Chapter 13 - 13. Mountain day

After leaving silviya and her mother, I left that car near the next barricade. I got out of that car and started walking to the mountain. I can only hide in mountain now. No place is safe for me. The last intersection leads to four cities, and there were connecting roads as well. Now they have quite a big area to search. I might be safe for today.

I walked in the mountain ,alone. I took the roads covered with tree to avoaid drone or any flying camera .I tried my best to fool them but I know they will find me very soon. I am not trained to erase my trails .I am sure I have left some clues for them. Even though I left that car and phone opposite direction, it can't buy me that much time. Their manpower is huge. I have to figure out a way in the mean time.

I continuosly walked untill afternoon."It will be dark soon. I should find a place before it gets dark." I cleared a little place for me to stay. I can't set up a tent. I can't start a fire to heat up my meal as well. Smoke will be seen from far away and that will be no difference from throwing a signal rocket and telling them I am here. I have to eat cold food. I started eating canned cold food. As I ate ,I remembered all the delicious great food my mother made for me. I was crying and eating. Actually that was the first time I had the chance to cry properly. After eating, I laid down.I was exhusted, tired, completely drenched out. I looked at the sky. People say one can communicate with their decased beloved through star. Is mamma somewhere there?

"Mamma, can you see me? You, brother, all are selfish. You are partying with your son up there and here I am all alone. Mamma ,my friends collegues also died. The world sees me a psycopath, cold blooded murderer who can even kill her own mother. I also have a bounty on me.haa...haha..The whole country knows my name. Mamma you said I will make a name for myself. Here I did it. Haha...haha...I couldn't even mourn for you properly, give you a funeral. Brother died for nothing. He was not involved in this .He came to see his little sister and died. Mamma ,am I cursed? Why does everyone keep dying around me? Mamma, what should I do? Only if I could turn back time.. Mamma, I don't know how to get my revenge. They will catch me. I am a timid girl who always ran away from danger as far as possible. I can't survive. I am tired.I have been fighting all my life. When will this end? I spent my childhood decieving myself saying my father is best...after that I hated him...after that I ran away from him. Does anyone know how much this hurts? To every girl their father is a idol...but to me he was ...I even don't know what to say.Murderer? Yes. This hurts, mamma. I despised marrige, love because of him but I still got myself into one. I got my reward as well. Now I am the motherkiller. Not only my mother, but also the killer of all those people. Why I was even born? To depict the human tragedy? My life has become a movie, mamma. I have got pain, sufferings, betrayal ,defamtion, death of loved ones every single essence of a tragedy movie. I can't go on like this. My life is filled with darkness. I want light, mamma. I want to escape,mamma...where no one will find me.I no longer can fight with everything.. ...I am so sleepy. Mamma, I wanna sleep..I wanna escape....."

I hadn't slept for two days. I didn't care for anything any more. I only wanted to sleep.A sleep that can take me to a dreamworld where everything is happy.

Before I fall asleep I looked at my bag, where the cause everything lies. It was left alone. I suddenly remembered my history teacher in school.

"It is said that every remarkable treasure in the history is cursed. What do you think my students?"

At that time I thought it was just a superstition but now I know its true. It's very true...

I don't know how long I slept. If it hadn't rained I would have slept a little bit more. When I got up it was already past midnight. I had a long sleep. I stood up to take shelter. Then I saw some green dots on a tree. It was laser! I saw other green dots here and there. It was very clear , they reached here. It was raining heavily that's why they didn't saw me. Moreover cold water has cooled down my temperature. That's why they didn't saw me with infrared vision. There was lightning now and then. So night vision didn't work either. The rain saved me. I have to run now. But the only place I can go is up in the mountain. Damn it! Its a dead end .I will have nowhere to go once I reach top.What should I do? Why did I even fall asleep in the first place? Screw it! I have only this option.

I started running upwards. I was lucky that it was raining .So all those noises covered my foot step.It also washed away my footprints. But the mountain roads became very slippery. It was hard to run , I was running with a slow pace. I saw green lasers coming from forth, I turned back and started running. "They have surrounded the whole mountain. They reached here so soon. I should have thought of a escape root before falling asleep. All I did crying and that's not gonna help me now." I ran as fast as I could. Then I saw a cave.

"If I enter ,It will be a dead end. I can't enter here. Let's leave something here so that they think I am here. It will buy me some time." I left an empty bottle at the entrace and started running again. They did exactly as I predicted. I saw seven people went into the cave to find me. "Only seven people? Other's must be still looking for me.This can fool them for five minitues. Oh shit! I can't escape any longer." I started running again. It was a game of hunter and prey. I was the prey and they were hunting me. I could very well understand how those deer felt when they were chased by tiger. I was running alone aganist a flock of wolf ."God, help me. Show me a way, please." I tripped as soon as I stopped praying. When I tried to get up ,I slipped again. "I asked for help not....ahhh" I suddenly fell and started to roll down. I stopped on a mountain shelve. My lungs felt empty. After some seconds I got up. My bag fly off of my back. I searched for my bag. I found it nearly. I opened it to see if the brief case was fine. At that time a crazy idea came into my mind."Wh..what if I use the briefcase? Ah, no what nonsense are you thinking?We didn't even tested it once. There's no way you can use it." I zipped my bag and stood up. A sharp pain felt in my legs. "I might have twisted my ankle.Shit!" I looked for a place to sit and set my ankle. Then I saw a cave. "Why there are so many caves ? " I went there to see and found out that it was not a natural one. Maybe someone made it for fun. Anyway I should get inside and check myself.

I really twisted my ankle. It was swalloen. Theres nothing I can do. So I just sprayed some painkiller .When I checked I saw a big ,deep cut on my left arm. It needs to be stiched but I didn't have the time so I just put some gauze. When I was treating myself they came very near me. I heard someone talking .Maybe due rain the reception was bad thats why they had to shout.

"We found a cave , someone seems to be there."

I froze in my place. They found me. I have nowhere else to go now.
