"Aarav..."
"Iam I... Aarav"
He raised his right hand to toch the screen.
When his fingers touch the screen a headache which felt like his head might break in two.
"AAAAHHH..."
Then some visions comes in front of his eyes.
He is in a small bin filled with luck warm water. He looks at his boy, it was that of an newborn's
'I... I can't move my body!'
At that the baby moved it's arms and legs, crying.
Then an arm picks up the infant, the person's face, unclear a blur image of his face.
The person spoke in a gliched and broken voice.
"Welcom to Th... son... your name... Aarav."
'Aarav?'
'Aarav, Aarav, Aarav.'
The name repeated in his head.
In real time he clenched, screaming.
"AAAaa!"
Few seconds later it stoped, the headache and vision was gone.
The caught his breath.
"What was that? That... that vision, my past? Was that my parent?"
"What is going on and why am I here?"
He finally realised that he was to die the movement he got shot by that robot. But how? How was he alive?
Then something entered in the screen. Aarav looked and it sowed an other set of symbols.
"x5505418..."
The text erased and and another text appeared.
Failier to connect to server.
Initiating memory altering and erasing...
"Erasing? Wait! Erasing my memory? Stop it! Stop it now!"
A green thin sheet of light appeared out of one of the three small circle thing on the screen.(one of them looked like fiber while the other two was like a screen.)
The green light went up and down his fourhead.
"Hey! What are you going I said to stop it!"
But it was too late it finish...

As he finished reading the text he started to sweat. The place was becoming warmer, no hot, hotter.
Aaravs breathing grew and he felt suffocated, hard for him to breath.
Kicking the intruder...

The screen turned off.
And Aarav fell unconscious as the heat got to his head.
=====================
It felt cold, his hands were numb, his body shivered in the cold, the warm blood flowing through his veins.
Slowly, the numbness faded, the shivering stopped, he opened his eyes slowly, and saw the ceiling.
The same old ceiling of the museum. Plants dangling from the roof.
"I am here again?"
He got off the pedestal, every thing looked the same as the first time he was here but, this time the other three ice which surrounded the beast traped in the ice along his was not there now.
Instead there was a puddle of water.
He got near one of the pedestals and touched the water.
'It's still cold. Who ever got out of it must have been released just now.'
Now he looked at the ice in which the beast was now trapped in.
"So, you were the one who was trapped in this ice." He said looking at the beast in the ice.
"What are you? I know that it is in you blood to eat when you are hungry, but why are you so..."
He stammered as he tries to put the beadt's behavior into words.
"Smart, no animal even an human would not be as much clever as you."
As he was talking to the beast, someone in the background walked closer to Aarav.
The person steps on the puddle and Aarav hears and notices someone else behind him.
He continued talking nonsense to the beast, so the person do not get alarted.
'Is it an beast or that robot? Not it can't be either, he robot would not be this quite, it would have slammed it's old rusted metal let on the ground every step.'
'It can't even be the beast, it is right in front of me so to find out who or what it is I will wait until it is my arms reach.'
and as the person got to his arms reach, Aarav took his chance and and spin kicked the person.
Even though he aimed for the head he kicked the person in the abdomen.
Then only he noticed that it was not a robot or beast UT was a human, a teen (same age as him).
"Ouch! Hey man I am not an enemy!" The person exclaimed.
"You are not an enemy?!" Aarav saw the person.
He looked the same age as him, he wore a green t-shirt which had many holes and looked old, the pants he wore was exactly the copy of what Aarav was wearing.
His hair was like a jungle, a curly mess of hair which a bird might miss took it for a nest. His eyes was amber-gold color.
He had a Hamer as a pendent on his neck.
"What a kick! I feel like I might vomit my insides!" The boy exclaimed.
"Well.." Aarav hesitated and said "I aimed for the head, but thankgod I missed and kicked you in the abdomen."
"Yeah, if you had kicked my head, I might have been decapitated." He joked and growled in a low tone in pain.
"Hey! Are you alright? Can you stand on your own or should I help?" Aarav asked the boy in concern.
"No, I am fine ot just pains a little. It will go away in a few minutes. By the way my name is Sameer." The boy said
"Iam Aarav"
"Alright Aarav, a name I will not forget after this." He sighed as the pain slowly faded.
"Hey! Do you know what place this is?" Aarav asked Sameer in hopes of getting an answer.
Sameer replyed "No, I don't know this place. I just woke up on one of the pedestals. I got off the pedestal and looked around to see if I could find anyone. And I found one!"
"You found one! Where is he! Does he know about this place!" Aarav was expectedly asked him.
"Right here." Sameer replied.
Aarav looked around and saw no one.
"What! here!? Then why can't I see him!?"
"You could if you see your self in a reflection."
"Wait! You mean you found me only!? Not anybody else!?(Sigh) don't get my hopes up man." He then looked at the beast.
He noticed a few cracks appearing on the surface of ice.
"Ho no!"
"Ho no no no! Quick! We need to get out of this place! And now!" He shouted not letting his sight off the ice.
Sameer looked at Aarav, confused as for why he was suddenly shouting to get out this place?
"What? Why?" He asked Aarav who was watching the giant ice now.
"The beast inside the ice might get out of the ice at any moment now! So run! Let's get out of this place! Now" Aarav shouted to make Sameer under stand the situation they are in.
While Sameer was about to ask
"Wha..." The ice broke and the giant hyena got free and looked at both of them.
"Ho God! What is that!" He exclaimed and the beast lunged at both of them.
"AAAaaa!"
Aarav grabbed Sameer's hair and ducked down, and saved him from the beast.
He beast had not stuck it's landing and hit a wall, as it tried to get itself study from the impact. Aarav found it to be the right timing for them to run away from here and shouted to Sameer. "Qick! Run! Before it get's it self steady."
They both ran in opposite direction to the beast. The got It's self steady and chased both of them.
Aarav looked back and the beast is right on their tail. "Quick we need to run faster!"
"Aaaa! Noo I can't!.. I can't go any faster!.. my legs!.. mys legs hurt!" Sameer said even though he was almost out of breath.
"Don't speak! Save your breath and energy to run a bit more! It will not leg us go until we run out of energy! So quit complaining and run with me!" Aarav said the whole sentance in one breath.
Witnessing what Aarav had done Sameer in his head
'Man! Does this guy have a air tank suppling air or something how did he say the entire sentance in one breath while running! I am almost out of breath! No quit thinking and run faster! Save your energy Sameer!'
Sameer slowly befant to run faster. Even Aarav looked at Sameer in shock.
'How did the guy who was almost out of breath run even faster than me! Never mind that!'
Aarav looked behind and he saw the hyena's figure a but far away.
'Ho! So you finally began to lay your trap. Alright this time I will not fall for it.'
At that moment Sameer said out of breath, but still running.
"Hey! It seems the beast is out of reach! Should we take a turn and loose it's trail!"
Aarav replied with a big
"No!"
Startled by his tone Sameer asked him. "Why not? We are about to loose it's trail and I feel my legs about to give out at any movement!"
"No! You don't get it! It's a trap it is setting for us! We have to out snart it and hide somewhere it cannot get us!" Aarav told.
"Come on! Why does this happen to me god!" They both ran with all they have.
Almost out of breath they took a corner and ran a bit more and took another two corner and finally stoped.
The let a huge sight of relief. "I hope... this is... enough to... loose it's track..." Aarav said out of breath.
Sameer asked catching his breath "Why.. so... much precautions?..."
"You don't get it... it's too smart for a hyena..."
At that moment they heard many metals banging on the tile floors.
"Hey! Dude you hear it?" Sameer asked.
"Yeah, what is it?"
"I don't know, but it is getting louder." Sameer replyed.
"No! Not louder! It is getting closer!"
Sameer went next to the corner and tried to looked what was heading their way,
Something came rushing towards Sameer and then.
Crash!
