Chapter 3: Room of Beings

[At the time when she was still falling]
[As she plunge through something that felt like an icy cold lake, only going icier and frostbitingly cold down, “Cold Cold [shivers]”she was grabbed and tugged by a bunch of black shadowed hands. “Eeeyyaaa!!! No… No… what’s all these? Urk…” They were all tangled up in a messed and she couldn’t see the source of it. They touched her in uncomfortable places and she squirmed and wriggled furiously against those inhumane, cold and writhing shadowed hands.

It was like sleeping in a nest of snake and they were all slithering up and down her body. Her body was immobilized; her voice could not resonate out of her voice box. She could only scream in her head. //“Yuck! Get away! Get away from me!!! Go away…….”// Her puny voice was left unheard. She trembled in silence with silent protests. Tears cascaded down unknowingly. She has never felt this terribly afraid of anything before and silent tears streamed her tear-stained face.]

[She fell through like several layers of thick black billowing black clouds, enduring the humiliation. She started to pray hard and closed her eyes. However, she couldn’t close out those images. She had closed her eyes but what she saw in her mind was exactly the same as the outside. [Open eyes and closes them again] [Eyes wide open] //“Why? Why couldn’t I not see them! Doshite? I don’t wanna see them!”//

[Just then, the hands started diminishing in great numbers and then, only one hand was still left on her forehead. "That" hand exuded a warmth for only a minute second and disappeared as fast as it has come. She heaved a great sigh of relieve and the black ominous clouds over her head cleared up too. She could finally get a clear bearing of her surroundings. She was still falling though, but now in another dimension. This place was as hot as a volcano island, with the sky a deep shade of vermilion and a red moon hanging upside down. “Gek! Hot Hot Hot! Now what again? Am I going to go through something so tormenting again? I dun wanna! [Flapping her hands as if they were imaginary wings] Up! Up! Don’t keep falling! Eh wait! That black thing is gonna wait for me up there again! Shit! Which way should I go? Ahhhh crap!”

[Just then, she saw a little lighted room ahead of her. Piqued by curiosity, she swam forward and held onto the ledge of the little room. [Entered on tiptoes] // “Wow, this room is beautiful, with jewelries donning the entire interior and silky cloths draping over elegant sofas and a high-ceiling mirror."// She walked towards the mirror and gazed intently into it. The mirror reflected six wings behind her back, and one of her eyes had turned gold while the other remained blue. [Turned behind to gaze at her back] “Eh wierd, there are no wings behind me, not even a feather but there were 6 wings!…” [Turns to face the mirror again but this time she saw herself perfectly.] “Eh! Now the image is back to myself again. Hmmm. This mirror is weird.Does this mirror shows the future or something like that?”

[Took a quick glance around the room. Saw another antique mirror but it was covered with cobwebs and the glass was heavily tarnished.] [Sweeps away cobwebs. Stares intently into it again.] “Ack! ...Yuck!” [Jumps back] now she cold see her own skull, with those empty sockets and such.] [She was so disgusted by the hideous look but she couldn’t glance away. Something was drawing her nearer. She raised her hands to touch the cold-paneled mirror and then, she slipped through and entered a dark dark chamber.] "Ehhhh!!!!!" [echoes fade into the still air]
