Chapter 30: Black rain of sorrow
In the forest, a pair of mother and daughter are walking together. Both of them have a large amount of firewood on their back. The daughter is humming a song that sounds like a lullaby.
-Hum ~Humm ~Hum. (Daughter)
-You are humming that's the song again. (Mom)
-Hehe, It's my favorite song, after all, mother. (Daughter)
-Ah, it seems your dad has caught a deer for tonight. (Mom)
-He just tells you through telepathy mom? (Daughter)
-Yup. (Mom)
- I wonder when I will learn telepathy like mom and dad. (Daughter)
The mother pats the daughter's head and said:
-You will be taught by me when you reached 10 years old, Ahma. (Mom)
-Hehe, I want to talk with mom and dad through telepathy too. (Ahma)
They slowly walk toward a small house in the village. They reach the small house and put all the firewood on their back down.
-Honey, we are home. (Mom)
The girl tries looking around the house and answer:
-Dad still has not come back yet, mom. (Ahma)
-He will be back soon, Ahma. (Mom)
-Deer meat! Dear meat! (Ahma)
-You should go and prepare for dinner, Ahma. (Mom)
-All right! (Ahma)
When the mother and daughter try preparing for the dinner. A man suddenly comes and hits the door.
-Eh, what's wrong honey? (Mom)
-I need to tell you something. (Dad)
-Huh, you can just tell me through telepathy, honey? (Mom)
-Have you tried using it again? I'm unable to use telepathy now. (Dad)
The husband starts telling something to the wife something. Her face changes to a scarred face. She immediately rushes to her daughter's place.
-What's the problem mom? (Ahma)
-Hey Ahma?(Mom)
-Yes, Is dad back already? Shall we have dinner now? (Ahma)
The wife bends down and asks her daughter:
-Do you want to play hide and seek with mom? (Mom)
-Right before dinner, mom? We can do it after finishing our dinner.
Some tears start falling down the wife's face.
-We need to play now. The winner will have some extra meat. (Mom)
-Ey, I will play then, mom. (Ahma)
-All right, now I will close the door, and you must find a place to hide, okay? (Mom)
-Hehe, I got it, mom. (Ahma)
The wife closes all the windows and doors before going out of the house. The daughter innocently believes in her mother's lie and hide in the closet. From outside of the house a voice of a man can be heard:
-Are those villagers are here yet? (Commander)
-Yes, I think all of them are here. (Soldier A)
The man commands.
-Kill them all! (Commander)
-What have we done?. Did we do something that, causes you to bring retribution to us? (Villager A)
-No, no, there is a normal human can use of telepathy. You guys have contracted with the devil to get that kind of power. (Commander)
-What kind of nonsense is that? (Villager A)
-No, no, I don't want to die! (Villager B)
Many fighting noises can be heard from outside of the house. The girl is hiding in the closet can hear everything starts crying. However, she used her hand to stop her voice from coming out of her throat. After a while, the noise outside of the house starts dying down.
-Remember to check every house to see if there is any survivor. (Commander)
-Yes, sir. (Soldier A)
The girl can hear the voice of each house being opened and checked. Finally, it's her house turn.
-Shh, is this just another bull shit maccrsace? (Soldier B)
-Heh, Author's royal just want to eliminate any potentially dangerous again, man. (Soldier C)
-You called a bunch of villagers can only use telepathy to communicate as a danger? What a joke! (Soldier B)
The girl can hear the voice of the soldier go around her house. Before they go out of the house, a soldier asked:
-You forget to check the closet. (Soldier C)
-Ye, right. Let me check it out. (Soldier B)
When the soldier tries reaching the close another voice can be heard:
-Are you guys are done, yet? Want to get some beer after this? (Soldier A)
-All right. I'm coming. (Soldier B)
The girl can only feel relieved when she heard those soldiers step out of her house. When no noise can be heard, the girl goes out of the closet and runs out of the house.
-Mom, dad? Where are you? (Ahma)
But there is no one to answer her back. In front of her, there's a pile of bodies littered everywhere. Including her mom and dad. She is rushing to her mother's body.
-Mom, you are telling me that you would give me more meat if I win the game. (Ahma)
-Mom, mom, please answer me. (Ahma)
The girl keeps calling out to her mom. However, there is no one responded to her.
-Hey dad, it's dinner. Let's wake up, don't sleep anymore. (Ahma)
-Mom, you promise we would play more games tomorrow right. (Ahma)
The girl starts crying, but no one stays on her side to appease her.
-You are still alive, mom, dad. Everyone will be my side forever, right? (Ahma)
The rain starts falling; a black smoke starts coming out of the girl's body. Those black smoke starts to envelop the villager body and make them move. The body of the villagers slowly stand up and go right next to the girl. They try hugging the girl to make her stop crying.
-Yes, we will be together forever. (Ahma)
