Chapter V

I am still standing in my place in front of the mirror, watching what is happening it with great fear and terror, as this ghost puts his nails inside the body of that child, and the cries of the child increase,I yelled so loud enough to hear me, why are you doing this,But he didn't notice me as if he didn't see me and my voice didn't reach him but my stepmother heard my screams and came to me quickly.

Najwan: Why are you yelling like that?

Talin: I was dreaming about nothing, leave am alone.

Najwan: You are not normal. There is something to hide. If you have a problem, I am with you.

Talin: Since when did this sudden tenderness go away from me?

Najwan: I will go, but you will regret not telling me the truth.

Taleen came out of her room and looked at Najwan staring at her.

Talin: Where is my father?

Najwan with fear: I don't know, He said he's going to travel to finish some work.

Talin: Why is his phone always turned off?

Najwan: I don't know, I'm also worried about that.

Tallinn :- Well, I'll start arranging the house from everything.

Najwan: There is no need for that, I have finished everything.

Talin wondered: Really, how did you do this, since the day you married my father, you have not done those household chores, what happened to you, or do you want me in return?

Najwan: Why do you see me like this, are you not satisfied with me?

Talin: No, but I want to know why

Najwan: Because you did not believe what the neighbors accused me of, and you stayed by my side.

Talin: This does not mean that there is no mystery and something to be revealed.

Najwan angrily: Stay away from this topic completely, do you hear?

Talin: Why, is there something to hide?

Suddenly, njuwan's eyes widened: There is nothing to hide, but I fear for you.

Talin: Do not be afraid, I will not rest until I discover the whole truth.

Najwan in a firm voice with a threatening tone: But this means that you are not afraid for your life.

Talin: Yes, I do not fear for my life. All that concerns me now is how to free that child

Najwan pretending and not understanding: What are you talking about?

Talin: - Nothing. I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow I have important work. Good night.

Najwan: good night.

I entered the room looking for that door and the something the stranger and the child who was inside the mirror,But I did not find them. I lay in my bed, and did not feel those hours that had passed.

I woke up to the sunlight that filled all parts of the room, my room is made of glass,I changed my clothes and went out of my room and also from the whole house, ignoring my stepmother's call and her question.

I went to that hell. I entered the morgue room inside the hospital alone,I took advantage of the delay of the head of the department today.

I revealed that child's face and speak on, wake up, I want you to tell me about that thing,Is it the one who did this to you, why didn't you answer me, where are you?

But he did not answer, and there was no frightening reaction, and the place was calm and there was nothing to frighten

But I heard the sound of laughter of unknown origin, It is not the laughter of that child, it is a laughter waving to victory .

I turned around and looked at every corner of the room and asked who you are,Come on, show me yourself, you bastard, and leave this child.

The unknown voice answers me: He is mine, you cannot save him, the child was given to me.

Tallinn: How do I give this child to you and who is giving it to you?

The unknown voice: There are many people who are looking for money, and I am looking for these people to offer me offerings in exchange for opening the door for money in front of them, so they offer me these children whom I enjoy torturing. They are mine and you won't be able to do anything. Go and never come back.

Talin: No, I won't let you torture them like that, I'll punish you for it.

The voices of laughter rise and move away a little while he repeats, I am Khaled, I am Khaled, and that voice disappears.

Taleen: - Khaled, who is Khaled? Is Khaled the name of the person who gave him that child?

Either he means that his name is Khaled, I did not understand from those people who offer children as sacrifices, and to whom they offer, this is a very dangerous matter.

I walked out of that room and hurried with that fear that made my heart beat faster I leaned against one of the walls breathing hard and closed my eyes until I heard screams filling the place,I opened my eyes quickly, expecting to see that child, but the matter was uglier,the sounds were in my realistic,She is a woman full of blood screaming and hitting her face, saying my son, they killed my son. Give me back my son, his father, who killed him. I did not forgive him for that.

I was astonished by what she said, how a father can kill his son. This is impossible. I looked at her and sympathized with her, but blamed her for accusing her husband of such an accusation.

I entered to receive the body, and the surprise was that it was a six-year-old child who had been cut to pieces, as happened with that child who was searching for his freedom.

I was shocked when I saw that scene. I ran out of the room and I said no, this is impossible. Will he suffer like the first child? Will he be tortured? Will he become the king of that unknown monster?

It took me a long time to cry until I was stopped by the voice of a doctor working with me in the same department.

The Doctor: Hello, I am Doctor Ahmed Muslim, an Egyptian national, and I have been working in this hospital for years, specifically in that department.

Talin: Welcome, I'm Talin, I'm not Egyptian, but I came to Egypt for my mother, she's Egyptian, and my father is Italian. I hold my father's nationality, but I came here because my mother is Egyptian, and she wanted to die inside her country.

Ahmed: How did you adapt to the situation here?

Talin: I don't know, I've been living here for ten years. I hate being here because of what I saw at the hands of my stepmother.

Ahmed: You seem to be suffering a lot.

Talin: It looks like this.

Ahmed: And that's why you were crying?

Talin: I remembered the current situation and got up quickly. No, the reason is greater than this, that he is a child whose body is brutally torn.

Ahmed: What is new about these scenes that we see every day?

Talin: She did not try to investigate the matter and reveal the culprit

Ahmed: Why do we do these tasks are the prerogative of the policemen?

Talin: But they don't reveal the secret behind it.

Ahmed: Who told you this that they have confirmed facts about the perpetrators of these crimes.

Talin: And who are those perpetrators, please tell me.

Ahmed: I can't tell you, the matter is being investigated in secret, but my brother works as an investigator with the police and he told me about this and asked me to keep quiet.

Talin: But I need that information so that I can save the lives of these children.

Ahmed Surprised: Who are you going to save? They are dead.

Talin: Yes, they are dead, but their body is dead, but now their souls are trapped with that monster, he tortures them and says they are his.

Ahmed: I did not understand anything. Tell me what you are talking about
