SELENE EIN 👁 🌙

KEY

'Aaaaaaarrrrgggghhh' A scream echoed throughout the house.

"Is that Ein?" Zem enquired, both of them stared at each other. They began to run towards the infirmary. Ein was standing near the bed and to their surprise, the lifeless body of Aze was clutching on to her wrist. Ein pulled off from his hold and ran to them terrified,
"It....it...caught hold of me," Ein mumbled.

'beep beep' the heart monitor came into life replacing the flat line with waves , both Oliver and Zem hurried towards Aze. Assessed his heartbeat, it was indeed beating.
"Oliver call for Dr. Jane quickly, I think he is alive" Zem screamed.

Oliver ran out with his phone. Hearing all the commotions, Zem's father appeared into the room
"Dad... Aze is....breathing....dad he is alive," Zem said whilst crying.
Her dad came running into the room, checked his pulse. Yes indeed he is alive. He let out a huge breath he was unknowingly holding. The daughter and dad hugged each other crying in relief.

Dr. jane followed by Oliver came into the room. Her expression revealed how confused she was with the explanation Oliver had presented her. They all moved away from the room to let her check. Ein was standing there like a statue. How can he be alive? she herself had checked on it. What was that all about the light and the tattoo? did she have the power to revive dead people?

Zem came and hugged her. "I am thankful that you came Ein" She couldn't complete her sentence as Dr. jane came out.
"Azarios is alive. I don't know how it happened. It is a medical miracle. In the case of cardiac arrests usually, the heartbeat and breathing halts, but that was not the case here. By God's grace, he is totally fine and more healthy than he was. He will need blood. Is there anyone who has B positive blood?" She let out all the words together in one breath ,still perplexed.

That's when Ein noticed everyone was looking at her questioningly. She had momentarily zoned out and had not listened to what they asked her "I am sorry what?"

"None of us are B Positive, what is your blood group ?" Zem repeated the question.

"Yeah I am B positive" Ein replied. When she further didn't say anything Oliver interrupted
"Its okay Ein if you don't want to donate blood, we can find from the nearby hospitals"

"No, no I had zoned out completely and didn't hear any of it, sure I will donate my blood if it's compatible" Ein replied.
Dr. Jane went back to the infirmary. That's when Zem's mom came running.
Zem ran to her and hugged her and disclosed the good news. They cried against each other for a long time. Finally letting go of Zem, her mom noticed Ein. A look of shock passed through her face.
"So similar" she mumbled. She was scanning Ein up and down.
"Oh mom this is Ein, I told you right" Zem interjected.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs...?" Ein replied.
"Just call me Adeline. Ein, it is such a pleasure to meet you" she smiled pleasantly.
Zem's dad had now joined them.
"Its nice to....." he stopped mid-sentence sharing the same shocked expression as his wife.
Ein felt uncomfortable. Was there something on her face? Or was she that ugly?
"Aze woke up when Ein was there" Oliver added to cool down the atmosphere.
Both of their faces brightened on hearing this. Adeline came and hugged her tightly, it was so tight that she felt her ribs will break now and mumbled thanks.

Should she say about the light? But no one would believe that she had brought a dead to life.so better to leave it as such.
" nothing to thank me, its just God's grace" Ein replied when she was freed of the hug.
Dr. Jane called her towards the infirmary to obtain test samples of her blood for the compatibility test.

Zem's mom and dad turned towards each other, initiated having conversations with their eyes.

"Woah mom and dad, why did you act like that towards Ein, it felt rude" Zem interrupted.

"Oh its nothing, darling" her mom retorted hurriedly.

Everyone had their face bright now. The painful atmosphere was replaced by a cheerful one.
Ein accompanied by Dr. Jane came out.
"We will check if your blood is compatible and call you Ein," Dr. Jane said in a motherly voice.
Even though she had visited the hospital hundreds of times with her parents she had never seen Dr. Jane.
"Where do you work Dr.?" Ein asked curiously.
She laughed it off and walked back into the infirmary. Ein turned towards Zem for an explanation.

"She is one of us and treats only us," Zem said in a matter of factly tone.

"Who are your parents Ein?" Adeline inquired.

"It's Noah and Aide,both surgeons at the national hospital" she replied.

Zem's dad mumbles something like never heard of them.

"It's getting late I should probably leave," Ein said.

"Oh no you are going nowhere unless you have dinner dear," Adeline said.

"No Mrs. Adeline, I have to get home, surely will eat one-day" Ein replied.

"I told you Ein ,to stop with the pleasantries, you can either call me Adeline or mom or aunt" she playfully scolded ein.
Everyone laughed at this.

"Let me drop you off" Oliver offered.

"no problem, it's just evening I can walk from here, bye everyone, see you".

"Come visit us often Ein" Adeline called out.

"Sure" Ein replied. Zem led her towards the front door. She bid her farewell and made way towards her house, still perplexed about what had transpired in the infirmary. That's when she recalled she had forgotten to check if the others had the tattoo too. Is it actually feasible to revive a dead person? Her thoughts were jumbled and there must be a key to unfold all these. She strolled through the alley deep in her thoughts, unexpectedly a hand yanked her into the backstreet.

Fear crept through her, is it a beast? Demon? Clown? It was too dark in the alleyway to comprehend what had caught her hand, unexpectedly it let go of her hand, making her confused.
"Is...is....is....he alive?" A male voice questioned with stutters.
"Who?" Ein retorted.
"The boy who was badly hurt" he sounded terrified. He must be referring to Aze, she guessed.
"Yeah, he is alive. But who are you?" Without providing any explanation he left.

What was that all about? as she had no energy left to follow him she proceeded back home.thats when it stuck her. Could it have been the person who hurt Aze? the thought made her halt midway. She had let go of the criminal. How more stupid could she be. She didn't even study what he looked like. What had happened to Aze that got him so much wounded? She shuddered at the possibilities that shaped in her head.
