The Sunset

Chapter 13 : Path

His (1) POV :

Am I going mad? What is happening to everybody? Two lives are in danger. Still, no one is moving an inch. Does life has no meaning, or is there something I don't know or understand? What did the girl mean? Why was the man who freed us not rescuing the elders? I was sure that he knew I wouldn't make it in time.

I felt so helpless. Why am I a failure? Why couldn't anything go in my way?

Even though I haven't known these people for long, they meant something to me. Everything which means to me is slowly fading away. I felt sad. But more than that, I felt angry.

Angry towards my community who abandoned me for something that was not my fault, towards the elders who dragged me into this, towards my father, who left me for no reason. For the first time, I felt that I was damaged, lived my life in the past because I didn't have a closure in my childhood.

I turned my gaze towards the unknown man who rescued us, now watching two of them die without any emotion. I was late, again. The elders were nowhere to be seen now. They were gone for forever. The girl was still standing at the same spot where I left her.

I turned to the man. I was fuming with anger. "Why, why did you do nothing? Why did you set them free one time and let them die the next moment? What are you trying to do?" I asked him. he still looked emotionless-that added fuel to my anger.

" Because that was the most beautiful scene I have ever seen," he said like he was mesmerized by something beautiful in front of him.

I don't know what came over me. I reached for the nearest rock beside me in the ground and smashed his head. He looked as if he had expected it. That amused me.

I was never a violent person. But everything was changing. So why couldn't I?

I smashed and smashed until I cracked open his skull. He fell to the ground lifeless. His eyes were open. It didn't have a horrified look as I expected, they were filled with satisfaction.

I could hear people coming towards our direction. I felt nothing even though I knew what was coming. The girl looked like that as well. What was the use of all this? It started, and it is going to end with our deaths.

It was like path with the same destination whichever path you may choose. The distance you travelled or what you have endured is supposed to be irrelevant. But for me, I realized to live a life for myself. I am sure the girl also felt the same.

We just simply stood there, waiting for them to approach us...
