California, it was not a town. It was a sprawling canvas town, a seething mess of tents and wagons crowding the bank of the Colorado River. It was a town of charming, beautiful, and also a lot of mystery. People of divine California lived in quarantine because of Influenza (H2N2 Virus) in 1957. This Virus emerged in East Asia, Hang Kong, and coastal cities in the Unities States. On the other hand, the people of California couldn't breathe properly, and most were choked by the Jingle Queen and Mr. Robert. A lot of people dead by their hands.

Independence day:

On an ordinary day, Birds were chirping in the shiny morning; the river was flowing at its own pace. On 4 June 1957, the student's president Elizabeth walked on the sidewalk and prepared his speech for Independence Day in California High School. The ceremony was only for the senior students and the honorable teachers. Also, other people watched on Television. Everyone was wearing a face mask and also well-dressed. Besides, the volunteer worked to maintain the distance between the parents for their sitting place. Elizabeth, Alex, Maeve, William, and their other friends were present in the ritual.

The ceremony started with National Anthem. After the anthem, the host of the Ceremony, Mr. Kev, came on the stage. The honorable and students' favorite teacher, Mr. Kev, looked at everyone and said, "Dear parents, teachers, and our students, thanks for coming today. This ceremony shows respect to our people who died of Flu and protect our children from Jingle Oueen. " Kev took a long breath and requested to come here to student president Elizabeth to deliver her speech.

Pretty Elizabeth came on the stage. Elizabeth tried to overcome her nervousness and briefly said:

" O, my drop-dead gorgeous

California, California, California

The beautiful creature in Heaven.

No more secrets, No more mum, No more lies

Those go to our Hell.

To protect sinners in our hands.

Toast to our last men."

Everyone became amazed and applauded his consciousness poem. Mr. Kev came on the stage and appreciated, "Thank you for your lovely poem, Elizabeth. Now, request to come here Vice president's cheerful William."

William came on the stage and requested everyone to stand up and repeat what he said,

" Defeat, my Defeat, my self-knowledge, and my defiance, Through you I know that I am yet young and swift of foot.

And not to be trapped by withering laurels.

And in you, I have found aloneness

And the joy of being shunned and scorned.

Defeat, my Defeat, my deathless courage,

You and I shall laugh together with the storm,

And together we shall dig graves for all that die in us,

And we shall stand in the sun with a will,

And we shall be dangerous."( KAHLIL GIBRAN)

William loudly said, "This poem is for your guys, my dear friend, and respectful parents. Be safe and stay home for the pandemic."

After the ceremony, William, and Maeve walked holding their hands, and this also happened with Alex and Elizabeth.

Maeve looked down and said: Who is the Jingle Queen? Why did she kill those kids and leave some of them? And why they can't remember anything after coming from there? Why?

William smiled and whispered: I think It's your twin sister. When she saw the familiar kids with my face, and immediately killed those kids for their faces. Those who ain't familiar with my face, they release and come back home safely. Like you. Always wanna kill me every step but couldn't.

Everyone was laughing for a moment, and Maeve slapped William's hand continuously

William: Just kidding .please please stop.

Elizabeth: Stop, guys. Take this seriously.

Alex: Yes, We should try to figure out this bloody Queen.

Suddenly, a thin boy with dirty cloth came in front of us and said without oddity, "Almost all of my friends played this Jingle game. I know this is addicting gaming. People were out of their minds when they started to play. It is one kind of "True and Dare" game. Those who came back are unable to say what happened there. I think that Jingle Queen gave some candy that helps to forget everything in that place. I wanted to play this game, but my mom never allowed me to play the Jingle game.

After listening to this, everyone decided to go to the "Cup & Coffee" restaurant with the boy. It was opened only for Independence Day. This restaurant was in the middle and heart of the town.

Elizabeth: What is your name? Tell me about yourself.

Boy: I am Jonas. I am eight years old. I read in California Primary School. After school, I worked for a contractor to bear my family. Also, I have no father or have never seen him. Cause he never came to see my sick mom and me, she never told me about him.

Maeve: What happened with your mom??

Jonas waited for a moment and said: She suffers from brain cancer.

Maeve: Oo, sorry.

Alex whispered and silently told his story: I also never see my father and also my mother. I passed my childhood and grew up on Merry Sister Committee. At 13, an old woman, Helena, adopted me and supported me. She was everything in my world. This year, she died from Flu (H2N2 Virus) almost two months ago. I couldn't see her last face for the rules. I lost everything after her death and lived alone.

Elizabeth: O my dear Alex, You are not alone. We are here for you. Come, my love.

And also, she started to tell her own story.

I have four members in my family. My papa is a journalist, and he almost lived in his office for his work. My mother is a news reporter. My sister didn't live with us. She resided in Merry Sister Committee because she became mad after her break-up and her abortion. And also, she died of bloody FLU.

William raised his voice and said: Guys, stop. It's not time to listen to your sad life story. It's time to go to Jonas's house and visit his mom.

Maeve: let's go, Pals. Wait a minute and smiled, asked Jonas, "Are you bringing us to your home?"

Jonas: Yes. Come with me.

Everyone seems happy and follows Jonas. After a few minutes, everyone came in front of a beautiful hunt nearby Venice Canal, and that was Jonas's house.

William: Who gave this hut?? How beautiful the scenery is! In the future, I'll live with Jonas and her mom. Decided.

Maeve hugged his hand tightly and smiled: What will happen to me?

Everyone was laughing.

Jonas: O, my mom only told me this. This house gave by my anonymous father. Come to my house. Mom, "I am coming back."

Elena (his mom): "Why are you so late?? I am worried about you", said and came out of the room.

Everyone surprised. Still, she looks gorgeous after all cancer.

Jonas: Start to introduce everyone. But, at the time Elizabeth,

Elena was shocked and briefed: Eli! Eli!

Elizabeth: How do you know my nickname? My papa called me this name.

Elena controlled herself and smiled: I had a sister in your name. She died from an unexpected accident in my childhood.

Elizabeth: Extremely sorry.

Jonas: You never tell me about your Sister.

Elena: Long story, my boy. You, guys, seem too hungry. Let me bring some sneaks and tea for you.

Elizabeth followed her and helped her with her work. Everyone takes their meal and leaves the house at noon, after dinner.

They walked near the canal.

Elizabeth: Guys, while I was helping Mrs. Elena. She whispered "Eli" several times beside me. Why?

William: I think she loved her sister very much.

Alex: Perhaps

Everyone reached their own house. Eli father

David: Why are you so late? 'My little's Creature.' I was worried about you.

Eli: I passed the brutal schedule today.

Then she went to her house and closed the door.

Mr. David and his wife, Mrs. Marry, loudly said: Today, your poem was just mind-blowing.

Eli loudly said: Thanks a lot.

Day after tomorrow, everyone gathered

at Maeve's house, including Jonas. Because Elizabeth called for a meeting.

Elizabeth: Guys, I have a big plan. Jonas, listen to my word carefully. Today night, you need to go with your friends to play the Jingle game and see their Queen. Don't tell anyone. We just need information about what happened there.

Jonas: Ok, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth came near him and put her hand on his head: Be careful. Act like a professional. Watch some movies before you go there.

After a day, everyone gotta wait for the latest information in the morning. Everyone was waiting in Maeve's house. Suddenly Jonas came.

Jonas seems upset and nervous: After eating their candy, I can't remember anything. That I previously told you about.

Alex: Oh my God! We know this before. How we can forget this?

Jonas: But peeps, I remember one thing.

Elizabeth: What??

Jonas: There was a Woman with a weird dress-up; I think she was the Jingle Queen and a man with a black hoodie and a giant mask.

William: A man! It's just ridiculous.

Jonas: Yes, A man with blue eyes.

Then, Jonas scratched a picture of the Jingle Queen and Blue eyed-man. Alex and Elizabeth took this picture and went to their favorite FBI agent Mr. George. William and Maeve took him to the Doctor to check his health to find suspicious things.

Doctor: In his body, I find a drug which compared with Devil Breathe. Nowadays, it is found in almost every kid. It is used for hypnotized.

Maeve was surprised: What the hell! Seriously!!

William: Can you give any kind of anti-drop for this Devil Breathe.

Doctor: I have. But I can't give this in your hand. It's bitter medicine, and it also has a harmful effect.

William brought some money from his pocket and gave the Doctor.

Doctor: Ooo, no need but take the money. He hung over the medicine and said to use it carefully.

Maeve said, "Jonas, take this, before you will go there, you must take this medicine."

Then Elizabeth and Alex came from Mr. George. He advised them not to enter up a young kid for this. It'll risk his life. They didn't give importance to his word. Because they knew that Jonas had the confidence to help figure out the case.

Elizabeth: Jonas. I am bringing a gift for you.

Jonas: Wow! What gift?

Elizabeth: Yes! my little boy. Bring a camera from his back.

Jonas: Thank you so much.

Give a firm hug.

This scenery seems like a brother hugging an elder sister.

Elizabeth: ok! Ok! Be careful.

The following day, everyone was waiting for Jonas. But Jonas didn't come. They thought he was tired for the night. Day after tomorrow, they gathered, but Jonas didn't come this morning. Hence, they decided that they would go to his house to see him at noon. As planned, they came to his house and knocked on the door. Elena opened it, saw them and started shouting.

Elena cried loudly: You are all monsters. I lost my last resource of life, my child, for you. Get out from my eyes. Maeve tried to control her. But she became angry.

Then, they left the house with shame and guilt.

When they were walking, they didn't talk to each other. They felt guilty for their work and echoed the exact words in their ears that Mr. George advised them. They felt an uncouth pain in their heart, but they couldn't figure it out. Then Alex's whispered:

In this town, there was another, " Wretched mom lost her angel."
