Suddenly the room became dark. It's like the sun hid his face in fear. Reel looked around, it was dark. It's like it has become night. Night without moon and star. Complete darkness.
"Reo!" Reel called in fear.
Reo didn't reply.
Reel feels that Reo is not an ordinary person. But she can't believe it too.
"Reo! You here? Don't scare me? Reo…" Reel called again. But still no response from Reo. She moved around in the darkness and Reel accidently touched Reo's hand. Reo pushed her by saying Stay away and her palm burned.
"AHHHH!!!! What is happening?" Reel looked around in fear but it's like she became blind. Nothing can be seen. Her hand is hurting in the pain of burring. Suddenly she felt someone beside her. She looked and saw his eyes. She screamed in fear.
His eyes surprised her. The sparkling eyes! She stepped back in fear. She saw the sparkling eyes again. It was sparkling in the dark that was scary.
"No way! It's him. The sparkling eyes! He was that. I saw him! It wasn't a dream. It wasn't a dream! Was it Him? He saved me? Reel asked herself.
"I told you to take that away," Reo shouted louder, he was like a monster. His sound and the darkness made it like a horror movie. Reel got startled, the scare spread on her mind about him and the feeling of he is not a normal person spread the scary atmosphere.
"W—HO… WHO ARE YOU?" She asked in a scared voice.
"TAKE THAT AWAY!" Reo screamed, covering his face.
"What are you talking about I don't understand?" Reel said.
Reel suddenly looked at the chain in her hand and she asked herself, "Did He mean it? But why? Why is he afraid of this chain?"
"Damn, take that away! The red stone. I beg you to take that way. I can't tolerate it. It's burning. Damn it," Reo screamed in anger.
Reel just realized his body is burning because of the chain in her hand. He is having a hard time. That was so surprising for Reel.
"Okay! I will take it away. But first bring back light," Reel said.
"No I can't. I can't do it until you take that away," Reo said.
The red stone in the chain itself is nothing but when the sunlight touches it the red stone becomes the death stone. Yeah it's got some power that makes other creatures irritated and it has the ability to kill them. But the myth is it's not only because of the stone, it's because of the blood in that stone.
"How could I take it away? I can't see anything," Reel said.
Suddenly lots of fir fly come to her room. Reel got surprised about it. The room again lights up with the light from the firefly. The most beautiful scene ever. The magic spread there.
"Now take that away," Reo ordered in a calm voice.
"How could he? How did he do that? What exactly is he?" Reel said in mind while standing up and she took the box from the ground and put the chain inside it. The moment she closed the box the sunlight came back. It lights up the world. Reel looked around in surprise.
"Reo! You here? Are you okay?" Reel asked, looking towards the sofa in a worried voice.
Suddenly Reo stood up holding his heart. He is looking so pale.
"Reo! You okay?" Reel asked.
"Qiao!" He called and he walked a little towards her but he got unconscious and he fell down.
Reel was astonished after seeing that. She ran towards him and called him. But he is not waking up. She suddenly touched him but her hand burned again. It's like she touched a real fire. His body was still burning. Reel stood there for a minute and she was in shock. She doesn't know what to do. She became in panic and she suddenly ran around in confusion.
"What should I do? Should I call Li Chang? No I can't! I can't let Li Chang know about it. What should I do? He is buried!" She became tense as hell.
Suddenly she got an idea. She took the blanket and covered him and tried to make him stand up. Her hand burned again but this time she didn't care about it. She just helped him and made him walk towards the washroom and made him stand under the shower. The water fell from his head to feet. His body hurt like ice on a wound. It was so painful but the water made his body cold down and made him wake up from his unconscious state.
"Thanks to God, You okay?" Reel asked.
Reo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Reel. He couldn't control himself, and suddenly he hugged her tight. Both of them were drenched. Reel startled for a second because of his sudden action.
"Qiao, thank you," Reo said. Reo was really scared. From his words Reel can feel it. She didn't deny his hug. She patted his back and said, "It's okay… It's okay."
"How come the stranger and you become close? Oh! Reel, is it really you?" Reel's inner mind asked her.
"No. It's not. I'm just helping him. Nothing else," Reel replied to her inner mind.
"Reel, don't forget who you are. You are one of the b**ch who don't like love and men. You are cold with men except Orn and Li Chang. How your coldness broke for this stranger. Come to your sense stupid. Push him! Reel, do it. Push him away," her inner mind started to fight with her. But she doesn't know why she can't do that.
"Ah, Hmm, that… let's go inside. It's not good to stand in shower for long, we will catch cold," Reel said and she forcefully took his hand away and she ran to the room. Of course the awkward air broke down.
Reo just smiled. His smile is something strange. Something like some feelings in that smile. Suddenly the smile went dim and thoughts came to his mind.
"How come she has it? The red stone!" Reo asked, standing there.
Stay tuned…
