Chapter 3

Could it really be him? I need to find him. I need to make sure if my suspicion was right. I should not let that slide away. He's my only hope as of the moment but where can I find him? Where should I start again? 

As far as I can remember, he's heading to the north. Wait- north? A town near the Vasileìa which we call the Afrókrema or the Vasileìa itself? Only elites live there, I know that because that's where my mom grew up, but she doesn't want there because of an unknown reason. So, she moved here to the house that I'm currently staying in. A place where normal people live.

So that means, he is an elite, obviously, because it's impossible that he's a royalty by just looking at his looks, movement, and expression.

I'm not judging him, ok? Just a bit, but that's the truth.

What I mean is, Vasileìas always think before they move or speak. No one had heard their actual voice and no one had seen them before, only their robots do. That's why they're so mysterious to me. I mean are they really existing? What if they're also robots? Who knows what the truth is.

I don't even know why people trust an unknown leader. They're so stupid and I mean that, I really do. How come they are being someone's slave without knowing who their master is? How come everyone is letting that fucking Vasileìas manipulate our lives when they can't even show their faces to us? I'm not sorry for I'm starting to think that they all are cowards who can only fight using their brains but not their bodies. Do they think hiding behind those stupid robots is cool? Because for me, it's totally not! They're just making me more curious and believe that they're just nothing but a trying hard to be powerful who can't even speak using their own voices. Funny, isn't it? 

Sooner or later, I'll definitely expose them and drag them down the hell that they made for all of us. I will make them swim the sea of fire that they personally prepared for us to die. We're suffering here, yet they're enjoying themselves, watching us as we fight the misery that kept on running after us. What a great leader they are- note my sarcasm in there.

I hurriedly ran towards the house where I'm staying and entered a tunnel that'll lead me to an underground room when I saw some robots patrolling around. They are the ones finding people to take and use to their experiments which I still don't know what kind of experiment. And obviously, they are planning something- again. That's not new for me. We all are used to it. They're inhumane to even try making every human being their toy, for making each of us a living experiment of them. Fuck this life! Science... What have you done to those people for them to lose their hearts? 

Is taking over the world fun? Because they seem to be making it their habit. I can only do nothing but to run and protect myself for I can't fight on my own now. I won't even want to use every modern technology that they made because I know that they put something there. Phone, laptops, computers, and everything- they are all bullshits! Those are just planted to watch my every move and they will definitely know that I'm still in my normal state and not the human that they want all of us to be, that everything's not going according to their plan.

I was huffing when I arrived at a small underground room, running out of breath for I ran just to get away from them. This room... It's not just a normal room but a mini laboratory that my mother owned. But this is not connected to what she told me in the hologram. Though I can't understand what all of these are for. There's a long table full of test tubes and each of them is filled with different colors. I don't want to touch any of this for I don't have even a single idea of what my mother is planning to do with me.

This is the only safe place that I have, I discovered that this can't be tracked by any tracking device that the Vasileìas have. This is made just for my mother to hide every single experiment of her. I also saw some notes that contain its formula but I can't decipher them. She's using a different code, far from what normal people can learn- I think mom personally made this and I hope that I can find out what this is all about. I don't want to stay blind my whole life, and if I won't start moving now, I won't be able to find out the secret that I've been dying to know.

If I'll need to risk my life, then I will- that's how desperate I am. This life of mine is worthless. What would I do in this era? Experiments... I'm fucking sick of it. 

That time machine... If I'll get a hold of it or even build a new one, then I'll be able to solve this- hopefully. 

I walked around the underground laboratory. I know every corner of this room, I even know how many test tubes and laboratory tools are here for I have even counted every single thing in this room. And funny that I'm the owner's daughter but it seems like our minds aren't connected because I can't understand it even if I already tried squeezing my brain just to have a hint on what are these for.

Will I need a scientist to make me understand this one? But I can trust no one here. What if I'll just mess it all up? I'll just ruin what my mother started and I know that I can never take it back the moment I changed or ruined something here.

I am tracing the dusty table with my hand while walking towards the board full of formulas. Everything here is full of dust and spider web, but I'm afraid that the moment I cleaned this lab, I might erase the most important thing or any clue that my mother left me- if there are.

But my mother is smart, smarter than the Vasileìas. I know that because they don't even know that there is a lab here, my mother has two laboratories, the one is just upstairs- the most obvious one and this one's hidden. 

The door of this underground lab is out of the world- an illusion. It's in an open field in our backyard that'll instantly turn into a door when either I or my mother will enter, I'm now the only key of this lab because my mother isn't here anymore.

Are you wondering how I found it out? It's easy, I even found this out when I was a child. I'm trying to play that time in the field alone, enjoying my childhood, but then a door suddenly opened that led me here. And that's when I started realizing things and being a curious little cat who wants to open every door that this world is hiding and to unleash every secret that is hidden by time itself.

I don't know how will I be able to defeat time, but I know that someone is trying to control it. Someone is trying to make a fool out of every one of us and that's obviously them- the greedy and deceptive Vasileìas who wants power over life and war more than peace. Does that mean that they want me? I'm war, aren't I? 

Then, let's take one step at a time, and I'll start with him- the guy that I saw a while ago. if I'll need to live in the Afrókrema, then I will. I'll live the life which my mother ran away from. Am I already insane if I'll do that? If I am, then I should be proud of being insane then.

If curiosity will kill me, then take my life for I don't want to be part of this shit anymore!
