Darius opens his eyes and gets up, He looks at the vessel, Standing on the table, now glowing dimmer than before and Opened. Darius, looks at the time on his watch and in a hurry runs from the bottom area. he finds a way to the above ground. As he reaches the above temple, and gets back to the group. he finds Mark apart from the group looking for him. Mark sees Darius coming.
Mark - It’s something about some strange Vessel.
Darius - Yeah I saw it.
Mark - Have you taken any photos?
Darius - No.
Mark - What? (annoyingly) You had one job?
Darius - That idea never came to my mind.
Mark (sighs) - Ah! Anyways, let’s get back before our grades are cut.
Meanwhile Claire was looking for Darius and Mark.
Claire - where the hell did those two go.
Speaker - Security alert all the people are requested to evacuate the research facility as soon as possible.
Claire sees Darius and Mark approaching. A Guard on his comms asks about the situation, she was told that the containment seal is broken and is empty, she is instructed to put the student to safety due to hazardous gas leaks.
Claire - What the hell did you guys do?
Darius - I……..
Mark - We were just roaming around, nothing much I swear, tell him, Darius.
Darius - yeah….we didn’t do anything
Speaker - The class is instructed to leave the research area immediately.
Darius opens the door of his room and gets on his bed.
In deep sleep, Darius sees some visions of a sea getting filled with blood and then getting erased by Drought and filled up with water as the rain starts. And a blue creature standing alone there. Holding a red scarf.
The next morning he feels as normal as always.
Darius went back to doing his day to day routine.

Hugo waves at Darius.
Hugo - Hey Darius what’s up?
Darius (Looking back at hugo) - Hugo! You’re back.
Mark punched on Hugo’s table
Mark - Hey shithead where were you? You missed a lot.
Hugo - Yeah, sure I missed a lot, but I get to know other things as well.
Mark - Yeah, like things you wouldn’t ever be using in your life, how a rat like you get a chance to learn all the military stuff. but, I, who is the deserving Candidate didn’t get a chance to witness all those cool military stuffs.
Claire - So that you can see if aliens are real.
Mark - Precisely... Wait! what?
Claire - You're clearly underqualified cause you're dumb.
Mark (annoyingly) - Looks like the protective sister is speaking.
Hugo - Stop it Claire, and Mark I’ll definitely let you join me when I go next time, Darius are you coming?
Darius in the thought of those Agents didn’t listen.
Hugo- Hey! Darius, you here.
Darius- Ha? Yeah, definitely not my thing.... Hey guys I wanna tell you something.
Claire - What is it?
Darius - After what happened in the research Facility some agents came into my surroundings. I think they are from the AIB (Arga Investigation bureau) and they were investigating that incident.
Hugo- What…..What have you guys done?
Mark - As I said you’ve missed a lot. Anyways they didn’t come near my house. So I am safe.
Claire - And what if they come to yours, next.
Marks has a shocked and angry look
Mark- My God will always protect me.
Darius - It's all so messed up .....if something happens it would affect my family too much….. If mom finds out that I did the wrong here... m dead….. If everyone around just dies I just don't need to worry about this. SHIT. SHIT.
Mark - Dude that is insane level toxic stuff you are saying.
Claire - Anyways, that is why you guys shouldn’t put your legs in things outta your control.
Darius- Yeah…..
Claire - Don’t worry Darius, nothing gonna happen.
Claire puts a hand on Darius's shoulder.
Claire - Don't worry. it'll be alright. we are all here with you.
Darius looks at Claire and smiles.
Claire - Anyways Darius, are you free this afternoon? I want to do some shopping for my trip and none of my friends are coming so…..please.
Darius- Ha...? Where are you going?
Claire - Family trip. To Losteramus.
Mark- Why are you and this Shitty rat so lucky!!! Why not me?
Claire (Annoyingly) - SHIT SHIT, You guys don’t have anything else to say, or have you accepted that your mouth is literally a big ass.
Mark - and guess what you yourself got a really bad habit of revolving around this Darius Shitty world, You are Dariusalising, Claire, (Holds claire collor) let me cleanse this ghost of Darius from the face of your world.
Prof. enters the class and sees Mark's undisciplined behavior and suspends him from the class for a day.
SHOPPING AREA, ARDONIA CITY
3:00 PM
The concern of his dreams was etched on Darius's face as he looks at the shopping bags he is holding.
Darius - Hey. Claire I wanna tell you something.
Claire - If it’s about that void thing, I know all about it.
Darius - No…
Claire - whatever it is, save it for later. It's really important for me to buy the best of what is here.
Darius - It's important.
Claire - Not as important as this.
Darius looks at Claire, and the expression on his face gets changes as he gets angry in frustration. He threw the shopped things on the floor.
Darius - (shout) Do it yourself.
He walks away.
7:30 PM
Darius reaches his favorite spot. A high spot on a mountain, from where he can get a good view of the city to calm down his emotions probably for the moment.
He gets on the railing to look at the city. Claire comes with a Ice-creams.
Claire - Woo that much stuff was too Heavy…It’s good that the shop has a home delivery service... Hey, it's almost night, don’t you wanna go home?
Darius ignores Claire
Claire - OK tell me what was it you wanna talk about. I am listening now.
Darius ignores again.
Claire - C’mon… .Ok, which ice cream do you wanna eat? I got this butterscotch and this choco chips ice cream.
Darius stares at Claire.
Claire - Choose.
Darius takes the choco chips and starts eating.
Darius - I keep having these dreams of a sea of blood getting all drought up and then being filled with rainwater, A face of a person standing in the sea and I can see him from the shore, where I never went and it was quiet for a moment then it turns all red and it terrifies me.
Claire (after processing the statement laughed) - So that's the issue, First those dreams of a girl you never met in your life haunting you, Now this. Dream really terrifies you, you pussy. It's irrelevant to think of it.
Darius (Annoyed) - I should never have told you about this.
Claire - Listen. You consume too much horror and crime movies and games, and with your habit of sleeping late at night that must've affected your brain functioning.... It’s normal..... actually it isn't.
Darius (losing his nerves) - You see that's the problem with you.
Claire - what?
Darius - You think only you are important and everyone else is just some idiots roaming around with no problem, you think only your problem is a problem and don't even think to understand anyone other than yourself.
Claire - Dude you should really see a doctor, A psychiatrist.
Darius - I want to be with you forever but this attitude of yours just doesn’t let me.
Claire (gasp) - If you wanna be in a relationship, just ask me it's not like I will totally say yes, but, I guess, you understand what I am and what can handle me, I am a bomb. (smiles)
Darius (looking at her) - It can’t be changed, you are selfish, you only think of yourself.
Darius throws the ice cream and starts going home.
Claire - hey? What's that all about? (to herself) Is there something wrong I said or done? I guess I’ll see you after my trip.
As days passed through Darius didn’t pick a single Call from Claire, not even replied to her mails.
