Chapter 3 - The Eternal Night: Ethan's Resolve

Then, when the villagers get tired of sleeping, they start to think that something is wrong. When they look at their wall clock, they start to understand what's happening. They think about what's going on, why the night isn't ending? They remember Victor's words and think that maybe Victor was telling the truth.

(Now everyone goes to their headman, and then a woman comes crying. She was a resident of their village. She was crying and saying "My son is missing, since last night. I have searched for him everywhere, but he is not found".)

Now the villagers and the headman were also very scared. He said "Call that boy, Victor". They thought that maybe Victor could tell them what was happening and how to get their child back.

: One of the villagers said "I saw Victor going into the jungle". Now the headman sent some people to the jungle and said "Find Victor and bring him back". Those people went into the jungle to search for Victor.

۔

: After a long time, they found Victor. They took Victor with them to go to the headman. Then Victor found something in the jungle. He goes closer to it and Victor sees a child's head. The villagers recognized it as the head of the same child who went missing last night. Victor became very frightened after seeing and hearing this.

They brought Victor and the child's head to the headman. The child's mother saw the head and started crying very loudly. She cried so much that she fainted. Then the people put her in a room. Now the headman asked Victor, "What should we do to save him?"

"Now nothing can be done," Victor said. The one who did this can only be killed by the sunlight. But now the sun is gone." Hearing this, the villagers became very frightened and fell into tension.

It had been a month since this started, and every day a child would go missing, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. Then, a handsome boy from the village, named Ethan, was getting angrier and angrier seeing all this. All his friends had died, and now only 4 children were left in the village.

Ethan called his 4 friends and said, "We shouldn't be afraid of this anymore. Now we have to do something for our dead friends." His friends were inspired by Ethan's words and gained courage. Seeing their enthusiasm, the village headman was also with the boys, but the villagers didn't like this.

Now the four friends head towards the jungle. Then, as soon as it strikes twelve, they hear a screaming voice coming from a corner of the jungle. They follow the sound of the voice.

They got tired of following the sound and stopped at a hill, saying "We should stop here now".

They all stopped and moved forward. Meanwhile, on the other side, all the villagers were scolding the village head, saying "Why did you let the children go there? You knew there were a lot of dangers there."

The village head said, "Every night, around 12 o'clock, a child goes missing. Let these children do something, who knows, they might do something that can save us from this."

The villagers also hardened their hearts and said, "This is the right thing to do. The children were going to die anyway, so let them die a martyr's death."

Ethan and his friends then meet Victor ahead. Victor had also come to the forest to help them. Ethan is overjoyed to meet Victor. And now they start to feel a little more confident that they are doing the right thing. 

Ethan and his friends approached a cave and it was screaming and terrified. Seeing this, Victor's group became more cautious.

As they entered the cave, the bats flew out, and from inside, a human voice echoed, "Help me, help me!" Hearing this, Ethan stepped forward.
