Tragedy 564 - Women behind the door

"What do you mean?" Lucy and Aland ask for an explanation.
"Rei, you still remember my and William's story about how we got off the island and escaped from the guards' evolvers, right?" ask Elvina.
Rei was silent for a moment. But before long, he remembered the story he meant.
"Oh. I understand. The fog…"
"Yeah, this is the same fog we told you about."
"That means…"
"Waith! Waita! What's going on? Rei, explain me!" Lucy's still trying to figure out what they've been talking about.
"Elvina and William once told me they could both get off the island and escape the guards' evolvers after they passed through the fog" Rei explained in English.
"Wait, what?"
"So you mean..we're in that fog?" ask Aland.
"Yeah." Elvina and William nodded their heads in unison as soon as they found the gaze from Aland.
"So that means this fog is the gateway to where we've been looking?" mumbling Lucy.
"Yeah…"

The woman was silent in front of a door that had since made a noise inside. He moved closer to the door and pushed it slowly.
The door is not open at all. It was as if something was holding the door open.
It seemed like the items inside were scattered from their place due to the shock just now. The door cannot be opened, the woman thought. He then squatted down, aligning his gaze on the keyhole on the door.
As soon as she peered inside, the woman saw a group of people gathered together. Strangers who haven't been in there since when.
I don't know why but I feel familiar with that man, his inner self. The woman kept watching him. Until then, the man moved. He looked towards the closed door.
The woman widened her eyes. He did not believe what he saw.
D-he…

"You okay?" Melinda approached Andrich. After a strong enough shock just now, the two of them fell down and were dragged until their bodies hit the wall quite strongly.
"I'm fine" Andrich murmured, holding his head still dizzy.
Melinda got up. Still with one hand tied to the handcuffs, Melinda led Andrich to the bed to make sure he was in.
"You sure you're okay? Your head was clashing against the wall. I'm worried your head's why-why."
"I'm really fine" Andrich said. "You better worry about yourself."
Andrich grabbed Melinda's hand. The woman's hand was bleeding because the surface of her skin was scratched by handcuffs that had been attached to their hands.
"See?"
"Shh.." Melinda grimaced in pain when Andrich suddenly grabbed her hand.
"You're bleeding."
"Let me handle this myself." Melinda tried to pull her hand. But Andrich actually held it and grasped it.
Melinda remained silent. The man suddenly licked the wound on his wrist. It made Melinda petrified.
