The Crawford's Multiverse Of Madness Cont'd

Chapter 194 - No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

"Huff, Huff, Huff,"

"Huff, Huff, Huff,"

A family of three could be seen running through the streets of New Delhi, India.

Samara, Kinzi, and Manad were initially a regular family that made their earnings through touring the states with dance groups from India.

Kinzi had always been a cheerful girl, Samara a loyal wife, and Manad a responsible father.

They were normal people, who lived normal lives doing what they loved, but all of that changed after a particular concert.

Something strange started to occur after the last concert with The Ascending Gods Band.

Multi-Colored flames flew onto the stage, but as professionals, they continued to dance and soon the flames comforted and nursed them.

They still recalled the feeling, it was ethereal and beyond anything worldly.

But they could not imagine the consequences that would come about from being bathed by such flames.

Manad had a weak heart since he was a boy, but recently he found his body improving in all aspects: physically, mentally, and spiritually.

He found that he could feel what others felt, and even make them a bit happier when they were sad.

Manad's wife, Samara, had also noticed the improvements to her body and mind.

She also found herself more sensitive to the emotions of others, but unlike her husband, Samara found she could draw energy from the emotions of others and turn them into the symbols they represented.

She could pull a butterfly from her husband's intense love for their family.

Her husband literally had 'butterflies in his stomach'. She could also pull a clown from the nightmares of her daughter.

This was not the issue, the issue came when their daughter, Kinzi, accidentally used her ability at the nearby Post Office.

At first, they were frightened when the multi-colored flames lit up Kinzi's skin, but soon they knew the situation had become dire.

They had been running ever since.

It has been about 2 weeks and this time the couple knew that they would not be able to escape the impending tragedy.

"You girls go ahead," Manad encouraged as he stopped.

As the man of the family, he had to make sure that the women were taken care of. Traditions, though antiquated, still held important value to some.

"No, No, we can ..." Samara tried to say but Manad was quick to shoot her down.

"Shut up woman! You have a responsibility to our daughter. Be the amazing woman I know you are and run!" Manad yelled ferociously and started yelling, drawing their pursuers in another direction entirely.

"Let's go, honey," Samara said consoling her daughter.

How could Kinzi not see the pain in her mother's eyes?

"But father," Kinzi said with pain on her face as she watched her father running in another direction.

"I said we GO!" Samara yelled pulling Kinzi along forcefully.

A few minutes later...

*Boom*

*Boom*

Samara continued to run forward, not minding the noise of guaranteed death that had enveloped her husband.
