Chapter 6 - The truth

It was a sunny morning with the sun rising from the clouds. Birds chirping everywhere thorough out the forest. The winds colliding with the trees. Resulting in gentle rusting of leaves. There was more noise than normal in the forest.

In the camp, Sara was sitting on chair with coffee while viewing the sky with a slight half smile on her face.

She heard a familiar voice from behind,

" Hey, good morning. How was the last night?"

Misha spoke with warm, soft expression. While Grooming her hair.

" Yeah, sleep pretty well."

Misha sat on nearby chair beside Sara.

" You know, I was awakened in sleep last night by Zack. When I went outside to check what wrong? He got frightened and shocked seeing me."

" Huh why. He isn't like that?"

Sara ask with puzzlement and curiousity.

" He sad he saw mydoppelganger just before I arrived and when did, he looked at where she was, she disappeared. And the strange thing is Ender was laying there."

" Either he was too drunk or trying to fool you."

" Yeah, same here."

Meanwhile on the other tent.

Ender waked up like everything was normal. Looking like he forget that previous night,as he saw Zack and Ruis sleeping on other side of tent. He freshes up before going outside.

" Hey! What's up! You guys wake pretty early today."

He said with warm smile.

" Oh hey! You know we were talking about you and Zack right now."

Sara said with a smirked.

" Me and Zack, really what happened now?"

He said while brushing his hair.

" Zack found you lying on the ground near the waterfall. So he picked you up and now you're here. Can you tell us what were you doing there?"

Sara said with a grinn.

Ender's face become pale in an instant as he now remember what happened last night. Maybe his mind made him forget that horrific experience. He fell down unable to hold himself.

Misha came Infront of him. Along with Sara in back.

" What's wrong?"

She said with worried expression.

" What's wrong?"

A familiar voice came from behind as Zack and Ruis were here.

" I – I wanted to tell you guys something. Something important."

Moments later...

" Are you retard?"

Sara said with puzzlement

" Damn. What fantasy book you have read now?"

Zack replied with a grinn.

Misha and Ruis were silent.

" It's true!. Why don't you guys believed me? I'm not lying. I'm serious! Look at me."

" Believing that story is like believing water is blue."

Ruis said with calm tone.

" H – How can I make you guys believed this is true."

" We need to get this guy a therapist."

Zack said with little serious tone.

" Well the show was quite good, but I'm going now."

As Ruis started walking towards waterfall.

With him Zack and Sara leave too as Ender was covering his head concerned about all of this.

~ How? How can I make them believe this wasn't a dream? I have to make them believe this! Otherwise...

As he was lost in his thoughts, misha placed her hand on his shoulder.

" Don't worry, it will be fine."

She spoke with warm tone.

" You don't believe me."

She was silent. As if she can't make a decision.

" Let's go somewhere."

She tried to change the topic, as Ender nods

so they started walking somewhere.

It was dawn with the sun setting, Sara was seeing the clouds caught by the light, glowing with an ethereal beauty, tingled with pink and purple.

She heard footsteps from behind with known voice.

" Can I sit?"

Ruis said with calm tone. As Sara nods so he sits beside her looking at the sunset.

" You are silent lately."

Ruis broke the silence between them.

" If someone who's mature, started behaving weirdly then it's not normal."

She said with calm tone.

" You're thinking too much, he is just enjoying his life. Like us."

" He enjoying, you forget what happened when she died. He always blamed himself for her death. Even though he wasn't the reason for her death."

She said with continuing.

" I still miss her, she was the one who understands me."

" It's not that you're that hard to understand. It's just that you make yourself hard for others not to understand you."

Ruis said with a slight smile, hard to be noticed.

" I wonder what hell he faced that day, if we are missing her then what about him?"

Her voice was low then usual.

It was night down with the sun fully set and the moon has arisen now.

They both feel some one was watching them as Ruis get up and started seeing his surroundings. In a corner of a tree, he saw a strange man, he narrowed his eyes but it was gone now.

" What wrong?"

She asked with curious tone.

" Nothing."

He said while continuing.

" We need to go now. It's dark."

As she extended her hand for him to grabbed and pick her up and they started walking towards the camp. Suddenly Sara felt as if someone had grabbed her hair.

" Ah!"

" Are you alright? What's wrong?"

He turned back but no one was there.

" Huh?"

He looked back at her as he saw her hanging in the air as if someone was trying to choked her but wasn't visible to them.

" What!?"

He try to help but as he moved hefelt a force in his body and within seconds he fell down as if someone was crushing him with it's weight. With blood coming from his mouth.

~ W– What is going on?

His body was giving up as he was losing his conscious. As his eyes were half closed and within that Sara felt down.

Suddenly the place started to change as the floor become water with a white fog as the man was standing calmy.

The creatures which were invisible in normal eyes were now visible. With one of them being a giant lizard type with a head of a two snake and the other one was multiple yellow eyes monster with multiple tentacles with spikes.

As they saw man they started running from him but the man said extended his arm pointed his index finger at them and a energy formed in it as he shoots at one and then the other. They got blasted and vaporized as they were hit with beams.

He then went to them as he raise his arm towards them and started reciting in an ancient language.

" Oh Lord who loves the world and it's people. Please let the light flow in your people."

With that Ruis started coughing as he opened his eyes and saw the scene.

He now understand what Ender was saying, in the end he wasn't wrong.

" Who are you? Why did you save us?"

He said with puzzlement look on his face.

" The answers will be respond in time. "

As he gives him a unknown card which Ruis takes it.

For Sara she started coughing too and slowly opening her eyes. Ruis runs towards her, as he was looking at her. The man say from behind.

" Some lies are better than truth that's why they're forgetten from history."

With that the place changed to normal and the man disappeared.

" What's happening?"

Ruis murmured to himself. As Sara was awaken now.

" Let's go."

She said with soft tone.

As they started walking towards the camp.
