-Chapter 7-A Chapter by Alya Usman
Chapter 7 ------------------------ “Where could she have gone to?” Tran bit his lips, as he walked in an endless road of black. “She should have left a hint or something!” He scratched his head, irritatingly. He gazed up at the moon once again, and sighed. Tiny clouds of fog escaped his mouth. “Sigh…” He was at his feet, curled inside his body. His arms wrapped across his knees. “The demons… they’re all cruel creatures!” “But Tran-” A voice in his head said calmly. “That means you are cruel as well.” “I’m not a demon…” He made his grasp tighter, and pressed his blurred head on his knees. “I’m… not…” “Oh but you are. Stop running away from the truth.” “I’m not… I’m not!!!” He clutched his head tightly, and raised it, screaming at the top of his lungs. “Get out! Get out of my head!!! Get… out…” Tears sprang down his cheeks and he pressed his head, slowly, in his knees again. “So are you going to mourn all day? Or are you going to do something? Oh… I forgot… Once a human is lost, you can’t bring him back.” “Shut up… I’ll bring her back if I have to… I will!” “And how do you plan on achieving that?” “There’s a girl…” “A girl?” He nodded. “A girl that is dying. She has an essence, she can grant the person, before she dies, she wants to.” “What essence?” “To create a human body, and generate memories. If I meet her and ask her to give me her powers, I can bring Sayii back.” “And implant fake memories in her?” “It doesn’t matter. I’ll be able to control her past that way.” “Hmm… Not a bad idea. Slightly cruel.” “It isn’t cruel. It’s only to help Sayii.” “It would be harsh on Sayii if she finds out the truth.” “I’ll make sure she doesn’t find out.” He stood up, with all his strength mustered up. “I won’t let her get close to her original memories.” “Hmm…I see. So… what is the girl’s name? The girl with the essence, I mean.” He narrowed his eyes. “Her name is…Muri.” “My head!” Sayii clenched her teeth, gripping her head tightly. “What’s this pain…?” Her eyes were wide open with pain, tears rolled down her slightly maroon eyes. “ARGH!!!! This pain… It’s excruciating…” She fell on her feet in sheer agony. “Someone help me… Please…! Someone!!!” She dug her teary eyes in the sand. “Someone…” -----------Images flashed in her mind. Everything was blurring. Carnival. Ferris wheel. Creatures with wings. Bloodshed. Dead. Dreams. Never came true. Tran. I’m sorry. Everything was blurring. -----------Images flashed in her mind. “What the…?” Sayii thought aloud, her voice shaking. “Who… What am I?” © 2009 Alya Usman |
