Sila felt darkness all around her.
She couldn't make out where she was. She could only remember she was standing in front of the paintings' room.
She didn't understand how she reached this darkroom.
She tried to find a way to get out of the room.
But she can't get a hold of anything.
She felt she was stuck in a black hole.
Suddenly she heard someone crying.
Suddenly a light entered the room and Sila was able examine her surroundings.
Yeah, she was right; it was a kid who was crying.
She saw that there were 3 dead bodies near him.Foul smell was coming from the dead bodies as the bodies started decaying.
But Sila couldnot feel any disgust.
Her all attention was towards the little kid.
He was crawling near the bodies murmuring something.
It seems like they were his family.
He was shaking the bodies crying out loud as if to wake them up.
"Maaaa"
"Paaaaaa"
"Brooooo"
"Please wake up"
"Don't leave me alone with these devils"
"I am scared, maa"
"They were saying to burn me tomorrow"
"Paa, Bro, you told me you will be with me always even if I am satan"
"Then why have you left me now?Whyyy????"
She felt her heart tighten when she heard the little kid's relentless cries.
The kid was only five or six years old. But he had to face something horrible in such a young age.
In his age, he should playing and laughing without any worries but all she could see in his eyes were darkness- a darkness that could devour anyone alive.
But she was unaffected by that darkness cause she knew that that darkness was forced on him.
From his words, she understood that someone wanted him dead.
He was talking about being burned.
They might have killed his family.
Who might be that cruel to do such a thing to this little kid?
She squatted down near him.She could now see him more clearly.
He had thick black hair that was falling over his face.
His whole body was filled with wounds, whipmarks and burns
He was smeared in blood. She felt sad. She wanted to console him. She wanted to hug him and say that he isn't alone.
She wanted to save him. She felt like she wanted him to have happiness again.
She didn't realise tears falling down her cheeks as she put her hand forward to hug him.
But her hands went through his body.
'What the heck!What happened to my hands?'
She again tried to touch him.
She tried to call him to know whether he acknowledges her presence.
But he wasn't aware of her presence.
He wasn't feeling her touch nor could he hear her voice.
'Whattt!!!! Did I die? Have I become a ghost?'
