Eva!! Where are you, !!? Where are you!!? Please say something!!" I cried my heart out loud in the wide expanse of the giant castle, running through one corridor to the other, down through every stair.
From the entry gate to the walls, from the giant windows to the beautifully crafted windows, everything was made of gold. But even that precious gold was not able to hide its lifelessness. That place was rotten. It had no aura of its own. Even all that gold here, it was nothing of beauty, it only reminded of something haunted. A golden cage!
My breathing increased, so as my steps, running from one corridor to the other, in search for her, her eyes, her voice, her anything.
As I took my third stairs downwards, my feet fumbled on the way, I suddenly tripped and rolled through them.
"Just where are you!? Eva!!? Please be safe! I am coming! I am coming!... Your brother will save you!!"
My misery was visible over my face. Tears flew through them like a stream, I tried to stop them by hand but they didn't stop.
As a few moments passed, as fast I regained my breadth, I quickly ran again down the stairs but suddenly-
I felt a huge tremor. The castle was shivering like an animal in the cold. Everything started to crack, everything. And at that moment, the floor beneath me broke and I started falling.
I landed.
Clumps of dust clouds emerged making it difficult for me to see anything in my view. It took a few moments until the dust calmed down, when I noticed some other person across the room.

The next moment, I saw my sister in front of me. Her hands were tied, her feet were tied and her eyes were covered by a piece of cloth. She was lying there unconscious.
I immediately rushed over to her.
I immediately took her in my hands and cleaned the dust over fine face with my hands. But as I took that eye cloth from her eyes.
I was terrified and shocked.
Her eyes were bleeding. As soon as I removed that cloth from her eyes. Her eyes were not there. Suddenly, a lot of blood was bleeding out of it. Then I realized the coldness of her, I don't wish to accept but she was dead.
I was met with agony.
My eyes started flooding with tears as the dragon's roar echoed in my ears.
And then the dream broke up.
"Fynnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!" As I opened my eyes, I saw Claire's face- white and soft as with a pinkish touch to them. She was using her hand to interfere with sunlight so it wouldn't fall over her.
She was looking at me with a surprised look. She was worried. A tear left me. Before I realized I was crying like wild.
I immediately covered my face with my left hand, to hide my tears which were extremely childish of me. As I know even a child would be able to decipher what I am doing without even asking me.
I wanted to get away, somewhere far for a momentary silence, for some solitude but getting up all by myself was too difficult and my voice was trembling too much to say anything. I tried and tried but the tears just won't stop.
Why can't I just forget it?
"There's no wrong in crying in front of others. It's not like Goddess Nyaxaria will haunt you with her nightmares." She teasingly said.
I had no words of reply or I had nothing to say about that so I remained silent.
She continued. "I don't know what has happened with you in the past but remember you always have an ear who will listen to you."
…
"Please don't see me like this... I don't want to… be vulnerable again, at least… not in this life." Words just won't come out of my mouth as if they were stuck in the tears.
A silence struck my ears! As if the world had silenced itself!
It wasn't that I was not hearing anything, it's simply that I got immersed in the past incident of my life!
My naked body….. Bathed in my own blood…. The Whipping sound made me scared… That room…. Death was there…. His smile scared me…. I will take my…
