Incomplete Ride (PART 2)

Chapter 8

(Let's Bond)

We were on the sofa resting after the meal chatting. “So, what made you guys come here.” Brenda asked to them. “well, we were paranormal vloggers. Whenever we used to find out anything scary, interesting or unexplainable, we used to go out and check the place. When we heard about this we came to investigate but as the train started moving, our every camera or electronics stopped working. We didn’t know this was going to turn out like this.”
The group’s head sunk as stella told us the back story.
“How about you two?”  Lorenzo asked.
“Well, unlike you we came here separately.” Brenda said and looked at me to seek approval. I nodded. To work together we had to trust, if it was a trap, we’ll find out a way anyhow, and if it’s not we, then I will. “I came here because I just wanted to cut myself off. I also was curious about the world but that’s a lie which I keep telling myself. My father, my mother, my siblings. I lost them all one by one. After next few years I found a man, different, unique. After so long I was able to call someone my family. We were close. Very close. Until one day.” I looked at Brenda as I heard her voice break. She was great at hiding her cry, cause at first sight no one could say she was about to but a little shiny droplet of tear went across her cheeks sliding slowly, betraying her attempts to stay calm. The tear fell on her lap but she never wiped her face. Except a tear which rolled over her face, there was no sign that she was about to cry, or maybe crying. I don’t know how much she must have suffered to be built this tough and great at not showing emotions.
In her normal facial expression, without wiping tear off her face and letting it dry there, she continued. “Anyways, That was just the past. Certainly I wanna let it go through the end result was the man left me and I was alone again. After I vowed I won’t trust anyone, I trusted him and broke. So yeah now I’m here.”
“I’m so sorry, I think I shouldn’t have asked.” Lorenzo said as his eyes were glued too ground. “How about you black suit?” Tristan said. “Call me that again and Your soul becomes slave to this world.” I said as Brenda looked at me, smiling. Maybe, she really saw real me through her eyes. I sighed, “Well its just I wanted to find someone or maybe peace and failed at it.”
“Hands down that’s the best and quickest answer in here.” Dante said. Yeah, certainly it's not as easy for me as i made it while saying it. Stella asked dante to look at the intensity of situation before opening his mouth.
“It’s Pearl, may I enter?” we heard a voice echo room. “Uhm… yes you may..?” Stella said ordering the void, perhaps. The door turned transparent to let pearl enter. She had a sandclock in her hands, magical maybe, filled with pink glowing dust in a large quantity at one side and dark pink, non-glowing sand less than the other one on the other side. “The is Livizana made with help of dust and other formulas of eurota. As we get close to the planet the sand keeps on shifting to the other side where you can see it becomes dark-livi. You guys can rest we will be on livi for atleast grevina.” Pearl told as she kept it on the main table. “Now what’s grevina?” “Its 11 vinas, that is how you guys have 7 days together making it a week….same concept.” “oh….you really want us to learn this language as well don’t you?” Brenda asked sinking in her seat pretending being tired. In response, pearl winked like a little girl as she nodded her head in yes, quite fast. She left the room without any words after closing the dining table back to a trolly and dragging it along. I stood up, I hadn’t moved away from the hall so I thought to discover the place. I turned my back facing the entrance. In front of me was  door, I went to it and opened it. The door led to the _____________. The alley was quite lit. I started checking the place and came back to the lobby. Now I can conclude that the place had seven rooms and every room was designated to each one of us with help of nameplates. As I stood right ahead of door, I saw others coming, yawning towards me. Going to their respective rooms so I joined them. “Lets just go and take some sleep, we have no idea how tiring it will go be for us.” “Yeah right, I never had a job of conductor.” “I wonder if the could do anything about their creepy dark blue uniforms.” “Hey blue color’s good though, its my favoirite.” ‘brenda’s favourite color is blue’ I wondered as I moved towards my room and opened the door. The room looked like it was customized just for me. Only one drawback, it had no laptops, tv or smartphone. Rest of it reminded me of my previous house. I remember how long it had been since I stayed in a grey color and dark themed room. Ava filled my live with bright colors but I think I still find darkness as my comfort zone. Maybe because I lost her or maybe because I never was someone what I became for her. I went straight towards my bed to grab a little sleep before the chaotic journey I might be travelling in soon. Little did I know the chaos were sleeping in next six rooms to me. I was almost asleep when my sleep broke due to noise. I woke up and walked out my room to see six adults acting like new teenagers. In response I could just sigh and smacked my own head as I moved back to my room. I went on my bed again and closed my eyes.
