The Locket Impact

☆2☆ "You fell asleep."

"Never mind."- Sierra.

Sabir blushed a little but didn't show it and without any smile. But he really looked like he needed time to think about this. Was it real. But he noticed Sierra looking at him with a confused face so he walked forward.

"Wait!" - Sierra.
"What?"- Sabir.

Sierra sighed and looked around. "Looks like we need to do some maths I guess.", she said. "Not exactly maths. More like we need to do some literature here.", Sabir says. "You ever wrote a poem?"- Sierra. "Maybe.", Sabir. Sierra just nodded her head as a symbol she understood what he said.

She imagines what would happen if she never found her parents. What if she was stuck here. What even is this place. What if the time here is frozen. Wait.

"The time here is frozen!", Sierra says.

"How?"- Sabir.

"Think about it. This is not the real universe. This is more like a fantasy. And there should not be any sign of time too."- Sierra.

"No you cannot stop time acually, and in it doesn't take a universe to do so."- Sabir.

Sierra smiled at Sabir and looked forward and said, "Even if we cross as much as distance we want to, the time will remain the same because it never really occured. It is a fantasy where we can create the answer they want. So, definately the answer with the intention of moving from this place with a creature which I could say is a human is that because I really don't want to be in this fantasy and therefore, open the gates."- Sierra.

With that, light begin to sparkle from the place Sierra pointed her face. The wall was carved by a circle and slowly all the boundaries of this place could be felt. It was  transparent and was apparently coming close. Sabir tried to touch it. "It's a wall. It's gonna close soon. Hurry!". And before he could have said anything, they rushed through that light only to see the most horrible scene ever.

"Iram!", Sierra shouted.

It was the drowned, almost dead body of Sierra's brother.

Next to it was a girl. But Sierra couldn't recognise her. "Shalyn.", Sabir muttered in his mouth. "Oh no."

Sierra's pov:

I couldn't believe what I just saw. This was the moment. This couldn't be it. My mind is frozen. I don't know what to do. I saw Sabir who looks as much as traumatised as me. But this wasn't the time to be traumatised and cry. Even if I can't, I have to find a way. This time, I have to make the impossible into today's reality.

And no matter what it takes.

I went closer to have a better view at the most horrible condition of my beloved brother. Even though I didn't have the slightest bit of urge to touch it, I still did. Guess what, my hand could pass through the body.

"Come on now, I know it's not real but why this sort of a thing."- Sierra.

Sabir realised and said "So if this is a fantasy, then is this true though?". And he laughed and slowly everything around Sierra went drastically away from her.

🍃Sierra's pov:
I couldn't believe what is happening but something sure is happening which is scaring the heck out of me. Crap. What house did Sabir said that he lived in?

"Are you alive?", I heard as I opened my eyes to see my brother, in a fully healthy state who I saw dead last time.

"It's 9am. You don't wanna walk in the forest today? Remeber we were supposed to be outside?"-Iram.

"Yeah"- I spoke. "Iram, what happened last night?.

"Nothing? You fell asleep."- Iram.

"Did mom and dad came home yesterday?"- I asked to be clear about this. "Yeah of course, you're acting strange now get ready if you wanna go with us.", said Iram. With that he went outside the room.

I got ready, I wore a white top with a red long skirt. Of course my red scarf was there to make it extra gorgeous. However, that's not the point.

The point was how could the dream be with a person I've never met before. Who was that person actually. It was actually very interesting one cause I honestly love reality but fantasy always has a space in my mind. It just makes me want to escape reality even though my reality is also very mesmerizing and moreover I don't wanna be bounded in a place with an unknown man of course.

Anyway, I didn't do makeup because I didn't get that mood to do makeup. Or else I love makeup. It is one of the best illusions. However, the artist has the biggest impact here, afterall they are creating that illusion. Our eyes just seemingly gets blinded by those illustrations.

I went to the balcony and it was cloudy. Looks like it could rain any second but let's hope for the best. I had a locket there that I choosed to wear. It was such a beautiful design. When I was little, like around 4 or 5, a young lady around 29 or 30 gave me this locket when she saw I was playing in the playground all by myself.

Even though I didn't have the oppurtunity to spend time with my parents like my peers, my parents wanted me to have a successful life. They enrolled me to a primary school back then where at first I was not that brilliant but gradually my result became astonishing. I used to go to the playground during evening with my brother Iram. He used to play with his friends. However, I couldn't achive this trait. I preferred to be alone, to be by myself. But sometimes I did get a bit sad as I couldn't talk to others properly like my brother.

Whenever I used to talk to them they made me seem like I wasn't cool enough which though made me sad but unlocked the creative side in me. I gradually started to develop a connection with the nature since then.

So, the question is how did I got this locket. As I said earlier I used to see that lady everytime I went there. She used to come with a little boy who was also the same age as me but again due to my introverted lifestyle I couldn't even introduce myself to him. One day she came towards me and at first asked my name. Then she said that she was babysitter of that boy. I still remember she said in the most delicated tone, "I don't have any child but Sabi was like my own child. He choosed to make this locket but we don't have any girl here so he choosed to give it to you." The boy was looking at me shyly.

I was never more happy at an stranger than that day. Her sweetness will always remind me that even in the darkest of the times, we human beings need to be united with light. We have to create that light.

"We're locking you in this house!"-shouted Iram.

I then rushed to go with my brother and parents to walk in front of our house which is actually a forest.
