Chapter 7: Stranger Danger 2

It was nightfall already the timeline was very different from the world, Felix stood staring at the beautiful sky, he was holding a mug with coffee in it. He took a sip from it.

Felix: aah (he exclaims)

Smith: what do you wanna talk about with me?

Felix: coffee? I brew it myself...(he asks stretching the mug glass cup to smith)

Smith: thanks am good,( smith stare at the dark sky he notices the was full of stars and far different from where he was coming from.

"This place is a like a mistake" he could feel his subconscious say but he can't admit that yet.) How long have you lived here?

Felix: since I start to age...that would be like 30 years ago, am 86 now...got trapped here when I was 56.

Smith: what do you mean by trap? Why didn't you go home, Sir Henry says you're gonna show us the way home by tomorrow. You can come with us too...

Felix: (sniff) there's no point in going, I lost the only loved ones I had many years ago

(smith looks at the man pitifully, losing a family who has been with you is painful. He doesn't know what it feels like to be among a family. at first, he thought he was the only one until when he met his crew who change him a bit.. though they were not his real family they took him in like one.) "oh please don't give me that look, they didn't die I just lost connection with them years back because I can't go home. I couldn't return to them. You're single?"

Smith: yes.

Felix: .(he raises his eyebrows in disbelief) pretty hard to believe.

Smith: (chuckles softly) why can't you leave for your family?

Felix: like I said there's no point in going... besides someone has to stay behind to protect mankind from afar...(sips from his coffee then sigh heavily,) many years back, at that time I was an engineer, my team and I carried on a project on an infrastructure site in this town, we were given the contract by the federal government ( he pause for a while, then continue) I didn't take the contract because of the capitals I would gain from it...there was another motive.

Smith: what other motive? [ a quizzical expression plastered across his face]

Felix: I heard this town holds so many treasures worth more than money. treasure that has a path to both life and death.

Smith: what was that?

Felix: I didn't get the full description before searching for it back then.

Smith : did you find anything?

Felix: ( eyes brighten) oh, yes I did find. It was a key, with two sides, one with an almond eye in the middle. Over the years I came to understand what I took. I couldn't return to my loved one because of it. (Eyes dim, as he said to bring up his painful past that kept torturing him every day. He couldn't get the whole incident off his chest for years.. it's his fault and he can't bear to forgive himself.) we were ambushed by strange people, I was the only one that survive because the forest took me. When I woke up I felt like a new being with a heavy heart. ( he chuckles and looks at smith) what did you take?

Smith: what do you mean?

Felix: I took half of the key and you took one of the rest two, right?

There was silence for a while, and even though his story was interesting to hear smith doesn't like where it was heading, suddenly he felt a strange sensation moving inside of him, he staggered back but manage to pull himself together, Felix watching without lending a hand.

Smith: (slowly) I don't know what you're talking about, I had a long day. pardon me but I will be taking my leave now if you're done. (turn to leave)

Felix: (grab him by the wrist) everyone is gonna die, all of you. You're no longer in the town but another world known as the dynamic world...a world that is not meant for people like us, the road I saw you guys earlier on, led on straight to them.

Smith:(turn to the old man) who?

Felix: your pulse is slow. you're feeling something, cold?

Smith: it's way more than that, I think I have a low advantage in feeling myself, but I can manage.

Felix: these people are really dangerous and it's up to you to make peace with them, even if you return the treasure it's useless because it will never leave you.

Smith: why not?

Felix: you did something very stupid and so irresponsible, you took action like I did years back.

Smith: tell me!

Felix: you made a covenant with it, sooner or later they would come to you all.

Smith gasps as he wakes up by a loud thud from the door, he opens his eyes to see Felix who was waking them up, and behind him were the ladies all pack up.

Frank: what's going on?

Felix: (sniff) I need you all to leave right now it's dawn ( he said under his breath as he paced from one end to the other packing stuff.

Michael: you said until sunrise.

Felix: if you don't leave now, you're gonna regret rejecting my offer, cause they are close.

( he walks out, and they trail behind him. The man led them into a storage room. Walk to a storage cart move it aside and open a door that leads to a tunnel) leave now!

(He said with gritted teeth, as sweat rolled down his cheeks, the team was tense as they had no idea what the f*ck is going on. but judging from their speculations something isn't right. They troop in) and never think of turning back! ( smith was the last to go in, the man grip him by the wrist and open his hand then place half key in his hand) keep it safe, find the other half. if it falls on the other hand not only will the Kariba's die but everyone else( he pushes smith in and closes the door. He arrange the storage cart. He rushed into the room packed up the mats and arrange the room like no one was in before.

(Loud thud from the main entrance door, foreign chatting outside. The door was broken down revealing a few people. they were clad with leaves.

Around their neck, arm, wrist and ankle were covered with beads. Their face was painted with two different colors they had six strips on each side of their cheeks. Their ears, nose, and lips were covered with tons of rings. Their aggressive entering change the motion of the room. They were more than 30 all men, a tall strong muscular who's the leader of these strange people approached Felix

Leader: וואו זענען זיי? ( meaning: where are they?)

Felix: Kariba's [he mutters under his breath] what're you talking about? ( he reply using English accent)

(The leader guy laughs, he turns back and with great force hit Felix with a wooden weapon covered with sharp metals the old man lost his balance and fell, his face hitting the bare ground as it leaves an instant bruise and blood flowing out his]

Karibas: Hanhi! Hanhi! (They chatted hailing the leader's name, and the old man crawl on the floor. He spits out blood he was badly hurt. The leader spread his hand wide nodding his head acknowledging his name being praised while backing the man)

Felix: you?.... זון פון אַ הור (meaning: son of a bitch, on hearing his voice the leader turn with a frown, and he raise his hand as a sign for the crowd to stop chanting, the leader squatted down close to the man, he gripped him by the collar) מחוצף( meaning: bastard) *he curses under his breath*

Hanhi: איך גע (meaning: I find it difficult to understand why you still understand our language)

*He signals the crowd to search the house*

איך האָב דיר געזאָגט אַז קיינער וועט ניט זיין ביי דיר ווען די מאַכט איז ניטאָ. איך וויסן? וועמען האסטו עס איבערגעגעבן.די ביימער האבן מיר געז

(meaning: I told you no one will be by you when the power is gone. I know. who did you hand it over to..the trees told me)

Felix: האַלטן פאַרדאָרבן דעם מענטשן. איר פירן זיי דעם אומרעכט וועג( meaning: stop corrupting these people, you're leading them the wrong way)

Hanhi: איר טאָן ניט האָבן אַ זאָגן אין דעם .. ניט מער ווייַל בלויז די וואָס זענען מיינדפול גענוג צו טראַכטן זיי זענען דער מלך. זיי וועלן ווערן מלך ( meaning: you don't have a say in this.. not anymore, cause only the ones who are mindful enough to think they're the king.. will become king) אויב איך געפֿינען עפּעס וואָס איז נישט גלייַכן דעם וועלט. איך וועל נישט ספּער איר און קיין פון זיי( meaning: if I find anything that doesn't match this world.. I won't spare you and not any of them)

Felix: דו האסט דאס שוין לאנג געוואלט טאן( meaning: you've been wanting to do that a long time ago)

Hanhi: לעסאָף קומען. זייַן געווינען-געווינען, טאַקע איך פארגעסן ניט פֿאַר איר( meaning: and that day has finally come.. it's a win-win, oh I forgot not for you) * he laughs raucously* a guy ran to the leader with an eye spectacle, the leader took it from him, observing and sniffing it. He smile and look s at the old man) דאָס קוקט נישט אויס ווי דיין, זאג מיר ווו זיי זענען און איך וועל לאָזן איר זיין. איך פאַרלירן מיין געדולד ...(meaning: this doesn't look like yours, you tell me where they are and I will let you be.

Felix: I have nothing to say

Hanshi: As you wish *he used the wood to hit the man on his head, the man drops dead instantly. He spat blood on the ground frowning he turns to the crowd. * געפֿינען זיי !!!* (meaning: find them) he shouted in annoyance.
