The Elevator

It's not worth it

I held her by the wrists protectively and bring my lips to her ear to whisper to her.

Erica: Nadia, don't, it's not worth it.

What could he do to us? I'm in a hurry. I couldn't expose my best friend to such danger, she had no debt to go through this. I started shaking, Father didn't make a move to walk away, he looked at us with hatred.

Gerasimos: Downstairs he's got some cops... Do you know anything about this?

Erica: No, I swear I didn't bring them here.

Gerasimos: You better be sure you're going to have to pay for it otherwise, I'm not going to let you infect anyone with your presence.

I took Nadia and basically dragged her home while Father was leaving. Only Myrto was in the house.

Nadia: Take a bath and calm down a little, then I'll take a bath.

Her grandmother shook her head sympathetically. This woman, I knew she had caused me this problem with the police, and I couldn't prove it. But I knew it. All that pretend kindness she was bringing out in front of her granddaughter was just an inexplicable act of hypocrisy.

She didn't have the guts to admit that yes, she didn't like me! If you do something extreme like call the police on me, at least you should have the fist to defend your act, not hide behind slimy behaviors.

< Behave like the thing, hide..">

The lack of power was now apparent wondering how long Mr. Jason would keep this story. He can't think we believed him. Within ten minutes I was ready. I was used to cold baths, but I had to call the next one.

She was so frozen by the sudden shock of cold water that She trembled even when it was over. She searched the downstairs cupboards and found some used candles. Tried to light them, and despite my negative hopes, she did.

The flames broke the darkness, brought along a strange wave in the atmosphere. I felt like I'd been through this scene before. A knot was tied to my neck for no apparent reason. I ignored my concern and went inside.

She wrapped herself in a blanket and sat across from me with the candles between us. I could see her idol forming like a shadow backwards. She looked at me and took a deep breath. It was time for you and I to have a serious conversation.

There were some issues that required our attention and had to be resolved right away with her father's obsession first on the list.

Nadia: So what do we do now?

I can't tell if she's asking or announcing, her body posture shows me that she's determined, I've watched her, and I know that while we were practicing at school, she was practicing her mind finding solutions to problems.

Nadia: First of all, let's focus on what we know.

She's swallowing loudly.

Nadia: My father and my brother read books of some cult that manipulate them. You, however, were only minimally affected. Why is this going on?

The fact that her tone confirms to me that I'm on the brakes made me calm down and think more logically, to be more productive.

Erica: I read some of them.. The series consists of dozens more..

Nadia: That's right. You told me you had a seizure. How was it exactly?
