It's been three days since Cath brought the head to Cris. He spent so much time trying to reactivate the head again but nothing. It almost seemed as if it ran out of a battery that he couldn't replace.
In fact, nothing strange was happening at all. Which for Cath became frustrating, she didn't mind calm and quiet but this wasn't the type of calm and quiet that people would enjoy. It did not feel calm, she knew that something will happen again and it will be soon. She decided to go back to the well where she got attacked to see if the body is still there.
It was there, the body of a man that was dead and she killed him again. The body looked old and seemed to be rotting, it was dressed in old clothes. It was all torn and didn't really look like a funeral gown that the bodies would always be put into. He probably wasn't buried properly, how sad... no matter he came back again...
Cath looked at the headless body and shivered. Ugh! The flashback of the talking head gave her chills. How was it even possible?
"Take me instead! Use me as you see fit!" those words were echoing in her brain. What did the head mean by this? Were these things some sort of slaves? And what is that?
Cath squad above the body's neck. There was a small silver door slightly beneath where she had cut. She took her knife and forced the little door open, there was a small crystal, glowing with an energetic blue light. She quickly put it in her pocket. Is there more? She rolled the body on it's back. Would you look at that, there is! There was a purse tied around the waist. She took it and started digging in it.
"Well, Mr. Headless... You are helping me more than you think here!" she smiled at the content of the purse.
"Your duty is over now," she stood up "Thank you for your services. You may rest now properly." she dragged the body back to the woods and buried it under the leaves. On a piece of a tree bark she carved:
"Mr. Headless"
