It was unreal.
It was unreal to believe that I was struck in a world, a different world that was not Earth but a world which was paralysed by darkness.
I have seen this in movies. Movies that sometimes didn't have a happy ending.
"I'm thrilled by all this," Conan said while we were sitting near the camp fire.
"You think I'm not?" I asked resting my cheek on my palm.
"Harvey I'm not being funny but I have a feeling that girl is human, I mean just her. Not the other two," Harvey point his eyes towards Silena who was walking into the woods. She walks into the woods atleast five times a day. I had a bad feeling about that.
"What makes you say that?" I laughed because that kind of felt absurd to me.
"You think a girl would go into this dark woods alone like five times a day?" He uttered. "A human girl."
"Funny right?" I grinned.
When i said that Conan was astonished like he just saw a ghost or maybe a alien.
"I'm sorry, I have to go," He didn't tell that to me probably. But the person who was standing behind me.
Silena.
"Wait," She shouted Conan's name while her eyes were red from anger.
No, from tears.
"If you think I'm not a human I'm okay with that. Because I know that different people have different opinions. Call it what you want. I don't know if girls on earth are not brave enough as me. Okay?" Tears were flowing from her eyes. "I came here when I was five years old. Do you even realize how little I was? Do you?" She didn't stop. Her rage was unstoppable at that point.
"I'm trying my best to get out of this hell searching for a chance to escape from here," She paused to hold her breath. Finally.
"I'm sorry," Conan confessed. I could see his guilt for one hundred percentage.
I was standing the whole time not knowing what to tell or what to do next. Conan and Silena were silent too. Silena was crying still then.
Conan made a move and gave her a hug. Fuck. It was just a friendly hug. But still some part of me was jealous. Maybe I should have made the first move and hugged her.
Shit.
"I'm sorry," He repeated while wiping the tears from her eyes.
I was fucking feeling like a third wheel. So I excused myself and went into the cottage and slammed the door.
I'm overreacting.
I spent the entire night thinking about what just happened. Sorry I'm not sure if was night or day. It was just dark.
I kind of liked Silena when I heard what she's been through at the age of five. I heard about it from Nicholas, her father.
When they both came here, one thing was common about them. Silena missed her mother. And Nicholas missed his wife. When they were trekking near the tree hole which led them into Cassandra planet, her mother was sick.
Nicholas told it was not worse. I sensed something was wrong in his expression. So I asked him to tell the truth. It was then he said that she was suffering from Leukaemia when they get caught here.
He said that he doubt if she's alive or not. Probably not. He smiled with a heavy heart. My eyes became teary.
He said that he was not strong enough when he came into this darkness. But that he tried his not to break down before his five year old daughter.
He said that a alien named Masho helped him all these years. He provided them shelter and food. I was confused when he said that because I was not sure how an alien could help him.
I was then he said that Cassandra was divided into two. I was curious what he meant by that. I asked him in what way it was divided.
He said that Cassandra's ruler belonged to the second type. I don't remember what his name was, he said something like Dora I think.
He said that Cassandra was divided into, one Earthling supporters and another Earthling eaters or haters.
