THE HIDDEN SECRETS[✔]

Chapter 15

We all rushed towards the place and found the dead body of the man who was brutally killed by someone.

But whom?

Don't tell me Heil did this. It's two in the evening and Heil won't appear until 6. I looked at the dead body and thought to take a step closer but reading my mind Rakesh placed a hand on my shoulder shaking his head disbelievingly.

"Ahh!!!" Chole screamed out of her lungs. I followed her gaze and gagged when I spotted the ripped piece of his heart.

Everyone including Rakesh took a step back where I gathered some courage and forwarded my steps towards the shattered body.

"Reil, don't." Emiem warned, her voice completely shuttered. I ignored everyone's pleading to come back and reached the dead body.

Ahhgg! he was definitely killed brutally. His one eye was pulled out of his sockets, his skull is clearly visible as the flesh was cruelly pulled off his face and his brain... Ohh God! it was ripped out of his head and thrown away.

It seemed someone took revenge on this man, and a normal human can't able to do this even he has the power to turn like a monster. But a real monster can do this.

Does that mean Heil involved in this murder? Too many questions raised into my mind that gave me a heavy headache, as the effect my head became to spin and I saw a dark spot above my head. For a second I shut my eyes and opened it but my visions are still blurry. I blinked my eyes several times to remain conscious but fate decided otherwise.


I can hear my name was being called by my colleagues but I couldn't able to respond. Gathering all my remaining energy I tried to drag my leg from the spot but seem I was rooted to the ground.

Anxiety overwhelmed my body and I fell backward but even before my limb body collides into the land, two strong arms caught me on time and lifted me in bridal styles. I saw his black eyes which hitched with worries and concern before the word 'darkness' swallowed me.

"Hey wake up." Someone shook my body so gently like I'm one of the fragile antique glass.

After trying several times I succeeded to open my eyes but regretted when the sunlight screamed straight on my face. "Wake up. You are in the medical room." Blake whispered, his voice held the same worries and concern that I saw in his eyes before blacked out.

Slowly, I sat on the cot and let out a long sigh. "It was a horrible dream." I rubbed my temple where I felt a mint pain. It felt surreal and I wanted to get rid off the dream.

"No, it was not a dream." A soft voice crossed my memory but this time it does not belong to mine. "What do you mean?" I looked at the source of voice demanding the answer.

Definitely they don't know what kind of dream I had.

"Stop whining like a baby, will you?" Rakesh whose nature was calm like a sea lost his temper and scolded me.

"Shut up." Blake threw him a murderous glare before handed me a glass of water along with aspirin. I badly want one for my throbbing headache and I'm glad he handed me the right time.

I shoved the tablet deep into my throat and emptied the whole glass of water as my throat felt dry like a Sahara desert.

"Thanks." I mutter.

"Now everyone can leave. You can see her doing alright." He ordered looking particularly at Rakesh. In a fraction of second everyone left the room without arguing. Hmm... They are afraid of him, I guess.

"You okay?" He sat beside me and stroked my hair lovingly the moment everyone's back faded out of our sight.

Even though it felt strange I leaned towards his touch and hummed in response. "was that real, the dead body?" I looked straight into his eyes.

Without hesitating, he nodded his head and I heard a pounding sound of my heavy heartbeat. "Relax!." Sensing my fear he clutched my hand and drew a small circle on my palm.

"Heil did this." He clenched his jaw and looked somewhere before met my piercing gaze.

"But Heil won't show up until 6-" I trailed off not knowing what to say completely uttered by the whole new news. Who the fuck exactly Heil is?

"Heil is the puzzle and no one can exactly predict who he is or what he is unless Dr. Steven Volts open his eyes and reveal the truth." He locked his gaze with me, something flashed across his eyes, not a blank expression he usually has always, but I couldn't able to figure out exactly what was that, cause he averted his eyes and looked somewhere completely ignoring my stares as he senses I'm trying to read his mind.

Feeling frustrated with the whole situation I nodded my head like a doll in 'Thanjavur' even though I don't know who the heck is Dr. Steven Volts and how he related to Heil.

There is a 99% chance as Heil to be a human. According to the book, Heil's brain is working two times than humans, and our brain always plays tricks against others so Heil won't be anywhere smaller than us.

But the thing is why in the hell he didn't attack me when he got the chance? Maybe he won't kill innocent people. Seriously, innocent people? Then what about the old lady? What kind of sin she committed to killed by Heil, mercilessly.

"Don't think too much. Take rest." He patted my shoulders bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Why did he kill that man?" I asked as he knows the reason.

"I don't know." He shrugged his shoulders. "But the man had been working for Dr. Volts before he fell into the coma and he has been taking care of Dr. volts till today. They two were very close."

My mouth hung opened. If that man has destined to have a cruel death just because they were friends then what about Dr. Volts? What would have Heil planned for him?

"And a strange thing happened today. Dr. Volts's body has started to respond to our medicine." His eyes held victory when he spoke. "Does the matter has any connection behind his misery death?" I asked connecting the dots.

"I think so." He replied. "Now quit a while and eat something." He opened the large tiffin box and took the set of Onion Dosa. My mouth watered at the sight of delicious food in front of my plates that kinda made me forget all my worries.

"Thank you." I flashed him a small smile before ate the food like a hungry animal.  Onion Dosa is one of my dad's favorite. I used to cook Dosa with tomato gravy when I was in Texas and my mom enjoyed a lot. Poor my dad didn't has luck to taste my hand made food.

"Did you like this?" He asked curiously. "A lot." I put the last piece of Dosa in my mouth and moaned loudly not caring someone is sitting beside me and when I looked at his eyes, I felt my stomach knotted the way he was staring my soul so intensively.

"Where did you buy this Dosa?" I asked licking my pinky finger thoroughly. Last time when I went to grocery shopping, I asked almost ten hotels for Onion Dosa but they said they provide only fast food and chicken. Such a disappointment.

"I cooked this." A hint of red dots appeared on his pale cheeks making him look adorable. If anyone would told me the day when he dogged his fingernails in my wrist that you would admire him in the future, especially eat his hand made food, I would have slapped their face enough to teach them a lesson as don't mess with me, but see... I'm the reason behind his blushing face. Time changed a lot between us.

"You are a great chef then." I complimented, the blush in his cheeks brighten more than before.

Once again to prove his gentleman's side, he grabbed the two plates and walked out of the room. A minutes later, he returned with an empty hand and when I asked where he went he said he went to wash the dish.

He really took my heart.

Never in my dream, I have imagined that he would open up this closely. Where the rude Blake who doesn't bother to hurt others without another thought?

We talked, chatted, laughed even gossiped like a teenager as we were a close friend from the diaper. He opened himself and I got to know more about him except the part of his family. He even promised me to take me to visit Dr. Volts, tomorrow.

"Be strong! You need more willpower to face Heil. So, don't let your guard down. I'm here for you." His words brought a new hope in my lump heart.

"You don't know how grateful I'm feeling right now," I said out of my heart.

"Take care." We bid our goodbye before parted in the opposite direction by having a goofy grin on our face.
