Sory for my poor english. But I was asked to make this affort.
After
walking a bit, Selena stopped. It was the same building. She had seen it so
many times that it was simply not possible to make a mistake. Every time she closed
her eyes ...
- Do you
really want this? – said a voice behind her. The girl shivered and pressed her
hands to her chest.
- When do you
leave me alone? - Her jaw clenched so hard nodules were on her cheeks.
- Naive.
Do you really believe in that? - sounded right in front of her face.
Her skin
was chill. After waiting a few seconds, she took a step inside. Ahead were a
few dark and cold concrete floors, lifeless windows. Although most of the glass
was still intact, several upper floors were completely destroyed by fire. Destroyed
windows, like black eyes of the unknown beast looked at the tiny figure of a
girl standing at the main entrance.
No more
thinking, Selena pushed the front door, and it opened without much resistance. In the face blew cold. The legs gave way due to emotional tension and
sleepless nights. Tranquilizers prescribed by doctors have not helped , and the
night turned into waiting for another dose of sleeping pills. She could not continue this way anymore.
- It`s cool
in here, don`t you think? - she heard from behind and the front door shut with
force. If Selena hasn`t been depleted to the point of exhaustion, she would
undoubtedly have jumped in surprise and fear. But not now.
By
trembling hands she turned on the flashlight she brought and took a few steps
inside. The silence seemed full outside, now became tangible. It became even
more noticeable because of the voices sounded around her. Selena never
understood the meaning of the expression "a ringing silence", but
now, it seemed, she began to understand the true meaning of those words. So
quiet that the silence is almost enveloped her. Making a few steps, she heard
a broken glass under her feet. Hands haven`t obeyed, and her legs were more like crazy springs that flexion and extension by the will of some mad
puppeteer. The girl was scared and indifferent at the same time. She already
didn`t understand nothing, she just went ahead, fighting the rising nausea. She
somehow knew that up there, she will get rid of everything that was going on
in her head.
- And
you're the brave. Aren’t you afraid that you will not like what you're looking
for? Unless, of course, you will find it, - laughing around her was
unbearable. It circled around as if it were running some crazy clowns from the
old carnival, where she was once a child. Scary, scary clowns with their
blood-curdling laugh.
After a few
flights of stairs, she stopped, trying to overcome a popping-up heart out of
her chest. Leaning on the railing, she felt her legs give way. For a moment
she almost lost her balance and if her hands hadn`t tightly clutching the
handrail, then, most likely, she would have fallen.
- Just
close your eyes, is it so hard to understand? - over and over again the voice
were saing.
Standing a
little more and breath, she went on. Step by step, pushing her own unruly body forward. "A few floors .. just a little bit"- she repeated almost in a
whisper, fearing her own voice, that wasn`t similar to the one used to be. Ears buzzed
harder and bouncing light from the flashlight was even more nauseating. On the
steps began to come across signs of a fire. At first, it was only a few charred
pieces of tissue, then here and there were traces of the tragedy. Suddenly
dizzy so much Selena led the way. She held a hand to lean against the
railing, but, apparently, not calculating the place , her hand clutching the emptiness. For a moment she thought that she froze in weightlessness, and then
with tremendous rate she began to fall . Putting both hands toward the unknown, she expected to feel the pain just by them, but she made another mistake - her
hands slipping past the bars and she hit
her face with full force right on one of the metal rods. Her eyes flashed stars, and her head exploded.
- Clever!
- Voice swirled around in a solemn dance.
Not knowing
what was happening, it felt like something grabbed her leg and pulled down.
Turning under the influence of an unknown force, she felt stairs by her back.
Leg pulled so hard that she hit the back of the head by the next step, triggering another
outbreak.
- You see ,
it's so simple, you just have to close your eyes, - she heard from below. Then she was dragged over the two legs and her head galloped up on the stairs like an
inflatable ball. Selena moaned and then screamed. Having recovered from her own
scream she tried to open her eyes. The pain was too strong, and salty taste appeared
in her mouth. The right eye didn`t listen and remained closed. Left somehow
complied and showed stairwell, destroyed
by gluttony fire. At the same time, grabbing her strength was gone.
She tried
to lean on the arm and back up. Her head ached so hard it was not bearable any more. If all
these weeks she felt head ache from the inside, now it hurt even from outside.
Not understanding more where she was and why , Selena just crept up the stairs.
Her head throbbed with pain and only one single thought was inside of it – “just
go”. Helping herself with hands, only one floor were separating her from
the target. Now there was ash under her knees and palms. And everything
around her were more like underground darkness . It seemed there were no more
walls. No more nothing. Her mind has long abandoning her, submitting to a glimpse
of a tired mind. She just went over her hands and crawled. Now her eyes
drifted images, fragments of old memories, someones' faces , voices, and it
was not clear whether it was her imagination playing tricks on her,
whether it were them. All mixed up
in one continuous whirl. Her head was buzzing horribly .
Suddenly,
her hand touched the part of the broken door. Pushing herself to the side,
Selena crept in, turned on her back and
fell down. Her hands shook so badly that crawling became no longer possible. "Just don`t close your eyes " - the
only rule, she was living with the last few weeks. Continuing jerky breathing,
she tried to look up. She almost made it - left eye listened and looked at the starry
sky through the burned hole in the roof . The right eye didn`t open, and the
entire right half of her face seemed to become one continuous throbbing wound.
Back of the head, was all single pain too. At first, Selena has not given
importance, but now she felt that the shirt has long stuck to the body. Raising
her right hand to her face she tried to touch it, and she was horrified - the
right part of her face was badly swollen and her hand become as sticky as her
T-shirt instantly.
- Why? .. What
have I done? .. - She moaned.
- You didn`t
have to do anything. Have you ever thought we just… like it? - And again this
terrible malicious clown laughing.
After lying
a little and gaining a deep breath , she tried to roll back on her stomach.
This was reflected in a dull pain throughout whole her body. Helping herself
with her elbows and pushing naughty feet, she crawled forward. There, where it
all began.
She had to
be careful, because of many holes in the flour, made by tremendous fire. The
fire destroyed almost everything. Suddenly she felt something like something smooth and flat were under her
palm. Having brought it to the left eye, she could hardly make out it was one
of the runes. Now it doesn`t look white as moon. Now it was black and burnt .
After cleaning it at the front with the thumb, she looked on it again. Heart
sank, and nausea was not bearable and she vomited. Stomach had shrunk so much
that it seemed, her insides now turned inside out and come out through her
mouth. Cramping pain in her head became so severe that Selena had fallen on the
left side directly into a puddle that a few minutes ago, was the contents of
her stomach, and before that - her modest dinner. She pressed her legs to her
chest, her arms around her knees and cried. Tears streamed down her cheeks
mingling with the current blood from her face. Her body was shaking because
of the tormented stomach cramps and sobs that now hold back did not make sense. Her teeth were chattering, body shaking.
- Well, would
you mind to deliver us pleasure? You're a good girl, aren’t you? - was heard
just above her head. - You found something... But we kind of have not gone
away! Ho - ho - ho!
- Oh, yes!
She, she is so lovely! And so naive! - heard another voice from somewhere in
the room.
- I wish
all of you are dead ... - Selena whispered.
- Oh, yeah! And we now think that the concept of "death" applies to us unlikely! - continued the first voice.
- Because
we are - it's you! - repeated the second voice.
- And you -
we are! - laughingly repeated the first.
The skin was covered with goose bumps again, but this time it was really cold. Only now she
noticed a buzz in her head joined by a sound sobbed several times, Selena
listened. That's right - the room was full of different sounds, they now heard
everywhere. They grew and grew louder and louder. Selena looked around, but her
eyes still didn`t see nothing, as her ears distinctly heard voices swirled
around her, the clatter of dishes and steps. It looked like the life never
stopped, and all these people continue to go about their mundane chores. Now
it wasn`t the sound from her head, now they were everywhere. She even felt
the air moving from the woman passed by alongside she had heard but not seen.
"I`m going crazy " - she thought, and closed her eyes accidentally.
At the same moment Selena was hit so hard on her shoulder, that she was thrown
against the wall , and the shirt was torn in a half. Horrified, she opened her eyes again.
- You
finally decided? - she heard it almost in her ear. Again, leaping aside, Selena
pressed back against the wall.
- Come on,
do not be afraid, close your eyes, shut them already, finally, because it is
impossible not to sleep forever? - now sounded right in the front of her face. She
even felt the cold breath on the skin of a cheek. - Are you afraid?
She
clutched in her hand the rune and crawled to the balcony.
- And don`t
you know? - now another voice said from somewhere above .
- I know
... - pulling her body to the door of the balcony, barely whispered Selena .
- Of
course, you know! And why else would you come here - the voice now sounded over
her head. Selena looked up, but there was still nothing. - Come on, close your
eyes! - now the third voice came from somewhere on the right.
- I know
... - she said, and grabbed the balcony railing .
- Come on ,
surprise us? Tell us, tell us, tell us! ... And close your eyes! - voice
swirled around her , repeating the word endings and creating an echo.
- You wouldn`t leave me alone? – seating on the railing and facing the balcony door, Selena
whispered.
- We`ll
leave, of course, we`ll leave you! Just close your eyes! - the voice sounded
so close to her ear that she felt her hair moving.
- I thought
so - she whispered as she opened her left hand holding the handrail. For a
moment, she felt the weightless again. The starry sky has moved only by a
millimeter when her body rushed down towards the concrete pavement, as her
right hand continued to squeeze the found rune. Her eyes remained open.
