Eva felt terrible but she couldn't do anything. One thing was really shocking for her that when she calmed down, the storm calmed itself too.
" maybe the storm must have flown into some another direction ", Eva thought and walked back to her mother's grave. She kept her head on her mother's grave and slept there peacefully. The same night the thunderstorm increased, the clouds gathered to rain but none did effect Eva. Eva slept peacefully while the birds cried hard, the fierce storms broke many graves and the furious winds with the rain droplets broke many huts in the town but the place where Eva was sleeping was just dry. No rain could wake her up or no thunder sound was heard by her. The nature didn't disturb Eva at all throughout her sleep.
The next morning when Eva woke up, she rubbed her eyes and kissed her mother's grave and said,
" it felt so special to sleep in my mother's lap". Saying this Eva was about to gather all her things and leave for her home or else her step mother will make her starve today too but before she could step out of the fences she saw a lot of people standing outside the fenced area just waiting for Eva to get up.Eva was stunned looking at those faces who seemed to be angry with red boiling eyes. Eva felt the heat they all were dissipating off their noses in anger. Since Eva don't know these men she decided to move out of this area as soon as possible but the moment she was about to cross the barbed wire, the people around ran towards her. Seeing the instant reaction she took her feet back on the other side of the barbed wire.
" you daughter of a witch, come out and we will burn you alive. We will make you experience the road to hell. You have destroyed the entire village last night asking for that furious storm.", one of the man from the crowd spoke. He was a dark man wearing a huge hat and a rugged wet jacket which probably had become wet in the rain. Not just him, every man in the crowd looked as if they are from a well built family but they actually didn't represent it. It felt as if all of them have lost all their property in floods and have no home now but things were very difficult for Eva to understand. She cant remember any of the storms that had ever appeared last night.
" storm... what storm are you talking about? I slept peacefully under the twinkling starts here last night", Eva said putting her views forward.
" exactly witch... you slept peacefully asking the storm to destroy the entire town but it didn't hurt you because it was working on your orders. You are a ghost of your witch mother. She was a man eater.... a witch and she is now burning in hell fire. We would send you there with her and help you experience the rotten s**t of your mother", a man with his mouth covered in blood because he had lost his front teeth spoke.
Eva became extremely furious when she heard the cruel words from the man and saw all the smiling face of other people present there. The man spoke so evil about Eva's mother and the other people were laughing hard. Eva went back to her mother's grave and touched her mother's grave and shouted at the town people,
" I will prove you that my mother was not a witch.She was a kind lady and if you had kill her then I'll surely make you regret for your deed.", Eva said and broke one of the branch from the tree and started hammering her mother's grave.
" hey stop don't do it or she will curse you... stop lady stop", the people from the crowd started crying but no one dared to cross the fence. Eva on the other hand kept hammering until she creates a hole there. The people cried and tried stopping her but she listened none. Many of them even picked up stones and threw it at Eva but Eva was so engrossed in her work that she didn't realize that all the stones that crossed the barbed wire turned mud and fell on the ground. The common people saw the magic that Eva didn't. She kept on removing the mud and the sun arose high up in the sky. She was sweating under the scorching sun and her hairs became loose dripping the sweat through them but Eva didn't stop.
Eva had made a resolute decision to prove her mother's innocence to the people and to gain the love back. The most important thing that she was searching was the actual reason behind her mother's death which had always remained unexplained to her. During the process of her working with the mud, her father arrived because the people of the town called him to stop Eva. Eva's father, a well built man with great muscles and broad chest walked near the barbed wire but he still didn't dare to cross it. The woman in the grave used to be his wife and the woman who is facing the threats is his daughter, still he didn't dare help her.
" Eva come out of there now. Accept the truth that your mother was a murderer, a witch whose presence has cursed the entire town", Eva's father screamed but his tone was still not caring. It was a rough voice, a command which he thought that Eva will obey but today Eva didn't care.
When Eva heard her father, a cunning side smile appeared on her face. She kept on hammering but was smiling while her inner soul was laughing on her father. She was laughing on the man who never cared about her, never checked whether she is sleeping after eating food or her stomach is empty. The father who always ignored her presence as if she is invisible, today all of a sudden wants her to stop things thinking that it would hurt her. But today was the day of tit for tat. Eva ignored her father's presence and kept hammering and finally succeeded in making a huge hole in the mud. Now she could see a glimpse of the coffin buried under the ground. Eva sat on her knees to remove the mud with her hand and when the villagers realized that the coffin could soon be out they swept themselves out from the area . The entire graveyard turned empty leaving Eva's father and Eva alone in the place. Eva's father was shocked at the pure determination of his daughter. The way she had succeeded but felt a bit tensed. Finally he broke his silence and said in a pleading tone,
" come back here Eva.Try to escape from that dungen that you have created", he said but Eva didn't turn to him. Suddenly the trees started dancing with the scary winds again, the sun hid behind the cloud and the area became completely dark. It became so dark that it represented night sky. Eva's father couldn't see Eva now and he removed his mobile from his pocket to look at his daughter but the flash from the mobile won't help him. The darkness during the day time filled his soul with darkness too. He got scared and ran out of the gate. On the other hand, Eva could see everything. The darkness was not for her. It was still a day time but the wind blew extremely hard. Eva, when saw her mother's coffin, she tried taking the lid off but couldn't do it as it required a huge strength
She used the tree trunk to break the lid but the coffin was extremely strong that the trunk broke but the stone didn't. Eva had no other chance now. She was breathing hard, panting after so much work and she had no water to drink.Since she had no other choice left now, she jumped on the coffin breaking it and she fell on a cold stone like floor. Eva closed her eyes when she fell and she thought that she would have landed on her mother's remains but instead of landing on a pointed bone skeleton she ended up on a smooth floor. Eva slowly opened her eyes and saw that she is in a tomb kind of thing. There was a coffin right in front of her but she was not in the graveyard anymore. The place had stone walls, stone floor with a luxurious room and antique things in it. She slowly got up to check the house. There were no windows nor doors. She slowly walked moving her hand on the stone walls to the other room. There was a huge bedroom with a huge beer shell near it. Eva ran to the shelf and grabbed a bottle of beer and touched it with her lips to drink it but as soon as she drank it she spat everything out.
" BLOOD!!! ", she shouted really hard.
