After the explosion occurred the mall was reduced to rumbles and many top figures of the city died in this event. Meanwhile, the group of Edith waited for their rescue.
"Hey, we are here. Help us, my sister is hurt."Edith screamed at the person from the rescue team.
Among the students only few dozens of them survived. Edith confirmed the safety of his sister as she was handed to the medical team who were treating the injured.
When he came out he saw many reporters, ambulance, fire fighters, etc. Many people were crying a they couldn't find their loved ones some gave up their hope to find even bodies of their loved ones. While he was in his thought he heard few reporters, "The attack on mall in Gofniar city was very devastating there has been huge loss of life as well as property.....".
One hour later ~~
Same day two more sounds were heard in the city of Gofniar they sounded some bit like explosions.
While Edith was deducing what the sound could be ,he heard a reporter say,
"We have a big news according to our resources two same blasts were occurred in the cities adjacent to Gofniar named Sioux and Lagunam.
According to our sources the blasts were on much bigger scale than the blast in Gofniar. Almost eighty percent of the cities were reduced to nothing rendering rest of the city unfuctional. We don't know the culprit behind this attack. According to some government officials this is the work of terrorist group but we are not able to confirm this new as until now none of this organizations have taken the responsibility of this attack. We will report to you back as soon as we discover more information till then......….."
Edith was listening to this report while he was in the camps of the medical unit near his sister. After making sure that his sister wont wake up soon he went towards the site of the incident to find how many of his friends survived.
After reaching the site he asked few officials about the condition but all he got was some common information from them he inquired about his acquaintances. He came to know that most of his friends were either dead or missing, some of the surviving ones were missing a hand leg or eye. The team which stood at the peak sometime ago was demolished.
Edith felt someone approached near him he gazed at the person and found out the it was Selina.
"How many survived?",she asked.
"Not many. Few are in very bad situation", Edith answered.
"How is your sister? ",asked salina.
'She is fine",Edith answered.
Selina hesitated a bit but decided to ask " what about Riser?"
.
" there is no news about Riser we both saw he fell from a great height and chances of surviving from falling from that height are very slim moreover he was crushed be the concrete boulders which practically cut off all his surviving chances. He is dead for all I could say", Edith sighed at the end of the sentence.
Same time nobody noticed but silhouette of two people dashing in opposite direction one carrying a person while other seemed to have a hexagonal crystal in his hand.
"DAMN..!!!",shouted the person in his teens having white hair.
"Why was he here? DAMN IT…!!This was not supposed to be happen.", said the man in his 30's.
A week later~
After the incident the city was in uproar due to attack and many people were migrating in this city.
After the discharge of his little sister he came back home. Due to this incident his parents who were abroad came rushing towards this city. His mother was a Government official with high post and father was a successful businessman. His father donated huge sum of money to build up the fallen city and gained favors of many people.
He switched the channel of the T.V. to news and heard the report,"According to the statement released by the government officials this attack seemed to be the work of the terrorist and government are saying that they are not planning to let it go. They will take proper action on this incident as two cities Sioux and Lagunam were destroyed and Gofniar was almost destroyed. Due to destruction many people are migrating here and we expect......…"
As the news went on Edith was in his thoughts he recalled an incident five days ago when his mother returned he overheard her on the phone having conference in her room.
"We don't know what exactly happened. Such a weapon of mass destruction means only one thing that they are involved", said a voice which seemed to be of an aged man.
"Yeah in committee only we three know about their existence.", said a voice which seemed to be of an middle aged women.
"Well, as if that was not enough Mr.Gee is also dead.", said old man.
"If he is dead then its definitely not a terrorist attack.", said Edith's mother.
"Haah..(sighed)..!We were too careless as this was a well planned assassination. Well for now we will release the statement that it was a terrorist attack. And for the rest...…I hope 'they' would sort it out after all it was Gee who died" said the old man.
"Fair enough. Let's talk about the actions at the conference." Said middle aged women.
After recalling this conversation Edith was sure that there was something he didn't know or most of the people didn't know.
'I have to find out what they are talking about. It's not as simple as it is on the front. Government is concealing something and I have a feeling that it's not good. I am sure if this is the case, then the investigation reports are fake. Well let's think about it later I have to attend the funeral.'
On that day was the funeral of the people who died in the accident. People gathered there, Edith saw people crying some for their parents, children, elders, friends everybody was in sorrow. Later that day he saw Selina there. He approached her talked to her for few minutes and then went back. After praying he returned home late as there were many high level people like mayor, few celebrities and famous businessmen which included his father. He tried to get in touch with his parent but he failed, thinking they were busy he didn't called them again and then went to sleep.
"I will definitely find what's going on..", saying this darkness swallowed him as he submerged in sleep.
He didn't know but a pair of eyes were always on him.
'And here I thought I could keep you away from this dangerous world' said his mother.
Somewhere unknown(??)
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Pardon the rudeness of this foolish servant but this fickle minded won't be able to contain its foolish curiosity but ask what happened my Lord. For you to be so happy that you can't contain your laughter."
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I just went on the stroll and had a fortunate encounter"
Somewhere in the unknown dimension~
A man in his 30's and a youth with white hairs were sitting in front of a lifeless body of teen having black hair, well toned body and cold black eyes which seemed to lifeless now.
"Ernst, call everyone back.", said the man in his 30's to the white haired youth having blue eyes.
"Yes, sensei.", replied the youth.
Man in his 30's had a very angry look in his eyes. But suddenly, his eyes lit up for a moment after glancing at the pendent, but returned to their cold look.
"It's time to begin. Isn't it!", muttered the man so only he could hear it.
"Sensei, this...."said Ernst.
Soon silhouettes of around 7 people started to emerge.
"What's your command sire!!" said everyone in unison.
"It's a critical situation the snake is out of its den." Said the man in his 30's.
"Your orders master."
"I want everything you can collect on this incident in front of me in 48 hours. You have full liberty to do whatever you want I will handle the council if anything major happens. You are allowed to engage in combat for self-defense as well as offence, you have liberty to kill. Just let them know the consequences of messing with me Theodore Hunt." Said the man in his 30's.
"Yes sir" said the team and without a moment of delay the vanished.
Meanwhile in Selina's home.
"Are you okay dear?" asked Salina's mother with concern in her voice.
"Yes mom I am okay it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable that's all." replied Selina.
"Dear, do you think we should visit a psychiatrist and provide her with a psychotherapy." Asked Selina's mother to her father.
"Well, we will wait for few days as I came to know that the governor has appointed several doctors for providing mental relief to the young people who were victim to this attack besides even if we go for private we won't be able to appoint any top doctors as they would be recruited by the governor beforehand. " replied Selina's father.
'Why am I feeling so uneasy' thought Selina.
In Edith's home~
"Dear, Edith has probably sensed about 'it' " said Edith's mother.
"And here we thought we could keep our baby boy away from them. Can't be done anything now, and considering his attitude he would sure find out about it sooner or later. We can but just hope that he won't find himself in any dangerous situation." Said Edith's father.
