Deceitful Eyes

Candles, candles

Red, yellow, orange, blue, pink, different colours

That's all they could see on the floor, some looked like they were floating

"What kind of creepy place is this?", Marrisa's dad, Mr. Brown asks Marrissa

"I'm speechless dad" Marrissa says and looks at her dad with obvious fear in her eyes

They then notice the absence of the old woman and they look around

Suddenly, the candles go out

No one put them out, it just went out...

"Hello", Marissa calls out

"Hello oo, hello mam, have you forgotten you brought us here!!, Marissa shouts

"Shhh, be patient young one", the voice of the old lady is heard but still no sight of her...

Suddenly, the lights come back on

But this time around, there are not candles, they are lanterns

The candles had been replaced with lanterns so quick

"They were more than hundred candles, how were thy replaced quickly", Mr. Brown asks Marissa

The lanterns were not colourful but all identical, rusty brown

The old lady then walks in but they don't see her, as she was behind them

She then sits on a stool

"Hmm", the old lady says and clears her throat

Marissa and her dad jump in fear

"How long have you been standing here", Mr. Brown asks the old woman who is currently sitting on a stool.

Then they notice the stool she was sitting on was not balanced

"Your stool is not balanced, you could fall", Marissa tells the old woman

The old lady ignores her act of kindness

"Sit", the old lady commands them

They look around and see that there is no chair

"I told you earlier not to trust your eyes, sit down!!", the old woman commands

"But ma", Marissa dad tries to argue

"Sit !!", she cuts him off

They immediately sit like obedient dogs, and to their surprise, there was actually a chair

It felt somehow like a sofa, it was really comfortable

but that somehow makes them even more afraid of where they entered.

The old woman then clears her throat

"The boy you are looking for is not an ordinary boy, he was taken from the land of 'Lamron' and fused with a human blood, and that is why he is like this", the old woman tells them

But what she said, to them feels like gibberish.

"What do you mean, he's perfectly human to me, apart from the fact that we never see his eyes" Marrisa says refusing to accept the old woman's story.

Her brain could not process the kind of information she had gotten, it to her was 'total nonsense'.

"Have you wondered why he never lets you see his eyes?" the old woman asks and smiles as she knows somehow Marissa believes her but is being defensive

"He said he had some injury like thing, well..." Marissa says, still trying to argue.

"Well injury you say, and you have not seen it just once" The old woman asks and gives a small frown

"He would not let me", Marissa answers and then touches her chin as she really could not explain that

"Hehehe, the boy has silver eyes..." The old woman says emphasising on 'silver eyes'

"Wow, really, that's amazing and rare", she tells her dad who has not said a word since the ' chair incident'

"That's not something he should hide, I really think he..." Marissa continues but is cut of by the old woman

"SILENCE! His eyes are Jewels, they can kill, they can destroy and they can change things for the better, she says to them

There is a short silence

Marissa then breaks the silence with her laughter

The laughter made the old woman tilt her her head to the left a little and look at her strangely

"OK, you guys are funny, I don't know what kind of tricks you are playing or where the cameras are, but you have tried, wow, bravo" Marissa says and claps

"Dad let's leave here, I have seen this on the TV before, let's go", Marissa tells her her dad who still has not said a word

She stands up from her, well, 'invisible chair'

"And good work on the chair, that's a really good trick" she tells the old lady and then dusts her dress

Her father stands up too, still silent, they both leave the chair

They search for the exit but they don't really know how to leave there

"You don't know what you are getting yourself into by looking for that boy", the old lady warns them

"He's our family, we have to look for him", Marissa's dad, Mr. Brown finally speaks

"Hehehe", she laughs at Mr. Brown's sudden talk

"If you are looking for the exit, there it is", she says and points to the left

Then, they see a door and they walk to it and try to open the door but it was not opening

"I told you not to trust your eyes, there, the door is next to it" she says and points to the right side of the door.

"Where?", they ask in unison

"Don't trust your eyes just pass it and you will go to the other side." the woman advises them.

They pass what looked like a wall near the door and they leave

"Hahaha, humans and their curiosity, humans and their stubbornness, humans", she says and shakes her head

"Well, it's their fate.." the old lady says

The old lady gets up from her unstable chair and walks to the door opposite the fake door.

It is a white door with a black door knob, and yes the door is real

She opens the door and walks into what looks like an office.

But as soon as she walks in, she changes, her hair moves from white, dull and rough like texture to black, shiny and silky texture.

Her face moves from wrinkled to smooth and glowing

She red lipstick on

Her eyes moved from brown to blue

She is taller now, having nice legs

She changed from her, ragged gown to a nice red, v- necked, armless gown that defined her curves.

Her gown had a nice split in front.

so I guess you can say she is stunning

she sits on her chair and then sees a lady sitting on the bench at the other side

"Mrs. Diwne", she calls put to the lady

the lady snaps out of her mini-mind travel as she had zoned out

"Miss Rosy, are you back?", Mrs, Diwne asks and earns a 'duhh' kind of look from Miss Rosy (old woman)

"As you can see I am, so you said you are looking for..." she asks waiting for her response and bites her lips

"James, James ma, I am looking for James, he ran away from home" Mrs. Diwne answers while fiddling with her fingers.

"He did..?" Miss Rosy asks her, pretending to not know at all

"Yeah..., well see he has daddy issues and his mom is late, he had just moved here recently so he has no friends, he's like so fragile and I realy don't want anything bad to happen to him, he's my nephew and I had promised his mum to ..." Mrs Diwne trys to explain but Miss Rosy was not so interested in all the details

"Enough woman, I know who he is and where he is, but do you really want to find him?", Miss Rosy asks and points at Mrs. Diwne

Mrs. Diwne looks at her in confusion because to her what Miss Rosy had just said sounded creepy to her.

"What do you mean", Mrs. Diwne asks, feeling really confused.

"Do you really want to find James?", Miss Rosy asks Mrs. Diwne while looking for a form of assurance in her eyes

"I said I do really want to find him and I'll do whatever it takes", Mrs Diwne says and gives her that assurance

"Do you believe in the paranormal?", Miss Rosy asks again checking if she knows what she is getting into."

"Yes i do, personally I think science can't explain everything", she replies Miss Rosy

"Good, follow me" Miss Rose says, being already satisfied with her answers

Then the Miss Rosy opens that white door and goes in

Mrs. Diwne follows

So then, the old woman changes to her through form

"Wait, how did you..." Mrs. Diwne trys to ask about her transformation

"Silence!!, do you want to find James?", The old woman (Miss Rosy) asks and frowns at her

"I do, I do, I really do", Mrs. Diwne, replies

"So are you like a side kick or a spiritual goddess or something", Mrs. Diwne asks feeling a little excited about the whole 'paranormal experience'.

"I told you to be SILENT! Speak only when I tell you to speak", The old woman warns Mrs. Diwne again.

She nods her head in agreement

"Sit!!", the old woman commands.

"Where?", Mrs, Diwne ask as she sees no chair at all

"On the chair" the old woman answers and points at her back

She looks but sees no chair

"Sit now!", the old lady commands with obvious anger in her tune

She immediately sits and to her surprise there was actually a chair

The old lady walks to an angle of the room and gets a small bowl made with clay

She walks back to mrs. diwne

"Take this bowl, look into it and call James", the old woman instructs Mrs. Diwne

She wanted to question the old lady but has been told to not speak until she is told to

she takes the bowl

and stares at the bowl wondering what sort of sorcery it was.

"Don't waste time, look inside and call him now" The old woman tells Mrs. Diwne

Mrs. Diwne then looks into it with all focus

"James", she shouts while focusing inside the bowl.

Then James appeared, it was like she was looking at a two-way mirror

she wondered for am minute, how James appeared so quickly, even WiFi could not top that

But then she becomes sad as she does not like what she sees

James was on the chair and there was a strange looking man, very huge, with a hunch back with him doing what looks like an experiment on James

"James!!!",she says in shock forgetting the warning she was given earlied

Then James dissapears , the bowl then cracks

"Did I not warn you, don't speak until I tell you to", the old woman says in anger at her disobedience and stupidity

"I am sorry ma", Mrs. Diwne apologizes

"Stand up!", the old woman exclaims

"We are going on a mission", she finishes
