Beginning Of The End (Part-2)

In the previous part, we got to know that seven random people get kidnapped within few weeks and all they had in common was a mark on the left shoulder. Also, all of them were new to the country. The police have no clue about it. The only thin hint with them was a story told by Dr. Martin and they all were in dilemma of the authenticity of the story. Let's find out everything about it.

"Okay, Dr. Martin it is confirmed that all had marks on their left shoulder. What's peculiar about that marks. What do you know about it? And how all that is related to these kidnappings.?" asked Sergeant Nicolai.

Dr. Martin: I will try my level best to make you understand everything I know about it, but will you do me one more favor before I tell you the entire story.

Nicolai (irritatingly): What professor?

Dr. Martin: Can you please call your superior who can put this thing in front of the government if found true, someone who has contacts with the government and also Dr. James Godwin, a professor at MIT who has knowledge of Earth science and physics related to it.

Nicolai: Okay let me see what I can do. But be sure you have something worth it to say. We are calling some important people here.

Dr. Martin: Don't worry, everything will be done fine.

2 hours later,

"Welcome, sir Simon Reid from Secret Services and hello Dr. James Godwin. Thank you two for coming on such a short notice."

Simon Reid: Not a problem as long as it is important.

James Godwin: What does the police want from me. How can I be of any help?

Nicolai: All your answers will be given by Dr. Martin who asked me to call you. It's related to a case. Let me give you some of its insights. Dr. Martin let's begin with the tale, shall we?

Dr. Martin: Yes, sure. Please, everyone, listen to me carefully as what I am going to tell you might seem to you unbelievable, so please, believe me, I am telling the truth. Please listen to the whole story and then you can ask anything.

Dr. Martin starts the story......

' This goes back to the time when the human population was very less, in the beginning of the human existence. The people those days lived in tribes who worshiped the nature. For them, nature was their God as it provided them food to eat and shelter to stay. They believed that nature was kind to them when they did good and was harsh when they did anything bad. They lived near the Appalachian mountains. There were 8 different tribes located in the vicinity of the mountains. Among them 7 believed in the higher authority who watched them as the deeds they do in their life. So they all lived peacefully together, while the remaining one tribe believed in supremacy and domination among the other tribes. The people of this tribe were very cruel and killed the people of the other tribe for no reason just to instill fear among them. 

As a result of it, the people in the rest tribes were slowly decreasing in number. They didn't know what to do so decided to ask their God- Nature as what should they do. All the tribes collectively gathered in the cave near the Appalachian mountains without the knowledge of that one tribe and started mass fast. They started calling the God in unison and remained empty stomach till God pays them a visit. Days started passing. A week passed, then also none of them deter from what they have decided. Some were fainted due to not eating but rest were involved in calling the God. It had been 10 days and people were suffering, few of them have lost their body too. But rest was still praying. Suddenly a light appeared in front of them. It was coming from the crevice at the top of the mountain. It was something which none have seen before. Then came the voice.

" I am pleased by your dedication towards me. I have created you all equal so why do you want to rule over one another. Why can't you all stay with each other peacefully? I know you are in grave danger and some of my creation was hurting you all a lot. I am pleased with your worship and I am sorry for the sacrifices you made while praying for me. I was just checking your faith towards me. Don't worry I will help you survive against them. Please, all the leaders come and stand in the light."
After few moments, the voice continued " I have gifted you enough intelligence to tackle the people who harm you. Now no more harm will be done to you. Also, there is something more which might help you not now but in future maybe. I have given all 7 of you a mark on the left shoulder which will remain on you forever and will be carried on younger generations only on the boy child. Each mark is an essential part of the puzzle, which on combining will take you to this." 

All the people saw a big chest, just like the ones which can have jewels and precious things filled in them.

The voice again started," This chest will be hidden somewhere here in the mountain range only to be used in extreme crises in future. The marks on you will be the important pieces of the puzzle which on being solved will act as a map to where it is hidden. All the seven of you together only can create the map as each piece is important. The chest functions as a savior. Think what you need and ask the chest to create it for you and within moments you will get it inside the chest. If you don't know what you want, just describe the situation you are in and the chest will create the best possible solution to the problem. But use wisely because it can harm the nature. It uses nature's power to create the things to create it but as it creates in very less time, so much of energy of nature is used and if the chest is used more often, nature might create problems for you. So think before you ask anything from it. Lastly, it depends only on you if you want to tell this thing to your young ones or not. Bless you, my children."

The light disappeared and the people were happy that they will now survive against the cruel tribe. Then came the new dawn and seemed that with new found intelligence they all gave a tough fight to the cruel tribe and tribe left the place to be settled somewhere else. Also all the 7 tribes were not in favor of using the chest as they believed they will not face any ill effects of nature until they do anything bad which they won't, so they all decided to leave the place and settle in various other parts so that they won't use the box for personal gains and use their own intelligence to live life facing anything that comes towards them and forgets that gift. With this, all the tribes left the place except for one who will safeguard the mountains and only the younger ones of that tribe will know everything about the mark and the chest.'

It took two and half hours for Dr. Martin to tell this and after that everyone was confused. Simon Reid, the secret service guy asked him," So what you are saying is that these kidnappings were done to reach the chest if there really is some chest?"

Dr. Martin: I know you won't believe me but it is true, the mark on the shoulder proves that.

Nicolai: How can you be so sure about such things and how do you know so much about it?

Dr. Martin: My Ph.D. guide professor researched on this. While I was his student, he showed me some of his research and I came to know about it. Though he had also warned me not to tell this to anyone and I would not have told you about it, but lives are at stake here.

Nicolai: But how did your guide professor knew about it? Only the tribe staying in the Appalachian mountains knew about it.

Dr. Martin: He told me that once during his research he went to Appalachian mountains and there he met the tribe. He and his team helped them a lot in some of their days to day problems and so their leader told him about the tale which intrigued the professor and so he stayed back while his team left and researched on them. But the leader of the tribe made him promised not to publish that research and not to tell anything to anyone about this as it can create problems for the people of this tribe.
Simon Reid: So how does the kidnapper came to know about all this and how did he found all of the person belonging to 7 different tribes.

Dr. Martin: Guess we need to find out that.

Nicolai: What happened to the research of your guide professor. He didn't publish it but where did it all go?

Dr. Martin: I don't know about it. We lost contact after I finished my Ph.D. and he died a few years ago and I was so caught up in my work that I didn't even go to his funeral. Maybe his family might know about it.

Nicolai: Officer Harris, please work on it. Contact his family and know everything about it.

James Godwin: Excuse me people can anyone tell me why am I called?

Dr. Martin: Yes professor, as I described and as I was told, the chest used the power of the earth to create things and what can be the repercussions of overusing it.

James Godwin: See professor if what you told is true, first of all, this thing is scientifically speaking not even possible as there is no device who can use raw energy of nature to create things. It seems like a wish-fulfilling chest of some children's storybook. But if it is really there then according to me, it will use the core power of the earth which creates everything that is around us that nature has gifted us. There is a cycle of everything which is created meaning a time in which that particular thing comes in shape, for example, coal or petroleum. It took a lot of years for them to form. So the energy of earth is used conservatively in creating all the things around us giving itself time to replenish itself simultaneously and if this chest creates things fast, then it will use a lot of core energy of earth at an instance which might create energy imbalance in the core and using the chest more and more can create energy voids in the core as the earth doesn't get enough time to replenish its core energy lost in creating things. So it might disturb nature and repercussions can be huge.

Simon Reid: Are you talking about a global apocalypse professor?

James Godwin: This is something which I understood from what Dr. Martin told and as far as my knowledge goes, this is the way how the chest might work and the repercussions can be any natural calamity and the intensity of it might depend on the energy used by the chest which depends on the thing which chest is creating.

Nicolai: We need to find all the kidnapped people so that nothing sort of this can happen. I hope it's not late and the kidnapper has not reached the chest.

As they were busy discussing things, they felt something below their feet. It seemed as if the land below their feet was moving to and fro. They felt  strong dizziness and were not able to stand on their feet. The trophies on the cupboards of police station fell down along with the things hanged on the wall. They all searched for something to hold on to for support to save them from falling. People everywhere in the police station ran out from the police station to save lives. All were frightened as they hadn't experienced such a thing before. All somehow came out of the police station and after few moments it stopped. All tried to catch their breath and then Sergeant Nicolai spoke," What was it? I have never experienced such a thing before.

Simon Reid: I fear they have got to the chest. We need to hurry before they blow the entire earth.

Nicolai: I guess we need to save the entire world now, not just those 7 kidnapped people.

Dr. Martin: The end is near.I hope we get to them before it's too late.

                                            To be Continued...............................

Who was behind all this? How did he get to the chest? How will the police and team reach them? Is the world in danger? If yes,  would they be able to save them? All your answers are just one part away. Wait for the Final part. Till then just stay curious..........................

Memories!!

The main door of house no 24, Alishaan society unlocked as Jay  came back from work. It was 31 st   December and so he had taken short leave from work in order to rest and be ready for the party hosted by one of his colleagues for welcoming the new  year. He kept the keys on the table beside the couch and threw himself on the couch as if his legs have given up. He was just at the boundary and was about to enter the world of peace when the doorbell rang twice. Feeling irritated and mentally cursing the person outside he went to open the door. It was his neighbour, who had come to give his letters and some other stuff which in his absence was taken by him. He thanked him, closed the door behind him and checked the letters. None of them were much important. He lied down again on the couch trying to sleep, but felt deprived of it. He went to the washbasin, washed his face and sat on his favourite rocking chair and started checking his phone. 17 Whatsapp messages from 13...

The Confession!!

“Madam ticket please, where do you want to go?”, asked the bus conductor, but the person didn’t pay any heed. The bus conductor asked again, more firmly but all in vain. She was completely engrossed in her thoughts. He then asked the person sitting next to the lost cause to bring her to senses to pay for the ticket. Finally, it worked and the conductor asked again,” Where do you want to go?”. “Goa “, the voice came from her. The girl took the ticket, kept it in her purse and went back to the same position as she was before. She leaned her elbow on the grill of the bus’s window and kept her face on the elbow, to feel the cool breeze and went back to where she was, in her past. ‘Life is amazing, weird, partial, frustrating and what not. Just like a rainbow, life also has shades which completes each other and without it, there is no meaning. At one moment you feel like you have everything and within a blink of eye, you are left with nothing. Life can be cruel, and it doesn’t kee...
