Everyone present in the basement screamed due to loud bang noises of gunshots.
-Mama, what's happening? What is that sound? I'm scared.
Luka said tightening his grip on Luna's arm.
-Don't be scared. I'm here.
She tried looking for what might be happening when she met his eyes glaring at her. She got scared as those eyes were like blazing fire. He looked at them from the staircase and then he left with his men.
Everyone was too scared to utter a single word. She got up and was getting ready to go upstairs to see what happened when Luka stopped her and looked at her with the look "don't go there, it's dangerous" on his face. She smiled at him, with the look "don't worry, I'll be okay" on her. She went up ahead.
The moment she set foot on upstairs, she felt cold breeze as if something disastrous went by here. She got more shocked to see what she absolutely wasn't ready to see. She saw two dead bodies, shot on the head; single strike; eyes wide open. And those bodies were none other than Mathew and Roy. She couldn't stand straight on the ground. She let her body fell on the ground. She sat on the ground eyes wide open. After a while she pulled herself together. She closed their eyes and put a blanket on them so that others don't get scared. She went downstairs and Luka ran towards her hugging her tightly.
-Mama what happened?
-Nothing. Nothing happened.
One of the victims said to her.
-If nothing happened then why do you look even paler than before?
-What? I'm feeling just fine and nothing's wrong with me.
She wasn't telling the whole truth and almost everyone there seemed to understand that but they didn't want to talk on this matter anymore.
She was already very much weak from all that blood loss, and then she didn't had a proper meal in these four days and now this incident which had quite an effect on her strength which she, herself also knew it. She was getting wary quickly no matter how much she takes rest. And also her vision and mind was getting a sudden blurriness. She was straining herself to stand straight. Because she knew if she fell then no one would be here to protect Luka.
She was out in the world of her own thoughts when they all heard again the same sound they heard a while ago. The same sound of rampage. Heavy military boots banging on the ground above them in sync as if they were all moving together like a one person. As time passes the banging sounds of boots on the ground got closer to them. They were started to get scared since they thought that, that person might have come again to kill them just as he killed them mercilessly.
As soon as a person appeared on the staircase visible to them, they started to scream and plead, "Please don't kill us. Please spare us." Some of them started to even cry out of fear. But they all got silent and relaxed after seeing the person.
