Lup-Dup... Lup-Dup... Lup-Dup... Heart Beats...
I'm in the way to the place mentioned in the letter.
It's a battle, battle for my mother, for my life and especially for the truth.
I'm looking at the gps in my phone to know how close am I getting.
As mentioned, I'm going alone in a taxi but I highly doubt that the taxi driver and Zachary have connection but that doesn't matter until unless he drops me at the spot and leaves.
*YOUR DESTINATION ARRIVED*
The taxi stopped.
My heart started racing and I got down the taxi and the taxi left.
It was a remote location and I could see an old incomplete construction building and hopefully it was building 17.
Today was very cold and the cold breeze is making me shiver with every step I took...
I was walking towards it and two men were coming towards me.
They were wearing black coat and black glasses.
"Celestial Petal"
"Yes" I replied.
"May I have your phone" one asked.
I handed him the phone I had, and that person gave the phone to the other person and he started walking away.
"Follow me" he said and I started following him.
We went through an elevator and we reached the sixth floor.
The door opened and the place was covered with thick sand.
I came out of the elevator and I was looking around to find an old, short man behind me.
He was dressed in black too with an oversized black overcoat.
"Hello dear"
His voice was rough and very straight, ironically considering how old he looked.
I said hello shakily and he smiled.
That smile looked warm but sure as hell, he isn't warm considering the message which was sent to me.
"Where is my mom?" I ask with tears in my eyes and a shaky voice.
"Heh, *sigh* how old are you dear?"
"I'm asking where my mom is, please leave her, what do you want? if you want something, deal with me, but leave her" I began begging him holding his leg.
He raised me up holding my shoulders and began inspecting my face.
"Just like your blood, those eyes, and this hair" he said plucking a strand of my hair and smelling it.
That genuine and warm face looked terrible up close.
It was spine chilling.
"My mother..." I began whimpering.
"She was innocent and indeed you are too my child"
"But there are MONSTERS in this world" he said stressing the word monsters.
He is speaking like he is narrating a scary story to a child.
"You know..."
"People fight it..."
"But"
"I would rather say, it is better to attain peace than wasting breaths fighting with those creatures"
He started walking closer and I began stepping back until it was the end.
If I take another step behind, I would fall and probably die.
The height frightened me because of which I stood near the pillar for support.
"Fear not child, fear not, you have the blood of courage, but now it is collapsing, unfortunately"
"I would have killed the world for you, but he blamed me"
"Me!" He shouted.
"What are you talking about? who blamed you? what happened?" I asked.
"Tell the Hales to forgive me"
"What?" I ask confused. "I'm not understanding anything, just please say where my mother is, please"
He stepped back near the elevator and opened the elevator gate and went inside it.
"Wait" I screamed.
"Stay there, stay there, I do not want to see your tears"
I stood there still...
"You deserve to know the truth, the history and your blood! but if I do so, he will kill me"
"You are soon going to leave this world just like her, you are leaving the monster, and the problems behind"
Leave the world? Am I going to die?
"Am I going to die?"
He smiled.
"If I let you leave without the answer to your question, the lord would never forgive me"
"The answer is Marilyn is dead, may her soul rest in peace"
"No, this can't be true, no, it can't, it can't"
My heart stopped.
My world stopped.
My mom!
My mom!
"MAA" I screamed.
My stomach began hurting with pain.
"That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee" he said loud enough for me to hear every word over my cry for my mom.
"You are too young to die too Celestial"
"Forgive me, Celestial"
Suddenly it felt like someone hit me with a hammer in my stomach.
And then again!
And again!
I looked at him.
He had a gun.
And again there was a shot!
It was excruciating...
I leaned against the pillar.
There was another blast!
And another!
He closed the elevator gate and went down.
I looked at my hand and it was bloody red...
Blood!
I closed my eyes and I was waiting for death to take me and I drifted into something...
-----------------------------------
"Is she dead?"
"6 bullets, the child wouldn't survive"
"Brian"
"What?"
"Please, let's take her body and dig her a grave, may her soul rest in peace"
"You old bastard! If we do that, how will the world know that she is dead, just in case the world finds about her"
"You are a monster Brian"
*Laughs*
