Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Under a cold night

It Hurts

! Painful!

My head hurts so badly...

She moaned in pain ~

The sound asleep of Luna, felt an abnormal throbbing pain in her head as though someone had ruthlessly delivered sharp blows on her head, with a baseball bat, she closed her eyes and fell unconscious.

Time Passed...

After few minutes...

She heard a large thud—thud sounds, tried to move around.

_Ouch_ her whole body is in pain because of the hard strikes she got, Luna's blood-drenched her long hair, and her appearance is in a sorrowful state and all over her body are filled with bruises, as she got beaten by someone ruthlessly.

On a cold night, under the thunderstorm.

The earth is shaking violently, as some earthquakes crossed over.

The small – small surrounded trees on the streets caught up with fire, because of big thunderbolts

And the rain torrents from the shattered sky.

As if the great five elements, called as Pancha Bhutas, (Prithvi, Apas, Agni, Vayu, and Akasha.) swaying with rage, what are these strange signs?

What is this jeopardy?

Luna remembers!

she once glanced into her father's research book. So recalling the sentences he wrote, when Pancha Bhutas behaves strangely it indicates that they are trying to say some peculiar things are happening.

"Ooh" she was amazed to recall something unusual at this unalike time.

Her father was parapsychology.

Parapsychology is the study of alleged psychic phenomena. For example, those related to a near-death experience, synchronicity, etc. Actually, this type of research almost never appears in mainstream scientific journals. Normally in the current time, this research has been criticized for continuing investigation despite being unable to provide solid evidence for the existence of any psychic phenomena.

Due to many reasons, Luna's father was doing this research in his private lab, because of this, he needs to travel more, here and there.

Author's Question:

Why did he choose this profession?

Don't hurry, we will find out in upcoming chapters..! *..*

From the moment Luna was born, he was rarely seen under the roof, he usually goes on trips and does more travel because of his research. But he won't miss the month end to reach home, He mostly spends his time with her to play, sing dance, etc. And in the meantime, he tries to educate her about the things he learned during research time. Unusually, this girl in seven understood every detail quite well.

Coming back to the thunder cold night:

Thundering sounds echoed the room

Argh…! Luna was scared to hear those sounds.

She slowly opened her eyes, it seems like searching for something, everything was dark.

This particular night appeared even darker than ever, the room filled with some fog as the temperature, keep on decreasing. The question was raised within herself. Why would I suddenly lie on the ground? And what was this excruciating pain in my head? and all over my body? why do i feel this chill?

Is heaters are not working at home..!

Where are my papa and mama? Usually they won't leave me alone in night times. Where they gone?

Ha-ha-ha..! she heard laughing sound.

She tried to widen her eyes open in order to see clearly, but she could only see a dim, blurry background, while moving her body, she found a cylindrical thing by her leg. She crawled down to reach out the thing, while stretching her hand.

She got a hold on it, grabbed that thing and turned its button on. A dim light flashed in the room, she put the torch on the side where she heard the sound and saw. Can't able to find anything.

She slowly turned her body in order to stand back on her legs, saw a glare of a pair of green eyes right in front of her, she lowered the torchlight with fear and shut her eyes tightly.

After a minute, taking deep breaths, she opened back to check whether those strange fiery eyes are still around.

In front of her, next to the window lightning flashed outside, brightly illuminating the room as if it were day, she squinted her eyes, it seemed like all her memories had turned to mush.

She started to see some strange faces who are watching her furiously and heard some whispering sounds surrounding her. Luna opened her eyes as much as she could, trying to figure out what was going on around her.

The loud noises made her head in a daze. Instead of suffering more, she shook her head and tried her best to focus in order to escape the darkness and confusion.

Finally, she saw human figures in their black outfits, with a no face mask on them, searching for something at her home. this unfamiliar environment made Luna a bit flustered. she rolled her eyes to the left, saw a woman lying on a blood floor, tried to reach her, but no hope to move her body,

She attempted to turn around, look up, sit up, however, she was completely unable to move her

limbs, as though she had lost control over her body. She heard a male voice, leave my family members alone, saves them, calls for an ambulance please, the man in the white shirt who is on his knees begging others, who sat on the couch, he can barely be kneed his legs. Luna saw through the pain he is in.

His legs are wounded with knife cuts, the blood was all over his brown pants, his body was trembling, and panic flashed all over his body.

But however without showing any mercy the man in a black outfit sliced the man's throat in a single shot. who kneed and pleaded for their family member lives.

His blood stains dropped all over on walls

Luna saw, the man choking.

Her heart was throbbing in pain, tried to scream, but the voice is inaudible, she screams in pain till her heart.

papa..!

papa..!

papa..!

She continued watching him without a blink.

She saw an apologetic look on the face of a man who is lying beside her. The man stretched and holds Luna's hand and tapped slowly. At that moment she doesn't know that it will be the last time to hold that warm hand.

She can barely hear a voice from her father, he said sorry ma, I failed to protect you, you need to take care of yourself from now on all alone.

Cough..! cough..!

(Coughing blood)

Don't give up on your life, pro-promise me you will be alive and ha-happy.

After conveying his last words, closed his eyes slowly.

A large and lustrous room filled with black smoke, wall hanging photo frames shattered on the ground, the indestructible well-built elephant pillars started to drift downstream, a dazzling dream world, filled with laughs instantly shuttered, Men, who broke into the house, rushing out, she doesn't know exactly what was happening, from the looks of it, she felt it is an adventurous mysterious dream, she was scared to continue this dream so just held her father's hands tightly as usual whenever she encounters this kind of (dangerous) dream, and closed her eyes tightly, and fell unconscious.
