Chapter 8 - 8. After the dark

Last two days felt like decade to kai. He walked inside his house, biting off his nails, thinking what just happened what is going to happen what did he done to things like this to happen . His mom come to house time to time, delivering food and all, sometimes he even begged to his mother for answers but she just ignored him as an object. He even tried to take a peek outside and caught by his mom

In the end of the last day, he even tried to sleep early to get over the day and failed miserably .At that night He didn't even closed his eyes for a second.

He started to get nervous minute by minute

Finally the new day came and he rushed out of his room to get out the house, stopped by his mother who is holding a carry bag .

He asked with an angry face

" mother.. what now!"

"Its nothing... Just you and your friends are going to intercity school"

She said with an unbothered expression

And kai fell to his knees

Water drops rolled down on his ghostly white cheeks

He asked...

"Mother... I need answers....!

What is going on..

Please.... please let me know.. I'm begging you

Please...."

However she turned around and started to move but he called her with a scream.

"Mother... you promised to me . you promised! "

She stopped moving and stayed still,not showing him her face

After a few seconds she turned around with a red and wet eye running back to him... Hugging him tightly saying

"i am sorry.. so sorry my dear kai... I can't hold this toughness any longer . Im tired of this."

She hold on to his shoulders with both hand and look directly at him. Her face almost covered with tears. as for him ... He looked pale, opened mouth and a expressionless face and pale eyes

She took a deep breath and said

" look..

I will no longer be with you..... Untill the time comes.so just remember, The things that happened last few days...None of that was your fault. our home is in grave danger

And everything happened because of the celestial migi"

As she mentioned the name of celestial migi , something started to take over, from her fingers and toe started to turn black

"And the thing that fallen from the sky is the seed . That's it , a promise is a promise and look's like our promise is fulfilled "

She took a look at her body which is almost turned dark and looked back at him and continued

"Looks like I don't have so much time left .

Kai.. "

she slowly called out

"My son

Always remember one thing kai...mother and father Loves you and always be with you...."

In the end kayal turned completely dark and fall to the floor

He stayed still not knowing what to do

He stared at his mother's motionless body but he didn't move

His eyes started to overflow but he still didn't move

A few minutes passed and he still stayed still

However Tommy entered his house from out of nowhere, walk pass the body and reach kai

Kai looked up to Tommy's face while Tommy did the same

"I thought this might happen "

Tommy said in a sad voice and hugged kai

Feeling some kind of protection inside Tommy's hand kai started to realise what happened in front of him

His eyes slowly closed, he started crying desperately and hugged Tommy

And they both stayed like that for a while

After a while they both sitting beside a dark body and kai asked to Tommy's while he looking at the body

" Uncle Tommy.. am i a murderer...?"

Tommy let a heavy breath spil out of his lips and said

" listen kai...

First of all your mother is not dead... yet!

Not yet..."

Kai's hart skipped a beat and he look back and forth at Tommy and his mother's motionless body and waited for the explanation to finish

Tommy continued

" As i said she is not dead but she is somewhat in a state of coma and she is not the first one to be like this .. so there is still hope

And to be honest i am forbidded to talk anything more than this

Do you still want to know more then you will know about it while your stay at your school.

Untill then... You know what to do right?

Time passed by

Lots of villagers came

Lilly also came and did some sacred rituals

He silently stayed at a corner of te room watching everything

Few villager bring a wooden box similiar to a coffin

And they laid down the body an closed the box.

kai looked the whole process with dead hart and a pale face. however when he looked at the wooden box he fond a small hole in the head area . His mom's hairs are visible trough the hole

He wondered why

Villagers picked up the wooden box and carry it to the village's sacred ground

Looking at the scene kai's eye widened

Fortunately kai approaches by tommy and lead him to follow the villager

After some time they find themselves in an open area with one huge tree but also there are lots of similar boxes placed there

There aren't too many but there are

Common thing about these boxes that every box have a tree near by its head part grown up to less than two metres and a single root rooted in to the box through the whole

Villagers placed the box near by the tree

Lilly went to the tree and picked up a flower from the tree and put it through the hole in the box and began chanting

At this time Kai was near by and waching whole things

At this time he some what cooled down

Few minutes later a small tree came out though the hole and started to grow rapidly

At the same time Lilly stoped chanting

People started to go back to their village one by one untill there is only few left

Tommy approached Kai and hold on to his shoulder and said

"She will be fine here... For now

Let's get back home
