Chapter 6 - Melancholic Nostalgia

    Milly lay on the floor looking at the ceiling,it had been 15 minutes and she hadn't  changed the environment. She was finally at peace,what she didn't know is that she was on her 'bed back at home'.Neil came into the room and Molly walked in behind him .Lara followed in a few seconds later. When they saw Milly on the bed ,they all ran at her.

            "We thought we lost you,"Lara said tearfully stretching out her hand to hold Milly who couldn't move well on the bed due to the injuries.When their hand came in contact they held each other tightly. suddenly the room was engulfed in ominous silence .When light came back she was in a mass grave holding Lara's hand .She was pale and lay there with a massive laceration on her shoulder and neck.At the opening of the grave,Aunt Gladys stood there with a spade pouring dirt on Milly and the other bodies no matter how loud she screamed.

     Molly then appeared behind her and pushed her into the grave. She fell onto Lara's body and crushed it ,she was really plump and heavy.Lara's corpse puked blood due to the heavy woman who fell directly onto her chest.

    "Milly hold my hand!"shouted Molly as she stretched out her hand to pull Milly out of the graveyard.Aunt Gladys whose neck had been dislocated by the fall snapped back to her senses and grabbed Molly's hand pulling her into the grave too.As she fell everything went dark .

      Opening her eyes ,Milly was at her childhood kindergarten class .She was sat at the second last seat at the back and she happily sang the alphabet.The teacher walked slowly to where she was and tapped her shoulder.The tap felt real and for a moment she thought she was back to reality and that all that was a bad dream.

       "Milly dear ,we are singing the numbers song ,not the alphabet song,"she said in a soft voice that brought Milly back to her senses.The whole class burst out into an uproarious laughter turning her red with embarrassment.Just then,her deskmate called her close and whispered in her ear ,

        "You're nothing but a dumb bitch!"he said in a sinister voice,the whole class cackled even more menacingly."Try to keep up or the wolves will get you!" As she turned around to answer him back she noticed that she was alone in the class.At the front of the class the teacher stood with two boys who knelt at the front heads faced down .

         "Milly honey ,you decide their fate ,"she said calmly smiling .Just as Milly opened her mouth to speak she interrupted, "before you speak I'll show you their faces," she said smiling.She held up one of the boys face to reveal Jake and the other one was obviously Luke ,the two boys who raped her on the mountain when she was 12. Seeing that she sat back down and said no word . Her teacher pulled down two ropes from the class ceiling and put them around the boys necks .Milly was still quiet ,she did not blink she just sat and watched as blood started flowing from her crotch.She didn't notice it.The teacher then pulled the ropes up and looked at Milly in the eyes as they watched the two boys kick as they fought for their life.She then released them and they fell to the ground gasping for air as she shouted in a deep rusty masculine voice."You hateful little girl,your heart is dark and rotten with hatred,perfect habitat". She screamed

   Just then Neil walked inside the classroom .The teacher kept quiet and stopped in her tracks.He looked at Milly. "Come ,we are going home,"he said smiling.Milly didn't argue she agreed and followed his father as he held her hand and led her outside.

       "You should not be self willed my darling,it kills modesty,"said Neil breaking the silence after they walked past the bathrooms.She looked up at her father and wanted to answer before he noticed his face was half bitten like a bun and  his skin was pale like that of a dead person. She quickly screamed and broke free from his grip running all the way to the bathroom.

       "You cant run far darling,you leave behind a trail of hatred and vengeance.Your blood lust burns bright even if you hide in the dark,"He said .

       "You are not my Dad ,stay away from me!" She said as she locked the bathroom door behind her and bolted it shut.

     "You reek of hatred ,I will catch you,I will dismember you piece by piece and I will take your dark twisted soul.I LOVE IT WHEN YOU RUN!"He shouted as he banged onto the door.She held the door so as to prevent evil Neil from breaking in.Just then she heard some sticky footsteps from inside one of the bathroom stalls .She was scared that she froze to that position.Aunty Gladys walked out of the bathroom barefooted as she left behind bloody footsteps."You left me to die on that mountain ,I hope you die!" She spat acidly before blindly running into one of the sinks ramming  into it ,smashing the mirror and collapsing into a pool of blood emanating from her head.

      Just then ,Evil Neil broke down the door and rushed in grabbing Milly by her foot and holding her up into the air .Aunty Gladys stood up bleeding and holding her arms she pulled her in the opposite direction.She could feel her spine detaching and that point she accepted death.

     "You wouldn't get far ,I told you that!" Said Evil Neil.Aunty Gladys laughed like a deranged maniac loudly as she pulled harder. Milly screamed as she could feel her knees and elbows start to crack out of their joints .This was a painful way to die."If only Molly was here ,she always knew what to do. "She thought to herself.

                        *******************

"I see bubbles !"Molly shouted as she stepped her whole body inside the bog .She grabbed a soft warm body and she was sure that was Milly. Hands held the body below the water and she had a struggle before she finally set her free.She pulled her out half dead and started walking carefully through the bog to join Samael and her mother who were at the other side of the river.

     Milly's body was covered in bruises, scratches,a deep neck laceration and her ribs were broken .As Molly carried her and placed her onto Samael's hands,she moaned in pain but didn't regain consciousness. She kept on yelling,"forgive me Aunty Gladys,I didn't mean for it to happen,I am not hateful,please don't break my back Dad ," She said all this while trying to break loose from invisible chains.

    Samael wrapped her in his chains and  placed her on the ground.He then asked the two women to go back to about 100 metres away from them .

"Don't come any closer no matter what since I can't save you when I commence the ritual ."

They couldn't say no since they all trusted him ,he had saved them twice already .They gradually took steps back as he continued to tell

them to move .As soon as they were far enough from the two he gave them a thumbs up.

      He took a deep breath and his eyes slowly grew pale. Milly started to scream in pain and Mrs McEwen's maternal instincts started to kick in. She asked samael if she was fine but he was silent.

She wanted to move closer to him but Molly held her back.

  "Mom remember the rules, don't go any closer "she said

    "But they're hurting Milly !" She said loudly . As she tried to walk closer she could see Samael slowly levitate in the air .Milly became stiff and she too levitated screaming louder. Mrs McEwen couldn't hold it in anymore she sprang in closer as Samael was about to finish the ritual .Both Milly and Samael dropped back down and the closest tree started to rip into two .

They were thrown back by a huge force and they landed at the far end .Milly bumped into Molly and her Mother and Samael wrapped his chain on a tree branch and regained his composure. He threw his chain towards the tree that was gradually being ripped apart by forces acting opposite to each other .

The chain glowed red hot as it burned through the tree and eventually stopped and everything went back to normal. He looked down at Mrs McEwen who lay on the ground and said angrily

"If it wasn't mere luck you would have been the one ripped in half ,I transferred the force on your daughter onto that tree ,I didn't know it was that powerful, you're merely lucky it didn't rip you in half"

    They then shifted their attention towards Milly who was relaxed but still unconscious. She was quickly rushed to the base since the councilmen definitely wanted to have a conversation with her .She was the only link they had with Molik's finding .
