Chapter 20 - Nightmares Fall

They run as hard as they can but reach a dead end "No escape now, young men"

They had the intention to kill.Four thieves showed their guns. To shoot two young men and the young men said to each other "Man there's no escape from here I think it's the end we have to give up "

They showed signs of weakness and the robbers started shooting at them.

The two young men closed their eyes to meet their fate, but they heard the shooting and were not injured. They opened their eyes and found an ice barrier in front of them that prevented the bullets from reaching them "What is this thing and where did it come from suddenly"

The young men looked behind them after hearing someone's voice calling them "Come on boys, get out of here fast!"

Even though they didn't know him, they trusted him because they had no other solution to survive.

"Thanks man I don't know how we survived"

He looked at them and smiled "I am Orien"

Start a conversation "I'm Rayan and this is my friend Malrick"

They started to get to know each other and started to remember the past. Rayan started to remember.

"I remember that day and I remember everything that happened on that day Ten years ago, when I was seven years old, my father was telling me a story about an unknown place. When the story ended, we heard people outside the house screaming as if it was the end of the world. My father and I quickly went outside to see what was happening, but we could only see people running around us. I looked at my father and found him looking at the sky. I looked up at the sky and saw a meteor about to hit the Earth. This meteorite soon hit the Earth, but it was unusual meteorite. The meteor did not destroy anything. As soon as it hit the Earth, it was worse than we expected. The sky turned red that night, which is now called the blood moon phenomenon. People remained terrified, and to this day we are suffering from the damage caused by this meteorite. After that night the sky returned to normal, But the only damage the meteorite caused was terrifying. When people sleep, they have a nightmare in which there is great danger to them, and if they are killed in the dream, they will die in reality"

Orien looked at Rayan and said " I remember this day"

Ryan continued his words "A group of people were able to find a solution to this problem. They created a medicine that treats nightmares, but only for a period of time, approximately two days to a week. When the effect ends, the nightmares return again.The treatment was expensive, so poor people ended up either giving in to nightmares and dying or not sleeping, and not sleeping caused some people to go crazy and act strangely and become out of their mind. My father Jonathan, my mother and I didn't have enough money to buy this medicine, but Malrick's father helped us and bought it for us."

Orien was surprised and asked "Why did his father help you?"

Rayan smiled slightly "Malric's father was named William and he was a very close friend of my father's. He helped him and brought us some of the medicine that has kept us alive until today."

Orien admired the strong friendship between Rayan and Malrick, as well as the strong friendship between their fathers. But soon Rayan started talking about his father "But my father died when I was about 11 years old and William, his friend, was very sad about it. William died two years later, but William died because of a nightmare"

A look of confusion appeared on Orien's face "Why didn't he take the medicine?"

Here comes Malerck and tells him "The effect of the medicine wore off and my father didn't notice and ended up not being able to escape the nightmare"

Silence fell upon them....

"I'm sorry to hear that. Guys I have to go now. We'll meet again tomorrow."

Orien left

"He seems like a good guy"
