Chereads / NEGHENTROPIA / Chapter 3 - Act 3

Chapter 3 - Act 3

Returning by the way to the Lyceum, she feels a little tired, sits on the ground and looks at the rubble. Slowly she recalls all the moments of Lia; she also begins to feel the feelings, emotions, disturbances, trepidations that Lia felt. Feelings denied too. She finally manages to cry like she used to. She cries for a long time for her newly lost mother and thinks she couldn't do anything to save her. She rediscovers her love for Lia, who is now more alive than ever. She then decides to do the impossible: to bring Lia back to life, she just needs to give her heart back to its original owner.By now, she runs to the cemetery to unearth Lia's coffin. She opens it and remains motionless to look at it. Sofia knows very well that she has changed and fears that Lia will no longer recognize her, but she is determined to bring her love back to life. She tries everything, puts both hands on his chest, tears it open and tries to grab the heart given to her by Lia to put it back inside her body. She is afraid of dying, but her love pushes her to continue. Eventually she succeeds and discovers that she is still alive.Once the wounds are closed, Lia opens her eyes again. Look at Sofia. Now she fears that she has made an unprecedented mistake, maybe now she will have to die. Has already cheated death once. In fact she feels weak, she feels has also lost her powers. But she doesn't care, now Lia is alive. Lia cries and exclaims:

"Sofia ... but what? What is happening?"I gave you back your life Lia!"

"Life ?! What are You..." Lia then senses that Sofia has obtained not only the heart but also the powers."Why ... why did you bring me back to life? You were selfish!" Lia exclaims furiously.

"Selfish me? You should thank me!" Sofia retorts.

"Admit it, you only resurrected me because you like me! True? You played with your life and abandoned who knows how many people besides Eva just to have me with you! Remember that you are not God ..."

"You! It was you who first stole me from death! I don't know what you are, you can also be the Devil as far as I'm concerned!"

"I saved you ... I was wrong it's true."

"Maybe the deaths of all those living beings are your fault!".

Both cry, Sofia kneels. They still look each other in the eye.

"What will happen to us now?" Asks Sofia.

"I don't know. For now we are alive, this is enough. What we have done must not happen again. We must no longer interfere with the lives of others."

"What do you mean?"

"Since I was a child I have had constant dreams where I saved the lives of animals or people. I did not save them directly but ... in short, it is as if I started a domino effect. I later discovered that I really saved it for them. Then the nightmares began. In nightmares an undefined figure would take the life of the same number of living beings that I had saved. This is not a gift you understand?! It's a curse! Promise Sofia to never use such a power again for any reason! "

Sofia smiles at her, hugs her and says: "I promise you".

5 years pass. Sofia and Lia now live in a new house together, in Milan. They totally changed their lives. Of those strange shadows, disappearances, we no longer hear about. Everything is now back to normal. In these new days Sofia together with her girlfriend has opened a place that she named "Eva" in honor of her mother and is considering going to live with her. Instead Lia teaches music in a convent. The only time Lia and Sofia talk to each other is during dinner. Their friendship matured. They will never forget their past but now they live in the present.
