Darkside 3

by Aaron K Carter

  Madeleine’s face was astonished after she remembers her presence in his room and then said apologetically: “I’m really sorry for my improper behavior I apologize”

  He looked at her for a few seconds and then said lifting his eyebrows” Do you find it easy to apologize?”

  Madeleine was surprised by his question may be trying to fabricate a new problem with her, but she got enough it becomes boring, she noticed the dark circles under his eyes and his weary face. He must have spent a difficult night.

  “I’m sorry for what happened yesterday,” he said in confusion after the long silence between them.

  she stares at him without answer, she interrupts that silence said in an attempt to be as fun as possible: “I loved your photos very much and I also liked the places where the photos were taken”

  John reached and sat on the bed and said: “Yes, on the Earth”

  Madeleine felt a strange feeling when she heard the name of the planet Earth. Is it really reasonable to be her native country? She never thought of it, in the end, she is impossible for her to go there, she is just a maid.

  “Do you know that I have achieved one of my desires at this particular moment?”

  Madeleine turned to look at John, who was sitting on the bed behind her and then said lifted her eyebrows:” What do you mean?”

  “I wanted to see the reaction of the inhabitants of the planet Gliza when they see something about their home country and you have achieved that desire”

  Madeline raised her eyebrows and then smiled spontaneously and said: “And what did you deduce from this strange desire?”

  “You hate him and wish to burn him to get rid of him instead of returning to his arms” Madeline’s smile widened as she listened to John’s conclusion, which seemed to her very logical: “Did you know that you are now telling the truth that most people in Gliza are afraid to say?”

  She shared her smile and she was the first honest smile she saw on his face Regardless of the one in the picture.

  Madeline caught the picture suddenly and then pointed to the girl standing next to him and said: “Who is she by the way?”

  John’s smile did not last long and then he sighed and said “Edwards twin sister”

  Madeline’s eyes widened and she returned to check the picture. The resemblance was clear between them. They shared the color of the blond hair and green eyes.

  “Is she here with you?” Madeleine Madeleine asked and she was still looking at the picture.

  “was,” He said in short without adding any details and then added after he got up from the bed ignoring the ideas that invaded his mind for minutes “I have to prepare some supplies and prepare for our journey and I have to find milk for the two girls”

  Madeleine did not quickly absorb the number of things he mentioned, she said: “What journey do you mean? what supplies?”

  John recalled that he had forgotten to inform her of his decision, he said with some reluctance: “We have had conversations and forgot to inform you that we must leave immediately”

  Madeleine felt scared that the escape journey had begun and that those pink dreams of a quiet life had died before blooming, and then said: “ to where?”

  John’s features relaxed and then the puzzling features appeared on his face. “I do not know but away from here, outside this planet”

  Madeline stared at him with stupidity and she almost did not believe what he was saying to her, so how would she leave so easily and throw herself to nowhere.

  “It’s impossible for me to leave away from here,” Madeleine said emotionally without thinking any more, with one feeling now dominated her and it’s fear.

  “But we do not have another solution,” John said.

  “I do not really care if Victoria comes here in five minutes, I will not leave”

  “we have to leave!” John shouted nervously after he felt he was losing control of everything. He needed her for several reasons, the most important of which was caring for the two children. He was unable to manage such things.

  “I will not leave,” Madeleine said defiantly.

  John realized that there was no use for anger or shouting. That was her own decision and he could not force her, to come with him.

  “I need you,” he said after a long silence. “In both cases, the danger surrounds us. What is the harm of trying, instead of standing without moving a finger or acting and remembering what gonna happened to the two children if victoria takes them”

  “You can leave alone, but I will not leave,” Madeleine said ending the conversation.

  “So I’ll stay here too,” John replied, and inside him a fear of her insistence on rejection.

  Madeleine paused for a moment, thinking and several questions in her head. What was stopping her from taking the risk now? she has already risked and ran away and been involved in all cases, so why refuse to escape if she stays she will lose everything? She chose this route and she must follow the path.

  She sighed with a little stunt then stood from the chair and she said as she left the room “I will take care of the children and you start processing what we need for the trip”

  John smiled triumphantly when he heard her decision. He succeeded in at least one thing, which was to convince her.

  Madeleine went out to see John standing in front of the cottage door and his face showed signs of sadness and distress, he approached the huge warehouse that doubled the size of the cottage in a stable building with a large gate, Take out a key and insert it into the lock that lies under the large iron gate and open it, appeared before Madeleine a huge vehicle that seemed to her a little bit familiar, she saw like it in the yard of the palace, It was oval shaped with two large gray-colored wings and glass windows that did not show what inside because of the sun’s rays, John stepped in front of her and pressed one of the buttons of a controller in his hands and opened the door of the vehicle automatically and then appeared a small staircase door to the floor, John climbed up and she followed him without asking, her curiosity always made her act impulsively without thinking. She had already seen the vehicles but had never entered one, She was amazed as she looked at the endless number of buttons in the control panels. It had four seats, two front seats in front of the large controls and two in the back, he asked her to sit the two children above the two chairs and she did silently, she sat next to him and put the seat belt as he did, pressed a few buttons in front of him to lift the staircase, and then close the door. Madeleine felt the vehicle rush forward until it was outside the frame of the building and then folded the brace of the vehicle to fly away.

  The journey through the spacecraft was not as easy as Madeleine expected. The noise of the engines and the concussion of the vehicle were very disturbing. Even sitting on the seat was not comfortable, Looking at the time remaining at the end of the trip was more disquieting, but at least it would not be on the spacecraft forever. Twenty hours have passed since they left the planet Gliza and, as the screen indicates, it remains ten hours to reach their destination, Madeleine liked to watch the space from the window. Only a few hours ago, she was in a state of amazement. She watched the strange world in a fantastically beautiful way, despite the darkness of the space, but the glow of the stars gave a unique light, but That silence since the beginning of their journey makes her felt very bored, John sits beside her and reads a book without paying attention to her,

  She sighed once one of the topics jumped to her head to discuss with him said: “Are there planets other than Gliza, Kepler and the Earth?”

  John was the kind of person who would prefer to read about anything else, especially if he refuses to live in reality, but he gets involved with a curious girl likes to ask questions constantly.

  John closed the book he acted calmly against her expectations. “ “No, of course, there are too many planets in space”

  “So why drives everyone to favor the earth?” John sighed as he looked on the glass in front of him and then said: “Because the earth is t
he ideal dwelling for humans and from it we began, and the most important reason is not all planets provide the basics of life, some of them so freezing and some of them are so hot and as you know the most important thing for life is water, no water no life”

  “she nodded after feeling that she did not know much then she said: “Are all the inhabitants of the earth knows that”

  “I can not be sure, not everyone, but there are few”

  In fact, the most important fake information to be imparted to everyone on Earth is that all planets do not provide the elements of life and no human exists on a planet other than Earth.

  “I’m pretty sure you talk a lot with yourself without saying anything to me and it’s annoying for one reason that I’m bored,” Madeleine said uneasily.

  “Let me also tell you something, you were in that stupid job because of your gibberish,” he said with cold facial expressions that did not seem like a joke to her. She realizes one thing that this person is undoubtedly arrogant and moody as well.

  Instead of saying everything in her head, she smiled and said:” not exactly”

  “So since you asked me a lot of questions and played the role of the Parasitical, let me ask you why Victoria chose you for that job,” he said sarcastically.

  Madeline replied sarcastically: “Maybe the same reason I chose to stay with you”

  John was unable to curb the smile that appeared on his face and soon faded away, is the one who started the war with her in fact he had to expect this result, an overwhelming defeat.

  “Yes, you are right, you good at a lot of chatter” She smiled and then said with all her energetic spirit: “Completely”

  John stared at the screen, which in front of his head with wide eyes widened and then said with tension: “Shit they follow us”

  Madeline trembled and the signs of fear and panic began to appear on her beautiful face and then she said, “Who exactly follows us?”

  John hit the glass of the vehicle with his fist so angrily that he almost broke it and then said” Victorian guards”

  “What does this mean?” she asked him foolishly, trying to evade the painful reality.

  “It means that at the beginning of the end they will never leave us alive, and if they leave us, this is worse because Victoria will never forgive us”

  She had the desire to cry and she realizes her unfortunate end. She has felt her heartbeat accelerate as she watches the vehicles on the screen as she approaches.

  “Listen to me Madeleine, the best solution for the two children is to split up. Victoria cannot reach her goal easily or I hope she never does. I want you to be brave because I decided to leave with one of the girls to Kepler, and you go to the Earth, and I will follow you” He said as he looks at her in the eyes, with features that carry a lot and a lot of feelings.

  “I can not stay here alone and I can not deal with the inhabitants of the Earth as well,” she said hysterically, almost unbelievable, and her eyes filled with tears.

  John pressed some buttons and pulled his belt off the seat, and approached her then said: “Please Madeleine, you can do it for the safety of the two girls and humanity from Victoria’s hands. I trust you and I have done the automated control system and you will be able to escape from that woman. You will surely find out who helps you on the Earth. Believe me, we are not monsters.”

  She shook her head approvingly as she wiped away her tears and said:” do not be late”

  He smiled at her and then got up quickly to get out the small vehicle that contained only two seats. He approached Madeleine after he had fitted the vehicle and sat the girl in the back seat, then said: “You’re a really good and strong person, wait for me to meet again,” he told her before heading toward the rear gate of the vehicle.

  She was at that moment not aware of what was happening around her completely did not pay attention to say something.

  he carried the sleeping girl on his arms cautiously and headed toward the small vehicle, was very much like a rocket. he opened The roof glass through the console. he put the girl in the back seat and sat down. He opened a small circular exit and then got out separate from the main vehicle.

  Madeleine looked through the window as she watched the small vehicle move away in another direction and felt her warm tears wet her cheeks. It is now as alone as it used to be in the most difficult circumstances.

  Hours passed and she was on the back of that vehicle Frightened looking at victoria army approach, she was about to reach the planet earth, The screen was shown 20 minutes remaining, she may be lucky and arrive before her Victoria guards catch her,

  Several vehicles approached Madeleine’s vehicle and noticed that one of them was approaching wearing a white suit she couldn’t see his face, He only fired a bullet from his gun into the glass and penetrated to her heart, announcing its estimated end, and then moving away.

  The pain was spread in her body like a plague and her breath is escalating, she groaned and she put her hand in the place of the bullet and then her body began to tremble, and the pain kills her lean body more and more, as the little baby cried, she closed her eyes in surrender to her hot tears falling on her cheeks, her soul struggles to leave her body. The last thing she felt was the landing of the vehicle on the land and loos its balance.

  Chapter 22

  Location: Gliza Planet

  “W

  e killed her my lady,” Said the head of the guard to Queen Victoria who was sitting on her huge throne with her elegant golden dress and her red-brown hair. Everyone was amazed that she had given her throne more value than anything else to be prepared to take care of her elegant appearance under any circumstances.

  “And where are the two children, that’s what matters to me?” she looked at him lightly, making him feel confused. He did not really know what he was going to say.

  We could not stop the vehicle. It was big and strong and it was also about to enter the planet earth, when we could not stop it we just killed the maid,” he said, trying to keep On the tone of his strong and convincing.

  Queen Victoria threw her angry eyes at him after taking a deep breath as if she had not breathed in a long time.

  She said calmly after allowing her features to relax but this was not very reassuring to the head of the guard: “Why you did not follow the vehicle to Earth?”

  she quiets for a few moments until she screamed saying: “You are useless, you will get the harshest punishments,”

  The head of the guard trembled and his heart beats fast with every word she utters. This woman does say empty words and false promises.

  “My lady, believe me, we could not,” he said, trying to save himself from the volcanoes of Victoria’s wrath.

  “I will burn you alive, you had to catch up with her,” Victoria said, pressing her teeth angrily.

  “My lady one of our vehicles tries to follow them but once it entered the earth’s membrane until it exploded and scattered its remnants in space and then we retreated “ she held her eyebrows in surprise and she said: “So how could they enter?”

  “I dont know my lady” the guard says.

  She sank again in her thoughts and the anger engulfed her. She missed an opportunity that would not be repeated to return to earth. She did her best, but that maid came to spoil everything and all she got as a punishment is euthanasia. She put her head on the palm of her hands after feeling tired of thinking and planning but all her efforts to fails.

  Location: Planet Earth

  There on the planet of Earth was one of the stories wrote its last lines, Madeleine and the girl was still on the vehicle that was breathing its last breath after it hit the ground and smoke began to come out from it.

  Between the tree branches of that forest were two men and a woman walking for the purpose of hunting while they heard a loud voice and felt some of the vibration on the ground.

  a twenty-year-old woman whispered to one of the men, saying, “Did you hear this sound?”

  “Yes, I heard, I�
�ll go and see the source of this uproar,” one of them said, staring away as the forest shaded by tall trees.

  he was heading towards the source but she stopped him and then said: “Do not go, I have a bad feeling about this, you may get hurt” she looked at him with her eyes scared.

  “Stay with your husband and do not worry about me. I’ll come back if I know the source of the sound,” he told her in a reassuring way, as she watched him go through the green trees.

  Opened the door of the vehicle He was really surprised when he heard the voice of a little girl crying as he approached the vehicle. Finally, his eyes fell on that little girl sitting on the little chair, he walks towards the place of the chair, to back down and the signs of fear have appeared on his face when he sees Madeline’s dead body, she made him retreat with fear as he looked at her bloody face, her gray dress was covered with a large bloodstain as the bullet penetrated her heart to make her body without spirit,

  The young man did not know what to do exactly. He was overcome by feelings of tension and shock to get out his phone with trembling fingers. He called the ambulance and police to come immediately where he was. sent a message to his sister to tell her what happened to find her after a few minutes running quickly whit her husband towards him and the signs of tension appeared on her face.

  It did not take long and the place was crowded with ambulances and police cars and they took out the girl and the body of Madeleine.

  “What do you know about that vehicle sir..? “ the interrogator Said as he sitting in front of him, looking up at him questioningly.

  “Albert, my name is Albert”

  “So Mr. Albert I’m all ears,” he said, then looked up coldly at him.

  “There is no relationship at all” he simply answered.

  The interrogator raised his eyebrows with disapproval and then smiled sarcastically to answer him in a threatening tone: “It would be better for you to really confess quickly and I’m only afraid to get hurt”
