The Rise Of The Saviour

He was marveling at the fan when Daniel snapped his fingers in front of him and said, "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

Morpheous turned to look at Daniel and asked,

"Who told you to put that weapon over my head? Are you a man of Nubeous?"

"Nube what? And that"s not a weapon. That"s a fan. You speak as if you are a Neanderthal man. How much did you take yesterday man!" remarked Daniel and then said,

"Follow me!"

Forgetting the pain, Morpheous looked around the house and was surprised to see every single thing looking so distinct, and most importantly he had no idea what each of the things did. This novel house with its novel things and novel beings was like a pandora"s box for him. He had no idea what was there next.

All that he wanted now was to find his sister and get away from this place with her.

Daniel stopped in front of a door and slowly opened it by rotating its k.n.o.b and then pointing at the bed, he said,

"There is that girl. Is that your sister?"

And craning his neck inside, Morpheous saw his little Eva sleeping peacefully like a tiny lamb and a sense of solace returned. His frayed nerves calmed a bit to see her safe. There was a woman who was sitting on the floor, but her head was resting on the same bed that Eva was on and she was also sound asleep.

There was a water bowl next to her on the floor and a couple of kerchiefs around, so Morpheous could guess that she had nursed Eva throughout the night. He couldn"t see her face but he was grateful to her for helping his sister. He slowly went in and touched Eva"s forehead with the back of his palm to check upon her temperature.

He went in as quietly as possible and kept his movements very restricted so as to not to wake up the woman who was resting. But as if she had a sixth sense, she lifted up her head and turned around.

Seeing the woman slowly waking up, Morpheous took a couple of steps back so as to not scare her out but instead he got the shock of his life as she turned.

"Nef..... You are... You are alive? Oh my G.o.d, you re alive?"

"Ummmhhhh... are you feeling fine young man?" asked the woman turning towards Morpheous as her sleep was broken with his movement and his words.

"This guy is her brother! Now we don"t have to freak out and search for their families," said Daniel and then left the room to relieve himself.

"It"s me Morpheous! Don"t you recognize me?" he asked as he could see that she had a weird look in her eyes as if she didn"t even know who he was and saying that Morpheous went close to her and knelt on the floor and said,

"If you can just this once forgive me and all my mistakes, then I promise to you that I would be the son that you always wanted in your heart. I cannot believe you are alive!" he said again and hugged her tight. There were tears in his eyes that he couldn"t shed before.

"Errmmm... Ok! Excuse me! Boy! Man! Mister!" said the woman and tried to break out of the embrace that Morpheous had pulled her into and asked,

"Does my face look familiar to someone that you know? Yesterday night this girl also called me her mother and babbled. I just a.s.sumed that she was sick and took me as her mother, but I think you are mistaken here. I am not who you think I am," said the woman and then looked out at the door to see if anyone was out there as this guy was sort of freaking her out.

Unable to understand the tears that he had in his eyes, she asked,

"Where do you live? Give me the contact number of your parents. I call them up?"

She looked at Morpheous with a slightly weirded out expression on her face and seeing that Morpheous got heartbroken and asked,

"Fine! You don"t recognize me, I accept that, but don"t you remember Eva? Your own daughter whom you nursed the whole night yesterday. If you don"t remember her then why did you care for her so much? Why did you care for me? You could have left us outside. Why did you give us shelter in your house?"

"Becasue that"s basic humanity. That"s what humans do - Help each other out in need," she said and then looked towards the door and yelled.

"Erm... Daniel! Daniel!"

"Mom! How many times I have told you not to yell at me when I am doing my business!" yelled Daniel as he came out of the washroom.

"Call Leonard. I think these people need some serious help. Ask him to call 911 and reach for the trauma center and please get me my stethoscope as well," said the woman and then got up from the floor.

"And Daniel, for G.o.d"s sake put on some pants, my child. My eyes really hurt to see you in these boxers."

Then a bit hesitatingly she extended her hand towards Morpheous and said, "I am Dr. Natashsa Rutherford. Don"t worry, your sister is all right. And whatever is wrong with you, we can figure it out."

Morpheous couldn"t believe that Nefeli was unable to recognize him and Eva. Either it was her or destiny had played a cruel joke on them. Even though he felt elated seeing her alive, he still felt wounded for she seemed different. She gave out a different vibe.

There were hundreds of questions that he wanted to ask her, but his attention went towards Eva as he saw her waking up.

"Eva!" he exclaimed and rushed towards her.

"Morpheous!" she exclaimed in happiness as she saw his face but then seeing the woman next to him, her mouth just opened in shock.
