Who called Alicia was none other than her Mom, Xera. Along with Fin, the couple, naked, walked towards their lovely daughter. The shame was not inside their mind anymore.
Their eyes tearing, the old couple bent down to give Alicia a worried tight hug. Relief overthrew the distress and anxiety that had ruled over their mind.
"We are so glad to see that you are alive, honey."
They were only given half an hour to bathe. After that, they will need to go back to their respective rooms.
"Those at the back, get in the showers already!"
The newcomers do not know the terror of being outside at night. They took longer than the time given to them.
"Come, honey. We will continue talking tomorrow."
Fin prodded the two women in the showers. They washed along with strangers, people of the same age and different ages.
Their thirty minutes of taking a bath had ended. The same pair of rugs
they have been all that they wore.
