"Help me! I need help!" Silana called out to the boy.
"Oh my god! Are you okay?!" The boy asked.
"I need to escape! I can't go back!"Silana sobbed before knocking unconscious in the boys arms. The boy hesitantly dragged Silana a few blocks to the East until they reached his doorstep.
Knock. Knock. The boy knocked on his door and his mom answered.
"Oh my god! What happened?!" The mother asked just like the son.
"That's exactly what I said!" He giggled. "-But I don't know what happened. This random girl came crying to me and then knocked out in my arms." He blasted in a worried tone.
"Come inside quickly." The mother rushed. They both carried Silana inside and into the basement. Both the son and mother set down the girl and chained her to a table. The mother set candles that surrounded Silana.
"What are you doing to her?" The boy questioned.
"Seeing if she carried bad spirits into my home."The mother whispered. "Saba cananalee jojojo beeleefa" The woman chanted.
All of a sudden the candles blew out. Black smoke started to spread through out the room.
"Get upstairs! Get upstairs boy!" The mother yelled at her son.
Both family members panted beside the closed basement door. Both with a blanch face. The son more then the mother. She knew something like this would happen one day. Her son would bring in some stranger and that stranger would be the spawn of a devil.
" That girl contains the spirit of Maynarrah. The blood god. We must keep her contained. Get the cage!" The mother ordered.
MEANWHILE WITH SILANA
"Where am I?! Am I in the cellar? Dad isn't here though. He doesn't chain me." She thought to herself. Silana pulled her arms up but they wouldn't budge.
"Let me out! Let me out!" She screamed. "Father no! Don't come near me. Stay away please, I didn't do anything please! I can't be here anymore! I don't want to see my parents! I don't want to be here!" Silana sobbed. " Let me out!"
"We can't leave her there, period. I don't care what she is. Do you hear her?! She's traumatized from her old home." The son persuaded.
"Fine. Let's go check on her." The mother responded. They both twisted the knob and walked down the steps. Creak. Crack. Creak.
"We are here to help you." The mother tried to help. "Where are you from?" She asked.
"Facility 2." Silana replied instantly.
"No. This girl couldn't be from Facility 2, it's so close by." The son whispered. "Is that what you have on your cheek?"
"My "dad"." She said.
"Get the medical kit." The mother instructed. The son instantly dashed to another room in the basement and came back with a lunchbox looking box. He handed it to the mother and she unzipped it. The woman then took some stuff out and set the box on a separate table. She pulled out a syringe just like my mom's needle. The woman then put juice in it and drew it near my arm.
"No! Don't put that thing near me! Your not my mom." Silana protested attempting to push her body further away. The chains were to tight and kept her in place. Nothing worked. All she could do was allow the mysterious needle to be injected into her blood stream. Whatever it was slowly made Silana become paralyzed. The mother unraveled the torn shirt sleeve on the girls face, revealing the words "liar" carved in her a cheek. Blood immediately started oozing out from the carved words.
"My pumpkin. My pumpkin. Carve you up. In a second. Pumpkin. My pumpkin. Carve. I'll carve your cheek! Pumpkin. My pumpkin." Voices began to whisper in Silana's head. "No no no no no. Your not real!Your not real! Get out of my head. Please get out of my head father!" Silana cried. The son tried to sooth the girl and calm her down while the mother started treating the wound in Silana's cheek.
"This isn't normal." Both the son and mother said in sync. They both nodded their heads in agreement and unchained Silana.
The woman carried the paralyzed girl and put her in the cage upstairs.
"Goodnight." The son whispered to Silana.
LATER THAT NIGHT
*In dream/flashback*
"Daddy, where are we going?" Silana's past self requested.
"You're already 4 and I think it's time you obtain life." Her past father remarked. They both walked into a room with cement walls and floors. Her past self studied the room very carefully. They both walked into another room with a table.
"Get on this table and lay on your stomach." He ordered.
"But why?" She hesitated.
"JUST DO IT!" He scolded like a mad man. She followed the direction and awaited the next event to come. Her dad pulled out a scalpel and pressed it against the child's back. He started carving a symbol that took up her whole back.
"OW! STOP IT DADDY,PLEASE!! It hurts!" Silana cried and begged for mercy. Her voice began to die out after a while. Silana couldn't handle the torture and blacked out. *End of dream/flashback*
Silana woke up panting and started hyperventilating. She had no idea what she had just seen or what that was.
