It is Dusk (late evening) and Dark
occupied the entire forest; the tribal people of that forest are busy in their
works in their village. All the tribal children sat around the fire and set to
talk about the things happening in the forest. One of the children, Baku asked
to his friends
“Why
we are not allowed to go towards the forest river at the end of this forest?”
Then
a child came near to him and said “my father said that there is a half burnt
house at the banks of that forest river, in that house there is a sleeping
beast at the top of the house, which looks half tiger and half women, if any
person dared to go there they will be killed by that beast”.
After discussing about the beast, the tribal children
decided to play hide and seek in the forest. Baku started to count the numbers
and the rest ran into the forest to hide.
Baku after counting the numbers started to go into the
forest to find his friends. Slowly the evening turned into night, the moon in
the sky is red in colour. Baku is still searching for his friends. It became
Dawn, He doesn’t know where he is going, but he is in a hope to find his
friends. He finally understood that he lost his path, he started to feel
thirsty, and he searched for water. Finally he heard a river flowing in the dark,
he ran towards it and drank the water and filled his stomach. As he is
drinking, he heard some disturbances behind him in the thick bushes. He turned
back and saw nothing, and it is silent all over.
He
sat on a stone on the banks of that river and started to see all around. He
felt that he never came to this place. He now started to feel like something is
watching him from behind. He turned back and went near the bushes at the bank
of that river; he now remembered his friend’s words of the forest river, half
burnt house, tiger- women beast. He now started to shiver, he is now at the
river banks of that forest river, he can also see a half burnt house at a
distance.
The
forest is silent and the red moon is shining in the sky, he decided to run away
from this place as early as possible, he slowly stepped back and heard a grunt
behind him, he slowly turned back and something sprang on him and pulled him
into the forest. Tore body parts of Baku with blood all over can be seen at the
river side. The blood of Baku flowed and mixed in the river; looks like the
tiger-women beast fulfilled its hungry this dark night. The forest again
returned to silence.
The Fetus
Some years ago,
River side house, at the end of the forest,
That night, Dr.Robin Thomas, gave tablets to his wife, Alice Thomas. Dr.Robin
Thomas is so happy that he is going to have a baby in his hand in a day or two.
He did all the house hold works keeping Alice away
from work. Now he got an important call from his laboratory, he made his
pregnant wife to sleep. He opened the door outside and found it is raining
hard.
He went into his car and wondered how he is
going to drive in a dark rainy night. Wind is blowing at high speed, trees and
twigs can be seen falling on the forest road. He finally crossed the village
and entered the city and finally to his laboratory. It took him 35 minutes time
to reach to his lab from his house.
There in laboratory,
Dr.Robin Thomas experiment of combining the DNA’s of some animals was failed, actually
he tried to create a new living creature, using the combination of 3 animal DNAs
and introducing it into the embryo of a cat. He took great care of that cat and
he slowly made the new species to grow in that cat embryo for almost a month,
now when he came to his laboratory driving in this dark rainy night he found
the cat dead and the embryo in its womb also died.
Robin’s
experiment failed and now he called his superior officers and begged for one more
chance, but they denied and they said that “he is careless and worthless to
just take care of a cat and how he is able to handle a lab”. But though after
hearing those words, he went on begging for a chance and finally the superiors
gave only one chance to prove him, if he fails to utilise this chance they will
remove him from his job.
Now Robin sat in his lab and there he took out
the dead embryo from the cat’s body and he started examining what happened
wrong. Suddenly there came a call from his home, he denied it and again another
call came from his wife, he lifted it and there he came to know that his wife,
Alice is getting pains, immediately he came out of the laboratory and drove his
care at high speed and he reached home in 30 minutes, now he saw Alice lying on
the floor lifeless and she is bleeding from her mouth.
Robin
went near to Alice and he cried bitterly and he also came to know that his baby
also died in the womb. Robin and Alice dreamt to have a girl baby and they
named the baby as Mary and they waited eagerly for Mary’s arrival but Robin’s
dream collapsed and his cat with the experiment embryo also dead and now he is
getting an unbearable pain at the bottom of his heart. He lost both his
experiment living being and his daughter and also his wife. That night ended
with a shower of tears and blood in that house situated far away from city in
that village in the forest.
Robin
became alone and now he decided to show his talent in doing an experiment which
no scientist started in the lab. Now he wanted to get success in that experiment.
So now he decided to combine two experiments into a single experiment. In short
he is going to make a living being using human DNA and animal DNA.
This
experiment is not done by any scientist because it is a rule in the lab, not to
use human DNA in the experiments, because they can create new form of human
life and may become Havoc to humans. So, now he wanted to do this unauthorized
and unknowing to anyone and he wanted to show that there forms can become a new
human evolution and can be helpful to humans, he wanted to get success with
this experiment.
He now collected some animal DNA’s which he
found in his lab, he unknowingly combined the tiger DNA in the DNA collection, he
now collected the DNA of his own. He tried to combine them into a single DNA
form. The result is failed to combine. Later he tried to combine the animal DNA
with some other persons DNA which he found in his lab, but the result is failed
to combine again.
He
tried to search for any other person’s DNA sample in his shelves and his
cupboards and found none. He took out the file it is the confidential pregnancy
report of his wife when she had her pregnancy check up. He sat on his sofa and
carefully examined it and there he found DNA sample of her wife.
He
took that sample and he tried to combine her DNA with the animals. There it
took more time to check and finally the result showed failed to combine. He now
understood that the combining process may be wrong. But before going to
collapse the equipment, he wanted to try the DNA sample of his baby which he
also found in that report and there the combination failed again. Robin became
mad and gave a punch on the keyboard, and thereby he pressed retry combination
unknowingly and there came the “combination succeeded”. After all the DNA test
combinations with the animal DNA, only Mary’s DNA (his dead child DNA)
succeeded to combine.
There
Robin became so happy and he is going to get a result as a solution of both his
experimental and personal problem. He named this new DNA creature as Mary. Now
he set to start work with the combined DNA of animal and DNA of Mary. So, he
started to work harder to get success in his house lab located in his house
near the forest.
Now, he is using an
animal embryo and he made an artificial womb set up in his home lab and there he made a artificial womb and now he set up a
machine which consists of Man- made artificial Womb and there he introduced a cat embryo and he allowed to
grow it in the womb, when it came to 2
weeks embryo, He implanted the human DNA into the 2 week Embryo and he started to
study the embryo. He implanted at 2 weeks stage became. At this
Stage the embryo is going to start
building organs and shape itself according to its DNA. Now he implanted human
DNA into it so that he wanted to bring out the baby as a human and He wanted to make human child with animal Embryo. Slowly the days passed and there are Changes in the embryo.
The embryo is shaping into a human baby, there slowly the fetus is growing, he is taking great care in order to take out Mary alive and as a human
Slowly lungs and heart developed, now it was 8 Weeks and he is supplying the food and oxygen through tubes.
He is also
supplying required glucose, acids, vitamins, minerals, Anti bodies for healthy baby.
He is also took care in order to regulate the pressure inside and outside the fetus.
Robin is working day and night
in order to
get success.
Days passed,
6 months
passed, still one more month,
he is going to have his baby back and also his experiment back. He went into the lab
room and checked the blood circulation, oxygen and growth levels, all were positive. He took a deep breath and he went near to the
artificial womb and he felt the
fatherly feeling and his face shows how eager
he is waiting
for Mary to come out. He said, “daddy’s here don't
feel afraid, I promise you
to take out as early as possible".
That night after taking a look in the lab, he went to
his bed and He had a sound sleep and
comfortable sleep after months of
hard work. Next morning he woke up and opened his lab door, he found some fluid spilled all over the lab.
He wondered what
happened and he finally understood that fluid is the water around the womb.
He ran to the artificial womb and saw the artificial womb machine
glasses broken and the womb tore into pieces. He suddenly understood and found the embryo in the womb missing, and then he started to search all over the lab and he feared what happened.
There were tiny foot prints all over
the lab; it is silent all over in that dark lab. He found the baby missing
and he started to cry out, but suddenly the entire
lab became silent and he can hear the
breathing of
the baby, he slowly followed the sound and he found the baby under the stool.
He immediately fixed the artificial womb and now he
again placed the Baby back in the womb. But due to the lack of required drugs and other items at the required time, gradually some changes started to take place in the fetus and there some external organs started developing like animal parts to that baby in the womb.
There came letter from his lab from his superiors,
He opened it
and read. It read that they were very
confident in Robin’s experiment as they provided very high Quality
equipment for Robin, yet they don't know that he is doing outside the lab in his house and yet they are hoping for a positive outcome.
Robin's house is located in a village and beside a river at the end of the forest, his house is the only house situated at the banks of the forest river beside the forest. Robin's went out for hunting this morning and bought a
bird which fe shot from the river bank. He used to eat those birds which live in the forest.
Days passed and there are many changes in the baby in the womb, yet he is hoping for a positive outcome.
8 months completed and the baby is healthy inside and
the time to take out the baby arrived. He slowly bought
out the baby from
the artificial womb. And there the baby cried
out but the baby's appearance made robin slightly disappoint.
The baby got a pair of
cat eyes and the baby also has pointed
teeth like a carnivorous and his body is slightly
striped and apart from all she has a tail. Yet she looked like animal he didn't understood what to do. She looked like a human with animal eyes, teeth and a tail.
He failed to bring out a complete human baby and he also failed to bring out the baby as his
daughter. Yet she disappointed his professional life, he don't want to lose her. So,
he replied to
the letter for the superior that due to some circumstances, his experiment
failed and he also mentioned that he is going to resign from his job.
After resigning his job, he took his animal
Baby (Mary) into his lap and
kissed her and promised to look after
her , and grow her away from humans in that
house far from city.
Slowly Mary started growing and she became active in 5 years, as she has some cat characteristics.
He doesn’t know that those were not cat characteristics, they were tiger
characteristics. Mary used to help robin in hunting animals and thereby they used to become closer, Mary used to run with
all 4 legs.
Robin always
worried seeing her characteristics and he wanted to make her as a human.
One day while
they two went for hunting, Mary saw some Children playing in the fields. She instead
of hunting she diverted and moved towards the children and they started to run seeing her beast appearance and thinking her as a
beast. Mary thought they were also animals too and so, she caught a child's leg and there by injuring him with blood over flowing.
Robin tried to control Mary, but he was unable and it injured the child at the heart and scratched all
over the face of
that child, Robin found a beast in her, she calmed down only after killing the child. Robin now understood that something went wrong in the experiment
and he found that she is having tiger DNA in her body; he now also understood why the rules in the
lab said not to use human DNA samples in the experiments.
Now the other children went into the village and
spread news that there is a beast
in the forest which killed a
child.
They also said that the beast is
living in the house at the banks of the river. But this news is not known to
robin. Robin is feeling nervous about Mary and her characteristics, he yet
wanted to kill her, he was unable because she too is now a living thing and he
has no right to kill her.
At mid night, all the villagers attacked
the house at once and then robin came into senses and started to search a place
to hide Mary away from the villagers, there is no way out of the house as they
surrounded the house. They suddenly started to lit fire to the house and the
house started to burn with fire and robin didn't understand what to do and
where to hide. Finally robin saw the artificial womb machine at the attic and
he also knows that the womb machine is fire proof and shock proof. He placed
Mary in the womb machine in the liquid and he arranged for the food supply and
oxygen supply tubes into it. All this going on because Mary is not in senses,
she is in deep sleep.
Finally robin after keeping her in
the womb machine, he himself accidentally slipped into the fire and lost life
and the entire house burnt in the silent midnight, and villagers went away
thinking that the beast was dead.
Present day
10 years passed and the village not
yet developed and the people living in it are the same and the same forest is
always as clam as usual ,rains started and the forest became green with rain
drops was filling every leaf . The house beside the river at the end of the
forest is silent with half burnt and there were rumours that the beast is not
dead and it is sleeping in the attic, while some say it was dead. No one knew
the truth and most people were thinking the beast was dead.
One rainy night, John is moving in
his car with his family from the city to another city, he is now moving in
through the forest, as the way linking the two cities is only the road through
the forest. Jessy, the wife of John is holding her son, Peter in her lap, she
is saying to her husband that Peter's body temperature is very high and we must
take him to some hospital.
Peter, the 15 years old boy ignored her
mother words and said "mom, it’s not a problem I am okay, no need of any
hospital". Peter fears for the injection so, he acts like he had nothing.
Yet his words are lying, his body is telling the truth. As the car is in the
middle of the forest, there the car started giving trouble, John got down the
car in the dark and he switched on his torch, he saw that there is a trouble in
engine. Now he was helpless and waited for any vehicle to come in that way, no
vehicle came, it became almost midnight and the rain is still falling.
John saw some fire lights from the
road, he understood that it’s a tribal village, he took Peter and Jessy in that
rain and reached the village, there the tribal gave residence to them and they
had a peaceful dinner and they also cured Peter with their natural techniques
and the dark rainy night finally ended.
Peter, woke up that morning and he
rejoiced that his fever was cured and he also met his tribal friends and there
seeing the village atmosphere Jessy and John also wanted to stay in that
village for some days. They liked the climate and they liked the people and
apart from all Peter got some friends and he too liked the place.
John is a survey officer in city, he don’t
know that there is a village like this in the forest. He wanted to learn the
lifestyle and the soil fertility and the geographical features of the village.
Coming to Jessy she is a doctor in the city, and she wanted to live in the
village to learn all the natural techniques for curing the diseases and at last
Peter, he is a adventurous person and he actually don't like to meet new people
and he don't like to have friends. But here he made some tribal friends mainly
Juka became the dearest friend in this village.
It rained all the afternoon, and in the
evening the rain stopped and there all the children of the village decided to
play a game, they all went to forest taking Peter and there they will play
games, now they decided to play hide and seek.
There Juka started to count the numbers
and all the children ran into the forest in all directions to hide. Peter is
confused where to hide and he decided to move towards the direction which no
one choose, as Peter went some distance Juka saw him going towards that
direction, he started to get nervous and he ran behind Peter in order to stop
him going towards that direction, but Peter was now out of sight and Juka
missed his path and he started to feel nervous as he did not tell the rules of
village to Peter, he must not go towards that direction
Peter after running some distance he came to a
river, he slowly passed the river and moved to the other bank of the river and
there he saw a half -burnt house and yet he wanted to go inside it, his heart
is somewhere objecting him not to go towards it, as it looked so scary. Peter
being a adventurous person he reached the gate and there he slowly pushed the
old rusty gate and moved towards the door.
The
jungle is calm and there were no sounds from the surrounding, as it is like
something is going to happen. He is nearing the house, he now felt like
something is watching him from the top of the house. Slowly he moved near to
the door and there he decided to open it. Now he felt again like someone is
watching from behind him from the forest. He felt like something is moving
around him and looking towards him. He can feel the sound of the footsteps of
something. Peter understood that something is going wrong and he started to run
into the forest and he there after crossed the river and started to run back
towards the place where they are playing.
There the sky is getting dark and he is
running at his full speed, He can feel like something is still following him
from behind, he can hear the footsteps which are moving faster than his speed.
He is yet running at his speed in that dark forest, he can feel that the thing
is almost near to him and there something jumped onto Peter from behind and
there he looked into Juka’s face.
Then Peter took a deep
breath and said that he thought something is following him, Then Juka said, it
was he himself following him from behind.
Peter- Is that you, who looked towards
me at the half-burnt house?
Juka- What? You went into that
half-burnt house?
Peter- Yes. But is it not you who
looked me at the half-burnt house?
Juka- No, I’m not. I saw
you running just 5 minutes ago and I followed you just now and caught you.
Peter- I felt like someone
is following me from that half-burnt house.
Juka-I forgot to tell you
to not go towards the half-burnt house.
Peter- Why?
Juka- It was believed that
a half-animal and a half- human beast is sleeping since some years and it may
be alive or dead there. While, some say it is still alive and recently killed a
boy. It may kill humans, those who enter that house.
Peter after hearing about that half
animal-half human beast, he wanted to know and chase the mystery of that sleeping
or the dead beast. He decided to chase the mystery, as he already visited that
half-burnt house once.
Peter woke up early morning the next
day and he went to his car at the middle of the forest and there he opened the
bonnet of the car and took out a revolver, which he hid from his grandfather
and he made his way towards the mysterious house in that rainy morning.
He opened the gate of that half
burnt house and took a deep breath and went into the half-burnt house, no one
yet dared to go into that house. It was calm and dark inside the house. He put
on his torch and moved into the house, his footsteps are echoing all over the
house. There were many rats moving here and there in the dark. It was calm
inside and there were sounds of the rain drops falling down the roof into the
earthen pots can be heard.
There the house yet looked so
scary. He didn’t feel like it is scary, he put on his torch light on the walls
of the house. There were photos which were completely burned and as he moved
towards the steps. There he risked moving upstairs and there he found a small
room and there he found an old computer on the desk. He opened the shelves of
the desk and there were dusty reports and files and there he found a black and
white photo of a couple, i.e., of Dr. Robin Thomas and Mrs. Alice Thomas.
Peter started to study the files
and reports and he came to know that they were the reports of pregnancy and
there he found an old half-burnt diary on the desk. He took the reports and
diary and came down the house and reached back to the village by afternoon.
Juka and Peter sat around the fire
that night and there Peter said everything what he saw in the house and Juka
kept his mouth wide open.
Juka- You went into that
half-burnt house again?
Peter- Yes. There is no
such beast in that house, it is the house of a happy family and there I got
this diary. Looks like it may be the biography of Dr. Robin Thomas the owner of
the house.
Peter opened the half-burnt diary
and there he started to read the first page. There is a big heading, “Day 56”
and sub-headings “Week 8”, and there down written the “Observation”, ”Oxygen
level- check, Glucose- check, Heart beat- normal and Growth rate-normal”, and
there down, it was written, “the Fetus is healthy”, and “Date- 16th
November 1989”.
Peter’s mother- Jessy being a
doctor, Peter has some minimum knowledge about the pregnancy and he came to
know that the diary is a record of observations of a growing baby in a womb. He
now checked the reports. He found there he found that the wife of Dr. Robin
Thomas, Mrs. Alice was dead on “19th June, 1988”. He was surprised
to see, “how can a baby be grown without a mother”. It was almost a year
between the death of Alice and observation date of the baby. Peter is now
called by his mother to have dinner.
After having dinner, Peter slept
beside his mother and then, after sometime, Jessy saw Peter not yet sleeping.
Jessy- How’s your day
today Peter?
Peter- Well, great, adventurous.
Jessy- Then why are you not sleeping?
Peter- Mom, can a baby be born
without a mother? (Curiously)
Jessy- Well, yes it can be, by using
an artificial womb machine, we can make a
baby. But they are only used for animals not for humans and only used in
labs, as we must take great care in using those machines. But, why do you get
that doubt?
Peter- Why shouldn’t we experiment
there artificial womb machines for humans, yet we may create some new, using
them.
Jessy- Yes, we can create some new
species but they may result to some dangerous species and they can kill humans.
So, there in the lab rules, the first rule is to not use human DNA in these
experiments.
Peter
after hearing this, he kept silent and he wanted to ask another question but
his mother stopped him from asking further questions and said him to go to
sleep, as it was already midnight.
Next
morning, Peter observed the entire diary and he found some diagrams in it and,
those are the shapes of the embryo in the womb. The shape looked just like a
human baby. As he turned the pages, on one page, Robin wrote all the
observations as negative and abnormal and there Robin wrote the result as “The
baby fell off the womb”.
And
later Peter went on turning the pages, there everything was normal but there
was a change in the shape of embryo. The embryo shape has changed with animal
shaped features.
There in the end of the dairy, Robin wrote “my
experiment failed and I am resigning my job”. Now after reading this dairy, he
came to know that Dr.Robin Thomas want his baby, so he made his baby to born in
a artificial womb machine and due to some conditions the baby shapes changed
and so, the baby may be dead. He concluded himself like this, but he remembered
the words of Juka, that there is a half human and half animal beast.
Now he came to know why they call it as a beast just
by its appearance. Then Juka said that “the beast injured and killed a child”,
then peter came to know that the baby is not dead and it was given something
and something is injected into her.
Next day peter again went to the half
burnt house in order to clear his entire doubts. He saw the entire room on the
top of the half burnt house in order to find the artificial womb machine. He
worried that if that baby still exists then there will be a great problem to
the villagers so he started to search the entire house. After searching he got mad and he threw his
torch upwards and there the torch hit the top ceiling wall and there came an
echo sound upwards then, peter came to understand that there is an attic to
this room, he brought a ladder and there he went into the attic.
It is dark inside and there he
switched on the torch and went into that dark room and there were chemicals and
some research equipment and seeing these peter came to know that It is an old
laboratory, there he went inside that lab, there he decided to go back to the
down room, he heard the sounds of the something breathing in that lab he slowly
went backside of the lab, there he found a big glass container filled with some
liquid and there he found a machine. He can also see an oxygen supplying
machine and then he come to know that there is a living thing in that glass
container, he looked into the glass and see a structure of a girl.
There were human hands and there is a human
head with long hair and he went to another machine which is showing the structure
of the fetus in the womb the structure is absolutely perfect as a teenage girl,
but there suddenly, there came a beep sound from the heart beat monitor and Peter
started to get nervous, and the fetus inside the container also stopped to take
breath.
Peter pressed a button on the heart
beat monitor which showed “ restart” then there again movement started in the
body inside the container and she started taking breathing now he changed his
intension and he wanted to see the fetus alive and bring her out to the world.
He went to the village, he tore the
page in the dairy which was written “the experiment failed” and he started to
write in the next page “day-5480”
,”week-782”, heart beat- normal”, breathing-normal”.“The fetus is having a
complete human structure”.” Experiment continued”.
Now, He resumed the experiment paused by
Dr.Robin Thomas. But his relation to that girl “Mary” is not yet known.
Days passed, everyday peter used to
come to this lab alone and used to spend time here, checking the condition of Mary
and used to write the observation and he wanted to see her and to bring out of
this glass container as a human.
One rainy morning, there occurred a
small pressure difference in the glass container and due to which Mary started
to float on the water, when she reached to the top of the water, her connection
wires with heart monitors and respiratory tubes were last. There she slowly
opened her eyes, it is completely dark, she slowly tried to get down the glass
container, and finally after several tries she came out from the glass, due to
the heavy wind the windows of the lab started to open. She is unable to walk, she
moved by taking support of the cupboards. She slowly neared the mirror; the
entire lab is now in lighting. She looked herself into the mirror; her face is
like a human, beautiful eyes, nose, and hair. Mouth and her hands are
completely like human, white and smooth her body is in the shape of a girl and
coming to her legs, they were like animal and there is a long tail still to
her.
There, peter is watching this entire incident
happening in the lab standing at the door, there Mary after watching herself in
the mirror, she slipped back and then peter caught her from behind and now they
are looking into each other. Mary felt something in her heart looking into
peter’s face and peter too felt something looking into Mary’s face
There started a young love in the
young hearts, Peter slowly taught her how to wear dress and he slowly thought
her how to talk and slowly they started to get closer and everything is alright
but peter always wanted to change her legs and tail back into normal.
Peter used to bring all the eatables and
dresses for her to wear from the village. Mary loved to live with Peter and
slowly 6 months passed. Mary is now able to talk but not fluently and she is
able to play with toys and she is able to walk without support and on the other
side, Peter is already studying the books in the lab in order to make her into
a complete human being.
Mary
never stepped out of the half burnt house, Peter daily used to come in the
morning and used to stay with her till evening and after keeping her to sleep,
he will return back to the village.
One evening Mary wanted to convey her love
towards Peter, and so she decided to purpose him, on the same day peter finally
able to find the solution to turn her into a complete human being. Mary is now
15 years old and she must be in that womb machine up to 20 years completely in
order to turn into a complete human being, she first came out at the age of 5
years and she looked like a animal with animal characters and now she came out
again after living in that machine for 10 more years and now she came out at 15
years and she must be in that machine for 5 more years in order to turn into a complete
human being.
After finding the solution for Mary,
he decided to bring his mother, Jessy to this half burnt house and he wanted to
show Mary to Jessy and he wanted to convey that Mary is harmless and she can be
bring to normal by keeping in that artificial machine for 5 more years, then
after convincing his mother, he wanted to take Mary with the machine to the
village and after 5 years keeping Mary in that machine, he wanted to bring her
out as a complete human and then he will marry her and meanwhile, peter decided
to complete his studies and join into a profession and then he can live happily
with his father, mother and Mary.
After planning this, peter arranged
bed for Mary to sleep and he decided to return to the village as it is already
dark, and he has to cross a dense forest. But Mary wanted to convey her love to
peter now.
After arranging her bedding, peter
switched off the lights in that half burnt house and he closed the door and
bolted from outside and he started his march towards his village in the dark.
He slowly crossed the river and
entered the dense forest. He took a look towards the sky, he observed the moon
is in red color. He remembered Juka, once saying that when the moon is red, it
is an indication that some where somebody is going to shed blood (i.e. die).
But peter have no such beliefs, so he slowly entered into the forest thinking
about Mary. He is thinking that Mary is looking like a human but she may have
some animal characters and some animal behaviors. He is thinking to implement
his plan as fast as he can, thinking that no one knows what may happen the next
minute.
He is moving in the forest with busy
mind, his mind is full of thoughts and though his body is going to the village,
his mind is with Mary in the half burnt house. While he is moving in the
forest, he suddenly felt like something is watching him from behind. He
wondered that in these 6 months he never felt like someone is watching or
following him, of course he felt like this once when he went to that half burnt
house for the first time. but after that day he never felt like this. He then
suddenly remembered Juka, peter smiled and turned back and called out loudly
Juka’s name.
There is no response for his call,
he then conformed that it is not Juka. The forest returned back to silence, it
is like a few minutes before danger going to happen. He took a deep breath and
turned back and started to walk again towards the village. He now started to
quicken his steps, as he is started to feel like something is approaching him
from behind. Now he can hear the footsteps of something following him. He
started to move fast.
Suddenly he heard an unfamiliar
sound and he stopped suddenly. The footsteps sound also stopped. He felt that
sound like a grunt. He slowly turned back, sweat is rolling down his neck. It
is completely silent and dark behind him. Suddenly a roaring tiger sprang onto
peter from the dark.
The roar of the tiger echoed the
entire forest, the people in the village heard that sound, there sounds of
alerts (sound made when air is blown with mouth into a big shell) came from all
directions of the village and the villagers took out their axe, arrows, butcher
knives, large wooden logs and other weapons and they started to run into the
forest holding the weapons and sticks with fire towards the roar sound.
On the other hand, in the half burnt
house, the sleeping Mary heard the roar sound and she opened her eyes suddenly
in the dark, sensing that peter is in danger.
Peter escaped from the tiger attack
and he started to run into the dark forest. The hungry tiger is chasing peter.
The clear and sharp eye sight of the tiger is on peter. The people are running
into the forest with fire and weapons. Peter is running in the forest and he
even doesn’t know in which direction he is running. The tiger almost neared
peter. Peter suddenly hit a stone and fell on ground. The tiger locked its
target and sprang on peter, then came Mary from a side and attacked on the
tiger from side, giving a sharp stroke with her long pointed nailed legs. The
tiger fell down but now the tiger was hurt. Now its anger increased to full
extent. It started to attack on Mary. But Mary is escaping by high jumps like a
cat. Mary is giving blood strokes to which the tiger is losing its power.
Peter is still lying on the ground,
he is in confusion and he saw Mary attacks on the tiger. He saw a beast in her.
He felt that if she is left like this she may become a big problem to the
village.
Peter took a big wooden log and gave
a strong hit to the tiger, and for this hit by peter the tiger lost its
conscious and so Mary started to scratch the tiger body into pieces. Peter
again saw a beast in her. He started to fear seeing Mary, as she looked more
dangerous than the tiger. Mary tore the tiger body into pieces, the entire
surroundings around him is with blood of the tiger. Peter went near to Mary
with the wooden log in his hand.
Peter gave a hit on Mary’s head with
the same wooden log. Mary started to fall down, but peter caught her with his
hands. Now peter saw tears in the eyes of Mary, he now saw a great love in the
eyes of Mary. Seeing that love in her eyes, he too started crying for thinking
like a fool, though she came to save him, he hit her with the wooden log. Peter
hugged Mary crying bitterly, and he said sorry for acting like a fool
forgetting that she is still a baby in the womb.
In this dark blood filled sorrowful
night, Mary started losing conscious in the lap of peter, he after hugging her,
he looked into her eyes, it is filled with lot of love, peter pulled Mary near
and he kissed her. This kiss is a promise of peter to Mary that he will take
care of her.
As they are kissing, a sharp pointed
arrow came from behind Mary and it drove straight into Mary’s body from back.
That arrow struck into her body. Mary started slipping and she is losing her
conscious. Peter felt that the villagers are nearing the spot. It is their
arrow which struck into her body. He removed the arrow from her body and he
struck the arrow into the dead tiger body. He started to run holding Mary in
his hands towards the half burnt house.
The villagers came to the place and
found the dead tiger with the arrow struck into it. They all started to shout
happily that the deadly monster tiger finally dead. It has killed almost 21
people of the village in the past 15 years. They rejoiced and now they felt
that they can now travel to any place in any direction in the forest. But Juka
felt, how a tiger can die with a single arrow. He also saw the nailed strokes
on the tiger body, he felt like something went wrong, but he don’t wanted to
erase the happiness in the villagers face , so he too left those logics and
celebrated with them.
On the other side peter is with Mary
in that half burnt house. He took her into the lab and allowed her to lie on
the bed; she is completely out of conscious. There he connected her body to the
breathing machines and the heart rate monitor, but there are no signs of life
in her. She stopped taking breathing and her heart beat stopped. His hands and
clothes are filled with blood stains and he saw a large amount of blood oozing
from her body. He now felt that she is out of control.
He switched on the artificial womb
machine and placed her half animal, half human body in it. He bandaged her and
stopped blood flow from her body. He kept her lifeless body in the liquid in
that artificial womb machine.
He sat beside the machine and
started to cry out like a small boy lying on floor. He later stood up and
cleared his tears and rubbed out his eyes. And left the machine switched on,
hoping that she may come alive one day, he changed his clothes and closed the
windows of the lab and closed the attic and came down the half burnt house. He
closed and locked the main door of the half burnt house. And crossed the river
and returned to the village in the dark in grief.
When he reached home, his mother and
father hugged him as they worried for his missing. Peter said that the tiger
attacked him and he said that he escaped from the tiger, and he cried out
saying his mother and father “let’s go back to the city please”. Seeing all
these bloodshed incidents, Jessy and john finally decided to leave the village
and get back to the city as nothing is important to them other than peter.
Next day, John finally repaired
their car which gave trouble on a rainy night 6 months ago. John, Jessy and
peter started their journey to the city. They are unable to leave that village
but they must now continue their professional life and they must join peter in
a good college in the city.
For Peter, it is like moving away
carrying a lot of emotions with the village and the people. Juka felt so sad
for losing peter forever and he can still remember the day when he met peter on
that rainy day. Peter is very sad about Mary, he felt that it is his mistake of
bringing Mary out and it was his fault for the Mary’s death if she lived in
that machine for 5 more years, she may be a beautiful young girl.
Finally, the family reached the
city, John and Jessy soon became busy in their professions and peter is
admitted in a good college, he still has the observation diary of Mary in womb,
i.e. when she was a Fetus. He wrote at the next page of the diary as
“experiment failed”, and he threw that diary into the dustbin.
Coming back to the Forest village,
Juka is busy in thinking about the scratches on the dead tiger body he saw that
night. Coming to the dense forest, the river and the half burnt house and the
lab, and Mary in the artificial womb machine, inside her brain she suddenly got
memories of the days she spent with peter, she remembered the promise kiss of
peter his crying sounds echoed in her ears and in her mind. Suddenly she
started taking breathing and the heart beat monitor started to show her heart
beat, now she started taking breathing in the womb again, as the years passed
she is now going to transform into a complete human being and into a beautiful
women.
She is now growing as a Fetus in the
womb and in her every heart beat she is hearing peter’s words and she is
growing with all hopes to meet peter again……
