Once they got the information they needed, there was no need to waste anymore time., they went straight to the address they were given...
When they got there., they felt that Belzor had given them the wrong address.., for all they could see in the dark night, was endless graves... It was a cemetery.
"this is the last straw., why in the world would he give us a wrong address... Chinju roared angrily..
" He never gives us wrong information, so let's just look around and see if we would find anything.., probably a clue of something.. Jato says... They all walk into the cemetery., looking through the whole place.., chinju just followed behind them angrily... Complaining all the while.
"I'm telling you, there's nothing here., I could tell by the way he was acting that he had no idea where it is.. He is just fooling us.. She kicks a grave angrily with her boot...
" there is nothing here... She said still kicking graves angrily.. It's just hundreds of graves., and sand and...
" Ahh finally., you stopped complaining.. Flatty, you know you are very pretty if you just keep your mouth shut... Zairo says without looking back at her... I mean even if there was something here, how would we see it when you continue shouting huh??... Typical chinju... He was expecting an answer from her.. There was no way he would say something like this and she would not give him a response...
But she was quite., she had suddenly gone completely quiet.. Almost like she wasn't there with them... Wait, was she still there with them? Zairo turns back to look at her, but she wasn't there...
"Chinju., Chinju where did you go??.. He calls out, drawing Jato's attention... They both turn around, and she was no where to be seen..
Fear gripped both guys.. Where was she, where could she had disappeared to.. They should not have let her walk behind them..
"Chinju.., Chinju!!!... Both guys cried out but got no response., it was a very dark night, nothing could be seen clearly in the dark.. The place the Cemetery was located was a perfect place to kill a person and bury them right there... It was dead silent.. Not even an owl was nearby... The night fog that was now increasing, made it even harder for them to see. The moon wasn't even helping at all..
They tried making their way back to where she stood kicking the grave... "Chinju., Chinju.. But she was not there either... She had been attacked... It means there was actually something or someone in this place...
Panic struck their hearts... They had to find her., she had to be somewhere around here... Whoever took her couldn't have gone that far... They turned to leave..,
but then..
Both guys felt a firm grip on their legs... The hand dragged their legs, making them loose their balance, and falling down flat to the ground... As they touched the ground, swiftly, Jato pulled out his sword, Zairo held his bow and arrow like they where his life...
"What are you both doing... A familiar voice asked..." I just discovered a passage, and you are trying to kill me"..
"Chinju?? Both guys echoed together... But still not lowering their weapons... Belzor did say Alia was an enchantress., what if she just made herself sound like Chinju...
" Are you two really bent on killing me., get those things out of my face.., I'm already angry that my boots got soiled as I stepped into this place., I don't need you two to increase my anger right now...
Yep.., it was their Chinju alright., she was the only one that would think of the conditions of her precious boots in the middle of a graveyard., under this kind of circumstances. But the question is what in the world was she doing inside a grave..
"Now get up and follow me... She said and disappeared into the grave...
" What the.., where in the world did she go again... Zairo says.. He was getting really frustrated and confused... Was there a tunnel in the grave or what... Because that would be the only explanation for her disappearance into the grave... He looked at Jato, and it was obvious that they were both thinking the same thing... They stood up, and followed her into the grave..
Well what do you know.., it was actually a tunnel... There were stairs... And slowly, they descended and soon, they were walking underneath a graveyard...
"turn on your light.. Chinju suddenly said...
" she's talking to you Zairo" Jato said...
"oh.. Yeah right... He stretches his hands forward., and it starts out like a little spark., and then lightning., and next, it was blue fire... He sometimes forgets he can do this.. And they have to remind him that he is their human torch ...
Now they could see each others faces clearly., and a little glimpse of the cave or whatever they where in...
"Look there's a torch on the wall"... Jato says pointing at a touch that hanged on the wall... Zairo walks over to it., and lights it up..
But then it turned out to be a chain of torches.. As he lit that one, the whole place became illuminated as the fire moved systematically from one position to another...
"so much trouble to light up a place., didn't anyone tell her about bulbs and the use of electricity... Chinju said grumpily..
" Come on Flatty, you gotta give it to her., she really did a good job with the place., don't be such a critic... Zairo said.. Chinju looked at him like he just supported the devil..
"Hey guys., take a look at this... Jato called out to them.. They hadn't noticed, but there were some drawings on the walls... Some very troubling drawings...
" oh my gosh.., it's like she is burning the kid alive... What kind of a sick person or demon burns a child alive... Chinju says completely horrified at the drawings on the wall...
The drawings were in different stages... First one., a woman and her child probably, were hugging... In the second one., the child had been taken away from the mother ., by another woman.. While she was held down by some other people... In the next drawing, There was a fire, and the child had been tied to a stick, about to be thrown into the fire by the woman.. Who should be Alia...
The mother of the child cried and begged in the drawing for mercy for her child.... Her hands is stretched out to the child., but instead., in the next drawing., the child was gone.. The fire was no more.. All that remained of both fire and child., were ashes...
"I swear I will personally drive my sword into her heart... Chinju was burning with fury... Children were a gift to life., how could someone burn such precious gifts...
" I just hope we are not too late.., I hope the kids that went missing haven't met the same fate as the boy in the drawing... Zairo said looking at the walls intensively..
Chinju was not the only one angry at the moment.. Zairo and Jato were burning up with anger inside... The woman was less than a demon... She definitely did not deserve to live...
And they were going to make sure she didn't...
