CHAPTER ONE-3

2033 Words
“I know you are in here. Come out now. Cooperate and live. Don’t make us come for you,” shouted the man with a croaky voice with anger patterns evident in the voice. She felt her veins like they would burst. The fear of death paralyzed her and left her with chills and hot flashes. The fear of being harmed made her pray in her heart to God. She felt numbness in her legs. She looked down to see if the legs were still there. Her body vibrated to the heart’s pounding. She felt her legs spasms and her fingers going numb. “Damn it. Come out now! You are cornered. If we must come to you. Trust us. It won’t end up nicely for you,” roared the man. At once, the approaching footsteps left her dead with fear. Her heart pounded with every step. It was just unbearable. She experienced mixed emotions in a split of a second. From extreme fear and panic attacks to feelings of instant arousal that pretty damn quickly evaporated. Replaced by extreme fear as the danger approached. Mixed with feelings of feeling like peeing. She shivered and could not feel her body. She had had enough. The fear of being surrounded and being harmed caused her extreme anxiety and stress. “Damn it!” She cursed hard. She cursed only as a deterrent. Otherwise; she was fear-struck. “I did nothing wrong. It’s a setup!” She shouted, protesting. She breathed deep and hard before slowly coming out with her hands up. Insula pointed the gun at her. “Don’t try anything stupid move to the center now! The nuclei right now before I shoot you,” roared Insula but with a quaky voice. Evelina felt her world falling apart. The footstep’s noises and the pounding did not stop. They all rushed in, all dressed in all-white and all-red attire. She could not believe it as she struggled to breathe. She felt the once huge altar monument now; the inside looking smaller, and the passages engorged and constricting as more and more men and women with guns entered in. The nuclei got smaller and smaller as the people squeezed in with all the space taken. She looked at the other entrances. Instantly, two consecutive gunshots sound from both sides startled her. A group of men and women in black entered as the doors suddenly opened, flooding the altar. “Drop your guns,” shouted the men in black who had just entered. “No, you drop your guns asshole,” roared one man. Evelina looked to the North-East as another man in black shouted. “You heard the men drop your guns or you are all dead,” said the man walking fast and aiming the gun. She on the instant looked in front where the main secret entrance was as a huge-ripped man with a deep voice entered in fast. The other men in red without delay opened the passage for him. The minute he entered everyone formed a circle around the altar standing at the outer walls leaving a gap in the middle. Now only he and Evelina were in the very middle. The man on the double walked north, parallel to the groove separating the altar circle into two. Passing the gold stool and perpendicular to the nuclei where Evelina was, and stopped. “Stop there before I shoot you,” shouted a man in black from the South-East side as he walked in Evelina’s direction. Heading to the nucleus at the very center. Straightaway, the huge-ripped man at the center shouted. “Take your positions,” he roared. A group of men and women from the right half of the altar circle took positions standing next to the gold seats. Evelina counted the men and women and in a short space of time remembered that there were thirty seats out of the likely forty-eight. She was shocked and surprised as to what was happening and was drawn to the other half where the gold chairs were. She quickly checked and noticed that the green crystal chair was still empty. Only three seats were not covered on the left side, meaning twenty-seven men and women had claimed the seats mainly on the right side of the altar. “Amy take your position now,” roared the ripped man. Instantly they all opened the way as a very tall slim lady walked to the front to cover the right side. It instantly clicked as Evelina remembered the name written on the seat. “Where is Hypo?” “I am here,” said the smallest guy of all who looked nervous hiding behind the others. “Damn it. Get out of my way,” shouted the small midget guy. They all looked to see who he was talking to. There was no one in front of him. They all had opened the way for him. He aimed the gun and instantly dropped it. Instantly a gunshot sound rocketed the monument sending everyone ducking. “Oops!” Said the small man. He walked nervously aiming at everyone as if poking the air with everyone ducking or aiming back. He went to the gold seat Evelina had seen written with the name; Hypo. Pronto, her heart tore apart. She glanced on the left side where she was hiding and saw the statue of the man holding the gold scriptures now lit, making the entire area brilliantly white. She looked at the pillars and saw the gold glittering. At once a voice startled her. Bogdan moved from the Northeast entrance toward the nuclei where Evelina was the very moment David walked from the West aiming at the nuclei where Evelina was standing as Carolina walked in from the South toward the nuclei. That like a shot triggered Marson to jump and grab Evelina the second his man Hypo moved forward swiftly from the North East. All the twenty-seven people who had taken positions in front of the seats aimed one after the other at Evelina. She screamed and cried before she started sobbing. In turns, as if fighting to shoot her first. They screamed at her and aimed the guns. “Devil-Is-I!” Shouted Marson grabbing Evelina and tightening the grip. “Devil’s Eyes!” Shouted the rest of the group as echoes and vibrations filled the altar monument. “Easy now! Let her go right now before I blow your bloody head off!” Everyone remained pointing guns at Evelina. The screaming was so intense and deafening as the men like a coordinated choir shouted death threats waving guns and knives in the air leaving the monument echoing. That went for a while every time Marson shouted that he was the main man. The; Devil-Is-I. The chanting and outburst went on and on until everyone was chanting hysterically charged in a frenzied mood to attack. That suffocated her that she started sobbing and in one last roar, all at their peak roared so loud that Evelina felt like her internal organs busted. But the tension in the altar at once suddenly died down as silence took hold even if it was for a split-second. Evelina looked around, thinking that it was a dream. Why have they in-a-wink quietened? She could see the sweat dripping down their faces, drenching their clothes, but knives and guns still in their hands clenched hard. They all looked at Marson; the ripped man in military attire. Polished shoes and a military haircut well shaven but with a puffed and bloated look. He shortly smiled, wiping off sweat from his forehead before sighing and blowing his nose on the ground. “My men are ready to tear you and shred your body into pieces with knives. Trust me, all these bastards standing here. There is nothing they can do to stop that because my men have gone outside to secure the entrances, they used to come in,” he advised. “I can’t wait to see the satisfaction and resolution on my men’s faces as they slice all of you bastards to death including you Evelina. The thrill of killing you after all the pain and anxiety, not mentioning the stress you have caused must be out of this world. They indeed say as sweet as revenge. Now we taste victory and be rewarded by knowing that we put you out of your miseries,” roared Marson. There was a sense of great excitement and euphoria from Marson’s team. The very moment Mesen; another of Marson’s men moved from the South East all crowded the nucleus at the very same time causing an adrenaline rush of fear releasing hormones in Evelina as the risks of death increased. Her heart rate was ascendingly elevated with short but repetitive panic attacks. Another seven men of Marson all moved from the East all behind him closing in on Evelina as if to attack her. Amy, Hypo, and Mesen closed in fast aiming the guns but a counter move by David, Carolina, and Bogdan saw Marson lose Evelina as the three aimed at Marson rather than everyone else. Even if that also meant eleven men shifting unexpectedly, closing in on her, leaving her traumatized and engulfed with fear. Evelina quickly moved back to the nucleus the moment she was freed but Marson jumped into the nucleus and forthwith grabbed her as she shivered in fear and in no time dragged her off the center. But instantly she remembered the stool. Then finding it and stepping her leg on the gold stool just near the nucleus. She screamed aloud. “Leave me alone. I did nothing wrong,” she screamed and kicked. That triggered David and his men to jump to her rescue and held her free hand, pulling her too as Marson was pulling her. “You are all hurting me. Let me go right now!” She screamed. Marson in a flash pulled out his gun and aimed at her head. “Pull her again and she is dead. You need her alive. I don’t. I prefer her dead. So bloody move backward. Let her go right now,” he roared. “Amy, Hypo, Mesen? What are you waiting for?” Shouted Marson. “Evelina screamed instantly looking at the positions she had seen with the names she had just heard. That triggered Carolina and Bogdan to look in that direction and briefly took the aim from Marson to Amy the tall slim woman, Hypo the dwarf, and Mesen the chunky guy. Marson instantly took the opportunity and dragged Evelina away from the center instantly. “Damn it! Eyes on the ball,” shouted David, triggering Carolina and Bogdan to aim back at Marson who instantly stopped but with Evelina clipped in his arm. A group of Marson’s men rushed from behind him and c****d their guns in his support. “You all heard the man. Back off. Goddamn it!” David looked at all his men and women. Pronto they all retreated. Leaving Evelina kicking and wriggling, but David advanced. Standing now in the nuclei, perfectly where Evelina was taken from. He stepped on the gold stool and right away roared. That got the atmosphere tense and heated. He aimed at Marson. “She drops dead, but you hit the ground first,” he roared. Soon after David aimed at Marson’s head. Marson’s twelve men instantly formed a barrier in front of David that triggered Marson to pull Evelina further away from the center. Moving to the East side of the altar where all his men stood on his sides. Dragging her to another separate side protected by his men and women. Even though they were not advancing instead, they were forming a cluster in that altar corner. As all the men and women in that corner were holding guns and knives looking at their backs, retreating to get away with the first prize; Evelina. The moment Evelina noticed what was going on. She panicked and screamed as she was now far away from the safe zone. She checked the distance from her original position to the center nuclei and fear struck her. She noticed that she was losing. Marson was determined now to drag her away and run for it. David now had become very conscious and fear was slowly setting in as Marson and his men and women clustered in huge numbers in the east corner. The tensions and the risks were now heightened as anything was now poised to happen. Obviously, in that cluster and in proximity with disastrous consequences. The fear of being gunned down the moment they exit had increased substantially. Every heart in there, even Marson’s was pounding hard. All the heart rates were elevated.
