Chapter 1 - opening

A young women with blond hair and blue eyes walked through the shores carrying a little baby in her hands. Her otherworldly hair was fluttering due to the cool breeze. Even in the dark night which put a black veil on the world, she stood as a sole light in the desolute plain.

The tidal waves passed through her small feet making the already freezing feet tremble. She walked from the shore to the forest that is standing there menacingly ,as if even looking at it making any body send a shiver through their spines. But she didn't feel the freezing cold or the terrifying nature of the forest.Her each step was slow and deliberate. She didn't even spare any glance to the beautiful view of the beach or the starry night sky. Her eyes was glued to the tiny little baby on her hand sleeping soundly with out any worry of the surroundings. Her otherworldly beauty was broken by the state of her face. Her eyes were puffy and all the tears was dried and sticking on her cheeks.

'I am sorry'

She started looking around searching for something. Her eyes stopped at a big tree standing not so far away from where she was standing. Calling that tree big might be an understatement. It was truly humongus. Like truly humongous or enormous if you want to say so. She started walking towards the big tree. She reached beneath the tree and placed the child under it very slowly and deliberately. Her mind was repeatedly saying the same words.

'Iam sorry, i am sorry, i am sorry'

She wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath and stood up. She gave the child a last look and turned.

'Forgive me my child for being pathetic of a mother '

**************

' Darkness'

'It's all what i could see.

Well, see might not be the correct term. Is it?'

'Who can see darkness. Isn't seeing nothing at all makes us perceive darkness.

I don' t know.'

'Well if you ask me what made me in this peculiar situation, the answer still would be...

I don't know

It's like i am floating in the sea of darkness

I can't see anything, nor can I hear or feel.

Well that's makes this situation more peculiar.

'You see, I have this condition named tinnitus, so it's been a long time since I've enjoyed even a second of silence. Whenever the sounds all around fade away, I still hear that fucking ringing, making me lose all shit. So I'm actually enjoying this peculiar situation, even if it's dangerous.'

'Still this is taking a little bit lo- '

'Oh!'

Suddenly a bright wave of flash entered my eyes. Still i couldn't see anything or make out what is happenig.

So i waited, slowly i could feel my body and i could hear faint noises. Like it's muffled, but i could still hear it.

I squinted my eyes due to the brightness of the light. I tried to feel my body. I was lying on something like a bed. But its not soft. Well not that i cared .

I tried to look around, but i couldn't rotate my neck.

Oh!

Oh! No! No! No! No!!!

Is this what i think it is...

'Am i paralyzed'.

Oh! No!

What about my life, Is this how it ends. Being a burden for every one around me. For mom and dad. How can i live like this. No this is not possible.

I clenched my fist.

Oh!

I raised my hand. Oh i can move my hand.

The why can't i rotate my neck.

May be it is a temporary issue. It might be okay.

Now, first of all,

What the hell is this situation. I am lying in some random place.

What is this place.

I can see now clearly. It seems like a roof, made of wood or something. So i really am in some random cabin, huh!

Then suddenly a shadow came blocking the light source. I shifted my gaze into the shape blocking the light. He looked like an old guy. Like sixty years or something old. He stood beside me and looked at me with an expression looking like surprise?

I don't know.

Then he turned around and shouted something.

The another figure came rushing.

She looked like an old lady.

Wow!

A lady like her can move like this even in the old age. Who are these people. What are they doing with me.

The old lady looked at me with a warm look. Suddenly she placed her hands under me and scooped me up.

Oh! No! No! No!

What the...!

I really am losing it. Aren't i?
