Lilies Glow
between two darkness (2)

It was the blow which marked the rock forever. He didn’t tell anybody by what happened .. this incident was a disgrace, and his feeling went beyond that of the victim. he deluded himself that he was definitely a bad person and would go to hell, as the church pastor told them about sins in the Sundays. After the incident, Milan fell into his own world, and suffered repeated school failures, so he did not go to the university and stopped at the stage before it. In fact, his parents did not blame him for his educating stumbling, because they were villagers and did not mind that he complets his father’s career in farming, or the carpentry he works in their workshop adjacent to the house. Just his introversion and isolation were hurting his mother, who was trying to get close to know the secret of this pain hiding behind his eyes.

(Look at you, you pervert!) .. One of his fellow bullies called him harshly at school, then he stretched his leg to obstruct Milan, who was walking with a distracted mind as usual. The result was that he fell on his face miserably in front of his colleagues. ..(cowardly pig)! . That was Milan’s last year of schooling, so he beared the matter as he would let everything related to education disappearing from his life . at the end ,It’s not the hardest thing he went through, after his old shock . by steady steps , he walked out of the school gate when he heard a thin voice calling him:

- Milan, wait!.

He turned to the blonde, and the only person who cared about him outside his family. She said :

- Milan, don’t be sad. they’re idiots

He said quietly while he keep walking :

- Since when do I care about them?!

She walked with him saying :

- you are right, few months and we will leave all this nonsense and go to university. I hope to attend Moscow University, I want to get out of the countryside.

- You are a good girl, Sarah, and you will achieve all your dreams.

- And you Milan, you deserve better. Which university do you want to attend?

He didn’t tell her that he intended to drop out and that he had no ambition, to avoid getting into a debate with her about it. They kept walking slowly with a few conversations, most of which took place on Sarah’s tongue, because he was so little spoken. her house showed up near so she left him with a broad smile.

The distance from school to his home is not small , and it was better for him to ride the bus, but he was prefering to take it on foot and sometimes he was running . The road was almost people-free, covered by white ice , and pine trees stand on either side as silent witnesses. After Milan reached puberty, he had not tested his masculine ability like the rest of his peers, whether by real relationships with girls or bythe custom that boys addicted, but that area remained covered by shadows within him. Only visions in dreams was visiting him from time to time, and when he was waking up wet, and although the details of the dream were unclear, all he was remembering was that overwhelming feeling and that incident in the basement! . his mind was dropping that memory and automatically linking it to that feeling. that was his crisis, maybe if he had resorted to any psychiatrist, a lot of things would have changed. but because he kept it inside and maximized it with guilt, that incident took over the leadership of Milan’s entire life.

He was running in his way to home and thinking about everything, when he found that six-year-old kid , walking in the opposite direction and crying. he seemed to have lost his way. Here and without thinking, Milan found himself slowing down, approaching him and grabbing his shoulder, saying with trembling accent.. (Have you lost your way, baby?!) .

(Open the door Milan!) .. Milan’s mother’s appeal continued with her violent knocks on the bathroom door. She was sitting, watching TV, when she saw him entering the house intrembling fast steps then he rushed to his room indifferent to his mother’s calling behind him. The knocking continued on the door, whose voices were mixed with Milan’s crying, shivering voice inside.( I made another Milan! I made another Milan!) .

Minutes later, the father ascended to upstairs when he heard the screaming . The door was broke under the weight of the father’s body. The parents rushed inside the bathroom and were shocked by the terrified scene. the mother screamed when she saw the blood on the bathroom floor!

(We will have our lunch together after work.)

Waleed said it , in the accent of those who did not want to argue , after he had entered her office .he looked at her tightly , making her swallow her intercepted words. He approached her more and in his eyes a dreamy look!. She got up quickly from behind the desk ... (Waleed, please not here!)

He held her hands and she couldn’t resist. At the same moment , Dina .. their company colleague, entered the office to finish some paperwork. They moved away quickly! but Dina was faster than them as she smiled ironically despite she tried to act naturally. After Dina finished the paperwork , she left the office while Waleed was looking at her carelessly. before he left, he turned around to whisper in Asia ears .. (I’ll see you!) .

In that upscale restaurant, the two sat closely while Waleed was firmly applying his hand to her hand. Trying to remove her hand from the siege, Asia said:

- Waleed, you have to deal more carefully with me, I don’t want conversations to be scattered about us.

- Do you want to convince me that our relationship is secret? The whole company knows about it!

She said coolly:

- I don’t care about them, I just don’t want Hisham to hear that about me .

Waleed said seriously:

-This is what I wanted to talk about, Asia, you have to take your decision quickly.

- Any decision?

- breaking up with Hisham until we get married!

She chuckled making Walid’s eyes flare, then she said:

- Do you want to marry me?!

- What do you want, Asia? I don’t understand you, when I tried to get close to you, you didn’t mind, so what’s in your mind?

- I wanted a friend and...

He angrily interrupted her :

-A friend? Do you really believe that word? I’ll talk honestly. I want to get you, whether by marriage or without it !. Now I want to know my position inside you, and don’t repeat the word friend please,our relationship is completely out of friendship.

She looked away saying:

-you donot understand what’s in me!

- What exactly do you want? I’m not going to continue in unclear relationship.

- Why don’t you keep the things the same?!

- Do you want to continue between two men?

He silenced to study the word, which is inside him and he couldnot say , but he didn’t take much time. he Just boldly threw it:

- I don’t mind, just give me what you give to your husband!

she looked at him with real cold expression .

-don’t convince me that you’re an innocent woman, you want what I want, but you seem to want more attempts from me!

After another silence, she said:

- How i envy you because things inside you are superficial and simple!.

- Superficial?! So explain things to me, philosopher!

Clutching her bag in preparation for departure, she said:

- Let’s finish this dialogue , I’m not in a great mood, give me time and I’ll give you what you want!

She drove more quickly than allowed on the streets of the glamorous city, as if someone was chasing her, until she got to the villa gate . the doorman rushed to open the gate.she crossed the entrance at a crazy speed. once she stopped the car and hopped out of it , she rushed into the villa and ascended the stairs by fast steps , until she became on the doorstep of his room.. Adam’s room.

she slowly entered and found him busy with his computer games. she smiled and approached him to embrace him hard, so he grumbled:

- Mom, I’m losing the game!

She violently kissed him on his cheek , saying:

- I missed you very much.

- So why do you leave me so much?

She embraced him saying :

-I won’t do it again. I promise.

She put him on his bed and didn’t leave until he slept. The nanny entered the room so Asia pointedat her that he had already fallen in sleep . She laid on her side while she was wiping her hand on his soft brown tresses. She noticed her husband as he walked into the room so she got up to receive him.

He approached her and gave her a long hug, at last she gently withdrew. Holding her chin, he told her:

- Won’t you go back to our room?

As she ran away with her eyes, she said:

- I slept the last two nights, first one hour, second three hours. Extreme darkness helps me. she silenced little then looked at him :

- loneliness too!

A look of distress appeared on his face. He got away from her then said:

- I’ll leave you until you get your runaway sleep back, and then we’ll have another talk. She stood in her place with heavy silence , then she moved in the direction of her dark room, saying inside her... Why would everyone want to talk today?

In the dark, she laid while looking at the roof with eyes had no life in . Why is all this extinguishment? She feels absolutely nothing, just endless weirdness that separates her from everyone. She knows that everyone judges her as spoilt, wants to live the role of a depressed wealthy, who visits psychiatric clinics as in movies. If they looked inside her , they will know she is living another role, like she is an alien and her spacecraft anchored on the planet but she could not cope with its inhabitants! . Yeah, that’s the most accurate description of her feelings, I don’t belong to here! .

Waleed was just an attempt to ignite the fuse of life inside her , there is a passion that grows within human , when he commits something forbidden !. she didn’t reach that level of betrayal with Waleed so he lost his patience, but it certainly was the wrong relationship. However, Waleed’s lighter who she thought he might light something inside her, she found out that it wasn’t working, and so she added another burden to her. How is she going to pull out of his life after he got stuck in her by a crazy way? she doesnot rule out he may hurt her or hurt Adam for revenge!

A vortex that began to appear amid the waves to swallow her .it started with some negative feelings, and then added to it poisonous vibes and asphyxiation , so the vortex expanded more and more. She became fluctuating on bedding more quickly than usual. she left the darkness . she went to Adam’s room then she was back to the dark. She fluctuates on the bed. she leaves the dark. Taking a look at Adam. coming back and so, successively . In those moments, it seemed that her brain’s electrical circuits completely melted down, so without thinking... Her hand stretched in the dark for the knife placed on the table !

****

They opened their eyes this time to find a green phosphorous light flooding the cave !. For a natural person, this light will never be comfortable for the eyes, but in their case, it was like bright sunlight after they tasted the bitterness of darkness. They got up and did not use the walls this time, the walls that seemed to be the source of the green light, as if it radiated from the inside!. they kept walking and runing hoping to get out before the darkness attack them again, but it seemed like it was leading to infinity, just rocky walls that don’t end. they sat gasping after all the energy particles in their cells burned. Looking around, Milan said:

- I wonder how this arrogant would have acted in this situation, if he had been with us..

her heartbeat accelerated, when she remembered Ramo and her last moments with him ! .. where is he now?Milan’s frightened voice awakened her from the fugue of her mind... (Asia, look up!) . She slowly raised her head, as if she was afraid of something would fall over her head, and her eyes was shocked by seeing those beings hanging from the ceiling. Milan said:

- Looks like bats with their wings wrapped on their bodies, but their sizes are too large for bats!. Their bodies felt with the chills to the idea that those creatures were with them all the time in the dark , but they only saw them now. They lowered their eyes to escape from the creepy scene in the ceiling . Milan was silent with fugue eyes , when he saw Asia’s wrist on which some radioactive brown lines appeared. He raised his hand as he pointed at her wrist, saying:

- What are these signs?!

Asia paid attention and looked at where he pointed, finding that radioactive brown color on her wrist, as well as Milan also has the same spot on his wrist!.

- You too, you have these signs!.

Their eyes met and they remembered something in common which gathered them in past . Milan said after silence:

-Did you ever try to kill yourself?

she looked away and didn’t reply his question.he went on to say:

- the desire of death , i know this pain well .

She said quietly:

- It was a desire to escape, now it is a luxury we can’t get.

He looked at her face well and said:

-When I look at those childish features, I wonder, how did you commit your crime?

-Do you really want to talk about this?

- Let time pass , Asia. the countdown to the death of one of us has begun. tell me , what crime do you expect me to commit in my past?!

She looked at him with a fugue and then said:

-Did you kill ?

He laughed sadly and then said:

- killing is our crime. the question here is.. who did i kill?!

They stopped talking when they noticed that the light had begun to diminish relatively. Asia said with horror:

- Darkness will come back!. It looks like the walls are radiating as a result of the sunlight outside, and when it goes down, we’ll sink back into that dark.

Ignoring her correct remark about darkness, Milan said:

- I was a teenager when I first did it!.

- did what?!

looking around, as the darkness began to return strongly, he said :

-When I made another Milan !!.

****

Soft autumnal air , bearing fragrance that provokes soft chills in bodies. scattered yellow and orange leaves of trees was falling, while Milan was moving his broom right and left to clean the school yard from them. A time trip took six years since his parents found him drenched in blood on the bathroom floor in an unsuccessful suicide attempt. Six successive years after that incident, he lived on the edge of the world watching it . He stopped studying and moved away from everyone, as his life in the countryside fueled his isolation more and more. Six years have passed as a day repeated, between sleeping and eating and helping the father in his workshop or in his agricultural business. Six years and there’s been no new event which turning things around or changing the course of life. As for sleep, it occupied about half his day. That is, he spent half of the six years sitting in his subconscious lobbies. Slow and tedious course of life and in its background, the image of the little innocent boy who was destroyed by Milan that day. he is always there, watching Milan in silent tearful expressions that never left his mind. After six years, he woke up that day to decide to go through life again, whatever the way he would live with !.

He said goodbye to his parents in the countryside and moved to the city, where he stayed at narrow residence not exceeding the size of the room and bathroom. his father was paying him his monthly wage, until he found work. After a painstaking effort and frantic search, he finally took up his job, as a cleaner at a primary school! Was that by chance or intentional? To be so close to the source of his nodes and the place of darkness within him, did fate blind his eyes to all other job opportunities?

Or was he who was looking for work that would make him close to his prey? The truth is that he doesn’t know exactly, but by passingof the days in that work and his movement between the corridors of the garden and the playground and the classes , and his eyes which was monitoring the little ones around him ,All of this made the matter certain inside him, the old Milan is over forever, and was replaced by the worst monster you could meet in your life!. It was only a time that was passing till the time to snipe come , and he’s been patient until that point!

Little Michael is always lonely.

Little Michael cries a lot.

Little Michael always sits in that corner of the park at break time to get away from the bullies,so the hawk’s eyes noticed the little Michael ! . Gradually, he approached him as a lovely friend, he gradually became his only large friend, and when time came, this large friend offered him a little adventure behind the school fences at break time, and that’s it .!

Waves lined up one by one, like small hilltops that crumbling into millions of parts when they hit the beach. The day is in its final moments, and the wind continues to blow, bringing great mildness to this stifling summer weather. There, on this yellow sand, Adam sat to build his own mansion with his bare hands.the fact that he had caught the eye around him, as what his hands made was accurate and dazzling, and you can’t believe it came out of the hands of a barely five-year-old kid . Asia looked at him as she sat on her seat in relaxed mode. Adam’s genius began to show up very early, since he got into the kindergarten and his teachersconveyed to her their observations of his superiority in everything , despite his young age. . She also received many tips, that she has to take a different course in education, to suit his rapidly evolving abilities. She not only felt that she is alien to this world but also her son!

After he finished, he rose from his session on the sand back to his mother without much pride, with that small gathering around his sandy mansion, he told her as he was between her arms:

- Mom, let’s get out of here!

-Is some thing bothering you , sweetheart?

- I want to get away from them, I don’t like crowds!

She had become accustomed to Adam’s love of isolation, and that sounds very strange for children, as their best aspirations to companionship and playing . her phone shook so she raised it in front of her sight .. it was Waleed calling . she sighed with tightness and clear blame for herself. After her husband moved her to the hospital that day, Waleed visited her with her co-workers, and the madman didn’t try to hide anything!. It seemed very clear to everyone, but Hisham is not a reckless man who loses his temper easily.. he studies every step before he does it. he swallowed his feelings and behaved tactfully in front of everyone. After she recovered, although he insisted on following her sessions with the psychiatrist, and although she left work, Hisham changed with her a lot. the scene he saw in the hospital definitely volunteered and told him the whole story.

Asia rose and took Adam’s hand to leave the beach, and when they were heading to the car, someone accidentally hit her. A quick word of apology from him and then he continued on his way, Asia did not pay attention to him and completed her steps. she took the driving position and started moving by the car , when she saw in the side mirror, this guy who was standing looking at them steadily. a shaved man, with fine features and eyes that have a small percentage of strabismus !

＊＊＊

- Stop talking , Milan!

She said it in disgust. she put her hands on her ears in the dark. He said with difficulty:

- We are all criminals here, or will you pretend with innocence now?!

- I can’t hear your voice now, shut your mouth!

he silenced reluctantly as he approached the wall more, and when he accidentally touched her hand in the dark, she shouted:

- Get away from me!

- Stop whining!

He grabbed his bag to mess inside it, hoping to find any fruit from what they were collecting, after his stomach hurt him from hunger , but his hand hit something else!. Metal, at finger size , he soon knew it as when his finger pressed it , the first fiery spark went off!

it took it no more than a few seconds, as he automatically rose his finger to turn off the spark and to drown again in the dark. the two shouted and stuck to each other immediately , without even intercepting Asia, what they saw in the light of the flame snap, almost stopped their hearts from horror!. In the dark, they were in their places, in a position between sitting and standing. they was filling the cave floor like huge army . those beings that similar to bats with their shiny tusks !. When Milan lit the light, he felt that sharp thing like a blade which pierced his hand . Milan tried to be calm and held his breath . And so the two kept sticking to the wall that night, without even a passing whisper coming out of them!

When the green light came back, the two of them had their bones stiff and their throats dried out of fear, so it was hard to get away from the walls. they threw themselves on the floor gasping and looking up to the ceiling , as the mutants returned to their overturned hanging positions !. They stayed that way for a good while, after which they slowly rose to keep going. They were walking like the living dead with their wobbly gait. They were hungry as they hadn’t eaten any thing since they entered the cave , so they had no power to keep on but they had not another solution . Inadvertently, Milan was touching her from time to time during the walk, so she flew off the handle, as she has not been able to expel from her mind his terrible confessions.

One of the times he touched her, she pushed him away from her and dropped him on the floor, so he caught rage too. he pulled her and brought her down to the ground.Suddenly, he felt powerful in his exhausted body. He stuck her back to the ground until she groaned in pain. She said among her teeth:

- Leave me, you criminal !

He held her face tightly :

- You’re so weird, Asia. your face like these kids who...

She interrupted him screaming:

- Shut up Milan!

He said angrily:

- Well, I’ll teach you how to complete the journey with me without noise.

Milan took his pants off, while Asia continued screaming!

she laid on the floor without movement, what happened in the last minutes was unbelievable !. Is it not enough everything she went through to be raped harshly? She drowned in crying and screams. She had no tears for a long time ago, but her tear channel that time didn’t take all the pressure on it and overflowed its salty water. The fact that Milan was no better than her, he stuck to the wall and was shaking, Looks like he wasn’t conscious in those minutes. he didn’t want to complete the walk alone . He curses the life that put him in the role of the rapist villain with no real desire to do so. Also he wondered where that power came from to do it and he can barely walks . After her screams stopped and the silence prevailed, he spoke in a trembling accent:

- I wasn’t conscious. believe me, something here in this damn place, made me do it and gave me strength too!

She was turning her back to him at those moments. He heard her mumbling with tearful choked words which he couldnot understand: Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

-What are you saying?

She sit like she suddenly lost her mind, and then shouted at him, saying:

I killed my baby. I killed Adam!

Loaded with a small basket of purchases, he walked around the market to buy some of the supplies he needs in his residence. Days have passed as he did not walk out of his room and did not see the street, after the alarm spreaded in the city after two children disappeared from the school where he works , and even the school was suspended for a month because of Parents panic. The police have not stopped searching and investigating since the children’s disappearance, but the fog was still covering the mystery of this crime. one person in this world knows what happened, one person knows the spot under which the two kids bodies was buried forever.one person is now walking around the market to buy some supplies that he needs!

He stopped in front of the teller who was following the hanging screen with a fugue, which was broadcasting some local news , so he didn’t pay attention to Milan who was waiting in front of the machine.When the picture of the two missing children appeared on the screen , the teller sighed, mumbling:

- This world’s shit won’t end, we’re all going to hell!

he paid attention to Milan, whose sights were also attracted to the screen and he said:

- Sorry, looks like I delayed you a lot.

Milan said faintly :

- it is ok .

referring to Mike’s picture, the teller said sadly:

-I know this kid’s family. They’re having a hard time. I think they haven’t tasted sleep since the incident. May God mercy them.

Milan said in a tone of approval:

- Yeah, sure, but the police haven’t figured out why they disappeared yet, they might still be alive!

- It is worse than death, son. When death comes, we are heartbroken, but we give up at the end .

- Let us remain optimistic and pray for God to save them from any misfortune .

- I trust God, but I don’t trust humans. I’ve seen a lot of these demons in this world.

- Who are they?!

-These paedophiles! The dirtiest humans you can meet in your life. it is Scary that they look like natural people. I’ve seen the police break into a neighbor’s apartment that I’ve known for years. A nice, quiet guy, but a little introverted. If the devil was an ugly anomaly, we can distinguish him , but he is always wears deceptive masks. We see him every day, but we never get to know him!

Milan swallowed his saliva with difficulty and looked away , when the teller gave him his bag and the rest of his money, saying:

- Sorry, son. i talked so much , let God save you

at school, Milan and his colleague were quick to finish cleaning the corridors and classes early before students came. Today, the school administration decided to resume its school schedule, such as the rest of the schools, and of course increased its security precautions in anticipation as well as the rest of the schools in the town. After Mike - his first catch at school - it seemed that the wolf inside Milan was still hungry, his appetite increased and wanted more,so his second catch was only two weeks later without even taking the duty of caution to not be discovered . The lust inside controlled him completely. but after his second victim, the city was flared with panic , so Milan’s mind woke up to study the situation. Of course he decided to leave school, to pursue hunting elsewhere, but since the doubts up to that point have not approached him, there is no need to ever provoke it by his leaving.Once the situation stabilizes, he will go away. He went to the park and the playground to start preparing them after they accumulated the leaves. he grabbed his broom and began to swept the ground right and left, when the first snowflakes of this winter began to fall! . he looked up to the sky.. the first precipitation of the snow has always been a source of happiness for him, now the flakes touches the skin of his face, without that sense creeping into it, and nothing can wake that old Milan anymore.

he Ignored the snow flakes falling that has increased and proceeded to complete his work, when he heard the noise coming from behind! . he turned around to see the secret of that fuss. It’s still too early for students to attend. flakes increases and noise also increases. He dropped his broom involuntarily when he saw the angry crowd coming toward him. A minute later, he also fell next to his broom, down the crazy kicks, that almost killed him on the first snowy morning of the winter of this year!

＊＊＊

-This is the end ,Asia. I can’t live like this.

Hisham said as he was looking to his finger which was free of the metal ring that had once linked him with her . Asia remained silent with two eyes that were not too surprised by this decision . any way she saw the matter must happened . She doesn’t blame him and she never will . she knows she’s responsible for this wound , and because she didn’t feel attracted to any other man, she didn’t ask for a divorce, so as long as she feels alienated among everyone, why would she keep Adam away from his father , and deny him the chance to grow in a normal family? but Hisham raised the banner of withdrawal. He continued:

- Of course we will maintain a friendly and respectful relationship for Adam, I know all your rights and you will fully receive them.

She sighed:

-I don’t doubt it. you have always been generous to me, Hisham, and I don’t blame you for anything.

They became silent again. There are families that take years in the tussles and disputes until it put the word of separation, and there are families that don’t take it any more than a few words to end it all! . simplly and without argument, it’s all over. Hisham rose and left for his bedroom, while she rose with heavy steps to Adam’s room. She stood in front of his bedding contemplating him with sadness as a small vortex began to form between the waves . How long will that feeling last? Even her baby feels alienated from everyone! . She went back to her room and closed the door to get back into the darkness and her bedding which can not keep her sleepy body more than one or two hours per day. The ceiling that she never ceased to stare down its details. her body that takes all possible and physically positions per minute to attract sleep for nothing . All these vocabulary have become as monotonous as an endless nightmare. The stone in the throat blocks it like it divides it into two parts. Frozen tears think of melting to surrender to the fire burning inside. Her chest rises and lands as if she is only a machine. It’s bigger than divorce. she knows that. She couldn’t complete that night in the dark. The vortex became like the black hole that she would evaporate into.

she went to Adam’s room and sit on the seat opposite his bedding. she was moving her sights between him and the ceiling as usual , while she was sliping back to the twilight zone. She was looking at the ceiling, when she saw those three luminous overlapping circles! . She slowly rose to approach that luminous spot, and came closer to the little mattress which was below the luminous circles concentrated in the ceiling above, and then when she lowered her eyesight to him... To the sleeping little one, she saw that thing on his forehead! The three luminous circles didn’t come from the ceiling, but they were the center of the rays coming from his forehead.

She touched down her neck with her hand and her breath accelerated with panic, as she was staring at that radiant luminous tattoo with the little one’s forehead. The pillow was on Adam’s belly .she approached further and grabbed the pillow to keep it away from him , then seconds passed and her eyes was opened again!.

When Asia restored her consciousness that was lost for seconds , she was not sitting on the seat, she was standing next to the bed holding the pillow in her hand. On this shot , Hisham entered the room. she looked at him with surprise. He violently pushed her so she fell to the ground. She saw him screaming trying to wake up Adam who she didn’t know why he stayed asleep despite all that noise!. What’s going on? Why doesn’t Adam wake up? Why is Hisham screaming as he cradles his little body? Time stopped at those moments, and it seemed to replay the scene over . She kept lying on the floor in a dazed and desperate situation , then she saw Hisham leaving the little one’s body on the bed, heading for her with eyes on fire and screaming... (Killer!) That was when he suddenly fell to the ground unconscious, as if he had taken a blow to the head from a hidden attacker, after which Asia followed him into the subconscious world!

＊＊＊

Another walk, amid the phosphorous light that was giving its last breath. The silence wasn’t their only mate that time. Hatred, hostility, desire for revenge were walking with the last two of the exiled Group . against their will , they cannot part ways in this march. they have one way and neither of them could escape from the other. Asia was overflowed by physical and psychological pain in that abhorrent cave. How much does she wish someone to uproot her heart now. she doesn’t even wish for a life after her first death, she just want to be the end. At her heart, she knows that she will inevitably die, and that Ramo this, perhaps one of the illusions of that island, represented to them all to lead every one of them to his last stop. but now she’s sure of something else. It’s Milan Station! , because she knows the end of him is so close and will be by her hands! .She will not only revenge for herself, she will revenge for those young kids whose innocence has been violated without guilt . she does not know how she will do it, but she is sure that the cave will guide her to the path, as he gave Milan the strength to do it!.

She stopped walking after it became dark around the corner. they sat glued to the wall. In the dim light, she saw that brown sign that was along his hand , he told her after he saw her looking at his wounded hand:

- It’s their claws, it looks like they don’t bear light!

she looked at him with clear contempt and hostility, and then she looked away, but Milan never wanted to stay silent even after what he did.

He rose and walked away to empty his bladder before dark. She grabbed his little bag and mess inside until she touched the metal. She put the bag back in position, while her grip on the lighter intensified, so how would she do it? She put her head on the wall and closed her eyes .. she knows .. the cave will provide her with the answer. She opened her eyes and took her head off the wall. she touched her bristles that was adjacent to the wall and found them so dusty. She sensed the wall with her hand , and found the dust easily disintegrating from the wall, so she made a good handful only with some light blows on it. She felt the iron piece inside her hand shaking. Asia looked around and to the ceiling . she found the creatures up there, still getting ready to wake up, and Milan was still replying nature’s call, so she came so close to the handful of sand, and pressed her finger on the piston to set off the little flame !

They were sticking to the wall in the dark, at first they thought that all the problem was darkness so they spent their first night peacefully, but knowledge is expensive , after they knew about that creatures , they paid the cost from their feelings and fear , so We envy those who live in the bliss of ignorance! . The fear that night was relatively lower for Milan, as long as he was in a deflated position and far from any source of light, those beings would not hurt him, but the situation for Asia was different! . After a silence that was cuting off only by the sound of their breaths, Asia spoke:

- Tell me, if you got your life back now, and you went back to our world where we came from, will you continue what you were doing?

He said in a semi-ironic tone:

-Do you think this depends on a decision I make with my full will? I do or don’t, didn’t you ever feel like there was a force inside you leading your life, while you stand helpless in front of its sweeping tyranny? And you’re just an instrument in that power?

-So you didn’t regret anything?

-I don’t think about that anymore. Conscience, good, evil, right, wrong, all that vocabulary is completely absent from my world!

- Aren’t you afraid of hell?!

- God has left me, Asia. He left me in that basement and didn’t save me. I was out of his way a long time ago.

- Well, I won’t judge you! but now you’re going to your fair trial!

Milan suddenly found himself drenched in the sand that Asia had collected in her bag, and then the moment after that,sand picked up fire from the torch in Asia’s hand.

Why is the fear that time? from the dark? Or from those creatures hiding inside, which were Asia was bumping into while she was running away from the blazing spot? Or from Milan’s screams while he was writhing from the flames, and from the dozens of claws that penetrated his body because of violation of the sanctity of darkness?!. Do you imagine how it is to run amidst the crowds? crowds is not like any crowds ! , so the only thing saved her from that situation was her unconscious fall amid the creepy crowd!

As usual, she laid on her back looking far to the ceiling. but that time she wasn’t looking at his bombastic details , she was looking at hundreds of those creatures wrapped around itself like bats. Milan’s screaming is still in her ears. it was a horrible way to death , but is she sure he’s dead?! The idea reacted to her quickly so she rose to look back. her body shivered when she saw him standing within a distance and his skin completely burned!.

she screamed and ran with the highest speed .finally she stopped and looked back but he was gone! . She didn’t stop running, it would be a nightmare to stay locked in here, with no food or drink, and is chased by the ghost of Milan who she killed . she will kill herself by the same way to rest for ever. The walk continued by the help of the wall, then the green light had begun so she didnot stop running to the sun set and there was no hope of getting out. If the cave is Milan Station, why didn’t the exit route appear?!. Two steps Two more, and she suddenly stopped. she was staring at that thing, which had wiped out every atom of hope inside her. The road was over at that point with that harsh, winding rock wall, stretching to the ceiling .

Down the water, the glow never stopped shaking, the glow on two sides. The three circles are on her forehead, and the second is that white lily. There is a handsome brown face with sharp features looking at her from the top of the water. The sand fills the beach and her dress too!. As usual,She lies on her back pondering the great heavenly ceiling, and when she turned her head she saw him , with his shaved head, fine features and glowing circles!. she looks up , to find that the heavenly ceiling is obscured from her eyes, with that small head which has soft brown bristles. the small arms stretched out to hug her head softly. she gets up and pins the small one to the ground tightly and harshly . he was wriggling and trying to get away then he finally stopped . she screams loudely.. Oh, Adam! Seagulls continue screaming , she looks up to find the three luminous moons, looks behind to find the human gorilla devouring Chai Lee’s body with satisfaction, while he lies smiling!.she hears Ibo’s cry filling the air , it looks like the tree hasn’t finished its meal yet !

She is running, but her steps are slow. she looks at her right side , and finds the bloody river and Bilal’s head is floating up , while his organs dissolved below! She is Surprised by a white flowering spot and its petals is flashing, she moves the petals to right and left and looks down to find Aung’s face still smiling! . she is running and running , until she finds Taqyia is standing, looking at her and smiling , but how her lips is stretched from the ear to the ear?!!. The ground underneath her is very damp, so she dived into it up to the knees . she can not move , and finds that burned monster slowly approaching her !.the ground swallows her down, to fall into a deep chasm , and before the bottom picked up her body, that powerful hand grapped her . she looks up to that hero who is saving her and finds that one who looks from the top with his fine features and shaved head, and throws a light beam at her face from his glowing tattoo!. She was laying on the cave ground with closed eyes when the bright light woke her up . she covered her face with her hand from the bright light .She sat for a few seconds on the ground to realize the things around her. She’s still on the cave ground, but no dark, no green light which strains the eyes!. Just that bright light beam coming from the nozzle up in the ceiling !. she touched the wall to find protrusions such as stairs she can ascend on them. The sun was at the height of its brightness, and its disc seemed great from that height while it was amid those majestic white clouds. Hardly she got her body out of the crater, until she finally became outside the cave. She looked around her . she was on a mountain top, and when she approached the edge and looked down... She could see the turquoise beach ! . From her position, she could see the whole island, but it was so different from what they saw in it! . It was just turquoise blue sand, no crystal fruits trees, no glowing bamboo forest, no dusty area of predatory trees, no ice with whole life beneath, no bloody river, no flowering white land, no rainbow land!. she looked in all directions, and she made sure more that there were no life milestones below. she looked at the sun that looked so big, and at the clouds that you could touch from that height, and then she approached the edge and stopped at one inch from it. She touched her neck and her body shook with a laugh, started faintly and then gradually escalated to fill the silent vibe.. she screamed ..Where am I? . The wind messed with her short-brown bristles. The laugh was stopped. The eyes were closed, and then she crossed the inch that was separating her from the abyss .
