I created you

Manuel held the girl who was frightened and fell unconscious suddenly, in his arms. He carried her to her room while his wife went to get a towel and hot water to wipe her forehead and body with. In the kitchen, she kept on wondering what Lily might have saw the scared her to the point of unconsciousness, Linda was worried and so was her husband. Manuel laid Lily on the bed and gave room for his wife to clean her up. They both left the room so as to let her sleep.

All Lily could see now was darkness, the last thing she remembered was the structure and the fading voices of Manuel and Linda. It's all but endless darkness. She took a step forward as though treading on an unknown path that has no beginning or end. Taking another step again and again, she kept on walking " Hello" she cried out loud, " Is there anybody here? Where am I? Mother Linda? Father Manuel? Hello?". There very no response, no echoes, it was just her. After walking for what seemed like hours, she sat in a fold, hugging her knee which bent upward. She sat in the silence, scared, turning wherever direction her neck went, tears started to roll down like streams of water, ' What's all this?' she said to herself. She sat in the silence for a long while and now she could sense that she was no longer alone in the black void. She could feel the hair on her arms and neck rise. She thought of running but it wouldn't be of any use since she wouldn't know if she was running in the direction of whatever was there with her. She closed her eyes as tight as possible, held on to herself with all her might.

" Lily" it was the same voice she heard when she was with Manuel and Linda, the same voice she heard when she was locked up back at her house, it was the same. She was more than scared now, frustrating, and confused why this thing wouldn't stop coming after her, she was just a child.

" Child you say?" the voice said and laughed, " Lily, my dearest, you aren't just a child. You are a success too me". Lily was scared and was all the more confused ' Success?' she thought, her heart was racing. " Yes, you're a success, I made you in my image. I created you and you were the biggest success that I didn't think was possible but you're even better" the voice kept on revolving around her " You're mind is still very young dear child but you'll grow up quickly". Every thought Lily had echoed in the ear of things the voice came from.

" Everything that happened to you was perfect. You may not know me now but you will soon, very soon. I created you." the voice said before vanishing.

" Linda move aside for the doctor" Manuel rushed in the room. Lily could hear their voices, her eyes came wide open and she began breathing as though she had no oxygen. The doctor rushed over, she was burning hot " How long has she been like this" the doctor asked, " Hours after she fell unconscious.". The doctor asked both parents to wait out side. As soon as he was done, he came out and gently closed the door behind him. " Doctor, how is our daughter? Will she be okay?" Linda asked feeling even more anxious, " Yes, she'll be fine. I gave her some medication to calm her down, she's currently asleep. Get these medicines for her and give her as prescribed.
