Chapter 17 : Elia Part (7) Don't Look Into Her Hallow Eyes.

The door of the room was opened, and the old man; Don entered with a few of the villagers along, Who seemed to be very angry and dissatisfied. For once, Joey felt that they are showing their true faces.

Joey stared at them without blinking, the look of defiance and fearlessness was showing on his face to everyone, that sharp look made them even confused.

Joey was sitting in the bed with Zain next to him and he was awake too but feeling a little dizzy. But overall, he's much better than before.

They were holding flaming wooden sticks، in their hands, these flames reflected evil on their dark faces, As several men entered, walked towards them, and caught Joey making him stand on his legs violently and walk along with them, He tried to resist a little, but he knew he can't stop them, so he let it go. and others did the same with Zain who started to be conscious enough while his face turned dark and his lips curled into a line with frown brows, Which showed the folds between his eyebrows.

The men of the village took them to a mountain located almost in the middle of the village, and when they reached some hole in the middle of the mountain, they entered it and the men pushed both Joey and Zain violently to the ground.

Joey looked around to find all his friends there tieded up with ropes.

and they tieded Joey and Zain with ropes too.

A man kneeled down on his knee in front of Joey to face him, "Oh man, couldn't you just drink the damn water while you were silent like your friends, they would have died without any pain while fulfilling their dreams ... And now they will die that agonizing and ugly death only because of your insistence "

Joey raised his head and looked at the man shocked and angry, then closed his eyes as he recognized that there was no use in talking. So he stayed shut and looked to the ground. biting his lips.

When they finished they went out of the cave.

After Joey confirmed that all the villagers had gone out.

He turned to Zain who was leaning against his back with the same rope, "Hey .... are you fully awake now?"

Zain slowly opened his eyes, "Yeah ... yeah .... those guys who dare to drug someone from the San family! My body is aching!"

"Because you are from the San family, you have been drugged!" Joey said back to him.

"Stop talking ... my head is going to explode on its own!" Aran opened his eyes and said in annoyance as he raised his head, "Alicia ... Ryou .."

Alicia said as she raised her head, her reddish brown hair falling on her face as her face redden "What happened to us ..."

"Our spring dreams, they were just a mirage to entrap us here .... so what ... are they going to sell our organs !!!" Ryou panicked and didn't know what was the worst idea among ​​the endless bad ideas that were in his head now.

"Selling organs ?! ... What?...do you think we are still in the country and have been kidnapped in an abandoned factory or something? ..." Aran laughed sarcastically, "The least they will do is to sell your organs ..."

"What ... What? !!! So what is the worst thing that could happen to us ?! Joey speaks, What's the matter ... What will happen to us ..!?"

"Did you not hear him... He said we will die. And it will be a painful and the ugliest death ... This is what will happen. Are you happy now?" Alicia said while trying to remove the hair strains on her face by moving her face left and right.

"Just calm down for a second ... all of you please ..." Joey said in anger, trying to pull himself together.

Zain looked around for a bit, "Am I imagining ... or is it getting darker?"

"What?" They all looked around.

"It's true .... the light is gradually disappearing," Alicia said with her voice shaking a bit darkness began to gather in one spot in the middle of the cave, Everyone was in a state of panic, as they froze in fear without any movement.

That darkness began to converge into something relatively massive darkness and at the end appeared a skeleton with its cloak and a silver ax, Yes it's Elia.

" She is here ..." Confirmed Joey.

" Who!" Ryou said panicking.

" Don't look her in the eyes for a long time!" Joey shouted warning them.

" Soon we will get out of here.." he said closing his eyes and trying to look away. and so did the rest with his lead.

Elia walked with slow steps towards them as they are frozen and unable to talk as they are shivering in fear.

Every step she took was an earthquake under them, A coldness began to spread with dark energy in the air, making the atmosphere gloomy, muffled, and cold.

She looked at them with her hollow eyes, no one could know what this creature is thinking, her hollow black eyes and skeleton body with this black cloak, her cold breath, and massive shape beside them. they didn't know what would be her next step. The situation was unbelievably terrifying.

Their breaths were loud due to their fear and panic.

Suddenly she turned and took a sudden step to where Joey's sitting jointed, When he sensed that there was something in front of him emitting coldness and frightening energy, he shrank his body, while trembling in fear.

Joey looked away to avoid looking her in the eyes but while he was about to turn his face she caught his head and cupped his face, Joey was shocked by this violent and sudden reaction he opened his eyes wide and his heart started beating rapidly in his chest he was extremely afraid. and sweat dropped over his white pale skin, he couldn't escape. now he is only a prisoner in Elia's hollow black eyes.

All of them watched her as she raises her other hand that held the silver ax, as she was going to slay him. Alicia screamed:

" Hey, you !! Stop !"

Aran tried to get free from his ropes as he held secretly a sharp rock which is picked from the ground, to cut through it but it took a lot of time if it goes on like this it will be too late as they are joined with many layers of ropes.

" You! Let my friend go! you demon!" Ryou yelled which got Elia's attention this time for his bad luck.

She really left Joey, stood up, and walked towards Ryou slowly.

"She is coming!!!" Ryou said gulping his saliva.

" Shit!" Zain cursed " You ...come here...you know me right?"

She looked at Zain, as the new source of the so made him the new goal and walked towards him.

" What... Alicia do something why are you this calm you are not even trembling! Even though you are beside me I don't feel your presence at all, Did you faint!? " Ryou said trying to turn his head left and right towards her.

" What are you talking about you idiot! Alicia is right next to me !" Aran said in a high voice and angry tone.

" What..then who...." Ryou looked beside him, and was surprised, " who are the hell are you!!"

Elia used her ax and this time she put it very close to Zain's nick that it made a small scratch that bleed a little

" Any time now !" Zain yelled.

" Napi!!!!" Joey called out highly.

Suddenly Elia raised the ax and landed it on them in the same time a giant black circle was drawn under them like a black deep lake they all fell in it and they disappeared in a second before Elia. Just as her ax landed on the ground with a loud sound with drops of blood.
