(The scene shifted)
As they reached the room.The child opened the door for her.Anastia went inside.The room looked comfy and quite spacious.
The kid introduced herself:
"My name is Lily.This is your room and if you need anything you can call me.I will be here."
After that, kid left leaving her all alone.Anastia took a one last glance at everything.She slowly closed the door and flopped inside on the bed.She was tired and her body can't keep up with this twisted fate anymore.She closed her eyes allowing hersel to relax but she couldn't go to sleep because it was a new place for her .So,it takes time to settle in.She opened her eyelids with frustation and cursed herself:
"Why can't I go to sleep?."
She rubbed her hair but something happened to caught her attention , A journey lying on the table? .She lifted her head out of curiousty and saw the name of the journal.
"It happened to belong to Selena's"
A smirk came on her face.
"Finally something fun."
She jumped out of the bed and grabbed it .She whispered as she took a clear look:
"This journal shall give me answers about her."
She got herself in a comfortable position and began to read it .The pages were quite old and the words written were in italics.She read the first page,It felt more like a personal diary with mentioned dates.
Year:1920
The darkness surrounded me and I was left all alone.
To fight in a world where free will it didn't exist.
Thats what I thought...
Humans are so fragile aren't they?.
Just like a flower, do something out of nature.You will witness their destruction.
"It's maybe the core nature ?
We tend to live an illusion to feel safe.
So, the devil took the lead and made us believed..
If,
A blind person went in a market shouting,
"You all are cowards.Seek truth.
Everyone will think he crazy and shall beat him to the death.
We aren't brave enough to accept the it."
We continue in a loop and never accept,
Should I feel pity upon them or rage because of our stupidity."
I asked,
But,
Maybe I think too much?
Perhaps I should rest ..
Oh Pope close all the lights.Let the darkness sink.Let the truth come..
The page ended, Anastia tried to read more,the next page didn't have any content.She stopped and processed the words of Selena written in diary.She slowly closed it and realized,
"Maybe Selena has suffered alot."
As her thoughts got more deeper she could feel that
Pope ,Selena and Wandering soul have similarity in their rhythm and tone which led to one conclusion,
"They all suffered from something similar and are interwined with eachother.."
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted as someone knocked on the door.
It turns out to be Lily.She whispered from outside.
"Dinner is ready please come down Miss.Anastia."
Anastia responded,
"I am coming."
Lily left and Anastia have to stood up from bed for the dinner but before she left.She hid the journal below her pillow making sure no one is seeing.After that,she left the room.
After a few moments of her disappearnace the windows opened themselves and the lighting in the room started to flicker.
The room grew dark and the sound of someone typing on the typewriter was heard .Whispers were heard but no one was in the room,
"Secrets can't be secrets forever.You know!. :)"
(At the Dinner table.)
The table was empty except Anastia and Selena and that kid was standing at the corner and her gaze outside as if monitoring something?.
The woman face was still hidden by the veil but it was white in color this time.
Anastia upon noticing it recalled a memory t where the boy told her,
"White symbolize purity, dear Anastia."
She felt something in them,
Maybe a sense of similarity..She thought,
"What's Selena's relationship with him?"
She opened her mouth to ask:
"Aunt Selena, what's your relation with that boy?"
For a moment Selena stopped and her body was froze by sudden question but she quickley covered up and asked in return,
"Why are you so curious Anastia ,How about you tell me about yourself?."
Anastia respond came ferm anddemanding ,
"How about you tell me first?"
Lily and Selena were shocked . Selena eyes widened behind the veil as she recalled what Pope told about her in the letter.,
"A true rebel.."
Selena couldn't ignore her question anymore.She stood up and asked,
"Can you give me a moment dear Anastia.I have something to show you."
Before Anastia could reply she left urgently..
Anastia looked at her confused and thought
"Why did she leave so suddenly?
Maybe she has something for me..?"
