Chapter 6

The three men went to pull the girl's poor body into the lake.

„Let us pray for an innocent soul," the pastor preached.

The girl's body was pale and in some parts blue.

Three girls, two chests, two pits, which of us will be the next victim, no one knows.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My father and brother went to the forest for wood, I preferred to help my mother with tearing the feathers of hens.

„Another one," she handed me the headless hen.

I honestly don't like having to take part in a slaughterhouse, but maybe this is my last. And I don't want my mother to have much.

„Can I help you too?" My little sister asked me.

„Sandra, no. You can cook, go play in the yard, "I smiled at her and she smiled back at me.

„Lia, please go put the wood log in the oven so that the fire doesn't go out."

I nodded and went to the cottage.

I opened the small oven door and stared at the fire for a moment.

Today's fire lesson ...

I was a little scared. What can be associated with fire?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I immersed myself in the realm of dreams. Unfortunately, my thoughts were with only one word that he revealed to me today.

Fire.

I heard a very familiar sound, which for me means like death on the horizon. Only three girls were standing on the road.

Go to the meadow and each of you will start a fire and throw a stone at it ...

So all three of us went to the meadow. I gathered the radish I took in my hands along the way.

I started the fire very quickly, threw a stone at it and waited for what would happen next.

One didn't work at all.

„Here's a dry threshing floor, put this under it and put it there when you catch this dry spruce," I explained.

She did as I told her, and after a while she grabbed the rubble I had given her.

Now select the stone from there ...

I stopped a little. Should I put my hand in the fire? The two girls tried. I went to the lake and took water into the dry, hollow bark.

I put out the fire with water and picked up a stone that was only a little warm.

AnnaSalia, go home ...

I decided to listen, but one girl's scream stopped me and I turned around.

One girl was on fire.

„For God's sake !!!" I ran to her.

„It started burning as I suddenly pulled a stone out of the fire."

I did not hesitate and took the bark and went to get water quickly. I poured water on it, but the fire did not go out.

She fell helplessly to the ground and no longer moved. The stench of burnt meat hit me right in the nose.

The other girl cried unbelievably.

I knelt by the girl's scorched body.

„I wanted to help you, but I couldn't," I cried as well.

„I hope nothing hurts you anymore," were my last words.

I stood up and went to the blonde girl and shook her hand.

„That'll be fine, he's definitely in a better place," I told her.

„I-I'I did-dn't w-want it-t to-o b-bur-rn," she tried to say a coherent sentence between crying.

We came to the road.

„Go home and lie down," I told her, and she nodded.

I did the same and opened my eyes after a while.
