Evening did come a bit fast and Darcel sat in her room that was assigned to her, silently .
Her whole body was shaking not only because she was thinking about what was going to happen but also now her junior is alive and she knew her true identity.
She was happy that her junior was alive but at the same time she knew that this was a warning From the higher ups in order to keep her actions in check.
She stood up from the bed and went near the small fireplace that was distributing beautiful flames and warmth.
She stood there silently and watched the fire that burned the logs elegantly, her eyes were dark and didn't move from the side of the escalating flame reminding her of the old days.
"Dad,I am feeling cold."said a pretty looking child with brown hair standing near an old fireplace, her tiny arms wrapped around her little body in order to protect her body from shivering.
"Only a few more minutes, baby." Said a man with a gentle smile around his face and he quickly arranged the woods inside the hollow to ignite the fire.
After some time, the fire broke out starting from little smoke and slowly burned bright.
"Dad, Why is our house located far away from the other houses and located in this forest?" Asked a young Darcel who was too innocent to know anything .
Listening to this her father slowly rose up and turned towards the young girl who stood there silently with hope filled in her eyes and warmth conjured in her face.
"Don't you like to live in the forest where you can play whenever you want."said her father with a smile on his face he bent down to where the girl stood.
"No, I like it but most of the time ,I am alone and nobody comes here and plays with me and rather they run away seeing me or beat me." Said the girl slightly bending her head down .
Her eyes were filled with moisture, and the earlier warm look dissolved into a saddened expression, with her lips pulled down in a curl.
"Did something happen today?" Said the man, noticing his child eyes, and look .Though, he was mostly away from the house to earn a living he was very careful about her and loved her dearly.
"Yes, I went to the village today, and upon seeing me some girls ran to their houses ,and some senior boys threw stones at me, calling me a monster."said she without bringing her head up.
"I told you not to go there ." Said her father with a worried look on his face and upon seeing her getting more sad he sighed and said,"Baby, you are special you know and not a monster and they are not eligible to play with you and understand you."
Darcel now lifted her head hearing this , and a slight hope was formed in her eyes.
"It's just that you have to learn to control a bit of your power and then nobody will call you a monster but remember don't give up yourself for others, it's not worth it." Said her father, taking her in his strong arms.
Darcel held his shoulder tightly not wanting to let go .Although, she was young but she could understand the depth if her father's words and she asked
''Will there be a time when someone will become my friend and care for me as you do?" She wrapped her hands more tightly.
For Darcel, her father meant the world for her but, her father even though not letting her mix freely always assured her that one day ,she will find friends and someone who will truly care for her.
"Sure you will find your share of friendship but until then don't give up hope, and listen to some rubbish " said his father bringing her near the fire and putting the girl in his lap, caressing her hairs.
"Dad, you will be there for me, right ?" Asked she, not wanting to forgo her father because of new friends.
Her father's eyes became a bit sad but he silently nodded and the little girl excitedly smiled at him.
"Never be afraid of anything and burn strong like this fire even in the darkest place. " said he while putting her down and holding her tiny hands in his. To which she nodded.
Darcel's eyes hold a bit of moisture and two drops from that pool dropped down her chin remembering this when suddenly she heard .
"Knock","knock" raging from the outside of the door.
"Mr.Darcel, it's time for you to go." Said a male voice outside from the door.
Darcel quickly gained back her senses and rubbed her eyes which soon became cold as if no emotion flowed inside them.
She noticed the water drop paced in a white proclaim rose up and had splattered from the digit seven and .
This was the clock to determine time and Darcel looked at it for some seconds as if an important hour had come and even seconds are necessary now.
"I will be there. " she said, and walked towards the door to open it ,when her eyes fell around the fireplace which was burning .
"I will complete my work ,no matter what it takes. " she murmured as her look slowly turned from the fireplace to the door and she opened it.
The guard showed her the way and she walked with him to her destination where one more test lies ahead and one more challenge she has to overcome which might take her closer to her destination.
Before coming here she knew that she might lose her life but that didn't stop her from coming here and completing the purpose of her life.
"What lies ahead we will see."thought she and a fever came to her bright yet cold eyes.
