115 Mother (1/2)

This was not a dream. I simply wasn't ready to face that side of the universe; so I was trying to deny the things I've witnessed, hoping it could cause a morphine effect.

It wasn't working. That girl's 'cult' was something real.

”We don't mean harm.” Melis said.

”Whatever you are going to do to me... It is going to hurt a lot, isn't it?” I wish I could say this loudly.

”You are free to do whatever you want. We are only asking for a favor.” Melis' voice was getting calmer.

”What... do you want me to do?” I asked, without questioning my own actions. I was pushing the morals aside at this point. My desparate efforts to get everything right were proven to be useless. My only aim was to survive.

”Let me talk to him.” this voice... This was the voice of that old woman I heard previously. I couldn't see where the voice was coming from.

”Yes, mother.” Melis looked down and stepped back.

”Mother?” That word slipped out of my mouth.

”We are sorry for... alarming you so unnecessarily.” the woman said. 'Alarming' me? She must have been joking... But of course, this was no time for me to point out this absolutely colossal understatement. Without knowing what to say, or do; I nodded in an awkward manner.

”Mr. Kenan, you are a good person.” she continued. Coming from someone like her... What did this mean to me? ”We are grateful for people like you who allow the society to enjoy many great things.”

I was amazed, shocked, but mostly weirded out. The only missing thing was a gold medal around my neck.

”...and we need the help of such pure, clean blood.” she finished her sentence. I looked at Melis. She noticed me watching her and nodded, showing that she was agreeing with her 'mother'.

”Yes.” I said, and gulped.

”Although few in numbers, there are some other people like you around here.” the woman continued talking. ”We are in need of power they possess.”

”What kind of power?” I asked.

”The power that can allow us to manipulate the world around us, to make sure the mistakes we've done in our lives are not repeated.” she replied. The answer was not as clear enough as I wished.

”What do I do?” I asked.

”We need you to bring some of your students to the cafeteria.” she said. ”But don't worry, they will not be hurt. We have different plans for them.”

I almost had a stroke just by hearing it. Doing this -whatever it is they want to do- to my own students... Perhaps I had to rearrange my priorities, putting my survival after theirs.

”Yes.” I said that even though there was something completely different in my mind.

For a while, I didn't move from my spot. I just wanted to listen to the silence and process everything in my mind.

I saw Melis standing in the distance, leaning against wall; watching me without moving or saying anything. I watched her with the corner of my eye for a while, then stared directly back at her. She didn't get uncomfortable, and we kept staring at each other for a long time. Maybe we weren't talking, but I could feel that we were communicating in some way.

Eventually, she broke the silence.

”Will you believe me from now on?”

”I... kind of... don't want to.” I said.

”Look, they know the best.” Melis said. ”Just go already.”

”MURDER!” I said. ”This is mass murder! What you are doing is killing people! Have you lost all your connection to the real world!?”

”Let me remind you, this is the real world.” she said. ”Besides, death is a very natural part of life, and there is nothing wrong with it.”

”I will not assist you, I will not be a part of this massacre!”

”They will not be killed.” she replied, calmly as usual.
