Chapter 7.

Suddenly Luke realized that Oscar was at the end of all, remembering that he once told him that the last are really the first, and stopping to look at his surroundings, he could see that the trees were showing the shape of a hand in red and another in white, and then, looking into Oscar's eyes he realized that he was in the middle of a ritual to which they had not been invited... but the question that was going through his mind was: ¿at what cost did Oscar intervene in this way without letting them know or consulting first if they really wanted to be in there? In that way, when he tried to take another path, a barrier did not let him do it, as if time did not let him cross something beyond what he was already following, so he had to take the path again, he sighed and looked at the stars imploring that this madness would end soon...

But suddenly, Oscar stops and says: it is a trap, we have fallen into a trap, someone wants our essence or maybe it is our energy, up to this moment I have not been able to understand it…He had realized that we are in the lion's mouth.

Felix suddenly began to sweat and then looking at his friends, who in turn looked at him expectantly of what was happening, he tells them that he is grateful to be able to live and share with you, but really he has no mercy, he wants her back and he will not allow us to be near her, then, his body rose to 6 feet high and exploded, but it did not explode in flesh, blood, or brains, there were only ashes in red and white tones, and when those ashes touched the ground they formed a phrase: I am still here and I will come for you...

That group of friends ran as fast as they could, some of them entrusted themselves to what they believed, others just kept running for their lives, but whatever was hunting them that night or had what it wanted, none of them could get out of that spectral barrier, because they were like the sweet nectar of the vine, tempting and very coveted.

Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe not, Reena managed to see a yellow light that pointed in another direction to which they were running and turning to see her companions and friends who were coming behind, she made a sign for us to follow her and she was able to cross the spectral barrier in which they were captive... and once outside the barrier, they realized that a year had passed, that is, one night for them had been the loss of a friend and a year of life; it was then that they separated and each one returned to their house to realize that many people had already left the world and had passed to a better plane; Reena found that her mother Sam, had drowned in the pond where many years ago she was also about to die, when she opened the door of the house everything was still in order and the silence was deafening, on the walls there was dust, cobwebs and the notebooks were pale; the more she walked, the tears ran through her eyes, and as they did, she grew weaker... and falling to her knees in front of the stairs she lowered her head and asked the nothingness: ¿why do you have to take everything from me? ¿Am I not worthy of living a lie? ¿Why does my mother have to die? ¿Why does my father die too? ¿Why does Felix lose his life and why did one night in that place become a year? ¿What have I done to commit this crime? And then she only heard her own breathing, she realized that she was completely alone, there was no one to fool anymore, no one was going to tell her what to do or what to wear, but above all you could feel that loneliness is a good friend, it listens to you and does not give an opinion, it observes you and does not interrupt, loneliness was her everything now...
