章 88: Photos

Jason got back to his hotel where he saw Sara waiting for him, she had already prepared things to eat, he eat what she made and waited for Maya to come back.

After hours of waiting, where he totally forgot about her and watched horror movies the whole time, he got disturbed by a doorbell ring.

"Sara check who is it"

Sara nodded and walked towards the door and opened it to see Maya outside, holding her camera.

"Who is it?"

Jason asked

"Its the girl from yesterday"

Sara answered.

"Let her in"

Jason said as he looked at the TV screen, he saw a woman being chased down by weird looking dogs in the woods as they howled and growled.

Maya walked in and looked at the screen as well and felt a shiver run down her spine as she saw the dog-like creatures jump down and pin the woman to the ground and rip her throat off.

Jason turned around and looked at her.

"Are you not comfortable with such things?"

He asked.

"No, I don't like blood"

"I see, sit down we will discuss today's event"

Jason said and changed the channel to some random music one.

"Here, I found something really interesting things around the palace"

Maya said and handed him the memory card from her camera, Jason took it and inserted it in the laptop on the table, he then started to go through the photos carefully, the beginning while going through the photos he didn't notice anything until he came across one in particular, it seems to be a picture of a wall and there is something written on it, but in this photo the writings couldn't be seen at all, the photo seemed very distorted, it was like someone put a swirl filter in it.

"Why did this picture end up like this?"

Jason showed the picture to Maya, seeing the picture Maya also seemed very confused.

"I don't know, I didn't even touch the memory card, I brought this directly to you"

She said and frowned.

"Do you remember what this picture is about?"

He asked as he thought that this wall seemed very weird.

"Yes, this wall was plated with gold and some rare stones but right in the middle were some weird writings, well they looked like writings but I don't know what it is about"

"Did you find anything weird about this place?"

"Yes, when I was spotted taking pictures here, some men came and stopped me, they snatched my camera but I had already swapped the card so they found nothing but an empty card"

Maya said.

Jason thought for a while and looked at her.

"Will you be ok if I take this memory card?"

"Yes, you can keep it"

"Thank you, you should go and take some rest"

Jason said and started to look at the picture.

"Ok then I will be taking my leave"

Maya left and Jason started to go through the other pictures, he only found two pictures with distorted photos, and they were both from the same area.

"Let me send this to Derry, he might be able to find something"

Jason then sent these to photos to Derry and called him right after.

"Hello?"

"Yes, Derry, I sent you two pictures, tell me if anything is wrong with them"

"Wait a minute"

Derry said and went silent for a while, after a minute he returned back.

"These photos are weird, this is how the image was captured by the lens, I went through the properties and the lense specified on it doesn't have this functionality, that means when light entered the lens it was destroyed from the beginning to get this kind of pictures"

As Jason heard what Derry said he found it weird, what could possibly cause the light to get distorted.

"What do you think caused this distortion of light?"

"I don't know, light can be bent but the way this image is captured I cannot really tell how on earth this picture could even exist"

"What do you mean?"

"As we all know light travels in a straight path but in this picture light is curling around"

Derry said as he couldn't even believe what he is currently saying

"So you are telling me that finding a raw picture is near impossible"

"Yes, but brother where did you find this?"

Derry asked

"Let's just say Banor is a very weird place"

Jason answered

"I hope you don't cause any trouble there"

Derry said and laughed.

"Ok, I will have other things to do, will call you when I need something"

He ended the call and sighed.

"Let's continue this tomorrow, I am too lazy to do anything right now".

Jason said and got up turned back the horror movie as he saw a man with a gun in his hand walking in the same forest where the woman just got her throat ripped.

"What an idiot, bringing a gun to a supernatural fight"

Jason commented.
