All Chapters of A journey to Elysium: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Murphy gasped at the sight of what was inside the coffin and backed off.Exactly the skeletal remains of a human as she read on the manuscript, covered over by some cloth below the waist,whole of the flesh had sloughed off over time, the orbits were empty of any eyes that used to be there.But there was something unordinary about the skeleton, it didn’t have any muscles or skin on her face to have any expressions made upon it, but still, it clearly looked like a frightened away remains!

Murphy slowly recognized the presence of Sam and Hellion over there.His arm around her, holding her away from the floor, closely towards him, while Hellion was leaning over and examining her heartbeat.His face had got pale and anxious, his eyes locked upon her face, waiting for any response from her."Sam. . .", Murphy said in a low weak voice, "what happened to me? Why had I fallen?".Her chest pain was getting worse, and her head throbbing hard.They finally sighed with relief watching her getting into consciousness. Hellion pulled back and grabbed a bottle of water from her backpack instantly and helped her drink it sip by sip."Are you okay Murphy? Come drink some more water", Sam's voice was worried as he kept on inquiring.Murphy could feel some energy in her body coming back, she tried to sit on her own on the floor, while Hellion and Sam sat beside her."What happened to me?", she asked in a

"I would love to have that", Murphy exclaimed with joy.Sam was smiling at their little moments of happiness. Their happiness meant the world to him.Nanny was holding their hands too tightly, she didn't want to let them go away even for some timely moments.Her eyes began to water slowly, she was trying to hide away the pain that was causing the streams to pour out from the rocks.Sam sept nearer, putting his hand on her cheek lightly, making her feel like a child, who needs to be shown sympathy, like an ointment on a hurt.Her eyes watered out more and more, turning into complete sobbing and her breath was getting heavier upon the exertion upon her lungs at the face of emotional pain.She was getting breathless now, trying to speak against the resistance of her breath, her face was getting flushed at the effort of her body.Murphy leaned over her, trying to get her calm by patting her head and assuring her their presence forever, "Mother, c

That was the last time that she was seeing her Nanny's face, which was all quiet and calm, free from her ailing soul, departed from a painful cage of her body.Murphy rose from the floor instantly and ran towards her, falling over, she could barely keep her balance intact.She stood beside the body, from which the soul had departed miles away, Nanny was lying there sound asleep, not willing to get up forever.The peace on her face clearly shown the torment of her crippling life, she had given them her soul, her energy to raising them, she gave up too much to make them realize that she was their mother, now she had forgotten all the promises and sailed away in the ocean of freedom, leaving them behind at the edge of it, on the beach of miseries and sorrow.Murphy's heart bled with the torment of her departure, she couldn't believe that she is gone.Sam stood beside her body on the other side, quieter than a portrait hung on a wall, he seemed to still be

She suddenly wished to see what was inside it, as the black bag was holding much of suspense for her.She was thinking how can someone abandon something of his so easily?Her mind was preparing the scenario, again and again, the mysterious person was crossing her mind over and over.She grabbed the bag, held it out of the drawer, it was a shiny leather bag, it was of elongated shape, not the ordinary square of it.Suddenly she shook her head, thinking that's not right to look into someone else's belonging, instantly turned around to put it back in the drawer.She pulled the drawer and immediately put it back into it and pushed it close, and went out of the room to find Sam."Sam? Where are you?", screaming in the house, while her voice was banging through every wall, she had barely walked a few steps from her room that she was calling his name as if she was looking for him since ages, "Been looking for you for so long, where you at. . .".
