Once in a Blue Moon

Chapter 10.

I wasn't expecting that I will ever open my eyes again but fortunately I did.
I am not capable of standing up or even sitting.
I feel like my brain has big holes through which my blood still continues to rush out.

There are so many echoes in my head, as I open my eyes, I can see a film going on in front of me. I can see myself, my dad, Rossana, mom and even David. I guess its just a part of my imagination or a part of my memory.

Things have changed a lot in these years.

I can hear different voices, different echoes in my head, there is no one I can see but a lot of voices I can hear.
I can remember what happened. I remember Rossana. I remember David. I know I am at the right place.

I feel someone is screaming out for me.

I remember everything.

My head still aches a lot, I feel dizzy.

Where is Rossana? I can't find her.

This time, I don't want to go back.
Rossana was right about everything. Maybe David is also under the same spell, not maybe, he is.
Today, I am here for a reason, for revenge.

Everyone can be found, under this glass like ice. I just hope they are alive.

I try to stand up, I cannot find Rossana, she did hit me hard, maybe because she didn't want me to go. I shouldn't go, I belong here.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

FIVE YEARS AGO.

David.
Everything in this world is as beautiful as you imagine it to be.
I have climbed up a hill. People say that most of the gems are found in here, and maybe that is the reason why this hill is called as, 'Gemtain'. The name is indeed a bit strange.

I am obsessed with gems, the specialty about them is that each one differs from the other.

I came here one day ago, and I need to reach home by tomorrow. Tomorrow is an important day, as a celebration.

I move forward on the slope of the hill.
The hill is covered with beautiful trees. This place looks more amazing during sunrise.

The beauty and fragrance of flowers fills this place, and no doubt, a lot of gems will also be here, I just need to find them.
Since yesterday I haven't collected even one of the gem because I was climbing and there were no gems or diamonds at the bottom. Though I could have used my magic to climb up, but then it would be no fun.

The floor of brown mud below my feet is shining slightly brighter than before. Some rays of the sun are getting reflected, is the mud reflecting light! Of Course not!
This can mean one and only one thing, the diamonds, emeralds, rubies and many more gems are here. Am I standing on them? Are they buried in the mud? How can gems be inside mud?

To be honest I am not greedy about gems, but I love to collect them, not just by buying them but by finding them.

As the partially buried gems reflect the rays of sun, those reflected rays catches my attention to the gems and I grab them all, at least as much as I can find, and put them in a red colored small bag. Their shapes, their colors, its just so attractive, and I am proud that I found them by myself and also by climbing it instead of using magic.
Finally, I found the gems. So relieved I am.
