《 Aftermath 》

In Ray's early memories, the brightest ones were with Elowyn.

He recalled his first meeting with her.

He was a year old, in Mama's arms.

Mama's voice sounded sweet and calming.
"This is your new brother, Ray. I hope you all will take care of him."

The children were all crowded around him. They peered at him curiously with smiles on their face.

Only one girl stepped out towards him.

She was five years old at that time, but still her eyes could flash as bright as the sun.

She reached it her small hand and pressed the back of it onto his cheek.

"Hi Ray," she whispered.

As Ray got older and understood the secrets of the house, he realised just how mysterious Elowyn was.

As an infant, Elowyn would come to him and tell him stories, but whats she talked about most was the wall.

She had hinted several things to him, a lot of which that he didn't understand.

But two things were sure.

One, she knew that Ray would remember everything from the day he left the womb.

Two, she knew the secrets of the house.

Whenever she had comforted Ray from his nightmares, never did she once say that monsters were not real, unlike the others.

She had instead told him, "You will be able to escape the monsters."

Whenever Ray had tried to get Elowyn to work with him to escape, she would refuse.

That was one of the strange things about Elowyn. She seemed so warm and friendly with everyone like Emma, but sometimes she became so cold and indifferent that Ray couldn't help but feel scared.

I'm not part of the story

Ray couldn't understand her no matter how he tried.

Elowyn was his only refuge, the only one who too knew the secret.

But now she was gone.

A year passed, and on Ray's birthday, Mama approached him and handed him an enevelope.

He frowned at her, suspicious. She was the woman who took away his favourite big sister in the whole world, but he still had to work with her, for the sake of his two best friends.

"What's that, Mama?" He asked, pointing towards the envelope.

Mama gave her usual smile and pressed the letter into his hand.

"A birthday card from Elowyn."

Ray's jaw dropped. He stared at the letter, then looked back at Mama.
