towards village from river , he was been called by Queen of Death who was walking towards her castle ! 

“ Hey Banana ”

“ Yes my Majesty ... ”

“ Did you see the Demon ? ”

“ Supposed to be no My Majesty !”

“Tell him to keep a eagle eye on Aandra , otherwise he would die ”

“ Means Aandra is alive my majesty ? ”

“ Yes ofcouse she is ”

“ Rumples Tumples , Tak tak tak , Rumple Tumples Bu Bu Bu ! "

Nor Queen waited to hear Mr. Banana's funny useless jingles neither Mr. Banana asked anything much to her ! Wet bodies started walking towards their places they wished to go . 

Mr . Banana walked few steps towards Aandra's hut but sooner thought something and started running back towards RIVER of LIFE again , making sure Queen is not in middle of his way . 

It was all dark , slippery , cold and tricky to get back to River 'Life' again . Wild animals are more awake at night and more powerfull to fight . 

Mr. Banana was struggling to get towards River  , it was not easy this time . 

---------------------------------------------------

Mob of people was gathered around the Aandra's hut ! Entrance of Hut was mixed with blood and mud ... 

“ Get Away ! Everyone ... Go Back to you Shelter , You all are getting habit of gathering each time when something happens !  This is last time let me tell you ... GO AWAY ! ”

It was no other than Demon who was there at Aandra's hut , angrily throwing crowd away ! 

“ Dear Demon , leave them , look here , what She did to our Dog !  She Killed our ‘Lemon’ ! ” Weak Aandra was crying without any pause her running tears were mixing with her wet face due to rain . 

Everyone ran away slipping through the mud ! But not all ! Mrs Sasauges and Mr Alphanso waited ! Mrs Pickles waited little away from all but was keenly looking at all ! 

“ Where were you demon ? where were you ? She killed our Lemon ”

Aandra was having dead dog on her lap outside her hut , mud and blood was all stained on her cloths and bobt  but she dint care ! 

After clearing crowd , Demon sat in front of Aandra and slowly started crying just like a huge mountain was sliding down in valley . It was new to all that Demon was crying . 

Mr. Alphanso tried to hold him , but he denied the touch saying “ I will kill queen , i will kill Aandra , i will kill all ”

He knew he wont be able to kill anyone , but he loved his dog verymuch which was with him from time Aandra got Hut . 

Aandra and Demon were crying from bottom of heart on the Death of beloved one ! 

Aandra was talking , chanting , speaking while crying she was saying something like

 “Demon oh Demon 

   Come back at seven 

   You need to feed lemon”

The jingle which Mr. Banana made for amusing Aandra on Demon and Lemon ! 

“ Where is Mr. Banana ? ” a wave of surprise shock passed through both Aandra and Demon . 

On one knew where he was ... 

Demon was last one to meet him at River ‘ Life'  he confessed and also told her Mr. Banana went back before me ... but dint approached yet ! 

-------------------------------------------------

The Dog Lemon was heartlessly killed by a Weapon . 

Queen went to her kingdom . 

“ Demon you get Mr. Banana , I dont want to loose anyone again on same day ... Let me die a little deathfully you ... useless creature ... Go towards river get him again ... you womt be able to get Lemon but get my Mr. Banana again ... make it my Birthday gift you Devil Demon ... get lost ” Words were little harsh but sorrow behind it was not fake . Demon dint got angry on Andra's last words ! 

Mrs. Pickles the gossip woman went to kingdom quietly without anyone would know , to tell Queen of Death that amazingly 

 ... Demon returned moment after this words .
