CHAPTER SEVEN

Footsteps echoed louder than words around the living room. Everyone with the exception of Lama who still wasn’t ready to leave her room was present. Muzin eyed his daughter from where he sat, while Laura treated her broken nose from the day before. Naomi looked white and pale with worry but kept her words unaired while she shot Nora some nasty looks.

She upped herself from her seat and walked to the telephone.

“What are you doing?” Muzin asked the girl with his legs crossed and his temple leaning against his hand.

Naomi looked in his direction and replied, “We need to find him… he might be out there and we need to find him”.

Her eyes bore bags underneath them, as did Nora’s. The latter had barely slept through the night, only managing some minutes when she closed her eyes and prayed everything happening was nothing but a serious nightmare. Unfortunately for her, when she parted her eyes open, things remained exactly as they were.

“The cops cannot help us… we cannot bring in more people into this than we already have”, Nora spoke out in rather heightened tone.

Naomi shot back at her. “Of course you wouldn’t want us to find him! You are responsible for this… you and that crazy aunt of yours!”

Laura smiled but soon winced in pain as the bleeding nose threatened to burst open again. Naomi returned to dialing 911, but the phone wouldn’t come on as she watched the lights on the telephone flicker on and off. The lights in the room soon followed, taking a rather bizarre electrostatic appearance before the bulbs began to pop one at a time.

“Get away from the telephone!” Nora yelled.

Naomi tossed it down and stepped backwards as fast and as best as she could, as they watched the telephone wire melt away as if it had been scorched in a furnace. She turned to the front door and watched the bolts suddenly jam into place, as Nora seemed unsurprised by the bizarre occurrence.

“We have to continue”, Nora muttered.

Muzin shot to his feet and flailed his hands in the air. “I will not be a part of this… I have lost too much already and I will not lose a third family member!”

He began to storm away before halting by the hallway leading towards the bedrooms.

Nora got to her feet. “Who is the second family member you lost?” she asked.

The coincidence between what Laura had said the night before and what her father had just mentioned, seemed too related not to be true.

Muzin looked at his daughter, let out a loud sigh, and looked away. “It doesn’t matter now… I will not lose you too”.

Naomi shot to her feet and yelled. “Of course, it does matter! First you lie to me and keep me in the dark about my mother’s death, and now my world is falling apart with strange things, events and bloody Onamegas!”

Muzin looked towards Laura, almost as if he was trying to tell her how much she was responsible for the entire ordeal, just before he slipped out of sight and away from them.
