Free Sun Stealer. Hidden Anomaly. by A. Mani

child. Do not worry about us!” he whispered, as my mother came into the room.
                  “Who are you?” she turned to me as she saw me for the first time. As we were strangers. In a weird way, we were.
                  “You don’t recognize me, mother?” I asked her and looked straight into her eyes. “I am your young daughter, diamond” I said with tears in my eyes.
                  “My daughter is dead!” she said without hesitation and began covering my father with more layers, as she was trying to cover the bitter truth.
                  “… then I guess you are talking to her spirit…” I whispered.
                  At that moment, I understood every member of my family had an equal part of the guilt. There were no innocent in this place, I once called home. There was nothing for me save there except for my cat, my Shadea.
                  ‘I came for Shadea” I turned to my father.
    They both were quiet for long moments until my father whispered with tears in his eyes:
                  “My sweet child… I am so sorry… Shadea is dead. She died the same day you were gone”.
     
                  I knew the truth could hurt, I never knew how big was the pain. Not until I heard my father’s words ‘Shadea is dead’. his words were so unbearable, I left his room with no words, called my demons, and the three of us ran out of the civilized zone. Next time, I would go there, it would be to destroy everything that caused me so much pain. Next time I would go there, it would be in the name of revenge. Next time, would be the last time and I would appear as a proud fighter as opposed to a lurking thief.
                  I could not remember the last time I had cried. I had not cried, since my meeting with Sia at Didam Valley. Pain was a lost memory and tears were the enemies, I fought so well.  But the sad news about Shadea just broke me down. I had lost the last memory’s shred of my childhood. If I had any good memory of, what once was my life, it was now gone. If I had anything to keep me going, it no longer existed. And for the first time, after so long, I cried. I cried hard. I fell to the bare soil of Anomaly and cried a river of lost, sorrow and pain. I was not sure whether I had cried for the lose of Shadea or for the lose of me. The old me. I would never cry again.
                  My lose made me careless. I did not mind the burning soil under my feet, as I was walking barefoot to the wild zone. I did not mind the eagles circuiting over my head, waiting for their prey to surrender. I did not mind my demons jumping up and down my arms, cutting my skin, making it bleed as if they were trying to tell me, I was still among living. 
                  As we arrived to the wild zone’s lake, I got straight into the water. I took my cloths off and left them on the ground. I washed away the dark mud, that was covering my skin. I was trying to wash away my pain, as if I was tired of hiding. I did not care if anyone would catch me naked, uncovered. I was not worried about anybody knowing who I am. Until… I was.
                  “Who are you?’ I heard a deep voice in my ear. I knew that voice. It was dark beast.               He was in the water lake, standing behind me. I turned my head to him as he grabbed me by my waste and brought my exposed body close to his chest. He held me so tight, I could not breath. I did not know whether I had been nervous by the fact, he uncovered me or by the fact he was so close to my uncovered body. it was the first time a man saw me naked. He looked me straight in the eyes and while I was sure, I would find anger and rage in them, all I saw was disappointment. It seemed like he wanted to believe my lies, more than I did.
                  “You are white!” he said while passing his dark fingers
