Chapter 8 - THE REUNION

As john standing in the front door of the EX leaders house, and his eyes hovering around the area looking for his mom and sister.

The villagers start approaching him to cheer him up and trying to get on his good side, but suddenly the doctor jumps between john and the villagers body guarding john.

With all the shouting and cheering the doctor slap john awake yelling: "WAKE THE HELL UP!!! IT'S NOT OVER YET. WE DIDN'T FIND YOUR FAMILY YET!!"

As john look at his surrounding he sees the doctor holding the villagers off him and the villagers trying to go pass the doctor… all in slow motion, as if the world slowed down… his world slowed down… he wants to hug his mom and comfort his sister telling them "everything is going to be fine now…" his broken right now … the aftermath of his hellish night kicked in.....

Suddenly john feels light, but not the relief kind of light… rather the (hold me, I'm falling) kind of light.

In those moments john start sitting down slowly in a way every single person around him felt the sudden change…

Everyone freezes worried, clueless, kids crying, whispers louder than shouting… the doctor turns to john once again:" hey…" john wasn't reacting to the doctor's word.

The doctor sits on his knees and motion to the entire villagers around him to calm down and sit down… the adult and the elders following the doctor do as he asked, the mothers holding their kids and babies trying to make them calm down…

In that moment actual silent fall down on the village, the doctor said, his voice calm but firm tone : " breathe john, it's almost done, the hard part is over" the doctor leans in grabbing john's head : " look up my friend. You won! Look around you the village is now in your hand. You are no long hated or cursed, breathe this fresh air now!"

As john fight his way out of his state rises his head towards the doctor… in that moment he sees two black figures both tall, one looks athletic flexible having long sword on his back the other look sturdy strong.

John start laughing loud and clear saying: "HAHAHAHAA, I THINK AM GONNA LOSE MY MIND DOC HAHAHAHA!! Anyway, I ain't their yet to see who you two are. I apologize but I have family to find now…" john slap himself hard: "AIGHT WAKE UP JOHN! Struggles bring greatness when it's over, plus your mom's food is delicious and you don't know how to cook that good".

As the doctor sees john smiling, he flicks john's forehead saying: "welcome back dumbass to the living world! Took you long enough my buddy"

As john picks himself up says loud: "NOW I AM THE NEW LEADER AND THE DOCTOR IS MY SECOND TO COMMAND ON THIS SAD VILLAGE!!... NOW EVERYONE YOU KNOW ALL MY MOM OF COURS YOU DO SINCE YOU HATED HER SO MUCH AND CURSED HER OH AND EVEN THROW DAMN ROCKS AT HERE… OH I REMMBER EVERY BAD THING YOU DID TO ME AND SPECIALLY TO HER!! ANYWAY THIS IS DIFFERENT TOPIC TO HANDLE NOW EVERYONE HAVE THE MISSION TO FIND MY MOM AND SISTER… AND I SWEAR IF I HEAR THAT YOU MISTREATED THEM YOU ALL SHALL TASTE THE DIRT JUST LIKE THIS PIECE OF SHIT LEADER AND HIS LAP DOG EXCUTIONER !!!!" john point at their heads…

"THE MISSION STARTS NOW!! BRING ME MY FAMILY BACK!"

As john finishes his words he notices smoke in the middle of the forest. as the sun as soon to sets, he started rushing towards it and everyone in confusion trying to gather themselves up to start the search.

The elder pulls the doctors shirt says in low voice: "w... who was he talking to john before his scary announcement and promise of torture and death if we disobey …?"

The doctor laugh and answers':" well john isn't a witch nor son of a witch to set the ground, you and your people throw him away he had to create his way of living and communication ON HIS OWN! And that what he came up with…" the doctor hold for a second a look of sympathy : " that young man is hundred times strong then I will ever be mentally, he got cursed mistreated and humiliated outcasted… and still have a heart to care and love respect and admire… don't worry old ma'am you are not in danger ".

The doctor stands back up and says: "EVERYONE, JOHN IS A CARING LOVING LEADER DO NOT WORRY TREAT HIM WITH RESPECT AND CARE AND THAT YOU SHALL RECIVES! ALL ELDER PEOPLE BABIES AND KIDS WHO ARE UNDER 7 YEARS WITH THEIR MOTHER ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO DO THE MISSION! ... THE REST OF YOU, YOU HAVE TO FIND HIS FAMILY SOON.! LET'S GO GUYS WE DON'T WANT TO DISSPOINT HIM! ... "laugh loud and say: "WELL I DON'T WANT TO DISPPIONT HIM HHAHA, WHAT ABOUT YOU ALL !!"

The second the doctor finish his word the young and adult villagers cheered:" LET'S DO OUR JOB YAAAAA!!!!"

With a small smile the doctor takes his followers and separate them to groups to find them sooner in more efficient way.

The sun is close to set hugging the horizon in warm orange radish colors sending shivers and relief to whomever sees it and send of a fresh new breath a fresh new night and era this village is going to see.

John rushing in the forest towards the smoke location fight the falling branches and the hanging leaves, and exhaustion clawed at him, threatening to finish him off but john keeps going ruthlessly clumsily, tripping and falling each step he stands back up and keep going his way.

Unknowing as John struggles to keep his balance he sees the glimpse of light between the trees as the night sets, he get's one last adrenaline rush to reach for the fire hoping with all his strength that it's his family camping.

With each step, John see's his past flashing between his eyes…

Seven years old John.

He sees those whom he thought that they are his friends start pushing him away and hitting him, when they saw him quietly copying their moves actions...

"HE IS WEIRDO! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING YOU SON OF WTICH!!" one of the kids says.

"hey don't tell him that he didn't do anything deserve the hate! Leave him alone you bully!"

Says Lina.

--------------the present---------

As John remembers it his eyes start tearing hoping hard to see her again, her harsh words, her jokingly bullying him… he burst out yelling:" MOMMMM!!!.... LINAAA!!!" over and over, with each burst shakes his body crying and his eyes shedding rivers.

Suddenly he fall in a trap…as his steps becoming heavier he step on a covered hole on the ground falling in it, the hole Luckly wasn't that deep for him to sustain serious damage out of the fall…but his body already beaten thrown and starved in the hellish days he been in through rendered him unable to move in that hole…

As he hears someone's voice, John started laughing hysterically unstoppable hard laughter shedding echoing in the dark depth of the forest….
