"And under the great crimson moon", whispered the old lady, " in the serenity of night, there was a chaotic , disobedient heart daring to flee from it's fate."
Although the child seemed to listen but there was something that was disturbing his heart.
"But no one", she continued, "seemed to carry even a little sympathy in their hearts as it was the command of the Great Lord -"
She paused, looking at the concerned face of the little kid.
"Are you okay , my dear?", She asked softly, in the pretty premises of the great castle.
"Why does my beautiful piece of heart seem not to like the story?"
"Grandma... I am okay.." The kid spoke.
"But ..Are you gonna leave me?"
With a trembling voice the kid continued,"Because I heard my parents saying that you've little time left? Will you become a star too? like the other people say? Please don't leave me..."
The old woman smiled gently "Haha... no dear.. I am not going to the stars.. but somewhere else.. it's called the ETERNITY-"
She caughed in pain leaving the shred of blood in her rough hands. "The fate has come to take me, my dear Astra, I will be waiting for you there-"
Holding the soft hand of the beautiful kid, with a himid breeze the woman exhaled for the last time.
Astra's hand trembled as he felt the warmth vanishing from his grandmother's hand. He was confused, maybe the first time he had ever seen the death. With a shaken voice , He yelled , "Grandma--"
The boy woke up in cold sweat. The rays of light piercing through the curtains brightened his face. Taking a deep breath , he tried to calm down. No sooner had he touched the ground from the bed than a car started honking. Surprisingly his phone rang at the same time. It took him no longer to realize who it was.
He picked up the call, "Don't tell me that you were asleep toll now', said an old voice.
"Yes" replied the boy.
Oh , come on Jack! It is 10 A.M and you've been sleeping till now. The interview is at 10:30, remember?
You better come out and get in the car in 10 minutes.
"Okay, Mr. Lee", replied Jack.
The boy rushed all though not wanted to and came out of the house brushing , bathing and wearing a formal suit in exact 10 minutes.
As he got in and the car started moving Mr. Lee with bushy belated started saying, "We solved the case. I mean it is usual for me but not for you. Shouldn't you be a little joyous?
"It was mostly tour efforts. Besides I am not too invested innsuch things", said jack with the same expression.
"You mean interviews?", continued the man, "Well , it is not that important. But you know about the scale of the cold blooded murders by that bloody psychopath. You know how terrified people were. So we need to approach them through "such things' so that they could take a peaceful breath.
Suddenly Mr. Lee's phone rang. "Pick up the call for me", he said
Jack picked up the phone and after a minute he hunged up and murmured . The culprit died in the prison. He has the same infinity symbol in his body that was found in the previous cases. I don't want to say but it looks like we still have a long way to go sir"
Mr. Lee in shock replied " Yeah..Long way we go..."
