Chapter 5 - If nature refused us: The inner strength

I was watching at the screen when I heard the voice of Kabir asking Veda if she was OK as she had been crying looking at me. I wondered why she was crying when she spoke that I was emotion less as I was not even flinching when they were being killed brutally. This was when her voice seemed to be the voice of my elder sister.

It was 8 November 2112 when we all were sitting in our living room watching a so called emotional movie. My sister was continuously crying watching the scenes of love being crushed by war. I was not able to find anything to cry neither my dad nor my mom were even sobbing.

She was teasing me for not crying and being an emotion less person when I argued that I was just not crying because it was just an animated story of a war which happened around 200 years ago.

Then a sound of a building being collapsed came from the window. As our mom and dad went to see the damage, I was with her as she was washing her tears I heard something bang the door I pulled her from the sink and rushed to our mom and dad. I was good that I was with her as I was not there then she would not have heard that sound. We jumped out of the window but our father went back to take the bag which I had kept for such apocalyptic situation as I watched too many movies. I too went to take the bag when as I grabbed the bag I saw a cheetah at the window I ran to close the windows when my dad came between the cheetah and me. I was safe but my father's left hand was bitten off by the cheetah. Even then we managed to get out of the house before it collapsed. We were saved but our dad died in front of us due to loss of blood and he suffered rabis which had broken me.

Then on the way to safety our bus was attacked by a group of Buffaloes and cheetahs. Though my sister and I were saved I saw my mother get killed by the cheetahs.

Later on the journey It was not much except for a few more attacks out of which on the last one we were on a bridge when we saw a group of eagles which was circling above us though we both managed it alive all the others were dead. After this we found another crew but unfortunately I managed to reach it because the only eagle which free to kill one from me and my sister, chose to kill her. I heard my beloved sister's screens till she died I also saw her heard being pulled out of her body even when she was alive.

After this incident a boy who used to cry because his sister was just messing with him became a person who didn't even flinch when he saw a live head being cracked by a bull.

As I finished thinking this I was woken up by a signal from the other side of the screen which showed that the whole team had died.
