Seven Terrible Nights

Ch. 4 "Monsters Use Lipsticks?"

They were fine after stuffing their tummies; nothing went wrong, indicating that the food is safe.

"Aaaah, I was so hungry, Alhamdulillah," said Josef.

"But there's no more food anymore," said Shadi.

"We don't need it again; we'll leave this house and come back for mommy's delicious food," said Sami.

"Now, what are we gonna do after eating?" said Mazen

"Sleeping," Shadi said, "We need some rest"

"What if that ugly bear reappears while we're sleeping?" said Sami.

"It won't hear us, and as you saw, it didn't come when you broke the vase and made a big noise," said Peter.

And after arguing for half a hour, they all fell asleep like babies, except Shadi, who suggested the idea to them in the first place and wanted to sleep so badly.

He was thinking about his dead friends and what would happen to his alive friends.

"Can they escape from here safely? I can barely move," Shadi asked himself

He doesn't want to worry his friends more, but in fact, when he was carrying Mazen in the drowning room, he crashed into an office in the sunken library and got an injury to the side of his abdomen.
It's not that bad, but it hurts him. Wanna know why?
When you have a small injury in some part of your body, it hurts, right?
But when you have a huge hole in your heart? What does it look like to you?

He has the two injuries, the physical and the emotional, he lost a huge piece after his friends death, and beside that, he doesn't know if he can survive.
So even a small injury in his stomach, made such a big deal.

He doesn't show the pain of his emotional injury for the sake of his dead friends, nor does he show the pain of his physical injury in his stomach.

While he was overthinking...

"Wait a second, What is that?"

"ROAR, NEW FOOOOOOD"

!New monster alert!

It looked like a fat monster with long, straight blond hair. And disgusting saliva falling from its mouth has a pink skin color, and... Wait, is it putting on red lipstick...?

It was floating in the room while saying, "Where is my food?" with a glumsy deep voice.

Shady immediately glimpsed it and woke up his friends. "There's another monster!"
"What? What? Is it the end of the world?" shouted Sami
"Dude- THIS IS SO UNFAIR, DEAR GOD." Haroon shouted

*Phhht* "BAHAHAHA, WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT? AHEHEHE" Sami said while laughing so hard.

"We don't have time for this, SAMI!" Peter said

The monster wasn't really floating because he was overweight, but they were; they were all thin guys, so they were obviously floating, so they were like they're fighting in the ocean.
They start to swim in the air like maniacs, trying to find a way to escape.

"Oh man, the room was so comfortable," said Sami.

Mazen (who doesn't know how to swim) was on Shadi's back, and Shady was in pain because of the injury, but he endured it and ignored it.

The monster was trying to chase them, and they were just swimming in a circle. They didn't know what to do or where to go.

When Peter finally woke up to the situation and thought of a slightly complicated solution, he saw something shining around the monster's neck. He thought that it might be a key and they had to get it, and then he told his friends about that in a loud voice and started to think about how to get it.

He decided that the best way is for them to take the monster's attention while someone of them takes the key.

Haroon volunteered to take the key, while the rest of the young men will try to distract the monster so that he doesn't see Haroon next to him.

And then Haroon got close to the beast, and the others were just making some moves in the air while the beast was coming closer, saying, "WHERE'S MY FOOD?"

And then Haroon got the key and ran away!
But the monster didn't even feel Haroon stealing the key and just focused on Shadi carrying Mazen.
And then the beast started to chase Shadi!

Shadi was injured (as you know) , so he was already tired, so he threw Mazen away to his friends and said, "Ash'hadu ana laa ellah ela Allah, w ana Mohamed rasul Allah.., be sa-." He wanted to complete *be safe* but the beast didn't allow him...

"WHYYYYYYY.." Mazen was crying.
"Come on, Mazen!" shouted Haroon with tears in eyes.

And they had to watch their way and not look back...

And then they found a door, and Haroon threw the key to Peter to open it, but the door didn't open! It seems that the key doesn't belong to this door.

"Disperse and look for another door carefully and very quickly!" Peter shouted.

And then they dispersed and searched everywhere! While the beast was eating his percious prey... Shadi was brave and strong until the end.

Josef found a door! but it was under their feet.

"Hey, it looks like an underground room!" Josef shouted.

And then they ran into him, and Peter tried to open the room, and it opened successfully!

They went so fast across the door!
And Haroon was the last one! But the door had closed before he got in. And a strange sentence was written on the door as if it were magic!

It slowly-magically typed on the door, and the sentence was:

~Only four can pass~.

And he said, "What? No, no, please open; there is no way," while crying on the door.

The others were hearing him, and they were trying to break the door or open it, but they failed, and they were too late...

Then... they heard Haroon's scream, and no one heard anything after that...

To be continued...
